Washington, September 12-Demo-
cratic conferees of the Senate and the
House made rapid progress today OH
the tariff bill approving the earthen-
ware and glassware schedules with
slight changes the sugar schedule with
its free sugar provision and the date
for the new rates extended to March
l, 1914; the tobacco schedule the wood
schedule and all the agricultural sched-
ules with the exception of the proposed
banana tax and the countervaiiing 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 conferees Insisted that the Sem
ate should recede from its action in
placing ferro manganese, pig iron, steel
insots slabs and bloom on the free
list They contend that too much rev :
enue is sacrificed and there is grow :
ing opinion that the Senate conferees
eventually will agree to small revenue
duties on these articles.
Contrary to The general expectation,
little difficulty was encountered in the
agricultural schedule. the House con-
ferees agreeing quickly to free cat
tie. However, the dispute The coun-
tervailing duty on wheat is yet TO be
settled.
As to the banana tax, it is gener-
ally known that the Presidents S wishes
should be stricken out. This would mean
a loss in revenue of approxima tely two
and half million dollars.
In all of the schedules slight changes
were made, the Senate receding from
amendments where decreases in rates
We're made. This policy. 1t is said. will
be maintained throughout the confer
ence. Mr.. Underwood insted that too
much revenue has been cut out of the
bill.
In the liquor schedule the general
rates We're approved but action on the
proposal to put the full internal rev.
enue tax on brandies used in fortify
ing sweet wines was deferred. In the
earthenware schedule the Senate re-
ceded from some of its amendments,

Hearing Next Wednesday

Wednesday next. according to Thaws
lawyers, they expect to have their hear
ing before Governor FellSer. They esti-
mate that three days will elapse before
he can render decision. If this is adj
verse they will apply at once for a writ
Of habeas corpus. Argument on this
would likely be postponed for another
week
This would mean days of weary waiting

quickly enough and with sufficient secrecy

In view Of the decision OF counsel TO
fight the ease out at Concord, Thaw was
not brought into court in Colebrook today.
II is PROBABLE that on Monday he will be
taken To the capital preparatory to the
arguments for and against surrenderinS
him to New York The chief argument
of his lawyers will be that New York
seeks his extradition ON "a charge of con-
spiracy, a charge which they contend New
York never purposes to try him on. They
will contend that extradition in such cir
cumstances is a subterfuge, and that there
are precedents to sustain them in this.

Wrote TO Underwood

In view of the fact that the deficiency
bill is stil pending in the committee on
appropriations for the Senate and will not
become law until after the available
appropriations have been exhausted. 1t is
essential that there should be placed at
the departments disposal at once, a suf-
ficient sum to enable 1t to carry OH the
work of relief and prevent the hardship
and dissatisfaction that a discontinuance
of that work would entail. Besides the
obligations resting on this government,
under existing conditions, of effecting "a
safe and speedy means by which Ameri-
cans may leave Mexico and reach their
homes in the United States, there are
political reasons which render it of the
highest importance that the work which
is being carried there should not be
brought to sudden stop.
The resolution passed unanimously, with
the understanding that If further funds
were needed the 100000 appropriation in
the urgent deficiency bill for the same
purpose would be allowed to stand
Secretary Bryan said that since the
first of this year the state department
had spent $52,7SS.29 in aiding American
citizens to get out of Mexico.

Not an EPIDEMIC

San Francisco, September 12.-"There
is no epidemic of bubonic plague at
Martinez" said Dr. J. ID. Long today.
'"The death there was purely sporadic
We had another case like it this year
In San Benito county, where a Jap
anese woman, strawberry picker, died
Ever since bubonic plague first
gained foothold on this continent it
has continued prevalent among rats
and ground squirrels. The laborers at
Martinez and the Japanese strawberry
picker in San Benito We're working in
neighbornoods known to be infected
with diseased squirrels. No doubt they
became infected themselves from work
ing in ground infected by squirrels
THE campaign of exterminating the
squirrels is tremendous task and the
$4,000 additional appropriation from
Washington | understand has been
made as result of the increased
popular interest in our task
The appropriation was asked for
long before the MARTINEZ case was dis
covered"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-13
Campaign Against Squirrels

The plague made its first appear
ance in San Francisco prior to the
earthquake and fire. 1t was stamped
out after many months by the federal
health authorities. who subjected the
Chinatown and slums district of San
Francisco to a thorough cleaning up.
1t having developed that rats were
the principal medium of the contagious
spread the government first turned it's
attention to ridding this city of the
rodent and then began a systematic
campaign against the rats country
cousin, the common ground squirrel
which was found to be infected In por-
tions of the state. This warfare has
never been abatcd in the districts where
plague had made its appearance among
the squirrels. Hundreds of thousands
of the little animals have been slain.
Bubonic plague has never obtained a
real foothold in this country. according
to the government experts. and is never
likely to- owing to tho difference be-
tween the American mode of living and
conditions in Oriental countries. whence
it comes All Of the cases reported on
this coast have been among Orientals,
or directly traceable to contact with
them.

What Caused Decentralization

Henry J. Horn, general manager or
cered that engineers make time. Time
must he made the order read. If an en-
glneer was a minute late he was lacked
up. The first time his engine ran by
a signal not clear the engineer was sum-
marily dismissed. The ambition was to
make a record of trains on time over any
railroad in tine country. Orders put out
in the autumn of 1911 made New Haven
travel unsafe and demoralized the esprit
de corps
New England discussed with interest to-
day a speech made by Governor Foss of
Massachusetts, at Worcester during the
night in which he attacked the railroad
situation vigorously
THE bankers and trunk lines that con-
troi the New England systems. he said,
are today interlocked and in that inter-
locking there is no voice of New England
The Puio committee at Washington has
shown clearly that the financial interests
in New York city are the central money
power of this country
.These banks dominate the transporta-
tion system of all New England l don't
know of any section OF the United States
where their preponderance is so strongly
or unitedly interlocked.

Attacks Labor Unions

"On the other hand, the engineer of the
locomotive should owe his allegiance to
the corporation and the corporation should
protect him and the safeguards placed
around him. But today, does the engineer
in New England recognize any allegiance
superior TO that of his labor union?
Railroad men will tell you he does
not. The reason is perfectly patent. 1t
is his union that has multiplied his wages
five fold beyond what the engineer on
the European train doing the same work,
receives as compensation.
1.-The engineers of New England, SUBJ
stantially all of whom are enrolled in one
labor union are able at any time to
threaten a strike and paralyze the indus
tries of New England in day If their
demands are not complied with What can
the railroad officials do? Yield to every
demand of the engineers and deny most
of the demands of unorganized labor at
the foot of the ladder is the problem
II denounce alike the foreign control
of the New England corporation and the
foreign control of the labor that captains
the iron horses at the head of every pas
senger train in New England

Congressman JacOway Would Spend ? Millions to Build Lock and Dam system to Tulsa,

Washington, May 23.-Congress- man H. NJ. Jacoway of the Fifth Arkansas district will shortly in- troduce a bill appropriating S25,- 100000 for he building of a lock and dam sy,.em on the Arkansas river, in oIj. to insure al-the- year-round navigation of the river as far north a, Tulsa, Ok. Mr. Jacoway ha, the backing of Sena- tor James ?. Clarke of Arkansas, chairman ot the Senate committee on commerce, which corresponds to the river and harbors committee of the House
 In commenting upon this bill to- day, Mr. JacoWay said: We can hope to accomplish nothing with out the combined cooperation of both the people of Arkansas and Oklahoma, and with that end in view I thinh it would be slightly advisable that the cities and towns bordering the river should con- tribute their pro rata share an nually for the maintenance of an office in Washington, with a ca pablo man in charge at a good sal ary to keep the question constantly before members of Congress. With cooperation. the ultimate improve ment of the Arkansas river is cer- tain and the advantage to be de- rived from cheap water freight rates in Arkansas and Oklahoma alone should prove a profitable in- vestment if man were kept in Washington to keep Congress ad- vised of the needs of the riverr
