Joseph M. Wade Is Dead, Once Be-

resident of Dorchester, who had been

phans of Japan, died In the belief
that he was the spiritual husband of
Madame Blavdtsky, the theosophical

In a master's report filed In the superl
or court.
The report was upon the suit of Her-
bert W. Burke, executor of Wade's
estate, against Yamanaka & Co., deal-
ers In Japanese curios, to compel them
to restore to the estate a bill of sale
of a collection of Japanese and orien-
tal articles valued at between *15,000
and $20 000. Burke alleged that Wade
was induced to affix his "mark" to the
bill when he was too feeble to under-
stand his acts. His contention was
sustained by the court.
Wade, according to the master s re-
port had an "occult room" filled with
Japanese art objects, where he went
to commune with spirits. From the
"other world" he gained the belief
that he would begin to get better or
grow rapidly worse by December 15.

Washington.—The Underwo°d tarl«
bill proclaimed by the democratic
party as the answer to its platform
pledge to revise the tariff downward
was passed by the house. Ibe vote
was 281 to 139. five democrats voting
against the bill and two republicans
voting for it. Four progressives .up-
ported the bill and fourteen voted
against, while one independent pro-
gressive joined with the majority.
When Speaker Clark announced the
vote in loud tones that revealed his
satisfaction in the arrival of the day
he long had sought, exuberant demo
crats hoisted a stuffed democratic
donkey over the heads of their col-
leagues in the rear of the chamber,
a faint ripple of applause followed
and the gavel fell on the flrat chapter
i„ the history of President Wilsons
extra session of oongress.
With the bill, after three weeks con-
sideration, on its way to the senate,
there was a rush of representatives
for their homes. In the house an ad-
journment will be taken three days at
a time begining next week until June
1 In the meantime, the senate finance
committee will study the bill while the
house ways and means committee wllj
organize committees preparatory to
the transaction of business next
month. , , 
Republicans and progressives led re-
spectively by Representatives Mann
and Murdock, protested to the last
against the measure, the lowest taria
ever written, and proclaiming as the
democratic avalanche bowled them
over the virtues of different tariff com-
mission plans.
Republicans who voted for the bill
were Cary and Stafford of Wisconsin
Democrats who opposed It were
Broussard, Dupree, Lazare and Mor-
gan of Louisiana, on account of the
schedule reducing sugar 25 per cent,
and sending it to the free list in three
years, and C. B. Smith of New York.
Progressives who voted for the bill
were Kelley and Rupley of Pennsyl-
vania, Nolan of California and Bryan
of Washington. Kent of California,
formerly a republican, but now an In-
dependent progressive, also voted for
the bill. Progressive Leader Mur-
dock and thirteen of Ills progressive
followers voted with the minority.
Representative Copley of Illinois, a
progressive, did not vote, answering
-present" to his name.
The bill's passage through the sen-
ate will be fought at every step by
a republican organization apparently
entirely In accord on this subject and
entirely willing to speud unlimited
time and energy in an effort to defeat
It. Leaders of the democrats on ths
senate finance committee, which will
handle the hill, expressed the belief
that It would go through In practically
the same form as It passed the house
and that their small majority will
stand firm to the last. Subcommit-
