TARIFF MEASURE
|N|TSF FINAL FORM
IS BEFORE HOUSE
Lower in Average Rate Than
Either Representatives or
Senate Bill.
MAY GET TO WILSON FOR
SIGNATURE WEDNESDAY
Lower Chamber Will Cease La
bors Until December, While
Senate Works on Currency.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The Un-
derwood Simmons tariff bill in It's
final form is now before the House.
1t is expected to be passed Wednes-
day when the House reconvenes and
to go to the Senate the same day
The bill representing the final
adjustment of disputes between
the Senate and House over the for
mers amendments, was made public
early today when the Democratic
managers submitted it for the first
time to their Republican colleagues
on the conference committee.
In the form in which the tariff bill
ultimately will go to President Will
son for his signature it carries many
changes from the original Underwood
bill passed by the House last May.
While the Senate gave way on many
of its amendments in the two weeks
fight in the conference committee,
many important changes were retain
ed and the general average of rates
of the House bill was reduced about
4 per cent. ad valorem.
In summary of the agreements
that have been informally announced
from day to day during the confer
ence work the report shows the fol-
lowing important alterations of the
original Underwood House bill:
The tax rate on incomes above $751;
600 was increased by graduated
scale from 8 per cent. to 7 per cent.
and the income tax exemption re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000. Articles
added to the free list include pig
iron, ferro manganese ore, cheap
grades of iron, cattle and other food
animals, wheat, flour, fax. hemp, su-
gar. refining machinery, school text
books, sand blast machinery, indigo

FIELDER WOULD
SELECT K|NKEAD
Governor Prefers Him to Gross
cup as Head of State
Committee.

TRENTON, Sept. Ex-Governor
Fielder today expressed a preference
for Congressman Eugene F. Kinkead,
of Hudson county, as chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, which
meets for the first time tomorrow.
The Governor said he had no idea
how the Democratic members would
line up on the selection of a chairman.
His preference for Mr.. Kinkead arises
from the fact that Kinkead is a Hud-
son county man, and also a close
neighbor, who can be reached at any
time.
"I would be very glad to have Mr..
Grosscup take active charge of the
management of my campaign in
South Jersey" he declared. The Gov
ernor said he did not want to be the
chairman of the State convention to-
morrow and further he had no prefer
ence for the Craftsmanship. The plat
form to be drawn up will be left en-
tirely to the convention, he said.
There is a possibility that the State
Headquarters will be in Jersey City
rather than in Trenton, the Governor
declared.

MOTHER OF SUICIDE
SLAYER ARRESTED
Brother of Homer Wiggins Also
Held as Accessory to
$3.50 Robbery.

4 WILMINGTON Del, Sept. 2s.--The
police today arrested Mrs. l.. NJ. Wig
gins McDermott. mother of Homer
Virgins. the escaped convict who
killed himself early today after a
sensational pistol battle with the po-
lice at lodging house in this city.
Wiggins's brother Harvey and two
other men who lived at the McDer-
mott house were also taken into GUS
tody All are charged with aiding
and abetting robbery and with re-
ceiving stolen goods.
These arrests were made after the
police had recovered $1,226 of the
s1.S39 stolen from the car barn office
of local trolley company on Sep
tember 8. Part of the money was
found in Wiggins's clothing after he
had committed suicide, and the re-
mainder was recovered from a tin
can that had been buried in a
chicken coop at the home of the con-
vict's mother.
The car barn robbery occurred
shortly after Virgins escaped from
the State penitentiary in Philadel-
phia. where he was serving a long
sentence for having killed a police
man.
At the request of the Wilmington
authorities the Philadelphia police to-
day detained a young woman with
whom Virgins had corresponded. No
charge was preferred against her.
Letters found when Virgins killed
himself led to her detention.

K|NKEAD TO FIGHT
FOR GUARDIANSHIP
Will Not Retire for Grosscup,
He Declares on Eve of
Convention.

The guiding spirits of three political
parties will meet at Trenton tomor-
row, as per laws decree. to adopt plat
forms, elect chairmen of their respec-
tive State committees and perform
other unusual feats. The parties are
Democratic, Republican and Progress
sive.
Nothing definite concerning plat
forms, it is said, will be given out,
until each convention has taken for
NAL action.
The Democrats will have their own
troubles over the State chairmanship.
Edward e. Grosscup yearns to hold
the job and Congressman Eugene Kin
kead is hot foot after it. Congress-
man Thomas ]. Scully declares he is
for Grosscup and even went so far as
to say that Kinkead would be
found lined up for the latter.
Kinkead says: Not by a long
shot, I'm out for myself and ex-
pect to win. l can neither be coaxed,
threatened nor cajoled into pulling out
for anybody"
Governor Fielder, declared by some
to be for Grosscup, comes out fiat
footed for Kinkead.
So there you are.
