Revision of the wool schedule of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law. accomplished as forming; part of the programme of the Demo cratic House of Representatives, will have to be undertaken without the as sistance of tUe tariff board. It was announced, today after the first full meeting; of the House com mittee on ways and means that the tar lff board Is not yet In a position to fur ni.h information on the wool schedule. The board has Informed Chairman l'nderwood that it has unanimously de cided that submission of the Incom plete data on wool-a-rowVna. now in Its possession, would bs misleading; and unfair to the board. The work of Inquiry Into the cost of production of domestic wool has been practically completed for the country east of the Mississippi. Reports from Texas. Minnesota. Arizona. Ctah.

Encour aged by the smooth working; of their new Legislative machine, which today brgsn to grind. Democratic leaders of the House planned to extend their tar iff revision programme. Until now the only tariff tinkering; determined upon Included Canadian reci procity, the free list to benefit farmers opposed to the reciprocity bill as It stands, and the wool and ootton sched ules, but now It has been determined to revise the agricultural schedule. Chairman L'nderwood. of the waya and means committee, said the House at the present rate would complete the business outlined much earlier than generally anticipated. The agricultural schedule will be at tacked by the Democrats because of the high cost of living; and an effort will be made to reduce the duties on those food products that are most necessary to the public HOUSE FOR DIRECT BALLOT fContlnoed From First Page.) amendment should be offered without any language that might be dangerous to the future Congressional supervision of Senatorial elections. Insurgents Force Record Vote. Democratic leadera declared that the Rucker resolution was open to no such construction, and that It offered the most nearly perfect constitutional amendment that could be devised. An amendment offered by Young of Mich igan, adding language that resembled that of the Sutherland amendment, adopted In the 6enate two months ago. waa defeated by a party vote 111 to 10. The Republican Insurgents, led by Lenroot and Cooper of Wisconsin, forced a record on the final passage of the resolution. The House voted over whelmingly in favor of the measure, when Speaker Clark called for the viva voce vote, but the Insurgents demanded a roll call In order to put the House on record. The Democrats quickly sec onded this demand. It was a day of lively debate. Prac tically every man who spoke favored the direct election amendment. The differences arose mainly over the form of the resolution and constitutional argument on whether the powers of the Federal Government were In any way threatened. New members Jumped Into the fray with enthusiasm. I .a fieri y Jumps to Front. 1-afferty of Oregon was a prominent figure among these, and told the House at the beginning that he was an in surgent Republican and proposed to support any good nieaeure without re gard to collUcs.

Informed the House that the Legislature of Rhode Island did not represent the people of that state; that his state was the vlc tlme of archaic laws and a moribund constitution," and that he hoped the amendment for direct election of Sen ators would be a short cut across lots that would give the people of poor downtrodden Rhode Island those privi leges that had been taken from them by moth-eaten charters." . Baker of California. Tiibbls or Georgia, and other new members figured In the debate. Inturgrnts Find Fault. Norrls of Nebraska. Cooper of Wis consin, and other leading Republican Insurgents declared that everybody favored the general idea, and that the Democrats did wrong to couple with It language that might create doubt In the minds of voters and among mem bers of the State Legislatures as to the powers that were actually being surrendered by the Federal Govern ment. Chairman Rucker. with the approval of his Democratic colleagues, urged the House to defeat any amendments to the resolution. He admitted that the report on the resolution had been avail able to examination only about SO min utes, but said that the whole subject bad been threshed out time after time for 40 years. LEARNING NO HANDICAP SCHOLARS CAN SUCCEED IN POLI TICS, SAYS CLARK. Speaker Knoourases Them to Kntcr Democratic Ranks, and Says Era Is Fortunate. WASHINGTON. April 13, Scholar ship acorn pan ied by common sense will enable a college man to win success In politics, but scholarship alone is of lit tle avail. This was Speaker Clark's advice to the college Men's Democratic League at Its meeting tonight In celebration of the birthday anniversary of Thomas Jefferson. Addresses also were made by Warren Jefferson Davis, of Virginia,- president of the league: Thomas lson Page and Representative James Ilamlu. of New Jersey. Mr. Clark extended a welcome to col lege men to enter Democratic poll- tics" and deplored the fact that "It is fashionable In this country to sneer at the "scholar in politics. " "I am rather inclined to think." Mr. Clark said, "that this Is only an exer cise of the humorous faculty which is almost universal In America. It la Incredible that there ever should be. Is now or ever will be any general prejudice against learning or learned men. The scholar in politics is all right, but a pedant Is ridiculous, whether In politics or out of it." Mr. Clark contrasted the opportuni ties In politics today with those of 60 years ago. saying: Young men of America oi tnis cay. collegians and non-colleglans. come upon the scene In a fortunate era. This la the day of great things. It is the age of the world's In tensest activity and highest development. SALESMAN J3ENIES GUILT Barnes Saya He Did Not Force Way Into Woman's Slecplnff-Car Berth.

CONFIDENCE HELD IN TAFT Maryland Democrat Ridicules Idea, That Japan Wants Island of Guam, Which He Says, Is Not Worth Much. . Tt- icuivc.TfiV Aorll 1J. The first sxprssslon In Congress concerning; the situation on the Mexican border was heard today when Senator Kajroer. qi Maryland, addressed the Senate on that subject. Although a Democrat, Mr. Rayner spoke In confidence o Presi dent Taft. and expressed the opinion that there would be no war with either Japan or Mexico. While he did not so express nm" in exact terms. It was evident that Mr. Rarner bad In mind the reports tnat Japan is exerting; herself to procure a coaling; station on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. He said: "I am willing; to admit that if japan is entering; into negotiations for coal Ins; stations and bases for naval sup plies for military purposes with Mex ico, we are entitled to know what these negotiations are. Congress is. however, without any Information or evidence on the subject. This country would not ordinarily hp entitled to know the secret treaties or alliances that other countries may make, but on the part of Mexico we unquestionably would be entitled to an explanation." War Is Xot Sought. He was confident that Japan does not seek war with the United States, and, declared there could be no cause for hostilities between the two countries.

Curtis Guild, Jr. WASHINGTON. April 1J. Two Important appointments to the Diplo matic Corps were made by President Taft today, when the nominations of William W. Rockhlll. as Ambassador t o Turkey, and Curtis Guild. Jr.. as Am bassador to Russia, were sent to the S enate. Since 190J Mr. Rockhlll has been U nlted States Ambassador to ttussia ana is a veteran in the corps. He was th e representative or tne unnea ocaies at the congress in Pekln for the settle ment of the Boxer troubles in 1901. be ing one of the signers of the final pro tocol September 7 of that year. Mr. Ruckhlll is a Phlladelphlan. an d began his diplomatic career aa sec ond secretary of the American legation in Pekln In 1884. He made two ex peditions to China and Thibet under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institu tion: -sraa Flrt Assistant Secretary of Mate from 1S to ana servea as Minister to Greece. Roumania and Serv ia and to China before bis sppolntment to St. Petersburg. Curtis Oulld. Jr ex-Governor of Massachusetts, the new AmDassaaor to Russia. Is a new member of the diplomatic Corp. He Is proprietor of the Riston Commercial Rulletin. founded by his father. He served on General Kltshugh Lee's staff as Inspector-Gener al during the Spanish-American war. and was conuuasusd for bis work, lie has been prominent in Kepuoucan pon tics. session of the Island of Guam for a cable station, he declared that, if such was the purpose, it could not be Justi fied under international law. He found In Guam usefulness . only as a cable base, and, speaking sarcastically of the island, said: "Guam is a charming- spot, and one of the most lustrous and brilliant Jew els In our Oriental galaxy. Its princi pal products are vipers, snakes, lizards, wild swine, rats and castor oil, and If the Island were put up at auction to day, with all of the Inhabitants in It, beyond Its value as a military post, it woild not bring a dollar and a half in any of the markets of the world." Monroe Doctrine Discussed. Much of the Maryland Senator's speech was devoted to the contention that the Monroe doctrine Is not In volved in the Mexican situation. Quot ing authorities to show that the orig inal Monroeism looked only to the pre vention of the establishment of new monarchical institutions in the West ern Hemisphere, he sought to discredit the position in relation to the collec tion of claims against Western nations taken during the Roosevelt, adminis tration in the Santo Domingo contro versy. This he characterized as the "Roosevelt doctrine," rather than the Monroe doctrine. At the conclusion of Mr. Rayner's ad dress. Senators Lodge and Cullom took occasion to confirm the Maryland Sen ator's statement regarding the improb ability of a misunderstanding between the United States and Mexico. "I have examined the official cor respondence with care and I have been unable to discover any allusion to Japan." said Mr. Lodge, "and so far as I am able to Judge, the reports in the press are a mere fabrication. Confessing Ignorance as to the mo tive for the circulation of these re ports, he expressed the opinion that there was strong Interests back of them. Saying that he, too, had examined the Mexican correspondence. Senator Cul lom expressed the opinion "that there Is not a scintilla of truth In the re ports Involving Japan." . AIM TO DISCREDIT HINES (Continued From First Pare.) with Charles Ward, of Duquoln, and John I. Hughes, of Chicago, in a Springfield hotel in the Spring of 1909. He was asked if he was in a room In the hotel about this time when a bag or satchel was displayed containing 130,00 or 135,000- In money. The witness said he had no recollec tion of any such occurences. Mr. Hettler said he met Hlnes in the Union League Club In Chicago on May 20, 1909. Illnes Brags. of Success. - T stepped In the Union League Club on the day of Senator Lorlmer's elec tion," said Mr. Hettler. "I was leaving Chicago for a trip to Toronto. As I waa buying some cigars, I felt a tap on my shoulder, I looked around and saw Mr. Hlnes. 'Mr. Hlnes waa apparently elated. He said. 1 have Just had a phone call from Springfield and I have elected, our next Senator.' Mr. Hlnes . waa emphatic In his statement that he personally had effected the election of Mr. Lorlraer. "I was not Interested in the Senato rial fight and with a view of changing the subject, I brought up the subject of the tariff. . "Mr. Hlnes said he had been having a great time in Washington and that he (Hlnes) had beaten President Taft on the tariff." Mr. Hettler declared under cross-examination that Mr. Hines had said nothing in regard to money or the use of Improper methods In the election of Lorlmer. "I simply took Mr. Hlnes' actions on the day that I met him In the Union League Club as an outburst of personal vanity or egotism. He was bragging more or less about the election of Mr. Lorlmer." Ilines Admits Raising 3Ioney. K. B. Coan. special investigator for the Senate bribery committee, told of talking with Frank J. Russell. Robert C. Lowe, E. D. Moser, Rush Culver and Shelby B. Jones on a recent trip to Mar quette, .Mich. Coan said that he had obtained affidavits from, the first three of the five men. The Investigator stated that these men said they had met Edward Hlnes In the Marquette Hotel In the Summer of 1909, and that Hlnes had boasted of "putting over" William Lorlmer as Senator from Illi nois. , "Mr. Jones refused to make an affi davit." said Mr. Coan. "but he told sub stantially the same story as the other men." According to this story, Hlnes, while, drinking with these piarq.uetta ( men, declared that he had financed the election of Lorlmer and personally had raised a large sum of money to effect this election. Attorney Healey then read an affi davit from Frank J. Russell. This affidavit stated that Hines had declared "we put Lorlmer over and It cost us a lot of money, but he is well worth. all of it to us." The affidavit further stated that this conversation resulted from ,a discus sion of the tariff on lumber. Lowe's affidavit, which was next read, stated that Hines had declared the rea son for raising the $100,000 fund to elect Lorlmer was to assure a high tariff on lumber. Cheekier Can't Remember. William Checkly. postmaster at Mat toon, 111., said he . discussed Lorlmer's election with various members of the Legislature. He was asked if ex-Representative Carl Burgett, a friend of Checkly, had ever spoken of receiving money for having voted for Lorlmer. "He did not." replied Checkly. The witness said he had no recollec tion of any conversation in which any members of the Legislature told him that he received money to vote for Lorlmer. Ex-Senator Cyril R. Jandus. of Chicago testified that he was a Democrat and had voted for Lorlmer for Senator. He related that in June. 1909. he was In State Senator John Broder lck's saloon on West Madison street. Chicago, where he met ex-State Senator Holtalaw. He was questioned at length regarding his personal finances. Missouri to Fix Express Rates. JEFFERSON CITf, Mo., April 13.
