NEARLY 1900 WILL
BE PENALIZED FOR
NOT FILING LISTS

The tax assessors estimate that
there will be between 1000 and 1900
tax payers against whom the 10 per
cent. penalty for failure to file their
lists will be levied this year. Nearly
100 persons came into the assessors
office this morning prepared to file
lists and many of them were indig-
nant when told that the time for fling
lists had expired.
Up to 4 o'clock last night when the
time was up for filing lists, 1851
property owners had sworn to their
taxable property before the assessors.
This was an increase of sos over last
year when 9,154 property owners filed
their lists. The assessors estimate
there are about $4,000 property own
ers who must pay taxes this year. OF
this number, 1000 are non-residents
who are not required by law to file
their lists and against whom the as

SAILING
FOR TARIFF BILL
IN SENATE NOW

Washington, Oct. democratic
support for the conference report on
the tariff bill appeared to be united
when the Senate, today, began the
final consideration of the Dem
revision measure. The aII-day eau
Gus of yesterday, which had threshed
out the differences within party ranks
and brought about unanimous sup
port of the conference report, led
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee to hope there would be
little delay in securing final action
on the bill. Republican Senators had
not disclosed the extent of their pro-
posed criticism of the conference
agreement when the days work be-
gan in the Senate but it was expected
that Senators LaFolIette, Penrose and
others would speak at some length.
The decision of Senate Democrats
to drop the entire cotton futures
question out of the present tariff law
is expected to meet with the approval
of the House. The latter body en-
dorsed the proposed compromise,
Tuesday, only by a narrow margin
and many of those who voted for it,
including Democratic Leader Under
wood, said they would prefer to have
the whole subject treated in special
legislation rather than in an amend
ment to the tariff bill.

EARTHQUAKE
IS NOT FEARED
IN CANAL ZONE

Washington, Oct. 2"Recorded vi
brations of what evidently was the
earthquake which visited the Panama
Canal Zone. late last night, were
shown on the seismograph at the
Georgetown University observatory
here. The vibration lasted from
about 1885 O'Clock until about 10
minutes after midnight and the mo-
ton was confined to an east and west
direction. The instrument showed
that the earthquake was 1000 miles
or more distant from here.
The Panama records which have
been carefully studied by the canal
designers, fail to show the occurrence
of anything more than slight seismic
disturbances in that quarter far
back as the history of the isthnus is
known. There are standing, today,
