Washington, April 10. "Fifteen per cent nd valorem duty on raw wool," Was the slogan of organized opposition to free wool when the democratic cnu cur today resumed consideration of the new tariff bill. With southern and New England democrats still fighting the cotton rates proposed in the new' measure, the anti-free wool members were planning their attack on schedule K, which the caucus expected to reach before the close of the day. At an early morning conference of democrats from Ohio. Indiana, West Virginia and many of the western states, it was decided to stand by their decision to light for a 15 per cent duty which they claim was the original judgment of the ways and means committee before consulation with President Wilson,. ! Representative Ashbrook of Ohio, who has presided over the anti-fret wool conferences, prepared to lead the fight on the caucus floor. Though the opposition claims to have the sympathies of more than 60 demo cratic members, the administration leaders Insist' that they cannot muster that many votes on an amendment to change the bill as presented to the caucus. .y; Chairman TTnderWrd.. after an ear ly conference With'-Presiaqnt Wilson expressed confidence that the tariff bill would be approved by the house caucus without important amendment within the next three or four days. Mr. Underwood declared that while the democratic majority was suffl elentlv strong to put the measure through the house within a short time, the democrats would permit the minority to be fully; lizard. "Of course, there will be many amendments from our republican friends," he said, "but the bill will pass the house just as it is approve bv the caucus and with only a few minor changes. "You can t write a tariff bill of 4000 Items without forgetting to cross a "t and dot an "I" here and there. Ine dualities always creep in and these have to be adjusted." Mr. Underwood said he had merely explained some details to the presi dent today and informed him of the progress of the democratic caucus. An amendment to place cotton stockings on the free list and another to reduce the proposed rate of 40 anfl id valorem were voted Judge Junius G.

Hyams for the nomination for al- erman from the second ward, by a majority of 206. A. G. Barnett de feated Kingsland Van Winkle for al- erman-at-large by a majority of 48. Stikeleather defeated Cloyd Pennell for alderman from the fourth ward a majority of 286. Felmet was nominated for treasurer over W. W. Patton by a majority of 138. The number of votes polled by each candidate was as follows: Mayor, J. Rankin 1360; Alderman-at-large, Q. Barnett 700, Van Winkle 652; second ward alderman, Patterson 787, Hyams 571; alderman of fourth ward, Stikeleather 823, Pennell 537; alder man of pixth ward, W. E.

Scores of people worked throughout the day for their favorites, and some of the races were close enough to be in doubt until the last reclnct was heard from. There was probably more Interest In the race for Police justice than any other. By ome means the people had gathered the Impression yesterday that this race would be very close, and there were ny number who declared that Judge Brown would he named.

By Associated Press. Washington, April 14. Charles H. Mann, for more than a quarter ot century superintendent of the pre gallery of the house of representatives, died earlv today after an Illness of several weeks. He was 74 years old Me had been In bad health for several months and In spite of the advice of his friends Insisted upon remaining it hla post during the trying days of the lust ncsslon. He failed shortly alter wards. the first ward Was finished it could be seen that he would be renamed by a large majority. As a matter of fact Judge Adams led the ticket. , The result of the Stikeleather-Pen-nell race caused another surprise In some quarters. It had been predicted that this race would be close but Mr. Stikeleather had the second highest majority. This large majority was rolled up by the hard work of the friends of Mr. Stikeleather, who drop ped everything and went to his sup port when they came to feel that his renomination was in doubt. It waa expected that the Barnett Van Winkle race would be close and It waa the closest In the primary. It was not settled which would be named until the last precinct had reported. . In the Patterson-Hyams race there were indications that the count would be close when the first returns were received, but Mr. Patterson gained In the last and finally rolled up a good majority, although not so large as his friends expected he would have done. The Felmet-Patton race for treas urer was also rather close for a time. First one and then the other would forge ahead until the returns from the last two precincts were received, In both of which Mr. Telmet led, which gave him a good majority. Although there was such great, in terest in the primarY yesterday was a quiet day and there was no trouble anywhere so far as has been reported. The people worked but they worked quietly and the best of feeling pre vailed until the very last vote was counted. It could be seen that some were keenly disappointed, especially with regard to the race for Police jus tice, but they took It with good grace.

FATHER IS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDERjF HIS SON Stood on Track in Front of Engine, Boy Was Killed, Father Had Leg Broken. By Associated Press. , , Washington, April 16. The alien land holding lull us passed by the lower house of the California legisla ture yesterday In Its amended form Is regarded by the officials here as much more difficult than the original meas ure for the Japanese government to oppose successfully, for the reason ' that it now closely follows the lines of the alien ownership act, which for the pat decade has been strictly enforced in the District of Columbia and the territories of the United States with out objection from any foreign govern ment, : To lodge an objection to the meas- ure, based on strict equality, probably it would be necessary for the Japanese government, by decree, to extend to American residents In Japan the right to acquire property in fee simple, a privilege which, although intended to be conferred by treaty, so far has been withheld In general application. The attitude of the administration and of the Japanese embassy here, in spite of yesterday's action, of the Cali fornia assembly, must continue to be one of observation at this stage, be cause a generally similar bill, although different in detail, remains to be final ly passed in jthe- Callfornla- aenate.. Then fhere must be conference to " reconcile the difference between the two houses and back of it all Is the , action of the governor of California. While the situation is tn Its present stage, there Is no official ground for action on the part of the administra tion or the Japanese, embassy, al though no attempt is made to disguise the fact that privately every effort Is being set forth to bring the alien land bill into an unobjectionable shape. Secretary Bryan conferred with President Wilson today about develop ments in the California legislature. No announcement was made, but the president arranged to see Secretaries Lane of the interior department and Houston of the agricultural depart ment later in the day to discuss the situation. Mr. Lane hails from Cali fornia, while Mr. Houston has given much study to alien land questions.
