Reducing Duties to 27.C6
; Per Cent
Washington. Renresentatrvej Tn-
lerwood at the direction of democrat
ic member of the ways and moons
tomraittee reintroduced the cotton tar
iff revision bill which was passed by
the house and senate at the extra ses
sion of congress and vetoed by Presi
dent Taft.
The democrats contend that the bill
would reduce the average ad valorem
cotton duties to S7.08 per cent, as
gainst an ad valorem of 47.15 per
cent in 1911 and 48.12 in 1910. The
committee will report the bill favor
ably early next week.
The democrats estimate that the
revenues from the, bill the first year
of Hs operation will be about $I0.5i0,.
000, compared with $13,000,000 in 1910
and $12,300,000 in 1911. In its behalf
they declare that the cost of cotton

reduced by $$0,000,000.
Three-Year Homestead Bill Passed
Without word of debate, without a
dissenting vote, the house of repre
sentatives agreed to the conference
report on the Borah-Jones three-year
homestead bill and it was signed by
Speaker Clark. After it is signed by
the vice-president it will go to the
White house for President Taft's ap
proval and the general expectation is
that the bill will become a law before
the end of this week.
If the session of congress lasts long
enough Senator Borah will endeavor
to get through the house his correlat
ed bill directing the patenting of
homesteads on government irrigation
projects as soon as entrymen comply
with the homestead law. This bill
has passed the senate, but has not
been reported by the house commit
tee. If it is enacted, homesteaders on
government projects can get patent in
three years, instead of Wilting 10, as
at present required.

PLAN OF BATTLE FORMED
Council at Sagamore Hill Decides on
Organization of Delegates.
Oyster Bay. The Roosevelt line of
battle for the republican national con
vention was formed here, at a council
of war on Sasamor hill.
The first step Is to be the orsanlia-
tion of the Roosevelt forces through
out the country.. It is planned to send
to Chicago, a week or so In advance
of the convention, an executive com
mittee from every state In which
Roosevelt delegates have been elect
ed, or in which there Is a contest. By
this method it is expected to mobilize
and drill an organization that will act
as a unit.
Two other points were agreed upon.
Every effort Is to be made to have the
hearings before the national commit
tee to settle contests for seats held
publicly, and the Roosevelt support
ers will fight to obtain what they

PARMALEE IS KILLED
WHEN BIPLANE DROPS
North Yakima, Wash. With a
smile and a kiss thrown to his fianceo,
Miss C. E. Turpln, and a wave of his
band to the thousands who watched
him, Philip O. Parmalee, one of the
Wright aviators, took the air In the
teeth of a gusty west wind here Sat
urday afternoon for his first flight.
Three minutes later his broken and
lifeless body was dragged from be
neath the wreckage of his biplane In
an apple orchard in the lower end of
Moxee Valley, two miles . from bis
starting point.
The exact cause of the disaster that
plunged him 400 feet to death probably
never will be known.
It is thought by tho mechanicians
who were employed by Parmalee that
a sudden gust of wind from one of the
draws or small canyons that notch
the sides of Moxee Valley struck the
machine and rendered the elevating
planes unmanageable. -
