TAFTAND LEADERS
: TALK OF REVENUE
Confer at White House on How
to Cut Tariff and Wipe
Out Deficit.
SOME FEAR OF INSURGENTS
l rsmt Xeort of Karly Action on Tar
irr Tliat liusincss Mayltevivc.
MacVcaeli Sworn In and
Cortelyou Cone.
' WASHINGTON-, March 8. The prob
lem of providing funds with which to
carry on the projects under way, to
maintain the plans of the Taft admin
istration and to make the demands
s.iuare with a new tariff schedule is
the work with which President Taft.
Senator Aldrich. Speaker Cannon and
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
were engaged at a two hours" confer
ence at the White House today.
The necessity for tho enactment of
a tariff ' bill at the earliest possible
moment was discussed, but whether a
definite policy was outlined could not
be stated. That the manufacturers
and othej large interests are demand
ing early tariff legislation, and that
business will be unsettled until the
tarilT schedules are finally fixed, were
the principal reasons for the desire to
permit nothing to Interfere with
prompt action at the special session of
Congress.
Insurgents May Cause Delay.
The possible delay which the House
"insurgents" may cause by fighting the
rules, and the further difficulties that
may be put in the way of getting the
tariff bill through without delay, were
gone Into thoroughly. The conferees
agreed that every Republican in the
House and Senate was pledged by the
party platform not to interfere with an
Immediate revision.
Mr. Taft has made a consistent fight
for a genuine revision of the tariff,
and has let It be known that he would
be satisfied with nothing less. In his
Inaugural address he frankly called
attention to the $100,000,000 deficit con
fronting his administration and sug
gested the possibility or the necessity
of an Inheritance tax. Mr. MacVeagh
has allowed himself to be quoted as to
the possible necessity of a stamp tax.
Tariff as Revenue-Producer.
It la certain that since today's confer
ence there Is a more definite understand
ing as to what may be desired of the
proposed new tariff as a revenue pro
ducer.. If It has been concluded that
tariff revision must be radical, a provi
sion In the bill may be looked for which
will have for Its purpose the raising of
revenue by other means than a tax on
Imports.
Mr. MacVeagh was sworn In as Secre
tary of tho Treasury at 3 o'clock, and
soon thereafter was at the White House
conference.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, re
tiring Secretary Cortelyou was presented,
on behalf of the officials of the depart
ment, with a large silver loving-cup of
classic design. Mr. Cortelyou, . late In
the present month, will go to New York
to become president of the Consolidated
C!as Company, of that city.
Charles E. Taylor, a Washington news
paper man, was today appointed secre
tary to Secretary of the Navy Meyer.
Taft conferred with Postmaster-General
Hitchcock, saw many Senators and
Representatives who wished to make
their peace at headquarters with refer
ence to future patronage, and made one
of a merry box-party tonight at a local
theater.
Weather Prophet Moore Explains.
Just how it happened that there was
sach a blizzard in Washington on March
4. and in the face of his telegram to
Mr. Taft on the night of the 3d that the
weather would be clear, was explained to
the President by Willis L. Moore, chief
of the United States Weather Bureau.
Professor Moore admitted he had waited
for several days in some timidity before
"attempting to pay his respects" to Mr.
Taft. Mr. Moore had his explanation,
which he brought to a climax with all
sorts of proof that no such "highs" and
"lows" ever before produced such a snow
storm.
The "Original Roosevelt Club" from
St. Paul, under the guidance of Hugh T.
Halbert, 75 strong, was accorded a warm
reception by Mr. Taft in the east room.
The British Ambassador and Mrs. Bryce
paid their respects to the President and
Mrs. Taft today, as did Governor Ide, of
the Philippines.
Present Xew Attorney-General.
WASHINGTON. March 8. Attorney
General Wlckersham was today formally
presented to the Supreme Court of the
United States by Solicitor-General Hoyt.
The ceremony was simple and brief.

There Is no pianist now before the

that characterizes Josef Lhevinne, who
will play at the Heilig Theater on Tues

Lhevinne brings something new, some

Y NEW PUSH CLUB FORMED
Kffort Will Bo Made to Ketain Steel
i
Rrldge Whore It Is. ,
The Steel Bridge Push Club was or
ganized last night at the Clarno Hotel,
on Holladay avenue, by adopting a con
stitution and by-laws and electing the
following officers: President, Francis
Clarno; vice-president, L. D. Cole; sec
retary, E. H. Mills; treasurer, MJss. C.
M. Sherer. The object of the club is
to retain the railroad bridge on Its
present location and If this cannot be
done, then to ask that an anoroach to
the bridge on its new location be built
to the foot of Holladay avenue. Mr.
Clarno said It was contemplated to re
move the railroad bridge to Oregon
and Flanders streets, which, unless
there was an approach from the foot
of Holladay avenue, would ruin the
avenue for business purposes.
H. C. King in a vigorous talk de
clared that the railroad bridge ought
not be removed from its present loca
tion and that the people had the power
to prevent this, lie submitted a reso
lution to the effect that the club spare
no effort to retain the bridge at Holla
day avenue, which was carried.
It was the sentiment of the club that
the city has power to compel the rail
road company to rebuild on the present
location, or If the bridge is built at
Oregon street, two blocks south from
Holladay avenue, to require an ap
proach to be built from the foot of the
avenue to the bridge. J. It; Rankin, H.
C. King and M. J. MacMahon were ap
pointed to make careful Investigation
into all phases of the situation and re
port at a meeting next Monday night,
There was a large attendance.

sisted for a time on her earnings as a
stenographer for O'Bryan. O'Bryan en
trusted J260 to Mrs. Gorton to pay
drafts while he was absent from the
city. Caplin Is said to have forced
the woman to get the money from the
Bafe, and go with htm to Portland,
where he started a ladies tailoring es
tablishment. Subsequently he became
enamoured of another woman, and
asked Mrs. Gorton to leave him. Later
he turned her over to the Portland po'

stood Speaker Cannon will be present.
Is one of the latest developments In the
maneuvers preliminary to the fight on

The "insurgents'' also are preparing
a preliminary move. Representative
Davis, of Minnesota, declared today
that the plan for obtaining changes In

election of the Speaker. Other "Insur

no fight against Mr. Cannon, but that
their efforts will be concentrated on
a plan to vote down the motion for the
usual previous Question on the motion
to adopt the rules of the 60th Congress.
It Is understood that Speaker Cannon

BOARD IBHTSTEPOBTS
SCHOOTj INSPECTORS. OUILL.ED
BY DIRECTORS.
Statement of Alleged Filthy Condi
tions at Ockley Green Calls
Down Wrath on Their Heads.
"Its an outrage," "It Is without any
foundation whatever In Tact," and "Of
course, school inspectors have to say
something sensational to earn their sal
aries." were statements' made by Chair
man Wittenberg, Director J. v. Beach
and City Superintendent Rigler during a
session of the Board of Education yes
terday afternoon, when the subject of
alleged filthy conditions in the Ockley
Green School was under consideration.
Mr. Wittenberg called up the matter
when two Janitors from other schools
were reported as having resigned. "I'd
like to have the resignation of that Ock
ley Green Janitor," commented Mr. Wit
tenberg. "Well, there's absolutely no
foundation. In fact, for that charge,"
replied Superintendent Rigler.
"The report of the school inspector was
based upon hearsay," declared City Su
perintendent Rigler. "He never saw
the janitor clean a mop in the drinklng
basin. as alleged In his report to the
Boar.d of Health some time ago, and It
is an outrage that he did so. for it is a
great injustice to the school, and espe
cially to the Janitor. The matter was
given great prominence in the newspa
pers, but the statement of the principal
of the school, denying the whole thing,
wa not displayed, and it has worked
a great wrong. I think It might be
better if the inspectors were working
under the instructions and supervision of
this Board."
"Oh. well, the Inspectors have to say
something sensational occasionally." re
marked Director J. V. Beach. "Otherwise
people would think they are not earning
their salaries. The only trouble la there
are not enough Inspectors; they only have
four, and they should have a half
dozen."
"As to the suggestion of Superin
tendent Rigler." said Chairman Witten
berg. "I will say that I prefer to let the
Inspectors work from tho office of the
Board of Health, and then they have
so much better opportunity, you see. to
keep oversight of us; to see that we are
doing our work properly. Let's Just
leave them alone."
VThe great difficulty with the In
spectors," said Superintendent Rigler,
"is that they seem to think it their duty
to make some startling discovery fre
quently and to give their findings to the
press. It would not bo so bad If they
would bo careful and be sure they are
right before making their reports "
Dr. Abele last night said:
"The report must stand, although, since
the matter became public, the principal
of the school has asserted to me that
he told me In a Joking way that the
Janitor wrung the mop in the sinks. I
based my report on the statement of the
principal, who now turns it off as a Joke;
and In the light It now appears, the re
port was a mistake. But, leaving aside
the mop, the sinks were filthy, and if
the mop was not wrung In them, they
looked as though they had not been
washed for months." -
KNIFE FOR LUMBER DUTY
(Continued From First raire.
Ls to have the hide and leather schedule
fixed in conference after the questions
have been thoroughly threshed out on the
floor of the House, In the Senate finance
committee and on the floor of the Sen
ate. Policy of Democrats.
Champ Clark, the House mlnorltv
leader. passed considerable time today
with Representative Underwood in lay
ing out the plan to be followed by th
minority In- its fight in the Houpe. It
is understood that the Democratic pol
icy will be to criticise the Republican
bill and offer amendments to it. They
will favor a tariff for revenue rather
than a free trade policy.
It Is expected that by Wednesday the
entire measure will be In type.
It has been learned on unquestionable
authority that, because of tha placing of
hidcM on the free list, the duty on shoes
will be considerably reduc?d.
While no figures were obtainable regard,
ing the steel schedule, it was ald. on the
same authority, that a substantial reduc
tion in the diity on steel rails, tools and
similar products is provided for.
A duty of 4 cents a. pound on coffee is
levied. This Is bjway of compromise with
the Porto RIcana. who demanded a tax
of 6 cente a pound.
Whisky and beer will remain as they
are at present, If the subcommittee rec
ommendations are enacted into law. It
was felt that whisky was already carry
ing all the tax it could stand, while In
the case of beer the prohibition move
ment throughout the country, it- was ex
plained, had cut down the consumption
of beer and it was felt that It would be
a hardship to impose any further tax.
Stamp and Inheritance Taxes.
It Jiaving become manifest to the com
mittee that the customs duties under the
new bill would not produce the revenue
expected. It turned to the expedient of
reviving the war revenue act of U9S.
which placed a tax on telegrams, bank
checks, playing cards and all stocks
bought or gold. That feature of the war
revenue act la Incorporated in the tariff
measure as drafted, it Is said.
A matter perplexing to the commit
tee is that of placing a tax on In
heritance. President Taft wants It. it
Is declared, and Is pressing the com
mittee to take action all along that
line. It Is predicted that the commit
tee will yield to the President's wUhes.
Hurry Vp Senate's Work.
Mr. Taft is seeking to have a copy of
tlx. bill delivered to the Senate com
mittee on finance before the special
session begins. In order that the mem
bers may begin work on It at once.
He believes much time would be saved
thus, and the extra session materially
curtailed.
CLOTHES TO COST MORE
WOOLEX 1UXG FORCES VP COST

R. M. Gray Returns IVora Eastern
Business Trip llrimrul of
Prosperity Talk.
That there will be a general advance
of at least 15 per cent on the present
prices ruling for commodities, with par
ticular reference to- both men's and
women's clothing, was the statement
made, after due deliberation, last night
by R M. Gray, a Morrison-street clothier.
Mr. Gray, who has Just returned from a
trip East, based his views from data lur
nished him by the manufacturers, who
stated that owing to the unusually heavy
demand for woolens, the ring controlling
the Industry was able to raise its prices
15 per cent to the clothing manufacturers.
Mr. Gray said this had been already put
into force against the factories buying
their supplies for next Fail and that
eventually the raise would reach the
"inan-ln-the-street."
"The Impression everywhere prevalent."
he said, "is that the election of President
Taft means continued prosper!?. In our
greatest times of irosp?rlty, there has
not been such an optimistic feeling openly
expressed by men of all political affilia
tions. The merchants last year bought
on a very conservative basis and now
finding It necessary to replenish their
depleted stocks, are giving the manu
facturers orders which are actually de
clined. This great demand has made the
manufacturer, in his turn. lavish with
orders, which, being greater than the
woolen and cotton people can supplv. has
enabled them to advance prices 15 per
cent and that is a conservative estimate.'
"Reading and thinking somewhat along
economic lines. I believe the advance in
the price of commodities will be met by
the increased prosperity prevalent. Cer
tainly In New York one did not meet
anyone with any doubts on the subject.
"I was very much impressed by the
tremendous travel westward. We were
compelled to wire three days ahead to
get reservations at Chicago, and even
then every berth was occupied.
"One somewhat extraordinary feature
I encountered was the weather conditions
prevalent in New York. It would seem
. .N,eW York ls not to nav any Win-Jh-J
!.yfaJ frm the m,ld conditions
there. At Ardmore-on-the-Hudson women
were bare-headed and wearing lt
Summer frocks."
