President Resorting to Expedients to Assure the Downward Revision and

Also Party Harmony. TALKS WITH CAMJON ALSO WITH SHERMAN He Is Seeking to Modify Regulations of Lower Body of Congress in Order to Secure Free Hides.

. - Chicago, July 24. John Callaa tyiLaugblla says In the Tribune to President Taft is still resorting to ( Various expedients to obtain downward revision and at the same time to assure practically unanimous republican backing for the report of the conference committee on the tariff bill. The president had interviews yester- , Jday and again today with the vlcejpresldent and Speaker Cannon to see 'if the rules of the house could not be mo modified as to permit a reduction in duties on the flnised products of hides. tThis action is essential if hides are to toe transferred to the free list ' Runs Against House Rules. , In his efforts to obtain certain free Vaw materials and reductions of duties for their finished products, the president has run against the rules of . the bouse; These' provide that managers of a conference must confine themselves to differences submitted- tthem and may not Include subjects not within the disagreement, even though germane to the question in issue. This has been- interpreted as confining conferees to acepting either a bouse duty or a senate duty or a rate between; the two, if the only difference be of that rate? If ait ; entire paragraph has been rewritten by the senate, then the conferees have the right not only to change the language, but , the rate as well: - In ease of the finished products, of hides,' the ; senate made no sweeping amendments, so that conferees under bouse rules , must confine themselves to aranging an agreement between the rates fixed. If this procedure were not followed a single point of order raised in the house could cause the rejection of the conference report. 8enate Rules More Elastic. The senate rules as shown to the president today, by the vice president, are muah more elastic; They authorize the conferees to include in their report matters which are germane modifications of subjects in disagreement., Under this authority the senate -managers may change a paragraph, or a whole schedule as they see fit, and in case .of any question in the senate a majority vote will sustain their action.

Consequently so far as the senate is concerned, there was no need for an attempt to change the rules in order for the president to get what he desired. The house situation has been care fully explained to the president by the speaker, and also was discussed with the vice president. Speaker Cannon Is strongly opposed to any attempt to change the rules of his chamber. In the first place the rules were adopted at the beginning of the extra session after a bitter fight had been made upon them by the so-called insurgents. To suggest modification to the speaker was like waving a red. rag at a bull. He believes the rules are all right and should stand. ' Fears Effect of Modification. Moreover to attempt to amend the rules by a resolution authorizing the single reduction of duties on leather goods would, in the speaker's judgment, open the whole tariff bill , to amendment by the same method. Chaos, he declared, would be precipitated and no one could know when a bill would be completed and transmitted to the president for signature. It is probable consequently that the rules will not be changed. But the president's suggestion ' nevertheless, has borne fruit. A way has been found by which a duty below the lowest rates of the house bill and senate amendments on leather products can be secured without violation of parliamentary rules. This contemplates the insertion of proviso in the paragraph relating to leather and boots and " shoes under which a duty below the Dingley rate would be Imposed upon products made from hides of cattle. This proviso was discussed by the president with Senator Warren, who " has been the champion of a duty on bides, and now Is under consideration by the conferees. : It is the belief of the president that if it be adopted as be expects, one of the knottiest problems which the conference committee . ' baa had to consider will be solved. Raw Material Demand Unchanged. In spite of reports to the contrary, v , President Tarts' free .raw material pro- ' gram has not changed. At this mo ment, Washington is filled with rumt on usually generated by the numerous lobbyists of the interests, who are (Continued on Pag Eight)

Fair This Year, Which Starts

Next Tuesday, Will Be the Most Pretentious in History Of the County. , RACING EVENTS WILL - BE ESPECIALLY GOOD Other Attractions, Including Exhibits and Amusements, Will Be Better Than the Us ual Offered. Hagerstown, Ind., July 24. The race track at the Hagerstown fair grounds is now in excellent condition. and when the fair opens Tuesday, July 27. it will be found in the fast est condition. Hundreds of dollars have been paid out for the improve ment of this track and also a great amount of work, in the last twentyone years. A drainage, which circles the inside of the track a part of the way, where it was always the longest in drying after a rain, with numerous subtilings under the track, causes It to dry quickly now. There is no doubt that racing can be held now in almost any kind of weather. The track has been graded until the surface is smooth and firm, with just the prop er angle at the ofves. Many Horses Arrive. A number of horses arrived Thurs day from Ohio, while others are ex pected each day from other nearby states. Representatives of the Ha gerstown fair association were in at tendance at the races at Montpelier this week. They report that there was a finer and better line of speed horses there than had ever been on the circuit before. And what Is encouraging is that the same horses will appear here in the racing events.

Special features this year will be the high class vaudeville in front of the amphetheater each day. Music will be furnished bv the Cambridge City band. Also a new feature will be the exhibit from Purdue University. It will be in the nature of a dairy and an agricultural exhibit, and will be worth anyone's attention.

Owing to the Fact That Some

Of the Officers Hog the Quarters There Is Much Congestion There. PREDICTION IS MADE THAT SHAKEUP WEAR Some of Judges Use Rooms for Sleeping Quarters, Which Causes Criticism Division Planned. Indianapolis. July 24. A' ahakw op at the state house is about to take place, according to present twtit.t In the rearrangement of the rooms of some of the state officers. The stats house is badly crowded and there is not enough room as the matter stands at present, to accommodate all of the officers. When the stats house was built twenty years ago It was one of the marvels of the state, and everybody believed at that time that It was big enough to hold alt the offices that the state of Indiana would ever have if it lasted a million years. But the state Is not yet a million years old, and the state house Is not large enough to hold all the offices. Has Been a Mystery. It has for two or three years been a mystery why some of the officers wera allotted so much room, however, while others are kept In cramped quarters. And this is one of the situations that la about to be cleared up. For instance the Indiana railroad commission occupies five rooms, three of them being line largo ones and two small ones. Ail are on the second floor and are among the best rooms la Ifae bonding. The railroad commission is about to lose two or three of these rooi A few wees ago the supreme court decided that . the board, composed of the governor, the secretary of state and the auditor of state, not only has the authority to appoint the custodian of tiie state house and the engineer, but It also has charge of the entire building and grounds. This is taken to mean that the board has the right to assign the rooms to the various offices and departments, and the board Is shout to take up this matter. As soon as it does this the howl will go up. Dont Need Five. It is said that the railroad commls sion can get along with two rooms as well as with five. At present It has a court room, a secretary's office, a large room, for Chairman Wood, a large room for the other two commissioners and a consultation room. The board will probably also take one room from State Statistician Peets. He has two big rooms, one of which Is divided Into two rooms by a low partition, thus giving htm three rooms. The members of the board seem to be of the opinion that they can take away one room and give It to the state tax board. The room occupied by the state tax board would then be added to the office of the auditor of state, who is badly crowded In the six rooms he now occupies. The state board of charities also has three rooms and it Is believed that the board will take one away from it. It Is believed this could be done without causing any injury to the charity board business. Traveling Library. The traveling library also will bo changed Into a small room and the room it now occupies will be turned over - to the new accounting board which, temporarily is using the lobby of the house of representatives. Considerable room will be required by the accounting board. There has been for a long time comment on the fact the governor's office occupies four rooms. The goveronr's private office Is a large room that was Intended in the first place as the governor's receptloo room. Just how to rearrange things to take ears of the office force is the only thine that keeps the governor from giving up one of his rooms to make for some one else.. . Sleeping - Quarters. Another thing the state house may consider is also the fact that some of the supreme and appellate court judges have- deeping apartments In their offices. This has always been the practice, and It is said that some members of the board question; their right to live in the state house. Much comment has been heard from time to time for years that the judges ought to live down town and pay room rent like other people. : iV' ' The state board of health Is sorely in need of more room. It now exists in two little rooms and in them It does more business in a week than some other offices do In a year. MRS, AULT ILL Supt.
