MANY TARIFF CHANGES
BY SENATE DEMOCRATS
Thirty Amendments Made by
the Finance Committee in
the Chemical Schedule.
MAY NOT SUIT PRESIDENT
Protests from Foreign Countries
Against Administrative Feat
ures of Bill Continue
To Be Received.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. May 19.-Progress in the
work OF revamping the tariff bill by the
Democrats of the Senate Finance Com
mittee was signalized to-day by the in
formal announcement that the chemical
schedule, the first of the bill was prac-
tically ready for the caucus.
As evidence of the purpose Of the SEN
ate Democrats to modify the bill. the
chemical schedule carries thirty amend
ments. These practically meet all the
objections made 10 IL by the Republicans
In the House and eliminate several items
which had been singled out for attack in
the Senate. The changes are such that
the question has been raised whether the
schedule will meet entirely the approval
Of the President.
Protests against administrative feat
ures of the bill and the provision that
would grant per cent reduction OF
the duty on imports in American bot
toms have been filed with the State De-
partment by England. Germany. France,
Italy. Australia and other countries and
communicated 10 the Finance Committee,
where they will first be considered by n
subcommittee of which Senator Will
Jams is chairman.
From several countries have come pro-
tests against the provision which would
give the Secretary of the Treasury au-
thority to exclude from entry goods OF
merchants or manufacturers who refuse
10 submit for inspection by United
States agents their accounts pertaining
10 valuations or classifications of mer-
chandise whenever disputes arise. The
present attitude of the committee and
the administration is TO adhere to this
provision. the claim being that it Will
not be abused and will serve as bar TO
professional defrauders.
one request OF the foreign govern
ments is for return TO provision Of
tariff laws before the Payne-Aldrich bill
which in cases OF disputed valuation
would give the appraiser the right TO in
crease il or 10 per cent.
Gross customs frauds through under
valuations and three-fourths of the iiti-
cation 10 which the government is driven
in the collection OF It's tariff duties would
be avoided according TO the claims OF

port " these and other administrative
changes Mcssrs. Denison and Curtis filed
brief with the subcommittee OF the
Senate Finance Committee to-day.
a delegation from Porto Rico called at
the White House to-day and presented 10
the President a memorial in opposition TO

phatic in his declaration that he Will

FIELDER ACTS TO RUSH
JURY REFORM IN JERSEY
Criticism of Wilson's Plan
Forces Governor to Put For

Trenton, May 19.-Asserting that Presl-

Mr.. FEEDERS statement and his sub

ON SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
Now Opposed to Rider Granting
Labor and Farmers Immunity
from Prosecution as Trusts.

Washington. May ls-With the sundry
civil bill beyond recall FOR amendment,
the President Is understood 10 have
changed his mind regarding the wisdom
OF that section granting immunity from
prosecution under the Sherman law OF
labor unions and farmers cooperative
associations. Mr.. Wilson IS said to have
made an eleventh-hour suggestion to
House and Senate leaders that the pro-
vision which caused President Tart to
veto the bill be eliminated, only to as
certain that the bill is in conference and
cannot be changed.
The sundry civil bill was recently rein
troduced In the House In the same form
I'm which IL was vetoed by President Taft.
At that time the impression was allowed
10 20 abroad that Mr.. Wilson did not
disapprove of the clause eXemptinS labor

that he would sign the bill with this
rider In II.
President Wilson is reported now, how

Taft characterized II as 'class legisla-

MINERS STRIKE INQUIRY
Senate to Investigate Condl'

GOVERNOR DEFIES CRITICS
Says Miners, but Not Anarch-

Him for Peace.
[From The Tribune Bureau


Washington. May 19.-An agreement
was reached in the Senate to-day when
paves the way for an investigation OF
the strike conditions in the Paint Creek
coal region of West Virginia by COM
mittee Of three members OF the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor.
After several hours Of spirited debate
the Kern resolution was referred to the
committee, with the understanding that
ii will approve the plan for an investiga-
ton by subcommittee Of three. one
OF the members will be Senator Borah'
representing the minority. The Demo
cratic members have not yet been Sc
lected.
Senator Golf, who has taken the lead IN
the opposition to the investigation, main
tanning that the Governor of the state
was acting within his powers in declaring
martial law to suppress the rioting,
aroused the hostility Of some Senator'S by
suggesting that similar steps might well
lie taken TO restore order in Paterson,
y. j.. and I'm Cincinnati.
Senator MARITIME jumped to his feet and
declared. with his accustomed vehemence,
that New Jersey was well able TO main
tain order within her own boundaries
without resorting to the methods prevail
ing in West Virginia.
IF the Senator from West Virginia
comes TO our state" he said, The Will
find that we can take care OF disorders
without denying people the right OF
trial by jury"
Although there Is a preponderance OF
sentiment in the Senate in favor OF the
investigation of the West Virginia coal
strike situation, Democrats have some
misgivings lest the adoption OF the reSolu-
ton might set a precedent for similar In
vestigatlons in the South where negro

BY JUDGES RELUCTANCE
Case of N. P. Wedin, Charged
with Neglect of Duty, Goes
to Higher Court.

Sheriff Nicholas J.. Wedin OF Hudson

terday in Jersey City before Supreme
Court Justice Swayze and Judges George

Common Pleas Court. on charge OF
neglect OF duty in having allowed three
men to escape from the county Jail on
the morning OF Monday. April q. last.

Wedin was challenged by. the Prose
cutor last Tuesday. and tho Sheriff. In
order to prevent the dismissal OF the
jury. waived an indictment and con-
scented to so on trial without action
being taken I'm his case by the grand
jury.
The first witness called yesterday was
Burt" Ellis, one OF the prisoners who
escaped. but who was recapturcd. Ellis
said he first learned OF the plan 20 es-
cape on the Friday before the day on
which the break for liberty was made.
lie saw Harry Kane. an alleged burglar,
saving the bar OF a window. and was
told by trusty. whom he knew as Nor
man. there was plot to escape.
The judges conferred without leaving
their seats and then Justice Swayze an
nounced suspended Judgment OF guilty.
lie said in part:
I'VE think the Sheriff has failed TO meet
proper standard Of responsibility. The
common law IL severe on the Sheriff. but
not more severe on him than on n com
mon carrier where IT imposes an absolute
responsibility for safety. The Legislature
has given the Sheriff the power to relieve
himself from responsibility for the jail by
turning over its care to the Board OF
Chosen Freeholders He chose TO retain
that responsibility.

the defendant guilty But not one Of us
is willing TO proceed TO judgment without
the advice OF the Supreme Court In the
matter. We decline. therefore. TO enter
Judgment and order that the case be
taken to the Supreme Court on a writ of
