CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL FRIEND OF BIG HATS Chicago. May 13. Illinois legisla tors, ministers and theatrical managers may "knock" the gigantic hats the women are wearing this spring, but they have a friend in the Chicago city council. The council has been touched to deeply by the way the women and their hats have been assailed that it has come to the rescue with a city ordinance making It easier for women to parade their headgear on the street. Members of the council noticed that women with tan hats were obliged to "duck" whenever they passed under an awningr. The ordinance as recommended by the judiciary committee, provides that all awnings must be hoisted to a height of eight feet six inch?3 above the sidewalk level. The ordinance also provides a fine of from $5 to $100 for. any awning owner who does not elevate his sunshade within five days after receiving notice to do so. , ,

PHILIPPINE BILL Oil TARIFF RATES PRESENTED TODAY

Chairman Payne Says Islands Are Self Supporting, But Federal Government Must Continue Support. U. S. EXPORTS ARE VALUED AT A MILLION Senate Still Wrestles With Tariff Bill and It Is Thought That Boss Aldrich Has Had A Scare. Washington, May 13. Consideration of the Philippine tariff bill began in the house this afternoon. Representa tive Payne explained the bill in detail. He said there was collected on articles exported from the United States to the Philippines last year, $lflO9fl00 and that that revenue would be cut off by this bill. At present, he said, the rev enues received by the Philippines are sufficient to pay the expenses of the islands. He said it would be impossi ble for congress to curtail the appropriation for islands, for the United States had an important work to per form in establishing an insular gov ernment that would reflect credit on this country. . Aldrich Frightened. As a result of the quiet influence of President Taft and the persistent op position of the senators from the Mis sissippi valley, Mr. Aldrich and the conservative element in the senate have been frightened into agreeing that they will make some notable con cessions in the way of tariff revision downward. This may be done possibly without the aid of the committee amendments. but the dominant element in the sensate will agree not to fight a number of propositions for a revision of some of the most objectionable duties in the downward.-; direction. Furthermore, Chairman , Payne, Speaker. Cannon. Representative ..Boutelle... and , other, who have been fighting for high duties practically have agreed to accept a number of senVe reductions. Several of. these leaders have . been to the White House of late and have left the Impression there, It is said. that the net result, after the conference has finished its work, will be to put into the bill the reductions mads both by the house and by the senate, so that the general average of the per fected bill will be much lower than than that of either house or senate. SWITCHING RATE DEMAND IS MADE Move Made Today to Spur C, C. & L. and the Pan- ' handle to Action. SHIPPERS ARE ANNOYED ALTHOUGH INTERCHANGE TRACK HAS BEEN COMPLETED FOR ' TWO MONTHS THE TWO ROADS HAVE DELAYED ACTION. Owing to the delay of higher off! cials of the Pennsylvania railroad and the C, C. & L. company in getting together and establishing a local switch ing rate between the two companies. EL M. Haas, as secretary of the Com mercial Club,' has taken the Initiative into his own hands, at the request of the manufacturers. 1 ' ? He made request of the two local freight agents today for their local switching rate.. It is believed that now a formal request has been made, the companies will not be slow In com nlvinc. as the rules of the railroad commission compel them to interchange freight. The request of Mr. Haas is not for the interchange rate, but merely for the switching rate. Great Inconvenience. . Manufacturers have requested him as secretary of the club, to -take this step because it will aid them materially. They can not now receive or ship prodace to or from points by transferring at the interchange- switch. Instead they have to ship their produce by a roundabout way. : The local freight agents will probably send the request of Mr. Haas to officials higher up. It Is believed that the information will be forthcoming and It may also serve to bring the two companies together and establish an interchange schedule. . Unless the companies give the information ; the state railroad commission will be appealed to. It can force the companies to give local switching-rate. Tt switch has been completed for more than two months said the merchants and marnifartaiers are becoming tired at the long-continued delay in the nss of the sssts,

At one of the meetlnan hald (nriiv ' one of the speakers said: "Clemenceau is an old man and must soon yield. The ministers who are all bandits must go: then the strike will be over." At the greater su of the mestlnn the speakers seemed to content them selves with hurling bard name at those In authority. . 23.000 soldiers. 8.000 police and QO tecuves. so tar today the disorder consisted la several cases of ssasalt upon postmen who refused to Join- the strikers.
