STUDYING TARIFF BILL
Wilson Has This
Careful Consideration for
Several
Committee Meets.
WASHINGTON, April
Wilson and Representative Underwood
were In conference for hours
the White tonight for the
i ii over features of the pro-
posed tariff revision. The confer-
was asked for by President
con, who had been studying the new
tariff bill for several days and
himself with many questions
which controversy have been
raised in the preparation of the Dem-
revision measure.
Other conference which to fol-
low with Mr. Underwood and Sen-
chairman of the finance
committee, will the of
the sugar, wool and agricultural
schedules, so far as the party leaders
can settle them, and will decide then
whether one general bill or
schedule bills shall be passed by the
house.
Tho opponents of free sugar, chiefly
representing tho cane growing sec-
of the south, have made strong
representations to the President
the last week, tho removal
of the duty from that product, and the
president has been weighing the
upon this and other tariff
questions.
Since his first conference with Mr.
President Wilson has gone
over the tariff bill in Immediate de-
tail with Secretary of the
department of commerce, for
tariff views he has high regard. It
was not thought that any detailed
rates would be under consideration at
tonight's conference, but that the
general questions as to the free ad-
mission of raw materials and the ex-
tent to which the duly should be re-
moved from agricultural products
articles largely consumed by tho pub-
were fully.
Efforts to bring the senate and the
house In accord before the details of
the new tariff bill becomes public are
to be made late this week. Senator
Simmons will ask
In tho Senate finance committee
meet Friday for the preliminary con
of the tariff. Al that time
it is thought that a copy the bill
prepared by the house ways and means
committee will be submitted to the
senators considered In
detail.
Should the senate committee deter-
mine that certain features of the bill
will not be acceptable in the senate,
efforts will be made to have the draft
of the bill changed by the house com-
or by the Democratic member-
ship of the house when It meets In
next week, so that house and
senate may be brought a complete
accord as possible In support of the
house hill.

section of the town. A large single-
story fronting on Pitt
belonging to tho heirs of Adelaide

the department and citizens reached

however, will only be temporary, it Is
said, as engineers gave as the cause
the passing of the crest in the
high water. The crest of the Ohio
flood waters Is still to come and
it is expected that before tonight the
readings will again be the
ascendancy.
Another cause for the standstill
was said to be due to the vast

that other nations might an-

recognize China before tho United

was believed that the United States
would be found first to show Its faith
in the new republic.
This afternoon at the request of the
secretary of state, members of most
of the foreign embassies and legations
In Washington appeared at the state
department and received
by Mr. Bryan. Among them
representatives of Brazil,
pan, Great Britain. Russia,
France, Germany, Netherlands, Bel-
glum, Sweden, Peru, Denmark, Mex-
and Spain. Tho
calls lasted but a few minutes in each
case and Secretary Bryan and
his visitors by agreement declined
to make any statement as to the ob-
of the visits.
A noticeable fact, however, was the
absence of the Chinese minister, and
it was concluded that in order to
vent a repetition of tho criticism In
foreign capitals occasioned by the
recent Chinese loan statement, tho
state department this instance has
given due notice of its intentions re-
to China and to all interested

fourths of a mile.
Those who are looking out for the
reinforcement of the levees did not
work to abate, even though
had stopped. Train service into
the city bad not been resumed to-
day. Only work trains came and
the sand hauled on these was rapidly
placed on the levees by a big force
of workmen.
Is held out that the waters
may continue to recede today or-
that tho city may be better
pared for tho high water which is
coining.

were at a standstill. All business was

The situation that results through-
out the country where many
have adjourned until 1915 is
such as to confusion In the
minds of members of the senate, as
to how the early steps toward direct
election of senators will be carried
out.
While the proclamation of the sec-

is required by law, Senators
and Horah, leaders in the direct
light in congress, expressed th-j
opinion today that the amendment In

said Senator Horah.
Tho new enactment gives to the
state legislatures, however, the right
to prescribe the methods for electing
senators. Many legislatures ad-
and will not convene until
early In 1915, a few weeks before the
of over senators expire. It
Is expected that in many states the
legislatures will adopt the plan
in the new amendment and
direct the governors to appoint
tors temporarily, until after the

The choice of a senator In Mary-

Jackson, would have been made
by the legislature next year under th

to provide laws by which a
popular election could occur next

In the opinion of members of the
no successor can be appointed
by the governor under the new pro-
vision when Senator Jackson's term
expires unless the legislature shall
