WASHINGTON. April 5. Plans for soma strenuous legislative campaiirn In durlns; the coming; session of Con Kress were outlined today by the new organization of the Progressive party In the House. The IS Progressive mem bers spent the day in a series of con ferences to perfect plans. The recognition of the new party In the House was assured this afternoon when Majority Leader Underwood. In conferenre with Representatives Mur rtock. Hinebaush and Stephens, the Progressive committee on committees, agreed to allot to the new party Its proportion of committee places. Mr. Underwood said he would eivc the ProgrtShlves places on at least two Important committees, ways and means and rules. The Progressives were jubl lant over this decision. Acgremlve Straggle Outlined. From the fall of Speaker Clark" gavel on Monday the Progressives in tend to get Into the legislative struggle aggressively. The Progressive rules committee, labored today over a draft of proposed rules for the House, which they expect to offer ss a substitute for the rules brought In by the Democrats. The Progressive rules will Include sev eral revolutionary changes, notably I provision for roll-call votes during the consideration of bills Informally in the whole house. Provisions to facili tate the calling up of bills from com ml t tees will be included. The Progressive party fight in the House may start before the first roll call of members-elect is complete on Monday. The Progressives contemplate a vigorous fight to unseat H. onn Toung. member from the Twelfth Dis trict of Michigan. In favor of William H. McDonald, the Progressive who op posed him. The Progressives are con sidering a protest against Mr. Young being recognized in temporary rollcall when the session 'is opened Monday. T. It. Cudeiau Old Parties. A letter from Colonel Roosevelt con demning both the old parties and op posing amalgamation with either of theiro was read at one of the confer ences today. It said In part: W cannot amalgamate with either of the old boss-ridden, privilege-controlled parties. We stand for the rights of the people. Where the. rights of the people can only be secured through the exercise of the National power, then we are. committed to the doctrine of using the National power to any extent that the rights of the people demand. "This, of itself, sunders us from the Democratic party, for the Democratic party must either bo false to Its pledges and you can trust no party that Is false to Its pledges or else it Is irre vocably committed to the doctrine of some to separate sovereignties, a doc trine which In practice means that the powers of privilege can nullify every effort of the plain people to take pos session of their own government. "As for the Republicans, their pres ent position Is the exact negation of the attitude of Abraham Lincoln and the men of Lincoln's days. Lincoln de clared that the people were master over both Congress and the courts, not. as he phrased it. to destroy the Consti tution, but to overthrow those who per verted the Constitution." FREE LISTJS SWELLED KVmtlnued vrom First Page1 House during the day. The Presidents proposal of a 1-cent duty, with free sugar In three years, had been submit ted to the Sugar Growers' Associations of the South, and it was determined to give no answer to the President until the sugar growers had been beard from. Representative Broussard received a message from the American Sugar Orowers' Association tonight saying that the President's proposal had been discussed by the association at a meet ing In New Orleans today and It was unanimously agreed that a duty of 1 cent a pound for three years and free sugar after that time would not be ac ceptable. This Information will be communicated to President Wilson. The ways and means committee, hav ing completed the tariff bill, adjourned until Monday, leaving the sugar sched ule open, approved in two ways. The committee voted for free sugar flatty, and also for the suggested alternative of 1 cent a pound for three years, to be followed by free trade. Two Schedules Prepared. Two schedules were drafted, the com mittee leaving It to Chairman Under wood to Incorporate in the bill the schedule finally approved by the Presi dent. If no agreement can be reached by way of compromise with the anti free -sugar Senators. It was Indicated that the tariff bill would be Introduced anyway, probably with sugar on the free list. The Senate finance committee will meet tomorrow to 90 over the schedules as drafted by the ways and means com mittee. By that time a definite under standing on the sugar schedule Is ex pected. On Monday Chairman Under wood will Introduce the bill and the House -Democrats will be called to con sider It In caucus on Tuesday morning. At that time the question of procedure will be considered, whether the bill. tn eluding the Income tax. be taken as a whole or schedule by schedule. The prevalent opinion Is that the entire tariff will be considered as one measure-Chairman Underwood said tonight he planned to have his report on the bill ready for the caucus called by Repre sentative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, the caucus chairman. This report will con tain a complete analysis of the bill and is to be accompanied by a handbook sshowlng comparative rates with the Pa ne-Aldrtch and other tariff laws. Retraae Im KUreeda avo.MS.OSa. The bill. It Is estimated, will result in a loss In revenue of from Iao.OOO.OOO to SSS.PQO.eee as compared with the layne-Aldrich law. The raving to the people. It Is estimated by the Demo ratic experts, will aggregate several times this loss. The Income tax provision, from which the loss of tariff revenue is expected to be recovered, has been thoroughly planned. Thonrli the exemption on this is placed at li''I It was said tonight that should the compromise plan for three years of reluced rate on rsw sugar prevail, the personal Income ex emption might be raised Si't0. The SIQflA exemption. I; Is understood, ass determined upon with tUv view of THOMAS placing sugar on the free list, which alone would cut off $52,000,000 in revenue. Chairman Underwood waited until late today for word from members of the Senate llnance committee or the President, but none came. He will be on hand tomorrow to hear from them, and members of the ways and means committee will be subjected to call ahould a meeting be necessary. The new tariff revision is expecteo bv Democratic leaders to produce an annual revenue of $225,000,000 from the dutiable schedules and approximately lluo.0v0.000 more from the Income tax, allowing for free sugar. Incosae Tax May Be Raised. There is an alternative proposition ready to clamp Into the Income feature of the bill at the ways and mean com mittee meeting Monday, If It la found necessary to raise more revenue from the income tax to make up lor any depletion in the tariff revenue that might result from whatever agreement is reached on sugar. This alternative is the substitution of lfe per cent on that part of the income scheme taxing Incomes between 4000 and $20,000. in stead of the present proposed rate of 1 Der cent. The other parts of the in come tax plan would stand unchanged. The committee majority has been pro ceeding on assumption that It Is neces sary for the Government to raise anj annual revenue or at least s31u.uw.uvu or $316,000.00. While the new tariff law will take effect at midnight the date of approval, the Income tax fea ture of It will be effective ior tne calendar year 113 and In succeeding years. This will be in line with the present scheme of assessment of the cornoratlon tax. assessable on a calen dar year basis, so as to accord with the methods 01 tne ousiness organiza tions with whose accounts It deals. The exemptions to the Income tax law. aside from the $4000 minimum in come limit as to persons, would apply mainly, if not entirely, to religious and charitable Institutions. SLIGHT DCTV OX WOOL URGED Senator. Chamberlain Favors Ad Valorem of 15 Per Cnt. WASHINGTON. " April i. Senator Chamberlain today gave out the fol lowing; authorized statement of bis po sition on wool: in view of the fact that Oregon is a wool-growing state, it seems to me In the preparation, of a tariff measure some concession ought to be made to the wool-growing industry, partlcu lsrly in view of the fact that a re duced duty is retained on the manufac tured product. I am advised that wool-growers in the West and Middle West would be satisfied with an ad valorem duty of 15 per cent. This small concession would not add appre ciably to the cost t the manufactured product, and therefore would not have material influence on the high cost of living. "I have always felt that the wool grower is unfortunate In linking his fortunes with the manufacturer. He has been used as a cat's-paw. and du ties which have been Imposed by the combined efforts of the manufacturer and grower have been largely to the advantage of the former. While the wool-grower has had a paper duty of 11 or 1: cents. In the actual working of the wool schedule he has not re ceived more than T cents, and this has been so clearly demonstrated in the re cent discussions of the tariff that the wool-grower has become convinced he has been used as an Instrument to as sist the manufacturer, rather than his own Industry. Inasmuch, however, as the Immediate effect of placing wool on the free list might for a time serious ly disturb the wool-growing industry. It would be far better to retain a 15 per cent ad valorem duty, and If no dis turbance was created, wool - might eventual!? be placed on the free list. "If the House passes the general tar iff bill designed to carry out the pledges which Democrats and Repub licans made to revise the tariff down ward. J would not let my vote be influ enced by any one item placed on the free list against my personal objection. In other words. It Is better to sacrifice my individual Interest than that a bur densome rate of taxation be levied upon the whole people. I believe the tariff, ought to be revised downward, and so far as my vote and Influence goes it shall be. The retention of a slight duty on wool, however, would not violate Democratic policy or the declarations of the Democratic plat form. It is a question it the Govern ment can afford to lose the revenue that would be derived from a small duty on wool." Centralla Bridegroom la 81. CKXTRAL1A. Wash.. April S. (Spe cial.) Solomon R.

I Rested with school girls. I replied In substance that I did not see any im propriety In her escorting him to her room. The substance of her reply was that she would not do so, that as she was making preparations to start for home and that her clothes were scat tered over the floor and chairs, and that she did not know Senator Gore and that she would not talk to him in a private room alone. I replied that she could take my key and go to my room and that I would so up, with them and that the three of us would be in the room together. Other Oklnbomaas Called In.

The three of. us could see Senator Gore and Mrs. Bond in the room. Mrs. Bond was talk ing about her husband's candidacy for Internal revenue collector for Okla homa." RHEUMATISM GERM TRACED Chicago Physician Satisfies Himself as to Truth of Theory. CHIOAGO, April 5. Dr. Edward C. Rosenow. of Rush Medical College, de plored today publicity given his re search In the matter of the germ of rheumatism. It had been given out that he had discovered the identity of the hitherto unknown bacillus. "I am not the discoverer of the germ theory of rheumatism," he said. "That has been known for 10 years. I have merely succeeded in satisfying myself that the theory is correct, but I am not prepared to say that I have isolated the germ." Dr. Rosenow s discoveries will be the basis for experimental work in search of a cure for rheumatism. ATTEMPT MADE ON BRIDGE Dynamite Discovered Jnst Before Passenirer Train Is to Cross.

Ninety-seven of 126 Republican mem bers were present Among them were such "Progressive Republicans" as Representatives Lenroot and Cooper, of Wisconsin: Volkstead, Anderson and Steiner. of Minnesota: Helgeaon, of North Dakota, and others who had par ticipated earlier in an informal con ference on "progressive Republican ism." Kent Avoids all Caucuses. Representative Kent, of California, although on the Republican caucus roll, was absent. He bad stayed away from the "Progressive" third party conference and from the "progressive Republican" meeting. Republican Leader Mann regarded Mr. Kent as in dependent, but expects to accord him recognition on committees, as he did in the last Congress. The caucus nominations which will be- put before the House in opposition to the Democratic majority are: For Speaker, Representative Mann, of Il linois; chaplain. Rev. Henry N. Couden, Washington. D.

Resolutions were adopted expressing sympathy with the flood sufferers, au thorizing Mr. Mann to make the recom mendations to the Democratic majority for Republican memberships on com mittees and authorizing a caucus "upon written request of 25 members, or of the Republican leader." Representa tivea Mann. Burke, Martin and others urged more frequent caucuses. A cau cus on the tariff will be held next week. A proposition to have caucuses public was made and ' will be acted upon next week. Earlier In the evening a score of Pro gressive Republicans, an element dis tinct from the Progressive third party, assembled in the office of Represen tative Anderson, of Minnesota, and dis cussed Republican conditions. Most of them indicated their purpose or par ticipating in the caucus of the regular Republicans. This was done on an un derstanding between themselves that they would not feel tnemselves bound by caucus action as to legislative mat ters. There was a general sentiment, however, that the policy of maintain ing a party quorum should be recog nized and there was no disposition to oppose the regular nominee of the Re publicans for the speakership.
