Because or the delay in settling tha augar schedule the committee may not be ready to introduce the bill on Mon day.

A provision of the measure is tnat It shall become effective on midnight of the day on which It Is signed by tha President. This provision, and the fact that ihe measure will be a blanket bill, ncludlng the Income tax. when it comes from the committee, strengthens ths probability that It will be considered in Congress as one measure. Instead of being taken up schedule by schedula. This method. It is said, almost certainly IU follow if there is an agreement between the President and Senate and House leaders as to the rates.

Leading Senators predicted today that there would be no Important matters unsettled when the bill Is Introduced in the House. This situation, unique In tariff revi sion of recent years.

Cold stor age warehouses were defended here in speeches today at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political ar.d Social Science which was called to discuss the cost of llvtug. At the close of the afternoon session. F. G. L'rner and Frank A. Porne, both of New York, although not on the pro gramme, were called to the platform and in vigorous talks defended the practice of storing commodities In cold torago warehouses. They declared that the practice was a benefit to the public, insofar that It protected the people from a shortage of food and rom excessive prices. As an example. both said that through the storage of butter and eggs the people of tha coun try had been supplied throughout the ast w Inter with these foodstuffs at reasonable prices. William T. Creasy, master of the Pennsylvania State Grange.' aroused enthusiasm when In beginning his ad- res on the cost of living said: "We on the farms are In favor of killing hirkena and eating them within 24 hours." Mr. Creasy said that one of the high costs that entered Into production of foodstuffs was the scarcity of farm elp. He said that farm laborers left the country for the cities, where they btalned better pay. Mr. Creasy added that tha farmer, as well as the city dweller, feit the high cost of living, and that part of the increased cost of living was due to waste and extravagance.

Incident of Dr. David Jayne Hill Recalled, as Test of "a Man and a Society" Merit of Xew eomer la Recognized. LONDON. April 4. The Nation, a weekly newspaper ot Liberal tenden cles. deals at length this week with the "Interesting experiment which presi dent Wilson haa made in his appoint ment of Walter Hines Page as Am bassador to the Court of St. James. "In offering the London Embassy to Mr. Page." the Nation says. "President Wilson haa made an interesting experi ment. He has boldly reverted to the scholar diplomat as the type of man most aualiiied to represent the United States sbroad. In doing so he has paid a silent but striking compliment to the good sense of the British people. Me has assumed that what we most value in an American Ambassador is not his wealth and his ability to lavish it on magnificent houses and huge entertain ments. but his personality ana hi achievements and the extent to which he brines with him the true flavor of American lite. Dr. Hill's Situation Recalled. The Nation declares that President Roosevelt tried the same experiment ith Dr. David Jayne Hill. former American Ambassador to Germany. After a description of Dr. Hill's previ ous career, the Nation says: 'Dr. Hills predecessor was Mr. Charlemagne Tower, a gentleman of great wealth. He was prodigal of fetes and receptions. He leased the finest house in the capitol and greatly pleased the Emperor by the splendor he was able to maintain. The change was, as Mr. Roosevelt intended It to be, a thorough ore. It was an appeal from the eccentric, commercialised Berlin of today to the city of plain living: and high thinking of a generation ago. There Is no need to xo into the de tails of the unhappy, but luminattng sequel. When the Emperor learned that, whatever Dr. Hill's other qualifi cations for the post were, his private means would permit him to maintain only a modest establishment and that tha days or splash and glitter were over. It was one of those incidents that revealed a man and a society. Neither the Emperor nor Berlin came out of It with credit.-' Held Chiefly K no via for Wealth. Remarking that the last three Amerl. can Ambassadors to London were wealthy men. the Nation continues: In Mr. Hay's case and In Mr. Choate s, the circumstances counted for little or nothing in enabling them to win the position they came to hold in British society and public life. It was thrown into its proper Insignificance by the at tractiveness of their other endowments. But It would be absurd to pretend that the late Mr. Whltelaw Reid was quite as successful In disguising the fact that be waa a millionaire. The Nation then pays tribute to Mr. Reld'a previous public career and continues: He had a great fondness and talent for society, much versatility and in gratiating manner: but it was as a man of unusual wealth that he was chiefly known both In America and In Great Britain and his Ambassadorship was distinguished beyond all others by the highly elaborate scale on which he preferred to live. Spectacle Held Ineontrrnous. "To many Englishmen nnd not a few Americans there was something Incon gruous in the spectacle of a representa tive of the United States a republic still supposed to be dedicated to Jet fersonlan simplicity Inhabltatlng the most splendid mansion In London and maintaining considerably more than a ducal state. "President Wilson was right in thinking from the American, even more han the British, standpoint that there should be a revision to the Bancroft, Washington Irving and Lowell type that even In these spendthrift days wealth is not essential In a nominee to the London Embassy. We welcome and honor that demonstration. It fits in with one's conception of what America should be and at her best really Is, and it may not be without its usefulness In restoring to Ixndon society a more Just sense of values." Tne Nation warmly welcomes Mr. Pace as an American who. it says, will gain much and suffor nothing by com ing to the London Embassy simply on his own merits a a citizen and a serv ant of the republic. The Weekly Spectator also extends a cordial welcome to Mr. Page. held from October 7 to II, Inclusive, and plans, are already tinder way to make the meeting the greatest event of the kind ever held here. Tha farmers of the county are taking nnusual interest In the fair this year. Responding to an Invitation of local buslneaa men who are fair-workers, 15 farmers, representing every district In the county, met hero today with The Dalles boosters of the fair, and for the first time in the history of the associa tlon farmers will co-operate with local merchants in the management of th big meeting, and the ranchers are prominent on the commltteea In charge. This co-operation assures success. The last Legislature killed the old appropriation of JJ1500 for each fair district of the state and passed a new law whereby each county Is allowed one-twentieth of a mill of its assessed valuation for maintaining; an annual fair. This will amount to about $900 here. The Wasco County Court has come to the rescue and will approprl ate a substantial sum for premiums, which will more than offset the loss of money resulting from the new legisla tlon, and bigger purses for races and more money for premiums will be hung up than ever before. BUDGET IS CONSIDERED PLAN PROPOSED BT TAFT IS LIKED BV YVILSOX. Efficiency and Economy Commission Instituted by Predecessor Will Be Continued. WASHINGTON. April 4. The effl ciencsy and economy committee created by President Taf t will be continued un der the Wilson Administration. Mr. Wilson had a conference tonight with F. A. Cleveland, head of the commis sion; Louis D. Brandeis. or Boston; John P.

Mr. Wilson had a similar committee in New Jersey when he was Governor. The same visitors talked with ths President about the budget syBtem and the government of the City of Wash Ington. The President always haa fa vored a budget system and there is every likelihood that the Economy Commission will be asked to work out a comparative basis for budget legis lation. Mr. Mitchell and Dr. Bruere brought a memorandum on the establishment of model government for the City of Washington. The President indi cated a keen interest in the proposals, SAMUEL L. LOVELL IS DEAD Former Oregon Militia Colonel Dies While Serving Prison Term. SEATTLE. Wash.. April 4. Samuel L.

Attack Made While Children Collect Firewood and Stick Is Only Weapon at Hand. EVERETT. Wash., April 4. (Spe cial.) News reached here today of the courageous act of the nine-year-old daughter of Sam EnUk, a full-blooded Indian, who attempted to beat off a nine-foot cougar by wielding a puny stick on the brute as he tore at her little brother's eye. It may be that the heroic act of the girl has saved the little boy's life, but so terrible is his injury that the outcome cannot be predicted- Sam Enick and his family live zo miles above Darrington, on the Suiat- tle River, a sparsely settled region that teems with big game. Last Fri day, says the Indian, who came to Ev erett today to collect his bounty money, his seven-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter left the house to procure firewood. In a few mo ments Enick says he heard a scream from his daughter that caused him to rush to her assistance. As he left the house the Indian saw his boy lying on the ground, while the cougar, holding the child down with one paw, tore at the little fel low's eye and ear. Showing utter dis regard for the danger she placed her self in, the little girl had armed herself with a stick and was beating the brute across its head with all her might. When he had done everything pos sible for the boy, Enick took his rifle, released his hounds and started on the trail. At last he heard his hounds give voice and knew they had treed their quarry. Three shots brought the cou gar dead to Ihe ground. Minneapolis Manufacturer Dies. MINNEAPOLIS, April 4. Spencer E.
