gress tomorrow.

there was little prospect of an agree.
ment between the tariff conferees be-
fore Saturday. The speaker was be-
sieged with inquiries from members
who wished to leave the city and got
his information from the conferees.
The conferees today agreed on $1,000
as the amount of income of single
man that shall be free from the in.
come tax. For sarried man the ey.
emption will be $4,000 with no further
exemption for children. Only one ex.
emption Of $4,000 will be allowed for
Family, even though the husband and
wife have separate incomes. The con
ferees decided to put burlaps on the

dutiable list and to reduce the house
rate of 20 per cent on plain jute fab !
ribs bleached, to 10 per cent The con. !
ference report will be made to the !
house Saturday, it is expected to the /
senate Monday.
