Washington, April THE new tar
iff bill underwent a careful examina-
ton at the hands of members of the
senate finance committee. Although
the anti-free sugar forces from Lou
isiana and other cane and beet sugar
states were making an effort to rally
enough strength to defeat President
Wilson's compromise plan the senate
leaders were analyzing all contested
parts of the bill, the purpose being to
tell President Wilson whether the
leaders can accept the bill without
change.
The action of Chairman Underwood
of the ways and means committee in
turning the committees bill over to
the senate for examination is almost
unprecedented in tariff history, II is
said. Senate leaders insisted they
should be consulted in the preparation
of the tariff revision and President
Wilson has made efforts to bring the
senate, house and White House into
accord on the bill before the measure
is introduced.
Although the house tariff makers
have exercised their constitutional
right to prepare the tariff revision
bill, the proposed law will be made
satisfactory to the president and the
senate, it is believed, before being in
troduced.
Indications are that President VIII
sons compromise plan on the sugar
tariff would be accepted finally in the
senate. The idea is to reduce the
present duty of 1.34 cents per pound
on Cuban sugar to l cent a pound.
Cuban sugar is allowed to enter at 20
per cent less duty than sugar from
other countries. At the end of three
years it is proposed to admit all sugar
free of duty.

followed by MI. w. C. Wallace, as
Mr.. Traveller, singing Take Little
Tin From Father" to the bunch of
girls that were travelling with him
and Mrs. Traveller in the hotel office
in Paris. The second showed Mr..
and Mrs. Traveller in Spain being en-
ing entertained by a Spaish dance.
The third scene brought the Travel

by a chorus singing, Gee, Amt 1t
Great to Be Home Again"
Mrs. Stewart as Mrs. Traveller and
Mr.. Wallace as Mr.. Traveller were
very good indeed, as were all the
characters. The choruses, especially
the black-face chorus, with Miss
Rebecca Laing and Mr.. Pope McClung
as the soloists, singing "Mammy's
Shufiin' Dance" were fine.
The play will be presented again
