Indianapolis, April 1. At the repub

he said In his letter, "the Important
subject " of tariff revision would be
dealth with by a republican senate and
a democratic houise. This would re
sult In a compromise. If congress
convenes Immediately after election It
would be able to complete the work
of revision before Inauguration of the
next present This would put an
end to the oppression of the business
world much sooner than otherwise
would be possible. This would be
wise; patriotic statesmanship, good

This letter will be used as a basis
for the tariff plank in the state re
publican platform.

' San Francisco, April 1. Both Bat
tling Nelson and Abe Attel are -badly
banged up as the result of the gruel
ing bout last night. Attel looks worse
than the Dane, although he probably
did not stop as many blows. The draw

oproper. Attel outbozed his opponent,
but the Dane' evened things with his
aggressiveness.
A draw decision was rendered after
