TARIFF DEBATES TO GROW LIVELY Free Sugar Bill Will Draw Fire from Friends of Producers. HOUSE TO PASS MEASURES. Minority Leader in Senate for Bill. Progressive Republicans Opposed to Free Sugar Sixty Million Cut in Revenue Too Great. Washington, March 4. The liveliest of the tariff revision fights in the pres ent session of congress will break this week, when the Democratic free sugar bill and the income tax or excise bill, which goes with it to make up the $60,000,000 a year that would be lost in sugar duties, probably will go through the house and to defeat In the senate. The passage of the bills In the house eeems to be assured by the Democratic majority which ratified them In cau cus. In the senate the progressive Republicans will oppose putting sugar on the free list, and many Democrats view with alarm the loss of so much revenue, with only a measure, beset with the possibility of a trial of Ha constitutionality as the only offset. Senator Martin, the Democratic leader In the senate, and a few others have Indorsed the house bills without qualification. Many other Democrats, however, decline to discuss them. Senator Bristow, speaking as one progressive, declared that none of his colleagues favored free sugar, but all did favor an income tax. He Bald It would be unfair to American sugar producers, who hart grown under stim ulus of the duty, to remove all their protection by a single legislative act. The progressive Republicans, who hold the balance of power on party questions In the senate, have evinced no disposition to seek common ground with the Democrats to push tariff re- vision legislation, although there have been some personal consultations. The entry of the free sugar bill to the senate will make three tariff re vision measlires pending there, the steel and chemical bills are the oth ers. All of these will be adversely reported by the senate finance com' mittee. The regular Republicans will con cede the possibility of passage of only two tariff revision measures a wool bill and a cotton bill. Neither of these measures hag yet come from the house ways nnd means committee and the Republican concession la based on the fact that the tariff board al ready has reported on wool and will soon report on the cotton schedule. Treaties Come Up Tomorrow. The pending arbitration treaties with England and France will come ud tomorrow. Senators who have been supporting their ratification un amended say they will pass the senate by the necessary two-thirds vote. Those opposed to the treaties claim the constitutional treaty-making pow ers of the senate will be invaded. is said to be unlikely that the senate will amend the treaties, but probably will pass Senator ledge's resolution of ratification, which provides no spe clal agreements to arbitrate questions under the treaties shall he mad without the concurrence of the senate Other amendments are pending an long debate is In prospect. The proposed investigation of th money trust, the Florida Everglades the Lawrence strike, the proposed a bo lition of the commerce court and sev eral other questions are taking up the time of the house.

Pierpont Morgan coal combine" by attorneys representing tho coal op erators in the Pittsburgh district. The question arose in the case of John W. Dailenu and others against the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroad and other carriers of coal from the Pittsburgh dlutrlct to great lake porU. It was argued by Wade II. Ellia, rep resenting the Pittsburgh Coal com pany, that the present rate of 88 cents a ton from the Pittsburgh district to lake ports was excessive. He charged that the railroads controlled by the Morgan Interests had entered Into a conspiracy to discriminate against the coal operators In the Pittsburgh dis trict in favor of the operators and railroads In the West Virginia nnd Kentucky fields on the same class of traffic.

President Tall ha taken the Initiative in the movement to bring business men of the country into touch with the gov ernment lev jidvice and counsel in the administration of laws, the enactment nf new statutes and the development of, comineice. Virtually, the president proposes a national board of trade, broadly repre sentative of the commercial and Indus trial organizations and of such char acter as the government may properly recognize bv a charter from congress. As one of the first steps In the plan, Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor, by direction of the president, has called a convention Ot delegates from commercial organ! zations in all parts of the country to meet In Washington on April 15 for discussion and to plan the organiza tion. Invitations already have been sent to 1,000 local chambers of com nierce, boards of trade and other com niercial bodies. Responses to the an nouncemnt of the tentative plan have been such that President Taft Is con vinced the time Is ripe for putting the proposal to the test of practical ex perinient. The president first recommended such a plan In a message to congress last December, In which he suggested that officials of the department of commerce and labor and members of appropriate congressional committees might be made members ex officio of such an association. In a statement made public President Taft outlines the purposes of such an organization Opportunity to Consult. It would give to the government the opportunity to consult with the business world on all propositions of trade supremacy, It would afford co operation in tho expansion of com niereo nt home and abroad and would provide a means by which government officers charged with the enforcement of laws could become acquainted with the complexities which surround the! i;ilr.i!nistiEtir.n in the business world Furtlier than that conrress In fram ?ni' nev; tt"tutcs r.ffectins: trade and f c-.rir.crcc would have flr&t hand' ad vices of an oITl.-Ial nature.

It la Said to Ba Changing and In Tun May Bacom Toeless. A London physician. Dr. R. Clement Lucas, says that if man keeps on wear ing shoes and living under the present conditions he may eventually develop Into a one toed animal, or. more prop erly speaking, a toeless one. A number of years ago Dr. Lncaa pointed out that the gradual disappear ance of the little toe was getting nheatf of the textbook, for while it had al ready lost one of Its extensor tendons in quite an appreciable percentage of cases, one of its ilexor tendons waa absent also. On the other hand, tha grent toe had undergone extraordi nary developments because the inner side of the foot was the first to catch, the center of gravity In transferring the weight of the body from one foot to the other Iu walking. The hore, which was oneff a 0t toed animal, now moves about solely on the nail of Its big toe or consolidat ed toes. There is no doubt that man's internal organism hna been much mod ified since he left off living with na ture and began living on it. Intestines have changed noticeably. Tho foot it self has also changed. It is more com pactly built now, for the toes of th savage races are widely separated and stuck out on different angles, the bif toe especially being thrown far out and resembling the great toes of a. baboon.

By side vision Is meant literally ability to see in several directions at once and to know what la going on in other di rections besides that upon which the gaze may be fixed at the moment Just try tho next time you are read ing your paper in the train, for In stance, and you will understand clear ly what is meant You can with little effort and whll still rending follow the movements ot those sitting opposite you and even thoso at your side. With a little practice the range of your side vision can be extended be hind you in each direction to an angU of forty-five degrees, and you can se clearly every movement that takes plnce on both sides simultaneously. Now, just think what this, means. The man in possession of a good side vision is not an easy one to take by surprise la business be finds it t valuable asset, especially when talking with more than ono person at a time. He can guard agalnvt dangers from, unexpected sources, nnd when crossing n roadway be can clearly see the traf fic coming from either direction while, still looking straight ahead.
