SENATE TELLS HOUSE
TO 0. K. AMENDMENTS
PUSS UP TARIFF
Every Effort Being Made to
$ Get Bill to Conference With-
§ out Delay-Senate Action
§■ Saves Day's Time
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—The Demo-
^Tcratic tariff revision bill as it passed
i^Jhe senate last night, changed in many
particulars from the form in which it
ggjfcft the house over four months ago,
Twvent back to that body today, and to
-morrow will find its way into a joint
—conference committee where the finish
ing touches will be given to it.
The senate stole a march upon the
house, when immediately after passing
the bill if decided to “insist upon its
amendments’’ and ask for a conference.
TJnder this procedure when the bill went
* to the house today there was nothing for
* - -the house to do but to accept the amend-
% anient or meet the request of the senate
v3 for the appointment of a house com-
ij. 'xnittee. The move of the senate lead-
^ ers, while formal in character, saved a
" day's time in getting the bill into the
.joint conference committee.
Preliminary conferences within the
last two weeks between Representative
Underwood and Senator Simmons, the
- tariff leaders of the two bodies, have
led to an understanding that little time
will be consumed in the conference dis-
. cussion of the bill. It was predicted
tjOday that the measure probably would
be ready for the president within ten
days.
The Democratic tariff revision
bill passed the senate at 6:43
* o’clock Tuesday afternoon amid
- a burst of applause that
^-'swept down from crowded galleries and
’•v fc found its echo on the crowded floor of
’£3T,the senate.
Its passage was attended with sur-
* ‘prises in the Anal moments of the vot-
when Senator LaFollete, Republic-
- an, cast his vote with the Democrats,
- and was joined a few moments later
V by Senator Poindexter, Progressive.
- The Democrats had counted through-
V, out the long tariff fight upon losing the
; votes, of Senators Ransdell and Thorn-
v ton, of Louisiana, Democrats, who voted
e against the bill today because it
* would put sugar on the free list.
Until the names of Senators LaFol-
* lette and Poindexter were actually call-
* «d, however, no one knew definitely the
| stand they would take, and their votes
< were greeted with enthusiastic ap-
'% plause. 4
The vote was 44 to 37 in favor of the
bill after all amendments had been de-
' feated.
♦p President Wilson tonight expressed
. great gratification over the end of the
- lcng struggle in the senate. Senator
Simmons, chairman of the finance com-
' mittee, who had piloted the bill through
. the finance committee, the Democratic
caucus and the senate, predicted that its
passage would bring immediate stimulus
to the commercial life of the country.
- AVERAGE CUT 28 PER CENT.
*> As it passed the senate the tariff bill
A ^represents an average reduction of more
^ than 4 per cent from the rates of the
original bill that passed the house, and
- nearly 28 per cent from the rates of the
existing law.
In many important places the senate
* has changed the bill that passed the
■’ house, and a conference committee of
* the two houses will begin work Wednes-
- day or Thursday to adjust these differ
ences.
Leaders of both houses predict that
il- the conference will consume less than
— two weeks* time.
- The senate endeavored today to hasten
/ the bill on its progress to the White
/ House by naming its members of the
conference committee as soon as the
- bill passed.
Vice President Marshall appointed
Senators Simmons. Storte, Williams and
-Johnson, Democrats, and Senators Pen
rose, Lodge and La Follette, Republi-
— cans, as the Senate conferees.
Senator Stone withdrew from the
committee and Senator Shiveley was
| appointed in his place. The house con*
t ferees. it was reported last night, will
! be Representatives Underwood, Kitchin
and Rainey, Democrats, and Payne and
Fordney, Republicans. Each house will
have an equal vote In the conference
committee, even though each does not
name the sanie number of conferees.

One important change made on the
recommendation of the finance coir
mittee gives the secretary of the
treasury power to censor all imported
moving picture films. An amendment
by Senator McCumber proposing higher
duties on barley, oats, wheat and flax
seed, was rejected 48 to 25, and one
by Senator LaFollette for a 6-cent duty
on wheat was defeated without a roll
call.
Senator James, acting for the finance
committee, secured the adoption of an
amendment modifying the provision of
the tyll that authorizes the secretary
of the treasury and collector of inter
nal revenue to employ income tax of
ficials, without regard to the civil serv
ice laws. The new provision leaves
it optional with the officials as to
w r hether or not they will take employes
from the list of civil service eligibles.
RETAINS CHIEF PROVISIONS.
The tariff bill as passed retained the
principal house’ provisions, including
free sugar and free raw wool, but re
vised other rates still further down
ward. The average ad valorem rate in
the bill now is approximately 26 per
cent, a decrease of 28 per cent from
existing rates and nearly 4 per cent
lower than the rates of the house bill.
The senate’s additions to the house
free list with 1912 as a basis will
cost the government more than $44,-
000,000, but by adding a tax of one-
tenth of 1 cent a pound on cotton for
future delivery, a tax on bananas of
one-tenth of 1 per cent a pound; restor
ing the requirement of a full Internal
revenue tax of $1.10 a gallon on bran
dies used to fortify wines and by in
creasing the sur-tax rates on large
incomes, senate leaders believe they
have provided an actual increase. That
is a point disputed by Majority
Leader Underwood, of the house.
HERE ARE MAIN CHANGES.
The senate made these other impor
tant changes:
Lowered the normal exemption from
the 1 per cent income tax from $4,000
to $3,000 for single,^ persons, with ex
emptions for wives and dependent chil
dren: exempted the incomes of mutual
insurance companies which revert to the
benefit of stockholders; increased grad
uate sur-tax on large incomes to a
maximum of 6 per cent on those more
chan $500,000; exempted incomes of mu
nicipalities derived from operation of
public utilities and changed the date
from which the tax shall be computed
for first year from January 1 to March
1, 1913.
Free list cattle and other live stock,
•vheat, hair of \ the angora goat and
some other agricultural products; re
stored oatmeal and rolled oats to the
dutiable list and provided an elabor
ate inspection of meat imports.
Reduced house rates on woolen man
ufactures to become effective January
1, 1914.
SUGAR SCHEDULE.
Provided in the sugar schedule for im
mediate abolishment of the Dutch stand
ard test; postponed operation of pro
posed reduced rates until March 1, 1914,
leaving the provision unchanged for
free sugar in May, 1916.
Slightly increased rates on finer cot
ton goods, reclassifying the whole cot
ton schedule and changing, the silk
schedule from an ad valorem to a spe
cific basis.
Provided for an administrative force
to handle income tax collections with
out regard to requirements of the civil
service.
Struck out a # countervailing duty on
wood pulp.
Greatly reduced rates of the metal
schedule.
Struck out many reform provisions
in the administrative section; rejected
the anti-dumping clause; the 5 per cent
tariff reduction on imports in American
vessels and the requirement for inspec
tion of books of foreign manufacture
in undervaluation cases; but added a
provision giving the president authority
to retaliate against nations which dis
criminate against American goods by
proclaiming increased rates on certain
goods; adopted a provision excluding
goods manufactured chiefly by child la
bor and provided for the creation of a
commission to revise the customs laws.
Important additions to the free list
included:
Antimony ore, limestone rock, as
phalt, asphaltum and bitumen, fabrics
of jute yarns, wool blankets valued at
less than 40 cents a 'pound, textbooks,
sugar machinery, cast iron pipe, sur
gical catgut, cement, creosote oil, de
natured alcohol, flax and hemp, furs
and fur skins, gunpowder, pig iron,
shiegelosen, ferromanganese, wrought
iron, iron slabs and blooms, photo
graphic mdving picture films, steel in
gots! blooms and slabs, cattle and other
live stock, wheat, sawed cedar, angora
goat and alpaca wool and paper twine
for binding wool.*
Republican protests against the ap
pointment of Senator LaFollette, who
voted for the bill, as one of the Repub
lican conferees on the measure, brought
a declaration today from Senator Sim
mons that LaFollette’s action was en
tirely fair to the Republiacns.
“While Senator LaFollette voted for
the tariff bill, he voted against most
of the amendments we offered,’’ \said
Senator Simmons, “and these amend
ments are the subjects which the con
ference committee will consider. We
do not feel that his presence adds to
the Democratic strength on the commit
tee, as he has opposed many of the
important changes we have made in the
bill.’’
The ministers \from Panama, Cqsta
Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala, the
latter also acting for Honduras, called
on President Wilson today to protest
against the duty of 1-10 of 1 cent per
pound on bananas connected in the
new tariff bill. The duty is estimated
to produce $2,500,000 annual revenue by
a tax too small to be passed along to
the consumer, and was a senate amend
ment.
MYSTERY II DEATH OF
Found Floating in Lake Mich
igan With Cord Drawn Tight
Around Neck
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Friends and
neighbors of Mrs. Walter B. Smith,
wealthy society woman of Lake Forest,
whose body was found yesterday after
noon wit ha cord' around the neck in
Lake Michigan, today discussed the cir
cumstances of her death, and were un
able to offer any satisfactory explana
tion of the case. The coroner’s in
quest late last night failed to throw any
light on the mystery.
The jury’s verdict gave no theory as
to the cause of death. The verdict
reads:
“We, the jury, find that Florence M.
Smith came to her death by drowning
in Lake Michigan, off the shore of Lake
Forest.’’
Inquiry regarding the actions of Mrs.
Smith yesterday revealed that before
walking to the lake shore she had seem
ed to be in the best of health and spir
its. She passed part of the morning
playing the piano at her home and sing
ing to her six-year-old daughter, ‘Wini
fred.
Dr. A. C. Haven, physician for the
Smith family, said today that Mrs.
Smith had enjoyed good health and was
not subject to fits of melancholia.
Mrs. Smith, who was Florence McCul
lough, was married to Walter B. Smith
June 6, 1905.
She was a granddaughter of Martin
Hughitt, former 'president and now
chairman of the board of directors of
the Chicago and Northwestern railroad.
Her husband is a wealthy stock and
bond broker, the son of Byron L. Sm^h,
prominent Chicago banker.

ance of an outline of a large coffin on
a sheet covering a bed in the residence
of Sam Keitchem, in North Dalton, is
vouched for by scores of people living
near him, who claim to have seen the
phenomenon.
According to the grewsome story, the
bedclothing was changed, and the room
closed up for several oaya. Yesterday,
when the room was opened, a perfectly
formed outline of a coffin appeared on
the top sheet. Neighbors were called in,
and they claim that they clearly saw
the coffin outline, which gradually grew
dimmer and faded out after several
hours. •
The matter has greatly aroused the
people living in that section.

Administration to Adopt Plan
Whereby Appointments Will
Be More Open
BY RALPH SMITH
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—A
plan partially to let down the bars at
the entrance of the diplomatic service
and liberalize the method of choosing
secretaries for legations and embassies,
is part of the administration’s policy
seeking to make that part of the gov
ernment service more democratic than
heretofore.
„ * 7 ' or first time within the recol
lection of those entrusted with the con
duct of, the appointment division of the
state department, every senator and
representative in congress has been noti
fied of an examination to be held for
applicants for appointment as secretaries
in the diplomatic service, and has been
requested to make his recommendations
to the secretary of state. The exami
nation will be held October 20.
Ihe departure marks a radical and
wholesome change in the method hereto-
fore foliowed by the state department
in the appointment of persons in the
diplomatic corps. Heretofore, when
there were vacancies in the service, the
examinations—so-called—went by favor,
I and only senators and congressmen
close to the administration were given
an opportunity to certify the names of
applicants who desired to stand the test.
There was no open competition, and it
is charged that even under the destrict-
ed system of examinations, the success
ful applicants were not always the best
fitted. The examination, it is charged,
served as a means to an end, and that
end was to fill up the service with
friends and constituents of influential
men in the administration. That, in
part, it is contended, accounts for the
fact that today, few, if any, Democrats
are in the diplomatic service. The ex
aminations were restricted to Republi
cans, for the most part, and then, under
the insidious spoils system—for it was
such—the fellow with the influence got
the job.
THE NEXT EXAMINATION.
The next examination, October 20, will
be held at the state department, at
which time from six to twelve men will
be selecteod and placed on the eligible
list for two years. If not given an ap
pointment within two years, the can
didate’s name is dropped from the list
and he must take the examination to
get back on the list. The men who are
to take the examination are designated
by the president, usually upon the rec
ommendation of members of congress.
The new plan of notifying all the con
gressmen of the examination will result
in bringing before the secretary of
state, or to the assistants in charge of
the work, a much larger list of recom
mendations than under the old plan. This
will give a more satisfactory list from
which to make designations and will
probably result in a longer list of per
sons to take the examinations.
NOT MANY VACANCIES.
There are only a few vacancies in the
diplomatic service now, fewer than ten
of the total of sixty-four secretaryships
in the service being not filled. The
total number of offices in the service,
including ministers and ambassadors, is
13 0. The demand for places is great
always.
Dudley Field Malone, third assistant
secretary of state, who is ex-officio
chairman of the examining board, sent
out the letters to the congressmen, no
tifying them of the examinations. Al
ready many responses and recommenda
tions have been received by Mr. Malone.
It is stated, officially, that political
faith will not be considered either in
making designations or i*- placing men
on the eligible list.
President Taft placed the secretary
ships under civil service, but by law
all such appointments are subject to
confirmation by the senate, so that ul
timately the responsibility rests upon
the president. He will be guided of
course by the recommendations of the
state department, and the department
in turn, will make its recommendations
from the eligible list.

DIDN’T KNOW
WHATTO DO
Pitiful State in Which Mrs.
May Found Herself, and
How She Escaped
OPP, Ala.—In a letter from this town,
Mrs. Carrie May writes? as follows:
“About two months after I married' I
began to have very bad weak spells
and terrible headaches. I felt miserable
all the time, and soon got to where I
couldn’t hardly stay up. After the
third month I got down completely.
I was young, had never been sick be
fore, and I just didn’t know what to
do. I thought I would die.
My husband, at last, got me a bottle
of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and it
helped me so, he got another bottle.
When I had taken the second bottle 1
was well.
I wish that every woman, .suffering
from womanly trouble, would give
Cardui a trial. It’s is the best medicine
on earth for womanly weakness.”
Are you weak, tired, worn-out? Do
you suffer from any of the pains pe
culiar to weak woman? If so, take
Cardui.
As a remedy for women’s ills, Cardui
has been most successful. It is purely
vegetable, composed of ingredients
which have been found to build up
the vitality and strengthen the woman
ly constitution, as well as to prevent
or relieve those terrible pains from
which weak women suffer.
Cardui is worth trying. Judging
from the experience of a million other
women who have been benefited by this
remedy, it should surely do you good.
