CONFEREES MUST GET BUSY SOON Raw Material Section of Attracts the Most At tention. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON D. C, July 20. It was learned on excellent author ity late today that Representative Payne, chairman of the House Con ference Committee, on the Tariff Bill, had refused to permit any prop osition to go to a vote and that he has taken the position hecause he would not sign any report simply because a majority of the H01130 republican conferees had voted for it. The difficulty experienced by the leaders of the House and Senate in getting sufficient votes to carry through the modification form of President Taft's raw material plat form was augmented today through the development of serious differ ences In the conference room over the largo number of Important schedules that have not been dis posed of by the conferees. The con ference has given its attention al most entirely to the dutiable list leaving it to leaders of both houses and the president to determine the course of acrlon in regard to the free raw material controversy. ' The' conference adjourned until tomor row in orSer that the conferees might have more time to look Into the questions involved in considera tion of the schedules that are un settled. Wide differences of opin ion were encountered In today's deliberation and little progress was made. For a time after President Taft's activities began, he occupied the center of the stage and attention naturally concentrated on him. Now that his attitude has been de fined, the conferees have begun again to give attention to the prob lems that present themselves regard less of the White House. No vote has been taken but when business began today It was understood that stage must soon bo reached. Dur ing the last ten days, many agree ments have ben arrived at but most of the d'frerces left to be ar range' ar- fundemontal In character and it is believed they can only be settlcl by t process of the ballot. Only the republican members of both houses are sitting and repre sentatives of each branches vote separately. As there are five sen ators and six representatives on the committee, the votes of three sen ators and four members of the House will be necessary to carry any prop osition. Wood pulp, print paper, lumber, hides, Iron ore and other so-called raw material are receiving the most serious attention from the conferees. WEDS IN SEATTLE. Gus.

News has just reached here of a sensational suit which Robert L. Agers, a .former well-known resident of Coos Bay, has begun against a physician at Napa, Cal., for mal practice. News had been received here of the streak of hard luck which -Mr. Agers appeared to have been having, he having been confin ed in a hospital the major portion of the last year. Now he attributes It to the physician's errors.

Agers charges Dr. E. Z. Hennessey with malpractice and demands damages in the sum of $25,000. "The complaint, which was filed In the Superior Court on June 8th, was kept on the secret file, pending the issuauce of the summons. In his pleading Agers sets up two causes of action. In the first he al leges that he broke his leg on Janu ary 31st, 190S; that he Immed'ato ly employed Dr. Hennessey to treat the Injured limb, and that such cm nlovment continued until the 1st of July, 1 90S; 'that the physician regll- gently and unsklllfully treated the broken leg; that as a resuft the broken bone did not knit, and a large portion of It wasted away; that he was laid up for sixteen months ,and was compelled to spend $000 for nursing and hospital ex penses; that he is now crippled for life. "In the second cause of action, In addition to a repetition of the al legations of the first count, Agers avers that Dr. Hennessey failed to set the broken leg. "Agers demands Judgment against the defendant physician for $25,000. FOR CORPORATION TAX. Conference Comjnlttoo Accepts New Draft. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C, July 20.

All policies Issued since June 21 are of course supposed to be Issued under the new rates.
