COTTON SCHEDULE RAISED
AVERAGE FOR ALL GRADES OF
 COTTON SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
Higher Duties on More Expensive Grades and Reductions on the
 Cheaper, Aim of Committee.

Washington, June 13.-The cotton schedule, regarded as the most intri- cate and bothersome of the tariff re- vision bill, has at last been pro- nounced completed by the Democratic members of the senate finance con- mittee.
 Emphatic denial is made that near ly all the rates in this schedule have been materially increased over those carried by the Underwood measure as it passed the house. It is admitted that the average for all grades of cot ton manufacture has been slightly raised, but it is denied that this rep resents an advance of more than cent in 30
 That the total revenue from the cotton schedule will not show any de- crease is the opinion of the finance committee members The most i'm portant changes involve higher du- ties on the more expensive grades of cotton goods and reductions in the less expensive grades, on the theory that those desiring luxuries must pay for them.
 The rate on cotton yarns has been raised all along the line Cotton hosiery has been given a little more protection than that afforded by the house Underwood bill
 Other changes in the bill by the senate subcommittee in transferring articles to the free list will aggregate an estimated annual loss in revenue If nearly $l,500,000 a year.
 Among the articles which have been added to the free list and the esti- mated revenues cut off are: Pig iron, s120,000: ferro manganese and spiege- leisen, $126,500: hemp, $73,400; live stock, $5S3,000; wheat. $200,000; pho- tographic films, $216.OO0; cedar wood, s10,000; coal tar dyes, $9000; total, s1,4t7 800
 The majority members of the fi- rance committee will hold daily ses- fiens, until the whole measure is per- tected.
 The subcommittee in charge of sugar, flax, linen and agricultural products is seeking an adjustment of many troublesome problems. Sena- tors Williams, Shively and Gore com pose this committee and the comple- tion of the bill will be trifie delayed because of their inability to reach agreements

MERGER HEARING HITS SNAG
Union Pacific Stockholders Insist Upon Fixing Minimum Price for
 Southern Pacific Holdings.

St. Paul, June 13-A hitch in the plans offered by counsel for the Union Pacific railroad for the disposal of Southern Pacific stock held by Union Pacific shareholders occurred in the dissolution hearing before Judges w. Ii. Sanborn, w. c. Hook and w. L. Smith in the United States circuit court
 s. H. Loomis, for the Union Pacific, suggested that the Union Pacific stockholders be allowed to fix a min imum price at which they should dis pose of Southern Pacific stock, with the avowed object of creating a de mand for the stock by the margin be- tween the market price and the mini mum price fixed
 Judge Smith objected strongly to this suggestion on the ground that it would enable the Union Pacific stock holders to fix prohibitive price and thus enable them to retain control in the Southern Pacific road
The Prescott daily news., 1913-06-13

Attorney Loomis ihen suggested that the time limit for the disposal of the stock be fixed at one year, and this plan also met with objection by Judge Smith, who said that the time limit should be six months Judge Jmitn proposed that the court fix a maximum price above which the mini mum price fixed by the railroad could not go.
 Attorney Loomis said this would be an unjust restraint on the railroads.
 We want the time limit one year so that the market will not be upset by the sudden flooding of 1t with Southern Pacific. stock"
 Attorney-General J. C Nnpovscl1e; R. s. Lovett, head of tn iil :4si cystem; Frank B. Kels ya1 sented the government in he l sso lTtion trial before the circuit court, and an array of legal lights attended the hearing.

Kills a Fox Worth $1,000.

Jack Emboy, an employe of a saw
mill near Silver Lake. California, was
greatly disturbed and angered by the
bowling of the coyotes and the barking
of dogs one night last week, and took a
shot at them through the window. The
next morning he Thanked his lucky star
when he found the chance shot at the
disturbers of his peace had killed a sill
yer grey fox, the pelt of which is esti-
mated to be worth $1,000. Since EN-
boy made his fortunate shot there is a
great deal of shooting noticeable in that
neighborhood at night, and it is evident
some of the other citizens are trying 10
emulate his example.

NORMAL NOTES.

Floyd, the Magician, who is TO give
the next entertainment in the Normal
lecture course, is without doubt the most
skillful exponent Of pure sleight-of hand
that has ever appeared upon the Lyce-
um platform. He has followed this liue
of work for over 20 years. He vas the
pioneer and still maintains the lead. He
has invented. designed and presented
more brilliant magical experiments than
any magician now living. He is con-
slantly at work upon some new and
wonderful mystery, and so startling are
some of the effects and so nearly perfect
his art, that he has but 10 command the
most unheard-of things 10 happen and

Magic that is Magic is what the
Fioyds ole. as the next attraction at the
Normal lecture course Every feature
on their program is thick and broad and
long with entertainment; the kind that
is utterly devoid of the conventional and
antique. Their 20 years of experience
has placed them in the front ranks of
Americas greatest artists They are en-
tertainers of the very highest class All
of their wonderful experiments in mod
ern magic, mind-reading and illusions
are strictly original. An evening of
startling surprises, refined mirth and
pleasing music is assured all all who at
tend this unique performance.
The Floyds, magicians, who are to be
the next entertainers in the Normal lee
ture course, have arranged a program
for this season, consisting of tricks and
illusions that surpass anything hereto
fore achieved in the field of modern mag
ir. The mind reading, or second sight
act by Mohala, is a unique feature, be-
ing unlike anything of its class, an ex-
hibition which not only affords amuse
ment, but at which scientific minds
marvel 1t is gift, and successful i'm
itation of her work is impossible.
The only supreme novelty upon the
the Lyceum platform this season is the
Floyds, magicians, illusionlsts and en-
terlainers, who are to appear as the next
number of the Normal lecture course.
They present a program filled with new
and startling features, pleasing music,
marvellous mindreading and prestidigi-
'ation. The Floyds offer an entertain
ment that is we'll worth the price of a
ticket 10 the entire course.

CHICAGO CLUB
AFTER TINKER
1000
President Murphy Hopes to
Land Former shortstop
From Cincinnati.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Both Joe Tinker
deposed manager of the Cincinnati
National league ball club. and Charles
W. Murphy, president of the Chicago
club, thought yesterday that the fail
ure Of the directors Of the Cincinnati
club to rati.y Tinker's sale to Brook
lyn would send Tinker TO Chicago
next year.
Tinker, before the announcement
OF his sale. with its $500 bonus, had
declared that he would either play in
Chicago. or P%ittsburg Or not at all.
The $4,000 bonus made him hest
tate and it is believed he was on. the
point of accepting the terms Of the
sale. Now the announcement that the
Cincinnati club would insist on a
trade involving the ACQUISITION Of two
players instead of a cash sale, istbe-
lieved to have confirmed the ballplay-
err in his determination to play in Chi
cage.
Cincinnati has asked Brooklyn for
d choice of pitchers Ragon and Wing
ling and Outfielders Moran and Stem
gel with a cash bonus of $4,000.
Murphy today mailed August. Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati
club, a list Of the reserve Chicago
players whom he is willing to offer IN
trade for Tinker.
