The vote was 4L' to 16. Five Republican Senators. Cummings. Kenyon. LaFolle'te, Norris and C'app voted for the bill. Eliminating the usual formalities in order to Insure early adjournment ot" Congress, the Senate rushed the measure. the last on the Administration legislative program, immediately to conference. The Senate conferees appointed were Senators Simmons. Williams. Hoke Smith. Hughes, Penrose, Snioot and McCumber. Fights Tariff Commission. The Senate was in session until after midnight. It practically hail completed the bill earlier but toward midnight Senator Underwood moved to strike out the section which would create a tariff commission and began a last fight against this provisiou which already had been agrcd to. By a vote of 55 to 5 the Senate rejected Senator Underwood's motion, thus retaining the tariff commission section of the bill. Senators who voted to eliminate it were Bankhead. Hardwick. Shields, Underwood ana Vardaman. A motion by Senator Penrose to send the bill back to the Finance Committee with instructions that it report a measure to raise revenues by a protective tariff and with special provisions for industrial defense was rejected by a vote of S3 to 21. Sen ator L&Follette was the only Republican to vote no. To increase Government revenue the bill provides for doubling the normal tax and increasing the surtaxes on incomes; a>. inheritance tax; a net profit tax on manufacturers of munitions of war. a license tax on stock of corporations capitalized at more than $09,000; excise tax on beer, wines and liquors and miscellaneous stamp taxes.

Webb's Bill at Issue. Drastic amendments to the bill striking at the Allied blacklisting of American merchants, discrimination against American commerce, interference with American mails and embargoes on American trade were incorporated in the bill to arm the President with retaliatory weapons. These amendments have created consternation among diplomatic representatives of the Allied Powers In Washington who assert that if finally enacted as now seems certain, they would constitute a non-intercouse act. Passage of the bill and adjournment of Congress were threatened for a time by an attempt to attach *o the measure the Webb bill desired by the President, permitting American firms to establish collective selling agencies abroad. When Senator Lewis of Illinois, uuiunicu wit* diii as an amendment he wan promptly assured by Senator LaFollette that it would provikc pro longed discussion, if pressed. Senator Lewis thereupon withdrew the amendment, announcing that it would be pressed as a separate measure, having already passed the house earlv !n the December session. Late at night vain effort was made by Senator Hunting of Wisconsin to amend the bill by providing for pub Hcltv, in the discretion of the Presl dent of the Income tax returns of In dlvidua1* Retaliation Against Britain. Amendments designed to provide means of retaliation against Great Britain for embargoes on American goods, the trade blacklist and inter ference with the malts, were agreed to without roll calls and were unop posed In debate. The bill creates a tariff comrnts alon, recommended by President WH eon to consist of six members, not more than three of whom shall be ol one political party, the first member* to be appointed for terms of 2. 4. 8 10 and 12 years, respectively, to b? designated by the President. ~ PRESIDENT HONORS : LINCOLN'S MEMORY' WILSON ACCEPTS FQR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LOG CABIN AT HODGENVILLE, KY.
