ONE TRICK ADAY
Dropping n Coin Through Hat

A derby hat is placed brim up wards, on the mouth of tumbler and three half dollars. which have been borrowed from the audience, thrown into it. One of the coins is seen and heard to fal through the crown of the hat into the tumbler beneath. The secret Is this:
 AS you place the hat on your glass, secretly slip half dollar of your own between the rim of the glass ard the hat. Now, when the three heavy coins are thrown rather for cibly into the hat the secret halt dollar win be dislodgcd and fall clinking into the glass
 Of course, it is then necessary to get rid of the three coins in the hat so that the Illusion may not be de stroyed by the appearance of the extra coin.

WILL PASS IN I
THREE WEEKS
Leaders of All Factions Predict
Measure Will Go Through
-. Soon.
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
International News Service.

The McCumber protective tariff
bill, destined as the principal issue
in the November elections, will be
passed by the Senate within three
weeks, 1t was declared today by
leaders of all factions.
The combined efforts of Republican,
and Democratic leaders. however, to
adopt an agreement for passage Of
the bill August II faced defeat at the
hands Of insurgents. led by Senator
Lenroot CRepublican) Of Wisconsin.
Final enactment of the measure with
in three weeks will be accomplished,
leaders said, with or without the
agreement.
Hopes of the party leaders for an
agreement on a final vote faded when
Lenroot announced he would again
object to any proposal fixing defi.'
mite date for the final vote. He pro-
posed an agreement of his own which
would provide cloture on tariff de,,
bate, thus guaranteeing passage OF
| the bill within the next three weeks,
Senator McCumber Republican) Of
North Dakota, author Of the bill, and.
Senator Simmons Democrat) of North
Carolina, minority tariff leader. were
in hearty accord on fixing August IL
for the final vote. Unanimous con,
sent agreement proposals made by
the two Senators were synonymous;
Simmons having accepted changes
made by McCumber in his original
proposal. Both articles limited each
Senator to one hours debate prior to
August IL on a list of priority"
schedules and to fifteen minutes de
bate on each amendment and the bill
itself thereafter until IL o'clock on
August II, when the final voting
would start.
