for Vote
On Tariff Doomed.
Leaders Declare
Senate Plan Is to Turn to
Appropriation Measures
Monday; Filibuster Open
ly Charged by Ashurst

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Considera-
.tion of the Fordney emergency tariff
bill was delayed in the Senate again
to-day and new rocks appeared in it's
path. With filbustering openly charged,
leaders of both sides declared that the
chances of the measure coming to
vote in this session were gradually
growing less. Another session of varied
discussion is scheduled for tomorrow,
but it is planned now to turn to the big
appropriation bills when the Senate
convenes Monday. Once the tariff leg
islation is displaced, advocates of the
bill admit it will be difficult to get it
up for consideration again.
The consideration given the tariff at
to-day's session consisted of speech
by Senator King, Democrat, Utah, on
Russian trade, which occupied almost
the entire afternoon and contained only
occasional references to tariff matters
and brief exchanges concerning the
meaning of Senator Penrose's cloture
petition which was circulated yester-
day.
The open charge Of flibustering was
made by Senator Ashurst, Democrat,
of Arizona, following a colloquy be-
tween Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Colorado, and Senator Penrose relative
to "insinuations" of filibuster The
Pennsylvania Senator assured Mr..
Thomas that he had not intended by
circulating his petition to insinuate
that f1libuster had been organized.
Senator King then began the speech
on Russian trade, but was interrupted d
by Senator McCumber, Republican, of
North Dakota, who suggested that the

MRS. McINDOE
LAID TO REST
OLDER CITIZENS MOURN
DEATH OF SETTLER
OF 1859

/ Apparently in excellent health. the
/ death of Mrs. Kate l.. McIndoe. widow
of the late Hugh McIndoe, at her horne
/ in Ri nelander on Saturday night
March IS, 1921, proved severe shock
10 relatives and friends of this pioneer
mother, whose name and that of her
husband, through all the latter part
of the nineteenth century was so
closely allied with the life of Wausau.
The death of Mrs. McIndoe occurred
after only several days of illness I'M
expectedly, although injuries sustained
during the winter months perhaps
made impossible her recovery.
Mrs. Kate l.. McIndoe was born on
Film Spring Farm, ST. Louis county,
Mo-, on April Is, 1871. In 1859 she
was united in marriage with the late
Hugh McIndoe and together they mi
grated to Wisconsin, locating in this
city. Until 1892 the family in which
there were six sons, one of whom
has passed away, resided in Wausau
then moving to Rhinelander. AL
though devoting time and taking an
interest in civic and social circles.
Mrs. McIndoe always gave the major
portion of her time to her family. The
old MeIndoe homestead was located
at the corner of Scott and Main streets,
where the Anderes Apis. now stand
and next door Walter d. McIndoe re-
sided. Hugh McIndoe passed away IN
1881. Mrs. McIndoe was a member of
the Episcopal church at. Rhinelander.
Episcopal Services
The Rev. Father Campbell Gray,
rector of st. Augustine's Episcopal
church at Rhinelander conducted ser
vices at the home of Mrs. McIndoc in
Rhinelander on Wednesday morning,
at 900, after which the body was
brought 'tQWausau and taken directly
from the train at 2:30 p. m. to Pine
Grove cemetery. Interment took place
after brief Episcopal services conduc-
ted by the Rev. FIR. Gray.
The deceased is survived by five
sons, Walter d. McIndoe. Dr..T B. Nc
Indoe and DR.. c. S. McIndoe, all of
Rhinelander, Hugh McIndoe of Joplin,
Mo-, and DR.. j. A. McIndoe of Milwau-
kee, and one sister, Mrs. Charlton of
Rhinelander. Attending the funeral
yesterday were all of the sons, Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis Hildebrand of Rhine

PRESBYTERIAN LADIES
HEAR MRS. MCCONNELL
SPEAK ON CHINA

Many ladies availed themselves OF
the opportunity to listen 10 Mrs. Nc
Connell in an informal talk on Life
in Foochow. China" at the meeting OF
the Ladies Aid society of the First
Presbyterian church Wednesday at 3
p NJ.
AS she told of the work of the mis-
sionaries. dating from 1910 to the es-
\ Enlistment of Y. NJ c. A. work in
1900 and Y. w. G. A. in 1915, one was
able to partially realize the disadvan-
tages under which the wonderful work
is accomplished The city of Foochow
/ built three miles from the river and
/ is walled city which excludes for
elgners as residents. The foreigners
were given choice of location outside
he city and took hilly island which
later proved to be most desirable
and valuable choice. Being so far
above the low section the sanitary
conditions are far superior to those
in the walled city

and several colleges. 1t is only thru
education that conditions can be i'm.
proved in various ways. The home
life of the missionary is open to the
closest scrutiny. as this is the entering
wedge with which to reich the Chi
neSe.
Mrs. Mcconnell gave graphic pic
lures of the bridal and funeral Gus
tom, the social customs and amuse-
ments. The mode of travel is by
rickshaw mostly as there is only one
road three miles long wide enough
for motoring. The whole country is
handicapped in its relief fer the strick-
en- famine district in the north be-
cause of the impossibility of trans
portating the supplies to the needy
people.
1t is only since relief has been given
by foreigners tat it has been borne in
upon thesswealthy Chinese that they
have any responsibility in assisting
thir suering countrymen. The idea of
humanitarianism is utterly foreign to
the average Chinaman and only by
example and precept can this be cul-
tivated. Many sidelights on Chinese
were given which were intensely inter-
esting and instructive. II
The presence of the little son and
daughter were an added delight to the
fine talk of Mrs. Mcconnell who has
spent seven years of her life working
side by side with her husband in an
effort to improve the conditions of
this needy people.
At the close of this part of the
meeting devotionals were given. by
Mrs. F. P. Stone and short business
session with election of aofficers for
the coming year concluded the after
Moons work. Officers elected were:
President-Mrs. A. w. Prehn.
