PASS TARIFF BILL
CONFEREES NAMED
FREE SUGAR. FREE wOOL-HoUSE
SCHEDULES REDUCED.
SAY REVENUE TO INCREASE
General Belief Exists That the Bill Will
Come Out of Conference Within
a Fortnight-President Ap-
proves Senate Bill.

Washington.-The Democratic tariff
revision bill passed the senate at SAB
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, amid a burst
of applause that swept down from crowd
ed galleries and found its echo on the
crowded floor of the senat Its passage
was attended with surprises in the final
moments OF the voting, when Senator La
Toilette, Republican, cast his vote with
the Democrats and was joined a few mo-
ments later by Senator P~oindexter, Pro-
g~ressiye.
Now that the bill has passed the sen
ate with many amendments, some Of
them materially reducing the rates to the
point. as house members claim, OF en-
dangering the revenues under it, and
with other features incorporated that
will be contested in conference, the ques-
tlon is how far the senate can compel
the house to yield to the senate amend
ments. President Wilson has been
quoted as saying that the bill as recently
acted upon by the senate is acceptable.
This statement "a made since the
increase in the tax of large incomes and
the imposition of the tax on cotton
futures. The presidential O. X. also, by
indirection at least, includes the increases
made by the senate in the cotton sched-
ule and Redistribution that neutralize
very materially the rates as arranged by
the house. 1t remains to be seen
whether, after the struggle in conference
begins, the president will continue to
stand by the bill as it passed the SEN
ate or will give the weight of his indi-
vidual views to the managers on the
part of the house.
Senators admit that the heaviest tug
between the conferees is likely to come
over the cotton schedule, some of the
reductions in the agricultural schedule
and the substitution of specific for the
house ad valorem rates in the silk SEIZED.
ule. With the president expressing ap-
proval OF the senate bill and agreeing
to certain amendments made since to
insure party unity, it is believed that
in the main the senate amendments will
be agreed to by the conferees.

CUMMINGS SET NEW RECORD
Largest Number of Bales to September l
Ever Known.

Washington.-The greatest quantity of
cotton ever ginned in the season prior 20
september l was reported by the census
bureau when it was announced 794. 900
bales OF the growth of 1913 had been
put out from the ginneries throughout
the South. The heavy ginnings for the
first period are the result of an early
maturing OF the crop and an effort by
farmers to beat the boil weeviE in the
opinion of census bureau officials.
All states reported an increased GIN
ming for the period over last years to-
tails for that tire with the exception
OF Texas and Nortn Carolina. Last year
to ST ptAmbcr l there had been gnned
81 pr cent Of the entire crop; in 1911
the quantity was 3 per cent.
Cotton from the growth OF 1918 ginned
prior 10 September ! amounted to 194.-
0oG bales, counting round as half bales.
This compared with 73o,335 bales last
year to September l, 771,297 bales in
1911 and 35@.011 la IS in lr10
Round bales included in this report
numbered 1884 compared with 7,i34 for
last year.
Sea Island bales included 400, com
pared with 232 for last Year.

UNEARTH SCHE me
Chicago Police Also Believe They Have
White Slave Ring,

Chicago.-The police of a dozen cities
were asked to investigate the records of
residents living at addresses recorded in
the Chinese black book" found by the
police while searching for a trail of the
murderer of Charles Sing, a Chinese mer-
chant here.
The apparent Importance of the "black
book and its list Of addresses with its
marginal notes in Chinese characters,
caused the police temporarily to lose
sight of its search for the assailant of
Sing.
Chinese interpreters declared that the
book listed agencies for conducting sales
of opium and that the book apparently
had been the property of a Chinese OF.
fetal high in some smuggling ring.
The book also contained records Of
Chinese struggled into the United States
and the police believe the net work OF
cities comprises a tunnel" for hiding
Struggled Chinese until they can be as
simulated by the Chinatswns Of the big
cities.
The finding of more than 20 letters
signed by white girls caused the police
to believe they had uncovered a white
slave ring.

Thaw May Remain in Canada.

Ottawa.-The justice and immigration
departments of the Canadian government
both announced that they desire to have
Thaw sent across the international hor-
der at the earliest possible date. They
fear, however, that under thb recent ha-
beas corpus writ Thaw's counsel may be
able to test the constitutionality of the
immigration law and that it may be a
year or two before the final decision is
given which will determine whether Thaw
is to be sent back or allowed to proceed
through Canada to some fercign destinS
tion.

GREAT FIRE At
HOT SPRINGS
TANNED BY HIGH WIND, BUT BUSJ
NESS SECTION SAVED.
LOSS REACHES s. ,0oo.0 900
Crsaehery Of Gale Causes Much Confusion
Among Fighters in Effort to Head
OF or Divert the Flames From
Business Houses.

Hot Springs.-Five million dollars
property loss, so blocks laid waste, 2,0OC
people homeless, is the story of the most
disastrous conflagration which ever Wis
tied this city Friday afternoon and
night. The fire burned its way practi
RALLY to the foot of West Mountain,
sweeping a district seven to ten blocks
in width from Hot Springs Mountain on
the east to West Mountain, a distance OF
. mile and a half.
Human ingenuity and modern fire ap-
paratus availed nothing against the re-
sisting force of the flames, famed by a
shifting gale which carried it first in one
direction and then another, threatening
the entire city at times.
: Hot Springs views in quiet awe such
scene of desolation as it never wit
messed before. Aided by the Little Rock
fire department, the local fire-fighting
force battled with the flames for almost
ten hours, fighting a hopeless battle at
every stage, and succeeding only in di-
verting the course of the fire from the
principal business section and the reser-
walton.
Gov. Hays announced that he was COM
ing to Hot Springs and would hold the
National Guard in readiness to patrol the
fire district if needed. This and many
other offers of assistance in fire-fighting
apparatus, financial aid, food and cloth
ing have been received from all quar-
tiers. 1t is not believed that Hot Springs
will need to avail itself of these many
offers.

ACQU|T JEROME
Of GAMBLING
COURT APOLOGIES FOR HUMILIA.
TON TO AMERICAN LAWYER.

Thaw Lawyers Will Contend Proceedings

Years-Case May Be Taken
to Privy Council.

Coaticook, Quebec.-William Trayers
Jerome was acquitted of the charge OF
having, gambled on the station properly
of the Grand Trunk railway here while
waiting for the immigration authorities
to pass on the case of Harry X. Thaw,
In discharging him the court apologized
for the humiliation to which he had been
subjected.
The hearing before Magistrate Henry
Mulvena of Sherbrooke lasted less than
an hour. 1t began at 1895 o'clock and
at $40 the court said. "Sir, you are
honorably discharged"
An attempt to hold an afternoon SEES
sion failed because the magistrate felt
he had no authority to take precedence
over James Mckee, the justice of the
peace who signed the warrant for Mr..
Jerome's arrest. At night, however, the
magistrate said he was convinced of his
authority to act, and the hearing moved
with dispatch.
Joseph Beaulne, a Coaticook lawyer,
who said he variously represented JUS
tice, the people and the criminal code,
interrupted 'the afternoon session, but
when he e~ndeavored to renew similar
tactics in the evening he was ruled out
of court.
When acquitted Mr.. jerome thanked
the court, spoke flatteringly of his re-
ception in Canada, and added that he did
not attribute his arrest and brief i'm
p%risonment to the thinking people of the
dominion.
