LONDON. April Hi. Commenting
editorially to-day «>n the statement
by Wiliam Randolph Hearst, pub
lished yesterday in The Washington
Post and other American newspapers,
The Evening Pall Mall Gazette,, a
staunch Conservative paper, says;
‘‘America's conversion to free trade
has met an unfortunate check through
the fact that Mr. Hearst, who sup
ported President Wilson for election,
lias already bolted* from the new tar
iff proposals.
“Mr. Hearst Is Right.”
“The particular significance of his
attitude lies in the adoption of such a
line of criticism by one who is recog
nized as a professional judge of pop
ular feeling in such matters. Mr.
Hearst is evidently convinced that
nothing will more certainly cause a
revulsion of feeling on the part of the.
American people than to spread the
alarm that free trade is at their gates.
We have little doubt that in taking
this view he is entirely right.''

tions. * 41 * Inasmuch as the av

fair to say that President Wilson is at

DETROIT. April 16.—What i
troit going to do with Ty Cobb?
Is Ty Cobb bigger than baseball or
baseball bigger than Ty Cobb?
These two questions are agitating
the minds of the people of the nation
to-day probably to a greater degree
than even the tariff.
In a signed statement to-day Pres
ident Navin, of the Detroit Ameri
can League club team, attempts a
answer Ihe queries. In part Presides
Navin says:
"It is conceded by everybody that
Cobb is the best ball player in the
world and he is also the best paid
ball player in the world. But this
is not the issue. Cobb did not make
baseball; baseball made him. Cobb,
instead of reporting for spring prac
tice and giving the club the benefit
of his knowledge, organized a barn
storming team and went through the
South, starring himself with daily ul
timatums to the Detroit club.
“He demands $15,000 for his serv
ices and then goes to the other end
of the country to tire ultimatums at
me through the press. In the past I
have patiently put up with a great
deal from Cobb.
“To give In would be to acknowl
edge that Cobb is bigger than base
ball.

Many disgruntled Democrats now
look to the Senate as their only hope
for increases in rates. No coalition

opposing such a plan and the huge

an additional deterrent.
Representatives from the mill dis

any of these would be acted upon fa

A counter agitation in the shape of

entertained.
SAVANNAH, GA., April 16.—The
sixty-fourth annual session of the
Medical Association of Georgia con
vened in this city this morning with
Dr. W. W. Pitcher, of Warrenton,
president, presiding. The delegates
were welcomed for the city by Mayor
Richard J. Davant and on the part of
the Georgia Medical Association by
Dr. Ralston Lattimore, chairman of
the committee on entertainment. Re
sponse was made by Dr. E. E. Mur
phy, Augusta.
The feature of the session was a
discussion of medical and pharma
ceutical practices and the problems
involved in Georgia, which was pre
cipitated by a paper by Dr. Robert C
Wilson, professor of pharmacy of
the University of Georgia. The key
note of that paper was a condemna
tion of patent medicines.
CHICAGO, April 15. Agitation
against the sentence imposed upon
fourteen-year-old Ollie Taylor, of At
lanta. who confessed stealing a 5-cent
bottle, continues to spread. C. W.
Croty, a lumber manufacturer of
Tomah, Wis., read the story of the
youngster, and immediately wrote
Senator La Collette and Congressman
J. J Esch, of his district, asking what
could be done to have the child’s pun
ishment ended. The Senator replied
it was a question for the Georgia au
thorities. Mr. Esch said he would
confer with some of the Democratic
Congressmen.
‘I believe there must be some mis
take,” the Congressman added. "At
least I hope so. because the penalty
is out of all proportion to the of
fense.”
Hears from Lawyer.
The Wisconsin lumberman also
heard from W. II. Terrell, who was
attorney for the Taylor boy. Mr.
errell said that unless the boy
should be paroled or the Governor
pardoned him. the only hope he has
is in appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States, “and he is too
poor to pay the necessary expenses
of such a proceeding ” This is ex
actly what Mr. Croty is considering.
He says he is not through with the
case.
“I called the attention of Mr. La-
Follette and Mr. Esch to the different
decisions in the oleomargarine trust
ease and to this Taylor boy’s ease as
to the penalty being unreasonable,”
he remarks, referring to the Treasury
Department's attempted compromise

Ralph W. Bagwell, 20 East Baker

the filing of a suit for divorce by his
wife and the nc exeat order taken
in Superior Court on which lie was
thrown into jail last night soon after
the institution of the proceedings.
"Aly mother-in-law is the cause of

RERUN, April 10. An Invitation
to the United States to Join Germany
in a trade agreement in 1916. when
the German agreements expire, was
extended by George Gothein, the Un
derwood of the Reichstag, in speakinj
to a correspondent to-day.
“The influence of the American tar
iff reduction on Germany will be
largely moral,” he said, “and will as
sist the general movement for tariff
reduction. German Liberals regard
the effort in America as an answer to
the popular demand for cheaper living
rather than as a policy to increase
prosperity through export trade. If
America wishes to widen its market
for manufactures, the best means* to
that end will be a trade agreement
j with Germany. Our agreements ex
pire in 11*16. which gives America
splendid opportunity to follow tariff j
reduction w ith a constructive econom
ic policy.”
The correspondent found among the
Lihi-ruls a tonden y toward skepticism
regarding a successful reduction of
thi tariff in America. One of the
leading spokesmen of the Progressive
party said:
"We hope President Wilson will win
his light, but we realize the immense
opposition from the interests which he
must overcome. If he does succeed
the influence in Europe will undoubt
edly be for a lower tariff.”
Germain stands third among the
eountries buying American exports,
following England and Canada. The
imports from the United States to this
country for eleven months of the cal
endar year 1912 amounted in value to
$289,000,000. or an Increase of $63,000,-
