TARIFF EXPECTED
 ID BRING REVENUE
TREASURY OFFICIALS ARE HOPE FUL FOR AN INCREASE UNI
 DER ITS PROVISIONS.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Treasury ol- iicials tonight expressed the belief that the Underwood-Simmo tariff act will produce several million dol lars more revenue annually than had been estimated by tariff experts The treasury expected revenues to fall off about S4,000,000 year, but reports for the first two months have led to the belief that this estimate is ex- Cessive.
 Officials predicted the falling off would not amount to more than $36,- GOO, ,O00 a year. which would give the government $9,00C,000 more than was counted upon for 1914. Customs rev enues fell off more than $4000, ,090 during November, but for December figures just out SHOW the decrease under December 1912, was only about $2,700,OO0
 The total treasury disbursements for December amounted to s61 ,894,- O49. compared with $S2,69S,2 for De cember 1912. but the total excess of disbursements over receipts in De cember was nearly $2,00O,0OO greater than in November

RAIL WAY LANDS IN
 LEGAL CONTROVERSY
SEVERAL MILLION ACRES OF LOUISIANA LANDS INVOLVED
 IN RELIEF BILL.

{ Washington. Jan, 3.-Several mil- lion dollars worth of timber land in Louisiana is said to be involved in the bill of Representative Aswell for re- lief of settlers within the limits os the grant to the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg railroad on which Chairman Ferris, of the house committee on public lands, today ar ranged hearings tG begin January 2S. The sawmil interests to which the railroad has sold much of the lands, and the railroad and the settlers will be represented at the eharings ! The grant 10 the railroad was made in 1871 to aid in it's construction from New Orleans 70 Shreveport In 1881 the company conveyed all it's rights under the grant to the New Orleans Pacific Railway Company and six 1 years later congress declared a for 1 ieiture Of the grant east and west of l the Mississippi river and between New Orleans and White Castle, and confirmed the remainder of the grant Many settlers lived on the grant with out proving mp their rights to the land, not realizing the legal point in- voved
 The Aswell bill is to remove limita- tions on those settlers who now are 1 held to be deba~red from asserting any rights as against patented lands.
 r. directs that all courts give full force and effect to the terms and pre- visions of the law of 1887 which was intended 10 protect the rights of the settlers
 The bill provides that no plea of in- nocent purchasers set up by any grantee of the railroad shall be sus- ;ained except on behalf of one hold ing in good faith by conveyance under patent from the railroad and actually residing upon the land.
 A. A. Jones. a first assistant sec retary of the interior, had advised the public land committee that he is in hearty sympathy with the main pur- pose of the bi'l to afford bona fide settlers and their heirs teh full meas ure of protection originally designed by the law of 1887 but suggested that the bill be amended so as to remove any question of attemptine to destroy any rights now fully vested

Wilson and his partner-5ust what the
difference in headline honors is be-

only the most expert vaudevillian can

because his was the only act of the two

AT THEA TIERS THIS WEEK
POLI'S.

After nineteen years absence The
Heart of Maryland returned to the
stage where it was first produced. and
in two performances yesterday by the
Poll Players showed it has lost none
of its thrills. When David Belasco
started out on his career he took no
chances with the ecCentricities of play
wrights He determined to furnish all
the current for the identification him
self and having a fairly accurate esti-
mate of his own capacity as producer
he wrote The Heart of Maryland" so
the public could be apprised of the fact.
Overlooking the fact that Belasco
hasn't written any more plays to
speak of, since his first effort. 1t might
be recorded that the world was not
long in arriving at Mr.. Belascos own
estimate of his producing ability and
acclaimed him accordingly.
Most people here know that The
Heart of Maryland' was first produced
on the same stage that saw its produc-
ton again yesterday. stage Director
Harry Andrews. of the Poll Players,
resembles Mr.. Belasco slightly in looks.
and those who have seen both produc-
tions are of the opinion he resembles
Mr. BelasCo somewhat in producing
ability also. with just enough of the
Andrews sticking out in his effort TO
make his work original and in no sense
an imitation
From this 1t might be gathered that
the Poll production of the Belasco play
is quite pleasing affair. The infer
ence is correct The old play with its
war theme and its border State legale is
particularly appealing to Washington
people. and was we'll patronized yester-
day.
