WASHINGTON, Dec. l.-The much-discussed
report of the tariff board on the
wool schedule of the Payne tariff and on
the wool Industry will be In the hands of
President Taft not later than Decern
ber 11.
This plan was made at the White
House today following a visit of Chair
man Emery and A. II. Bandera of the
blard. The cotton report will be
sent to the White House a few days later.
Mr. Taft spent nearly an hour with the
two members of the' board and urged
them to make all possible haste la the
preparation of both reports and) the
board will work nights and Sundays
until these two schedules and Industries
are completed.
Mr. Taft'a two special tariff messages,
one on wool and the other on cotton, It
became known, will be merely formal
documents of transmittal. Under the act
creating the tariff board It Is not ex
pected to make recommendations for
tariff legislation to congress.
Its report will show the comparative
cost of production of wool and cotton In
the various states in the United States
and abroad, but it will not contain con
clusions as to any rates. It Is said that
In his tariff messages the president does
not now Intend to go any further than
the board. y
Hone Will Make Inquiry.
It was said at the White House to be
the president's understanding that the
house' ways and means committee will
make its own Investigation of the woolen
Industry after it receives the tariff
board's report. The president. It was
stated, would hesltite, therefore to rec
ommend the specific rate when congress
planned a supplemental Investigation of
Its own. . Reports that the tariff board
had been split over the report on raw
wool and Its need of protection were de
nied by Mr. Emery and Mr. Sanders after
their talk with the president.
"We are all harmonious," said Ml,
Emery.
In conversation with callers the presi
dent himself said he had questioned the
board members and that they had re
ported no disagreement and plenty of
harmony. The report that Mr. Taft was
dissatisfied with advance intormatlon as
to what the tariff hoard would say about
raw wool ami tmtl he had directed it to
make another report was denied.
"I did not tell them to make another
report at ail; X urged tuem to hurry up
their report, thaiwas all," the president
Is quoted as saying. . -

TEHERAN, Dec 1. The national coun
cil has rejected the Russian ultimatum
by a big majority. The foreign minister
has resigned.
The vote ot the national council on re
jection of the ultimatum was cast In
open session. A subsequent secret sitting
of the members was practically unan
imous against compliance.
A cablegram from British Minister Sir
Edward Grey was presented 'to the as
sembly during Us sitting. The dispatch
urgently advised compliance with the
Russian demands, but some of the mem
bers pointed out that England's advloe
had heretofore only led to Persian hu
miliation. They believed that Sir Edward
Grey had been misinformed and em
phatically asserted that Russian injustice
had become intolerable. They thought
that resistance on the part of the Per
sian governmjnt to the Russian de
mands would awaken foreign attention
and lead to an Impartial inquiry. Com
pliance, on the other hand, would be
construed as a sign of abject cowardice
and would mean national suicide.
Ala Eil Dowrh Assassinated.
Ala Ed Doweh, former governor of the

he was leaving ' his residence today.
Three men participated In the crime.
Speaker after speaker declared that It
was lmposlble ' for Persia ever to sign

should wrest It from it that would be
God's will.
A . deputation of members of the na
tional council wait id on W. Morgan
Shuster-before the vote was taken in the
parliamentary session. . The American
treasurer general, begged them to consult-only
the Interests of their country
and not to consider him. The national
council registered its refusal to comply
with the terms ot the Russian ultimatum,
at 11:46, just a quarter of an hour before
the time riinlt of, the, expiration of the
ultimatum'.
In the meanwhile large, silent crowds,
thronged around the precincts of the par
liament house, waiting for the verdict
ot the deputies. The Russian minister
here, M. Poklewsky-Kozlela, notified the
Persian government that the mother,
bhua-Es-Shultaney, and all her property
would henceforward be placed under the
protection of Russia In compliance With
a: request which sha had telegraphed to
the emperor and empress of Russia,
The Russian ultimatum, to the terms ot
which the Persian national council re
fused to agree, called, in the first place,
for the lns'ant dismissal of W. Morgan
Shuster, the American who has for sev
eral months occupied the post ot Persian
treasurer general. A further demand was
for a cash Indemnity from Persia to oover
the cost of the dispatch of Russian troops
to thqt country. ' ,
Rnaelans March ob Teheraav
ST. PETERSBURG, Deo. 1. In conse
quence of the rejection by the Persian
national council of the Russian demands,
KusBia has ordered the Russian troops,
now concentrated at Resht, capital of the
Persian province of Ghilan, sixteen miles
from Enzeli on the Caspian sea, to ad
vance on Teheran.
Russia has, it Is believed, 4,000 men
concentrated at Resht. These troops ar
rived at Enzell, a port on the Caspian
sea, on November 22. They were dis
patched to Persia in consequence of the
delay of the Persian government in com
plying with the Russian demand for an
apology to the Russian vice consul at
Teheran, M.Petroff, and the withdrawal
of the gendarmes raised by W. Morgan
Shuater, the treasurer general, who were
engaged In northern Persia collecting ar
rears of taxes. The gendarmes had Ig
nored M. Petroff when he protested
against the treasury's seizure of the
property of Shuab-Es-Sultane, brother of
the cx-shah. '

Decrease for the Year is Nearly
Forty Per Cent.
THOUSANDS RETURN TO EUROPE
Ebb In the Tide Is Tvrft-Tnlrda of
the Flviv Mtif Gi from,
the United State to

NEW YORK. Dec. 1. Herbert Francla
Sherwood, in discussion the ebb and flow
of Immigration in the Review of Reviews
for Docember says that little attention
has been given to the fact that in. the
Course ot the year, which la Just .clos
ing, a marked change occurred in the
movement to this country.
"Between January 1 and September 80,
1911 he said, "430,670 persons landed on
our snores from the third-class cabins ot
the trans-Atlantic llneis. While some ar
dent restrlctionlsta might assert that
this total was large, enough, yet It wu
less than two-tblrds the number that
came to us in the same class in the course
of the corresponding period of last year.
The exact falling off was 278,424, or ISM
per cent.
"Perhaps a knowledge of the fact that
a number ot those who sailed eastward
in the steerage In the' case of the nine
month which closed September 0, was
300,010, or 66.55 per cent of the total of
those who entered,, and an Increase over
the number who went to Europe last year
of 85.47 per cent, will cause our restrlc
tlonist friend io go to the length ot throw
ing up his hat in his enthusiasm."
More Go to Canada.
Mr. 6her wood says.
"The Immigration to the dominion of
Canada for the first nine months ot this
year, in contrast to that of this country,
was gi eater than for the corresponding
period of last year, but the ebb waa only
18.12 per cent of the flow. This, It will be
recalled, la about 12 por cent below the
average for the United States. It, how
ever, was 6 per cent higher than that for
the corresponding period of 11)10.
"Only recently has the ebb and flow of
Immigration been accepted as a register
of the condition of the labor market In
the United States, or ha it been recog
nized as obedient to the law of supply and
demand. We now realize that this country
has tapped the supply. of labor which Is
sufficiently automatic In the expenslon
and - contraction of Us current to meet
the needs ot a land subject to such fluct
uating requirement a our own."

LOS A-NGICLE3, Dec 1. James P. Mc
Namara pleaded guilty this afternoon to
murder In the first degree In connection
with the death of Charles J, Haggerty, a
vtctlm ot the Los Angelea Time explo
sion and fire.
III brother, John J. McNamara, Jointly
Indicted with him, pleaded guilty to
dynamiting the Llewellyn Iron works. .
They will be sentenced next Tuesday, De
cember S.
James U. McNamara probably will get
life Imprisonment.
John J. McNamara, It was rumored,
will get fourteen years. Each pleaded
guilty to the charge on which b was ex
tradited from Indianapolis.
Trial Comes to End.
Within fifteen minutes after court
opened this afternoon one ot the greatest
criminal trial ot modern times had ended
so abruptly that many officials suppos
edly in the heart of the case did not
know It was going to happen. The pris
oner were .taken back to Jail. Judgo
Walter Bordwell retired to hi chambers
and opposing counsel went to their rooms.
"Th McNamara hav pleaded guilty
because they ar guilty," wa District
Attorney John D. Frederick's crisp com
ment. .
"If I'd seen any way out ol It w
would not have don It." ald Attorney
Clarence S. Darrow. after court ad
journed. "We'v had It under consid
eration lnc a week ago Monday."
Harrow Talk ot Case.
Attorney Darrow stood around the room
after court adjourned and newspaper
men crowded around him.
"I'm glad if over with," said Darrow
with a sigh. "We have been working on
this for two weeks, and It ha been the
greatest strain of my life. Th Times
building was blown up by James B. Mc
Namara with nitroglycerin, to b sure,
but th bomb touched oft th gas and
gas really did It."
"Did you have to wrestle hard with the
McNamara to get that admlsslonT" b
wa asked.
No Loophole Left.
"Somewhat," but the fact have bett
overwhelming. Every loophole wa gath
ered in by the state. As far as I am
concerned, I felt that sooner or later It
had to come. Things were happening In
which big people wer interested. Th
movement wa Impelling. They wanted
the matter cleared up and feared further
bloodshed, utiles we obliterated th In
cident from Loa Angeles at once. Of
course, I feel I hav Jielped th McNa
mara by getting them to plead guilty
insofar a they probably will not be sen
tenced to death. Life Imprisonment will
be meted out to James 11., and John J.
will get off with a light sentence."
District Attorney Frederick Intimated
that he would recommend life Imprison
ment for James B. and, that John J.
probably would have to serve a short
term. The matter was practically ar
ranged early today by agreement between
counsel.
"Do you think union labor will uffer?"
asked a reporter.
Murder Not Intended.
"Oh i no, It Is Just an Incident In tho
volution of things. Because one does
wrong does not mean that all other are
wrong. A a matter of fuct, Jim McNa
mara did not mean to kill anybody. They
hav told me the whole story and It Is
substantially as lthaa been told in the'
press except I reiterate that there was
really no criminal Intent. It wa meant a
a scare to the Time and I doubt whether
there was enough exploslv to really do
the damage that was done, but of course.
