LENROOT BLOCKS FINAL
 VOTE ON TARIFF IN SENATE

Washington, Aug. 3.-Upsetting plans of republican and democratic leaders for final vote on the administration tariff bill on August IT, Senator Lem root, republican. Wisconsin, gave notice today in the senate that there would be no unanimous consent agreement for final vote, at least until all important committee ame2dnents to the measure had been discussed and acted upon. The Wisconsin senator said he was anxious to limit debate and proposed an arrange ment under which, beginning today dis cussion would have been confined ex- clusively to the tariff with each senator limited to ten minutes. debate on amendments after August Il. Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, the republican leader, objected to this, however.
 The democratic proposal for a final vote on August 19, and the republican counter-proposition for a vote on Au- gust IF, led to a long discussion. In the midst of the debate, Senator Good ing, Idaho, chairman of the republican agricultural-tariff blocl fnt,oduceG his resolution directing a. special committee of five senators to inquire into and re- port to the senae on:
 "The financial i.<erests og senat3rs in the wool and sheep industries;

Munsey in European industries which compete with American industries the amount and percentage of his income derived from advertisements placed in his newspapers by the importing depart ment stores which have financed a cam paign of defamation against the pending tariff bill and which will profit by the defeate of the bill;
 "The number of senators owning or controlling or financially interested in newspapers the amount of revenue ob- tained by these newspapers from import ing department stores. which will bene- fit financially by the defeat of the pend ing tariff bill;
 ''The financial interests of all members of the senate, or their immediate rel atives in any American industry or in any community in the United States which may be affected directly or indi- | rectly either by the passage or defeat of any proposed schedule in the pending tar 1 if bill"
 l The preamble of the resolution recited i that charges had been made by the New York Herald. owned by MT. Malnsey.
