Wilson Overstepped Bounds in Interfer ing With Legislative Mat ters Representations., Washington, April ; 16. The Demo-' cratic caucus voted decisively, late to day to support the wool schedule, of the Underwood tariff bill, placing raw wool on the free list, after Represents tive Underwood "had, made a stirring appeal for. the support of the caucus. By a vote of 190 tos42, an amendment offered by Representative Dies, of Texas, to place ; raw ' wool on the du tiable list, was rejected. Representative Dies' amendment proposed to place a duty . of 15 per cent, ad valoremjon raw wool, he and other champions ot dutiable wool as serting that thiswas:the judgment of the Ways and Means Committee be fore President Wfilson saw the bill and suggested a change- v ' :.. Majority tieader Underwood, in winding up the discussion, warmly de fended both the committee and the Presidents He declared the President had a right to make suggestions to Congress relating to " the tariff, but that the bill as a . whole met with the chief executive's "approval when he first read it as it came from the committee.- . . . ; ' . - "Out of 4,000 and, more items in the bill", said Mr. Underwood, "the Presi dent only made two suggestions, those affecting the sugar and wool sched ules. It seems to me that we should accept those suggestions: from " the President of , the United States." Representatives Rainey, of Illinois, and Harrison of New York, also spoke on behalf of the ' Committee, .defendr. ins its-action and--th& attitude" of, the President; -The 'attack f upon the:- com mittee, and the ; President began.

Repre sentative " Alexander, of Missouri, de clared the committee : overstepped all proper bounds In holding- up President Wilson as a club over the heads of the members and that the President had exerted "undue influence" in hav ing wool placed on the free list' in the bill. . ; - .v Representative Montague, ofVir ginia, a new memljer, defended the President in a spirited speech, declar ing that it was his "constitutional and inherent right' to suggest what should go in a tariff bill and that neither he nor the committee were subject to cri ticism for. their co-operation in fram ing the bill. ; Representative Dies insisted Jthat the government was made up of three distinctive branches with separate du ties to perform. "It is not only the right of Congress." he said, "to origi nate revenue measures, but Its exciu-j sive right and any attempt from anoth er branch of the government to dic tate or interfere with that right should not be permitted by this body." . . The debate on this' phase of the tar iff fight was heated and prolonged. Among the principal supporters of the Dies amendment for a 15 per cent, du ty were Representatives Ashbrook, Post and'Bathrick, of Ohio; Ferguson, of New Mexico; Adair and Cline, of Indiana, and Stout, of Montana, The 42 Democrats who voted for the 15 per cent, duty were Adair, Barn hart and Cline, of Indiana; Alexan der, of Missouri; Ashbrook, Bathrick, Claypool, Francis, Post, Sharp, Wjhit acre and White, of Ohio; Broussard, Dupre, Elder, Estopinal, Lazaro . and.

Before reaching wool, . the caucus disposed of the cotton and flax sched ules, voting down -all amendments to lower or increase the duties proposed in the comqjittee bill, ; It is expected that more rapid progress will be made in caucus consideration of the : bill from now on; .

The antir trust suit against the Brazilian Va lorization Scheme the so-called cof fee trust will be dismissed within a few days by Attorney Genera.1 Mc Reyholds as a result of definite as surances from the Brazilian govern ment that the 20,000 bags of coffee valued at jio,000,000, stored in New York, have been "sold to bona fide pur chasers. - - " Attorney GeneVal . McReynolds to day said the United States would acr cept Brazil's assurances that the cof fee no longer was in control of the valorization committee.

Had the compromise not been reach ed, it was within the -power of- the United States government to seize the coffee under a new law passed by Congress as a direct result of the cof fee suit., - , While the dismissal of the suit, which was developed by William T. Chanthtfid,. special assistant to the at torney general, will terminate the civil proceedings against the valoriza tion plan, it is understood that the Department of Justice will keep a close watch on the valorized coffee which has been sold, to see that it does not fait in the hands of concen trated interests. : Government officials were confident tonight that the moral effect of the amicable adjustment by which ' the United .

WEATHER BUREAU CHIEF IS REMOVED President Wilson Withdraws Acceptance of Prof. Moore's Resignation CHARGES - OF IRREGULARITY Case Referred te Department, of Jus- tice for Further Inquiry Pro ''motion of .Campaign for. ' Commissioner Washington, April 1G . Professor Willis "Ii.; Moore, chief; of the Weather Bureau since 18&5, and an appointee of - the Cleveland administration, to- ay was summarily removed from of fice by President Wilson. His resignation recently had- been accepted to take effect July 31st, but after an investigation of his alleged efforts to become 'Secretary of "AgriT culture in the present cabinet, grave charges - of irregularity were pref erH red and the President today withdrew his acceptance of the resignation, dis missing Prof. Moore. Later" he re-' ferred the subiect to the Department of Justice for inquiry. Secretary Houston, of the Agricul tural Department, conferred with the resident before the removal of Mr. Moore was announced. The secretary then issued the following statement: immediately arter tne resignation of Prof.. Moore, of the Weather Bu reau, was submitted to the President and accepted - by him, charges were niea wim rne secretary or Agriculture by responsible men -within ; the ser vice. These charges were of . such a grave nature that the Secretary of Agriculture - called upon the . Depart ment of Justice for an investigation. "The -investigation -Is still under way but the facts 'so far secured and laid ibefore the President yesterday, were sufficient to warrant him in de ciding to withdraw his acceptance of rror. Moore a resignation and. remove him summarily, nvhich has, been done todays The President has also direct ed; the Secretary of Agriculture ta-sus- pena.wxjtUL'haries' t. Burns, an. em ploye of tthe Weather s Bureau, pending a further investigation , of his case, and ,-: take such disciplinary ; measures as tie may "deem" necessary with such other,-.employes of the Weather Bu reau as may be found to have been unduly -active in using the public ser vice for private and personal ends." The , President s letter to Secretary Houston, directing Mr. Moore's re moval-was not made public. Unofficially it was said at the White House that-the campaign to make Mr. Moore Secretary o , Agriculture had been extensive; that; members of Con gress in various parts of the country had been canvassed and. that a letter writing, campaign had been conducted among -Weather Bureau employes. Prof. Moore has been a target for attack in Congress. Representative Fowler, of Illinois, introduced a reso lution a few days ago, calling on the Secretary of Agriculture to advise Congress regarding the appropriations for official traveling expenses for the Weather Bureau, what amount of the lump of salaries in the Weather Bu reau was expended for promotions of Weather Bureau employes during last January and February and the com parative figures for the preceding'four years. . The resolution asked for in formation as to what - journeys were performed by Charles T. Burns,: under official orders and under what instruc tions between July 1st, 1912, and Feb ruary; 2 8th, last, and also called for data t-egarding circulars and other matter printed at government ex pense and "used by the chief of the Weather Bureau in his campaign for Secretary of Agriculture during the last fiscal, year." The House Committee on Expendi tures in the Agricultural Department had planned last year an exhaustive investigation into the Weather Bu reau but was prevented from making it on account of . the Wiley inquiry, the Florida everglades case and oth er special - matters. Representative Moss, : of Indiana, and- Democratic members of the committee did take up special charges filed against Prof. Moore by James Berry, a former em ploye of the Weather Bureau, - which' related " to misuse of tha contingent fund. The committee, Mr. Moss said today, ' never found enough in these charges -to press tnem ior runner m- quiry. It is proposea, nowever, to conduct, a - thorough investigation of the bureau as soon as the' committee is organized' which probably, will not be until the regular session next Win ter. . ; Snap Judgment, Says Prof. (Moore. 1 Washington, April 16.

"ANDREA AMICI," The fact; however, that the bronchial affection is . not responding . to treat ment' detracts somewhat from the hopeful character of the report, as the occasional paroxysms of coughing are taxing the strength of the patient who already has been under a great strain. The condition of albuminuria has reappeared and to relieve the kidneys hot-baths have been ordered.

Further improvement in the Pope's condition was shown by the fact that he was able to retain a quantity of chicken jelly and that he slept peace fully for a considerable time. Early in the evening he: acknowledged that he was feeling the benefit of the absolute rest imposed upon him and that he felt' more inclined to sleep naturally than at any time since his illness . The Pope is extremely concerned at the trouble he gives to those around him, often; expressing to them his deeii gratitude, especially, those whd assist, him at night, repeatedly." urging them to go to . bed and sometimes his insistence is so marked that to satisfy h'im, they leave the room. .
