The demo cratic luriff bill, as amended by the bouse caucus, was reintroduced In the bouse today and will be called up for :,cneral debate Immediately. The bouse committee Is considering a reso lution to limit the time for discus sion and to put the bill to its passage us rapidly as possible. A resolution offered In the caucus would limit debate to eight legislative clays, the number of amendments to ouch schedule to two, and permit' only two amendments' to the bill as a v hole. That was designed to prevent prolonged delay by the introduction by the minority of numerous amend ments to each schedule when the bill Is taken up under the live minute rule. Should that resolution pas?, It is estimated that at least three weeks will be required for house considera tion of the bill. " With the reintroduction of the bill today views of the minority attacking It were presented to the house by Kepresentutlve Screno Payne and his republican colleagues of the ways and isieanj .committee. They maintained that the bill is uncalled for, that its provisions' already' 'have", alarmed the country and that should it pass it will bring down wages to the level of those In foreign countries. The entire ways and means commit tee will meet lute today to formally pass on the bill and the majority re port by Hepresentatlve Underwood I-totably will be made to the house tomorrow. Chairman L'nderwood, reintroducing the bill today, did not make any state ment of changes by the caucus. Among these were the placing on the free list of shoe machinery, cream separa tors, buckwheat and rye. and the ex tension of the Income tax exemption to savings banks not conducted for profit. ' The entire committee will make Its formal report to the house tomorrow with the minority report from the re' publicans. President Wilson told callers today he believed the low rates of the tariff bill were Justified even though not Permitting of many further cuU for reciprocity agreements.

Whether the railroads will Beek to ontinue to batten on North Carolina, bile giving neighboring states rea- onable freight rates, will be determ- ned at the third conference.

The propositi;' submitted by the state calls for a, reduction of approxi mutely 33 per cent on interstate ship tnents into North Carolina. In other words, what the commi-sion has asked or is approximately the Same rate up dying on the main line of the South era railway between Lynchburg and Washington. It must be taken Into onsideratUm also that the density traffic is greater in North Carolina than In Virginia and that the earnings of the railroads are much birger. The fact of the business Is that In Virginia he railroads make only a reasonable profit on the freight hauled, whereas in North Carolina great profits on freight are made. An analysis of the earnings and ton nage of the Southern railway, Sea board Air Line, and Atlantic Coast Line in North Carolina on Interstate relght business for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1912, shows that th combined Income from this sou re wa $17,188,852. Of this total, the Southern earned JS, 876, 213, the Sea Hiard $3,897,500, and the Coast Lin $4,915,605. Tonnage and Freight Euinlng. A cut of 33 per cent In the earnings of these three roads would on its fae end color to tho declaration of th' railroad-; that it would revolutionize the traffic and impair the revenues o the carriers, but one-fourth of this business would not be affected be cause It eltlier originates irom me south or Da'scs entirely through th state. This would leave $12,891,63 in earnings affected and, as much o the freight is in commodities not re duced, the reduction would amount in fact to only 25 per cent of $12,000 OOO. or $3,222,409. Providing there were no Increase i the freight traffic this would seem t be a pretty fair sum for three road to lose a year. But the facts are that the rates prevailing In North Car ollna have not been chanbed sine 1889 and that the traffic and earning' of these three roads have Increase ilnce that time 150 per cent. In or der to do the Southern railway full jus tice, it may be said that lu lines hav- been doubled since 1889 and tluit th ncrease so far as It is concerned wa not a natural growth. The Southern increase, however, has been more than 100 per cent on Its lines. The tonnage of the Seaboard Air Une has Increased during the past veais lie per cent. The tonnage of the Atlantic Coast Line during th mime period nas increased luu per cent. The earnings of th Kealioard fc the past six months since lu last an nusl report-'-have Increased $170,500 over the earnings of the correspond Ing period a year be-fore, or S.G7 per cent for six months. The Increase for this year would, therefore, he over even per cent. The freight earnings of the Coast Une for the past six months hav heen $345,000 more than for the cor reriinndlng period a year ago, or ocrcentage of 11.42. For the year thli would make an increase of 11 per rent approximately. The Southern railway has fared even better.

Toklo, April 21. Tho chagrin, . dis- ppolnt'ment and wounded pride of Japan, whk-h last week were vented in militant talk by irresponsible people, ave become somewhat modified. The ntlre Japanese nation now awaits ith intense and evident anxiety the outcome of the deliberations in refer- nce to the California alien land hold ing bill proceeding, at Sacramento. Governmental and commercial forces of Japan are using their utmost xertlons in endeavoring to restrain the agitators here. They point out that the real influences in Japan rely onfidentiy on the highest thought and the highest Influences In the Unit ed States. They assert there is not a ngle responsible person in either ountry who even dreams of war. It Is becoming increasingly evident that the agitation In Japan is largely nspired by a political group seeking embarrass the Japanese govern ment and putting forward the Ameri can land question to rouse national feeling and hide their real purpose. Those newspapers which caused the war talk among the "hotheads" are now advocating a more dignified and conservative attitude and expressing the hope that the citizens of California will spare Japan indignity and the United Stat3 embarrassment. Buei Nakano, chairman of the Tokio chamber of commerce, has called a meeting of the Japanese society to unite for the purpose of offsetting the extremists. Washington, April 21. The situa tion arising over the pending alien land laws of California, construed by Japan as discrimnatory, was practical ly unchanged here today. Officials were awaiting developments In Cali fornia. President Wilson told some of his callers that his whole thought was that there should be no discrimination against the Japanese. Laws embody ing features of the so-called "senate bill" pending at Sacramento have been In force in various states and have not been objected to. Determined to Exclude Orientals. San Francisco, April 21. Unless the California legislature enaAs an anti alien bill, it will be asked to prepare and submit to the voters at the next election a constitutional amendment dealing with the question, according to announcement made here today by the Asiatic Exclusion league. If that plan fails, the league says it will invoke the initiative to bring the question before the public.

Mr, Dunbar has the child In his possession and while he is positive In his Identification, he today telegraphed Mrs. Dunbar to come here and sec the child. Mr. Dunbar stated that his identification was made by means of ertain scars and marks on the child s body. Walters, who travels about the country in a wagon repairing ciocks ind stoves, stated that a widow in North Carolina gave him the enild more than a year ago. lie was ques tioned closely by Mr. Dunbar about his movements since last August and it is claimed made several contradic tory statements. Walters was arrested here two weeks ago. but told what appeared to be a reasonable story about the child and was released. Mr. Dunbar was notified, however, und came here to make a personal investigation. TTc found the child had been left with a man nrmed Wallace In West Colum bia. Alier identifying the child, he and several deputies set out In search of Walters, whom they located near Morgantown, about 12 miles north or Columbia.

Rome, April 21. Pope Phis contin ued tocVty on the road to convales cence. A brief bulletin to this effect was issued bv Doctors Alarchiafava and Amiei at the Vatican this morn Ing, with the announcement that the pontiff's condition was so satisfactory that there would bo no further bulle tins published as to his condition. The pope this morning was in much better spirits and felt stronger. He still suffered somewhat from cough ing. As the day was sunny, the pon tiff was allowed to rise and sit in an arm-chair in front of the closed win dow. For the first time since his last relapse the pope was able to look Into the Plaza di Pietro. which was alive with people. When he saw that a large number of flags were flying, he asked the reason and was Informed that today was the anniversary of the foundation of Rome, 3663 years ago. "Cities grow with age while men de cline," remarked the pope. The physicians and attendants of the nope are taking the greatest pre cautions to prevent him from any ex ertion Just now, as any activity on his part is still regarded as dangerous. The pontiff, however, is eager to tx-gin work aaain nnd often Insists iron Monsignor Bressan and Mgr. Pescini his private secretaries, read him th most Important of the letters which accumulated during his illness. The betterment of his health was so marked today that Prof. Marchla fava permitted him a change of diet The patient's luncheon consisted oi rlee cooked in the Venetian way, i small piece of chicken breast and half a glass of old Bordeaux. Gazette-News Bureau, : i-' Wyatt Uulldlng, Washington, April 21. Evidence is accumulating that Presi dent Wilson meant exactly what he, said some time before his inaugura tion when he told the public, "only progressives need apply,"' referring to the Jobs and the influence at his disposal. The "turndown" of the John Walter Smith faction in favor of the progres sive democracy of Maryland; the wlll- g ear which he is lending to the vig- rous anti-Tammany campaign in New ork, which is being carried right into e heart of Tannamy power; the recognition of the radical wing of the party In Kentucky, as shown In tho ppointment of Henry Clay Brecken- ridge as assistant secretary of war, 11 are significant Indications of a definite policy on the partA'f the pres ent. The appointment of H. McL. Green for postmaster of Wilmington Is not considered the real test of progressive strength In North Carolina. It is true that had not President Wilson and one his cabinet members taken a hand the fight, Green would not have een named. The real te-t will come, probably this week, when President, Wilson and Secretary McAdoo will be asked by enators Simmons and Overman to name Colonel A D. Watts as collector for the western district of North Car- lina. Colonel Watts is considered by . those opposing his nomination a diH- nct reactionary. Those who have protested against the appointment ot he Iredell man have made their tight gainst him upon the ground that he s not a progressive and has opposed glslation known to be favored by President Wilson. Watts' Indorsement by North Caro- na democrats is considered the trongesi ever brought to Washing ton. The batch of papers which will be taken to the White House and reasury department cannot be carried either or both the North Carolina senators, it will be necessary to hire cab to transport the papers to the xecutlve offices. If president Wilson refuses to recognize Col. Watts, there an be no doubt as to the attitude of he administration. The result is wailed with interest. Secretary of the Navy Daniels, as as already Iwen stated in these dis patches, Is opposing Watts with all Is might. Carey Dowd of Charlotte i favored by Mr. Daniels as the man o beat Watts, but It is thought If Mr. Daniels defeats the Iredell man he will have to bring forward a man more pronounced In his progressive lews than has been evidenced by the harlotte publisher. The President desires party harmony much as any other democrat, but be is not prepared to compromise the nteresty of that element of the party which is really heart and soul with him, as distinguished from that which merely lukewarm and conventional o gain it. .
