Washington, July 30.?The action of the senate in passing a bill for reduction of the wool duties by a sudden combination of Democrats and insurgents plus two regulars points to further action by the upper house along the same line. As a matter of fact, it is looked upon now as almost a certainty there will be further tariff revision, the time of adjournment is made indefinitely, and it is difficult to predict with any certainty where the overhauling of schedules will stop. To-morrow the senate will take up the free list bill. The indications are that this bill will be passed. It will probably be stripped of free meats and free flour. The reason for this is that senators from agricultural Stated are opposed, they say, to -opening the doors to these products and thus injuring the farmers of this country.'' They say the farmers have already incurred too much in reciprocity and that if they have to compete with free meats from the Argentine and Carribbean and Australian regions, with free flour from the Argentine and elsewhere, they will be further injured. Hence meats and flour are likely to go out of the bill, and it is probable it will then be passed. It will not be necessary now to use the free list bill as the vehicle to i carry other measures. The cotton bill ' - - 11 - J 1 ? At. ? t?_A l.*ll win come later tnan ine iree list Din, and, if need be, it can be used for the purpose of hitching on amendments to the steel, sugar and other schedules. - Think Cotton Bill Will Pass. Just as the wool bill has been passed by the senate, some of the insurgents and Democratic leaders now figure they can put through several more important bills cutting duties. They think a cotton bill can undoubtedly be passed. Nobody doubts that there is a lot of big politics in the situation. In the first place, there is much resentment among some of the senate Republicans over reciprocity. They want to strike at some one. In the copnnrl nlaPA manv nf the Tlcimnnraffl feel it would be good politics for them if the president should veto a wool bill, a free list bill, and perhaps other tariff deduction bills. La Follette's Friends Jubilant. Insurgent senators have no love for Taft, and they will be glad to see the president wrestle with the question of signing or vetoing bills reducing duties. Senator La Follette's friends are jubilant over the situation. They point to him as the general who has brought it about. In the house a tremendous impetus has been given to the sentiment for general tariff revision by the action of the seante. While the belief is widespread that President Taft means to veto any tariff bills put up to him, it is by no ?aeans unanimous. Plenty of senators and representatives can be found who say they do not look for a veto. Fighting Hookworm Disease. Washingotn, July 29.?Hookworm dispensaries in several counties in Georgia during the past month have met with unusual success, and a request has been made of the Rockefeller hookworm commission that the dispensaries he allowed to remain for longer periods. Many applications are being received for the establishment of additional dispensaries. During last week 1,285 cases of hookworm were treated in the four counties in North Carolina having dispensaries, and it is said the prospects for this week are that the number of treatments will reach 2,000. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi ana all have hookworm dispensaries. / \ .. y -; .. , ' ..'X, "' ALLEGED ABSCONDER LOCATED. Illinois Sheriff Going to California for Long-Missing Banker. Pearl, 111., July 29.?Sheriff Allen, of Pittsfield, Pike county, left here to-night for Springfield, to obtain requisition papers from Gov. Deneen on the governor of California. From Springfield he will go to San Francisco and bring back Cary E. Manker, former president of the Bank of Pearl, who confessed to the police of San Francisco to being short in his accounts $34,000'. Manker is believed by residents to have obtained more than $50,000 in the sale of stock in the Navimobile Company and the Hydrocurve Company, which he promoted. Manker came here from Red Oak, Iowa, and started a bank, which was closed when he left one night in November, 1908. He had previously moved his family out of town. The bank was thrown into bankruptcy. A police circular, offering a reward of $300 for the arrest of Manker, was issued. Visited Family in Spring. Eagle, Neb., July 29.?Mrs. Manker, wife of the man under arrest at San Francisco, is living *.t this place with her three daughters. Mrs. Manker heard yesterday of her husband's whereabouts. He was here in the spring and visited his family, wTho have been residents of Eagle since May, 1910. T. R. Adams, step-father of Mrs. Manker, says the fugitive was the victim of business associates who played him false. COTTON CROP NEARLY MADE. % Favorable Conditions Reported from All Sections of the Belt. Memphis, July 30.?The Commercial-Appeal to-morrow will* say: "Another week favorable to the cotton plant has put the crop seven days further towards aaaturity. It is two or three weeks earlier than last year and the prospects arg better in every State than at the same time last season. "Complaints are local in character, and are of excessive rainfall, producing rank growth, and damage by boll worms. Boll weevils have done little damage, although their presence has been discovered in several sections. Some rain is needed along The Atlantic seaboard and moisture would be beneficial in Western Texas. Elsewhere the moisture supply i? ft kiiti /I n^f id auuuuaut. x "The plant is heavily fruited and has matured an unusual number of bolls for the season. The crop is generally laid by and the fields are, as a whole, clean, and the cotton has attained a large size that will prevent great growth of weeds and grass hereafter. "Many of the reports received are brilliant, and over fully two-thirds of the cotton crop a record yield is indicated if present favorable conditions are niamiaiiieu. "Cotton is opening rapidly in Southern Texas and a heavy movement is forecasted. Elsewhere, although the crop is rather early, abundance of moisture has retarded the opening of bolls." Near Beer Raid Made. Gaffney, July 29.?The expected has happened and to-day Sheriff Thomas, armed with a search warrant, seized all the near beer at the four saloons on the edge of the city outside of the incorporate limits. At W. H. Dempsey & Co.'s 452 bottles were seized and 444 empties; at Ramsey & Childers' store 10 bottles were obtained and 75 empties; at Harper & Buice's 63 bottles and two barrels of empties; at Elmore & Sutton's 190 bottles were seized and three barrels of empties. All the beer has been hauled to the jail and deposited. The sheriff stated yesterday that it would be held there. No deflate action has been taken by any of the parties yet, and no arrests were made. Some action is being momentarily expected. It is understood that the sheriff acted under orders from Gov. Blease. It is stated here to-night that warrants are out for all of those who have been conducting the saloons, and it is expected that they will all be arrested to-morrow. QUARTER OF MILLION NEEDED. Additional Appropriation Necessary to Continue Removal of Maine. Washington, July 29.?Chairman ?r?# Trit^prornlH of thp honsp armrnnria tions committee, declared to-day that he did not know -what action, if any, would be taken on the request of the war department for an additional $250,000 for removing the old Maine from Havanna harbor. He said it was very late in the season to ask for the appropriation. The army engineers in their report said: "Delays caused by waits for appropriations greatly increase the cost of the work." --- - V/.. .

Answer Filed in Court in Dispute Over Control. * Memphis, July 29.?The answer to the original bill, filed by thirteen bishops and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the Vanderbilt University dispute, has just been filed in the Chancery Court at Nashville, it was learned to-night. The university muddle hinges on the question as to whether re-elections on the board of trust of the university are legally made by the general conference of the church, or are legal when made by the board of trust itself. About twenty members of the board, in an answer previously filed, held that body to be self-supporting. The answer just filed is by the remaining members of the board, who take the opposite view.
