PRESIDENT IS UPHELD
Caucus Vote Was 1856 to SO in Favor
Of the Proposed Tariff Revl-
sion Without
Change.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. i
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Presi-
den. Wilson scored his first tariff
victory late this afternoon when the
house democratic caucus, by a vote of
155 to 80, adopted the tentative sugar
schedule, making that commodity
free after three years of one percent
duty.
The vote was taken after Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee
Underwood had warned the house
that the adoption of any of the many
amendments placed before it would be
a direct affront to the president, who
had specifically asked the adoption Of
the sugar tariff schedule and would
seriously imperil the passage of the
bill in the senate
THE sugar schedule in this bill
was not reported from the committee
as I personally would have reported
it, he said. 1T represents however,
the wishes of the president"
The final adoption of the sugar
schedule, which Underwood declared
meant an ultimate saving to the con-
sumer of s115,o 5,oo0,OoO yearly followed
day of stormy debate.
Representative Broussard offered
two amendments, both of which were
voted down overwhelmingly One re-
duced the duty on sugar from s1.90 a
hundred pounds, as contained in the
Payne bill, to Sill until 1916 and
S1.05 from that time to 1919, when it
was to be reduced to 1915. The other
left the duty as contemplated in the
Wilson Underwood bill. but extended
the dutiable period from three to four
years.

mann, discoverer of what he asserts
is an actual cure for tuberculosis,
here tonight. The doctor came here
from Providence much worked up
over his American experiences" He
insisted, getting off the train, that he
simply wanted to show the govern
ment officials that he was con the
level and in two speeches, one a set
address, and the other an informal

he made an appeal for fair play.

have to answer the claims Of uniform

II am willing to turn this cure over
to the United States government. But
1t must be handled by reputable ply

ultimately be the hope of an afflicted

said that while it had been widely

and that far from brilliant-as he re-
membered the long desert ride from
the distant COW camp on the Cimarron
lay in immediate departure. Every
moment Of delay served to increase
their peril. Even beyond the danger
of Dupont's report to Black Kettle,
this snow-bound valley was not SO far

This is so strange I can hardly

But, dear one, we must talk else

and every instant we waste here may
mean capture and death. Come, there

Hughes thought so. We saw their

Ten minutes later, blowing through

ly close by this time to leave no doubt
as to what they were. Hamlin eau
tiously kept back out of sight in
the breaks of the ridge, although his
keen eyes, searching the upper val
ley. discovered no sign of pursuit.
Tired as Dupont's horse undoubtedly
was, he might not yet have attained
the Indian encampment, which, in
truth. might be much farther away
than Hughes had supposed. The fact
that no spirals of smoke were visible
puzzled the Sergeant, for in that
frosty air they should naturally be
perceived for considerable distance.
Possibly, however, the bluffs were
higher and more abrupt, farther up
stream, affording better chances of
concealment. Indeed it was quite
probable that the Indians would seek
the most sheltered spot available for
their winter camp. irrespective of any
possible fear of attack. Reasonably
