With the extra session only three
days distant. efforts are being made
all along the line today to straiGhten
out the kinks in the Democratic
scheme OF tariff revision and to bring
the White House, the Senate, and the
House in accord on an "Administra-
tion measure
Sugar and wool, with incidental con-
fusion over the free list, are the
: items causing trouble. The Presiden;
leans towards both free sugar and
free wool: the Senate likes neither;
the House is willing to follow the
free sugar bill of the last extra ses-
sion. but it cannot be consistent and
putsra wool On the nen-dutiable list.
There is accordingly an eleventh
hour mix-up which is causing members
OF the Ways and Means Committee fig
urafively to tear their hair. Murmuri
are heard that 1t is all right to have
an Administration tariff bill, but isn't
the White House rather stretching
things when IL asks us to reverse our
selves on wool:
Wilson Offers Compromise.
On the other hand, the President has
been zifforrned by Democratic Senators
from the sugar-producing States that
free sugarawill wreck the industry, nor
do the sugar Senators'-seven in all
want to accept the Presidents sugges-
ton of q sweeping reduction now with
the free list, In sight within three years.
The President, as "a compromise for
the House. sfreel sugar bill, has proposed
duty. OF from-Se cents to 81, with the
understanding that sugar shall go on
ehe free list after three, years. This
f1ee say the Senators from Louisiana,
Coter4do and other States interested
primarily IN the industry, may save
the cane sugar growers, but it Will
wreck the best sugar makers.
With seven votes in the Senate against
q Tree sugar bill, the measure cannot
.sThs yrsn or the ways and Means
Cotpmittee,- irowever,-,Sas to be consist
ent and bring in another free sugar bill
and then compromise when the Senate
fkfcked out OF the tariff harness. In
this way the House would save its face
and members who defended the; free
sugar bill slast summer would not be
forced to turn az legislative Handspring.
The President seems inclined to do the
wh01e thing at-once; to make the House
bill the real bill and TO end the era of
Compromise In ,arir making.
Raw Wool Issue Troublesome.
Equally as troublesome. is the issue
over raw WOOL carried in schedule X.
which schedule contributed largely to
the undoing Of Mr.. Taft. Last summer
Mr.. Underwood and other Democratic
leaders protested loudly that a 20 per
cent ad valorep duty on the raw prod
uct was necessary. they had to have 1t,
they said, asa revenue producer, and
they challenged the Republicans to show
that the majorfty side wasn't in earnest
In Its efforts at tariff revision.
Today the Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee; against their secret
judgment, are about to be driven to the
necessity OF defending free raw wool,
thus yielding Indirectly to the Bryan
tdea which caused such commotion
MT summer.

SEEK AGREEMENT
ON TARIFF ISSUE

The House leaders in effect. are
struggling to be consistent and to stand
in the main for their sugar and wool
rates of year ago. The Senate mar
rowly Democratic, is looking at the
practical effect of removing all duty
from these two important items at one
fell swoop. and the Senate Just can't
swallow the dose
Predictions today are that the entire
muddle win end with the retention of a
greatly reduced duty on both articles
and sthatthe House caucus will approve
a 10: per cent duty on. raw wool, in lieu
of 20 per cent inSthe old Underwood
bill, and that 1t may stand by free

Powerful Lobbies at Work.
Thus far. there has been little more
than preliminary skfrmishing, but the
enemies of free sugar and free wool
are in position of great advantage
and there Is every indication the Ad-
ministration will compromise with them
With powerful Hobbies on hand and
extremely active in seeking to prevent
free sugar and free wool, and with Sen
ate leaders advising the President ne
cannot get a tariff bill containing free
wool and free sugar through the Sem

business effects of reductions In duties

the proceedings with interest and ready
to take any tactical advantage that

have been promising TO reduce the cost
of living are wondering how they are
going to accomplish it and at the same
time as a matter of practical legisla-
ton, put bill or bills through both
houses.
Following on the conference last night
between President Wilson and Senators
Simmons, Stone. and Hoke Smith, Sena-
tor Simmons met the Finance Commit

acquainting them with the views of the

to accept a compromise and support

leans, also discussed the sugar tariff
idenl the sugar industry could not
stand a radical cut in the duties.
The Senate Finance Committee met
this afternoon to consider the Under
wood bill rates and the views of the
President, but no definite decision was
reached. The trend Of sentiment seems
to be compromise on sugar at l cent
a pound, and Senator Simmons thinks
such bill can pass the Senate. The
main question now is whether the Sem
ators who want a high duty on sugar
will consent even to q compromise. /,

ONE MAN HURT
IN AUTO WRECK
S. H. Cottrell Is Badly Bruised in
Rear-End Collision on Cary
Street Road.

One passenger was badly bruised, a
heavy Simplex automobile owned by
Samuel REGISTER. OF ''Duntreath.'' near
Westhampton, turned over on its side,
and was damaged to a great extent.
and Hudson Six. owned by j. w.
Briggs, OF 2011 West Grace Street, was
almost completely wrecked last night
about $50 o'clock in a rear-end col
lision in the Cary Street Road about
half mile beyond the Belt Line.
S. II. Cottrell, or 1000 Park Avenue,
who was with Briggs. was at first
thought to have been seriously injured
in the accident and was rushed to
Grace Hospital in an automobile by
William Miller. Examination by sur
Seons however showed him to have
been merely bruised.
The REGISTER car. which was being
driven by Charles ID. REGISTER. was on
the way to Richmond. REGISTER had
stopped to render aid 10 Emanuel Raab,
OF 200 West Franklin Street. whose
machine had broken down. When the

companions. had just started to drive
off when the collision occurred.

The Briggs car. which witnesses said
was going about forty miles an hour.
crashed into the rear Of the Regester
machine just as 1t was moving off. The
latter car was knocked about sixty
feet and turned over. The occupants.
In some remarkable manner. escaped
injury. Cottrell was thrown out and
the car almost completely wrecked.
The body frame was said to have been
broken in two
Miller drove up at this point and Of
fered to bring the injured man to the

The rear tires on the REGISTER ma
chine were torn off by the force of the
blow. the rear lamp smashed and the
car otherwise damaged. 1t was neces
sary to leave both machines In the road.
They will be brought into town to-day.
That no one was killed was q re-
marlcable occurrence" said Mr.. Reyes
ter last night. "All of tho occupants
In our machine were thrown out when
1t turned over. and that mono Of us was
caught beneath 1t is almost q miracle"
Mr.. REGISTER added that all of tho
lights on his car. including that on
the rear, were burning brightly.
The Raab oar was not struck.
