After a day of caucuses, conferences and aecret meetings, in which the Democrat of the "progressive Kepubiicans oi me senate were blocked by the regular senators, the two factions tonight are resting on their arms.

Washineton The two Caiforniana, Richardson and Fletcher, arrested in Japan as spies, because they photo graphed the Maizuru naval station, hnva henn released, and the State de partment has been notified by Ambas- unrtnr O'Brien. An investigation ais by the Republicans a "political soothin syrup," was roujrhly handled in the house this afternoon by the Republl can side. Underwood, Democrstlc chairman of the ways ad means committee, Intro duced It in an hour's speech, shortly after the session convened at noon It is now left to the mercies of Mann of Illinois, leader of tha Republican side, and what Mann said about It in the two hours he hold .the floor gave both sides food for much debate, com ment and criticism. Underwood, in explaining the pro posed measure, acknowledged that it would mean reduction in government revenues by at least f 10,p00,000 a year, but declared that this would be more than met by government econo mies. "This free list bill is not offered as a compensation to the farmer for pro ducts of his that were put on the free list in the reciprocity bill," said Un derwood, "beftause we do not believe the passage of the reciprocity bill will in any way affect the farmers' income. One of the object of this bill is to re move from the protected list those im plements that the farmer uses in pro ducing his crops. The other purpose is to reduce the cost of living to the masses by putting their food products on the free list" Underwood announced that this was only the beginning of the Democratic revision of the tariff. "We propose to revise the tariff schedule by schedule," he said. "That, in our opinion, is the only proper way to handle the tariff question in con gress. The Democratic party does not stand for the wiping out of the custom houses; we realize that the xnenu of covemment must be borne by a judicious system of duties. But by lowering and adjusting prohibitive duties we can fully maintain the amount of customs revenues." Underwood charged the Republicans with making the Payne tariff law so thst it left a tariff on everything that the farmer used, while reducing many of his protective duties. The minority report signed by all Kepubiicans on the ways ana meana committee, declares that tne measure represents a "transparent at tempt at the manufacture of politcal capital." It asserts that congress was called together specifically to pass the Canadian reciprocity bill. "Tha interests of the farmer and of everybody else will be subserved," says the report "if the country is spared further exploitation and fur ther tariff legislation at the present time and if adjournment is taken promptly after the reciprocity bill shall have been finally acted on. Washincrton. April 24. Despite the fact that hicrh officials of the Navy de partment have apologized to Professor Beers, of Yale, and his daughter tor the. slight recently administered in connection with a social affair at Ann apolis, congress may make an official investfgation of the alleged snobbery at the naval academy and at West Point as well. Apparently Repre sentative Korbly of Indiana and other members of congress who have taken an interest in the incident are not satisfied with the explanations of the Navy department about "social sta tus" and the like, and some, hot words are likely to find utterance on- the floors of congress as a result oi tne form the official apology in the Beers case has taken. The incident, arising from the snub given Miss Beers at a recent social "hop" at Annapolis,' has grown in im portance, a circumstance distressing to Navy department omciais, wno are loath to see anything that tends to create a prejudice against the service. Miss Beers was taken to the hop at Annapolis by a midshipman, who was subsequently reprimanded for so do- insr. Miss Beers is employed as gov emess in the household of Lieutenant Commander William H. Tarrant, U. N. Then came the storm. Following the storm came the apol ogy. Secretary Meyer ana tne super intendent of the academy saying it was demanded because of a misunder standing of the "status" of the young woman. In other words, it was found that she was not in "domestic service" as a matter of necesity, but was from a family of "social status." There fore an apology was unnecessary. New Land Office Needed. Washington The Oregon delega tion is discussing the advisability of introducing a bill to establish a new land office in Central Oregon, probably at Madras. Present land offices at The Dalles, Lakeview, Burns and Vale the new country being opened by the Des tiny to 75 new settlers arriving daily and the distance to the land office is working a hardship.
