ANOTHER SWITCH IN
THE TARIFF PROGRAM

Washington, d. c., June 1.-THE
much-debated agricultural schedule of
the Underwood tariff bill was sudden
ly upset again by the majority members
of the senate finance committee late
yesterday when a motion was made to
reconsider action taken earlier in the
day approving the free list of live
stock and wheat subject to a counter
vailing duty.
The proposal now is to strike out
the provision for a countervailing duty
and leave cattle, sheep and hogs and
wheat on the free list unrestricted.
Members of the committee said that
this probably would be done by the ma,
ority. No reason for the change was
announced.
For weeks the equalization of the
agricultural raw products and finished
products. which were differentiated in
the Underwood bill. has offered a prob.
lem TO the democratic senators in
which President Wilson has taken an
active interest.

KEEP CANAL RULE TILL
AFTER THE OPENING

Washington, D. C., June 17-Plans
for a permanent government on the
canal zone will not be put into effect
until the formal opening of the canal
in January, 1915, Secretary Garrison
has announced. In the meantime the
zone government will continue as
heretofore, with such notifications as
changing conditions may demand.
Secretary Garrison has conferred
frequently during the past week with
Colonel Goethals, chairman of the
Isthmian canal commission ard he has
asked the colonel TO submit from time
to time recommendations as to the or
ganization of a permanent govern
ment.
1t is practically certain that the gov.
ernment will continue to operate the
Panama railroad after the canal Is
completed, Secretary Garrison said, as
it would be necessary to have a means
for the transportation OF troops and
supplies, in the event the canal should
be out of commission at any time.
The future OF the railroad will be
considered at a meeting of the direc-
tors to be held here next Thursday.

SEEK CONTINENT
IN ARTIC CIRCLE

Victoria, B. c., June 17.-Loading of
the old whaler Karluk, which is to
carry DR.. Vilhjalmar Stefansson's ex-
ploring expedition into the Arctic, has
been completed and the Karluk sailed
from Victoria today. Nome, Alaska,
will be the Karluk's first port of call.
The Stefansson Arctic expedition,
whose expenses are paid entirely by
the Canadian government, differs from
most of the other polar undertakings
in that its objects are practical and
commercial. Its purposes are to learn
whether a polar continent exists; to
map the islands already discovered
east of the mouth of the Mackenzie
river; to make collection of the
Arctic fora and fauna; to survey the
channels among the islands in the
hope of establishing trade routes; to
make a geological survey of the is
lands, which are believed to contain
copper and other minerals, and to
study the blonde Eskimoc of Corona
ton gulf, on the maintain south oi
Victorialand.
No effort will be made to reach the
north pole; that will be left to Amund
sen, who will sail into the Arctic next
sumrer. No attempt will be made tc
bring back any Of the blonde Eskimos
or to open their country to civiliza
ton, which Stefansson says would de
stroy them. The expedition expects
to return TO Nome in September, 1915
but may be carried to Greenland
crossing the north pole on the way.

London, June 17.-An impassioned
speech in defense of outrages COM
mitted by militant suffragets was de-

Women formed the majority Of the

Miss Kenney asserted the action OF
the Ulster unionists and speeches OF
ministers, who she said had asserted
that the unfranchised were justified
in rebelling in order to get their griev

militant suffragets.
"If further justification IS neces

Exemptions in Trust ProseCu-
tion Result of Efforts of
A. F. of |.

Washington, D. c., June 17.-Sena-
tor Smith of Michigan declared before
the lobby committee today that the
clause in the sundry civil bill now
awaiting President Wilson's signature,
exempting unions and farmers or
ganizations from prosecution under
she Sherman antitrust law, represent
ed tt work of lobby. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, he declared,
had a lobby for the exemptions, al
though Samuel Gompers, the senator
said, had admitted to him that it was
class legislation, a term former Presi-
dent Taft applied in vetoing the bill
last spring.
PUT THROUGH BT LOBBY.
The very bill on the, presidents
desk this morning" he said, was put
through by the lobby iof labor organi-
nations. They know there is class
legislation in it.

of Labor has a lobby here. l don't

He added that the temperance peo
