Mnch-Csed Article.
"WASHINGTON. April 11. Reci
procity with Canada and a farmers
frea list, it wti decided at the Demo
cratic caucus held here tonight, will
be the legislation taken nv In the order
named by tlia present Houae of Repre
sentatives. Tha woolen and cotton
schedules, according to present Inten
tion, will follow.
In the caucus there waa no oppo
sition to Canadian reciprocity and ro
chane or amendment to tha bill aa
presented by Chairman Underwood, of
tne waya and means committee, were
offered by any of those present.
On tha free list will be Included
those things which the farmer needs
most, namely. agricultural Implements,
dressed meat and meat products, floor,
rough lumber, boots, shoes and sad
dles, wire fencing, baling wire, cotton
bagging, cotton ties, bagging ties, bur
lap and salt
On many of these products the pres
ent tariff la practically prohibitive
and there are few Importations on that
account. It Is Impossible, for this rea
son, to estimate what tha difference
will amount to by putting them on tb
free list.
The caucus voted a straight Indorse
ment of the Underwood reciprocity bill.
Ill ayes. : noea and six voting pres
ent. Tha caucus added a provision to the
Underwood reciprocity bill calling on
tha President to continue negotiations
with Canada with a view to establish
ing further reciprocal trade relations.
Fitzgerald. New York, fought this pro.
vision, but ha waa voted down.
In the debate which followed Under
wood's presentation of the general plan.
a disposition developed on tha part of
several members to demand that. tha
Canadian reciprocity and tha free list
bills be combined. Rucker of Colorado
and Sherley of Kentucky led In efforta
to override tha majority, but tha pro
gramme of tha ways and means com
mittee waa generally supported.
It Is probable the Canadian bill will
ba Introduced Thursday. Its Introduc
tion and tha farmers' free list bill as
rancna measures will not stand In tha
way of Immediate Introduction of three
other Important Measures popular
elections of Senators, publicity before
election of campaign contrlbutlona and
statehood for Arliona and New Mexico
These are not to be treated as caucus
measures, but will come In as party
bills and will be taken np for action
as eoon aa they can ba reported from
their committees.
Another caucua la to be held to de
bate tha revision of tha wool and cotton
schedules to be taken up In the House,
following the passage of the reciprocity
and free list bills.

reth. member of a millionaire New York
family. August Mathias. his secretary,
shared his fate. Diplomatic Interven
tion secured their release after 20 days

ner in the Allcock Manufacturing Com
pany, of New York. He explained that
Mr. Brandreth had found himself tem
porarily without money and waa un
able to pay his hotel bill. The hotel
proprietor asked him to leave, which
he did. stopping with a friend. The
hotelkeeper later denounced him to the
police and charged that he had bor
rowed money under false pretenses.

in spite of protests, was sentenced to
two years' imprisonment as a vagrant.

over the affair, and announce their
readiness to make an ample official ex
pression of regret and pecuniary com
pensation If desired.

The Judge who had charge of the
case says the fault in the delay lies
with the New York authorities. While

of the prison.
