With Wild WEST SHOW
Famous Old Plainsman. with l0l
Ranch Performers. Thrills Big
Washington Audience.

The Buffalo Bill-101 Ranch Wild West
snow opened yesterday afternoon at the
circus grounds at Fifteenth and H
streets northeast with a performance that
caused the thousands of spectators be-
meath the big top to stamp the exhibit
ton as the best ever"
A realistic raid by Mexican bandits on
an American town, exhibitions by United
States cavalry and artillery, thrilling
stunts by cowboys and cowgtrls the
pursuit Of an old stage coach by Indians,
exhibitions Of Cossack riding, Jap tricks
and Arab tumbling were only a few Of
the features.
The limitations of the old days on the
western plains grew a bit too realistic
when a horse slipped and fell. pinning
Its cowgirl rider to the ground. The
horse scrambled to his feet but the girl
clung to the bride and was dragged a
short distance. She was carried to the
dressing rooms by two cowboys.
The spectators breathed a sigh of re-
lief and applauded when it was an
nounced that the fair rider had not been
seriously injured Later she reappeared
on her horse
An interesting spectacle was seen when
the United States artillerymen raised a
large American flag, and salutes doomed
from two pieces of field artillery. The
vast thronG in the stands rose to its feet
and hats were removed to Old Glory
Col. William F. Cody. Buffalo Bill"
probably the most famous plainsman liv-
Ing, was greeted with cheers. Col Cody
appeared almost as young as when he
made his first appearance here many
years ago.
The performance of the afternoon was
repeated at night and two more per-
formances will be given today, the first at
o'clock in the afternoon and the other
at o'clock at night

Lusitania Memorial Wreath
To Be Lowered Into Potomac
Impressive Ceremony Will Be Staged This After
noon Aboard Steamer Charles Manchester.
Exercises for Maine Victims at Arlington.

An echo of the Lusitania disaster will
resound through Washington this after
noon when a huge floral wreath, with
the name of the Inflated liner inscribed
upon 1t, will be lowered into the Potomac
in memory of the 100 souls who went
to death when the ship sank.
The ceremony, which will be staged
from the deck of the Charles Macalester

be one of the most impressive Memorial
Day events in the United States. Among
those who will take part in the lowering
of the massive floral tribute will be Mrs.
w. J. Weiss, president of the Legion of
Loyal Women and vice president of the
Clara Barton Memorial Association.
AS the steamer pulls out into the middle
of the channel from its dock at the
Seventh street wharves and turns its nose
down stream the wreath, five feet in
diameter, will be lowered slowly to the
su/ice of the water with the single
word-Lusitania-star as silent
memory at the crowds gathered on the
dock
When the wreath touches the surface
the ribbons upon which It was lowered
will be released and the tribute, which
has been made on cork frame, will float
down the river Mrs. John A. Logan was
to have taken part in the ceremony, but
will be unable to attend because Of a re-

BILL TO PROVIDE
FOR TARIFF body
Revenue Measure Also Will
Include Protective Duties
for Dyestuf Industry.

An agreement TO include in the forth
coming revenue bill a provision for the
creation of a tariff commission. protec-
tive duties for the dyestuff industry and
anti-dumping and unfair competition pro-
visions was reached yesterday at con-
ference Of the Democratic members Of the
Ways and Means Committee Of the
House. The meeting was the first to be
held to draft the administration measure
to be reported after the national con-
ventions.
The provisions agreed upon yesterday
constitute the steps by which the Demo-
cratic leaders hope to win over to the
support of the revenue bill many Repuo-
lican votes Majority Leader Kitchin
went so far yesterday as to characterize
the proposed measure as nonpartisan and
to express the hope that a majority CT
the Republican members OF the House
will vote for it.
According to the general revenue policy
agreed upon, the additional income is 20 De
raised by an increase of the surtax upon
incomes, an Inheritance tax and a tax
upon war munitions. The details of these
provisions have not yet been worked out

porated in the bill is that proposed By

for the creation Of United States Tariff
Commission Of six members to be appoint

consent of the Senate, not more than
three Of whom shall be members Of the
same political party.
REPRESENTATIVE Kitchin, chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee, issued
the following statement yesterday:
There will be Incorporated in the gen.
eral revenue bill ample provision for the
encouragement of the dyestuff industry
the committee believing that the produc-
ton of dyestuff stands solitary and alone
in its relations to the tariff. Before the
European war Germany controlled the
whole production. We produced here less
than 20 per cent. Not only the United
States, but the whole world was depend
ent upon Germany for its dyestrffs. The
action Of the committee will make 1t pos
sible that within the next five years
American dyestuff manufacturers will
produce at least 65 per cent of the domes-
tic consumption, and this will make not
only dyestuff manufacturers but the in
dustries using dyestuffs independent OF
the German monopoly.
