AVlng a seventeen-year-old Chinaman who is being held at Seattle. AVlng claims to have been born at Empire and to have returned to China with his grand-mother in 1905.

CASTLEWOOD" at the P, K. BILL MAY Allege Phraseology of Hide Schedule Doesn't Mean What It Seemed. PRESIDENT TAFT IN FAVOR OF IT Chief Executive and Progres sive "Republicans Lock" Horns Over It. (By Associated Press.) AA'ASHINGTON, Aug. 2. AVlth the tariff conference report facing defeat in the Senate on account of an alleged "joker" In the hide and leather compromise, It was decided at 1 o'clock today to reassemble the conference committee for the pur pose of preparing an official .exjlana tlon. The conference committee is expected to meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The alleged "joker" which a nunf ber of progressive republicans In the Senate are said to have discovered In the leather schedule of the tariff bill as reported by the conferees, and which some of them have been quoted as saying constituted a be trayal of the President's' confidence, brought out the declaration by Pres ident Taft to callers today that the language of the amendment as to boots and shoes is exactly as agreed upon by him, Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Payne. He also said the talk of a "joker" in the leather schedule was absurd. The language of the conference report imposing a duty of ten per cent on boots and shoes is as fol low "That 'boots and shoes, the upper leather of which is made wholly or In chief value from such hides, the hides as are admitted free of duty, shall pay a duty of ten per cent ad valorem." Senators from cattle states assert there are no shoes of that description used in the United States and that the reduction there for Is valueless as all other shoes of leather are made dutiable at 15 per cent. President Taft had written a let ter to Senator Brown of Nebraska, endorsing the language of the con ference report In reference to tho compromise on the leather and hide question. DR.'
