Large Democratic Majority
VIII Overrule Vote.
FEAR PRESIDENTS POWER
Manufacturers Meet to Discuss
Wording of Schedule.
Worry Over Authority to NegO.
tiate Increases.

Washington. May s.-DeIayed in its
passage last night by a parliamentary
technicality, the Underwood tariff bill
was engrossed today for the presenta-
tion to the house at its hour of meet
ing-2 p. m.
Because of the Democrat insistence
on a point of order against the Re-
publican motion to recommit the bill
to the ways and means committee with
a view to forcing a tariff commission
provision, the reading of the bill in it's
engrossed form was made necessary.
The parliamentary tacticians of both
the majority and the minority prepared
today for the final fray over the point
of order but the result in view of the
large Democrat majority in the house
was a foregone conclusion.
Meantime the Democratic leaders in
the senate were preparing for the con-
sideration of the bill there. There is
talk among the house leaders of taking
a recess of about 80 days during the
senate consideration of the tariff.
While there have been individual con-
ferences on the subject the fact that
the president has not yet communicated
his views regarding the question of cur
rency legislation at this or the regular
session of congress, has precluded any
formal consideration so far as to what
the house shall do when it disposes
of the tariff.
A conference of manufacturers and
producers called by the Illinois manu-
facturers association met here today
to talk over the tariff situation and
formulate plans for pressing some
amendments when the senate consid-
erS the Underwood bill.
President Kirby of the National
Manufacturers association, President
Wilder of the National association of
tanners, c. A. Byers, Baltimore; c. c.
Houston, Lewisburg, Tenn; Geo. w.
Blake, Wooster, Ohio; ]. r. Watson.
Chicago; w. S. Thomas, Springfield,
Ohio, and Paul E. Herschel of Peoria,
ILL.,, were among those leading the
movement.
The object of the conference as set
out in a statement by j. NJ. Glenn, sec
retary of the Illinois association is to
deal with the general proposition of
tariff revision as it is presented in the
Underwood bill and to look particu-
larl yto the wording of the paragraph
of the proposed law which empowers
the president to negotiate trade agree
ments of mutual concession with for
eign countries.
The manufacturers contend if the
president is given power to negotiate
concessions in tariff rates, he is also
empowered to negotiate increases, if
thew are warranted.

LOOK FOR IMMENSE YIELD
Final Crop of 513,571,OOO Bush
els Is Anticipated.
Reports Out on Rye, Hay, PlOw-
ing and Planting.

Washington, May S.-The first of
ficial estimate of the size of the crop
OF winter wheat was made today in
the May crop report of the crop re-
porting board, bureau of statistics,
United States department of agricul-
ture, issued at 2:15 p. m. The report
shows the condition on May L of win
ter wheat, rye, meadow lands and pas
lures; the percentage of spring plow-
ing and spring planting completed.
the acreage of winter wheat to be
harvested, the estimated outturn of
the winter wheat crop and the stocks
of hay on farms May l. The figures
are:
Winter Wheat-The average condi-
ton of winter wheat on May l was
91.9 per cent of a normal; compared
with .91.6 per cent on April 1: 1917
per cent on May 1, 1912, and S5.6 per
cent the average for the past ten years
on May 1.
The area of winter wheat remain
ing on May 1 to be harvested was
80, 93S, 600 acres. or 1,449,O0O acres
less than the area planted last au-
tumn, but 4,367.OOO acres more than
the area harvested last year:
The condition on May 1 is indicative
of yield per acre of approximately
1876 bushels, assuming average va
riations to prevail thereafter. On the
estimated area to be harvested this
would produce a final crop of 513.-
$1,000 bushels, compared with 399.-
$4,000 bushels in 1912, 43O. 900
bushels in 1911. 434, 142, 900 bushels in
1910 and 417,7S0,OO0 bushels in 1909.
The out turn of the crop probably
will be above or below the figures
here given according as the condition
from May l to time of harvest is
above or below the average change.
Rye-The condition of rye on May
1 was 81 per cent. of a normal, COM
pared with S9.3 per cent. on April 1:
S7.5 per cent on May 1, 1912, and
S9.6 per cent. the average for the past
ten years on May 1.
Meadow or hay lands-The average
condition of meadow or hay lands on
May / was SS.5 per cent. of a nor
NAL, compared with S5.7 per cent. on
May 1, 1912, and ten year average on
May of SS.5 per cent.
Hay on farms-The stocks of hay
on farms ON May 1 were estimated to
be 10,S2S.0 900 tons, compared with A.
744,0O0 tons on May 1. 1912, and s.
$4,000 on May l. 1911.
Pasture-The average condition of
pastures on May 1 was S7.1 per cent
of a normal. compared with S1.7 per
cent. on May 1. 1912, and a ten year
average on May l of SCI per cent.
Spring plowing-Of spring plowing
67.2 per cent. was completed up to
May L. compared with 52.S per cent.
on May 1, 1912, and a ten year aver
age on May l of 65.7 per cent.
Spring planting-Of spring planting
81 per cent. was completed up to May

VICTORY FOR WOMEN.
Suffrage Bill Passes Senate in Illinois
Legislature.

Springfield, ILL.,, May S.-By a vote
of 29 to Is Senator Magill's woman
suffrage bill passed the senate.
The fate of the measure in the house
is much less certain than it was in the
senate. Owing to the lateness of the
session, it is doubtful whether the
measure reaches a roll call in the
house before final adjournment.
The Magill bill extends the right of
suffrage to women in all elections of
statutory officers.
Senator Juul, heretofore an oppo-
nent of the bill, spoke in its favor. He
said the investigation of the white
slave" commission, of which he is a
member had convinced him that men
were not giving women protection
they needed.
Mrs. Sherman NJ. Booth of Chicago,
chairman of the executive departm ent
of the Illinois Equal Suffrage associa-
ton, said
1.-The victory for woman suffrage
which was won in the Illinois senate
after thirteen weeks of ceaseless atten-
ton to the legislature is significant.
The senate has seen the writing on
the WALL, Illinois has taken the first
step which may place it as the first
state east of the Mississippi to grant
the right of the franchise to women"

ON BANDITS TRAIL
Police of X. C.. Believe Train
RObber Is Close at Hand.
Theory That Desperate Crimi-
nal Held Up Short.

Kansas City, May S.-A bloody shirt
picked up in weeds along the railway
tracks between Courtney, Mo-, and
Eaton tower, IA miles east of Kansas
City, early today, encouraged the
day afternoon has been upon the trail
of ga wounded man believed to be the
robber who last week held up a Kan
sas City Southern train here, wounded
Jesse NJ Short of Joplin, and escaped
with $1,000.
Farmers throughout the Courtney
vicinity have been warned to look out
starve him out.
Louis Watson, another wounded
man held by the police in connection
with the robbery and identified by
Short as his assailant, was retained in
custody pending further efforts to
substantiate Shorts identification.
Comparison of the description of the
Kansas City Southern robber with po
lice records led detectives today to a
new theory that this robber is none
other than William La TraSSe, a deS-
perate criminal who escaped from the
Wyandotte county, Kansas, Jail two
years ago after being convicted of
holding up Missouri Pacific paSsen-
ger in the suburbs of Kansas City
the methods of La Trasse and of the
Kansas City Southern bandit were the
same and their physical description
practically identical.
La Trasse served five years in the
Missouri penitentiary for robbery and
at the time of his arrest on the Kan
sas City charge was said to be wanted
in Chicago for the murder of a saloon
keeper and in st. Joseph, where he

No Improvement of Patients at
Frankfort Hospital.

Washington, May S.-One of the ad-
verse factors retarding prevention of the
white plague" was the characterize
tion applied to DR.. F. F. Friedmanns
tuberculosis vaccine, by President Ho-
mer Folks in an opening address today
at the meeting of the national associa-
ton for the study and prevention of
tuberculosis
Nothing like the series of events"
said the speaker. (which followed the
announcement of the Friedman cure
IN Berlin has hitherto occurred in the
tuberculosis campaign. Only those
who have been engaged from day to
day inducing state and local authori-
ties to apply funds can appreciate how
vestly more difficult this task has been
made in the last few months by the
extremely effective press agents of DR..
Friedman. Thus far it has not been
evident to me as a layman that any
of those who have had to do with the
subject in this country have won much
credit.
when the Friedman cure has taken
it's legitimate place and perchance has
been forgotten, we shall remember
those professions coming from every
where whom the announcement of the
cure summoned to our vision
Later in the day meetings of the
clinical, sociological and pathological
sections were scheduled and at night a
conference of the, advisory council.
Physicians and others enlisted in the
crusade against the white plague are
present from all sections of the United
states. Former President Roosevelt
and Sir William Osler of Oxford uni

of the organization which will be in
session until tomorrow night.
Patients Are Not Improving.
Frankfort on Maine, May S.-Prof.
Paul Ehrlich, discoverer of Sa1varsan,
as we'll as several physicians of the
Frankfort municipal hospital, stated
today that all of the patients treated
by DR.. Friedman with his cure for
tuberculosis who are now under their
observation have failed to show any
progress whatsoever.
DR. Ehrlich has been in possession
of some of the Friedman cultures for
several months and he is now engaged
in analyzing these His report will not
then he refuses to make any definite
statement regarding the ultimate
merits or dement's of the friedman
serum.
The physicians of the Frankfort
hospital who have had the patients
treated by DR.. friedman several
months ago under constant observa-
ton do not hesitate to denounce the
serum as practically worthless as
specific That certain cases might by
chance be benefited they admit, but
they assert that none of those which |
they have observed have been i'm
proved in the slightest from the in |
lection of the turtle serum.
