TO CUT WOOL TARIFF 35 PER CENT. Compromise Bill Passed in Senate by Coa- lition of Insurgents and Democrats WAY NOW OPEN FOR FREE LIST BILL Passage of That Measure by Same Combination Practi- cally Assured—House Bill Calls For 20 Per Cent. Reduction on Wool and. Conference Will Follow— Connecticut Senators Vote Against the Revision. Washington, July 27.—Out of whaty had appeared a chaotic situation 1 the senate, thera suddenly arose today & coalition of democrats and insurgerit republicans which bowled over the regular republican organization _amd passed a compromise bill for the ie- vision of the woolen tariff by 48 to 22 Senators Brandegee and McLean voted against the bilk May Pass Free List Bill. This new force in the senate united on a material reduction of tariff duties all down the line, and flushed 1with victory tonight is threatening not on to enact tha so-called farmers’ froe list bill into law next Tuesday but to put through a cotton bill as well. Underwood Hopeful of Agreemient. The insurgents want the sugar and steel schedules included in the - gramme. The houss democratic leai- ers are not willing to accept the com- promise hill as it passed the senate today, but they are more than willing to meet the senate conferzes. Chair- man Underwood of the house ways and means committee expressed the belie® tonight that a bill satisfactory to both houses was more than likely to be agreed upon. Puts Wool Issue Up to Taft. This would put the wool issue up President Taft, and there is much sneculation_as to what his course waould be. Mr. Taft will make no com- men: on the situation. Althouzh the president has denounced the present woolen schedule of the Payne-Aldrica law as indefensible, there have been [be had from the proposed rates on strong hints from the White House jraw wool.

Indeed, the democratic leaders are said to be- lieve that politically their position would be greatly strengthened if Mr. Taft vetos L. Regulars Believe a Veto is Certain. The regular republicans, on the other hand, are inclined to boast that exec- utive disapproval would not be to their disadvantage and surely would be forthcoming. They say that revision of the future should be of a scientific rature. Irsurgents Want to Stay All Summer. What effect the senate coalition as perfected today will have upon the date of adjournment cannot be prophe- sied. The house democrats are frankly anxious for ths situation to end. The insurgents declare they are angious to remain in Washington “all summer” to enact tariff legislation. Bill Drawn by La Follette. The bill as passed by the senate to- day was drawn by Senator LaFolletts and was a compromise between the Underwood bill which passed the dem- ocratic house and tne original LaFol- lette bill, both of which were forced l out of tha way by decisive votes be- fore the new measure was adopted.

The agreement under which the wool "bill was put through extends to the l{farmers’ free list now on the senate icalendar, and the passage of that (fmeasure in_modified form seemed as- gsured tonight.

Lisbon, July 27.—The monarchist in- vasion of Portugal from the north, to be foliowed by a-peasant rising, which bas-been expected daily, has not yet materialized, The monarchist-agents permit the information that first one day and then another has been/fixed for the outbreak te fali into the hands of the government. The provisional administration thus is kept in a state of uneasiness and is obliged to main- tain expensive measures for defense. Commercial and financial interests are kept worried, not knowing the hour when the projected coupfer rev- olution. will begin. The government has actually en the morthern frontiers ten thousand men. The conviction of the cabinet appears to be that some- thing must happen in no great while! but the ministers are also convinced that they are wholly competent to deal with it. The Lisbon newspapers have sent correspondents to the frontier in an_anticipation of fighting. The monarchists say that they have upwards of ten thousand men ready to invade Portugal, put these figures are reduced by other and more reliable information to between 3,000 and” 4,000 adherents who are under pay and un- der arms.

WAR UPON THE TRUSTS Department of Justice Is Investigat- ing About 1,000 Complaints. Washington, July 27.—The depart- ment of justice is planning immediate prosecution of all trusts or monoepo- lies which do mnot dissolve or take other steps to obey the Sherman law as it has been interpreted in the Standard Oil, Tobacco and Powder trust cases. Attorney General Wick- ersham is authority for the statement that all' such will be brought before the courts as soon as proceedings can be_instituted. To make the Sherman law effective, the department’s anti-trust bureau is now being worked to its capacity. Probably one thousand complaints of existing monopoligs, restraints or ille- gal agreements to control the prices of commodities ranging from feather dusters to telephones, are now being Investigated. The secret agents of the bureau have been scattered over the country and in many instances an investigation of an alleged trust is going on in a dozen states at the same time. One of the promised results of this policy is that the sovernment will have in the courts before the end of the calendar year probably a dozen anti-trust suits in which the depart- ment feels assured of success.

Henwood characterized his treatment by the court and prosecutor as “perse- cution,” and declared that his attorney ‘had been “bound and gagged by rul- ings of the court,” and that his trial for the killing of George E.

Later when she was recall- ed “a package of letters written by her to Von Phul were placed on the prose- cutor’s table in plain view and she was confronted with a threat that they would be erad in open court if she teseified to any facts in my behalf. Not only this, but her otherwise keen mind was dulled by drugs.” “I am riow ready for your unjust sentence,” he concluded. Judge Whitford listened attentively ‘he defendant “I am not_surprised,” said“he, “at your state of mind, since vou have been surrounded by all classes of pris- oners, fourteen of whom T recently sent there. “T am of the opinion that the verdict of the jury in your case should have been first degree murder. I believe that vou shot Von Phul because of jealousy over Mrs. Springer. But for Some reason the jurors returned a finding of second degree murder.

Berlin, July 27.—Premier Asquith's declaration is generally favorably re- ceived here, and it is believed in most quarters that it will immediately re- lieve the tension in the Morocean ques- tion. All the newspapers publish Mr. Asquith’s statement verbatim on the principal page. Some of the leading Jjournals, however, make no editorfal commeni. These are chiefly the cen- servative Pan-American organs. The others refer briefly to passages imn the British premier's statement which ars considered hers unnecessarily sharp. The liberal papers unanimously ac- claim the premier’s speech as ome tending towards peace. THE MOMAUGUIN DESTROYED IN EARLY MORNING FIRE. Resort Near $10,000 Loss. New Haven, Conn., July 28—The Momauguin, one of the best known summer resorts on the sigre, together with Hoyt's pavilion, bath® houses and dance hall, were destroyed by fire ear'y this morning, with a loss that will ex- ceed $10,000. The fire was discovered shortly aftar 1 o'clock in the Momau- guin, which is owned by the Connect! cut company and run by Robert Calia- han of this city. The buflding was of wooden construction and the flames spread rapidly to the pavilion close to it. There is no fire protection at Momauguin and the nearest engine was at East Haven, which was sent to the scene, but too late to save the property. Irr close proximity to the Momauguin and the pavilion are many cottages, and it is fearsad that the fire may spread to these buildings. The fire presented to those Hving along the shore one of the most bril- liant spectacles imaginable. The flamezs rose high in the air and were seen from Meriden and Bridgeport. The Momauguin was a two-story woeoden structure with a large central dining room and surrounded with large porch- es. Located on the water's edge, it af- forded a fine view of New Haven har- bor and Long Island sound and was a favorite place for gatherings of all kinds. It was at the Momauguin that the politiclans held their feasts and set- tled many questions of political inter- est to the state. The beach is a par- ticularly fine one for bathing and the bath houses, owned by F. W. Hovt of this city, were daily patronized by crowds from this city and th2 sur- rounding towns. All the buildings we clustered together and as the weather has been exceedingly dry made an easy prey for ths flames. The loss, coming as it does at the busy season of the vear, will be a par- ticularly hard one to the resort, FOUR MONEY LENDERS ARRESTED AT ATLANTA Charged With Using the Mails to Pro- mote a Lottery.
