(By AmocUted Press.)
WASHINGTON. May 13. Senate
summary: After a day devoted to
discussing the duty on Iron ore, the
senate, Just before adjournment adopt
ed by a vote of SI to 25 the recom
mendation of the committee on fi
nance for a duty of twenty-five cents
per ton on Iron ore. The house had
placed that article on the free list
while the present levies a duty on it
of forty cents per ton. In taking this
vote party lines were annihilated, as
seventeen democrats voted "aye" with
the republicans and twelve republi
cans Voted "no" with the democrats.
During; the day. Senator Hallcy, In
announcing that ho proposed to vot-
for the duty on Iron ore ns a revenue
measure, declared that such action did
not affect the prosperity of the United
States Steel corporation and added
that even If H did there was a better
way to deal with that organization
which was an enforcement of the anti-trust
law against It. He declared
that he expected to see this law en
forced and he expressed confidence
that eventually the officers of the
Steel Corporation would either be In
the penitentiary or fugitives from Jus
tice. For the first time there was a
suggestion looking to the fixing of a
day for a vote, but It came to naught
because of objection from Senator
Beverldge.
Don't Believe Schwab.
Mr. Burrows In the debate of the
tariff sill In the senate today made a
speech on (yon ore as a source, of revenue-
for the government. The present
duty of 40 cent a ton, which the
committee prpposed, to reduce to 25
cents, 'yields, 1e anld. a revenue of
tlJS.OOO, which would be lost by
pterins; Iron ore on the froo list as
proposed by the house.

from Charles Schwab, sajd that wit

(Hy Associated Press.)
WASIINK5TON. May 1 3 .Discus
sion of the Philippine tariff hill was
begun in the house today.
Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee explained the neces
sity for the bill, saying (hat the most
important reason for the legislation
grew out of the fact that the insulux
government under the general tariff
hill would he deprived of about
J 1.000. 00 In revenue because of the
free trade relations proposed to be
established Iwtwc.-n th- Cnlted Slates
tnd the PhPllippmcs. Therefore. II
was necessary to provide for certain
increases to supply this deficiency.
1I plying to a oueslioti by Mr. Rob
inson of Ark.insas, Mr Payne declared
he could not even prophesy the day
when the Filipinos would be given
self government. He declared th-it
there were some communities In ihc
Cnlted States who were not sufficient
ly enlightened to govern themselves.
Mr. Payne declared that inasmuch
as the I'nited Stales had com- Into
possesion of the Philippines they
should properly h gislatc for them.
"We are lifling these people up." iic
said, "and I ho to see the day ivh' n
they will re ngnixc the great le nelUs
coming to them because in the Al
mighty providence of Cod they have
come over t. the cane ami custody
of the American people."
Mr. Robinson criticised what he
termed the Infinite policy of the gov
ernment toward the Filipinos and ex
pressed the view- that the Filipinos
were fully capable of self-government.
"Is the negro capable of slf gov
ernment:"' Mr. Payne Inquired.
This rjnestlon nettled Mr, Robinson
who asserted that th" negTo was ca
pable of self government, but that he
did not bcllew the negro was capa

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 13. That the
vigorous campaign agaiust tubercu
losis has failed to check the great)
white plaguo was the startling charge
made today by Nathan Straus, the
New York philanthropist, at the firth
annual meeting of (he national asso
ciation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis here today.
Mr, Straus backed up his assertion
hy official statistics from the
New York health department show,
ing an Increase of thirty-three per
cent, in two years in cases of tuber
culosis in the city, which Dr. Koch
descilbed as leading the whole world
In the fight against the disease.
The reason for this failure to make
headway, Mr. Straus di-clared. was
the neglect of the mischief wrought
by the tuberculosis dairy cow. Sev
eral hundred delegates prominent Jn
the antl-tuboreulosis campaign from
all parts of the country were In at
tendance. In his address Chairman Folkes,
called attention to the progress of the
tight against tuberculosis during the
year and declared that one of thiti
pressing needs now was for adequate
hospital provision for consumptives 'n
tbe Intermediate and advanced stages
. Work HI MMIII1.
The report of the executive secre
tary showed a new membership of six
hundred, making a total of 2,107. One
lit the most striking advances made
during the year was that thirty-four
out of forty Btate legislatures have
considered tuberculosis legislation.
Reviewing tbe work ac- ompllshcd In
the South, It was shown that the
fight was carried on In Tennessee,
Aliihamn, Florida at nil Oeorgla, and
during tin tnlng year li Is planned

The speaker said it had been es

clared that the agitation for reme
