SIX MONTHS OF
NEW TARIFF ACT
BY ASsOCIATED PREss

Washington, April 3.--The Under
wood Simmons tariff act went into
effect six months ago today and present
indications are that 1t will not reduce
customs revenue any more than was
estimated in congress at the time Of
Passage.
According to the treasury's March
statement, customs revenues amounted
to about $26, 000 900. which is about
$1,5O0.0o0 less than the Payne Aidrich
law produced in March, 1913. That
was a marked increase over February
when revenues fell over $4,000, 900
compared to the same month or 1913
The average decrease in customs
revenue for the six months the Tn
derwood Simmons act has been in OPP
Grafton is placed at about $4,000, 900
but officials were confident today that
would be reduced Ia the coming six
months. The annual reduction was
estimated at about $45.000.0o0 ayear.
Despite reports OF an unexpected
failure Of income tax returns TO pro-
vide the revenue necessary to offset
the difference in customs, officiaIs were
inclined today to believe that the gov
ernment would find its original ex
peetations realized

roof. But the roar OF cannon was al
most continuous.
Both sides used armored trains.
These, with big guns mounted. would
suddenly appear around an elbow of
one of the hills, discharge a broad
side and then retire. Early in the at
tack on Gomez Palacio the trains
ventured out at the same time and
a lively exchange Of shots ensued, like
a naval engagement on land. The
Federals made use Of huge rockets
which were shot to a great height, ex-
ploding in the air and precipitating a
hail of buckshot.
On the fourth day of the fight the
intense suffering from heat and thirst
was relieved by a rain, thought to
have been brought on by the heavy
firing.
During the battle, scouts brought
word that Federal reinforcements
from Monterey were approaching on
the east. General Herrera was sent
against them and later reported that
he had sent them scurrying into the
hills. The battle surged first into
Torreon, then back to the railroad
yards and rayines in the suburbs for
two or three days. The Federals grew
weaker each day in their fighting. FL.
nally the Federalss evacuated to the
south and the Rebels took possession
of Torreon.
