WAY CLEARED FOR
ACTION ON TARIFF
Senate Steering Committee
Proposes Caucus That Shall
Bind Democrats.
DETAILS ARE CONSIDERED
AdminiMrRtive Features Continue to
Cause Vexation Smoot Will
Head Wool Opposition. Smith
That Against Sugar.
WASHINGTON, Jun 12 The Demo
rratir 'steerina; committee" of the Sen
ate was called into action late today to
2lear the way In that body for the tariff
revision bill.
As a result of the meeting and of re
ports received from the finance com
mittee, members of the "steering com
mittee" said tonight they believed the
tariff hill would get back Into the Sen
ate before the end of next week.
Senator Kern called the party man
agers together after reports had be
come general that the Democratic tariff
caucus would have to be postponed
until the Senate's West Virginia coal
strike investigation had been com
pleted. Tt was determined, to secure an
agreement between the Senate and
House on the sundry civil bill now In
dispute, to end Senator Jones' single
nanded filibuster wbfteb had delayed
Senate business for more than a week,
and to remove all other obstacles to
aarly action on the tariff.
CivruH o Be Binding.
The "steering committee" was In
formed by Senator Thomas, who also Is
a member of the finance committee,
tha t the tariff bill could bo completed
and returned to the Senate next week.
Several other members of the finance
committee, however, expressed doubt
tonight as to the probability that this
could be accomplished.
Recommendations were made earlv in
the day by several Democrats prom
inently identified with the Administra
tion forces that the Senate caucus be
deferred until Senators Swanson,
Shields and Martine had returned from
their work with the investigating com
mittee in West Virginia. It is proposed
that the caucus shall be a binding one,
pledging every Senator to vote for the
bill as approved.
free Sugar ud Wool Advance.
Free sugar in three years and free
von), the moat troublesome schedules
rf the tariff confronting the party, ad
vanced another stage today without
suffering alteration, when the Demo
cratic members of the finance commit
tee a pproved them as they passed the
Houae. These schedules are now up to
Mf Democratic caucus.
The caucus vote on sugar and wool
will end all controversy as to whether
President Wilson's tariff policv is to
iceive the party support. The party
leaders do not believe now that more
than three Senators -will refuse to sup
port the schedules and if there are no
aiore losses than that the bill can be
passed with the vote of the Vice-President.
John Sharp Williams, chairman of
the sub-eommltte In charge of the ad
ministrative features of the Underwood,
bill, startled members of the tinance
committee today when he proposed
that a commission be appointed to
study the entire question of tariff ad
ministration and that meanwhile the
administrative provisions of the Payne.
Aldrlch law be permitted to stand In
the now Democratic bill. One of the
principal difficulties trie sub-committee
has encountered has been the provis
ion in the Underwood bill requiring
foreign manufacturers to submit their
books in cases of disputed valuations
and the provisions designed by the
ways and means committee to prevent
undervaluation.
Administrative Problems Vn.
The committeemen also have had
trouble in endeavoring to modify the
proposed amendment which would give
the Secretary of the Treasury author
ity to proclaim general import statutes.
After many weeks of studying these
questions. Senator Williams had con
cluded it would be wise to turn over
the whole tariff administrative section
to a commission to consist of three
Senators, an officer of the customs di
vision of the Treasury and an official
of the Department of Justice familiar
with customs affairs.
The finance committee majority did
not approve tM plan, however, and
determined that the committee itself
should work out the problems at once.
The sub-committee will make another
report tomorrow.
Republican Senators are making
preparations for their opposition fight.
Senator Penrose, Republican member
of the finance committee, is to lead
the opposition on the floor after the bill
is reported. Senator Smith, of Michi
gan, is to lead the flprht against the
sugar schedule and Senator Smoot will
command the anti-free wool debate.
Senator La Follette. who has amend
ments which amount practically to a
new bill, plana to make a speech that
will extend over a week. The minority
members of the finance committee are
already at work on their report.
CLUB MEMBERS PROTEST
Claremont Country Club Resents Be

A committee of members of the Clare
mont Country club called on Sheriff
Word Wednesday to protest against
the coupling of the name of the Clare
mont Tavern with that of the Hut and

MYSTERY ISN0W CLEAR
Ex-Convict Tells rr Effort bade to
ell Oens.
NEW YORK. June II. (Special.)
Mystery surrounding Mrs. Jules ata-
Die s pink pearl, which weighs 26
grains and is worth JIO.OOO. was lifted
to some extent today when J. Edward
Boeck, who served a term In Sing Sing
for defrauding New York jewelers by
obtaining gems on memorandum and
then leaving town, testified in the Su
preme Court in the suit brought
against Mrs. Vatable by Ludwlg Nis
sem & Co., to recover the pearl or its
value, on the ground that it belongs
to the firm. Mrs. Vatable says she
bought the pearl in good faith and
insists that her gem is not the pearl
the firm lost.
Boeck testified that he got a coppery
roseate pearl weighing: 26 grains from
J. Edward Dayton in 1907. Dayton told
him he had a diamond necklace to sell
for Mine. Una. Cavalieri and Boeck
said he thought he could sell the pearl
and the necklace to ex-Senator Clark,
of Minnesota. He took Senator Clark
to Dayton's office but the Senator did
not buy. Boeck then left New York and
took the pearl and other gems with
him. He said he gave the pearl to a
friend, Mrs. Alice Li Dodge, in San
Francisco, in the Fall of 1907. to dis
pose of It for him, and he never saw
it again.
He said she sold It for $1500 to
Shreve & Co., a San Francisco firm.
Boeck testified that at the time he
got the pearl he was purchasing agent
in this country for the Chinese government.

asked J. C. Brabazen, who has made
several flights with him, to go along.
"Let's take Just one little joyride,"
he laughed, "and then I'll go to dinner
with you.
Brabazen declined, as it was getting
too dark and there were no places suit
able for a landing.
When Drew had been in the air but a
short time the men in the aviation
grounds saw a tongue of name dart
frcm the machine. Drew, evidently
hoping to land In a field a half mile
away, shut off his engine and started
to volplane In an effort to save himself.
The bit lane suddenly shot downward,
careening as it fell.
CHICACtO, Juno 12. Drew was well
known in aviation circles in the Middle
West. He was in charge of last year's
meet at Cicero Field and was president
of the Aviators' Association of Amer
ica, organized to promote sane flying.

ST. IOUIS. June 12. Adventure was
the fetish followed throughout his life
by Andrew Drew, who was killed In
an aeroplane accident near Lima, O.
Drew, who was a son of a bank presi
dent, became a reporter on an afternoon
paper here. He was detailed to make
a flight in a balloon to get a story for
his paper and became fascinated with
the experience. He qualified as a bal

capes from injury took up aviation un

En Route to See Parade When
Accident Occurs.
While on the way to the parade yes
terday about 1 o'clock an automobile
belonging to C. L. Idleman was caught
between two streetcars at Grand and
Hawthorne avenues, with the result
tha Mrs. C. L. Idleman was severely
hurt and the car smashed. Mrs. Idle
man was rushed to Good Samaritan
Hospital, where it was found that her
collarbone was broken, her shoulder
probably dislocated and her breast
bone injured, though it is thought there
are no Internal Injuries.
Mr. Idleman was driving the auto
and in the tonneau were Mrs. E. W.
Jones and Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Myers,
none of whom was injured. The street
cars had stopped at the crossing and
Mr. Idleman thought he could get
through, but just as he started one
of the cars also moved and the auto
was caught between the two. Both
the rear wheels were smashed.
By a coincidence H. L. Jdleman. a
brother, was passing the spot on a
motorcycle, when he saw a crowd had"
collected and dismounted to see what
the trouble was. The first thing that
met his eyes was a number of people,
including his brother, helping Mrs!
Idleman from the wrecked car.
Mrs. Idleman is S4 years old and
lives at '3 East Eightieth street North.
