BAILEY QUITS COMMITTEE TO PREVENT MORE PEERS
Leaves Privileges and Elections Body
to Act as Conferee on Wool
. Measure.
Staff Special to Tbe Express.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27,-Being
the ranking Democratic member of the
Senate Finance Committee, Senator
Bailey will be one of the conferees to
adjust the wool tariff differences between
the House and Senate. In order to give
his attention to this work, as Senator
Bailey explained, he formally resigned to-
day his place 011 Senate Privileges and
Elections Committee, the committee which
is investigating Lorimer's election and
will investigate Stephenson's.
Both Senator Bailey and Senator Cul-
berson gave their support to the Under-
wood bill first and later to the LaFol-
letto bill today.
Of his resignation from the Privileges
and Elections Committee, Senator Bailey
said to The Express correspondent:
"The situation in the committee on
Privileges and Elections is this: Four of
the six Democrats are now engaged in
the Lortmer Investigation, thus leaving
only two of us for work in the Stephen-
son investigation.
"It simply was impossible for me to
perform my duty as a member of that
subcommittee and at the same time per-
form ray duties as conferee 011 the wool
bill. I preferred to do the latter work
and asked to be relieved from service
from tlie committee on Privileges and
Elections so that some other Democrat
could be assigned to inv place."
The classification on mohair with third-
class wool bv the LaFollette bill aroused
Representative Garner of Texas to action
this afternoon. Mohair should be rated
with first-class wool and, under the duties
of the I<aFollette bill on first-class wool,
be taxed 35 per cent. Senator Bailey will
undertake to rectify this In conference
committee. Senator I^Follette, when
eeejv by Mr. Garner, admitted ho did not
realize the importance of the. mohair in-
dustry and would favor properly classi-
fying that peculiarly Western and Texas
product. The Wisconsin Senator said lie
had erroneously placed mohair 011 a
parity with camel's hair and alpaca.

Premier Asqtilth's Declaration Is Gen-

German Capital.
BERLIN, July 27.—-Premier Asqulth's
declaration is generally favorably re-
ceived In re, and It is believed in most
quarters it will immediately relieve the
tension in the Moroccan question.
All the newspapers publish Mr. As-
quit h's statement verbatim on the prin-
cipal page. Some of the leading journals,
however, make no editorial comment.
These are chiefly the conservative pan-
German organs. The others refer briefly
to passages in the British Premier's
statement tiiat are considered here as
unneeessarily sharp.
The Liberal papers unanimously pro-
claim tl<e Premier's speech as tending
toward peace.
