as follows:
"On Saturday We called attention TO

Proposed Schedules Are Expect
ed to Yield Approximately
100000, 900 a Year.
is SUBJECT TO CHANGE
In the Rush to Get Measure to House
the Committee Had No Time to
Submit Report and Few
Items May Be Altered.

Washington - The administration
permanent tariff bill was introduced in
the House of Representatives and for
the first time was made public.
No explanatory statements accom-
panied the introduction Of the measure
as heretofore has been customary, and
no official estimate was made bf the
revenue it is expected to return.
Unofficial estimates by members of
the Ways and Means committee, how
ever, placed the expected return as
high as $7O0,000,0OO a year. The
Payne-Aldrich law in the normal pre-
war years produced little more than
$500 100000 a year.
Differs from Payne Law.
>. Examination of the bill, which covers
346 printed pages, shows that in some
cases the rates proposed are higher
than corresponding rates of the Payne
Aldrich law. while others are corre-
spondingly lower.
An estimate of how the whole bill
compares with the Payne-Aldrich law
would only be possible by tariff experts
making detailed study, because the
schedules Of the new bill are in many
cases not framed in parallel with the
schedules Of the Payne law, but are diff
ferently constructed.
In comparison with the Underwood
tariff law Of the Wilson administration,
the new bill removes many articles
from the free list, although 1t leaves
large list free Of duty, including print
/, paper, wood pulp, leather and harness
and agricultural implements.
| Comparison Of the wool schedules
with schedule K of the Payne-Aldrich
bill, over which bitter fight was
waged in Congress, showed material re.
ductions in number Of instances.
1t raises the duties on the great bulk
Of imports already being taxed. It has
made no notable additions to the free
list.
II Subject to Change.
In the rush to get the bill to the
House the committee had no time to
submit a report, but it is subject to
change, it was said, by Republican
caucus. Only few changes were
made at the meeting Wednesday, the
most important being turn about on
the question Of oil. After voting down
last week a proposal to tax crude pc
-troleum, the committee, at the eleventh
hour, put tax of IS cents barrel or
crude and Is cents barrel on fuel oil
The lumber schedule, as originally
drawn, was cut to pieces by the com
mittee, which finally needed the ap
peal Of Republicans to have finished
lumber kept on the free list Shingles
however, were taxed in the lumber
schedule, but many other items were
not.

OIL FARLEY A FAILURE
Diplomatic Efforts Over Diambi
Fields In Air.
Retalia.ory Measures Believed Only
Course Open for. United States To
Now Follow.

Neutrality-suspicious. over the
right Of American companies to enter
the Djambi oil field in Sumatra have
reached the point where it would be
necessary for the United States to en-
force the retaliatory provisions which
were mentioned in the note Of Charles
Evans Hughes to the Netherlands gov
eminent.
The Dutch reply it was learned, and
the apparent sentiment in parliament
to stand by the measure barring for
eign capital, have convinced officials
of this government that the point
which they have been seeking to make
cannot be gained automatically.
Little hope is placed here in the
theory advanced in Holland that in the
development Of other Americans will
be given consideration, as it believed
that the Djambi field is the only one
which can be counted upon for suffi.
cient oil to make. exploitation on a
large scale profitable.
Inquiry is being made by the. gov
eminent now, i. is understood, as to
what action may be taken under the
provision Of the general land leasing
bill to retaliate against Dutch capital.
Broadly the bill provides that the
right of development and exploitation
may be denied to nationals of countries
whose home government denies similar
rights to Americans.
It is not deemed possible that the
measure can be made retroactive, az
this would place the United States in
the same. position relatively which II
now is fighting in Mexico.
No reply has beea sent to the latest
Dutch note, and it is not anticipated
that one will be until the State depart
ment is able to state with positiveness
what its position will be in the future
toward Dutch capital.

THREE COUNTIES HIT, BY
TORNADO
Heaviest Loss Suffered by Crops
Several Injured, None
Killed

Oekes, N. D., July Additional
returns from Dickey, Ransom and
Sargent counties, swept by tornado
late Saturday, show that considerable
damage was done. Many barns, silos
and outbuildings were blown down in
the storm which lasted 20 minutes. ;,
Several are reported injured. Be-
cause of interrupted wire service, de-
tails of the storm are slow in ar
irving.
The towns of Guelph, Ludden and
Cakes suffered most severely in Dick
ey county. Many barns were leveled
and wires torn down. Cakes has
been in darkness through leveling of
the power wires and the necessity Of
shutting out the current to avoid dan
ger. Nearly all poles were carried
away in the vicinity of this city and
the fronts of number of business
houses blown in. The houses were
soaked by the rain, which poured in
through gaps caused by the wind.
In Ransom county, the county seat,
Lisbon and Elliott, the next station
west on the Northern Pacific railway,
were hard hit. Farm buildings and
trees in the vicinity of both places
were blown down or uprooted.
In the territory affected boxcars Of
the Northern Pacific and 500 Line were
blown off sidetracks onto the main
lines, carried some distance and
wrecked. In some instances the run
away cars travelled through three and
four stations at a great speed. The
tracks were cleared and service re-
.sumed yesterday.

Willis Campbell Measure Passed
by Vote Of ESQ to SO, After
Stormy Arguments.
BILL SENT TO SENATE
Representative Hill, Mass, Accuses
AntI-saIoon League Attorney Of
Drafting Bill; Charge Throws
House Into Disorder.

Z. Washington-By vote of $50 to %
the house passed the Willis-Campbell
bill to prevent the sale Of beer to the
sick and sent it to the Senate with ex.
pectations of its final enactment be-
fore the end Of the week.
The vote, which was twenty-one
more than the necessary two-thirds,
was taken after four hours of stormy
debate, interrupted frequently with
shouts of stop the talk and pass the
bill.
Wheeler Is AssaiIed.
In closing debate for the opponents
Representative Hill, Republican Of
Maryland, threw the House into con-
siderable disorder by charging that
Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel for
the Antt-saloon league, had drafted the
bill. Pointing to the league lawyer in
the gallery and calling him by name,
Mr.. Hill brought wild shout from the
prohibition element, some of whom
stood until quiet was restored.
There was another dry outburst a
moment later when Representative
Foster, Republican of Ohio, declared
there was no truth in the statement
about Wheeler's part in the prepare
ton of the measure.
Representative Cooper, Republican
Of Ohio, formerly railroad engineer,
took issue with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor in standing for light beer
and wines, declaring it had no right
to make the organization speak on
moral questions. He insisted that the
federation "did not express the senti-
ment Of the working men,"
Representative Cochran, Democrat
Of New York, declared prohibition or
any other law could not be enforced
when public sentiment is against it.
Advocating strict enforcement Of
prohibition, Representative Burton, Re-
publican of Ohio, declared "that 1t
must be conceded that the eighteenth
amendment imposes more drastic regu-
!ations on the people than any other
amendment"
