TO DEADLOCK OVER REVISING OF TARIFF

House Democrats Say Tariff Must Be Revised Schedule by Schedule. THE SENATE DISAGREES Would . End Extra Session With Reciprocity Settlement An Ultimatum. . BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington, June 24. A deadlock between the House and Senate over the legislative program seems inevitable, according to the latest ultimatum Issued bv ReDreaentatlve Underwood. the Democratic floor leader of the House and chairman of its ways and means committee. The House Democrats have announced their intention to proceed with a revision of the tariff schedule by schedule. There is no indication whatever that the Senate proposes to conttlder any legislation except the Canadian-reciprocity agreement, to approve which Congress was called In extra session by the President. During the debate on the wool bill in the House, Representative Underwood pressed by the questions of Representative Moore of Pennsylvania, a Re publican, announced that the demo crats proposed to proceed with heir program and that if the Senate failed to pass the measures put up to it by the Democratic House that the Dem crats would take the Issue directly to the people. Democrats Determined. Representative Underwood plainly Indicated that the Democrats do not propose to stop their tariff revision program after the passage of the wool bill. He told the Pennsylvania Republican that the Democratic attitude was well understood, stating: " e have announced that we Intend to revise the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill from top to bottom. The only one to stop us is the Republican Senate and a Republican President. If we are stopped by them, we will take the Issue direct to the country, and we will count upon it for vindication of our position." Representative Moore declared that the industries of the country would be aiarmcd by the underwood announce ment. Representative Underwood could not see it that way. . The announcement of Mr. Underwood, however, regardless of any partisan qualities. Is significant in this respect: It indicates that the House and the Senate are destined to a serious disagreement bofore the end of the extra session. The legislative line up is at present as follows: The House has passed Canadian reciprocity by an overwhelming ma jority. The Senate is expected to pass ino Din, and It is believed that the Root amendment, which embarrasses the bill, will be defeated, President Tart having said that any amendment to the treaty will invalidate it. House Expects Clash. The House has also passed fho Farmers' Free List bill. It is not helleved that the Senate reeulars will permit this measuro to get beyond me senate committee on finance, and the first clash between the Democratic House and the Republican Senate ...It a .a win occur tnero. The House is now considering and will undoubtedly pass, the Underwnd bill which reduces the tariff on the woolen schedule of the Payne tariff act. The Democratic measure nlaeea an ad valorem duty of only 20 per cent on raw wool and leaves an average duty of 42.55 per cent on manufactured woolens. It is also expected that the Senate will chloroform this measuro as soon at it reaches the finance committee, as the present intention of the Senate is to keep the Payne-Aldrich bill inviolate so far as the present extra session is concerned. Tho House has passed the bill providing for the direct election of senators by vote of the people. The Senate has added the Bristow amendment which reserves to the Federal government the right to supervise the time, manner and place of holding senatorial elections. This amendment is particularly obnoxious to southern members of Coneresa are confronted with the negro problem in ineir section of the country. It is not believed that tho House will ever approve the Bristow amendment, which still further strengthens the belief that there will be a deadlock between the two houses of Congress before the end of the extra session. Aa to Cotton Revision. The House committee on wars and means is now at work on a revision of the cotton schedule. The Senate is Just as bitterly opposed to a revision of the cotton 'schedule as it is to tinkering with the woolen schedule. Representative Underwood has served notice that the Democratic House will not be content with a mere postponement of action on these matters by the Senate. The Democrats of the House, even if they keep Congress In session until next December are determined that the Senate shall take some definite action upon all these matters. "The bills must either be defeated or they must be buried in committee' rooms, and the Senate must clearly state that they do not propose to take up the measures we send over to them." said Representative Underwood. "If the Senate refuses to act upon these measures, the country will know where to place the responsibility for the lack of remedial legislation. The House will continue to send these bUla over to tha Sana until the up

per body shows that it will either pass or defeat them, or until It signifies that they will be buried in committee." Repudiated Payne Bill. The House leaders declare that the Payne tariff bill has been repudiated by the country in the November elections, and that it is encumbent upon the majority in the House to take up the bill schedule by schedule and to revise the bill as rapidly as possible. Democrats declare that they will do their best to carry out their platform promises. If their efforts are blocked by a deadlock, owing to the inactivity of the Republican Senate, the House leaders believe that they will have ample Justification to go before the country in 1912 with the claim that they have done their best. Owing to Mr. Underwood's latest announcement there is little hope in the House or the Senate that Congress can be adjourned within the next sixty days, and it is possible that the extra session may extend into September while the Senate and House wrangle over a revision of the tariff

ACTED AS A CORPSE To Save Women from Shock, Did a Chicago Swimmer. Chicago. June 24. U. Rubin became a "corpse" for a few minutes to prevent shocking five women picnickers, and in consequence gave the women the. fright of their lives. Rubin, a second-hand dealer, living at 1644 Maple avenue, found himself in Evanston, where it was the hottest. Strolling near the lake, Rubin decided a dip in the lake would be the right thing to escape the sun's rays. Just as he was besporting himself in the cooling waves five women appeared at the edge of the beach. They had picnic baskets with them, and from their preparations Rubin, in the water, decided they were in for an all day stay. "If I come out this way to get my clothes," thought Rubin, "I'll shock them. It's nice here and I'll stay here in the shallow water for an hour or so and then maybe they'll go away." . But the waves failed to cover up the reeling Rubin, and a shriek arose from the picnic party. "There's a dead man in the water," and five merry-makers departed in moro haste than dignity to find a policeman. When the policeman did come he found Rubin still in the water. . "I'm not dead," he said, "and I won't come out. I kept quiet for a while so I wouldn't shock the women, now I'm going to stay In. They can do what they please. The water's fine." The five picnickers, watching from behind a tree, departed after the policeman had rescued their lunch baskets and left Rubin to his lake enjoyment. FREAKS OF NATURE Two Queer Rock Formations on tho Island of St. Helena. There are at least two queer freaks of nature on the island of St. Helena or, rather, four, for one of them is a group of three figures known the world over as the "Devil's Nose" and "Lot and nis Daughters." Any one who is able to study the island as it is and not rnn wild oyer the Napoleonic legends which have clustered about that "seabound rock" since the days when the "Little Corporal" was housed there in his living grave will find much that will repay for investigation, time and study. The queerest of the natural formations are the oddities above alluded to. The first of these imitative forms is a rocky promontory which has been known by names which signify Old Nick's nasal projection since May 22, 1502, when Juan Castella and his men sighted the island just in time to see the devil disappear beneath the waves in the best harbor, leaving his nose as a reminder of what might happen should the venturesome Spaniard seek to take possession of his Satanic majesty's favorite haunts. "Lot and His Daughters" are three conical rocks which can only be conjured into representing n man and two women by a strong play of the imagination According to the views of some writers they are weather worn statues of colossal size, probably the work of some aborigines of the island. Their gigantic size, however, would seem to preclude this idea. When or by whom they were dubbed "Lot and His Daughters" no authority has ventured to sayThere are five hundred American women in Europe who left their native land as the brides of so-called noblemen. Out of these two hundred have beenu divorced or are separated from their husbands.

HOOSIER SOUS ATE OF THE FATTED CALF Prodigals of Chicago Feasted on Indiana Soil Standpatters Met. Indianapolis, June 24. A band of masked and bearded bandits, flourishing guns and rattling spurs as they clicked their heels, halted an automobile bearing George Ade, John T. McCutcheon and Ed M. Holloway, as it nosed its way through a ravine just beyond the barn gate at the farm of Louis F. Smith, northeast of Indianapolis Saturday. The three Hoosier celebrities were yanked unceremoniously out of their seats, told if they spoke they would be perforated with bullets, and were

t bound up with ropes. Then they were tied to a tree from the top limbs of ? . i . i i m: M , wmcn nung xoe iigure oi a. iiiuu, imly dressed his neck in a noose. The untimely crime emanated from a deep laid, plot is the theory of most of the 500 members of the Indiana Societly of Chicago, who also wended their way. through the Smith farm Saturday to the- scene of the great home-coming festivities. It is believed that some of the men high up among the stay-at-homea are responsible for the deed and the names of Louis Smith, the host, and "Pete". Willis are being implicated. . . "On Banks of the Wabash" Standing on the banks of Fall creek, which wends its way through Eatoon Place, the Hoosier exiles and the Indiana Stay-at-Homes heard the strains of "On the Bank of the Wabash" and saw a battle royal between painted Indians with feathers in their beair and cunning in their hearts Saturday afternoon. ' The program o events arranged by Richard Leiber's stunts committee was given between showers and the visits of the men to the "emergency hospital." Two or three physicians gave each applicant for admission to the hospital a thorough examination before entering. The examination consisted of testing the pulse and anewers to the question, "Are you wet or dry?" The "emergency hospital" was the idea of Louis F. Smith, who took great pride in its liberal patronage. A shooting gallary was patronized by former Vice President Fairbanks and other young men. James M. Studebaker, former governor Durbin, P. O'Brien of South Bend and W. L. Taylor liked the oldfashioned country fiddlers best. Mr. Studebaker confessed that his feet just couldn't keep still. Lineup for Ball Game Charles A. Bookwaiter had difficulty signing up recruits for the ' baseball game between the Prodigal Sons and tho Ultimate Consumers. The former mayor of Indianapolis and George Ade, the Hoosier author and manager of the Prodigal Sons, worked hard to complete a lineup by 3 p. m., when the game was scheduled. The obstacle race, which required a hasty mount of a hurdle and a rail fence and the exit to the goal through a barrel open at both ends, was postponed two or three times, but assurances finally were given that the event would take place. The needle and thread contest was pulled off by couples, a man and a woman, who were required to run fifty yards, seat themselves on chairs and she to light a cigaret in his mouth, while he threaded a needle. The acQuatic spoils were the first events of the day. Immediately after Mr. Smith's guests .had a look at the fatted calf which was inclosed in a temporary wire fence, there were boat races, swimming races and a battle royal engaged in by Indianapolis athletes engaged by Mr. Smith. The acquatic sports closed with a boxing contest on greased poles suspended above the water. Two boys in bathing suits were pitted against each other. Holds Standpat Conference. V There were refreshment tents, a merry-go-round and several hundred acres fringed with summer's green, flags displayed in profusion, puffing automobiles and music in abundance, all for the pleasure of the Hoosier exiles and the Indiana stay-at-homes. While the sports were in progress, James Eli Watson, once "whip," George B. Lockwood and Richard Schaf, calling themselves the "regular wing" of the Republican party, held a conference in a secluded spot beneath a large green tree. They said they were waiting for the arrival of Capt. Bumbaugh's balloon, which, since it did not arrive, was likened to the "regular wing." Formosa's demand for opium paste has grown with the general rise in wages. MR. JOHN B. DOUGAN MRS. RUSH D. MILLER MR. JOHN F.MILLER

SEEK BETTER HARBOR Brownsville Is Interested in Deep Waterways. (National News Association) Brownsville. Tex., June 24. That the city of Brownsville is interested in deep water at the Gulf is emphasized by the organization of a deep water association at that town recently. Brownsville harks back to the old days when there was deep water at Point Isabel and that old coast town was a famous i hipping pomt. Few towns on the coast know the value of water navigation w well as Brownsville. There was a time when steamboats plied the Rio Grande and made this city the extreme southern point of Texas quite a port of enry. But the glory of the old time has departed and up to four years ago Brownsville depended almost entirely on overland shipment. . But having known the value of water transportation in the earlier days,, and in line with that movemen now .on for deep water at so many places along the Texas . coast, the citizens of this town are determined to be heard - in their effort for a ehippihg point at old point Isabel. 1 The inter-coastal canal, -too, which promises so much when completed, is receiving attention at Brownsville and this town is uniting its efforts with that of other coast towns o secure one of the most profitable waterways of the country. Numerous bays which indent the Texas coast make the intercoastal canal building a most practicable undertaking, at a trifling cost, too, when compared with the vast advantages such a waterway will give.

ARMY AIR CRAFTS DREW ATTENTION (National News Association) , San Antonio, Tex., June 24. Since the maneuver division has been quartered at Fort Sam Houston near this city, no branch of the army has done more to center attention upon the mobilization here than the flying machine section of the signal corps. Every demand made by the commanding officer of this branch of the service was promptly met and executed. If the army has accomplished nothing more, the demonstration of the air men has been well worth the cost of the mobilization. , - PREVENT GIVING POISON FORMULAS (National News Association) San Antonio, Tex., June 24. The State Pharmaceutical association in session at Dallos took some advanced ground when a resolution was adopted urging newspapers of this state not to print sensational descriptions of the poisons used by suicides. The association believes, so it declares, that many morbid people have been taught all the details of self-destruction by newspapers giving graphic accounts of suicides by the use of various poisons. ALMOST FAMISHED ON GREAT SALT LAKE (National News Association) Salt Lake, Utah, June 24. After searching great Salt Lake for 36 hours for eight persons who got caught on the lake in a storm Thursday afternoon and who were thought . to be drowned, rescue boats found the entire party on a- small island this morning nearly famished for water and starving for food. The party reported a hard fight in the storm and would not have survived but for the nearness of the island when the storm came up.
