WILL HASTEN CONFERENCE Tariff Blll to Be Ready for President in Ten Days. Washington, Sept. 11.—The Demo- cratic tariff revision bill, as it passed the senaie changed in many particu- lars from the form in which it left the house over four months ago, went back to that body and will find its way into a joint conference commit- tee where the finishing touches will be given to it. The senate stole a march upon the house when, immediately after pass- ing the bill, it decided to “insist upon its amendments” and ask for a con- ference. Under this procedure when the bill went to the house there was nothing for the house to do but to accept the amendments or meet the request of the senate for the appoint- ment of a house committee. The move of the senate leaders, while formal in character, saved a | day's time in getting the bill into the joint conference committee. Preliminary conferences within the last two weeks between Representa- tive Underwood and Senator Simmons, the tariff leaders of the two bodies, have led ‘o an understanding that little time will be consumed in the conference discussion of the bill. It Is predicted that the measure prob- ably will be ready for the president within ten days. Cable Breaks and Kills lowan. Mason City, Ia., Sept. 11.—John E. Heiney was killed when a cable broke and struck him in the abdomen. seventy-five feet on the water line.

BOMB EXPLODED IN DOORWAY OF BANK More Than Twenty Persons g Injured at Chicago. a Chicago, Sept. 11.—More than twenty persons were injured, three buildings were partly wrecked and windows within a radius of half a mile were shattered by the explo- sion of a bomb in the doorway of the private bank conducted by Alex- ander Conforti. The injured were cut by glass and thrown from their beds by the force of the concussion. The explosion revealed Toni Digrazia, watchman in the bank, as Chicago’s heaviest sleeper. Although persons residing a mile away were aroused he was found asleep in a room in the rear and was awakened with difficulty. The explosion was heard for sev- eral miles and aroused thousands of residents of the South and West Sides. It is believed by thte police to be the work of Italian blackmail- ers. Conforti admitted that a year ago he received three letters de- manding $7,000, but said he ignored | them.
