Besides the officials, a large num-
Der Of newspaper men crowded into
the presidents office. There was an
informal reception for a few minutes
and then the Underwood simmons
tariff law was carried away to the de-
partment OF State and deposited in
the archieves along with other hisl
toric pieces of legislation.
- Clerks Of. the Senate >thruug heut
the morning were at work correct
ing proof on the engrossed copy Of
the bill and making sure that 1t con-
tained no errors or misplaced pune
tuation marks. The bill, accompa-
MED by the conference report as last
night agreed on by the senate, came
into the house as soon as the body
met. For over an hour the house de-
bated as to what action it should
take. Speaker Clark finally upheld
the contention that the house must
recede from it's compromise cotton
futures tax and the house quickly
voted the provision out of the tariff
bill. The last vote was reached at
1.23, at 1.25 the speaker had affixed
his name to the completed bill and
within 10 minutes Chief Clerk Jerry
South had carried it to the senate,
and it had been signed by Vice Pres
ident Marshall. Clerks Of the senate
then took charge of the bill and con-
veyed it to the White House.
The relief of both houses at the
termination of the tariff fight was ap.
parent. Only extraordinary efforts OF
senate leaders kept enough senator's
In town to enable that body to work
today on the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill. Many m embers to-
night left Washington. although both
houses of congress will remain con-
structively in session.
The final steps today taken by the
house to complete the tariff bill did
not involve the rates of principles of
the measure. Republicans and Dem
ocrats cOncurred in the action of re-
ceding from the cotton futures tax
1t is generally understood that a
determined effort will be made as
sOOr as the new congress convenes in
December to take up cotton futures
tax legislation and pass q separate
bill to regulate cotton exchange trad
ing and to lay heavy tax on that
bers of house and senate characterize
as gambling"
Germany will be the first nation
to take advantage Of that section of
the new tariff act which provides for
mutual concessions i'm customs taxes.
Already the initial steps have been
taken to secure such an arrange
ment The chancellor Of the German
embassy. acting in the absence of
Ambassador Bernstorff, has been in
communication with the state depart
ment and ii Is expected n rough out
line draft of such an arrangement
soon will be ready for consideration.
AS II emerged from conference this
section no longer contains the retail
iatOry provisions inserted by the SEN
ate and is now nothing more than
an authorization of the executive to
negotiate trade agreements with for
cign nations wherein mutural conces-
sions are made looking toward freer
trade relations and further reciprocah
expansion of trade and commerce.

tin to the efforts of the California lemon
