Emmeline Treasury Department Makes Arrangements for Ita Becoming Effective Saturday. Washington, Oct. 2. The tariff revision bill probably will be in the hands of President Wilson for his signature by tomorrow night. The senate, at the end of a listless debate; passed the conference report at 30 o'clock tonight by a vote of 36 to 17, only four more than the necessary quorum of the senate.

Senators La-I'ollette, Republican, and Poindexter, Progressive, voted for the conference report, as they did for the bill on its passage, and Senators Rajnsdell and, Thornton, Democrats, voted ugainst it, as they did against the bill. Otherwise It was a strict party vote. Immediately after the passage of the conference report, acting on motions made by Chairman Simmons of the finance committee, the senate rejected Smith-Lever compromise cotton futures tax amendment, passed by th-J bouse on Tuesday, and then receded from it own amendment, known as the Clarke cotton futures tax plan. Both of these, motions were carriedi without roll calls and their efftn't is to leave the cotton futures question out of the tariff bill, so far as th senate is concerned. Back to House This Morning.

The bill will be returned to the house early tomorrow. At a conference of house leaders today, the question was taken up as to whether the bill might nut go directly from the senate to the president. While many parliamentarians held that this course would lie legal, Chairman Underwood and Speaker Clark derided that the house should take formal action tomorrow, to recede from its cotton futures tax amendment. Such action will eliminate the sub-jnct from the bill and the completed measure can go to President Wilson at once. May Become Law Saturday.
