CAUCUS SLOW IN
TARIFF REVISION
Bill May Not Be Ready for the
Senate Before
June l..

WASHINGTON. April 15.--Slow
progress in consideration of the new
tariff bill by the Democratic House
caucus has upset the early predic-
ton of administration leaders that
the bill would be ready for the SEN
ate by May /,
After a week of elaboration the
caucus is less than half way through
the proposed measure. with several
of the important schedules yet to be
disposed of, notably wool and cot
ton. The income tax also is certa IN
to require considerable time in dis
cussion as members desire to have il
thoroughly explained. Representa-
tive Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, au-
thor of the income tax section, will
have charge of it in the caucus, |.
probably will not be reached before
the last of the week.
Today the caucus resumed consid.
Grafton of the agricultural schedule,
wheat being first taken up. North
western representatives opposed the
free listing of flour. declaring 1t in
consistent VIII Il Piopo6td ddtS "
ten cents. a bushel on wheat. Citrus
fruits also were the target for oppo-
stion as well as the free listing OF
potatoes
Representative Levy, of New York
moved to place wheat ON the free list
Representative Fowler, of Illinois, of
fred an amendment to increase thu
proposed duty on wheat from 10 cents
to 10 cents bushel
The CAUCUS rejected both amend
ments and left the wheat rate as de
termined by Mr.. Underwood and hi!
colleagues.
When free deliberations were re-
sumed today many members pre-
dicted that the caucus would not be
through the bill until the middle OF
next week.
In that case its consideration in the
House cannot begin until late in that
week. and the prospect that it will be
nearer June / than May | before the
bill is ready for the Senate.

TWO ASK TO GET
WIDOWS PENSIONS
Expect County Clerks Office
Here to Be Flooded With
Requests Now.

The first of what promises to be
veritable flood of petitions for relief
under the law recently passed by the
State Legislature known as IAN act
to promote home life for dependent
children" but more generally called
the Widows pension bill, made
their appearance at the Court House
today. when Mrs. Michael Markey, of
240 Bergen street, appeared at the
county clerks office seeking informa-
ton as to. the scope of the bill
The bill was introduced by Sena-
tor Nichols on January IA. 1t was
passed by the Senate on March a.
and became law last week. The
provisions of the bill have not as yet
reached the county clerks office and
Mrs. Markey was told to call later
after the engrossed copy of the law
is received and its terms understood
by the county officials.
Hardly had this been explained TO
Mrs. Marley, when Mrs. stephen
Wheeler, a widow with one child, APP
peared seeking the same information.
The act, which is now a law, is sure
to result in a big influx of widows
seeking assistance from the county,
as It's terms as drawn are broad.
Whether a great number of WIDOWS
will have to be aided under the law
remains to be seen, but 1t is certain
that vast amount of work will be
entailed on the county clerk, the Court
n
poor and the State Board of Children S
Guardians, who are investigating
bodies under the new law.
The law provides that any widow
who is a mother of child or children
under the age OF 16 and who, because
of physical incapacity or other reason
is unable to support them and to
maintain her home, may present q
petition for assistance to .the Court
of Common Pleas in the county
wherein she resides.
After the application blank Is filled
out notices are sent to the overseer
of the poor having jurisdiction over
the district where the petitioner lives
and the board of children's guardians.
These petitions will be investigated
and, upon their return to the Court
of Common Pleas an examination of
all concerned in the matter will be
held.
/ If upon the completion of the exam
nation the court concludes that I'M
less relief is granted the mother will
be unable to keep her children and
that they may become public charge
the court shall make an order direct
ing that the mother shall be paid
monthly out of the county funds a
sum for the maintenance and sup
port of children under Is years of
age
The payments, it is specified, shall
amount to 50 a month for one child,
s14 a month for two children, with $4
month for each additional child in
excess of two.
In the application made today Mrs.
Markey has two children and would
be entitled to $14 a month, while Mrs.
Wheeler has one child and will draw
SO monthly if her application should
be favorably acted upon.

prophesied that the bill. substantially
as it now is, would go through both

turers would not be adversely af-
fected thereby. He promised 30 do
everything in his power to make a
change in the tariff on patent and

Congressman Townsend, because of
the lateness of the hour spoke briefly
of Jeffersonian Democracy, reading
several extracts from the writings
and speeches of Thomas. Jefferson.

things about others and doing things
that would be detrimental to organ

to be to attack men who led the or

10000 TODAY IN
BELGIAN STRIKE
This Is One-Third of Country's
Whole Working Pop
ulation.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, April Ia
More than third of the total number
of workmen in Belgium are on strike
today.
Figures gathered by the Associated
Press from all the provinces except
Antwerp and West Flanders showed
a total of $4,000 strikers today In
Antwerp and West Flanders, where
the Socialists are weakest, there are
about $4,000 strikers, making in all
2T0, 900 men. These figures vary some
what from the Socialist estimate of
$50, 900 men and the government esti-
mate of 10000.
There has been no violence, and
tranquility is reported everywhere
today Only four men have been ar
rested thus far for interfering with
non-strikers. The strike leaders insist
that the STRIKE shall be one of folded
arms and not raised fists
The strike is intended by the Social
lists as a protest against the system
of plural voting, which effectually pre-
vents them from obtaining a majority
at the polls and which has permitted
the Clerical party to remain In power
for the last twenty years.

MUST SHUN STATE
TO GET INCOME
Will of Mrs. Mary Cook Cuts
Off Daughter if She En-
ters Jersey.

Mrs. Adelaide Augusta Cook Seham-
bers now living in Wilcox, Ariz., is
to receive an income of $50 a month
from the estate of her mother, Mary
J. Cook, who died on April last, as
long as she maintains her residence
outside of the State of New Jersey
The moment Mrs. Schambers takes up
her residence in this State she is to
be cut off from any further partieipa-
ton in the estate, which is large
one.
The only explanation given IN the
will for this peculiar bequest is as
follows: "or reasons satisfactory to
myself and well understood by my
daughter Adelaide. it is my will and
l hereby direct that she shall not in
any manner participate In or have
any right or interest in my estate, ex-
cept as to the provisions made
The provision made is that during
her lifetime Mrs. Sehambers, who is
said to be about % years of age, and
to have been In Arizona for five years,
is to have $50 income derived from a
house and lot owned by Mrs. Cook, at
High and Fayette streets. Perth AM
boy If she should return to this
State or in the event of her death the
property shall become part of the resi-
duary estate of Mrs. Cook.
Beecher & Bedford, who drew Mrs.
Cooks will, were unwilling today to
discuss the practical cutting off of the
daughter. Mr.. Bedford made the
rather enigmatical statement that
Mrs. Cook did not want her daughter
in the same State with her, even is
she 1Mrs. Cook) was in her grave, and
drew her will so as to keep her daugh-
ter away from her. Mr. Bedford re-
fused to discuss the cause of the dis
agreement between mother and
daughter, but intimated that he would
not be surprised. if there were a con-
test over the will.
This was evidently in the mind of
Mrs. Cook when she had the docu-
ment drawn, as it provides that in
the event of contest over the will
the party contesting shall be forced
to pay all costs of the contest out
of the share the contestant would
receive under the will The con-
testant is not disbarred from partiei-
pating in the will, but none of the
cost OF the tOIllGSl Is lO tplilt out VI
the share of others interested in the
estate.
In addition to the clauses relating
10 the daughter in the will, which is
dated December IA, 1911, number of
specific requests are made. Mrs.
Emeline A. DeNoyelle, sister, is
given $4,000 To the nine children of
dead brother, George f. Bennison,
of Waltham, Mass, various sums are
left, as follows: To Henry c., Will
liam 4. and Fanny Louise Bennison,
$500 each; to Mrs Harriet Elsie Ham
and Edgar C. Bennison, $500 each;
to Albert E., Walter c. and Mrs.
Sarah c.. Griswold. 5000 each, and to
George O. Bennison, $50.
To Clarence Vigus, grand nephew,
is bequeathed 5000, while Helen ID.
Ward, friend is left $500. The
residue of the estate is left TO Mrs.
Lillian f. Vigus, a nice, living at
300 Hilcrest terrace, East Orange,
and William L. Masker, of 290 Broad
street, Newark. Mrs. Vigus and Mr..
Masker being named as executors
and trustees under the will. Mr..
Masker is not mentioned As being
of any kin to Mrs. Cook.
