SENATOR SMITH WOULD
LET PRESIDENT FIX DOTY
L TELL
OF
Would Give President Power
to Proclaim Necessary
Countervailing Duties
BY XAL7S SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 80.—A
plan for a general system of counter
vailing duties to enforce equal treat
ment for the products of the United
States in foreign’markets is being ad
vocated by Senator Hoke Smith before
the Democratic caucus which is consid
ering the tariff bill.
Mr. Smith's plan is to give the pres
ident authority to proclaim counter
vailing duties whenever in his judge
ment such action is necessary to pro
tect the products of the United States
against discrimination by foreign coun
tries. The counter-vailing duty is a
duty equal to the one imposed by any
foreign country against the like pro
duct when exported to that country
from the United States.
The subject came up yesterday in the
caucus in connection with the proposed
counter-vailing duty on wheat and flour.
It l*ed to much discussion. Senator
Smith made an earnest speech in which
he outlined his plans#
The matter came up again today
when Senator O’Gorman offerd an
amendment which embodies many of
the features of Senator Smith’s plans,
but after some debate the subject went
over and will be taken up again * when
the administrative features of the tar
iff bill are considered. This will be
probably the middle of next week.
Senator Smith will probably offer an
amendment as a. substitute for the
clause in the administrative section of
the bill, which, as it now stands, au
thorizes the president to impose certain
specific retaliatory duties on certain
articles against countries that discrim
inate against the United States.
AH amendments to the agricultural
schedule of the new tariff proposed by
Democrats of the senate finance com
mittee were approved today by the cau
cus, including the countervailing duty
on wheat and flour.
The finance committee later may rec
ommend enlargement of its proposed
amendment directing the president to
proclaim countervailing duties on cer
tain commodities when discrimination
by other nations is disclosed.
For suggested changes the amend
ment to compel payment of full rev
enue duty on brandies used in fortify-
ingsweet wines was returned to thefi-
nance committee. Opposition to the
the proposal was aroused among Cali
fornia wine producers.
ALBANY POLICEMAN SHOT
TO DEATH BY STRANGER
(By Associated Press.)
ALBANY, Ga., June 30.—Policeman
E. P. Harris was shot and killed here
last night by an unidentified white man
who arrived here on the Atlantic Coast
Line train at 10:10 o’clock.
Conductor Walter Moore thought the
man acted suspiciously and believed
that he was one of the desperate gang
‘ that has been robbing Coast Line trains
of late. Moore told Harris of the mat
ter and the conductor and policeman
jumped into a hack and drove up town.
In front of the St. Nicholas hotel they
found the man. Haris arrested him and
the stranger put up a fight, got posses
sion of the policeman’s club and ther.
whipped out a revolver and shot the
policeman. The latter with a bullet
through his body fired twice at the
fleeing man. One bullet, it is believed,
took effect.

Deepest of Probes Will' Be
Carried on by Senate Lobby
Investigating Committee .
fry.. /\ ■p ; j. or , ,
WASHINGTON, June 80.—Supoonae
will be iaeued by the aenate lobby In
vestigating committee for Lewis Casa
Ledyard and Paul D. Cravath, New York
attorneys, and for David Lamar, a Wall
street man, to appear next week in con
nection with its investigation of the
charge that names of congressmen are
being used to secure influence with
financial men.
Mr. Ledyard and Mr. Cravath are un
derstood to have additional information
that they are willing to give the com
mittee. Both were referred to by Rob
ert S. Lovett, chairman of the board of
the Union Pacific, as having been recip
ients of mysterious telephone calls that
purported to come from congressmen.
The story told the lobby committee
last night by A. Mitchell Palmer, of
Pennsylvania, has astonished congres
sional circles and resulted in a demand
from many quarters that the senate
committee use every effort to find the
men responsible.
Mr. Palmer testified that Lewis Cass
Ledward had been called repeatedly by
a man who represented himself as Mr.
Palmer. The attorney took the pre
caution to learn that Mr. Palmer was
not in New York, however, and then
kept the congressman informed of de
velopments until evidence had been se
cured, strongly indicating whom the
calls came from.
"We will go to the bottom of this
thing,” said Chairman Overman, of the
senate committee, today. "Mr. Ledyard,
Mr. Cravath and Mr. Lamar will be
first asked to appear, and others ma.y be
called later.”
The committee will resume its hear
ings next wek. Speaker Clark, Repre
sentative Underwood, Representative
Henry and others whose names were
used by the persons in conversation
with financial men are urging the com
mittee to push its inquiry.
Representatives Palmer and Riorden
are the only congressmen whose names
nave thus far been given as having
oeen impersonated over the telephone.

ROAD IS NOT CONFIRMED
NEW YORK. June 30.—Speyer & Co M
and other banking houses familiar with
affairs of the National Railways of
Mexico, were unable to confirm today
the report that a receiver has been

for taking such action from the point
of view of the road's finances, as all
its obligations had been met.

Judge William T. Newman, the resigna
tion to take effect June 30. Judge
Newman has not announced the name
of Mr. Colquitt’s successor in the of

Vast Fortune for Girl
If She Releases Right
To Pick Her Husband
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, June 30.—Unler the
terms of the will of Mrs. Caroline Cut-
terfleld, who died here a year ago, her
fortune appraised yesterday at $1,947,-
112, will go to her grand-daughter,
Miss Crothan Ballard Smith, aged
twenty, provided the young woman does
not marry either o ftwo young men
specifically mentioned and submits her
utimate choice of a husband to a board
of five persons, named in the will, for
approval.
The pretty young heiress loses the
fortune if she marries, either of the
two sons of the former Mrs. Eleanor
Phelps McKeague, now the widow of
Henry Sedley, with whom Mrs. Cutter-
field had a disagreement some years
ago. In any event however, the young
woman will some day come into own
ership of her grandfather’s estate,
which is nearly equal to that which the
grandmother leaves conditionally. The
heiress has not seen the two Sedley
boys si*nce she was seven years old
when they were neighbors.

Principles of Plan Agreed On
by Attorney General and U.
P, Attorneys in Harmony
With President's View
CAUCUS VOTES
NO WOOL ON FREE LIST
After Lengthy Discussion, the
Amendment to Transfer
Woolen Goods Is Lost
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. June 30.—Attorney
General McReynolds and representatives
of the Union Pacific, it was definitely
learned today, have reached an agree
ment for the dissolution of the great
Harriman merger. The principles of
the plan are in harmony with the views
of President Wilson and he is expected
to approve. It will be submitted Mon
day to the judges of the United States
court for the eighth circuit at St.
Paul.
The plan will go to the court with
the government’s approval, qualified
only by a request that the judges give
a limited time before entering a final
decree, during which the government
may possibly make * objections which
cannot now be foreseen. Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds does not expect to go
to St. Paul, but will send G. Carroll
Todd, special assistant, who has been
associated in the negotiations.
WHAT PLAN PROVIDES.
Attorney General McReynolds today
said he was not ready to discuss the sit
uation or details. It is understood, how
ever, that the plan will provide for ex
changing $38,000,000 of Southern Pa
cific stock held by Union Pacific for
Pennsylvania's interest in Baltimore and
Ohio, and the sale of the remaining
$88,000,000 of Southern Pacific through
the medium of a trust company under
such safeguards as will end control of
the Southern Pacific by either the Union
Pacific or its shareholders. /
Officials today declared that President
Wilson and Attorhey General McRey
nolds had been in perfec t accord all
aiong to reach an agreement for the dis
solution, provided a plan could be
evolved that would meet the demands of
the Sherman law. The government
takes the precaution of asking for a lim
ited time within which to make objec
tions, so that in case public discussion
of the proposition and further study by
officials shows any weaknesses, the
hands of the administration will not be
tied.
OTHER PROCEEDINGS LATER.
It is generally understood, that, apart
from the dissolution, the attorney gen
eral later will begin proceedings under
the Sherman law to separate the Central
Pacific from the Southern Pacific. The
supreme court did not decide that ques
tion in the Union Pacific case but held
that nothing in its mandate should pre
judice future atempts by negotiations
or litigation to sever the Central Pacific
from its parent.
The proposal by which the Union Pa
cific would give $38,000,000 of its hold
ings in Southern Pacific to the Pennsyl
vania for the latter’s interest in the Bal
timore and Ohio is favorably regarded
and today’s consideration related pri
marily to the suggestion of placing the
remaining $88,000,000 of Southern Pacif
ic stocks in the hands of a trust com
pany to be sold within a reasonable
time and under such conditions as will
prevent the shareholders of Jhe Union
Pacific from acquiring any substantial
propefration of the Southern Pacific.
The government has contended and
the supreme court has sustained the
contention that no adequate dissolution
can be accomplished simply by a trans
fer of the ownership of any great block
of Southern Pacific from the Union Pa
cific railroad company to the stockhold
ers of that corporation.

WASHINGTON. June 30.—Lively dis
cussions developed today in the senate
caucus over the rate on manufactures of
wool. Woolen cloth, dutiable in the bill at
25 per cent ad valorem, and‘stockings at
20 per cent, were among items which
some senators declared should enter
free of duty to aid in reducing the cost
of living.
Senator Ashurst brought the debate to
a climax with an amendment to trans
fer to the free list all woolen manufac
tures. such as blankets, cloth, ready
made clothing, stockings and the like.
The amendment was debated until 1
o’clock when all proposals to place any
woolen manufactured goods on the free
list were voted down. No record vote
was taken.
The action of the caucus last night
in putting cotton thread on the free list
was not reopened and no further ob
jection to the change is expected.

(Special Cable to The Journal.)
PARIS.—The Dowager Queen Natha
lie of Servia, as the heir of her son, is
being sued in Paris by Mme. Rous-
selot, the daughter of a doctor, for
$6,160, a sum which the latter claims
are due to tier father for his attend
ance on the murdered Queen Draga of
Servia.
Mme. Rousselot’s case is that her
father, Dr. Cautel, was called to Bel
grade to attend the queen; that he re
mained there six days, and received an
honorarium of $1,200, or $200 per day;
that next ’year he received an urgent
telegram requesting his presence in
Servia; that he left that evening with
an assistant, and remained in attend
ance on the queen for twenty-eight
days.
His bill of $6,160—$200 a day for
himself and $20 for his assistant—
was. though repeatedly claimed, never
paid. Mrs. Rousselot further asserts
that Queen Nathalie promised to settle
the bill, but has failed to keep her
promise. x
The aueen denies that she is or has
ever been domiciled in the legal sense
at Paris, and argues that, as It Is a
Servian heritage that is in question,
the claim should have been lodged be
fore the courts of Belgrade.

TRIBUTE TO
IT
Senator Lewis Contrasts Pres
ent Conditions With Those
of Buchanan’s Days
THIEVES ROB
IT
(By Associated Press.)
BRANDON, Vt., June 30.—Senator
James Hamiton Lewis, of Ilinois.
speaking at the unveiling today of a
statue of Stephen A. Douglas, referred
to President Wilson’s relations with the
senate and compared them with condi
tions when President Buchanan and
Senator Douglas joined issues. He
said in part;
"Senator Douglas signaled . his en
trance to the United States senate by
a break with the president of the.
United States—James Buchanan. Doug
las demanded the distribution of pub
lic offices in support of his policies.
President Buchanan differed from Doug
las and permitted the patronage to be
used against Douglas.
‘President Wilson presents the oppo
site attitude. He puts the public good
above the public office, and declines
either to give out offices to senators
as compensation for their support, or
to penalize those who oppose him by
denying them public patronage. Buch
anan went to defeat in trying to re
taliate upon senators who opposed his
policies and went to political disgrace
in trying to destroy senators because
they would not support his policies.
“President Wilson is attempting to
inaugurate the system that James
Monroe put into effect with success
in the ‘era of good feeling,’ in 1823, and
seeks to emulate the course of George
Washington in recognizing no party
organization as having any right to
urge its existence as a mere agency of
political offices. James Buchanan was
on trial under the assaults of Douglas
to test whether the doctrine of retalia
tion upon senators could succeed. It
failed.
"President Wilson declines to’ allow
his personality to be put on trial, but
under exactly similar conditions as
surrounded Buchanan on the slavery
and admission of new states issue's,
President Wilson with his currency and
tariff policies is putting the country to
test.” \
Brandon is Douglas’ birthplace.
Muscogee County and City Of
fices Ransacked-No Valu
able* Records Missing
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBUS, Ga., June 30.—Mayor
Chappell, Chief of Police Moore, Sheriff
Beard and the entire police department,
as well as the county authorities, are
baffled at the mysterious robbery of
practically all the offices at the Musco
gee county court house, including the
offices of the city clerk and treasurer.
All have been working on the case, but
it is stated that not a straw of evi
dence or even the slightest clue to the
bold burglars has been found.
The fact that the court house is lo
cated directly in front of"the police
headquarters, where large numbers of
blue coats can be seen at all hours of
the day and night, made the robbery
seem all the more bold and daring.
Armed, apparently with an auger, a
small saw, a screwdrifer, a chissel and
hammer, the burglars broke into every
office, including that of the county
sheriff, solicitor general, judge of the
superior court, ransacking all desk
drawers, leaving nothing undisturbed,
with the exception of $9 the Columbus
Ledger’s free ice fund for the poor-sick
of the city, which was in a small box in
the possession of the city treasurer,
who acted as distributor. This was
left by the thieves, who evidently had a
tender spot in their hearts for the
poor.

LEECHBURG, Pa., June 30.—Ten per

Clears Skin of
Worst Eruptions
Remarkable Action of a Rem
edy That Drives Every
Speck of Poison From
Body.
There is a strange, mysterious power
In a remarkable blood medicine that finds
its way through the circulation by what
is known as Divine selection. The rem
edy is Swift’s Sure Specific, or S. S. S.
Science cannot explain just why cer
tain elements in the blood feed the bones,
others nourish the hair roots, and so on.
And it is this same mysterious action of
S. S. S. that attacks all diseased spots,
drives away all germs, heals all sore3
and supplants the activity of disease
germs with the powerful healing action !
of leucocytes. Remarkable testimonials ;
have been written that prove beyond !
question there is no blood disease but
what can be cured by S. S. S. And in
all those cases that were treated with
mercury, iodides, arsenic, coppeb and
other minerals with no permanent effect,
the most astonishing recoveries have
been made by S. S. S.
There Is not a blood taint of any na
ture that can remain in a system forti
fied by this most wonderful remedy, for
it is absolutely pure and contains only
those elements that the blood naturally
assimilates, and which the tissues grate
fully accept. It agrees- with the most
delicate stomach, even in those cases
where the* use of strong drugs has so
weakened the digestive system that med
icine cannot be given. Get a $1.00 bottle
of S. S. S. at any drug store and thus be
assured of a complete cure of any erup
tive blood disease. If your case is pe
culiar and you desire special advice write
