HUMID HEAT DOES President Forces Reductions on Lumber, Leather and Gloves by Threat. CONFEREES TURN BACK MURDEROUS WORK Am About to Adopt Report With Democrats Present When letter Eitorta Concessions House Will Vote Saturday. WASHINGTON. July . The Payne Alarich tariff bill Is completed. An agree ment on all disputed points was reached this afternoon and at 4:Si P. M., the report was signed by the Republican con ferees. It will go to the House tomor row and be voted on by that body Sat urday. The Senate on Monday will begin consideration of the measure. The Senate session may consume all of next week Halted by the mandate of Pre.olden Taft. the tariff conferees were compelle to turn back and revise their rates on lumber and gloves. Hides will be free, and the rates on shoes and other leather product were reduced. Too Sure of Taft Consent. When the conferees fixed the rates on lumber and gloves yesterday by shading slightly the higher rates on cacn, tney were so certain that the President would consent to the arrangement that notices were sent to the Democratic conferees to be present at 10 o'clock today to ap- Drove or disapprove of the report. The President had other Ideas of what the rates should be. however, and be ex Dre!Bed them forcibly In a letter. He said the lumber tariff should not be more than $1 2S pr K") feet for rough, with lh. differentials fixed by the Senate on finished lumber. He declared also that the Senate rates on gloves, which are the same as tile IHngley rates and much less than the House rates, must be adopted n order to obtain hia approval of the bill. Free Hides, Reduce Leather Goods. The President also specified that hides must go on the free list and that the House rates on boots and shoes and other manufactures of leather must b reduced. The duties on hosiery he thought should be reduced below the House rate, which was advanced over the Dlngley schedule. It was not until after the Democratic members had assembled that the com munlcatlon was received. When Senator Aldrleh read the letter he called his Re publican associates to an adjoining room. The letter was discussed and it was de cided that the minority should be in formed that the conference report had not been advanced to a stage where it could be submitted to them for their Judgment. CAX'T BLVFF TAFT OX LUMBER Northwestern Senators Send In Ulti matum, but Back Down. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 29. Senators Bourne, Jones. Plies. Borah and Heyburn had a confer ence this afternoon, at the conclusion of which they sent word to the conference committee that the duty on lumber must not be reduced below the Senate rate of $1.50. If a reduction was made, they as serted, they would be compelled to vote against the adoption of the report. The conference committee, after re ceiving this ultimatum, gave Its consid eration with the President's ultimatum, sent In later in the day. and finally sent back word to the Northwestern men that It would be Impossible to grant their re quest. Serious as would be their opposi tion to the bill, said the conference com mittee, it would be even more serious to Invite a Presidential veto, and therefore the committee felt compelled to accept the compromise rate on lumber. Upon receipt of this reply the North westerners went into executive session, and at Its conclusion sent back word to the conference committee tnat they would Wilts 22 and Kills' Five in Chi cago, Driving One Man Raving Mad. WOMAN DIES AT HER WORK Thunder Storm Brings Relief for Time, but Temperature Again Creeps Vp People Flee in Vain to Steamers. CHICAGO. Julv 29. (Special.) A bits terins heat today caused five deaths In this city. There were Si serious prostra tions reported to the police, but this probably does not represent more than one-third the actual number. Heavy Democratic Offer Rejected. After the Democrats had reached the corridors, they held a little conference of their own. Representative Champ Clark of Missouri, was called back to the Chamber. He was given a copy of the bill as the conferees intended to report It. except for the schedules discussed by the President in his letter. The Demo crats then went Into session. The minority members were In the conference chamber leas than an hour. Representative Griggs said that, tf the Republicans would consent to put cotton bagging on the free list, his associates would show frrf at celerity infringing the conference report to a vote. Many con ferees were disposed to grant this re quest, but Representative McCatl, of Massachusetts effectively protested. Cannon Beaten on Gloves. After the Democrats left there was a recess. Representative Fordney and Rep resentative Calderhead went to the W hite House and then to the office of Speaker Cannon and then back to the conference chamber. Later they conferred with a number of Northwestern Senators who mere Interested In the lumber question. Speaker Cannon hurried to the conference room. He has bf en one of the chief sup porters of the House rates on gloves. There was no opportunity to compro mise on gloves. The President said the rate must not be advanced beyond the figures of the Senate bill, which are the same as the existing duties, except that Rclimaschen gloves are reduced from $1.75 a duxen to J1.J5. These rates were adopted. Slight Concession on Iamler. On lumber some concessions were made. In spite of the fact that the Fresulent s instructions were complied with to the letter. Rough lumber was made dutia ble at $1.5 per thousand feet; finished on one side, $1.75; finished on two sides or one tde planed and tongued and grooved. $2.15; tinished on three sides, J.aS, finished on four sides. J2.SK. To conciliate Senators Piles and Jones the conferees adopted the Senate rate of i) cents a thousand on shingles. Instead of the House rate of 30 cents. In order to obtain the support of Sena tor Heyburn, the differential on pig lead in bars was restored to 21 cents a pound. Duty Put on Tallow. In view of the action of the conferees in putting hides on the free list, a con cession was made to the cattle industry by taking tallow off the free list and making it dutiable at IS cents a pound. The rates on hosiery were fixed by in creases of about CO per cent in grades valued at $1.50 and $2 a dozen pairs. This Is an increase over existing rates, but a material decrease from the House ad vances. On all other values of hosiery the Dir.gley rates, re-enacted by the Sen ate, were retained.
