WASHINGTON, June 27. Arr attempt by
Senator Penro-e of the srnate f. nance com
mittee to Ilx July 24 r r a vote' on the Ca
nadian reciprocity bill w as defeated In the
senate today through Eenatbr La, Follette'a
objection-
The debate Indjcattd that a portion of
the republican lnM.rgentt and some demo
crats will fight to have the wool revision
and the free 1st bills passed, first so that
the president will have to act on them be
fore the senate pavx'es the reciprocity bill.
The Penrose resolution propoHed a vole
on the reciprocity bill July 14, a vote on
the wool revision bill July 26 and a vote
in the free list Mil July 28. Senator ' La
Follette'a objection , was made only to the
vote on the reciprocity bill. .
.. Senator Bailey urged no one .to object
to the other dates, but the republican lead
ers. realised they would be In an embar
rassing situation If the time was fixed for
the wool and free list votes and left un
settled for the reciprocity vote, and Sena
tor Smoot objected. .-''' '. .

"I will support' a resolution to fix the
dates for voting on the wool bill and the
free list bill r't the reciprocity vote two
weeks later," ... ienator Nelson.
Senators smiled . : the suggestion.
"Have you any information aa to what
the president will do -vtth the free list
and tha -wool bills?" a-.. 1 Senator Bailey.
"No," said Senator Penrose.
"I am compelled to think," eald Senator
Bailey, "that the senator from Pennsyl
vania calculates that If all these bills can
be put up to thepresldtnt separately the
result will be that he will approve the
reciprocity bill and veto tha other two
bills." , -
Benator Bailey aald it waa Inconceivable
that the president would veto the reciproc
ity bill which he desired,' because some
other ' tariff bill waa attached to it, un-
leaa he intended -to 'veto tha other Mil Iff
It came te- hlm epara-tely, -
"Is It perfectly apparent that the presi
dent will refuse to sign the reciprocity .bill

vision -- aid Benator Williams of Missis
sippi. "By1 wHat authority d you say that the
president will veto general tariff bills?"
asked Senator Nelson. ,
"By the authority of common sense,"
retorted Mr. Williams. .
"Then Is all this fight to pass the wool
bill and the free list bill simply a playing
of politics? demanded Benator Nelson.
Plana of Democrats.
"No," said Senator Williams, "we do not
expect to pass a general tariff bill. We
Intend to pass several small bills on the
more-important subjects. In the hope that
one or two of th will meet the approval
of the president''
Senator Bailey declared that the demo
crats had no chance of passing the wool
and free list bills without the support of
republican Insurgents.
"It Is perfectly apparent that the pro
gram adopted by the democrats will result
In the passage of the reciprocity bill and
the veto of any bills looking to the general
tariff revision," aald Benator Dixon.
"I do not propose to Join In any proposi
tion," said Senator Bailey, "that requires
the democrats to Join with the stalwarts to
pass this reciprocity, bill and then leave
us to Join with the Insurgents to pass bills !
that will be sure to be vetoed."
Benator Williams declared the democrats
could not secure enough republlcaa votes
to pass a general tariff bill except aa an
amendment to the reciprocity bill so aa to
kill both measures.
Senator Cummins declared the Insurgents
were willing to take the reeponsllbUty of
delaying the rota on tha reciprocity bill
unm every feature of it bad been dis
cussed. '
Benator Penrose repUed that though Be
fore tha seriate but three weeks there had
been little debate upon tha bill.
Mere Tariff Bills la Benee.

CHICAGO, June 27.-An officer of the law
being cared for by r.l prisoner, who had
declined to accept a perfect chance to es
cape, was the curious spectacle presented

and the Samaritan prisoner C. E. Duggan
who waa being taken to Dea Moines on a
charge of wife abandonment .Duggan was
arrested by Robleon at Indianapolis yes

for the depot to take a train for tha Iowa
capital. '
'We took Just one drink,' but It had
an awfu, effect an Roblson," explained
Duggan. "Something must have been
wrong with It, for It made Roblson help
less. Of course I could have escaped, but
I could not leave him sick and helpless, so
I brought him here, and I guess I'll look
after him."
