Moment Before Report.
WASHIXGTOX, March 10. It -was
learned authoritatively tonight that the
new tariff bill .which will bo submitted
to tho House at tho special session by
the ways and means committee, will con
tain these recommendations:
Lead and copper, no change; sugar, no
change; Iron ore, placed on free list;
rails and billets, substantially reduced;
pig: iron, 25 per cent reduction; textiles,
graduated tariff on high grade cotton and
silk goods, an Increased tax; on medium
grade, no change; on low grade, a re
duced tariff.
Will Fix Duties Last Thing.
Chairman Payne of the ways and means
committee, is personally revising the pre
liminary draft of the bill, which will
go to the Government printing office this
week. The present plan is to have this
first print made without the rates of
' duty appearing in it. On the night be
fore the bill is Introduced, the rates
will be inserted. No schedule or pro
vision is free from the possibility of
being changed between now and the day
the bill is introduced. At the final meet
ing, at which the bill will be passed on
by the Republican members, every item
will be revised. The bill will probably
first see the light next Tuesday.
Iiuniber Duly Over $1.
The proposition to place a duty on cof
fee is understood to be a matter concern
ing which there is much difference of
opinion in the committee. During its
deliberations the committee placed a duty
on coffee, took it off again, and, as the
Din stan as now, a tax or 4 cents per
pound is provided for.
It is understood the duty on lumber,
while at present fixed at $1, is likely to
be Increased. This is due to the cam
palgn which . the lumbermen have been
making, the result of which has been to
give the committee a vast fund of in
formation from" which to determine an
equitable tax.
How Committeemen Stand.
It is claimed for the Payne tariff bill
that It will be correct theoretically and
while it will afford the best basis from
which to evolve the new tariff law, it
is expected that many changes will be
made before It is finally enacted. The
revision throughout is downward, the
revenue and protection features govern
ing the fixing of all schedules. Kordney
of Michigan has stood out for the highest
proteotlon, while Crumpacker, Indiana,
has favored the lowest duties. Gaines,
"West "Virginia, and Eonynge, Colorado,
have advocated hieh protection, while
the chairman, Payne, and Boutell, " Illi
nois, and Longworth, Ohio, have urged
lower duties. The other members. Hill
of Connecticut, Xeedham of California,
Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Calderhead
of Kansas, have favored protection for
the Interests of their constituents, but
have generally been open to compromise.
Cannon to Speed Passage.
Speaker Cannon and Representative
Vreeland conferred today with the Re
publican members of the committee re
garding the provisions of the bill. Strict
secrecy was maintained, but it was under
stood that the provisions reviving the
.war revenue tax and the inheritance tax
section were thoroughly explained to the
Speaker. Mr. Cannon desired to become
thoroughly familiar with the tariff
measure in order to speed Its passage
through the House In accordance with
the understanding reached at the White
House conference of Monday.
In order to compensate in a measure for
the general reduction of duties provided,
.the sub-committee has incorporated sev
eral provisions to increase the revenues.
These tend to prevent undervaluations
end other methods by.which the ambigu
ity of the Dlngley law is taken advant
age of.
Prevent Appraisement Fraud.
To prevent the practice by which goods
. imported are not assessed at their full
value, a provision has been incorporated,
making it possible for the appraiser to
base the value of articles on to the
American wholesale market prices in connection-
with the wholesale price at the
point of production abroad. This pro
vision states that, in the absence of evi
dence regarding the foreign wholesale
prices the appraisers may assess the ad
valorem duty on a price not less than
the wholesale price In this country, less
the cost of transportation.
'' During the tariff hearings several in
stances were brought to the attention of
'the committee in which Importers com
bined a purchase of two lots of goods,
one of greater and the other of leaser
value, and secured an Invoice by which

1860 and Finally Pays Fare
at Portland Office.
OMAHA, Neb., March 10. (Special. )
Kight dollars and twenty-eight cents, re
ceived a Jew days ago from the agent of
the Burlington Railroad at Portland, Or.,
was passed into the conscience fund to
day. I: came from a former Nebraskan.
a relative of one of Nebraska's fore
most citizens. His name is withheld by
the railroad. He Is an old man with
long whiskers, and as he walked Into the
office of the Burlington at Portland he
remarked that as he was nearlng the end
of life he wished to right the only wrong
that weighed on his conscience.
In the Spring of I860, the old man ex
plained, he had ridden from Hannibal,
Mo., to St. Joseph, Mo., across the state
from east to west, and had allowed the
conductor to pass him without payinjr
fare. It was figured for him that the
distance, -was 207 miles and that at 4
cents a mile the price of the Journey
would be $8.28. He paid the amount and
took a receipt.
Genoral Passenger Agent Wakeley said:
"Forty-nine years is a long time for a
man to carry such a load. This is surely
a record."
General Agent Sheldon, of the Burling
ton offices in Portland, said last night
he Is not at liberty to give the name of
the latest contributor to the conscience
fund.
"The matter was taken up with me by
the man himself in strict confidence,"
said he, "and I cannot discuss It or give
his name. It is not true, though, that he
is a relative of anyone of distinction in
Nebraska."

CHICAGO, March 10. "Not guilty."
Tills is the. result reached today Jn the
Government's famous suit against the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The
suit wherein the defendant company at
one time faced a fine of $29,240,000 at the
hands of Judge Lantlls on a charge of
having accepted rebates from the Chi
cago & Alton Railroad, came to an end
abruptly. Judge Anderson, before whom
the case was brought after reversal by
the Cnlted Stites Court -of Appeals, In
structed the jury to find a verdict of not
guilty.
Sims Had Given I'p Hope.
Judge Anderson's decision was not alto
gether unlooked for, he having previously
announced that the proof relied upon In
the first trial was incompetent and it was
with something of an air of hopelessness
inai jjisinct Attorney aims and his as
sistants attempted to show the admissi
bility of the Illinois classification to prove
the existence of a legal rate of 18 cents.
This was a vital point in the Government
contention. Assistant District Attorney
Wllkerson admitted that the prosecution
could not supply the proof deemed neces
sary and suggested dismissal. John S.
Miller then moved for an Instruction
verdict of not guilty. This was ordered.
The decisions of Judges Grosscup, Baker
and Seaman of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, reversing Judge Landis,
together with the action of the United
States Supreme Court in refusing to re
view the decision of the Court of Ap
peals, played an Important part in dis
posing of the case.
May Push Other Indictments.
As to whether prosecution on seven
other indictments still pending against the
company will be Instituted, Mr. Sims
would not express an opinion, stating
that this rested entirely with the Attorney-General.
,
The decision means that all but two
of the pending indictments against the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana are
.void and will be abandoned by the Gov
ernment. The two cases not affected by
today's decision are cases involving the
shipment of 1915 carloads of oil from
"Whiting. Ind., to Evansville. Ind., via
Dalton Junction, over the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois Railroad.

them Is required.
