FREE WOOL BILL
AND FREE SUGAR
BOTH CAN’T PASS
(Continued From Page 1.)
day to hear reports from Senator
Simmons, its chairman, Senator Hoke
Smith and Senator Stone, members or'
the committee, and Senator Kern, the
majority leader, all of whom confer
red with the president last night.
The ways and means committee
also resumed its deliberations. Cha;r
man Underwood expectrd to have
much to guide his committee when
he received the report of the demo
cratic senators and the revenue com
mittees of both housed and checker!
up on just where they stood.
Senator Simmons and Chairman
Underwood both expressed the hope j
that a tariff bill might be introduc
ed by the ways and means committee
which can be passed in both houses
without material change. Such a bill,
all are agreed, must have the ap
proval of the president and assurance
of supoprt from democratic senators
who oppose free sugar. Though there
still is opposition to free wool, par
ticularly among the western senators,
it seemed practically assured that the
ways and means committee wou d
leave wool on the free list as agreed
to yesterday.
Sol Wexler, a banker, of New Or
leans, told the president today that
the sugar planters of Louisiana could
not adjust their business in three
years to compete with Cuba and the
rest* of the world in growing sugar,
and said that the president must ha\e
been misinformed, if he believed it
could be done. Mr. Wexler went away
from the white house, with the dis
*
tinct impression, he said, thaj unless
the Louisiana people accepted the
compromise the president would urge
tree sugar in any event.
The senate finance committee re
ceived its first copy of the new tariif
bill today and spent three hours dis
cussing it. The possibility of a com
promise on sugar makes it apparent
tnat there will be less difficulty than
vas first expected. It appeared cer
tain after the meeting, that free wool
would be retained in the measure.
Senators Simmons, Janies and Hughes
were appointed a committee to confer
a-, once with Chairman Underwood
cl the ways and means committee.
The cabinet discussed the sugar
compromise, and the whole tariff bi.l
situation at the regular meeting to
day.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
SENATE IS STUMBLING
BLOCK FOR TBE TARIFF
Measure Won’t Have Clear
Sailing
Washington, D. C., April 44.—Com
pletion of the new tariff revision bill,
the character of the cuts to be levied
on sugar and the extent to which Pres
ident Wilson will give the support of
the administration to the complete
measures, depended tonight cn the
success that might attend efforts of
the president to reach an agreement
with senate tariff leaders.
Th tariff situation shifted to the
senate today with the prospect of
much work ahead of the chief execu
tive to smooth over disputed points,
and tearing the senate, the house ami
his own views into harmony before the
new bill is brought out to the gaze of
the public. Senators Simmons, Stone
and Hoke Smith, all members of the
finance committee, had a long confer
ence with President Wilson today. A*
its conclusion, Senator Simmons said
the conference had been in every wav
satisfactory to the senate members.
A sweeping canvass of the senate
has been undertaken to determine just
how' far democratic members of that
body will go in support of the policies
laid down by the president.
The, decision to put raw wool on the
free list, and the threat of free sugar,
have stirred up the democratic forces
of the senate to such an extent that
members of the finance committee told
the president tonight some important
changes would hav,e to be made in tin
draft of the bill, if it is to meet wir.h
a cordial reception when it reaches
the senate.
The president also saw Senator
Hughes of New Jersey, member of the
finance committee, and a radical revis
ionist, and Senator, John W. Kern, thy
democratic leaded of the senate. His
conference with Senator Kern, which
followed that with members of the
finance committee, is understood to
have given the president a fairly ac
curate idea of the sentiment prevail
ing in the senate over the proposed
free wool and reduced sugar duties,
and over the sweeping reductions in
other rates that have been determined
upon by the house committee on ways
and means. Today’s developments in
clude the practical completion of th »
bill by the house committee along the
lines agreed to with the president.
It appeared fairly certain tonight
that either the sugar duty would be
compromised at 1 cent per pound, pos
sibly with a provision that it should
Ibe entirely abolished in three years,
or that there should be a gradual re
duction of 25 per cent per year from
the existing duty until it had disap
peared.
The senate leaders did not reach any
general agreement with the president.
The results of their conference will b
laid before the full democratic mem
bership of the finance committee at a
meeting called for 10:30 o'clock to
morrow morning.
FARMING CONDITION'S NOT
BAD AS REPRESENTED
Says Well known Lee County Farmer
While in Americas.
Among the visitors in Americus Fri
day was Mr. Lee Childers, one of
Lee county’s substantial farmers and a
former resident here. Mr. Childers e;-
presses the belief that farming condi
tions are not nearly so bad as gen
erally supposed, and are far better
than at this date a year ago.
The excellent work done in January
and February has not been obliterated
by the recent rains, and with fail
weather for a time the farmers, he
believes, will quickly recoup the losses
sustained recently. They are now
planting cotton in Lee county, he sam.
Mr. Chikiers has put in half his cotton
crop already, and will finish planting
next week.

YELLOW FLOOD NEAR
TOP OF CAIRO LEVEE
River Stands at 54.6 Feel.
Highest on Record
Cairo, 111., April 3. —Rain failing in
a steady downpour and flood water
washing against the sacks of sand
piled on the concrete levee wail,
changed conditions (materially hero
last night. Although the weath’r
change naturally would carry with it
a negative outlook for the welfare of
the city, a confidence seems to have
sprung up among the citizens who
have worked hardest to prevent Cai
ro's destruction that appeared to off
set it.
Day after day the residents have
watched the flood water .climb on the
guage until tonight it stood slight
ly above 54 6. The old record was
54.5. There is only a few inches of
space between the surface of the wa
ter and the top of the concrete wall.
Ensign Melvin, in charge of the dis
patch boat service between Cairo a H
Mound City, 111., reported last nig it
that the Ohio river had backed into
Coach river to an alarming height and
that the levee back of the town ap
peared quite weak. Most of the 600
persons there are now encamped in
the courthouse, including two com
panies of guardsmen.
LUtut. S. B. Buckner, U. S. A., has
ordered constructed fifty flat boats
to be placed throughout low sections
of the city in case of emergency. A
planing mill reported it would ha v e
that number completed today.

SUPT. POOLE’S RESIGNATION
WAS VERIFIED YESTERDAY
He Will Leave the Seaboard
Today
Reports current here recently ra
garding the probable resignation of
Mr. A. J. Poole as general superinten
dent of motive power of the entire
Seaboard system, were confirmed yes
terday in a communication received
here from Mr. Poole and addressed to
one. of his friends. Mr. Poole’s resig
nation will become effective today.
Mr. Poole did not set forth his fu
ture plans beyond the mere state
ment that he would soon be in a sim
ilar position elsewhere, but whether
with a Chicago system, or in the
South, he did not say. Two such posi
tions have been open to him recently
Mr. Poole’s resignation from the Sea
board is very much regretted among
his friends in Americus and more es
pecially among the master mechanics
and engineers of that system, to whom
|he was p-rsonally known. He went up
| from the ranks, where he worked with
, them to the position long occupied.
For six or seven years he has been
general superintendent of motive pow
er, with headquarters at Portsmouth,
Va. He began his career with the Sea
board in the Americus shops and held
other higher positions in other cities
before attaining the one he now holds.
BUSY DAYS NOW FOR
STATE VETERINARIAN
Moultrie Has Strange Disease Among
Horses.
Dr. P. F. Bahnsen, state veterinary
surgeon, is spending a day at hi?
home in Americus on his return from
a trip into Southeastern Georgia,
where he has recently delivered ad
dresses upon the eradication of the
cattle tick. Dr. Bahnsen will go t-
Reidsville next Tuesday to address the
farmers there upon the same subject.
Dr. Bahnsen has also been re
quested to come to Moultrie, where a
disease in virulent form has broken
ou* among two carloads of horses
shipped there from St. Louis to a lo
cal dealer. Dr. Bahnsen wired the
Moultrie parties to secure the services
cf another veterinarian who would at
tend the animals until he could ream
Moultrie.
