Caucus Defeats Motion of
Representative Broussard to!
Exclude Free Sugar in Three
Years' Proviso From Tariff
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 14—By an over
whelming: majority the house Demo
cratic caucus today • voted down amend-
Inens to the sugar tariff schedule pro
posed by Representative Broussard, of
Louisiana, and supported by members
from fche gugar states, to eliminate the
provision, for free sugrar in three years
Lnd provide an immediate ten per cent,
reduction to be followed by gradual re
duction for six years. The vote against
|t was 86 to 15.
Congressmen from Louisiana led by
Representative Broussard and aided by
jnembers from Michigan and other beet
pugar states assailed the duties approved
yj the ways and means committee and,
president Wilson, as ruinous to the
pugar industry in their states.
Chairman Underwood began the argu
ment in defense of the schedule.
Amendments proposed by Representa
tive Broussard were ‘’opposed by the flat
free sugar champions led by Representa
tive Hardwick, of Georgia, who offered
Tin amendment that raw sugar be placed
bn the free list at once without . any
gradual reduction.
Mr. Hardwick's argument against a
Schedule reduction was that it discrim
inated in favor of segregated industries
|n Louisiana and the beet sugar states.
Representative Broussard’s first
Amendment proposed a cut on 96 per
bent, sugar from Cuba of 20 cents per
hundredweight at the outset, 29 cents
In 1916 and 37 cents in 1919. On 100
ter cent, sugar his amendment would
make a cut in the.rate of 37 1-2 cents
per hundredweight now; 50 cents in 1916
|md 62 cents in ,1919.
Another amendment proposed was to
Ixtend the period of grace for free sugar
lo four years, thus throwing it beyond
Ihe next national campaign when the
Question could again bo publicly dis-
|ussed. * . /
The first pugar amendment irr the
fcaucus was by Representative Hardwick,
bf Georgia, to make sugar free on May
I, 1916, instead of June 30, this year, as
provided. He said he wanted housewives
to get the benefit of the reduction in the
fanning season. He offered another pro
viding flatly for free sugar on the pass
age of the bill. Representative Brous
sard introduced an amendment for a 10
per cent reduction o nly.’
Anti-free wool Democrats from nearly
twenty states determined, if outvoted in
Ihe caucus, to exempt themselves from
Ihe binding caucus pledge and to con-
|inue the fight in the house.
They decided, when the wool schedule
Is reported, to introduce an amendment
lo place a duty of 15 per cent ad va
lorem oft raw wool. This, the anti-free
Wool members insist, was the original
Judgment of the ways and means com
mittee, who yielded to President Wil
son’s desire when they decided to put
Wool on the free list.
“If we cannot get votes enough in the
fcaucus,” said Representative Adair, of
Indiana,' “we will exempt-ourselves from
the caucus pledge and fight on the floor
for enough Republican alliance against
free wool to carry out poin^t.”

Of Tobacco Fumse
(By Associated Press.)

Since John
Quit Drinking
By John’s Wife
I’m tb© happiest little woman.
In all this little town;
And my merry laugh and singing.
Takes the place of sigh and frown.
For JOHN HAS QUIT HIS DRINKING
And is like himself once more,;
And the world is JuBt a paradise
With such happiness in store!
One day I read some verses—
“Mary’s Miracle,” the name,
And I said, that’s John exactly.
And I’ll send and get the same.'
6o I sent for GOLDEN REMEDY,
(As sly as sly could be)
And I put It in John’s supper
And I put It In his tea.
And it didn’t taste a little hit;
Had no odor, so, you see—
It was smoothest kind of sailing
For little Doctor Me. .
And I watched and prayed and waited,
(And cried some, too, I guess),
And I didn’t have the greatest faith,
I’m ashamed now to confess.!
And John never though; a minute,
He was being cured of drink,
And Boon he’s as well as any one,
It makes me cry to think!
Just makes me cry for gladness,
I’m so proud to be his wife—
Since he is cured of drinking,
And leads a nice, new life,
“Since John he quit a-drlnklng!”
I can’t say it times enough!
And hates and loathes a liquor
As he would a poison stuff.
And when I say my prayers at nlgnt
As thankful as can be—
I pray for John the most of all—
Then GOLDEN REMEDY.

off. Collections are slow. Farmers
have taken advantage of the open
weather, and progress has been made in
farming operations.
SAVANNAH.—Retail trade is fair,
but wholesale dealers report that busi-
iness is not up to normal. There is
caution is extending credit in the coun
try districts, with trade, confined to
well known customers. Preparations
for the cotton crop are further ad
vanced than for the past two years,
and the outlook for future business is
brighter. Lumber is bringing a good
price, but demand is not so atcive as
it was a few months ago.

favorable for crop planting.
MOBILE.—Wholesale , trade is quiet
for this season of the year, but retail
is fairly active. Collections are., slow.
Farmers are making better headway;
owing to more favorable weather con

last year. Trade in .all lines is very
quiet and colletcions &re poor.
JACKSON.—Continued rains delay
planting. Trade, wholesale and retail,
is fair. Collections are slow. Demand
for lumber is good.
NEW ORLEANS—Farmers have been
retarded somewhat by rains, but prog
ress is being made except in those sec
tions directly subject to overflow.
Planters in the latter localities are
holding back to some extent, waiting
further developments as regards the wa
ter situation. Merchants too in these
sections are not buying to any extent.
Conditions in other parts of Louisiana
and southern Mississippi appear to be
fair to good. Jobbers report fair ac
tivity, and retail trade seems quite ac
tive. Collections are fair. Planting
of cotton corn, rice and sugar is go
ing forward with fair progress.
OKLAHOMA.—Timely ayd plenteous
rains have been beneficial to winter
wheat, which is in excellent condition.
The soil is in good condition for seed
ing but continued cold weather has re
tarded growth of vegetation and there
is a shortage of feed. Trade is light
and collections are , slow.
SAN ANTONIO.—Wholesale dealers
report sales good. Collections are fair
and prospects are good. In the grocery
line collections are better than for sev
eral months. The cabbage crop is mov
ing in carloads and at fair prices.
Onions, just coming in, are good of
quality, and prices are fair. A train
load shipment of cabbages from San
Benito county to the east was one of
the past week’s features. Conditions
alongf the border are bad, sales are light
and collections are slow, in irrigation
districts cabbage sell $5 to $6 per ton.
Oats to the west are in poor condition
owing to the lack of rain. Cotton with
in a radius of fifty miles of San An
tonio is in good shape, and a large area
is being planted. Much fodder is be
ing planted, with ribbon cane and
Egyptian wheat leading.
THE CROPS.
The winter wheat prospect, in bush
els, has seldom if ever been better,
area and condition considered, than it
was on April 1. A record yield is pos
sible even with, all necessary deduc
tions for winter'killing. Spring wheat
seeding is slower than usual, owing to
rain or snow in the northwest prohib
iting plowing or seeding. Cotton plant
ing is active in parts of Texas, those
sections of the lower Mississippi val
ley not subject to possible overflow,
and in the southeast, whence come the
best weather reports of the week. Mois
ture conditions are good the country
over, except in parts of west Texas,
where there is not enough in the soil.
The crest of the flood has passed from
the upper Mississippi valley and its
main tributary, tthe Ohio, and the af
flicted districts are fast resuming op
erations. In many cases the losses are
proved to have been not so great as
earlier feared. Industries in the strick
en regions are very ge-neraly resum
ing, and jobbers and retailers in those
sections are being helped to restore
business. Complaint of railway facili
ties not being equal to needs come from
large centers,- but the close .of this
week is expected to bring practical re
habilitation in this respect, large ship
ments to replace lost or damage stocks
and a heavier movement,of grain from
the farms to leading markets, osses at
Dayton are placed at about $30,000,000.
Railway requirements to replace lost
bridges and trackage are not as large
as earlier expected. Interest in the
floods has now been transferred to
the cotton and sugar districts of the
lower valley. Some levees have brok
en, but a cessation of rain may make
possible the ^holding of the line as a
whole till the crest of the flood reaches
the sea and the record high flood of
1913 becomes history.
SOUTH TO BE FREED
FI
REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT
Last Black Federal Officer in;
South Carolina Removed as
Collector of Customs in
Beaufort—Others Will Follow
Will Filibuster Until Taft’s 2,-
500 Are Confirmed-Demo
crats Will Retaliate
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.—
President Wilson today displaced Bob
Small, a well known negro politician,
as collector of customs for the district
of Peaufort, S. C., and gave the place
to Franklin P.- Golcock, who was the
choice Senators Tillman and Smith
for the position. Colcock is a prog
ressive Democrat, and was warmly for
th© president for the Democratic nom
ination.’
The romoval of Small frees the
state of South Carolina of negro of
fice holders for the first time in near
ly twenty years. Small, who has been
: big factor in Republican politics of
th e state, has had the Beaufort collec-
torship since Cleveland’s last admin
istration.
No efforts have been made to oust
him, but it remained for President Wil
son to turn the trick. The South Car
olina senators and congressmen are
rejoiced at the speedy action of the
president.
In the nomination of Rhydon M. Call,
of Jacksonville* for United States judge
for the southern district of Florida,
President Wilson made a ten strike
with the Floridians in congress. Call,
who is a nephew of the late Senator
Call, had the indorsement of Senators
Fletcher and Bryan, and is entirely ac
ceptable to the bar of the state.
President Taft, before his retirement,
; ttempted to fill this Florida judge-
ship. He nominated J. M. Cheney,
Republican state chairman, but the
senate declined to confirm the nomi
nation.'
Many believe that the removal of Bob
Small from his post in South Carolina
is the beginning of a general move
ment /. the president to displace all
negro office holders in the south.
NEGRO IN FLORIDA.
Joe Lee, a negro, who has for three
administrations held and fattened on
the job as collector for the port of
Jacksonvile, Fla., is reported to be the
next black in line for the axe.
The Florida legislature waived all
rules and passed a resolution through
both houses the same morning, asking
President Wilson to remove Lee from
his post and Senator N. P. Bryan will
carry the resolution to the president.
Congressman Emmet Wilson, of the
r ”hird Florida district, has already
spoken to the president concerning the
removal of Lee, and is reported to have
recommende Sheriff Lewis, of Jackson
county, for the place.
Among the nominations sent to the
senate today by President Wilson were:
To be third assistant secretary of
slate, Dudley Field- Malone, of New
York. :: p 4 '
To be counsellor for the state depart
ment, John Bassett Moore, of New
York.
To be collectors of customs, for the
district of Saluria, Tex., Andrew H.
Evans; for the district of Beaufort, S,
C., Franklin P. Colcock.
To be United States judge for the
southern district of Florida, Rhydon
M. Call.
To be United States attorney western
district of Texas, J. L. Camp.
To be United States marshal, north
district of Texas, William J. McDonald,
western district of Texas, John Rogers.
President Wilson conferred today with
Senator Martin and Representative Fitz
gerald, chairman of the senate and
house appropriations committees, about
the eajly passage of a sundry civil bill.
Mr. Taft vetoed the bill in the last con
gress because it contained a provision
exempting labor unions and farmers’ or
ganizations from prosecutions under the
fund appropriated for the operation of
the Sherman anti-trust law.
While no conclusions were reached,
according to White House officials, Mr.
iFtzgerald said the measure probably
would be introduced from the floor of
the house in almost the identical form
which it reached Mr. Taft. He intimated
that the exemption clause which Mr.
Taft characterized as class legislation
would be retained. What position the
president would take was not made clear
at the White House.

BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12.—
Senate Republicans at a caucus Mon
day will decide whether to inaugurate a
perpetual filibuster against President
Wilson’s nominations. The call for the
caucus was circulated today by Senator
Townsend, of Michigan, who feels con
siderable resentment over the fight made
on Taft’s nominations by the Democrats
at the last session- of congress. He ex
perienced little difficulty in obtaining
the requisite number of signatures to his
petition and the call for the caucus fol
lowed.
Discussing his scheme tonight. Sena
tor Townsend admitted that it is his de
sire to commit the Republicans of the
senate to a systematic, organized fight
on the president’s nominations. He
thinks it will be comparatively easy for
the Republicans to prevent the confirma
tion of any or all of the nominations,
and it is his idea to hold up every one
of them, until the Democrats make sat
isfactory terms.
The Michigan senators will not be sat
isfied until the Democrats retract what
they £id at the last session and confirm
the 'two thousand or twenty-five hundred
Republican nominations that were sent
in by Taft. When these nominations
have been confirmed, Townsend says, he
would then be willing to confirm Pres
ident Wilson’s nominations.
The terms suggested by Townsend are
out of the question. If the perpetual
filibuster is inaugurated by the Repub
licans it may be set down as certain
that the Democrats will never agree to
confirm the names sent in by Taft. The
Democrats will urge President Wilson’s
policy of retaliation that would result
in the summary removal of every Repub
lican officeholder, the offices thus vacated
to be filled by recess appointments.

PURSUED BY BLEASE,
TUTOR TO QUIT STATE
President S, C, Mitchell, of S.
C, University, Has Accepted
Place in Virginia
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA, S. C., April 12.—Governor
Blease is about to succeed in causing
President S. C. Mitchell, of the Univer
sity of South Carolina, to leave the state
college, for Dr. Mitchell has accepted
the offer of the presidency of the Con
solidated Medical college, at Richmond,
Va., with a salary of $5,000 a year. He
states that unless the authorities of that
institution release him from his accept
ance, he will leave the university and
go to Virginia.
DELUGED BY TELEGRAMS.
A vigorous 'protest against acceptance
of the Virginia offer has been lodged
with Dr. Mitchell. He has been deluged
with telegrams from all parts of the
state urging him to remain here. The
student body, in mass meet; the faculty
and scores of the citizens of Columbia
have urged him to decline the Virginia
offer. The chamber of commerce waited
on him in a body and joined in the pro
test against his leaving. Finally Dr.
Mitchell said that if the Virginia
authorities would release him he would
reconsider and remain at the university;
otherwise, he would go.
A com-mittee of citizens was ready to
go to Richmond last night to seek Dr.
Mitchell’s release, but, on communica
tion with the Virginia committee, they
were informed that Dr. Mitchell had
been offered the presidency of the Vir
ginia medical college, and he accepted,
and thus the matter was closed.
The committee abandoned their trip,
but are in communication with Rich
mond by telegraph today, hoping to
secure a reconsideration. However, it is
generally accepted here this morning
as definite that Dr. Mitchell will go to
Virginia.
TWO KILLED BY

Holloway Jail
This Should Keep
The Baby Healthy
(By Associated Press,)
LONDON, April 14.—Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the suffragette leader was
reelased from Holloway jail this morn
ing after having been on a “hunger
strike’’ since she was sentenced only,
nine days ago, to three years of penal
servitude.
Mrs. Pankhurst was released on pro
bation, under the terms of which she
must report at intervals to the police.
In case she commits any misdemeanor
she is liable to immediate arrest with
out a warrant and must then serve out
her full term of conviction. The in
tention of the authorities is to allow
her to be free only until she regains
her strength.
The condition of the suffragette
leader was described by her friends
this morning as very grave. She was
removed at once to a sanitarium.
The Women’s Social and Political
union, the organization of the militant
suffragettes, did not learn in advance
of the intended release of Mrs. Pank
hurst and there was no demonstration
when she left Holloway jail.
Phyllis Brady and Millicent Dean,
two girls who were arrested on April
4 as “suffragette fire-brands,” were
sentenced to six weeks imprisonment
each. Miss Brady has been on a “hun
ger strike” since she was arrested and
appeared in court today in an exhaus
ted condition.
CUBAN LIBERALS SLAY
MAYOR OF CIENFUEGQS
Ceferino A, Mendez, Conserva
tive, Waylaid and Assassi
nated on City’s Streets
(By Associated Press.)
HAVANA, April 12.—Ceferino A.
Mendez, the newly elected conservative
mayor of the city of Cienfugos, in the
province of Santa Clara, was assassi
nated last night. A group of men way
laid him in the street while he was
on his way home and riddled him with
bullets.
The motive of the assassination is
known to have been political, Mendez
having incurred the bitter enmity of
the defeated liberals at the time of the
election.
Six suspected men have been ar
rested in connection with the crime.
Fears are entertained that the mur-
dr will be the beginning of a bloody
feud between the conservatives and
liberals.
When It is III Don’t Become
Alarmed But Give This
Fine Laxative
It is often difficult to tell just what is
the matter with a crying, peevish baby
or child too young to express its feel
ings in words, but as a general rule the
mother will find that there is a ten
dency to constipation, which has brought
on a headache or nervousness. The lit
tle one has no pain, but feels “out of
sorts.”
The first thing to try is a family rem
edy containing good but mild laxative
properties, and many mothers will say
that their choice would be Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin. Thousands of
mothers keep it in the house for such
emergencies, among whom may be men
tioned Mrs. Jennie Manruel, Altamont,
111., who began to give her baby, Fred
erick, Syrup Pepsin when he was 6
months old, and has used it ever since
with gratifying results. She writes that
Frederick was not growing well and
threw up his food, but after a few days
use of Syrup Pepsin he was able to re
tain his food and gained rapidly in
weight. Thousands of others are glad,
to say that Syrup Pepsin saved them
many an illness and many a large doc
tor bill, for by administering it prompt
ly, when the first symptoms of illness
were noticed, they prevented a serious
ailment.
It is so pleasant-tasting that no child
will refuse it, and as it does not gripe,
the child is glad to take it again. A
bottle can be obtained of any druggist
for fifty cents or one dollar, the latter
being the size bought by families already
familiar with its merits. Results are al-
F RE DERICK MANUEL. .
ways guaranteed or money will be re
funded.
Syrup Pepsin is for all the family
from infancy to old age, and because of
its mildness families should prefer it
over all other remedies. It is absolute
ly safe and reliable. You will never
again give cathartics, pills, salts or such
harsh physics, for they are usually un
necessary, and in the case of children,
women and elderly people are a great
shock to the system, and hence should
be avoided.
If no member of your family has ever
used Syrup Pepsin and you would like
to lyake a personal trial of it before
buying it in the regular way of a drug
gist, send your address—a postal will do
—to Dr. W. B. Ualdwell, 425 Washing-
> ton St, Monticello, Ill., and a free sam-
j pie bottle will be mailed you.

zatlan. Rear Admiral Cowles reported
to tfte navy department late today by
wireless.
Corrie’s nearest relative is A. S. J.
Corrie, of Los Angeles, Cal. He has
served in the navy two years. Keslow’s
nearest realtive is his father who lives
in San Francisco. He had been in the
navy eleven years. Both men had ex
cellent records. Admiral Cowles re-j
ports they were not likely to be ag-|
gressors in a street fight.
Recently there have been repeated dis
plays of anti-American feeling at somel
of the Pacific ports of Mexico. A few
weeks ago when talk of intervention was|
at its height, two officers of the cruise
Denver were assaulted while ashore a
Guaymas and on another occasion when
the navy had ordered the Denver to
another port, anti-American feeling was
running so strong that her orders were
countermanded and she remained to pro
tect Americans and other foreigners.
A full report of the investigation of
the affairs by Admiral Cowles will reach
the navy department shortly and what
is to be done about the latest attack
F then will be decided.

SMITH BILL MAY GET
CONSIDERATION SOON
WASHINGTON, April 14.—The com
mittee selected In Chicago yesterday
to urge upon President Wilson the es
tablishment of a federal bureau of mar
kets is expected to secure attention
during the present session of congress
for bills now pending to create the
proposed ne wdivision in the agricultu
ral department. Hoke Smith has again
introduced the bill which has twice
passed the senate but which was
finally lost last session when a confer
ence committee dropped it from the
agricultural appropriation bill.

manent division for the gathering and

commercial marketing methods. The
start toward this end was made in the
last congress when an appropriation
of $50,000 was secured for the pur

Employes in Steel
Industry Work on
Seven Days Per Week
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 14.—Fifteen per
cent of the employes in the iron and
steel industry, as a whole, and more
than 50 per cent of the blast furnace
workmen work seven days a week, an
investigation of the bureau of labor dis
closes. Commissioner Neill today made
public the third volume of the bureau’s
investigation dealing with working con
ditions and the relations of employers
and workmen.
The report states that since 1910,
when the main investigation was made
and when the normal working day for
the majority of steel workers was
twelve hours long, with practically 30
per cent of the entire force regularly
working seven days per week, a number
of steel companies have put into effect
various plans by which none of their
employes are required or permitted to
work more than six days a week.
Between 40 and 50 per cent of the
employes formerly working seven days
per week have been affected by these
arrangements, but 15 per cent still work
each day in the week.
