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. navy.

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 Will l\lo Longer Brook Op pression, Declares Vice 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. American Sailor; Victim in Mexico; Former Atlantian (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 14.—Par ents of William Wallace Corrle, ’form erly of Atlanta, who was killed yester day at Guaymas as a result of a street figrht reside here. The mother is pros trated from the news of her son’s death by a telegram from Washington. Young Corrle joined the navy three years ago as a seaman "with the idea of seeing the world, his mother and father used every effort to prevent the enlisting of their son, hut he could not be dissuaded. Corrle was born in Atlanta, Ga., and came to this city five years ago. For a short time he worked on the Acque- duct and after leaving there joined the (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) GRIFFIN, Ga., April 14—Two mules attache to a dray beca mefrightened this afternoon and ran away. While dashing acr.oss a vacant lot in the rear of Blanton's warehouse, their wild flight was brought to a sudden stop by both animals plunging Into a deep well. When drawn out by ropes neither was very badly hurt. 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. Yesterday three more of the Calhoun wreck cases were settled without going to trial. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Roff and Allen Roff were plain tiff £, all of whom sustained injuries in the wreck of the Calhoun picnic special north of here last year. 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. COURT ENDS SESSION FOR CIRCUS PARADE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALTON, Ga., April 14.—The street parade of a circus showing here Friday 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. TAKES ACT OF CONGRESS TO PERMIT THIS GIFT (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 12.—A watch which the late President Madero, of Mexico, wanted to present to Major Charles B. Hagadorn, Twenty-third United States infantry, is the subject of a bill introduced today by Senator Mc Lean. American officers are forbidden to accept gifts from foreign rulers, except by express consent of congress. The state department is holding the watch in trust.

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. strongly members congress, with the made an “He will succeed a gentleman, who ini charge of the 1910 census, made a rec-| ord of unusual efficiency and economy, I and under whose direction the publi-| cations of the census bureau have been I made much more graphic, attractive,! and practically useful than ever before.! "Perhaps, the chairman of the Geor-| gia state committee is a much better! man for the place. Perhaps he is an! ideally equippped person, as tsatisti-| clan, administrator, and sociologist. "Perhaps, also, he Is appointed be-, cause he is the very best man in the| country for the job. "But we doubt it. "We guess that be is appointed be cause he is a state chairman and was»| fortunate enough to be one of the early! organizers of Wilson sentiment in his| state. "It is a bit disappointing to see Pres ident W T ilson handing out this particu-l lar office as a political reward. The! president is the sort of a man who! would have been expected to take an! especial interest in this office of dlrec-l to r of the census. To tho serious stu-| dent of our presetn day social, Indus-1 trial and political problems, the census! brings a mass of material for consider-1 ation, and digestion. It is of the ut most importance that that material be| gathered and prepared with a full un derstanding of the significant part it is | certain to play. "Perhaps, as has been said, the chair-1 man of a Democratic state committee Is I quite the ideal man for the task. It i»| to be hoped so.” HAYNER BOTTLED-IN-BOND For Only 80 Cents—Express Charges Paid By Us. “SHIPPING TRUST” REPORT MAY BE NEXT DECEMBER (By Associated Press.)
