Republicans Caucus Sets Sugar Schedule for Tariff Bill
The Republican senatorial caucus voted to stand together on all tariff schedules and instructed the finance committee to report a new sugar schedule. The proposed duty on refined sugar would be one and ninety five hundredths of a cent per pound, replacing the current one cent and eight hundred seventy five thousandths. Coarse raw sugar from the Philippines and Java would enter at one tenth of a cent less than other raw sugars. Hawaiian treaty abrogation was discussed but no conclusion reached. Schlatter story: a man claiming to be Francis Schlatter arrived in Cleveland and said he will seek clinics in a theater or church. In Kentucky a 15-year-old son murdered his Methodist minister father with a shotgun after a prior punishment.
