so SAYS LEADER UNDERWOOD IN OPENING DEBATE ON CON.
 FERENCE MEASURE.
HITCH IS ON FUTURES TAX
Southern Members Prepare for Big Debate on Cotton Provision in Measure-Expected to Reach
 Vote in House Today.

Washington, Oct. 1-"The rates of the tariff bill as it comes back to the house for approval propose a lower taxation than any tariff bill in the last three-quarters of century" said Representative Underwood, Demo- cratic leader of the house, in the opening speech in support of the con- ference report on the tariff bill.
 "The bill as it is now before the house is lower in it's rates than either the bill that passed the house or the bill that passed the senate.
 This tariff bill, with it's 26 per cent average, is almost as low as the fa- nous Walker tariff, which had low duties on liquor and tobacco. This bill places many of the necessities of life on the free list, or gives them very low rates of tariff"
 Underwood was primed with infor- nation to support the agreements reached in conference, material changes in the tariff rate as original ly determined upon by that body.
 Under agreements, it is expected that the vote on the adoption of the conference report would be reached today.
 The disagreement between the sen ate and house over the cotton futures tax will then be taken up and the house will decide whether it shall fn hn 1o rly Af the senate, or instruct it's conferees to stand for the proposed Smith-Lever compromise.
 Under the agreement for debate on the conference report itself, Repre- sentative Underwood, Democrat, was

VOICE GIVES MURDER CLEW
SUSPECT IN TANGO TEACHER KILLING SPOKE WITH DRAWL.
Jealousy Is Believed Cause of Staying Second Husband of Victim
 Exonerated by Coroner.

Chicago, Oct. IA dozen Chicago detectives working with Dupage coun- ty authorities are continuing the search for a short, thick-set man with drawling voice, believed to be the mysterious Spencer" who is sus- pected of having lured Mrs Mildred Allson-Rexroat, Chicago tango in- structor, to a lonely ravine near Wayne, H., Friday night, murdering her.
 Jealousy is thought to have been a possible motive. The police theory is that Spencer" learning of Mrs. Ali son-Rexroat's friendship for other men, quarreled with her, shot her and then placed her body upon the railroad track.
 Everett Rexroat, the second hus- band of the murdered woman, for whom a warrant was issued Sunday afternoon, has returned to his home in Macomb, III. Sheriff Kuhn de- clared that testimony taken at the latest session of the inquest at West Chicago practically cleared the young farmer of all suspicion.

BROKER TESTIFIES GOVERNOR HAD LONG TRADED IN
 STOCKS TO HIS LOSS.
OWED FIRM LARGE AMOUNT
Paid Great Part of Debt After Being Elected Executive, Testimony ShoWs-Member of Staff Took
 Over Demoralized Account.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 1.-The stock speculative margin account of Gov. Sulzer, carried with the firm of Har- ris & Fuller from March IS, 1910, down to June 15, 1913, was exploited | at great length before the latest ses- sion of the impeachment court. With Melville B. Fuller on the stand, the attorneys for the impeachment man. agers presented a bewildering set of | figures showing that the governor, as speculatOr, was extremely unfortu- | nate. His purchase of securities of pressing manner, and invariably the stock tumbled in value.
 A goodly portion of Fuller's testi- mony covered the periods prior to | Sulzer assuming the governorship. The committee emphasized, through the witness and it's counsel, the fact that for years the governor had spec | ulated. This was inserted to offset any claim to be made by the governor or his witness that his speculation was entirely in the nature of invest ment buying.
 Sulzer's original purchase of Big
 Four stock, made in March, 1910, showed a drop of IT points share by the end of that year. In fact, the account became so bad, from the Sul- ger standpoint, that he was compelled to withdraw 200 shares of Big Four ! and substitute therefor 200 of Ameri- can Shelter to prevent his securities being sold because of lack of margin.
 Owed Broker $4s,55e.3s.
 On Jan. 1, 1912, Sulzer, then member of congress. owed the Harris X Fuller firm $4S,559.3S and on that date was carrying on their books 500 shares of Big Four, 200 of American Shelters and 100 of Southern Pacific.
 Out of the maze of figures 1t was developed for the record that after being elected governor Sulzer paid to the firm 1000 The first payment came on Nov. Is, 1912, right after election, and consisted of $10,0OO in cash. But even these payments did not help. because the securities con- tinued to crumble in value. In June, 1913. according to the witness, the SulZer account was in bad way. The governor had failed to respond to calls for additional margins. June 10, 1913, Lieutenant Commander Louis M. Josephthal of Gov. Sulzer's staff, himself broker, took over the ac- count, paying $26,799.21 to Harris x Fuller and receiving the securities that were then on deposit
 Attorneys Stanchfield and Bracket said that they hoped to be able to complete their side of the case by to- day. When told this, Marshall and Herrick of the governors legal staff said they would not require more than four or five days to put in their defense.

notroit. Oct. 1.-Urging support of ,ha "business roads" as opposed to tho socalled touring roads" United State Representative Dorsey w. cbocke,rord. chairman of the house committee on roads, in an address be- fore the American Road congress, ad- mitted he was mot in harmony with ,he dominant spirit" of the congress. He urged for business roads," which, he said aimed for cheaper transpor- tation and lower cost of living"
 aThe touring roads class" de- clared Representative Shackelford, demands that the United States shall limit its road activities to the con struction and maintenance of a few 'ocean.teoeean' and across-country' highways of great perfection and then leave the rest of the people to build their own roads or do without thenf as they choose.
 "The business roads class believes that in dealing with roads we must keep in mind easy communication be- tween the farmers and the towns and the railway stations, so the farmer may market his crops at less expense and the town dweller may get farm products more easily and at less cost.
 The touring roads class desires to get away as far as possible from local control To accomplish this a bill is now pending in congress which provides that a new office shall be created-that of public highway com mssioner-who shall keep his office at Washington, where he may not be influenced, nor even impressed by the yearnings of the people among whom

MISSOURI PACIFIC GAINS
REGENT EARNINGS CHANGE SYS TEM'S DEFICIT TO SURPLUS.
Indebtedness to Gould Family Wloed Out, Partly by Transfer of Iron
 Mountain Stock at High Figure.

New York, Oct 1.-The Missouri Pacific system has cleared itself of indebtedness to the Gould family for the first time in years. Four years ago the Missouri Pacific carried among it's liabilities loans payable amounting to $14,417, ,OOO. Today the figure is nominal. With the exception of current obligations incidental to the operation of the property, the system now carries no floating debt
 When Speyer X Go. and their friends became interested in the Mis- souri Pacifics they urged that the large floating debt to the Gould es- tate ought to be reduced, as this debt hurt the roads credit and made it more difficult to provide more capital
 The Bush management has brought the earnings of the Missouri Pacific up to the record-breaking figures of S62 .0O0.0 900. has transformed a deficit of more than $5,OO0,000 in 1911 and of nearly $2.000,0O0 in 1912 to surplus of more than $1,500,000 for 1913, and has cleared up the floating debt. The Iron Mountain owed the Missouri Pa cific four years ago SS,554,0 900. This item is now below $2,500,000.
 Part of the indebtedness to the Gould estate was wiped out by sale of a block of the Iron Mountain to the Goulds at 90 and interest,
