TARIFFS FREE LIST
INCLUDES SKELETONS
Poker Chips Reduced From,
so to 90 Per Cent.

WAsHrNGToN. June 30.--The man who
has no skeleton in his closet and who
might want one will find by turning TO
paragraph 1851 Of the new tariff bill
introduced yesterday that he may get it
abroad without paying duty. In putting
skeletons on the free list the Ways anl
Means Committee had in mind also
other anatomical specimens.
Turning from the grave to the gay
other folk interested in the bill will find
that the tariff on poker chips has been
reduced 10 per cent. The Underwood
bill fixed the rate at so per cent, as
against 40 In the Fordney measure. The
old Payne-Aldrich bill had poker chips
on the free list.

Regardless of what may be done with
the treaty Of Versailles. one or the tirst
steps following the signing of the peace
resolution will be the negotiation OF
treaties Of amity and commerce with
Germany and Austria. This was OF
ficially stated to-day. Arrangements
are already under way for negotiation
of such treaties. They are the usual
arrangements entered into between
countries at peace with each other.

There probably will be no haste in ap-

now represented in Germany by Loring

Many Members BewiIdered.

The new bill Is such maze of legis-
lation that many members are plainly
bewildered as to its effect. Even nem-
bers OF the committee seem to have diff
ficulty in explaining some of the pro-
visions. Mr.. Fordncy planned to issue
a statement to-day giving general re-
sumo of the bill. but postponed it until
tomorrow.
He stated however. that the average
ad valorem rate of the bill, including the
free list. will be between IS and 20 per
cent. as compared with 1855 per cent
under the Payne-Aldrich law and six
under the present Underwood law.
Much doubt exists as to Just what ef-
feet the American valuation system will
have on the general level of tariff
duties. Mr. Garner claims 1t will in
crease them greatly. but no one is GER
tain as TO what the increase will be.
Mr.. Garner said:
1T Is suggested by those who advo-
cate the passage OF the proposed tariff
bill that IL will bring into the United
States Treasury s600.o00.000 to $780,
100000. II this statement is true II
means an additional cost to the con-
suners OF this nation OF at least 2,000,-
100000. and II will be observed that the
larger portion of this burden will fall
upon tho actual necessities OF life. That
means that every man. woman and child
In the United States during the life OF
this measure will be compelled to con-
tribute to the beneficiaries OF those rates

highest since civn war.

The rates in this bill when consid-
cred In the light OF American valuation
are much higher than In any tariff bill
passed by Congress since the civil war.
Under the economic policy OF this bill
exports will be very materially restrict-
ed for the reason that we cannot export
unless we import. There Is no possible
way by which the foreigner can pur-
chaea our surplus goods except 20 send
us his goods In exchange for ours. He
has no gold. he has no credit. he can
not pay In service since our own ships
will take our goods TO such foreign mar
kets as we can find and bring TO US
such goods as this bill will permit to
enter our ports. which will hs much
less than the Republicans OF the Ways
and Means Committee estimate.

Extensive preparations are being made for the second city-wide Baptist revival, which will be held April 24 through May 8. For several weeks the local steering committee, of which Dr. F. H. Harrington is chairman, has been at work completing details. More than 65 out-of-town evangelists and singers comprising the home mis- sion board evangelistic staff of the Southern Baptist convention will be brought here to conduct meetings in the 30 Baptist churches in, the Bir- mingham district.
 Dr. F. H. Harrington, chairman of the steering committee, is superintendent Of city missions for the denomination, which position he has held for the past IS months. During the time he has been in Birmingham rapid strides have been made by the Baptist denomination. At the suggestion of Dr. Farrington, an ex- tensive building campaign has been un- dertaken by several churches.
 REVIVAL CAMPAIGN
 Together with the visiting board and local ministers and workers, approxi- mately 100 Baptist leaders will partici- pate directly in the revival campaign, which will extend from East Lake to Bessemer. In addition to Dr. Earring ton, the other members Of the steering committee are Dr. J. R. Hobbs, the Rev. J. T. McNew. the Rev. D. M. Gardner, the Rev. W, F. Reeves, the Rev. E. F. Oliver and the Rev. w. F. Price.
 The first city-wide revival held in Br- ningham was conducted along the same lines as the one to be held this year and was a great success. AS q result or thlS revival campaign there were 1,722 addi- tions to the Baptist churches in Bir- mingham alone, as we'll as many add1- tions to churches of other denominations, and conversions that did not lead to church membership. All previous records in the south in the number of new mem berships as a result of one revival were broken by the meeting last year, and Baptist leaders feel confident that there will be even a larger number this year
 EVANGELISTIC STAFF
 The best preachers selected from 7e states in the Southern Baptist conven' tion compose the evangelistic staff and the singers chosen have taken part 1T evangelist work for many years.
 An intensive publicity campaign will be put on by the steering committee. tort, thousand circulars will be mailed out 10000 book marks will be distributed ane the same number of doorknob cards vii be placed throughout the city, signs will be suspended across the streets II the business district, one being placed 1T practically every block, and the neWspa' pers will be used more extensively ts advertise the meetings than ever before

 During the past week I have had at least dozen people condoning with the club on the discontinuance of the Sunday service" said MT. Dobbins "How any one could have got the impression that the service was to be discontinued if they read the ystory that was given out from this office is more than I can under stand.
