Rep- resentative Underwood, democrail house leader, who will reach Wash- ington this week, has given no indl- cation as yet of his own plans, and it xpected that -democratic leaders will confer ag length over the situa tion before advising President-elect Wilsen of any tentative arrangements. Two Methods Suggested. Many members now favor a general bill covering many or all schedules of the tariff law to be framed as a par tial or complete substitute for the ne-Aldrich law. Those who ad nce this plan claim it would be the speedlest way of fulfilling tariff plans. Others favor combining in a single bill those measures passed during the last two years but vetoed by President Taft and the preparation of other single schedule bills to follow this measure. Want Session Called Mareh. If the plan to revise the entire tarift Jaw in a single bill should be adopted it is belleved demo: c leaders will urge the calling of the special session before April 15. That date was set b President-elect Wilson as the latest upon which he would assemble the new congre: Democrats now here believe the new house can begin work in March, seon after the present administration re tires from power, and be organized and ready for tariff legislation early in April Hearings Will Bs Short. It is expected that short hearings will be given by the house wavs and means committee to industries vitally affected by proposed tariff changes. The extent of these hearings, accord ing to democratic members of the house %ho favor them, will not bs such as to interfere with early action on the, tariff bills. Schedules May Be Distributed. The plan of distributing the various tariff schedules among sub-commi of the ways and means commit which was .resorted to last year, . found to operate satisfactorily both in saving time and in obtaining the in- formation necessary to the work of the committee, and It is expected that this expedient will be adopted again. MAINE WOMAN TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER Mre Elsie Raymond Charged with Strangling Mattie Haokett. Augusta, Me. Nov. 17.—After a lapse of seven years the mysterious murder of eighteen year old Mattie Hackett of Readfield will be brought to the attention of the supreme court next Tuesday, when Mrs. Elsie Hobbs Raymond, a mnelghbor of the Hackett family, is placed on trial here, charged with committing the erime. The girl was strangled on the avening of Octo- ber 17, 1905, by a cord tied about her neck. The murdered girl was the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Hackett and lived on her father's farm at Read- field. On the evening of October 1905, she was left alone in the house. Her mother and sister had gone to call at a neighbor's, and her father was busy ,about the barn, when screams for help attracted his atten- tion.

When this waxed and waned, hat the lover did not come, the girl reported her troubles to the police. .The accused weman was held $1,500 bail. in Smooth Sea for Wilson.
