WOOL AMENDM ENTS.
Two Offered by Senator LaFoIIette
 Promptly Voted Down.


 Promptly Voted Down.
 
 Washington, Sept S.-With the hope of passing the Underwood Simmons tariff bill before another sunrise. the senate settled down to a night session after working away upon the measure through the day. Democratic leaders had done their utmost to suppress gen eraI speeches and force progress, and before the evening session was we'll underway the voting on final import ant amendments had begun.
 La FoIette's Wood Substitute.
 The first hint of the final fight over free raw wool came late this afternoon, when Senator La Toilette introduced a general substitute for the wool tariff sections of the Underwood Simmons bill.
 An inheritance tax amendment offer ed by Senator Norris was pending at the time. and debate alternated be- tween the subjects for several hours.
 Democats Taken by Surprise.
 The La Toilette wool plan came as a surprise to the democratic side. In stead of the expected I5 per cent duty on raw wool after January 1 next, his the wool rates, based on a 30 per cent. raw wool duty for 1911, a 25 per cent. duty for 1915. and 8 15 per cent. duty after January 1, 1916.
 When Senator La Toilette concluded, Senator Stone, in charge of the wool sections of the bill, urged democrats to refrain from debate. He said the subject had been thoroughly covered before: that Senator La Toilette had refrained from offering his amendment when the wool issue was being dis cussed, and that the tariff bilPs pass age should not be delayed by the re- opening of the wool fight.
 Discrimination Against Wool Raisers. While the high wooien tariff rates of the present law came in for much of Senator LaFollette's criticism, he in sisted that the democratic bill did not treat the wool raising industry fairly. He declared the wool duty was about the only tariff duty from which the farmer profted, and demanded an ex- planation for the democratic plan of taking all the duty off wool at once, while the Louisiana sugar producers were given three years in which to prepare for free sugar
 When the vote came at the night SeS- sion the substitute was defeated, Al to 28. and immediately afterward Senator La Toilette offered another amendment 10 fix a straight 15 per cent. duty on wool, and this was promptly voted down. 39 to 29. The Penrose wool sub stitute was defeated viva voce.
 Sugar Schedule Stands.
 Washington, Sept. 9-The sugar schedule without amendment and in cluding the provision for free sugar in 1916, was finally agreed to at one o'clock this morning. Senator Bris- tow yiGded in his former demand for another roll call because Senator Rans- delPs amendment had been decisively defeated earlier

John Ansclmo, charged with the muir
