TARIFF RATES
Tremendous Pressure Brought to
Bear in Higher House to Halt
Wholesale Slashing,
WASHINGTON, April 17.—After
being flattened out repeatedly by the
steam-roller of the Ways and Means
Committee, House Democrats w ho ire
opposed to the tariff rates In the
Underwood bill to-day practically
abandoned all hope of achieving any
changes to the bill in the Democratic
raucus.
Consideration of the wool schedule
was the program of the caucus to-day.
With wool remaining on the free list,
the committee was well fortified In
the position it had taken yvith regard
to compensating duties. The old fight
to obtain reductions on woolen yarns
was not expected to make much head
way.
Silk Men Cla«m Rate Too Low.
After the woolen schedule is dis
posed of the silk schedule will be con
sidered. Silk manufacturers claim tlie
Underwood rates on the better grades
of manufactured silk arc too low.
Representatives who have failed to
obtain increases on manufactured
products made in their districts ara
preparing to go to the Senate for
higher duties.
Pressure Used in Senate.
It became known to-day that tre
mendous pressure is to be exerted
upon Senators for changes in the tar-
iff bill.
Underwood is confident, that The
caucus will be able to complete its
work this week and that the tariff
bill will be reported to the House
by the committee early next week.

Financier's Free Spending in Re
cent Years Believed to Have
Reduced Personal Holdings.
NEW YORK, April 17 The will of
J. P. Morgan will be tiled In a few
days.
Among the assets oP the estate of
the great financ ier is $5,000,000 w»orth
of Southern Railway stock.
The Georgian’s correspondent lias
secured these statements from a re
sponsible source:
1 The capital owned and employed
by the firm of J. P. Morgan & Go. in
the conduct of lts business was .small
er than the capital of two or three
other international banking firm?. The
amount is put at less than $30,000,000.
2. J. P. Morgan spent money so
freely in hie pursuit of objects of art
that latterly he did not pay cash for
his more important purchases; he
gave notes, which 1 were met as his
profits from the firm accrued.
3. Mr. Morgan’s personal holdings
of stocks were comparatively small—
certainly smaller than Mr. Rockefel
ler’s, E. H. Harriman’s, or the late
John 9. Kennedy's.
4. The bulk of securities carried in
the name of J. P. Morgan & Co., or
Morgan clerks, were not for the firm’s
own account, but represented invest
ments for wealthy clients.
5. The firm cleaned up each dota
tion as quickly ae possible, distributed
the profits to participants, and kepi
its own working capital in liquid form
whenever practical.
6. Mr, Morgan was intrusted with
many millions of dollars by depositor?
who gave him an absolutely free hand
to use the money as he saw' fit. On
such accounts the return*" were some
times enormous.
The extent of Mr. Morgan’s fortune
is unknown even to those who were
among his close associates. The sub
ject w as one he never discussed. Dur
ing the Jaet two or three years he
gave more time to spending than to
making.
His expenditures for art objects, for
antiquarian research, for charitable
purposes and the like exceeded his in

Rev. Hugh S. Wallace Declares
Foolish Fashions’ Are Another
Setback to Religion.
Operagoers Advised of Tugs at
Heartstrings To Be Expected
in Death Scene.
Rev. Hugh S. Wallace, pastor of
the Jones Avenue Baptist Uhurch,
who Is planning to begin a big- re
vival in the church next Sunday, is
of the opinion that "the stomach” and
"foolish fashions” to-day are two of
the big drawbacks to church attend
ance.
"If you should put a hot dinner in
one corner of a building and start
a church service in another corner
of the same building at the same
time, / most every church member
would flock over to devour the din
ner,” said the minister.
"With many church members the
stomach comes first. They ar e hold
ing up their material stomachs be
tween themselves and spiritual nour
ishment. They have a craving for
spiritual food, out are trying to sat
isfy it through the stomach.
“Other church members are seeking
to satisfy the craving through styl
ish 'hats, and some of these ridicu
lous styles in dresses. Some women
will go to church and sit and gaze
at some other woman’s hat and car
ry on u mental discussion of it in
stead of digesting the message from
the pulpit.
"We need a revival of the churches
— we must impress on church mem
bers that the craving in their hearts
must be satisfied with spiritual food.”
slightest from acquiring it. His ideas
of the relative value of money and
coveted artistic possessions became
such as to occasion much comment.
Guesses as to the size of Mr. Mor
gan’s estate, apart from his art col
lections, range from $50,000,000 to
$200,000,000. Some of the most emi
nent bankers, who ought to know, will
be more surprised if the figure ex
ceeds $75,000,000 than thev will be if
it falls short of $50,000,000.

Leaders Give Puprls Practical
Lessons on How to Wage an
Anti-Dirt Fight.
The City Federation of Womens
Clubs, into whose hands the Chamber
of Commerce’s annual "Clean-up” day
crusade has been placed, is working
heroically to give Atlanta the great
est annual cleaning up that she has
ever experienced.
“We are anxious that this campaign
should bo the most successful that we
have ever waged against dirt in At
lanta,” said Mrs. Charles J. Haden.
president of the Federated Clubs, to
day. "And from the way the teachers
and pupils of the school are taking
hold of the project, I believe it will
not only be a great success, but that
It will result in a great deal of per
manent good,” she said.
The officers of the Federated Clubs
together with the various ward presi
dents, have not only visited every
public school in the cjty and dis
tributed the pledge cards, but have in
many instances stopped to give some
of the more enthusiastic children e
practical demonstration of "How to
Clean Up.”
Mrs. Percy Gives Lessons.
Mrs. W. L. Percy, secretary of tin
lubs, is also enthusiastic over the
project and spent some little time out
at the Exposition Cotton Mills school
showing the children how to go about
cleaning up. She took them one at a
time and showed them how to sweep
and dust.
"Now 's the time for them to learn."
she remarked, as she singled out one
of the smaller members of the crowd
for a practical demonstration in th(
art of cleaning nouse. "Teach them
cleunllness w hen they are young Find
the habit will undoubtedly grow on
them.”
The children are all apparently anx
ious to start the competition ac.d
many declared their intention of get
ting busy thh* afternoon. When A-
lanta’s 2D,000 school children are
turned loose in competition in an
"anti-dirt" crusade, something will
happen. Every nook and corner of
the city undoubtedly will be touched
and Sunday should see Atlanta a
changed city, in that many of the
places now badly in need of a little
attention will have been made clean
and attractive.
Six Prizes To Be Awarded.
The prizes for which the various
schools arc to compete are given by
the Chamber of Commerce. $50 being
given to the white and $50 to the col
ored schools of the city, to be divided
into three prizes. To the Mchool se
curing the greatest number of pledge?
a prize of $25 will be given. The sec
ond priie is $15 and the third prize
$10.
The affair is being handled in a
systematic and business-like w ay and
one which is calculated to bring about
good Find permanent results. In order
to facilitate the handling of the re
turns. the various ward presidents
have been put in charge of the cru
sade in their respective districts.
The officers of the club are:
Mrs Charles J Haden. president of
the Federation of Women's Clubs;
Mrs. F. J. Spratling. vice president;
Mrs. W, L. Percy, treasurer, and Mrs*.
W. B. Price-Smith, secretary.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
"The Red Rose” at the Atlanta.
"The Red Rose” that cast its fra
grance on the Atlanta Theater air last
night—and will again this afternoon-and
to-night—is not a fresh blossom of April,
but as a full-blown flower of a June
agone proved entirely acceptable to a
very fair-sized season and audience.
If a petal here and there seemed
a bit witl ered, from the dust of the
roads very likely, there were compen
sations in its sensuous color and its more
than one seductive melody.
Miss Zoe Barnett, barring a ten
dency to emphasize too strongly the
• Bohemian" characteristic of her role,
made a very acceptable rose maiden.
1 here was a quality in her voice that
fitted well with the tone of the play and
the lure of the gowns. Charles Clear,
as the Englishman, added one of the
many touches of broad comedy, and
\\ alter L. Catlett, as the picture dealer,
helped materially in giving Atlanta pa
trons a very pleasant surprise, for few
theatergoers expect very much of a
tag-end production. The chorus was
nimble and the costumes extremely at
tractive.
"Busy Izzy” is Next.
Music, laughter and sightly surround
ings are what present-day theatergoers
seem t<» want, and it Is promised that
these ingredients have been fully sup
plied in the IP 13 edition of the musical
comedy, "Busy Izzy." in which George
Sidney will muke Lis appearance at the
Lyric next w'eek.
"Let those with tears to shed pre
pare to shed them now,” said the man
at the music store. "I’ve just been
reading the score of ‘Traviata,’ and
for genuine heart throbs it has melo
drama looking like a knockabout acro
batic act.
"You know, of course, that ‘Travia
ta’ is our old friend ‘Camille’ set to
music, with the lady of the cough
called Violetta instead of Camille.
And it has the same death scene at
the finish, with Violetta sobbing out
her heartstrings about three lines
above the staff and the fiddles doing
a tremolo. It is very like the finish
of Mimi in ‘La Boheme’ and the exit
of Little Eva in the well known ‘Mai-
.von de 1’Oncle Tom ’ to put the French
on one of our favorite masterpieces.
"You notice I said I’d been ‘read
ing’ the score. Really, I’ve been play
ing it over on the piano. I’m not a
‘dumb bug’ yet.
"What’s a dumb bug? Why, one of
those highbrow musicians who don’t
need ears to enjoy music. They can
lean over the counter and read the
notes of an orchestra score and have
just as much pleasure as if Toscanini
himself were leading the Metropoli
tan orchestra for their especial bene
fit. Why, they ggit so they can sit in
the corner and weep over a page full
of notes and symbols and think
they’re at a symphony concert. It’s
something like reading a bill of fare
and enjoying a meal. And I might
remark in passing that it’s consid
erably cheaper, too.
“All the great composers worked
that way. Some of them never touch
ed an instrument. They just took
their pen and ink and wrote their
stuff, and they knew how it would
sound, just exactly as you know
what’s coming out of the horn when
you slip a Harry Lauder record on
the phonograph.”
