Kxpected to Win Final Ap
proval of Bod 7.
WASHINGTON, May 21. Determina
tion to squalls livestock and grains
and their respective products In the
Undevood tariff bill has been reached
by the Senate finance sub-committee
considering the agricultural schedule.
It has been agreed that If cattle,
sheep, bops, wheat and oats are to
remain dutiable, as the Underwood bill
classifies them, then a duty shall be
placed on beef, mutton, - pork, wheat
ORDERED
I flour and oatmeal, or. If these products
I are to remain on the free list, the
raw materials will be placed on the
free list.
This Is the first basic tariff change
to be planned by the Senate Demo
crats since the underwood bill came
fnm the House.
. Rate of Duty I'ndetermlned.
Whether raw materials and their
products are to be placed on the free
list or all are to bar made dutiable baa
not been determined. J The decision to
equalize these schedules. It also was
1 reported, had been reached with th
knowledge of the President and not
without his approral.
w nen senator Williams told of a re
port in circulation that his committee
- had decided to put all llrestock and
grain on the free list In keeping with
their products, as they are treated In
the Cnderwood bill, he declared there
was no ground lor sucn a report.
Prodnrta Get Equal Chaser.
But declared the Senator, "there
Is this much about It. If cattle, sheep
and hogs are to remain dutiable In this
bill, then the products will carry
duty. The unit la true of wheat, oats,
flour and oatmeaL There will be no
discrimination between free raw ma
tnriala and their products in this bllL
But we have not determined whether
these shall be dutiable or undutlable."
The fight over this feature of the
ITnderwood bill began In the House,
and there was considerable Demo
cratic opposition to the placing of
farm products on the free list while
the raw material was left dutiable.
some uem ocrata predicted that the
Senate would change the schedule,
. most of them asserting that livestock
and grains would go to the free list.
Whatever the subcommittee does Is ex
pected to meet with the approval of
the finance committee majority. It
was learned today that Senator Walsh
cf Montana, planned to introduoe an
amendment to put cattle on the free
list If the bill were presented without
such a change.
Vaderwood Avoids DIacuaaloa.
The Underwood bill puts a duty of
10 per cent ad valorem on all livestock
and places on th free list all fresh
meat, puts a duty of 10 cents a bushel
on wheat and oats and places wheat
four and oatmeal on the free list.
Representative Underwood, chairman
ot the House ways and means com
mittee, when asked about the proposed
Senate changes today, said that he had
beard nothing about them and that he
did not Intend to take any further part
In the tariff consideration until the
bill geta to conference.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, announced that next
" Wednesday the subcommittee would
begin the various schedules and that
they hoped to have the bill ready for
the finance committee by June 1. The
Democratic caucus, he said, would be
railed for consideration of the bill.
about June 3, and an effort would be
' made to report it to the Senate the
following week.
Majority Would Cloac Hearings.
The decision today of the majority
, members Of the finance committee to
close all private hearings on the bill
next Tuesday has not met with Re
publican approval and an attack on this
. plan is looked for in the Senate to
morrow. The committee decided to
print all briefs of manufacturers not
heretofore published, and to receive
briefs until the bill reaches the Senate
floor.
Another problem confronting the
Democratic leaders la the anti-dumping
clause In the Underwood bill, which
makes no provision for articles on the
free list- This clause would assess an
additional duty not to exceed 15 per
cent on Imports sold In this country
for less than the foreign price, but it
la not made to apply to the free list
and some Democrats Insist that the
free list should be included.
Soa Maanfaetarera Protest.
Soap manufacturers appeared before
Senator Johnson's sub-committee today
protesting against taking certain es
sential oils from the free list and plac
ing them on the dutiable list. They
maintained that the ways and means

duty of -0 per cent on essential oils It

M'KENNA TAKES CAUTION
English Home Secretary to Shun
Militant Women in Future.
CARDIFF, Wales. May 21. The Brit
ish Cabinet Ministers are exposed to
such risks of being mauled by mili
tants at public meeting that hereafter
they are likely to refuse to attend un
less those in charge of the meetings
guarantee their personal safety.
Because such assurances could not
be given him, the Home Secretary, the
lit. Hon. Reginal McKenna, did not
appear at the Welsh disestablishment
and free church conference today, al
though he was announced as one of the
speakers. It is understood that the
authorities learned of a suffragette
plot to attack the Home Secretary at
the conference by a method which
would not only Jeopard Mr. McKenna's
life, but the lives of the delegates as

The Home Secretary, however, ad
dressed a large meeting this evening.
Mr. McKenna concluded his addresses
by warning the militants that their
methods would never succeed In fright
ening or worrying the government into
giving the franchise to women.

week.
After he had been made honorary
president of the Laymen's League, at
lta annual meeting in Cbanning hall,
he said:
When I ran for President I found
that many people did not know that I

came known that I was a Unitarian I
was asked by many persons why I did
not repudiate the infernal llbeL But

father and my father and mf mother
were Unitarians. The influence of
Unitarianlsm is a spreading influence
today."
Before the Lend A Hand Society, which
elected him to honorary membership,
Mr. Taft spoke briefly In eulogy of
the late Rev. Edward Kverett Hale,
father of the society.
GIRL POLICE IS PROPOSAL
Suggestion Comes From Young Wo

Juvenile Judge Gatenn is seriously I
considering adding a girls' auxiliary to

two young girls living on Northrup

Misslssippinn Who Announces Inten

Question Asked to Make
Remarks Moderate.
WASHINGTON. May 21. The Admin
lstration professed to be reassured to
day by advices it had received from
Tokio Indicating that the American re
ply to the Japanese protest against
the California land law had been re
ceived In good spirit there. .
The dispatches related also that the
Japanese government realized the dif
ficulties under which the Washington
Administration labored In handling
this situation, understanding the dual
system of government in the United
States and the powers of legislation
held by California.
Japan's Progress Admired.
Today's advices were of a prelim
inary character and made no prediction
of ensuing steps, but in general they
reflected a favorable view In Toklo of
the American note replying to Ja
pan's protest.
President Wilson, who had no small
part In the writing of the note, is
said to have described in most com
plimentary terms what ho believed to
be the real feeling of the majority of
the American people toward Japan. The
communication. It is said, pointed to
California and only a part of Califor
nia, too, as having given evidence of
discriminatory disposition, and In
sisted that the United States as a
whole admired the progress that Japan
had made in the last half -century, re
spected the achievements of the Japa
nese people and was sincerely desirous
of showing that it regarded Japan on
a basis of equality with ail other pow
ers and nations.
The note was about 1000 words long
and dealt chiefly with the spirit of the
American people toward Japan, making
little reference, it Is understood, to the
technicalities of the new law or the
treaty, but discussing Japan's conten
tion that the California agitation was
n reality an act of unfriendliness and
discrimination toward the Japanese.

Investigating commission as to con

Miss Mary Bulkley, chairman of the
Industrial relations committee of the
Central Council of Social Agencies, told
the committee today that the minimum
wage on which a girl could live in St,
Louis was $8.75 a week.
Similar testimony was given by Mrs.
Harry C. January, secretary of the
Consumers' League.
Both witnesses testified that many
girls were employed in St. Louis stores
at $2.50 to $3.50 a week, and that scrub
women in office buildings worked for
from $20 to $30 a month.
Factory Work Irregular.
Four women employed by the R. E.

testified that the work at the factory
was not regular; that the average wage
earned by the beginners was $3 to $4
a week and that experts could get $8
to $9. They said a woman must earn
at least $6 a week to live decently.
Vice-President Funsten of the com
pany testified that 400 to BOO women

average wage, ha said, was between $8
and $9 a week, but some earned $12 to
$14 a week. ,
Do you ask the girls where they
live, and with whom, when they apply
for work?" Senator Wilson asked.
"I do not."
Dnty Ends With Employment.
"Then it doesn't seem to matter with
you what the condition of the girls Is,
except that they become human ma
chines in your shop?" Wilson said.
"We cannot Inquire into that," Fun
sten said. "We give them employment
and our duty ends there."

PORTIAS PREVAIL
IN SEATTLE TRIAL
MAIDS APPEAR FOR PROSECU
TION' AXD DEFENSE.
Jury In Burglary Case Has Women
Members and Verdict Is Returned
In 15 Minutes.
SEATTLE, May 21. (Special.)
Prosecuting attorney, Miss Reah M.
Whitehead; counsel for defense. Miss
Leola May Blinn; defendant, Arthur
Swanson.
These were the principals In a burg
lary case tried today in Judge Ron
ald's department of the Superior Court,
in which the woman prosecutor won
her fight for the prosecution of a man,
defended by a woman attorney.
The jury, which contained two
women, brought In the verdict in 16
minutes.
The Swanson case sets a new prece
dent probably in English Jurisprudence,
for, while Portias have from time to
time appeared to shed light in the
legal forum, the most learned of bar
risters cannot call to mind a case
where two Portias held the arena at
one time.
Swanson was accused, with Roy Ray
mond, of having stolen from the Pa
cific Hotel, Sixth and Weller, a kodak
valued at $20 and a violin of about the
same value. The articles were sold to
Harry Rachmlll, a Third-avenue pawn
broker, where the police recovered
them.
Both Miss Blinn and Miss White
head have tried criminal cases before,
but today was the first time they had
clashed. Miss Whitehead is a regu
larly appointed deputy prosecutions at
torney. In the present case Miss Whitehead
was assisted by Deputy Prosecutor
White, and Miss Blinn had as asso
ciate counsel Ivan Blair.
The appearance of the two Portias
was the result ot a coup executed by
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Crawford
E. White, who had noticed Miss Blinn
was winning too many cases. To take
the edge off Miss Blinn's advantage as
woman pleader, he asked Miss White
head to present the case for him.
KEEFE RESIGNS HIS PLACE

Commendation.
WASHINGTON. May 31. Daniel J.
Keefe's resignation as Commissioner

3 was accepted today by Secretary Wil
son of the Department of Labor to take
effect at such time after May 31 as

letter of acceptance the Secretary
wrote:
'I desire to express to you my sincere
appreciation of your good work as
Commissioner-General of Immigration
and to thank you personally for the
effective manner in which you have
assisted me in obtaining a grasp of the
details of the work of the bureau."
Mr. Keefe was appointed by Presl
dent Roosevelt. In the closing days of
the Taft administration Secretary N
gel recommended the officer's dismissal
and advised that evidence relating to
his official conduct be laid before the
Department of Justice. President. Taft
took no action, leaving the matter to
be handled by the incoming Adminis
tration. It was announced yesterday
that Anthony A. Camlnetti, of Call
fornia. had been selected to succeed
Mr. Keefe.

TRIP HEARTILY ENJOYED
Department Head Who Recently
Took Dive in Submarine Craft
Now Jokes of Having "Gone Up
and Down" With Navy.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 21. Secretary
of the Navy Josephus Daniels traveled
eight mile today through the air in a
flying boat.
"It was delightful; I enjoyed the sen
sation thoroughly," was the Secretary's
reply to an Inquiry just after he
alighted.
The Secretary went up with Lieuten
ant John H. Towers, senior officer of
the Navy aviation ' corps. The flight
was made in the flying boat C-l.
Trip Over In Elicht Minutes.
The air trip was begun at four min
utes to 4 o'clock. Eight minutes later
the trip was over, and the Secretary,
after traveling about eight miles at a
height of S00 feet was telling ot his
experience.
Mr. Daniels came to Annapolis this
morning and inspected the buildings
and grounds at the Academy. After
dining with Superintendent Gibbons,
he boarded a Navy launch, which car
ried him to the aviation camp across
the Severn River. As he passed the
battleship Illinois in the stream, a sa
lute of 19 guns was fired In his honor.
Name and Weight ReBjatered.
Lieutenant Towers and other officers
of the camp showed htm the long line
of hangars In which five flying ma
chines were stabled. When the last was
reached, the flying boat was quickly
launched, while Mr. Daniels donned n
overcoat and stuffed some cotton wasto
into his ears to drown the noise of the
engine during the flight. Then, after
signing his name to the official regis
ter, where all passengers place their
signatures and weights before begin
ning a trip, he took his seat by Mr.
Towers.
Lieutenant Towers kept his craft on
the water for about an eighth of a
mile and then sailed gradually upward
and toward the mouth of Severn River
and the Chesapeake Bay.
After about two miles of steady
climbing in this direction a turn was
made and the flying boat passed over
the camp at a height of about 500 feet.
As he sailed over, Mr. Daniels waved
his hand to the crowd below. A
straight flight up the river of about
four miles was made, and then Lieu
tenant Towers turned for the trip back
and downward, landing just In front of
the point from which the start was
made.
Pennant Given as Souvenir,
A four-starred pennant of blue silk,
made by the sailors at the camp and
which flew from one of the standards
of the air craft, was presented to Mr.
Daniels as a squvenlr.
When he had landed, the Secretary
talked of his sensations, and mentioned
the fact that by flying today, after
having taken a dive In a submarine
boat at Norfolk recently, he had gone
down and up with the Navy.
I always thought I was a good fel
low, but never before knew I had such
good wings," he said.
Asked if the noise of the engines
was very loud, he said it was not, but
that it was difficult to talk.
A Congressman recently told me
that wuh the case, and I then said it
would be a good thing to get an aero-
nlane for everv member of Congress, If
it would make talking difficult for
them," he said with a laugh.
Mrs. Daniels Doea Not Object.
' Mrs. Daniels did not cross the river
with her husband, but witnessed tlie
flight from the Naval Academy. When
he was asked what his wife thought
of his taking such risks, the Secretary
said:
"Oh, she didn't object. Siic's a bet
ter sailor than I anyway."
As he turned to enter the boat that
was to take him back to the academy
he said:
"Bo good here if you want to fly
hereafter."
Lieutenant-Commander J. L. Hclmcr,
the Secretary's aide, made a flight
with Lieutenant E. L. Smith in ono ot
the converted biplanes.
