THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1913. 3 DEAF TO APPEAL FI 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.” IWould Free Senate - Of Tobacco Fumse (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 12.—War on Ihe fumes of tobacco in the senate was begun today by Senator Tillman, who introduced a resolution prohibiting smoking in the chamber or the bring ing of a lighted cigar through the sen ate doors.

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.

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.

Russell, of Put nam county, will introduce a blue sky law in the legislature this week similar to the fraudulent land and investment state fraudulent land and investment companies. He declares that the state has been injured by the operation of such concerns and that no company dealing in Florida lands or securities will be allowed to do business unless tney comply with the law. This will kill off a number of companies now handling everglades lan^s on the In stallment plan. , ECZEMA Al s o (Jailed Tetter, Salt Rheum, Pruritus, Milk- Crust, Weeping Skin, etc. ECZEMA CAN BE CURED TO STAY, and when I Hay cured, 1 mean just what I say- CMJ.R-E-D, and not .merely patched up for awhile, to return worse* than before.

Could you do a better act that to send this no nce to some poor sufferer of Eczema?—(Adrt.) 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. MASKED MEN ROUT POSSE AND FLOE THREE BLACKS Rochelle Crowds Enter Jail and Take Out Three Ne gro Prisoners (By Associated Press.) ROCHELLE, Ga., April 14.—Chief of Polic*' Collins and a posse of county deputies were overpowered by a masked mob early today, three negroes, ar rested in connection with the Melvin killing, being taken from mem and severely flogged.

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 RUNAWAY MULES (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

PAlHiST GETS FREE 8? E English Suffragette Leader Has Served Only Nine Days of a Three-Year Term m 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. MEXICAN POLICE KIEL TWO AMERICAN MIDDIES Sailors From U.

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.

The Smith bill would create a per manent division for the gathering and distributon of produce market news and the study of co-operative and commercial marketing methods.

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.
