JAPs SEND LOVING
CUP TO AMERICA

CHARLESTON in MEMORY
OF SERVICES.

Washington, D. c., July A While
diplomatic Washington is conjecturing
over the voluminous correspondence
between the United States and Japan,
the two countries, by alternately ex-
tending courtesies to each other, are
keeping the curious ones completely
in the dark as to the real situation re-
garding the California controversy.
During the last few weeks the
United States has officially welcomed
dozen or more Japanese visitors,
some Of whom even were here to
sound public opinion as to the anti.
alien legislation which caused the stir.
Now the Japanese government has pre-
sented the United States cruiser
Charleston with silver loving cup.
In August, 1910, there was flood
in Toxic and the officers and men Of
the Charleston and the cruisers Sara
toga and New Orleans, which were
near the stricken city, raised fund
which was sent ashore for the relief
of the sufferers.
The incident was forgotten until
Ambassador Chinda sent the cup to
the state department with request
that it be forwarded to the Charles
ton.

Shoots Wool Schedule is
Lowest Ever introduced
by a Republican.
FIGHT ON TARIFF
OPENS IN SENATE
Democratic Measure Criti-
cised and Flayed by It's
Opponents.

Washington, July 14-Senator SmoOt,
republican member of the finance COM
mittee, introduced today substitute
for the wool schedule of the Under
wood Simmons bills, proposing rates
based directly on the report of the
tariff board and adopting In each grade
the lowest rate. The schedule is lower
than that introduced last year by Sem
ator Penrose as substitute for the
Underwood bill and is the lowest of all
wool schedules ever introduced by q
republican senator.
AS substitute for free raw wool,
the Smoot schedule divides raw wool
into three grades and establishes rates
ranging from Z to 16 cents pound.
Class one wools, made dutiable at 16
cents per pound II secured and Is cents
per pound on cleaned content, II Inn
ported In the grease, include merino
wools imported usually from Buenos
Ayres, New Zealand, Egypt, Australia,
Cape Of Good Hope, Russia, Great Brit
len. Morocco, down combing wools
and Canada long wools.
Features Of Amendment.
Woods of class two, made dutiable
at IA cents per pound, il secured, and
13 cents on cleaned content in the
grease, include all hair of the camel,
goat, alpaca and Leicester, costwold,
lincolnshire and similar long combing
wools Of English blood. Wools of class
three, dutiable at cents per pound II
imported In their natural state and IA
cents II. secured, include Bonskoi, ma
tive South American, Cordova, al
paraiso. native Smyrna, Russian Cam
els hair, Bagdad. China lambs, Cast
franco. and all such woods usually Inn
ported from Turkey, Greece and other
countries. A drawback OF 80 is pro-
vided for woods Of United States manu-.
facturers, druggets, mats, floor rugs,
hassocks, art squares, ETC., which
would make carpet wool practically
free Of duty. The duty on wools or
hair on the skin would be one cent less
per pound, in every case, than on the
wool content.
Manufactured goods and woods ad-
yanced beyond the natural state, the
rates OF the Smoot bill are correspond
iDgly lower than present rates.
The schedule contains provision
that the rates on raw wool should be
effective November 1, 1915, and on
wool manufacturers January l, 1914.

Beaten Soldiers are AL
most Beyond Belief.

Saloniki, July 14.-The sacking and
burning of the town of Seres by the
defeated Bulgarian army, and the ac-
ccmpanying outrages on women and
atrocities on men, were confirmed to-
day in q dispatch from we'll known
Greek correspondent.
The retreating Bulgarian soldiers, he
telegraphs, opened cannonade with
four field guns from hill above the
town on Friday. At the same time
bands of Bulgarian soldiers, led by
their officers, secured the streets, hrst
pillaging the stores and houses, and
then drenching them with petroleum
and setting them alight until the
greater part OF the town was blazing.
The soldiers were accompanied by the
notorious revolutionary Colonel Yank-
off, who, with other former officers OF
the Bulgarian army, was very active in
Macedonia In 1903.
Consulates Burned.
Even the foreign consulates were not
spared, according to the correspond

HOLD CONFERENCE
TO STAY 4 Strike
REPRESENTATIVES, OF ROADS
AND EMPLOYEES MEET WITH
THE PRESIDENT.

New York, July l4.-Tne easterh
railroads involved in the wage con-
troversy with the trainmen and con-
ductors issued a statement this AFTER
noon through the conference COM
mittee Of managers saying they were
willing to arbitrate the questions az
issue under the provisions OF the
Newlands bill before congress, but
were still unwilling to proceed under
the Erdman act. This is the roads re-
ply to the ultimatum submitted cv
the unions yesterday.
The statement says that the CONF
mittee's policy has never changed,
that it has consistently refused ITO
be coerced through threats OF strikes
into paying railroad employees wages
out Of all proportion to the duties
performed. The managers have peen
consistent in contending that the
Erdman act does not protect the In
terests OF all parties concerned.
"Should the Newlands bill be en-
acted into law, the committee will,
of course, be willing to submit to ar
bitration by board provided in the
Newlands bill, all questions OF rates
of pay and working conditions OF
conductors and trainmen."
Hope for Settlement.
Labor leaders and railroad heads
looked toward Washington today,
hopeful of favorable outcome Of the
conference with President Wilson
through officers OF the National Civic
federation, railroad representatives
and officers of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen and the Order OF
Railway Conductors, were to seek a
solution Of the crisis involving the
demand for higher wages by 100000
men on forty-five eastern roads. The
roads having refused to arbitrate un-
der the Erdman act in its present
form, and the employees having re-
fused to modify their demands, ap.
parently the only compromise pos
sible lay in alteration of the law by
increasing the number Of arbitrators
from three to six, thus removing the
railroads chief objection to the act.
With strike authorized by an over
whelming majority and ratified by
general committees Of both unions.
Presidents Lee and Garretson OF
the trainmen and conductors respec-
lively, were authorized last night to
defer calling walk-out pending the
outcome of the Washington confer
ence.
Both left for Washington last
night.
In New York today there was to
be meeting of the managers con-
ference committee, at which yester-
days decision by the union was to
be submitted.
