TFWUBLEINCOAECTING of Assessing Rate* 'Will Hinder Cow, Schedules In Income Tax Act, Ai Also--Chief Executive and ChallwiA in Aeeord. "^WalftlAgton,' March " fcls announced 4C--liflfoi* policy of k&teping in ^touch with tariff legislation. President Wilson conferred at length Monday With Chairman Underwood of the ways And means committee on details of the tariff bills which have been prepared tor submission to the Democratic cau« MOB. Underwood carrieda draft of the re. ;«b Vised tariff rates to the White House , and explained them to the President. Members of the ways and means com­ mittee understand that the president and Underwood are in accord on the tariff legislation policy and whatever suggestions the president has made 1 will be carried bacs by Underwood to ' . his committee. The administrative features of both the general tariff law and of the in. M " igbme tax are proving difficult of solu­ tion by the committee. It has been beld that the cost of collecting the CUB» toms duties has been excessive and 4 plans are under consideration tor cut­ ting down this expense. ?v'-' < . There is similar difficulty with pro- - v - pOBed plans for collecting the Income •v tax. While members of the committee would like to see the income exemp- lion point where the cost of collection T would make the tax unprofitable to the government. Mr. Underwood worked with Repre­ sentatives Hill of Tennessee and A. . -Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania over . / this feature of the Income tax bill. Mr. Underwood admitted that his " "V- committee had adopted a tentative In- Come tax rate, but the final rate is to be determined after the committee has . aome definite information of the amount of customs duties to be lost by the proposed reductions In the'general tariff schedules. ?? /: • StatiBLiciu-aM reported to the Ways -1' and means committee an estimate of * ' , . «U8toifas receipts to be collected under / t&e proposed hew tariff duties. Vx "While Underwood ' conferred with Secretary of War Garrison on tariffs affecting the insular possessions, those duties will not have any bearing on the general tariff revision or on the cus­ toms receipts. There Is practically free trade now with the Philippines, Hawaii and Porto Rloo, and a special reciprocal arrangement with Cuba. The insular tariffs are prepared usu­ ally by the bureau of insular affairs. Which is under the war department. TVV"-v.

The detectives, led astray for sev­ eral hours by the clever doubling of their quarry, all but missed the fugi­ tives, but traced their baggage aboard the ship in time to accomplish th^ir arrest _ With the elder Musica, a dignified Italian of sixty-eight years, were his son, Philip Musica,. aged thirty, two daughters and two other sons. Their attempt, traveling together and close­ ly pursued, to escape from the coun- try perhaps Is without parallel In the criminal history of the United States. Approximately $76,000 In cash was taken from the six Italians. This Is believed to be part of the $1,000,000 they are said to have obtained from American and European banking Ifrifls by means of fraudulent invoices for consignments of human hair. , & t £*:.l CHILDREN^ MAKE MERRY IN THE HUNTINGTON WILSON RESIGNS Bryan Aid Attacks Order Repudiating ttye Chinese Loan Plane--Restf- nation Is Accepted. Washington, March 21.--Out of har- .mony with the new administration's far eastern policy and vexed by the "unnecessary haste" in publishing a statement on the Chinese loan before it had been advised of its character. Huntington Wilson, acting secretary of state, resigned on Thursday. In a long lettet to President Wilson he set forth his grievances, and the' impropriety of trying to act as spokes­ man for policies with which he is not in accord, and demanded that the res­ ignation as assistant secretary of state, which he submitted on March 4, be effective at once. The president at once designated Second Assistant Secretary Adee to act as secretary of state In Mr. Bry­ an's absence, while it is probable that John Bassett Moore will be appointed counselor of the state department with authority as an assistant secre­ tary. In accepting the resignation of Huntington Wilson, the president made no reply to the statements in the letter of resignation.

Washington, March 24. -A message was received here Friday announcing the death of President Manuel Bonilla of Honduras. Francisco Bertrand, •Ice-president, immediately succeeded to the office. Washington, March 25.--President Wilson Is seriously coucerned because of the repeated refusals of prominent Democrats to accept high diplomatic appointments on account of financial inability to maintain the positions, practically appealed to the country Sunday to back him up In a request that congress pay ambassadors and ministers enough to enable poor men to represent this country abroad. This appeal was made ln a state* ment concerning the declination of William McCombs of the offer of the ambassadorship to . Paris. Mr. Mc­ Combs declined solely on tho ground that he could not Afford to take the place. The president said: 1 am very sorry, indeed, that Sir. McCombs cannot accept, the appoint­ ment to jFrance. I was particularly anxious that he should. My admira­ tion of his abilitjy, my knowledge or his singular capacity for grasping complex situations, my confidence in his fact and resourcefulness as well as my affection for him and the In­ timate relations t^at of course exist between us, combine to make my dis­ appointment very great Indeed. But I of course appreciate the force of the reason he gives. He would have ac­ cepted at an unreasonable sacrifice and I could not further press the of­ fer upon him. "It is a great pity that the country has to ask such sacrifices of those who ^re Invited to serve it abroad-- a service which every year becomes more exacting and more Important. The sacrifice of time, of mon4y and of opportunity at home Is very serious for any but men of large means and leisure and the diplomatic service is unnecessarily hampered." Mr. McCombs' refusal followed that of Richard Olney and CharleB W. Eliot, ex-presfdent of Harvard, who both were offered the ambassadorship to the court of St. James. The Salary of an ambassador Is $17,500 a year and an expert opinion given here by John Barrett, who has been in the diplomatic service as minister and is now director of the Pan-American Union, is that $25,000 is the least that one can spend and maintain the dignity of an embassy. Even at that figure the ambassador or minister would be $8,500 ln debt to his salary at least at the end of every year. MRS. EATON IS HELD WIDOW ARRE8TED AFTER INQUI­ RY INTO ADMIRAL'S DEATH.
