ON THE LAST LAP
The Tariff Bill Is Expected to
Pass Today.
Senate Meets for Final Debate
on the Measure.
VOTE BEFORE ADJOURNMENT
Is the Plan of Majority Leader
Underwood.
LaFOllette Opens Up With a
Four Hours Speech.
VOTE BEFORE ADJOURNMENT

Washington, Sept. S.-The Democrat
ic tariff bill introduced by Majority
Leader Underwood five months ago
and passed by the house four months
ago may pass the senate before ad-
journment tonight. When the measure
was called up early today by Chairman
Simmons of the finance committee it
was the intention to hold the senate in
session until a vote was reached. Lead
ers of both sides agreed that the bill
surely would be reported back to the
house some time tomorrow. In confer
ence the measure is expected to be
debated less than two weeks.
After some preliminary discussion to-
day Senator La Toilette took the floor
for his first general discussion of the
bill, having deferred his amendments
to the wool and cotton schedules until
the climax of the debate. He expected
to talk about four hours.
Senator Dillingham'S amendment to
turn back each states income tax for
good roads, with the provision that each
state appropriate a like amount, was
lost. Foreign books were returned to
the free list as originally provided by
the house. Senator Smoot moved to
reduce the duty on cut. but not set,
diamonds, pearls and other precious
stones from 20 per cent to 10 per cent.
He said he would not object to the
high duty were it possible TO collect it
and prevent smuggling.
An Exhibit of Pearls.
The senator held in his hand eight
pearls, which he said cost $7S,0U0.
Il move the senator pass them
around said Senator Reed. The
amendment was lost.
Senator Norris, Republican Progress
sive, called up his tax amendment pro-
posing a tax on inheritanceS gradua-
ted from 1 per cent on $4,000 up to 75
per cent on bequests exceeding $50, ,O00,-
900. He said it was designed to break
up immense fortunes.
Senator Clapp, Progressive Republic
can, said he would support the amend
ment although he believed the time had
come when the government should go
further and not allow people of great
does not belong to them from the peo-
pie"
Senator Norris took the case of
Vincent Astor to illustrate the effect
of his amendment. The younger Astor,
he said, did nothing to accumulate the
fortune of $S0,000.OOO he received from
his father. Under this proposed
" said Senator Norris, "the
tax Vincent Astor would pay to the
government would be $43, ,799, ,5OO He
would then have more than $36, 900, 900
tipped into his lap. a fortune made
by millions of people of the United
States, a fortune for the accumula-
ton of which he did not sweat drop,
a fortune accumulated without an ef-
fort of his hand or brain. Such a tax
would not be robbing Mr.. Astor."

his life saved from a mob that threat
ened lynching by the strategy of Sher-
iff Mahoney.
When the mob began to gather at the
scene of the murder, Sheriff Mahoney
and a deputy rushed to the Jail, trun-
died the prisoner into an automobile
and started north toward Perry, close
ly followed by the mob. Near Mulhall
the gasoline in the car began to run
low and Sheriff Mahoney, leaving his
deputy to proceed with the car as a
blind, plunged into the woods with his
handcuffed prisoner just before the
leaders of the mob rushed by.
After walking a mile through the
brush, Sheriff Mahoney tagged a
freight train and landed Lewis safely
in Jail here early today.
Meanwhile dispatches from Guthrie
told of the streets being filed with
armed men waiting for the mob leaders
to return with Lewis. A mass meet
ing was held in Guthrie and a fund was
raised for the use of the families of

AN EMBROIDERED "A"
The Only Clue to the Murder of a
Young Woman.

New York. Sept. S.-An embroidered
letter "A' begun with a flourish and
finished with uncertain hand, gave de-
teCtiveS today their first tangible clue
in the mystery surrounding the finding
of the mutilated body of a girl on the
bank of the Hudson river. Through
this handworked letter, which adorned
the corner of the stained pillow slip
containing the lower part of the body
found yesterday, detectives hope to es-
tabish the young woman's identity, al
though her head, arms and legs had
not yet been found.
1t is believed the river still holds
these members and that the crime was
committed in New York by a person
or persons versed in surgery. A pro-
bable motive for the crime is found
with the discovery that the young wo-
man was to have become a mother
within a few months. A rambling let
ter sent unsigned to the Hoboken
morgue where the body is lying, is also
being investigated. In this letter the
writer bewails the disappearance of
Ella and names an East side physi-
clan.

State taxes will probably be in-

statement made today by Governor
Hodges in discussing the states
financial condition and prospect that
it may be necessary to stamp state
warrants mot paid for want of
funds" Governor Hodges blames the
Stubbs administration for the financial
embarrassment which the Democrats
are compelled to face this year.
In all probability, Governor Hodges
declared, he would urge an increase
in the state tax levy next year in
order that enough money may be pro-
vided in 1915 to enable the state in
future years to refrain from the old
practice of drawing on the new taxes
to meet the states old debts. Under
the present outlook. it will be neces-
sary to use about 100000 of the
1913 taxes to pay the states, 1912
bills. In December, 1912, under the
Stubbs administration, the state audi
tor derw on the county treasurers for
10 per cent of the new taxes, or

UNDER RED CROSS
Army Transport Hauls Down
Stars and Stripes.
While on a Rescue Voyage to
Mexican Ports.

San Francisco Sept. S.-The army
transport Buford will sail late today to
gather UP Americans in peril on the
west coast of Mexico. The vessel will
be in charge of Charles Jenkinson, spe-
ciaI representative of the state depart
ment. 1t will fly the Red Cross flag,
as it is believed the ship will be better
able to perform it's relief work under
that banner, owing to the present tenn
per of Mexicans than under the Amer
lean flag.
The Buford it is thought will bring
back between 500 and ], 900 Americans
who desire to leave Mexico and prob
ably a second trip will have to be made
to accommodate all who wish to get
away.
Jenkinson arrived from Washington
last Friday and has been busy with the
task of loading the Buford with medi-
cines and stores and of arranging for
the embarking of hospital men and
nurses and soldier guards. The trip is
expected to last from four to six weeks.
The first stop will be made at Man
zanillo, Sept. Is.

kinson today. Major William F. Lew

tive of the state department, 1 am also
a special American representative of

For several years Jenkinson was in
Mexico attached to the American en-
bassy. He has recently made two
trips to Mexico to bring back refugees,
landing one party in Galveston and an
other in New York.
President Wilson. he said, intends
that all Americans shall leave Mexico,

do but to provide transportation for
them to their homes in the states.
