WASHINGTON, Aug 13.-By a narrow
margain of five votes the house today
passed the wool tariff revision bill over
President's Tafts veto. The vote, 174 to
SO, was made possible only b; the defec
tion of twenty-one republicans who
voted with the democrats.
The announcement of democratic su
cess created a wild scene in the house
and amid great confusion the republican
leaders protested that Speaker Clark
must count as voting ten members who
answered ''present'' to their names, u
ruling which would have defeated the
democratic program by overcoming the
five-vote margin and making Impossible
the recording of the necesary two-thirds
vote of the house. This the speaker de
clined to do.
Less than an hour after the wool bill
had been repassed in the house the con
ferees on the sugar tariff bill met and
disagreed. They determined to report to
the house and senate that it had been
found impossible to reach a compromise
between the Underwood and Lodge-Bris-tcw
bills.
This action is expected to mtrk the end
of sugar tariff consideration In the pres
ent session, and the excise tax bill, whic?t
was framed to make up revenues that
would have been lost by the reduction
of the sugar tariff, also probably will
remain in conference when congress ad
journs. "While democratic and progressive lead
ers of the senate do not believe the wool
bill can be passed In that body over the
president's veto, they will continue the
demand for action on th,.otton tariff
measure.

Conduct of Hays in
. Everglades Land
Cases Criticized
'WASHINGTON. Aug. U'.-Assistant Sec
retary Hays of the Department of Agri
culture comes in for adverse criticism In
the report of the Moss committee of the
house, which investigated tho Florida
Everglades land charges and other affairs
in the department. His operations in
North Carolina with J. O. Wright, a for
mer employe, are deprecated and the re
port hints that impeachment proceedings
were narrowly escaped.
Secretary Wilson Is not condemned for
the Everglades affair, in which it was
charged that land agents had used their
influenct at the department to prevent
the presentation of official reports un
favorable to the project. Ixiose man
agement is charged against the depart
ment, however. In that connection. The
handling of business In the office of ex
periment stations also Is condemned.
Elliott and Morehouse, two employes of
the department, who were discharged on
technical grounds following the publica
tion of the Everglades charges and who
have since been indicted, are left to the
courts.
Representative Sloan is preparing a sup
plemental repoit in which he expects to
defend the administration of the depart
ment Both reports "will be submitted to
the house this week.

Convention Meets
in Parlor of Hotel
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. IS. -Not more than 100
Relegates to the populist national con
vention are expected by National Chair
man James H. Ferriss c' Joliet, III.,
when the session is convened at 10 o'clock
this morning at the St. James lou-l. Four
years ago when the convention met here
a theater was necessary to accommodate
the delegates. This year th parlor of a
small hotel will be ample s,icice.
Although the populists have always ad
vocated woman suffrage, an effort will
be made this year for the first time to in
corporate an endorsement of woman suf
frage in the platform. Little opps-itiun
is expected.
As it Is improbable that a national
ticket will be named; chief interest will
be in the adoption of a platform. That
congress shall Issue all moi:-y ami regu
late the value and volume is h plank
which Feriss will try to put through.
Although Nebraska populists will try
to obtain an indorsement of YV.udtow
Wilton, the majority of dele?nt de
clare that neithes Rocsevelt nor Wilson
will be indorsed.
Supply Now Smaller Than Supply
. ThrnPurchaslna; Power of
Dollar n Greater Than
nt that Time.
Every beef price record in the annals
of stock yards history was broken yes
terday on the South Omaha market
with the sale of a shipment of choice fed
cattle at $10.35 per hundred. E. T Gra
ham of Creston received this price for
eighteen head of well fi.iisiiol branded
western steers that averaged l,t57 pounds.
Besides breaking all uords on tho
South Omaha market, the transaction lie
comes even more remarkable when com
parisons are made with beef values dur-
In war times. Along In the 'Ms, when
the political situation in this country had
reached a crisis, live stock became valua
ble enough to be sold by troy weight, but
no quotable trade existed. Veterans tell
of cattle selling around $12 and $13 rer
hundred, w;t! hogs at relatively lofty
figures, but, until recently, cattle have
remained comfortably below the $10 mark.
Supply is Smaller.
The $10.35 sale means that the supply of
beef cattle Is smaller, when matched with
the demand, than It has been since the
civil war. At that period, the purchasing
power of a dollar was considerably less
than at present, so that the popular wall
against the high cost of living seems to
be fully justified. The new Omaha rec
ord exceeds the last one made only a
short time ago by 35 cents, and ap
proaches withn 5 cents of the American
record hung up at Chicago this week.
Incidentally, Mr. Graham has probably
broken more records In his stock feeding
experience than any other single man n
the United States. The. cattle were pur
chased by Swift and Company and sold
by Clay, Robinsofo & Co.
Comparison Are Interesting.
In connection with the current lofty
price? fr llve stock, supply comparisons
are interesting. Receipts of cattle at
Kansas City, St. Loula, St. Josapl),
Omaha, -Chicago and - Sioux City from
January 1 to date are approximately
toO.000 short of the corresponding period
of 1911. The season of most liberal mar
keting, when the ranges and pastures of
the west turn off their grass beef, is
now at Tiand, but the movement to :uh
markets up to date has not attained
appreciable proportions in comparison
with other seasons.
All reports from the northwest indicato
an abundance of feed throughout the
grazing sections and advance Informa
tion is indicative of a smaller movement
to market than In recent years. Drouth
and short feed forced the marketing from
the ranges for the last two seasons. Thli
year conditions are reversed, llano li
and range men having ample forage, will
carry everything but their most mature
beef stock over for greater growth and
weight.

Rockhill Offered
Post of Adviser to
Chinese Republic
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. -Unofficially
It is known here that overtures have been
going on between President Yaun Shi
Kal and Mr. Rockhill, the American am
bassador to Turkey, looking to the ..p
pointment of the latter as adviser to the
new Chinese republic. These have not
yet progressed far enough to warrant
Mr. Rockhill's resignation, but :t is
know he is giving the offer serious con
sideration. Mr. Rockhill Is regarded as being thor
oughly conversant with Chinese 1'ovnn
mental methods. In addition to a seiv-
Ice of three years as minister In Peking (
following the boxer uprising, Mr. Rock
hill was secretary to the American lega
tion at Peking. About a decade before
this he made extensive explorations of
the interior of country, penetrating Thibet !
as a pioneer, which adventure formed the
basis of what is regarded as a text book
on that then little known country.
If Mr. Rockhill does not accept the
Chinese offer, it is expected that soma
European statesman will be appointed.

Convention Speed Records Broken in
Performing Day'i Work.

Mayor-' Daalman Wrlooraea t'ouven
, Hon Members Advertising Ad
vised In Paper by Largest
Manufacturer.
The National Association of Stationers
and Manufacturers, assembled in eighth
annual convention at the Rome hotel,
has demonstrated that Its members are
the most expeditious convention holders
In the world. The first business sessions
of the organisation begari yesterday
morning and were continued yesterday
afternoon with some of the fastest and
cleanest work Omaha has seen In the
way of convention business meetings.
President M?!llngton Lockwood called
the convention to order at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning and without any further
ado tho invocation was pronounced.
Mayor Dahlman gave his address . of
welcome and everybody's report was In,
from that of the president to that of the
auditor, In time which would seem to
have been beaten only by the man who
said "Jack Robinson."
Something unheard of in convention
fashions was the total absence of those
who object to anything and everything
and the delegates who desire all matters
to be referred to committees for con
siderable incubation and final verbose re
ports. The National Stationers and Manufac
turers have shown they can do things
and do them well and in a hurry.
Objections Are Curiosities.
. Remarkable as it may seem, tliero was
not an objection to the president's ap
pointments to the nominating committee.
President Lockwood read off these
names: Harry W. Rogers of New York
City, chairman; W. E. Milllgan of San
Antonio, Tex., W. E. Smith and C. A.
Stevens of Chicago, Charles E. Moyer of
Omaha, H. J. Williams of Buffalo,
George A. Savoy of Holyoke, Mass.
Every man seemed lo have been raised
Just to be a member of that committee
If the pleasure of the invention may
count for anyting.
And then there was the report of the
executive committee. It did not have
much to repoit other than that wo meet
ings had been held and they had been
principally occupied in the acceptance of
new members and the ousting of those
wis) had neglected to pay dues. Five of
these latter, the report read, had been
reinstated.
Ralph S. Bauer, chairman 6f the pro
gram committee, was called upon to read
the address of Charles H. Marshall of
Philadelphia, the largest manufacturer of
stationery supplies in the United States.
Marshall was scheduled to be in Omaha
to deliver the address entitled, "Adver
tising a Retail Business." Word came
that he was unable to be here and Ms
paper was turned over to ho read.
This largo stationery advertiser ad
vised: "Use of newspapers for a quick
introduction. Do not look upon money
spent In advertising as a gamble. The
honest exploitation of goods in good ad
vertising mediums means the greatest
success In the business world."
Many other such thoughts expressed
eplgramatically were included In the
pMper, with which the convention was so
pleased that a motion was unanimously
adopted that it be placed In the minutes
of tho assembly.
The stationers and manufacturers were
entertained last night by a specially
prepared vaudeville entertainment at the
Rome summer garden. Both men and
women attended.
There will be a meeting this morning of
