FREE WOOL IN
NEW TARIFF BILL
President Wilson and House
Committee Agree.
Position Of Senate Leaders Doubt
ful-Win Cause Loss Of $780,
OO0, 900 in Revenue.

Washington, D. C.-Removal of all
tariff from raw wool has been agreed
upon between President Wilson and
members of the house committee on
ways and means as the result Of con-
ferences that ended Thursday.
The present plan, which will have
the unanimous Endorsement of the
Democratic members of the commit
tee, provides that wool shall be placed
on the free list, an end for which the
free wool Democrats Of the house have
fought for two years.
The concession to President Wilson
and the free wool advocates takes the
place OF the Is per cent duty which
the committee had agreed upon. This,
in turn, was reduction from the 20
per cent duty Of the Democratic WOOL
en- revision bill which passed the house
last summer, but failed to become a
law. The free wool agreement, it is
asserted by Democrats, is expected to
bring Secretary of State Bryan into
full accord with the tariff revision
program.
The free wool members have ex-
pressed their attitude before President
Wilson in conferences in which Rep
resentatives Harrison, of New York,
and Rainey, of Illinois, both members
of the ways and means committee,
have been the leading figures. Rep
resentative Harrison, backed by Mr..
Bryan, made an ardent fight in the
last congress to secure Endorsement of
the free wool policy.
The reception that may be given the
free wool plan by the senate leaders
still is matter of conjecture. Presi-
dent Wilson is to meet Senator Sim
mons, chairman Of the finance commit
tee, and Senators Hoke Smith and
Stone soon, and it is expected that the
attitude of the senate then will be
made clear.
Under the existing law, wool carries
duty of approximately IL cents a
pound, or about 60 per cent when fig
ured on the ad valorem basis. It is
estimated that the abolition of the
duty will cause loss Of approximate
ly $50, 000,0 900 to the present govern
ment revenues.

they CLEAN as If they were silver
spears, each tipped with a golden star.
IN some of the Oriental cities hun
dreds OF these graceful minarets rise
into the bluest of skies, a constant
delight to the artists and architects
eyes. Constantinople has over a thou
sand, which add UNNECESSARILY to the
fascination and beauty of that city.
"Come to Prayer"
Each minaret is circled by two or
three little balconies, finely carved or
chiseled. and from one of these. Ave
times day the muezzin or Mohamme-
dan caller to prayer, chants out the
sacred formula of Islam, which Is
heard all through Turkey, India, Egypt
and in parts of Macedonia: God is
great-there is but one God-Moham-
med is his prophet-Prayer is better
than sleep-Come to prayer" To-
ward each Of the four points of the
compass is the call uttered. The Sc
linn mosque minarets are 80 tall that
the two hundred marble steps to be
highest balcony are but a third Of
the distance to the top.
Another prominent feature in Adria-
nople streets, as in every Moslem city,
is the ever-present fountain, in thou
sand forms of utility. grace and beau
ty. These abundant water supplies
abound for two reasons, first, because
no good Mohammedan ever uses liquor
in any form, and second. five times at
least each day. before he can offer
his prayer to Allah, must his hands be
clean. And SO it comes, usually by
private benefaction, that almost every
street corner. and always every
mosque, has its fountain for refresh
ment and cleansing. While some are
simple, of gray stone or dull brick
many are more pretentious, made OF
beautifully carved marble, sometimes
gilded, or decorated with mosaic,
which holds its soft colorings for many
years through sun and rain. Fine
lattice work, almost lace-like in its
delicate tracery, is often found on
fountains near large and important
mosques.
Travellers and missionaries tell OF
a quaint and odd festival in Adrain-
ople which, beginning on the third Of
May each year, lasts three days, gen.
eral merrymaking being the rule with
all classes. One of the chief features
of the holiday seems to be the pur-
chase of a new pair of shoes for ev-
eryone, old or young. rich or poor.
AS one approaches the city. a
strange and, to American eyes. an unu-
sual sight is seen in the outskirts.
Storks, with their long red legs and
yellow bills are everywhere abundant
during the spring and summer. Con-
fdent Of protection they perch on
housetop, chimney, old wall about the
city. trees and even fountains and
mosques. They nest in July and as
soon as the young birds can fly in the
early fall. they migrate to Africa. and
their annual flights are of interest to
tohse who have seen them many
times.
Centuries ago Adrianople was a
strongly fortified city, with a great
stone wall surrounding and protecting
It. In the battles which have waged
to and fro around and over the city.
in the intervening years. the wall has
been destroyed, and now only ruins
can be found, but they plainly tell the
long, historic story In. their gray and
hottarod confusion.
