Wilson's Message to Dwell on Need
for Revision April 7 Date.
Washington, D. C The extra ses
sion of Congress called by President
Wilson to assemble April 7, will begin
with nothing but the tariff revision
bills before it This fact was made
clear in a statement by Representa
tive Underwood, chairman of the house
committee on ways and means. Until
the legislation is well under way
the bouse, no general committees will
be made and no other legislative sub
jects will be taken up.
ine president specified no subject
for the extra session in his proclama
tion, Dut It Is fully understood that
his message to congress at Its opening
will dwell upon the need of tariff re
vision.
If the currency. Philippine Independ
euce. Aiasaan affairs, woman suffrage
or other pressing questions Anally are
iorcea upon the attention of congress
It will be only after the Democratic
leaders of the two houses and the
president are convinced that the suc
cess or tariff revision is assured.
The senate committees are organized
for work and will take up the prelim
inary stages or much general leelsla
tion early in April. A general agree
ment exists, however, to keen eenersl
subjects out of active discussion, while
larin legislation is under way.

pian in a general way without attempt
ing to reach a decision as to that new
revenue raising scheme designed to
aaa pernaps 1100,000,000 to the treas
ury iunas.
While the Income tax details hinge
upon the final estimate of the probable
revenue from the H schedules, the dis
position of the committee majority is
to inaugurate a system with probably
a l per cent tax on a minimum of
i.).0OO annual income with the Idea
that the tax may be susceptible to
lowering of the income minimum or
raising of the tax percentage, or both,
if conditions necessitate after the plan
is noaiea.
The big fight pending now is the
always controversial schedule "K." the
big wool schedule. In which a final vote
is likely within the next three or four
aays. i ne advocates of free raw wool
in tne committee have counted nnon
winning in the end regardless of what
the probable attitude of the senate
might be. The majority already has
settled upon free raw cotton and upon
sharp reductions in the cheaper grades

Washington. D. C President Wil

of the cabinet a statement concerning
China in which is Intended to be made
public from the White House later.
White House and state department of
ficials observed the strictest secrecv
about the statement, and none would
venture in intimation as to Its nroh.

It Is known that the nresident anil
Secretary of State Bryan have had sev-
eral conferences on the subject of
Lnina, and a particularly long talk held
in the executive offices Just before the
secretary's departure for the west was
said to have been devoted largely to
Chinese questions.
There are two phases of the Chi
nese situation in which the United
States is peculiarly interested recog
nition of the republican government
now nearly two years old, and the
proposed six-power loan.
The Chinese republic contlnuallj

of President Taft and his secretary of
state, Mr. Knox, was to withhold rec
ognition until the new government
had demonstrated to the world its
ability to maintain itself as a real re

The "outrage on suffragists in Wash

arguments of the huffrage supporters.
"Not one man who struck a woman in
that parade, not one man who spoke
indecently to the women would vote
for woman suffrage," was one of Dr.
Shaw's remarks. She declared that all
the suffragists ask Is the right to
share in the vote of the country.
While Mrs. A. J. George was speak
ing' against the resolution there was
laughter from the suffragists when she
declared that woman's place Is in the
home. Turning to the committee she
said:
"Sisters, nearly 80 times when I1
have used the words 'home' and 'wom
an' in meetings like this the suffra
gists have laughed."
She declared that she formerly had
believed in suffrage but had changed
her views when she saw how "suf

from a seven-chambered revolver. The
tragedy caused Intense excitement.
Schinas was seized immediately and
overpowered.
The wounded King was lifted Into a
carriage, which was hurried to the
hospital. He was still breathing when
placed In the carriage, but died before
reaching the hospital.
Prince Nicholas, the King's third
son, and other officers hurried to the
hospital. On his arrival Prince Nicho
las summoned the officers and, speak
ing In a voice choked with sobs, said:
"It is my deep grief to have to an
nounce to you the death of your be
loved King and to invite you to swear
fidelity to your new sovereign, King
Constantine."
Crown Prince Constantine, who sue.
ceeds King George, at present is at
Janina.
The assassin of the King, on being
arrested, refused to explain his motive
for the crime. He declared that his
name was Aleka Shlnas and, in reply
to an officer, who asked him whether
he had no pity for his country, an
nounced that he was against govern
ment.
Shinas maintained a perfectly Impas

Precautions were taken at once
throughout the city and perfect order
is being maintained.
The King fell info the arms of his
aide when shot. Two soldiers ran
upon hearing the firing, and helped to
support him. He was placed In a car

the bleeding, but he breathed bis last

After the senate, by a vote of 161 to

that the majority should receive the
