2 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1913. ♦i 1 SENATE TELLS HOUSE TO 0. K. AMENDMENTS PUSS UP TARIFF Every Effort Being Made to $ Get Bill to Conference With- § out Delay-Senate Action §■ Saves Day's Time (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—The Demo- ^Tcratic tariff revision bill as it passed i^Jhe senate last night, changed in many particulars from the form in which it ggjfcft the house over four months ago, Twvent back to that body today, and to -morrow will find its way into a joint —conference committee where the finish ing touches will be given to it. The senate stole a march upon the house, when immediately after passing the bill if decided to “insist upon its amendments’’ and ask for a conference. TJnder this procedure when the bill went * to the house today there was nothing for * - -the house to do but to accept the amend- % anient or meet the request of the senate v3 for the appointment of a house com- ij. 'xnittee. The move of the senate lead- ^ ers, while formal in character, saved a " day's time in getting the bill into the .joint conference committee. Preliminary conferences within the last two weeks between Representative Underwood and Senator Simmons, the - tariff leaders of the two bodies, have led to an understanding that little time will be consumed in the conference dis- . cussion of the bill. It was predicted tjOday that the measure probably would be ready for the president within ten days. The Democratic tariff revision bill passed the senate at 6:43 * o’clock Tuesday afternoon amid - a burst of applause that ^-'swept down from crowded galleries and ’•v fc found its echo on the crowded floor of ’£3T,the senate. Its passage was attended with sur- * ‘prises in the Anal moments of the vot- when Senator LaFollete, Republic- - an, cast his vote with the Democrats, - and was joined a few moments later V by Senator Poindexter, Progressive. - The Democrats had counted through- V, out the long tariff fight upon losing the ; votes, of Senators Ransdell and Thorn- v ton, of Louisiana, Democrats, who voted e against the bill today because it * would put sugar on the free list. Until the names of Senators LaFol- * lette and Poindexter were actually call- * «d, however, no one knew definitely the | stand they would take, and their votes < were greeted with enthusiastic ap- '% plause. 4 The vote was 44 to 37 in favor of the bill after all amendments had been de- ' feated. ♦p President Wilson tonight expressed . great gratification over the end of the - lcng struggle in the senate. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance com- ' mittee, who had piloted the bill through . the finance committee, the Democratic caucus and the senate, predicted that its passage would bring immediate stimulus to the commercial life of the country. - AVERAGE CUT 28 PER CENT. *> As it passed the senate the tariff bill A ^represents an average reduction of more ^ than 4 per cent from the rates of the original bill that passed the house, and - nearly 28 per cent from the rates of the existing law. In many important places the senate * has changed the bill that passed the ■’ house, and a conference committee of * the two houses will begin work Wednes- - day or Thursday to adjust these differ ences. Leaders of both houses predict that il- the conference will consume less than — two weeks* time. - The senate endeavored today to hasten / the bill on its progress to the White / House by naming its members of the conference committee as soon as the - bill passed. Vice President Marshall appointed Senators Simmons. Storte, Williams and -Johnson, Democrats, and Senators Pen rose, Lodge and La Follette, Republi- — cans, as the Senate conferees. Senator Stone withdrew from the committee and Senator Shiveley was | appointed in his place. The house con* t ferees. it was reported last night, will ! be Representatives Underwood, Kitchin and Rainey, Democrats, and Payne and Fordney, Republicans. Each house will have an equal vote In the conference committee, even though each does not name the sanie number of conferees. HOW SENATE VOTED.

One important change made on the recommendation of the finance coir mittee gives the secretary of the treasury power to censor all imported moving picture films. An amendment by Senator McCumber proposing higher duties on barley, oats, wheat and flax seed, was rejected 48 to 25, and one by Senator LaFollette for a 6-cent duty on wheat was defeated without a roll call. Senator James, acting for the finance committee, secured the adoption of an amendment modifying the provision of the tyll that authorizes the secretary of the treasury and collector of inter nal revenue to employ income tax of ficials, without regard to the civil serv ice laws. The new provision leaves it optional with the officials as to w r hether or not they will take employes from the list of civil service eligibles. RETAINS CHIEF PROVISIONS. The tariff bill as passed retained the principal house’ provisions, including free sugar and free raw wool, but re vised other rates still further down ward. The average ad valorem rate in the bill now is approximately 26 per cent, a decrease of 28 per cent from existing rates and nearly 4 per cent lower than the rates of the house bill. The senate’s additions to the house free list with 1912 as a basis will cost the government more than $44,- 000,000, but by adding a tax of one- tenth of 1 cent a pound on cotton for future delivery, a tax on bananas of one-tenth of 1 per cent a pound; restor ing the requirement of a full Internal revenue tax of $1.10 a gallon on bran dies used to fortify wines and by in creasing the sur-tax rates on large incomes, senate leaders believe they have provided an actual increase. That is a point disputed by Majority Leader Underwood, of the house. HERE ARE MAIN CHANGES. The senate made these other impor tant changes: Lowered the normal exemption from the 1 per cent income tax from $4,000 to $3,000 for single,^ persons, with ex emptions for wives and dependent chil dren: exempted the incomes of mutual insurance companies which revert to the benefit of stockholders; increased grad uate sur-tax on large incomes to a maximum of 6 per cent on those more chan $500,000; exempted incomes of mu nicipalities derived from operation of public utilities and changed the date from which the tax shall be computed for first year from January 1 to March 1, 1913. Free list cattle and other live stock, •vheat, hair of \ the angora goat and some other agricultural products; re stored oatmeal and rolled oats to the dutiable list and provided an elabor ate inspection of meat imports. Reduced house rates on woolen man ufactures to become effective January 1, 1914. SUGAR SCHEDULE. Provided in the sugar schedule for im mediate abolishment of the Dutch stand ard test; postponed operation of pro posed reduced rates until March 1, 1914, leaving the provision unchanged for free sugar in May, 1916. Slightly increased rates on finer cot ton goods, reclassifying the whole cot ton schedule and changing, the silk schedule from an ad valorem to a spe cific basis. Provided for an administrative force to handle income tax collections with out regard to requirements of the civil service. Struck out a # countervailing duty on wood pulp. Greatly reduced rates of the metal schedule. Struck out many reform provisions in the administrative section; rejected the anti-dumping clause; the 5 per cent tariff reduction on imports in American vessels and the requirement for inspec tion of books of foreign manufacture in undervaluation cases; but added a provision giving the president authority to retaliate against nations which dis criminate against American goods by proclaiming increased rates on certain goods; adopted a provision excluding goods manufactured chiefly by child la bor and provided for the creation of a commission to revise the customs laws. Important additions to the free list included: Antimony ore, limestone rock, as phalt, asphaltum and bitumen, fabrics of jute yarns, wool blankets valued at less than 40 cents a 'pound, textbooks, sugar machinery, cast iron pipe, sur gical catgut, cement, creosote oil, de natured alcohol, flax and hemp, furs and fur skins, gunpowder, pig iron, shiegelosen, ferromanganese, wrought iron, iron slabs and blooms, photo graphic mdving picture films, steel in gots! blooms and slabs, cattle and other live stock, wheat, sawed cedar, angora goat and alpaca wool and paper twine for binding wool.* Republican protests against the ap pointment of Senator LaFollette, who voted for the bill, as one of the Repub lican conferees on the measure, brought a declaration today from Senator Sim mons that LaFollette’s action was en tirely fair to the Republiacns. “While Senator LaFollette voted for the tariff bill, he voted against most of the amendments we offered,’’ \said Senator Simmons, “and these amend ments are the subjects which the con ference committee will consider. We do not feel that his presence adds to the Democratic strength on the commit tee, as he has opposed many of the important changes we have made in the bill.’’ The ministers \from Panama, Cqsta Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala, the latter also acting for Honduras, called on President Wilson today to protest against the duty of 1-10 of 1 cent per pound on bananas connected in the new tariff bill. The duty is estimated to produce $2,500,000 annual revenue by a tax too small to be passed along to the consumer, and was a senate amend ment. MYSTERY II DEATH OF Found Floating in Lake Mich igan With Cord Drawn Tight Around Neck CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Friends and neighbors of Mrs. Walter B. Smith, wealthy society woman of Lake Forest, whose body was found yesterday after noon wit ha cord' around the neck in Lake Michigan, today discussed the cir cumstances of her death, and were un able to offer any satisfactory explana tion of the case. The coroner’s in quest late last night failed to throw any light on the mystery. The jury’s verdict gave no theory as to the cause of death. The verdict reads: “We, the jury, find that Florence M. Smith came to her death by drowning in Lake Michigan, off the shore of Lake Forest.’’ Inquiry regarding the actions of Mrs. Smith yesterday revealed that before walking to the lake shore she had seem ed to be in the best of health and spir its. She passed part of the morning playing the piano at her home and sing ing to her six-year-old daughter, ‘Wini fred. Dr. A. C. Haven, physician for the Smith family, said today that Mrs. Smith had enjoyed good health and was not subject to fits of melancholia. Mrs. Smith, who was Florence McCul lough, was married to Walter B. Smith June 6, 1905. She was a granddaughter of Martin Hughitt, former 'president and now chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. Her husband is a wealthy stock and bond broker, the son of Byron L. Sm^h, prominent Chicago banker. DIPLOMATIC SERVICE Shade of Coffin On Bed of Dalton Man Excites Community DALTON, Ga., Sept. 11.—The appear ance of an outline of a large coffin on a sheet covering a bed in the residence of Sam Keitchem, in North Dalton, is vouched for by scores of people living near him, who claim to have seen the phenomenon. According to the grewsome story, the bedclothing was changed, and the room closed up for several oaya. Yesterday, when the room was opened, a perfectly formed outline of a coffin appeared on the top sheet. Neighbors were called in, and they claim that they clearly saw the coffin outline, which gradually grew dimmer and faded out after several hours. • The matter has greatly aroused the people living in that section. GRAND JURY BACKS PROPOSED HIGHWAY CALHOUN, Ga., Sept. 11.—The fall term of the Gordon county superior court which has just adjourned after a two weeks’ session, was one of the busi est In the record of the court. Besides a large number of civil cases there were 127 criminal cases tried and dis posed of. Those were mostly misde meanors.

SEAMAN COMMENDED BY DANIELS FOR BRAVERY WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—E. A.

TOKIO, Sept. 11.—One of the assas- sins of Dir Mortiario Abe, of the Japa nese foreign office, committed suicide today by plunging a sword into his throat. Director Abe was attacked on Septem ber 4 by two men who stabbed him twice in the abdomen. He died the next day. The crime was laid at the d»or of the student element. Administration to Adopt Plan Whereby Appointments Will Be More Open BY RALPH SMITH WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—A plan partially to let down the bars at the entrance of the diplomatic service and liberalize the method of choosing secretaries for legations and embassies, is part of the administration’s policy seeking to make that part of the gov ernment service more democratic than heretofore. „ * 7 ' or first time within the recol lection of those entrusted with the con duct of, the appointment division of the state department, every senator and representative in congress has been noti fied of an examination to be held for applicants for appointment as secretaries in the diplomatic service, and has been requested to make his recommendations to the secretary of state. The exami nation will be held October 20. Ihe departure marks a radical and wholesome change in the method hereto- fore foliowed by the state department in the appointment of persons in the diplomatic corps. Heretofore, when there were vacancies in the service, the examinations—so-called—went by favor, I and only senators and congressmen close to the administration were given an opportunity to certify the names of applicants who desired to stand the test. There was no open competition, and it is charged that even under the destrict- ed system of examinations, the success ful applicants were not always the best fitted. The examination, it is charged, served as a means to an end, and that end was to fill up the service with friends and constituents of influential men in the administration. That, in part, it is contended, accounts for the fact that today, few, if any, Democrats are in the diplomatic service. The ex aminations were restricted to Republi cans, for the most part, and then, under the insidious spoils system—for it was such—the fellow with the influence got the job. THE NEXT EXAMINATION. The next examination, October 20, will be held at the state department, at which time from six to twelve men will be selecteod and placed on the eligible list for two years. If not given an ap pointment within two years, the can didate’s name is dropped from the list and he must take the examination to get back on the list. The men who are to take the examination are designated by the president, usually upon the rec ommendation of members of congress. The new plan of notifying all the con gressmen of the examination will result in bringing before the secretary of state, or to the assistants in charge of the work, a much larger list of recom mendations than under the old plan. This will give a more satisfactory list from which to make designations and will probably result in a longer list of per sons to take the examinations. NOT MANY VACANCIES. There are only a few vacancies in the diplomatic service now, fewer than ten of the total of sixty-four secretaryships in the service being not filled. The total number of offices in the service, including ministers and ambassadors, is 13 0. The demand for places is great always. Dudley Field Malone, third assistant secretary of state, who is ex-officio chairman of the examining board, sent out the letters to the congressmen, no tifying them of the examinations. Al ready many responses and recommenda tions have been received by Mr. Malone. It is stated, officially, that political faith will not be considered either in making designations or i*- placing men on the eligible list. President Taft placed the secretary ships under civil service, but by law all such appointments are subject to confirmation by the senate, so that ul timately the responsibility rests upon the president. He will be guided of course by the recommendations of the state department, and the department in turn, will make its recommendations from the eligible list. ’) 5 OW.'fe", ^TT'NQl™ HB.'lillLL 1 .1 The Biggest Hit” at the Bali Game Every day of the baseball season a thousand ball games are played throughout the United States—and hundreds of thousands of “fans” enjoy “Bull” Durham hand-made cigarettes while they watch the games. “Bull” Durham has become a part of the national game.

DIDN’T KNOW WHATTO DO Pitiful State in Which Mrs. May Found Herself, and How She Escaped OPP, Ala.—In a letter from this town, Mrs. Carrie May writes? as follows: “About two months after I married' I began to have very bad weak spells and terrible headaches. I felt miserable all the time, and soon got to where I couldn’t hardly stay up. After the third month I got down completely. I was young, had never been sick be fore, and I just didn’t know what to do. I thought I would die. My husband, at last, got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and it helped me so, he got another bottle. When I had taken the second bottle 1 was well. I wish that every woman, .suffering from womanly trouble, would give Cardui a trial. It’s is the best medicine on earth for womanly weakness.” Are you weak, tired, worn-out? Do you suffer from any of the pains pe culiar to weak woman? If so, take Cardui. As a remedy for women’s ills, Cardui has been most successful. It is purely vegetable, composed of ingredients which have been found to build up the vitality and strengthen the woman ly constitution, as well as to prevent or relieve those terrible pains from which weak women suffer. Cardui is worth trying. Judging from the experience of a million other women who have been benefited by this remedy, it should surely do you good. N.
