J Y I Si IDERWOODJISf & FQRETHE1BILL Present BiUj WiMass the Caucus J HAS lilEmriiLIIIE Objectors Are Allowed to Talk But That'hAU LHOEB FAVORS A SINGLE BILL If the Tariff Measure l Sent to the . Senate as a Single Bill It Must Act on it As Such. By JAME8 J. MONTAGUE. Washington, April 10. So easy in his mind is Chairman Underwood, of the house ways and means commit tee, that the Wilson-Underwood tar iff, bill will go galloping through ths house that be sent the majority re port of the comipitee to tbe printer today. The report Jncludes that bill drafted by Mfttitaiufrwood with the president's consent; It also includes an elaborate defense of the bill. The report will not be submitted of ficially to the bouse, till Monday. Un til the' preceding Saturday the caucus, which was called yesterday, will de bate the bill behind; closed doors. All opponents of the bill as it stands will be given an opportunity to talk. And when they have all talked the bill will be reported jUBt as if there had been nothing said. The earthenware fend metal sched ules were discussed today, but Un derwood easily squelched the objec tors to the bill as drawn.' Some ex citement was caused by the spread of a rumor that President Wilson had been issuing his "as high as Haman threat in a modified but nevertheless disquieting ifprml be president was quoted as saying '-that if anybody started to engineer a panic as a re- vlt the "tewsr' tarJnH;he 4 ederat machinery would be employed to in diet him. - The rumor could hot be traced back to its source but it never theless made a lot of talk. While no official action was taken in the star chamber house caucus on dividing the bill it has been practical ly settled by Mr. Underwood and dth er leaders that the bill will be passed as a whole without a separate bill for sugar and wool. A. Mitchell Palmer, who has "been acting as the presi dent's spokesman in the caucus, has agreed to this. If the house sends the tariff in one bill to the senate the senate must act on it as one bill. . , . Of course there is fighting in the caucus, but like cages in the supreme court entitled . "the people of the United States against Jones," it is an unequal contest. The Pennsylvania men have protested, against the re duction of 25 to 45 per cent on knit goods. Representative Rothermel, of the Keystone state, told the caucus today that this was robbery rather than reduction. Davis, of West Vlrarlnia. who retire sents the biggest pattery manufacture Ing In this country, made violent ob- pections to that schedule. The su gar men of Colorado and Louisiana, the wool men of Montana, Nevada and Ohio, and the agricultural ma chinery and machine tool men of Ohio and Rhode Island, declined to agree to the reduction on these manufac tures and raw products. The only con sultation they got was the assurance that they would be excused from vot ing on the bill. ' O'Shaughenessy, of Rhode Island, made a speech insisting that the du ty on machine tools be made the same as that In the Payne-Aldrich bill, but the speech was barren of results. Representatives Thompson and "Alfalfa Bill" Murray, of Oklahoma, without objecting any particular pro gramme, wanted to know why Mr. 'Underwood should be running every thing while sovereign representatives had nothing to say. Mr. Underwood referred them to the caucus which voted down their protests almost unanimously. Giving proof of their loyalty and of the compactness of the Underwood organisation, the house stood by hira today In the democratic caucus to prevent changes In the bill, although some attempted to shirk and attend the game that marked the opening of the baseball season. The democrats will resume the caucus session at 11 o'clock tomorrow and Underwood will make a fight to hasten consideration of the bill. It Is doubted tonight whether a final vole can be had in caucus before tbe latter part or next week and the bill may not be thrown In the house for consideration before April 20. The Wsather.

Big Jeff Tesreau was McG raw's of fering, perdue occupied the slab for the Braves and the latter's twirling was unbeatable. Two hits were all the usually heavy slugging Giants could gather, while the Braves slam med Tesreau for ten, which counted heavily, especially when taken in cod notion with the errors of the Giants. The visitors batted the whole way around in the ninth, two errors, two passes and three hits re sulting In four runs. Crandall relieved Tesreau In the sixth but could not stop the Braves. Maranville, shortstop for Boston, made three hits out of four times at bat. and Titus, right field for Boston, made three hits out of five times at bat.

Boston, April 10 Twenty-one thousand enthusiastic fans saw the Athletics beat "the Red Sox 10 to 9 in a weird opening or tne American league season here today. Each team sent three pitchers to the . mound. Both pitching and fielding were raw because of extreme cold weather.

Negotia Hons between the International rail way and the striking employes were blocked today when they practically failde to reach an agreement under whieh the men could return to work. A sympathetic strike on the part of every union man in Buffalo is con sidered probable if not inevitable. This' would mean a complete tie-up of practically all lines of business and cripple the city. President Meldrum, of the-chamber of commerce, tonight called on the of ficials of the company tomake some decided effort to end the strike which he said had already cost the business men of the city $1,200,000. Cars on two lines which were re opened this morning under the pro tection of the militia were taken off tonight In many parts of the city the public refused to ride on the "scab driven cars and thousands an nounced that they will not patronize the company unless the men are re turned to work.

C, Tucker, a White Man, Wa Mysteriously Shot and Coroner' Ju Hold John Fogle man for the Crime. Greensboro. N. C April 10. Spec ial. The police today are grappling with a murder which offers even mora baffling circumstances than surround ed the shooting of young Ralph Earn hardt Monday night. Just before midnight last night W. C. Tucker, a white man about 35 years of age, was shot from ambush in the full glare of an electric lamp. He died almost instantly. Later three men were seen running at a distance of several blocks from the shooting. One was a white man and the other two negroes. Their identity is unknown but the police are positive that with its dis covery the identity of the gunmen will be known. The shooting occurred at the corner of Percy and ast Market street and is a notorious negro section. Within the block three murders and Innumerable shooting affairs have occurred within the past year. The position of the corpse and other facts indicate that the gunmen lay In a1 ravine on the op posite side of the street which paral lels the railroad tracks and which is under the shadow of a negro vaude ville house. From this point it would have been easy to have drawn bead on the victim when he cam Withia the glare of the electric light It is believed a rifle was uaedw especially so since the one shot fired from distance of thirty feet entered the left temple and went through the right side of the head. No one who actually witnessed the shooting has been found though sev eral people reported seeing three men running fast at a point further along East Market street It Is believed the gunmen circled behind the picture show house and later came back into Market street. The police today are following several clues, but are hand icapped principally by their inability to trace Tucker's movements during the night. It is believed, however, that he had been to some of the resorts in that section whicji just now are In a state of turmoil because of recent police and detective activities. The only motive the police know is that the gunmen believed Tucker was an In former. They declare however, that he has never played such a role. The dead man was a painter by trade and leaves a wife and two small children. Developments In the shooting of Tucker were rapid and sensational this afternoon. Tonight John Fogle nian, a white man of good connec tions, though himsel under charge of retailing and out on $2,500 bond, ta in jail charged with firing the deadly shot. Two negroes, Will Blunt and Fletcher Reed, are held as material witnesses for the state. The coroner concluded his hearing at S o'clock to night and the verdict was that the deceased came to- his death from gun shot wounds fired by Fogleman. The first leak came from a negro who admitted that Fogleman and the two negroes held were the men aeen running from the scene. Foglemaa was already under suspicion and offi cers had been search Inr for fcim since the shootine.
