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.

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.

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 come toward the end of his life. The price of any rare object which attracted the financier’s attention di:< not of late years deter him in the 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.

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.

"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.” IOWAN APPOINTED TO U. S. APPRAISERS BOARD WASHINGTON, April 17.—Presi dent Wilson to-day appointed Jerry Sullivan, of Des Moines, Iowa, to the vacancy on the board of general ap praisers of New York.
