BRIEF REPORT OF
WORK OF NATION'S LAW5IAKERS
Washington, May 6. Not since the
Republican guns were unlimbered
against the Ilemocrutic free list bill
by Mann, the minority leader, more
thun week ago, haa the debate in the
house developed such an attack on the
measure aa was made today by Hill
of Connecticut, a Republican member
of the ways and meant committee and
one of the leading Republican advo
cates of the Canadian reciprocity bill.
Hill asserted that the bill devised
by the Ilemocrutic leaders, removing
the tanli duties from many Iixxl pro
duct anil manufactured articles, was
so crudely drawn and ao indefinite in
its terms that no estimate could be
made of the revenues it would cut off,
or of the effect it would have on busi
ness and commerce.
He said that, instead of $10,000,000
reduction in revenue, as the demo
crats expected, it might be made a re
duction of $50,000,000 and that its
effect on business would be to transfer
many flourishing industries to Europe.
"You intended to hit the trusts,"
said Hill to the Democrats, "you will
wake up to find you have, in fact,
hcljMil the trusts; taken away the rev
enues of the government and put
money into the pockets of the trusts
instead of into the pockets of the peo
ple whom you claim to be helping."
Hill explained that the International
Harvester company, the large sewing
machine companies and other manu
facturers would be able, under the
Democratic bill, to manufacture parts
of their machines choufwr abroad, and
bring thorn into this country to be
assembled by cheao labor here. Me
chanics and skilled laborers would
suffer loss of t-mployt-mnt, he said. He
declared that the Democratic bill was
so general in terms as to admit almost
anything free of duty. Woolen goods.
all kinds of wire, all torts of fabrics,
zinc, lead, pigiron, were among the
things he mentioned.
Hill particularly attacked the bill
for making many manufactured pro
ducts free of duty against the raw
material that American manufactur
ers have to import. lie said also
that, in attempting to make free of
duty the bagging used U warp cotton
bales, the Democratic bill would let in
free the bagging used by the fertilizer
trust, by the cement mills of the Uni
ted States and by other monopolies,
which would make no corresixmding
reduction in prices to consumers.
Chairman Underwixxl of the ways
and means committee interjected that,
while Hill's whole argument wus from
tho HtandKiint of the American manu
facturer, the real purpose of tho bill
was to reduce prices and cost of
living for the American people."
Mr. Hill said thut the reductions
would in umost every case te taken up
by the big corjKiratioriS that control
tho markets.
The speech was enlivened by many
interruptions and much partisan com
ment from bo,th sides of the house.
Washington, May 4. The investi
gating trend of congress took a wide
range Uxlay. Inquiries a into the
affairs of the United States Steel cor
poration, the American Sugar Refin
ing company were placed on the pro
gramme of the Democratic house; the
shoo industry wus under fire, and a
senate committee on expenses paved
the way for a re-investigation of tho
charge against Senator Ixirimer, of
Illinois.
Resolutions directing committees to
search tho records to determine wheth
er any of tho first throe named corjxir
utions are operating in violation of
the anti-trust, interstate commerce or
Nalioiila bunking law have been
started on tho legislative way. The
steel trust resolution, the creation of
Representative Stanley, of Kentucky,
wus approved by the house committee
on rales ami will tie reported to me
house.
The resolution directs the commit
tee to ascertain whether the steel
corporation has relations or affilia
tions in violation of the law with any
nominally independent stool company;
to inquire into the relations of the
corporation with the Pennsylvania
railroad company, "or any other rail
wad company or coal company, or
with National bunking companies.
trust companies or other corporate
orgnnizntions or companies.
Representative Hurdwiok, of Geor
gia, is the author ot tne resolution
providing for the inquiry into tho
American Sugnr Refining company
and this will be considered by the
rules committee tomorrow. If tho
committee has time. It may also con-
aider a similar resolution by Repre
sentative Francis of Ohio.
Postal Banks Increased.
Washington, May 6. Assured of
the success of the postal savings bunk
system, I'ostmaster-Cenoial Hitchcock
has, decided to designate from this
time forward fit) to 100 additional pos
tal savings bunks monthly, until the
system has boon generally established
throughout the United States. Tele
graphic roxrts received from 45 pos
tal savings doxsitorio9 opened for
business yesterday show thut 400 ac
counts were received.
$1,180,000 Customs Paid.
Washington, May 6. The govern
ment today accepted $1.10,000 in
compromise of the suit against Du
voon brothers, the New York art firm,
accused of customs fraud. The Ixxiks
and papers of tho firm will be retained
for evidence in a criminal action. The
settlement involved the largest sum
collected in any of the customs cast-a,
except the sugar frauds.
THE DAILY
Washington, May 1. The house
committee on wayt and meant will
begin working on the revision of the
wool schedule, next week. The Demo
cratic majority in the house as well aa
the Democratic membership of the
committee are divided, but the com
mittee division is not so wide aa dur
ing the last few weeks.
It is the policy of Speaker Clark,
Underwood and other Democratic lead
ers not to tubrnit a bill placing raw
wool on the free list. Many Demo
crat want raw wool on the free list;
others believe the schedule should not
be ao radically revised at this time.
Thut a majority of the Democrats on
the ways and means committee favor
ed free raw wool until a few days ago
there is no doubt, but a majority of
Democrats could not be secured to
sign such a bill, even in committee,
nor could a majority of Democrats in
the house be enlisted fur its passage.
To agree on a bill that the Demo
crats can support unanimously, or
nearly so, is the purpose of the party
leaders. The bill, when finally re
ported, will be a compromise, ap
proved by the Democratic caucus.
There will be no formal caucus on
the wool schedule, however, until the
majority members of the ways and
means com it tee have agreed on a bill
It t reported that of the 14 mem
bers on the committee only seven are
standing for free raw wool.
Originally there were nine. The
progressives believe in a gradual re
duction on raw wool and the plan now
is for a 60 per cent reduction for the
first year, or a tariff of about 6 cents
a pound, a cent a pound to be cut off
each-year for five years. At the end
of which time the commodity would
automatically go on the free list.
Such a compromise is looked on
with favor by the Democrats, and
such an arrangement doubtless will be
approved before the bill reaches the
house.
Washington, May 2. The senate
committee on finance today decided to
devote the time between now and Sat
urday, May 13, to hearings on the
Canadian reciprocity bill. Immediate
ly after that date it is expected that
the bill will be reported to the senate.
While there is no intention to per
mit the hearing to involve the free
list bill so as to delay consideration of
reciprocity, witnesses will be permit
tod to make incidental arguments
bearing on the bill. The first expres
sions tomorrow to be made by repre
senatives of the shoe interests will be
devoted principally to contentions
against the free list bill.
"The purKse of the committee,"
said Senator Penrose, who today
assumed the chairmanship, "is to press
the reciprocity bill to a speedy re
port." After next Monday the committee
will meet daily and sit throughout
each day, but during the remaider of
the present week the meetings will be
desultory. Senators Nixon, of Michi
gan, and MeCurfrber of North Dakota,
loth a-sked time today for representa
tives of agricultural interests to op
pose reciprocity.
Washington, May 2. Protection
and free trade were the themes of to
day's debate in the house over the
Democratic bill to put agricultural
implements, certain food products and
manufactured articles on the free list.
Mr. Tillson, of Connecticut, said his
state, usually referred to in tariff de
bates ns a manufacturing community,
held largo and important farming in
terests, but that the farmers refused
to be caught by the "farmers' free
list" bill, or the Democratic measure.
S. W. Smith of Michigan, and Mr.
Rurke of South Dakota, ( Republicans)
opKised the measure because of its
assault Uxn the doctrine of protec
tion. Mr. Catlin of Missouri, said
tho bill would give a firmer foothold
in the United States to the growing
Japanese trade. Messrs. Ryrnes and
Sims of Tennessee, and
Burns of South Dakota,
crats) defended the bill.

Washington, May 3. Several tenta
tive drafts of tho proposed arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain were discussed by Pres
ident Taft and his cabinet today. Fol
lowing the cabinet session. Secretary
Knox and his aides continued the dis
cussion of details of phraseology, but
tonight tho president told callers no
draft has boon accepted as final and it
might be weeks before the treaty
could be submitted for ratification.
Some difficulties in framing the
treaty have disappeared, according to
the White house. The criticism of
English newspapers that the United
States senate must be consulted before
disputes could be arbitrated, was
hardly a valid objection, the president
thought.
Carriert' Work it Topic.
Washington, P. C. Postmaster

cially regarding tho work of carriers

DIAZ' DEATH DEMANDED.
Rtsignation Stems Certain Rebels
Gain Strength,
Mexico City, May 6. With students
around the national palace shouting
"Viva Madero and Death to Diaz,
President Diaz ia preparing for early
resignation, ihis it regarded aa a
certainty. Should the announcement
be made tomorrow it would cause no
surprise to hit cabinet.
A number of students began jeering
the police in front of the national
palace at noon, shouting "Viva Ma
dero and Death to Diaz." A large
crowd quickly collected.
The police at first made a good
natured attempt to disperse the stu
dents, but it was necessary to get re
inforcements and the crowd was not
driven away until several had been
hurt.
It is feared other demonstrations
will follow, as the students have given
notice they would again parade to the
house of Diaz for an answer to their
petition for the resignation of the
president.
The police took no measures to dis
perse the holiday crowd, which filed
into the garden of Zocalo, the squares
in front of the palace; or poured aim
lessly in and out of the principal
streets of the neighborhood.
In Isabella La Catholica street
crowds banked themselves before a
street car, stopped it and tore from it
one of the little .Mexican flags which
adorned ail the soldiers.
Still the police failed to interfere
and it was only when the mob seized a
soldier, lifted him to its shoulders and
marched off with bim, crying "Viva
Madero," that the mounted police
rode into its midst. The crowd was
not looking for trouble, however, and
dropped the soldier and fled. Nobody
was injured. Another crowd rushed
own Cadena street and in passing the
governor's house lauded Madero and
the revolution. The police also dis
persed this crowd.
No authoritative confirmation could
be obtained, ."but there appears little
doubt that President Diaz, recogniz
ing the seriousness of the situation
and resxnding to the popular demand,
will retire when order is restored.
At the president's office no state
ment could be had and the cabinet,
realizing that the president is the only
man who can give a direct answer to
the demands of Francisco I. Madero,
Jr., that Diaz should publish his in
tention to retire, were silent

Suffrage Bill Makes Progreea.
Ixtndon By a vote of 255 to 88 the
house of commons has passed to third
rending a bill to confer the parliamen
tary franchise upon women. The
measure was then referred to a com
mittee. The bill is similar to one
smothered in committee last year. It

such women to vote, even though they
are married, provided their husbunds
do not vote in the same district.

an unorganized protest against denial
to their sex of the ballot.
Every avenue through, which woman
has invaded man's field of endeavor
was represented, from sculpture to
cab driving. One hundred male sup
porters joined in the parade.
tour brass bands, dozens of elabor
ate floats and fluttering pennants by
the hundreds, with here and there a
banner bearing epigrams, lengthened
the line of 2,000 marchers. The
ranks were separated into seven divis
ions and more than half the marchers
were laden with camp stools, besides
the regular insignia and banners
which they carried.
The camp stools, an innovation in
New York parades, had served as
teats for the feminine army preceding
the formation. Having answered
their purpose, they were folded up,
tucked under arms and carried along.
Every one marched with the exception
of the veterans and the babies.
Mi Antoinette Brown Blackwell,
nearly 90, Mrs. Anna Garlan Spencer
and Mrs. Phoebe A. Hapford, repre
senting "The Girls of '61," rode in
open carriages. The youngest re
cruits were trundled in go-carts by
their mothers.
Out-of-town associations, in a sep
arate division, consisted of delegates
from Colorado, Wyoming, Massachus
etts, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
W hen the marchers reached Union
square an open-air mass meeting was
held and addresses were delivered by
the leaders.

Counterfeit So Good At Almost
to
Defy Detection.
San Francisco Counterfeit $20
gold pieces, so clever in execution as
almost to defy detection, have been
spread profusely over San Francisco
and other cities of the Pacific coast,
according to information given by the
Federal authorities.
The spurious gold pieces appear so
much like the genuine that they will
deceive even the most scrutinous, un
less examined very closely.
The date on the output is 1888, and
it will be found on close observation
that the metal is a trifle light. The
ring is almost as good as in the legiti
mate coins, though to the experienced
ear it will seem a little "brassy."
Around the design and inscriptions
slightly blurred appearance is evi
dent, convincing the authorities that
the coin has been cast. A considera
ble amount of copper is used in mak
ing the bogus coin, and much gold has
been employed m completing it.
It is believed that the gang has cir
culated the output in several Western
states and will soon be run to cover by
Chief Operative Moffit and his oper
atives, who are noted for their success
in this line. In the meantime all
merchants of San Francisco are espe
cially cautioned by the authorities to
be on the lookout for bogus gold
pieces.
Fez Besieged by Rebels.
Fez, Morocco The arrival of Cap
tain Bremon's column has not chang
ed the situation here. The loose in
vestment of the capital continues.
The rebel horsemen, who are beyond
the reach of the artillery, have cut off
the food supplies. The sultan's
troops are worn out with the constant
skirmishig and watchfulness. The
rebel chiefs have a growing moral ad
vantage, now all Morocco knows that
the sultan is penned up in the capital
and that his troops are unable to move
outside the range of their artillery.
