OVER TARIFF BILL
UNLESS ASSEMBLY ORDERS AN
EARLY ELECTION, SENA TOR BACON
WILL LAPSE IN HIS SERVICE
House Seems Inclined to Even
More Radical Measure,
While Senate Will Oppose
Such Extreme Cuts
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12.—
Rumblings of discord among the Demo
crats of the senate over the tariff bill
were given color today by well au
thenticated reports that certain south
ern and western senators are plotting
a number of trades that may imperil
the entire revenue measure. The acid
test is being applied to the provisions
cf the bill by thl Democrat caucus of
the house and the finance committee
Democrats of the senate.
It is evident that the house inclines
tc an even more radical measure than
has been prepared by the ways and
means committee, and there is no rea
son to believe that the senate leaders
doubt the wisdom of such radical cuts
as are proposed in certain features of
the measure.
HARDWICK LOSES FIGHT.
Congressman Hardwick, of Georgia
lost a fight in the house caucus
for a straight free sugar provision, to
become effective immediately the bill
l '"^oraes a law.
The finance committee Democrats of
the senate have made about as much
headway in their consideration of the
measure in detail as has the house
caucus. There is little dissention in
the Committee over the diffeernt items
but there is a feeling of apprehension
as to the effect of the legislation upon
the industrial development of the na
tion and the political fortunes of the
Democratic party.
MAY CONSULT WILSON.
As a result of their apprehension, it
is not unlikely that they will call Pres
ident Wilson into another conference
and point out to him what they be
lieve ,to be some of the dangerous fea
tures of the measure. If, after hear
ing their criticism of some of the cuts,
the president insists upon his pro
gram, it is probable that they will, as
a whole, do as they did in the house,
hoping that the president’s position
will be vindicated by the future course
or events.
The senate leaders, in consequence of
*:l.oir previous conference with the presi
dent, feel assured that he is not dis-
?c sd to advocate legislation which will
nave injurious effects upon the indus-
:iial stability of the nation. They be-
ieve that he is controlled entirely by a
lesire to redeem the party promise and,
it the same time, preserve to the coun-
:ry, the prosperity which it is enjoying.
It is the belief of the senators that
ahile there should be no hesitation
il*out downward revision, the reductions
•hould be made in homeopathic doses
ind, thus, ultimately, reach the level
•ought to be attained in the house bill.
They fear that the patient will succumb
f the operation is too radical.
SUGAR SCHEDULE UPHELD.
Immediate free sugar was rejected to-
3ay by the house Democratic caucus by
m overwhelming vote, after an appeal of
Democratic leaders to stand by the presi
dent and the ways and means commit
tee.
This leaves the sugar schedule un-
:hanged from the compromise form in
which it was presented to the caucus
oy Chairman Underwood and his col
eagues of the committee, after confer
ences betmeen the White House and
ieaders of both houses of congress.
The Democratic members of the com
mittee including such free traders as
Representatives Harrison of New York,
ind Rainey of Illinois, stood as a unit
for the three-year gradual reduction to
a. free sugar basis.
Besides this action the' caucus left
Dpen the exact date when sugar would
?o on the free list in 1916. An amend
ment proposed by Representative Hard
wick of Georgia, proposed that the time
It should take effect should be May 1.
1916, so as to be effective before the
beginning of the canning season. The
caucus agreed to leave the matter to
be brought up by the ways and means
committee after all the rest of the tariff
bill has been disposed of in caucus.
39 FOR IMMEDIATE FREE SUGAR
The overthrow' of the immediate sugar
irguments and the amendment propos-
irguments ami the amendment propos
ing that sugar should become free with
the operation of the new tariff law was
made by Representative Hardwick. It
precipitated the real fight of the day and
was lost by a vote of 155 to 39.
After the schedule had bee/i assailed
for hours-by the proponents of the sugar
Unless the Georgia legislature calls
a special election for United States
senator, to be held early enough in the
summer for all returns to be counted
and an election declared before the gen
eral assembly adjourns, the state of
Georgia will automatically find itself
with a vacant seat in the senate, with
out the chairmanship of the foreign re-
latons committee, and Senator .-k. O.
Bacon will lose his position of seniori
ty ip the Georgia delegation.
This startling situation arises out of
the notification of the constitutional
amendment for the popular election of
United States senators, and through it
S'nator Bacon, already the people’s
choice, is placed in a position that only
the legislature can remedy.
‘‘The situation is one that calls im
peratively for action by the legislature
immediately after it convenes,” is t*»e
emphatic assertion of W. J. Harris, of
Atlanta, chairman of the Democratic
state executive committee.
‘‘Unless the legislature does act at
once after it convenes, the time will
be too short for notice to be given' of
an election and for the reception and
confirmation of the returns of that
election by itself before it adjourns.
And if it adjourns without having giv
en lawful credentials to Senator Bacon,
the situation will be complicated in
deed, and the state no less than the
senator himself will suffer conse
quences that could have been averted
easily.”
It will b e recalled that Senator Ba
con’s te»m of office expired on March
4. However, since he had been renom
inated in the primary of last October,
Governor Brown appointed him to con
tinue serving -until the legislature
could rheet and formally designate a
senator, in this way expecting to- con
tinue Senator Bacon’s service without
a break. His election by the legisla
ture would, of course, have been only
planters in Louisina and the beet sugar
growers, Chairman Underwood vigorous
ly defended.the proposed rates! In his
speech to the caucus he pleaded strongly
for a united party in support of the
bill as presented and he emphatically
asserted that sugar adjustment suggest
ed by President Wilson was a most
equitable one.
‘‘We will concede,” said Mr. Under
wood, agreeing with some of the oppo
nents of the bill, ‘‘that immediate free
sugar would put the domestic planter
out of business. But we assert also that
free sugar in three years will destroy
no legitimate industry.
Not only are the senators fearful
concerning the effect of the proposed
revision on the industrial* progress of
the nation. They feel even more ap
prehensive as regards its effects on the
political fortunes of the administra
tion, and tl}e party generally.
NO ISSUE ON FREE SUGAR.
"There is no issue of free sugar.. On
this the president of the United States
and the majority of the Democratic
side of this house are agreed. The
ways and means committee stands, ab
solutely with the president. We are
for the bill as it stands, without dis
sension, without division. Sugar will
be free. The only question is when it
shall be free, nor or to be reduced this
year and ne^t year and next year and
then free. We ask you, by your votes,
not to defeat the administration.”
Representative Dupree 1 of Louisiana,
replying to Mr. Underwood, challenged a
statement made by the majority leader
that free sugar ultimately would save
the consumer $115,000,000 annually.. Mr.
Dupree declared that if the entire saving
that would follow free sugar fell upon
the consumer, the per capital saving per
day would be only one-third of a cent.
“As a matter of fact.” Mr. Dupree de
clared, ‘‘only one-third of this saving
will be realized by the consumer. That
means only one-ninth of a cent per cap
ita and for this the committee is willing
to annirilate an industry.”
UNDERWOOD TURNED TRICK.
If theer had been any doubt about the
result of the fight during the day, it
had disappeared after Mr. Underwood
had concluded his presentation of the
situation and the members were gettting
anxious to vote before Mr. Dupree con
cluded. When the Hardwick amendment
was finally brought up the result was
overwhelming. ,
The caucus quickly disposed of the to
bacco schedule without any change and
will take up the agriculture schedule on
Monday when consideration of the bill
will be resumed at 1:30 p. m., Several
fights lie ahead in this schedule. Citrus
fruits and flour are at issue among the
Democrats.
The senate finance committee Demo
crats had a two-hour meeting today and
continued their discussion of the earth
enware and glass schedules. They did
not finish, but will take up the same
schedules at a meeting Monday.

RALEIGH, N. C., April 11.—Joe
Motzno, placed on trial at Goldsboro
Thursday charged with shooting and
killing his father, David Motzno. ten
days ago, admitted the killing, but
swore he shot in defense of himself
and his mother, claiming his father was
attempting to attack her in a cruel
manner when the son interposed.
Many testified to the good character
of the defendant and declared the de
ceased was a. man of violent temper
and treated his family harshly.
NOW. NO JOKE, THIS IS
A HEAL BIG QUESTION
ME WHO TO FLEE
a formality, since he had already re
ceived th e nomination in the primary.
The constitutional amendment, how
ever, takes the election of United States
senators from the legislators, placing it
in the hands of the people. Since Sena
tor Bacon is now serving an ad in
terim term, his office would expire
automatically with the adjournment
of the legislature. Even if the elec
tion were held late in the session, he
might lose his seat temporarily be
cause the returns were not in.
It is the opinion of leading Georgia
Democrats that it is imperative that
the legislature therefore call a spe
cial election soon after the session
opens.
It is printed out that the election
is cnlv a ?natter of the people ratify
ing their choice of last October. Since
Senator Bacon is already the Demo
cratic nominee, he could be opposed
in this election by no member of the
party.
If the election were deferred it would
rfiean that the chair of Georgia’s senior
senator would be vacated, his term of
office broken, and his important po
sition as chairman of the foreign rela
tions ■« committee lost It would be
necessary for Senator Bacon to pre
sent new credentials and have them
passed on before he could obtain again
a seat in the senate. He would have to
occupy then the position of junoir
senator because of a break in service
even^ though it might last only a few
weeks.
It is felt by leading Democrats that
the legislature will readily see the im
portance of railing the special elec
tion immedlcYely and that this will be
one of its fjrst acts.
Temper of American People

President Thomas Marshall
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK. April 12.—Vice Presi
dent Marshall served xvarning tonight
on men of vast wealth and on "spe
cial privilege” that the temper of the
American people had reached a point
where it no longer would brook op
pression. Ho told the members of the
National Democratic club that the
spirit of unrest was suen that ui*»
less reckoned with the institutions os
the government might be jeopardized
and the country revert to paternalism
or turn to Socialism.
"Current opinion holds, justly or
unjustly,” he said, "that the welfare of
the people of this country depends not
a little upon the conduct of certain
men in this city of »w York. I have
concluded,, therefore, to ‘beard the lion
in his den’ in the hope that he may
hear.

SECOND TRIAL BRINGS
BIGGER VERDICT
DALTON, Ga., April 14.—The case of
Mrs. S. M. Maynard against the Western
and Atlantic road, sent back for trial
by the supreme court, resulted in an
other victory for the plaintiff, she be
ing last night awarded a verdict for
$2,500. In the first trial she received a
verdict for $2,260.
The case grew out of the big fire
which came near wiping out the little
town of Tilton, south of here, several
years ago. The plaintiff alleged that
the fire was started by sparks from a
passing train. Five other cases of a.
similar character were brought by peo
ple who lost in the fire.

NAMING OF POSTMASTERS
IS PROGRESSING MERRILY
WASHINGTON, AOpril 14.—President
Wilson and Postmaster General Burle
son made rapid inroads today in the se
lection of postmasters. The choice of
F. S. Myers as postmaster at Portland,
Ore., and Sherlock Swann at Baltimore,
were the only selections that became
known. Mr. Swann came out openly re
cently for William L. Marbury, who is
opposing the renomination of Senator
John Walter Smith. Though President
Wilson has not expressed himself in
the Maryland senatorial contest, the
appointment of Swann is taken as mean
ing that in this case, at least, he has
leaned toward the Marbury faction. Mr.
Swann’s opponent had the backing of or-
ganziations supporting Senator Smith’s
candidacy.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DALTON, Ga., April 14.—The street

interrupted the morning session of court
at 11:30 o’clock, court adjourning to
meet again in the afternoon.
When the band music struck up near
the court house, Attorney M. C. Tarver
requested that Judge Fite order a ’<?-•
cess until afternoon, in order to permit
all to see the parade. Right at the time,
there was a lull in the business, and
Judge Fite, with a •smile, granted the
order. Court adpjourned Friday after
noon to meet again Monday morning to
take up the criminal docket..
SAYS HE KILLED FATHER
TO SAVE HIS MOTHER
WASHINGTON, April 12.—Somebody
in White Salmon, Ore., has a neighbor;
the neighbor has chickens; the ehickens
stray into somebody’s front yard; some
body is annoyed and the chickens are in
peril; therefore, will the supreme court
rule on it?
"Present advantage shuts our eyes
to the permanency of our institutions.
Not what we are nor what we stand
for, but what we can make lias cume
to be the measure of governmental
duty and individual conduct. And yet,
despite this theory of life, Carl .Marx
and hunger and a longing for happi
ness are abroad in the land. They are
sitting as unknown guests at every
frugal meal. They are perturbing the
waking hours and coloring me dreams
of millions of Americans who, after
all, have the right to say what shan
or shall not be.”
SOURCE OF DISCONTENT.
The vice president declared his
warning was the result of observation
of conditions in twenty-seven northern
states during the recent presidential
campaign. Swollen fortunes and the
accumulation of great wealth through
governmental privileges granted, ne
held, had much to do wiui the discon
tent.
"Along with general prosperity has
come a marvelous piling-up of colossal
private fortunes. Notwithstanding
charges against me, that I have free
ly assaulted the possessors of these
fortunes, I know in my heart that
such a view of my public utterances is
a mistaken one. My assaults, if I have
made any, have not been directed at
the possessors of the fortunes, but at
the principles of government which
contributed, directly or indirectly, to
the accumulation of fortunes. The
piling-up of colossal fortunes, supple
mented by a general discussion of
knowledge, has made large bodies oi
people restive.
MORE EQUALITY WANTED.
"The desire of the people is for
greater equality of opportunity and en
joyment. More and more, men are com
ing to the belief that Socialism alone
will open up and guarantee this equal
ity. If I were the possessor of a vas%
and growing fortune and had made up
my mind that the government should
continue to help me make it grow, or u
I were a Socialist, I would frown
down upon the educational system of
America.
"Have backward-looking and inward
looking men ever stopped to consider
what might' happen to them here in
the great state of New York, if those,
who have not, should take it into their
heads to make common cause againsv
those who have? They talk about
vested rights and in their talks as
sume they have both an inherent and
constitutional right to pass tneir prop
erty down from generation to gener
ation until some reckless descendant
shall have dissipated it. Suppose a
governor and a general assembly in the
state of New York should repeal the
statute of descents for real and per
sonal property and the statute with ref
erence to the making of wills, on their
death how much vested interest would
any relative have in the property
which fell front their nerveless hands
at the hour of dissolution? The right
to inherit and the right to devise are
neither inherent nor constitutional, but
upon the contrary, they are simply
privileges given by the state to its
citizens.
THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE.
"Let backward-looking and inward
looking men read the returns of the last
election. Let them put on masks, go
down into the east side and hear what
people are saying about them. Let
them not close their eyes and dream
that what has been, forever will be. All
that a man hath will he give for this
life, and he is not wise who, having
plenty, risks it all to get a little more.
"The belief that there is an unequal
distribution of wealth in this country
has been supplemented by the belief
that much of it has been obtained
through special privileges, that it did
not come by labor, skill, industry, barter
or trade, but through watered stocks
and bonds, through corners on commo
dities, through corruption of legisla
tures, through the sale of impure food
stuffs. through wrecking railroads,
through all the devices known to man
whereby the law is not abrogated, but
chloroformed.”
RAPS PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
Mr. Marshall assailed the protective
tariff as one of the principal causes for
concentration of wealth, and declared
that the protection of commodities had
resulted “in free trade in conscience.”
"Let those who started,” he said, "and
are keeping up this theory of especial
privilege which finds its root, its sap
and vigor in prohibitive duties, believe
me when I say that a change has come
across the spirit of the republic. Be not
deceived. Our justice is ceasing to be
perpendicular and is beginning to be
horizontal. Men are refusing longer to
look up that favors may be handed
down to them and are beginning to look
around to see how mutual benefits may
come to them. Wake up. my brother;
be contented with that which thou hast
gotten. Yield a little that thou mayst
save much.
“The backward-looking and inward
looking men may be able temporarily to
check the onward movement of the for
ward-looking men, but if they do it will
be an unwise interference, and may re
sult either in a paternalistic system of
government which can only endure upon
bases of ignorance and serfdom or in a
socialistic system which will destroy
both the opportunity and the desire of
the man to exercise in the fullest
capacity his natural and acquired en
dowments.”
Mr. Marshall called on his hearers to
support President Wilson in his policies
"that the individualistic democracy of
Thomas Jefferson may not be destroyed.”.
Breaking of Levee Causes Re
lief on Dikes at Vicksburg,
No Loss of Life Yet
(3y Associated Press.)
MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 14—Some lit
tle relief was given the residents and
levee workers on the eastern side of the
Mississippi river early today when a
crevasse occurred in an old stretch of
dikes alon gthe Arkansas river, in the
vicinity of Red Fork, at a point about
40 miles from the mouth of the Arkansas
river.
The overflow will cover a stretch of
country extending as far south as Lake
Village and including the small towns
of Lake Jefferson. Rose Mary, Kelso,
Macarthur and McGee.
According to river statisticians, this
break will serve to decrease the stage
of water from the flood-laden Arkan
sas river, thus relieving the pressure on
the Mississippi side of the river, partic
ularly in the neighborhood of Vicksburg.
To what extent this will relieve the
conditions there could not be determined
today.
Encouraging conditions were report
ed again today, from Memphis northward.
At Memphis the gauge read 44.1, or a
fall of six-tenehts in the past 24 hours.
Helena reported 53.7 and stationary,
while Vicksburg shows 57.9, a rise of
six-tenths.
The center of the flood fight has been
shifted from the north to a section be
low Memphis. The city of Helena is
caring for its own levees and today re
ported the embankments in satisfactory
condition.
Relief work in the overflowed areas of
Arkansas is being pushed by committees
from Memphis, aided by Arkansas citi
zens. Scores of refugees, driven from
their homes by the Wilson breaks, were
reported to have refused to leave the
places of refuge for the camp at Mem
phis, but boat-loads continued to arrive
here today.
Georgian Trailed
Across Continent
By His Gold Teeth
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. April 14.—A
man with five golden teeth smiled on
North Broadway this morning and ten
minutes later the smile faded, an tarns-
continental chase had ended and Thom
as McMinn, aged twenty-two, wanted in
Roberta, Ga., for running over a little
seven-year-old girl with a motorcycle,
was 1 in custody after being a fugitive
from justice for five months.
The two deputies had recognized the
smile as the same shown in a picture
from the Roberta police. "I’m the man
wanted,” he said. "Ever since the ac
cident I imagined that every person
who looked at me was about to declare,
‘There is the guilty man,’ I want to
make amends for killing an innocent
girl and will gladly return to Rober
ta.”
Sing Sing for Cop
Who Wouldn’t Squeal
NEW YOR, April 14.—John J. Har-
tigan, the policeman who wouldn’t
"squeal” went to Sing Sing today to
serve three years for perjuring himself
to shield higher police officers accused
of graft. Hartigan was the first mem
ber of the police force punished in
connection with the crusade against
levying tribute on protetced vice.
His trial, his sentence and finally bis
trip to prison, were delayed in the
hope that he would seek to lighten his
punishment by a confession. The dis
trict attorney declared the police ‘’sys
tem” paid Hartigan $25,000 for his si
lence.

BULL MOOSE PAPER OPPOSES •
W. J. HARRIS’ APPOINTMENT AS
DIRECTOR OF U. S. CENSUS!
Washington Times,, in Editorial Lauding Durand, Insin
uates Harris' Appointment Is Based on Fact That He
Is Chairman of State Executive Committee
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, April 14.—Confirming
the report that a movement is on foot
to delay and, if possible defeat, the ap
pointment of William J. Harris as direc
tor of the census, the Washington Times
this afternoon carries an editorial depre
cating the fact that “the president is
handing out this particular office as a
political reward.”
The Times is a rampant Bull Moose
newspaper, and, luckily, its attitude is
of little consequence. It was stated at
the White House today that Harris’
nomination would be sent to the senate
next week.
The Times argues that Harris is ap
pointed because he is a state chairman
and was fortunate enough to be one of
the early organizers of Wilson senti
ment in his state.” It is undoubtedly
true that Harris w^is one of the early
organizers of W r ilson sentiment in Geor
gia, but this is incidental to his selection
for the position. He was picked by
Secretary of Commerce Redfield, because
the secretary believed him better quali
fied to discharge the duties than is the
incumbent, E. Dana Durand.
Harris was Indorsed very
by Senator Hoke Smith, and
of the Georgia delegation in
Secretary Redfield, impressed
strength of the indorsements,
investigation on his own account, and
decided that the Georgian was admir
ably fitted for the office.
Here is the Times editorial:
“The chairman of the Democratic
state committee of Georgia will be
named as director of the census.
