CONFEREES MEET Danger ol Tariff BUI Failing In Senate. RANGE FACTION UP IN ARMS, Western Senators Renew Insurrection Against Free Hides, Declaring That Leather Compromise Contains a Joker and Want Corrections Made, President Taft Indorses Language of Leather Schedule. Washington, Aug. 3. Tnrlft legisla tion has been dolaycd "again by tho hldo and loather question, and as a result tho conferees woro cnllcd to gether onco moro. WoHtorn aonntorB complain that tho leather schedule, as arranged by tho conferees with tho approval of tho president, Is unfair to tho states interested Jin protected hldoB. It was agreed that Bomo ac tion must bo taken to concllluto them if tho conference roport Is to bo adopted. As UBiial Senator Aldrich and his associates moved about to boo if thero had been any chango of Houtlmont, Tho difficulty appeared to bo a lack of understanding botweon tho con ferees, tho president and Uio western senators concerning tho condition un der which tho latter consented to hjdes being placed on tho frco list Tho westerners claimed that they had been led to bollovo that all boots and shoes of lcathor were to bo dutiable at 10 per cont and that all harness wae to bo dutlablo at 20 per cont. When tho conforonco roport wnB Is sued It nppcarod that tho reductions applied only to articles manufactured In chlof part of tho class of hides which woro to bo mndo froo of duty. Tho reductions would not apply to shoes of calf skin or to harness which was of calf skin. Conferees Hold Session. Senator Aldrich was among thoso who cnllcd at tho Whito House Whan ho returned to tho capltol ho Issued a cnll for a Bcssion of tho conferees, in cluding tho houso Republican mem bers. Tho western sonators wero ushored Into tho conforonco chamber Bjngly, or In pairs. Audlonces wero given to Senators Boyburn, Warren, Cnrtor, Drown, Borah and Bourno. Senator Aldrich and Ilopresontntlvo Payno stated unomcjnlly thnt tho lan guage employed in adjusting tho hide controversy was not a "Joker." An effort was mado to roach an under standing with tho men fiom tho cattlo raising states. They said that tho word had gone out ovor tho west that froe hides had been clen for chcapor shoos and hnrness and that their constituents would not bo satis fied with any other sottlomont. Son ators Brown and Borah both had let tors from tho president boarlng upon tho alleged "Jokor." Tho senntors read those letters to tho conferees. Tho lcttor to Senator Boran wns In rosponso to ono ho had written, Tho president nssorted Jn this letter thnt tho leather and hldo schcdulo as adopted by tho conferees was Just aa ho had Indorsed It. Iio said that his understanding wns thnt tho reduction on leather goods should bo mndo on thoso manufactures horotoforo dutia ble in hides. Continuing, tho president argued thnt farmers woar shoos mndo of tho kind of hides that would pay tho low duty and thnt practically nil hnrness is mndo from dutlablo leather and not from free lenthor. Contend President Is In Error. Tho contention or tno "rango" sen ntors is that the president Is in or Tor, After tho westerners had depart ed tho conferees discussed wns of meeting tho situation. Representative McCall (Mass.) opposed applying tho low rates on boots nnd shoes to prod ucts other thnn those which would bo affected by tho abolition of tho duty on hldos. Others arguod that tho westerners had been embarrassed by tho misunderstanding to such an ox tent thnt thoy could not bo oxpocted to glvo their support to tho report on terms other than thoso generally un derstood nt tho tlmo Jt wns agreed to. It wns realized that those senators, nugmonted' by "progressive Republic ans" opposed to tho bill, could defent tho roport If thoy wero so Inclined. It was conceded thnt In ordor to se cure tho passage of tho roport by a safo mnjorlty tho low rates on boots nnd shoes and hamosB would have to be applied to calf skin products ns well ns to leather from a class of hides that aro now dutiable, but which are mado free by tho roport. No program had been reached posi tively as to how this result shall bo accomplished. Tho plan favored Ja to mako an agreomont with tno western sonators that this will bo done, after tho pas.sag of the report, by tho adop tion of a concurrent resolution Instruct ing the onrolling dorks of tho two houses to mako alterations in tho par agraph relating to hides. Errors havo boen discovered In tho maximum and minimum provi&lon and such a resolution must bo adopted to mako tho corrections. It Is proposed to make tho" resolution cover tho para graph relating to hidos as woll as to the administrative matter. House Passes the Bill."

This latter es timate, however, Is labelled "perhaps exaggerated." CHINESE SLAYER A DRINKER Arraigned Before Coronor and Com mitted to Jail. Now York, Aug. 2.
