METAL SCHEDULE HITS SNAG
Tariff Conferees Pass Over the Entire
Matter.

Observation-Disclosures conferees of
the senate and the house made rapid
progress on the tariff bill, approving the
earthenware and glassware schedules
with its free sugar provision and the
date for the new rates extended to March
!, 1914; the tobacco schedule, the wood
schedule and all the agricultural sched-
ules, with the exception of the proposed
banana tax and the countervailing duty
on wheat.
In the metal schedule the conferees
struck the first snag and after several
hours discussion the entire matter was
passed over to be taken up later. Ma
jority Leader Underwood and the other
house confe 'ees insisted that the senate
should recede from the action in placing
ferro manganese, pig iron, steel ingots,
slabs and blooms on the free list. They
contend that too much revenue is sacri-
feed and there is a growing opinion that
the senate conferees eventually will
agree to small revenue duties on thes'
articles.

Body Laid in State at Liverpool After
Arrival of Steamer Baltic, on
Which He Died-Great
Honor Paid.

New York.-Willism j. Gaynor, mayor
of New York, died at sea Wednesday.
Despite the fact that he had just en-
tered upon a campaign for reelection
as an independent, Mayor Gaynor found
that his physical condition demanded a
rest, SO he concluded to visit England.
Passage for himself and wife was en-
gagged on the steamer Baltic for Liver
pool. The trip was not completed, for
he became suddenly worse and expired
on Wednesday in mid-ocean. 1t is said
that his death was directly due to the
bullet fired into his neck by an assassin
three years ago as he was boarding 9
steamship.

MEXICAN REBELS
HOLD AMERICANS
INCLUDE WOMEN AND CHILDREN
EN- ROUTE TO SALTHL0.
FEDERALS ARE CLOSE BEHIND
They Fear to Endanger Americans by
Making an Attack on the Rebels,
Who Might Retaliate With
Atrocities on Prisoners.

Mexico City.-One hundred Americans
including a number of women and chill
dren. refugees from Torreon, are re-
ported to have fallen into the hands of
rebels while proceeding overland to SAL
tillo. The authorities at Saltillo decline
10 take the responsibility of sending a,
force to their rescue, fearing, they say,
that the rebels might commit atrocities
on the refugees which otherwise might
be avoided.
The report comes from an official
source at Saltillo, but has not been con-
firmed. The American embassy has been
advised and has called on the Mexican
foreign office to investigate the matter
and do whatever is possible TO relieve
the Americans should the report prove
true.
Senior Gamboa, the foreign minister,
has had no advices further than The com
I<lnication from the embassy. He eX-
pressed regret, but added that it was 10
more than might be expected as the re-
suit of the neutrality policy" If the
United States, which had h~ampered :he
administration in proceeding with a
strong hand against rebels and bandits.
Gen. Trucy Aubert, a federal COM
mander. with 1000 men, who is proceed
ing from the north to the relief of Tor
reon, passed Saltillo Saturday. He is
travelling over approximately the same
route as the Americans, and it is regard.
ed as possible that the rebels will dis
appear before his advance. He is, how
ever, making slow progress. Meantime
the fate OF the refugees remains in doubt.
The Americans are headed by Deputy
Consul-General J. c. Allen, who went to
Torreon to notify American residents
there of President Wilson's exit warning.
They left Torreon on September l, trav-
cling by the most available conveyances
across the plains in the direction of Sal
tillo, there having been no railroad com
munication for many weeks. They were
passed on the way by j. R. Everett of
Palestine, Texas, near Harra, about half
way to Saltillo, or approximately so
miles from Torreon. Everett reached
Salt,llo September 10 and reported that
the caravan was making slow Roadway,
owing to the bad roads and poor equip
ment.

"GAG LAW" CHARGES RIFE
Lindbergh Is Voted Down-Minnesotan
Tried to Make the Subscription
Ten Per Cent of the Banks
Capital.

Washington.-With well oiled legis-
iative machinery working smoothly, the
administration currency bill rolled stead
lily toward completion under detailed
consideration in the house. a chorus of
Democratic noes quickly disposed of
the numerous efforts OF Republicans and
Progre~siye> to alter the provisions Of
the measure as agreed on by the Demo
cratic caucus. Not a single material
amendment was voted into the bill.
At the close OF the day nearly hall OF
the bill had been read. At this rate the
house leaders thought they might be
able to finish this week.
The debate bristled with charges of
gag law and caucus rule from the
minority, with occasional sympathetic
replies from ne Democratic side. but
when the votes were needed the line held
firm behind Chairman Glass OF the bank
ing and currency committee. Represen-
tative Mondell OF Wyoming and Pro-
g~ressiye Leader Murdoch devoted consid-
cradle time to pleading with the Demo
WAS ~ ultdk the s4idChlfs anu utetll
the caucus pledge. Mr.. Mondell became
involved in a spirited controversy with
Representative Stanley OF Kentucky, who
had something to say about Republican
caucus action.
Representative Donovan, Democrat, OF
Connecticut, joined with Representative
Murdoch in one OF his attacks, declaring
that the leaders had abandoned the cur
rency bill to the new members OF the
house.
Not more than half a quorum is
here he shouted. They draw their pay
regularly and abandon the work attached
to their positions. This i nothing more
than stealing"
What could they do If they were
here" demanded Representative Muir
dock, the caucus has foreclosed all ac-
ton on the bin"
4 rapid fire Of amendments was dt-
rected by the minority against the sec
ton OF the bill providing that national
banks must subscribe a sum equal to ~
per cent Of their capital in the federal
reserve bank in their district. Repre-
sentative Lindebergh of Minnesota en-
deayored to make the subscription 10
per cent OF the capital and surplus and
allow the banks 100 days in which 10
pay one-half Of their subscriptions.
