t BAX FRANCISCO. June 29. The two
leading candidates for the Presidency

backer, of Texas, chairman of the Held
committee on endowment and Mrs.
Philip Carpenter, of New, York, former
president of Sorosis, before the con
vention and it fell to Mrs. Pennybacker
to Introduce Mrs. Carpenter.
"It Is my great pleasure and honor,"
she began. The convention, quick to
seize the situation laughed and ap
plauded. "It Is my great pleasure and
honor." repeated Mrs. Pennybacker, "to
introduce to you my friend, and one to,
whom I pledge my allegiance should
she be elected."
Mrs. Carpenter, who had stood smil
ing Into Mrs. Pennybacker's eyes,
stepped to the front of the platform.
"What my little running mate back
here." she began, "said about me I want
to say about her. We're both of the

Mrs. Decker TV Third Term.
Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, of Colo
rado, a former president, and Mrs.
Philip North Moore, of St. Louis, the
retiring president, also are to be can

"I'm going to run again for presi
dent," said Mrs. Decker in the course
of a plea for the proposed endowment
fund of 100.000 "Oh, five or six years
trora now, I'm going to have a third
term. Yes, and Mrs. Moore's going to

ment. We've built a platform of one

"We want money enough to send the
great women of this federation to every

TARIFF BOARD ABOLISHED
Members Quit Because Congress Al-

or QUivnTflV June 19. The tariff
board went out of existence today be
cause Congress had ' refused further
money for Its work. The five members,
headed by Chairman Henry C. Emery,
assembled at the White House and in
formed the President of the board's
most recent work, consisting of a cur
sory examination of the leather in
dustry, the cost of sugar-growing in
Louisiana and glossaries of the leather
and silk schedules. These uncompleted
data were turned over to the President
for the use of committees of Congress
or any other tariff revision agency.

HAT PLUSH DUTY LOWER
WOMEN'S RIGHTS TO BE PRO
TECTED BY CURTIS.
Treasury Department Official Rules
Against Discrimination In Tariff
In Favor of Men.
WASHINGTON. June 28. "The rights
of women are secure in the Treasury
Department." So said Assistant Secre
tary Curtis today in wiping out a big
discrimination against women's hats in
the interpretation of the tariff acts.
Hatters' plush, used exclusively for
the manufacture of men's silk hats,
has been admitted to the United States
at 10 per cent duty. Other such plush
has, paid 45 per cent. Of late hun
dreds of thousands of "women's hats,
by fashion's decree, have been made
out of hatters' plush. Because of the
peculiar wording of the tariff act, some
collectors of customs, in cases where
the plush was used for women's hats,
have assessed 45 per cent, while that
plush used for the dress hat of an
American gentleman paid only 10 per
cent.
"The cost of women's hats is high
enough." said Curtis, deciding that the
quality of the plush should be the basis
of assessment, whether it went to man
or woman.
