ADAMANT FOR FREE WOOL
 AND FREE SUGAR

Washington. June 6President Will son's position in support of free wool and free sugar seems to grow strong CT as the day of the Senate caucus draws near. The tariff bill will be put to the acid test there and party leaders now feel that the Presidents s stand will be supported almost unant- mousIy by the party with the excep- ton Of twp or three Senators being released from the caucus pledge. There is an increasing possibility that not more than two or three Senators will oppose the bill to the end.
 Senator after Senator on the ma Jorftys side has signif1ed his intention to abide by the decision of the cau- GUS by testimony given before meet ings.
 Free shoes, free lumber. free agrt- cultural products, free wool and free sugar as provided in the Underwood bill are to stand, the admins tradon leaders declare, and the probability of any amendments to those items on the floor of the Senate is 1essening.

REORGANIZATION
 OF CUSTOMS PLAN
 TO BE POSTPONED

Washington, June 5-Secretary Mo Adoo has recommended to Congress g postponenpent of the customs reorga- nizatlon plan until January, 1914, be- cause of objections against 1t and be- cause he believes it contains imper- factions. The secretary, however, ap- groves the principle of the reorganiza- tion- Theoretically, every customs port in the United States is effected by this decision.
 The secretary's recommendation was sent to Senator Clarke, chairman of the commerce committee. MT. McAdoo believes, it Is said, that the plan con tains many things which should be omitted and Is devoid of other reforms he Is anxious to make in the GUS toms service In suggesting a post pom ernen&, of six months, he recom- mende that Congress amend the law so that the plan of reorganization must result in a saving of s5o0,00O based upon the expenses of the cl1s- toms service for the current fiscal year.
 The President, secretary of the treas ury and Congress have been bonbard- ed with protests against the reogant- zation which would revoiutfontze the customs service and reduce the nun Der of districts and collectors of cus- toms from 156 to 49.

Hartford, June 5-As a majority leader. Senator McDonough. of the 14th district, was the recipient of many congratulations at the close of the ses- sion. Out of about 700 matters handled by the judiciary committee and re-
 ported to the Senate, he has lost out on not over half a dozen, so far as his own branch was concerned. Senator Neebe, of the labor commit tee, also was congratulated on the work
 of th1s committee and the statement
 was made that this session had pass

 It is impossible to tell just how much legislative business was thrown overboard by the adjournment of the General Assembly yesterday. The, opinion had been held that most of their reports on bills but it is now known that scores of reports were held back and dumped into wastebaskets Members who had pet measures of

 Some mem bers are wondering if the governors nomination of William H. Caldwell to be a. director of the Con- nectdcut River company was confirTned by the Senate The name was sent In early in the session after the high way commission ership nomination in cfdent but withdrawn and it was sent in again a fortnight ago. Apparently 1t was not acted upon
 The governor will probably not sign the bill which gives the director of the agricultural experiment station the right to map out areas in which mos oI1itoes breed and to report. plan for externhnation of the pest to the next assembly. The governor intend ed to have sent in a veto. message but changed his mind and tIre 1egisla- | t1Vre is not now in session his failure i to approve of 1t will under the con stitution presumably nullify it.
 The general impression is that on some bills which have been. passed and which in their expressed form will ! rot be in the executive office for some days, the governor will file memor- a1.da with the Secretary of State It | is thought possible that the general arrnory bill will become law in such fashion although the constitution pro vides that if a, bill is unsigned it fails

 Although Chairman Overman would not admit that the committee was receiving aid from the White House, the opinion prevailed about the capitol that the names of some of the men summoned as witnesses have been sug- gested by President Wilson. Friends of the President are sure that some interesting information will be secured from those summoned.
 Senator Golf, first witness, today, said his West Virginia coal property brought him about $25,O00 a year in royalties, while his oil properties paid him about $50, 900 a year.
