TARIFF BOARD COMES NEXT
Illinois Senator AInwt Sore to Win
Reciprocity May Still Compel
Extra Session Tarltr Board
Not Off Rock.
WASHINGTON-. Feb. The arree
Rent of the Striate, reported shortly
after ( o'clock tonlKht. to rots at 1:30
K M. tomorrow on the resolution to
unseat laorlrner of Illinois and to make
"unfinished business" of the bill to cre
ate a permanent tariff board, mater
lally Improred the legislative situation.
This Improvement does not by any
means wipe oat the probability of an
extra session of Congress, but It fare a
ray of hope which was seised upon
. eaxerly by the advocates of Canadian
reciprocity.
The storm clouds. which huns;
menacingly low through an all-night
session last night, lifted materially
late today and. when the adjournment
was taken shortly after o'clock I.
11-. until 11 o'clock to morrow, there
was a promise of a further dearies; of
the legislative skies. After a aay 01
constant search for a basis or agree
meat, the pro-Lorlmer Senators, most
of them opposed to the tariff board.
and the pro-tariff board Senators, most
of there opposed to Irlmer. -got to
get her" In a modus Vivendi which
cleared the situation and obviated the
Impending danger of another night ses
sion.
So there will be a rote tomorrow aft
ernoon on Lo rimer's ease and there Is
little reason to doubt that It will- sus
tain Lortmer.
Tariff Board Likely to Win.
The tariff board bill la at least In
a materially Improved position. The
vote of 33 to 11. by which It was made
the unfinished business, would Indi
cate that, should It com to a vote, the
bill would be passed by a substantial
majority. Some go so far as to say
It will receive the entire Kepubltcan
rote of the Senate.
Uale gave notice be would attempt
to put five appropriation bills through
the Senate tomorrow afternoon and
evening. These are the agricultural,
the postofflce. the diplomatic and con
sular, the fortifications and the m'll
tary academy supply measures.
As a part of the arrangement clear
Ing up the situation It virtually waa
agreed that the proposed Increased
ratea on postage on .the large maga
sines would be dropped from the post
office bill, ending the possibility of a
filibuster on that measure. It also
waa said soma other seriously con
troverted Items In appropriation bills
likely to cause delsy would be elim
inated. If Hale's programme is carried out to
morrow, and there is every reason to
believe It will be. the Senate will be
left with only the sundry civil, the
naval and the general deficiency appro
priation bills to dispose of.
Several speeches on divers topics
were sandwiched In among the confer
ences. Stone spoke for two and a half
hours against Lorlmer. whom he criti
cised for not testifying before the in
vestigating committee instead of re
serving his defense for the Senate. lie
went Into a detailed analysis of the
evidence.
Young. Ilg at Bourne.
Toucg. of Iowa, followed with an
attack on the reciprocity bill from the
farmer's standpoint. lie made several
witty sallies, saying that there were
members of Congress who never saw
farms except when they passed through
the country In automobiles or limited
trains.
"Formerly all bats went off to the
farmer." said Mr. Toung. "but now his
toll Is unappreciated. He Is looked
upon complacently. He is mainly
thourht to live la Kansas and to wear
whiskers."
He called the agreement a calamity
and placed the blame on the Insurg
ents, who. he said, "took the commer
cial lives of their constituents Into
their hands and went forth to battle,
as I think, for their personal ends."
Toung referred to the speech of
Bourne, of Oregon, last night, assail
ing President Taft. and saying he had
tried to coerce Senators and Kepre
stntatlvea through political patron
age. "My friend from Oregon." said
Toung. "declaimed against the great
polllK-al boss and proclaimed the death
of political liberty, fte didn't say Just
whan this death was to occur. I want
to tell him that we have today the
greatest political liberty in this coun
try since the landing of Columbus.
"Why. Mr. -President, we have 47 dif
ferent varieties of Republicans alone
and the returns are not all in yet. The
Democratic varieties will be discovered
after the new Congress meets."
I'pon the conclusion of his speech,
which frequently provoked laughter.
Toung gave way to Senator Gronna.
who spoke on reciprocity. He com
plained that the farmers bad been
sacrlnced to other Interests, that the
agreement had been negotiated in the
Hark and that there was an Implied
threat In the demand that It be passed.
Speaking In support of the tariff
board bill. New-land said he would not
object to any appointments the Presi
dent might make, since he had ap
pointed White. Lurton and Lamar to
the Supreme Court.

In reference to Mr. Sheehan a candi

"What does Murphy keep pushing

H- knows he can get SO votes, but
what good are they If It won t mean aa

"Tammany la In the wrong to expect
to wheel all the men into line without
discussing the situation thoroughly, and
I say that the welfare of the party, the

HIGH PROFITS ALLOWABLE
Commission Holds Road May Some
time Earn Abnormal Ratea.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 28. A notable
principle waa laid down today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in a
derision In the rase of Railroad Com
missioners of Iowa against the Illinois
Central Railroad and other carriers. In
brief, the Commission holds:
"The net revenues of a carrier have
often an undoubted Important bearing
on the question of the reasonableness
of Its rates, but the fact that they are
greater than the returns on ordinary
business enterprises Is not sufficient in
itself to Justify a finding that the rates
are excessive. The value of the service
and other factors that enter into the
construction of rates also must be
taken Into consideration."
In this case the complainant urged
that a fare of 30 cents charged by the
defendant lines for the transportation
of passengers over the bridge of the
Dunleith & Dubuque Bridge Company
between Dunleith or East Dubuque, In
Illinois, and Dubuque, la., was ex
cessive and discriminatory..
The Commlesion holds that the rate
Is not excessive "when viewed from the
standpoint of all the carriers partici
pating in the traffic"
