TARIFF THIS WEEK Underwood Believes Seeming Obstacles in Way of Action , Will Be Overcome. . METAL SCHEDULE IS UP Pennsylvania Members Accused of FaToring Steel Corporation tj Standing for , Higher Duty on Ferro-Manganesc. WASHINGTON", April 30. "I think we'll finish with the tariff bill in the House by Saturday night," Democratic Leader Underwood said tonight after an all-day debate on the iron and steel schedule. The metal schedule la only the third of the 14 schedules which are followed by the free list, the technicalities of the administrative provisions and the Income tax plan, and many of the mem bers of the House are prepared to see the debate stretch Into next week. Representative Gardner, of Massachu setts, one of the Republican members of the ways and means committee, flo ured on passage of the measure about next Tuesday night, Vnderaood Smilingly Confident. Mr. Underwood, smiling and confi dent, saw nothing to distrub the plan for shifting the scene of the tariff bat tle to the Senate with the opening of next week. The Democratic leader does not be lieve a special rule will be necessary to put the bill through. The plan Is to have the measure adopted within an hour after the reading for amendments has been concluded. All day and again tonight the Demo crats with, their overwhelming major ity bowled over all amendments pro posed by the Republicans and Pro gressives. The ways and means com mittee, however, carried several of Its own amendments, all of a minor char acter, and designed to perfect the classifications. Steel Corporation Favored. The Iron and steel schedule was the particular target of attack and Repre sentative Palmer, of Pennsylvania. In charge of that schedule for the ways and means committee, was frequently reminded from the Republican side of the fact that the Bethlehem Steel Com pany was In his district. Represen tative Mann, of Illinois, the Republican leader, and others charged that the duty on ferro - manganese was dis tinctly in the interest of the United States Steel Corporation with its nu merous subsidiary plants and. that the enhancement of the value of ferro manganese In this country under the proposed advance was sufficient to warrant the Pennsylvania members in definite continuance In Congress. Mr. Mann declared, however, that while he thought the pending bill would be Injurious to the country, he did not believe in "prolonging the agony" unnecessarily and suggested that "as we are to have the passage In the present form the sooner the bet ter." Stanley Arouses Underwood. Personalities were Indulged In sev eral times, particularly in the discus sion of the United States Steel Cor poration holdings In the Minnesota mines, when Representatives Stanley of Kentucky, and Miller of Minnesota engaged in a bitter exchange. Stanley aroused Chairman Underwood with statement that convict labor was em jnoyed in the steel mills of Alabama; that convicts were worked in the mines, and that In some instances corporations had runners around police stations to pick up persons arrested for minor of fenses and send them to the mines. "I want to say," Mr. Underwood de dared. Jumping to his feet, vthat I voted to put Iron ore on the free list, thus affecting my own business, but I can't stand here and listen to a slander of my own constituency." He emphatically denied Mr. Stanley's marges. Representative Austin, of Tennessee (Republican), and Charles M. Schwab had succeeded in getting free Iron ore after trying unsuccess fully to get It from Republican ways and means committees. Hooka and Eyea Start Debate. w nen Kepresentattve itrelder, a new Republican member from Pennsylvania, offered an amendment tonight to put hooks and eyes used in shoe manulac tare on the free list he aroused crlti cism from Representative Palmer, who declared Mr. Kreider was a "shoe manufacturer, the president of the American Shoe Manufacturers' Associa tion, whose amendment will put money into ma own pocxet." Minority Leader Mann replied that if members were to be thus criticised Congressmen from the farms would be prohibited from discussing rates on the agricultural schedule. Mr. Mann also referred to the fact that Majority Leader Underwood, author of the tariff bill, was engaged In the Iron and steel business. He said that Mr. Underwood need not apologize to the House for that or explain It, that he meant no reflection thereby, but Mr. Underwood Answered with a vigorous statement. "If I could not represent my constltu. ency and at the same time the people of the United States without involving myself as a special pleader tor Inter ests In my district I would be un worthy of my position In this House," he said. Metal Schedule Smashed. "I contend that when Representa tives of the people stand in this House exercising the power to tax the people of this country. It Is at least unbecom Inz for them to display a selfish In terest In these matters. The time has passed when the laws of this country will be written for special Interests, when men can come and ask for leglS' lation to convert dollars from the pock' ets of the masses Into their own that thev mav trow rich." The committee comDleted cons' era- tion of the metal schedule after any amendments had been offered and 1 re jected. Representative Austin of Ten nessee failed In an effort to restore the Payne rates on aluminum, seven cents a pound. He argued that the Under wood rate of 25 per cent would deprive American labor of more than 11,000,000 In four years. Representative Palmer, declaring that the American Aluminum Company had a mopoly in this country and in France, Insisted if any rate in the bill was Jus titled it was the aluminum rate.

Armed men dressed as sailors clam bered on board the cruiser at 2 o'clock In the morning and demanded that the prisoners be handed over to them. At the same moment three shots were fired from the guns of the cruisers, so that it appeared that the affair was being carried on with the connivance of the officers and crew. The prisoners then were given up by their guards and were landed before the naval authori ties in the harbor understood what was goinsr on.

OHIO TOWN IS IN DISTRESS McConncllsville in Need of Aid From .Other Cities. By no means has the damage done by the recent floods In Ohio been re paired, for the little city of McCon nellsville in that state has sent up a signal of distress that calls for Im mediate action.. In the tragedy and excitement at tending the diaster in the larger cities this little town probably was over looked. Although the citizens are grateful that not a single life was lost they are needful of substantial as sistance. Hundreds of people are de pending entirely upon the relief com mittee for their sustenance. The com mittee has enough supplies to carry it through another week. The Governor of Ohio has promised to provide some thing from the general fund of the state but this will be hardly suffi cient. Remittances may be made payable to J. G. Woxencraf t, ' treasurer of the committee, McConnellsville, Ohio. MOVING OF BELL RESISTED Daughters of Revolution Plan Coun ter Petition Five Miles Long.
