LONDON. April 17.—Mr. Hearsfs attack on Wilson's fiscal policy as an imitation of British policies is largely quoted by Washington corres pondents of principal London papers. The London Times is specially in- terested by Mr. Hearst's reference to itself. It prints a long dispatch con-j talning such phrases: "Mr. Hearst’s newspapers have enormous aggregate circulation. • * * He is always ready to sling mud at the British Lion." The London Times correspondent concludes thus: "It is possible Mr. Hearst may have reasons of his own for believing Mr. Wilson is a confirmed free trader, but if he is alluding to the Under wood bill, then his understanding of free trade is as faulty as his knowl edge of the general policy and fiscal views of The Times. Official expert analysis of the Underwood bill just published confirms my qptimate ofi its protective nature. The average ad valorem rates work out about 25 per cent reduction on the present tariff rates. When taken in connection with the retaliatory features the measures are a far cry from British free trade.” : 6* WASHINGTON. April signed editorial by William 17.—'The Randolph Hearst, published In the Georgian yesterday, on the Federalist!!* wnden- «ie> of President Wilson and also treating of the President’s tariff views, will he put into the Congres sional Record and sent in general distribution throughout the country'. Representative Willis, of Ohio, en deavored to get unanimous consent for this purpose, but he was met. with an objection by Representative Hardwick, of Georgia. “It Is a most interesting and in structive article.” commented Mr. Willis in making his request. “Never mind about the objection now,” said Mr. Mann, the Republican leader “wo will find a way later to put the article in the record.” Wilton Silent After Reading. Mr. Hearst’s editorial was read ear ly by President Wilson. He so in formed the newspaper men, hut de clined to make any* comment. The editorial furnished the topic oi conversation and discussion in the cloak rooms and at private offices. Many Democratic members were loth to make formal comment; they are seeking Federal i atronage from the President. They want to remain on good terms with the Executive until the appointments are made. The ful filment was heard in the lowing < ’apitoI Senator O’Gorman, of New York— “1 read Mr. Hearst’s letter with a great deal of in'erest.” Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon— “I agree lu the main with many of the things Mr Hearst has said. I do not believe w • should be too rad ical in cur revision of the tariff. 1 favor downward revision, Demo cratic revision, that will reduce the rates materially; but these results should be worked out gradually. Some of the rates that* have been agreed upon by the House Commit tee and approved in the caucus arc too low. Mr. Hearst lias stated his position clearly, und i! will have weight.” “Argument by Hearst Will Do Good for Whole Country” Senator Norris, of Nebraska—•*[ approve of the tariff argument ad vanced by «Mr. Hearst and think it will do good throughout the country. Of course. I could not be expected to agree with Mr. Wilson’s tariff views, and I hope they will not prevail, for he wants our duties removed to too great a degree. Whether he is going o use tl ■ offices ;o control votes fot the tariff bill it is too early to say. He has not don* so yet. If he re frains from that 1 see no reason why he. should riot vis!'

That’s one of the reasons the Elks are busy rush ing plans for the installation of two splendid bowling alleys, to cost $1,000, in the tine clubhouse on East Ellis Street.

Give Self-Expression. “The plays that children have given under the auspices of the Drama League,” she said, “have been of in calculable benefit, both to the children and the work. We have never tried to make them professionals or in any sense to train them for the stage. It has been the only means of self-ex pression afforded poor children. It has given them self-confidence and extended their knowledge of good lit erature. “Our work amohg children on the playgrounds has been of the greatest benefit. There was an instance in Chicago where a girl of 10, carrying a small baby and with her 2-year-okl sister dragging at her skirts, attended every rehearsal.

I am in hearty accord with him in his clearly ex press'd views on reciprocity and the reasons he assign.**. It is one of the best expositions of that subject I have heard for a long time. This thing of reducing our rates to the lowest notch without demanding .somethin?, of th- other fellow is go ing to do us harm If we are play ing the business game, and want to win business for the American peo ple, we ought not to lay our hand on the table and let out opponents see it. It is not good business sense to throw down all our trade barriers and lot foreign nations come into our market arid not demand something from them lji return. Mr. Hearst’s letter car. be read by all Americans with profit.” Senator Townstnd, of Michigan “I haven’t read anything in a long time that pleased me more than this letter of Mr. Hearst. I was surprised to see it coming from such a dis tinguished Democrat and a man of such Influence in his party, but it •ings true in every word. It is logi cal and clear, and what is more to the point, it is tin truth bluntly spoken and easily understood. With the newspapers he publishes to cir- . culate such a letter these words of warning from Mr. Hearst to the Dem ocrats of the country are bound to have a great influence upon the thought of the country.’ Wilson’s Program Means Disaster for Home Industries” "It is plain tha: President Wilson’s mind is bent toward free trade. He speaks of artificial conditions in the I’nited States and insists that Amer ican manufacturers and producers must operate un tor competitive con ditions. Those ‘onditions as Presi dent Wilson woind impose them, ap pointed out by Mr. Hearst, would mean disaster for American indus tries. If rates are reduced to the minimum figure we are forced into competition with foreign ('heap ma terial and cheap labor, and American labor and American material cannot compote with the tariff barrier com pletely removed. Mr. Hearst makes •ds point with regard to reciprocity in such clean-cut English that any body ought to be able to see It. As he asks. What earthly good will It do if we tear down the tariff and got nothing by way of a bargain in re turn. 1 YY« simply open our own mar kets to our competitors and do noth ing that rains us an additional dol lar of trad*' abroad. Rccipi < ity is the only solution and Mr Hearst is wise in seeing it nd courageous in expressing it so clearly.” Speaker Clark—“Because of the pressure of business 1 have had to lay the article aside to-day for close reading and study to-night. Until 1 haw gone over carefully what Mr. Hearst has to say 1 will make no comment.'* Representative Pou, of North Caro lina—“From the comments I have heard th article has in it sound rea soning . d «is important.’’ Representative Burnett, of Alabama "1 have had rtw doubts about the wisdom of reviving the old Federal ist h custom of tin President reading his address to Congress. I have be- ieved ilwavs tha» the plan of reci procity advocated by Mr. Hearst was imre Democratic doctrine, and should be carried in the Tariff bill.” Convict Marathoner Loses to Policemen Speedy Prisoner Sheds Garb, Files Shackles.

Two glasses of Atlanta near-beer that will cause a man to go on a rampage in his 'boarding house, ter rorize the place with an ice pick, and cause girl guests to flee to porches and the street for refuge are worth a fancy price, in the opinion of Re corder Nash Broyles.
