Washington, April 9. -In the inter est of succesa for the Democratic tar iff revision 'hill, President Wilson stepped over another obstacle today in the way of perfect harmony be tween the White . House and ' the "di recting forces of ' Congress. For th& second successive' day,: he left his 0f. flees in the White House and journey ed to the capitol, this time for an hour and a half conference "with Democratic members of the Senate '.Finance Conv mittee. - '";-' ' - :;' At its conclusion , the President stat ed frankly to newspaper men that he and members of ,the Senate were agreed that nothing stood in the way 01 narmomous support' of the party J piauorm as 10 laxiii. revision. v- ed in detail in the conference- The dangers that might' threaten S single bill, should the opponents of free su gar and free wool combine r in sufll cient strength to endanger the Demo cratic majority in , the Senate, were discussed, but no agreement was reached that binds the Senate leaders to any definite line of action. ' While the Senate conference was in progress, the full : Democratic mem bership of the Housewas in. caucus at the other end of the capital, discuss ing the details 'of: the; tariff bill,, the first schedule ,of which r was - agreed to without change. Representative Underwood, the Democratic leader, stated at the conclusion of the- day's caucus that- the tariff- revision would go ithrough the House as a single bill. efQtirt uMing precedent in-seeking a Jegls-l ike conference wfthliT the capMil lati He VmetiSstaatsrs in the PresiS where Presidents have long : come -to sign the last bills of a dying.

Democratic simplicity, stepped into" the Senate corridor to' tell newspaper men -the' results -of the meeting. (Members 6f: the Senate Fi nance Committee had agreed that the.

"I hope therSenators and Repre sentatives will t hermit r me to come here frequently and confer-with them in a way to save -their time and mine," he said.

' .-'. : " "But they will be guided by your ad vice, will they not?" he was asked by the newspaper men. f ( ' "I haven't asked them," rejoined the President with a, smile. The President had been informed by the Senators -f ully v'of the difficulties ahead .of the i tariffs bill , ;if it came to the Senate as a sihgle measure. Furth er investigation is to be made to de termine . the strength that could : be mustered by opponnets of free sugar and free wool. -As a result' of today's conference, which - is ' t- be resumed J later, it .is believed the President will not object if Senate leaders determine it is essential that the tariff be split up into a number of measures. President .Wilson's decision to visit the capitol was communicated' to-Sen ator Simmons and to the sergeant-at arms of the Senate early in the day. Senator Simmons was notified that the President would be in his room at the capitol at 3 o'clock and would like to resume there .the conference with Finance Committee members, ' whic'B began Monday -morning at the White House. Extreme simplicity surround ed the President's arrival at and de parture from the capitol.

Everybody at the farm credits conference got enthusias tic today and some of them became excited in discussing the high cost of living, the meagre returns to the farm er on his products and the best, means of readjusting the economic problem at present very much awry as among the agriculturists, middlemen and the ultimate consumer. . - There was such a wealth-of opinion clamoring for expression that' it could .not be crowded into the two sessions provided by the programme and a ses sion was held tonight at which the pressure was somewhat relieved. Speeches down on the programme were delivered by Harry Pratt Judson, president of the University of Chica go; C. W. Thompson, of Minneapolis ; Hatton W. Summers, of Dallas, Texas; J. H. Page, of Arkansas, and W. J. Spillman, of the Department of Jus tice, at Washington. B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the board of directors of the 'Frisco lines, is ill at a sanitarium; but an address prepared by him was read to the conference. Louis W.

S. Moberly, president of "the Farmers Union of .Arkansas, and. Geo. McKerrow, superintendent Of Farmers' Institute of Wisconsin.

The Arkansan averred that, compar ed with the business men of ihe citiesi the farmer cannot organize., finance and manage a co-operative scheme. - j "The farmers of my State," declared McKerrow, "not only can, but have or ganized many permanently successful companies. They do business like any city firm." - '' ' . He cited the organizations of dairy and fruit men as. examples. : Moberly said there was a vast-difference between handling cotton and handling dairy products,-owing-to the immense difficulty of grading cottonr The time of production and the fact that half the cotton crop is marketed Within a period of -three months were other difficulties, he said. In addition the cotton growers have no storage fa cilities. - Co-operative warehouses have failed, he saidi : ; Mr. Summers, .who is a member of Congress, said that as the necessities of the people change, the scope of gov ernment must change and that -the matter of farm credits was a legiti mate concern of the National govern ments The speaker said with the rush from the farms to the cities which fol- slowed the introduction of rapid transit the margin between farm " production and general consumption ihad 'become dangerously narrow.- The- high prices of today are the sinister shadow of. comipg hunger cast upon the land, he asserted. There is kntr system of car rying . over the surplus of bountiful years, to care for the lean years.v r Mr. Thompson discussed reasons why farmers are not effectively organ ized, declaring the greatest reason was that : they were . unwilling to- pay enough that they should put theirmon er inta organization they must - put themselves into it. .

J HQ IMMEDIATE DANGER Improvement During Night and ThiS Maintained During Day Scenes About Vatican Recall III- I ness of Pope Leo XIII. VJ Rome, April 9, All official reports regarding the condition of Pope Piual X agree that his condition is not grave) and that there is no immediate danger. Anxiety, however, continues on ac count of the 'weakness of the pontlffi and the action of his heart which is inj need of constant stimulation. . The attending physicians found thati the condition of the Pope had improv. ed during the night and this improve- ment was maintained throughout the day, although trie afternoon tempera ture showed a slight increase. Again this evening his temperature rose slightly, but the difference from that ol the afternoon was hardly perceptible. The patient's weakness is being treat ed by -the regular admjnstration o eggs beaten in milk, but, the lack off nourishment Contributes to the depres sion from which the Pope puffers. The relapse is following , the same . course as the original attack of . influ enza, a cough being, present; with Jr : ritation M the bronchial tubes and, difficulty-in respiration which has- ledV to the report in seme cases that the Pope is afflicted with asthma. This,, however, is erroneous. The condition, ef albumenuria which usually- accom panies Influenza,' also Is present, maiv catihgrait inflammation of the' kidneyav of greater or lesser, degree.'"

It was reported that. Cardinal Kat schthaler, archbishop -of Salzburg, had postponed his departure as he wished ' to be in Rome in case of eventualities, , but this proved Hot to be true as he left here tdday for his home; and this" is considered another evidence that . the pontiff has really improved or at least that the danger is not imminent . The spectacle of the Immense " square in front Of St Peter's today recalled the scenes during the Illness of Pope Leo XIII, but instead of a burning July sun ag in 1903, there was a downpour of rain. This, did pot pre- -vent thousands of pilgrims from gath ering and gazing with 'grave anxiety: at the .three windows of the room on , the third floor of the apbfctollc palace where the Pope lives, or from direct ing sympathetic glances at the little house in the square below where the . sisters of the Pope occupy a moderate apartment on the top. floor.
