8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1913. 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.

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.

CASTOR IA Fgr Infants and Children. The Kind Yen Have Always Sought WALTER COLQUITT QUITS US II. s. Atlanta Lawyer Resigns Im portant Court Job-Successor Not Indicated Walter T.

Vast Fortune for Girl If She Releases Right To Pick Her Husband (By Associated Press.)

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.

RESTRICTED DISTRICT IN BIRMINGHAM DOOMED BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. June 30.—Birm Ingham’s restricted district is doomed to go October 1 according to action taken by the city commissioner t<j£ay.

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. (By Associated Press.) 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.

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. FOUR DEATHS WHEN TANK STEAMER BURSTS ASK PROBE OF CHARGES SENATORS OUSTED MARTIN Five Jacksonville Citizens Ask Investigation of Resignation of John W, Martin (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 30.—President Wilson today received a telegram from five citizens of Jacksonville asking in vestigation of a charge that Senator Fletcher and Senator Bryan compelled John W.

Griggs was nominated for the post yesterday and his confirmation by the senate will remove Martin, vrho has refused to get out. • RAFT FERRY SINKS AND SEVERAL ARE DROWNED LEECHBURG, Pa., June 30.—Ten per sons are thought to have been drowned here tonight when a raft ferry carry ing about sixty-five persons went down in the Kiskiminetas river about 11 o’clock. The list of missing, accord ing to the authorities, includes two negroes, several foreigners and two Americans. Five bodies have been recovered. The passengers were being ferried across the river from^Hyde Park, Pa. On approaching Leechburg they made a rush ,it *is claimed, to the forward end of the craft. The excessive weight at the one eqd caused the raft to tip and then shoot its nose under he water. During the excitement which followed several of the passengers jumped into the stream, others fought to retain foothold, and all on board fell Into the water. The five bodies recovered have not yet been identified. A large force of men have been nlisted to drag the river. (By Associated P^ess.) NEW YORK, June 30.—Divers were summoned today to search for bodies in the hold of the Standard Oil tank steamer Mohawk, wrecked late yester day by the explosion of two hundred tons of fuel oil.
