SOON TO WRITE TARIFF BILLS Hearings by Committee Came to an End This Week Philippine and Cur rency Problems on Program Fight on Appointments Ripe. Washington, Jan. 27 Although the scope ot the legislation to be taken up t the approaching extra session of congress has not yet been outlined, congressional committees rapidly are. Htsnlng their preliminary work to a point where recommendations can be made to President elect Wilson and (ilans laid before aim for the early work of his administration. Work on twlff bills sron will be started, the hearings reaching an end this week. The money trust end of the house banking and currency commltteo al ready Is working on, a report, while the currency branch of the same com mittee will push Its investigation this week Into other branches of the cur rency question in the effort to secure comprehensive suggestions for cur rency reform. Two Pressing Questions. Senate and house leaders do not know what legislation, If any, in addi tion to the work of tariff revision will be taken up at the extra session. Sev eral of those who have talked with Governor Wilcon express the confident belief that the currency nuestion and the question of liberating the Philip pines will he Included In the new president's scheme of action for his first congressional session. It Is the general opinion In Demo cratic circles In Washington that Pres ident Wilson will at least not "fore close" congress against acting on ev erything but the tariff In the special stbsion. An effort Is under way by some democratic senators to postpone ac Hon on currency reform until the next regular session and it Is expected that a movement will be promoted to se cure an extension of the present Aid rieh-Vrecland emergency currency law for at least a year, bo that an emergency i measure still will be at nana In case of Industrial or financial disturbances. The full extent of the fight between tho Republican and Democratic fac tions in the senate over President Taft's appointments is expected to develop this week. Tariff Hearings Near. The tariff hearings covering the fourteen schedules of the present law Plonjr with the free lint and miscella neous articles ar.u genernl adminis trative provisions will come to a close with the end of this week. The wool schedule, perhaps the most formidable of all. from the tariff makers' stand point, was taken up today with pros pects for a lively session and plenty of arguments from wool growers, manufacturers. Importers and cloth leri. The National Association of Grow ers ami Manufacturers is expected to appear in force to fight for retention tion of the present tariff. The importance of the schedule Is shown by the average of 60 per cent ad valorem as a barrier for protection of the big woolen Industry of this country.

Will Fight Increased Fees. A merry little fight Is In sight in the house over llardln'8 bill to in crease the mileage fees of sheriffs Irom f cents to 10 cents. Hardin's plea Is that the larger fee Is proper because an nutomobilo is virtually ne cessary In tlK-se modern times. The bill bus called forth many protests by letter from constituents of Hardin and others . Opponents bring out the fact that sheriffs frequently serve a r.umber of summons on a single trip, but collect mileage as though each re quired a separate trip. This, It Is said, offsets the low mileage rate. Walrath Named Deputy Oil Inspector. E. A.

NOT ANXIOUS TO RESUME WAR Plenipotentiaries of Balkan States Debate Whether to Renew Hostil ities at Ones or Delay and Latter Policy Wins Rumania Is F' ired. London. Jan. 27. The Baikan plenU potentiaries who have received full powers from their respective govern ments appointed a committee to draft a note to the Turkish phni potentiaries explaining why the pedce conference must now bo considered broken, off. It is hoped the drat', t ill be ready for approval by the fu'A delegation to night. This action of the aKies Is part of a series of well considered forms of pressure with which the Balkan dele gates hope p obtain their object with out resuming the war. The meetimr lasted for an hour and a half and the course to be followed was given earnest consideration. Two distinct view? were manifested one for the Immediate rupture of the ne gotiations leading to a resumption of the war and the other favoring a tern porizlnR policy, In order to avoid Ir revocable steps. The latter conrso tri umphed and a committee was appoint ed, consisting of one member from each delegation. Arguments Again Outlined. Oeneral lines were laid down on which the note is to be drafted, com prising the arguments already set forth many times as to why tha league demands the surrender of Ad rlanople and the Aegean Islands as an Indispensable condition to the conclu sion of peace. That the policy of the allies Is to gain time Is patent and does not de ceive anybody. The delegates decided that the advantages to be derived from the recumptlon of hostilities would be n proportion to the rlska they ran and that they would not take that step unless absolutely forced to do so. It Is realized that even a par tlal reverse would have grave moral nnd material consequences apart from the loss of thousands of men. In addition, the fact Is not over looked that there Is danger of Ru ninnla advancing from the rear and of Austria Imposing on Servla and Montenegro Us conditions for remain ing neutral. The only disadvantage In delaying decisive action Is In keeping large amies Inactive and on a war footing for a long time, thiiB heavily taxing- both the financial and agricul tural resources of the country.
