STILL GREATER ERUPTION
FORECASTED FOR TAAL
MANILA. Feb. 1.-Fkther Algue. the
I astronomer tn charge of the observatory
here, says that the eruptions of Mount
Taal are not diminished and that there is
a strong possibility of a still greater out-
I; « 4 break. The observatory has recorded a
Jv ‘ total of 70S shocks up to noon today.
* There has been increased seismic activity
during the last 34 hours. There is no
5 reason, however, to fear that Manila is
1 endangered. The activity of the vol
cano has raised the temperature to a
highly uncomfortable degree for a radius
of W miles.
Military and civil reports today con
s firm the estimate of 400 deaths from the
rtpearthquake and eruptions. All the bodies
j taken from the ruins were buried yester-
L day. Thee* include 60 at Lemoy.
FUiptnos persistently report that M
5 additional were smothered on the volcano
island This is doubtful and cannot be

DEMOCfIKTS SPLIT OVER
WIFE COMMISSION BILL
Division Showed That Party
Would Not Follow Clark
Without Caucus
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-The Demo
crats of the house divided last night on
the bill to create a tariff commission.
Thirty-three members of the’ minority
followed Champ Clark and Oscar Under
wood, leaders in voting with the Repub
licans for the measure. Ninety-one
Democrats, led by Btirton Harrison and
Congressman Hardwick, voted against
the bhl, which was finally passed by a
vote of 196 to. 93.
Congressmen Brantley and Howard
were the only Georgians to vote for
the commission. The others stood pat in
opposition to the board. Mr.- Brantley
delivered a strong and forceful argument
in advocacy of the measure, and his
speech was answered by Congressman
Hardwick.
The significance in last night's divi
sion amongst the Democrats lies in the
fact that Champ Clark and Oscar Un
derwoodr leaders, were made to under
stand that the party will not follow their
lead in all matters, unless the question
has first been submitted to caucus.
In this instance, Clark, Underwood and
other Democrats on the ways and means
committee agreed to the tariff commis
sion bill without having consulted any
of the rank and file. They expected the
other Democrats of the house to follow
their lead, and in. this they were mis
taken.
In his speech Mr. Brantley declared
that he was too good a Democrat and
too loyal to fear the logic or shun infor
mation bearing on the tariff. He be
lieved that a tariff commission would be
useful in this respect, and that much
good would result from its investigations
of the schedules. Mr. Hardwick provok
ed laughter by declaring that it was
easy to understand why the Republicans
are so anxious to take the tariff out of
politics, since the tariff had taken so
many of them out of politics. He did
not believe it good Dembcratlc politics
to help the Republicans pull their chest
nuts out of the fire. The tariff beat
the Republican party last November,
and it would beat it agMn in 1912, un
less the Democrats help them out of
the hole. •
Referring to Mr. Brantley’s speech, Mr.
Hardwick agreed that he wa# too good
a Democrat and too good a lawer not
to examine the source from which comes
the proposition to get mofe light on
the tariff. He. discounted the Idea of
getting information for the Democrats
about the tariff from a board to be ap
pointed by a Republican president, es
pecially in view of the fact that the
president himself had declared the
Payne-Aldrich bill the best tariff legis
lation ever enacted by an American con-
difference between the Democrats
was entirely honest,and there Is no feel
ing as a result of last night’s The
Democrats who voted for tha bill con
cede that the 91 who opposed it were
within their rights, and those who op
posed it entertain the same attitude to
ward Messrs. Clark, Underwood, Brant
ley, Howard and others.

LOWER BERTH DEMAND
HAS NOT FALLEN OFF
CHICAGO, Feb. I.—The reduction in
upper berth rates on Pullman cars which
went into effect today had no marked ef
fect on the demand for lower berths,
though one railroad reported that a dozen
reservations of upper berths for points
on the Pacific coast had been received
from the east.
The new rules make it possible for a
person to ride in a Pullman car between
Chicago and the Pacific coast for 53.69
le'js than he used to, providing he takes
an upper berth.
The clerk of the United States circuit
court has received some 1,600 letters in
closing receipts for Pullman tickets paid
for the old rates on the lines out of St.
Paul during the time the interstate com
merce commission's rates were enjoined.
The rules provide for a refund of the
difference between .the old rates and the
commissiofi's reduced rates if the latter's
orders were upheld.
As they were not upheld but were mod
ified in accordance with the general re
duction offered by the Pullman company
of a lesser amount, a technical question
has arisen as to tbe amount of the re
fund.

the body on record as being "unalterably
opposed to the boll weevil and the hook
