LISTTDGIUTIFT
House Democrats, With Aid of
Progressives, Ratify Provision
After Hot Fight.
MANY FAIL TO CAST VOTE
\
Consequences Put Squarely Up to
President—Dire Results
Are Predicted.
<■'* WASHINGTON, May 3.—Putting
the consequences squarely up to the
President of the United States, the
Democrats of the House, by a vote of
188 to 75. to-day ratified the free wool
provision of the Wilson-Underwood
tariff schedule, which imposes duties
on manufactures of wool.
In the debate it was established
that—
Under the proposed duties, the
raising of sheep for wool only
will be profitless.
The industry will be killed en
tirely in Ohio.
Wools are cheaper in London
than in Boston, despite President
Wilson’s statement to the con
trary.
The woolen trust is given the
advantage of tariff protection,
while the sheep grower must com
pete in a free-trade market.
Duties on the lower grades of
woolen cloth are placed at a
higher figure than those asked by
the Republicans in their fight for
protection.
Democrats of Ohio, Indiana and
other sheep-raising- sections, who op
posed free wool, took no part in the
debate and were not present for the
vote. They will go on record when
the bfil comes up in the House on its
llnal passage.
Progressive Support Schedule.
Roll calls will be had then on free
wool, free sugar and other disputed
items of tho bill. Representative Mur
dock and other Progressives support
ed the Democratic schedule.
Defending the Underwood schedule,
Representative Francis Burton Har
dison, of New York, said that a man
;k'ho buys custom-made clothes will
not have them made any cheaper. One
of the greatest advantages* of free
w wool, he insisted, would be the as
surance to the man who buys the $$
and $10 ready-made suits that he can
get one of wool and not one made of
shoddy and cotton.
Where the price may not be low
ered, Harrison held out the hope that
better material will be used,
d "Mr. H&rrison admits that free woo;
, means the death knell of wool grow
ing in tne United States for wool
only,” said Representative Mann.
. “Representative Hardwick of Geor
gia, yesterday declared that free
sugar sounded the death knell of the
sugar cane growing industry in
Louisiana and Texas. Do they think
that In this killing off one by one
the industries of the country they
are not killing off all the Industries
together? When they propose to
do injury to a great mass of indus
tries, this country cannot retain its
prosperity # to which it is entitled.”
Replying* to frequent charges that
free wool has been forced on the
Democrats by President Wilson and
that it has been opposed by the ways
and means committee, Representa
tive Garner of Texas said that the
Democrats were soldiers and had
followed the leaders of their party.
The Democrats of the committee de
cided to place a 15 per cent duty on
wool.
"The President wanted it made
free, so we made it free,” said Mr.
Garner. "I voted for a duty on wool.
I voted also to put cattle on the free
list. Cattle carry a duty of 10 per
cent in this bill. I am making this
statement because it has been charg
ed here that I, being a member of
the ways and means committee had
influence with the committee suf
ficient to direct it along lines un
duly protecting interests of my own
state.” ,
Predicts Defeat of Democrats.
Representative Sinnett, of Oregon,
said that the Underwood bill favored
the woolen manufacturer at the ex
pense pf the woolgrowers and that
,the most insistent advocates of free
wool had been the manufacturer.
“Oregon has been good to the
V Democrats in sending them two
Democratic senators,” said Sinnett.
“Last year you promised that no
legitimate industry would be in
jured. Pass this bill, and Senators
Chamberlain and Lane cannot be sent
back here.”
A substitute for the Underwood
schedule v. as proposed by Represen-
c t.hfive Payne. It provided duties of
19, 18. and 8 cents per
pound on wool of different grades,
«<• per cent ad valorem on low
grade manufactures of wool and
S5 to 55 per cent on high grade
manufactures. frhc Democratic
schedule carries a flat duty of 35 per
cent on both high and low grades of
manufactures.
Payne predicted that in four years
the substitute he proposed would be
written into law, either by the Demo
crats or by the Republicans.
Representative Heflin said that
the Democrats wanted to give the
protection now extended to 54,000,-
000 sheep to the farmer’s boy. Willis,
of Ohio, suggested that the farmer’s
boy would lose his job with the
destruction of his sheep and that the
protection would be given to the
half naked savages of Africa.
Representative Lenroot, of Wiscon
sin, accused the Democrats of re
pudiating the Baltimore platform
which promised the destruction of
monopoly, even at the expense of the
Industry. He claimed that the Ameri
can Woolen Company, declared by
Underwood to be a trust, was bene
fited by the duties proposed in the
schedule.
Underwood was defeated to-night
in an effort to take bituminous coal
from the free list and make it dutia
ble at 40 cents a ton. Mondell, of
Wyoming, said that free coal would
enable Canada to supply the mar*
* kets In Montana and Idaho, which
' no" use Wyoming coal. Canada im
poses a duty on American coal.
j He insisted that he removal of th ■
duty would not lower the price of
coal to the small consumer one cent
a ton, while the loss in revenue to th -
U.yve nment would b« about $1,000,09'*
n vear.

j Father Makes Appeal Through
New Orleans Woman’s
Club for Aid.
NKW ORI.KANS, May 3. The
Stale Department at Washington will
be asked to assist In the rescue of
Miss Aminta Martin, who is being
held a prisoner in the harem of
Prince Cahiba in a small town near
Calcutta, India. The father of the
girl to-day laid liL case before a lo
cal women’s organization, which im
mediately forwarded the pipers in
the case to Congressman Dupre, who
will be requested to ask the Federal
Government to take stops to have the
girl released.
Aminta was ltf when she attracted
the attention of Cahiba, who was
sight-seeing in New York. He told
her she would be a princess and
would live in a palace. She married
him in Jersey City and immediately
sailed for Calcutta. The Indian had
plenty of money and gave the girl’s
mother $2,500 as a token of good
will.
After two years’ captivity, the girl
has managed to smuggle three letters
to her father, In which she begs that
he hasten to have her rescued.
“I am one of forty-five wives, and
1 am treated most cruelly,” she writes.
“The woman who has promised to
mail this for me will succeeed or for
feit her life. I am the only Ameri
can girl in the harem; in fact, the
only one who can speak English. If
I find there is no chance of being
saved, I will kill myself, but that w ill

J. S. Slicer First in “At Death,”
but Other Participants Follow
Close Behind Him.
Ten miles ‘cross country', over hills
and creek bottoms, through dense
woods and along smooth roads, a lit
tle troop of horsemen followed a thin
trail of confetti yesterday' afternoon
in what was Atlanta's first society
paper chase of many years. It was
significant in that it marks, society
leaders think, a revival of the vogue
which equestrian sports once liad in
Atlanta.
F. A. Savage and Wilmer Moore,
Jr., led the chase. And well, too.
The trail they blazed with the tiny
bits of paper required the nice eye of
an Indian fighter or of a Burns de
tective to follow it. In consequence,
only four of those who started in
their wake reached the end of the
trail. To J. S. Slicer belongs the
palm, they think. He was the first
of the horsemen they met when they
began to retrace their steps.
Foremost in the chase was Mrs.
John Hill, an intrepid horsewoman.
Others that followed the paper trail
were Royston Cabaniss, Roy Dorsey,
W. D. McBurney, Lee Douglas, R. P.
McLarty and Lieutenant Tucker.
The party assembled at the corner
of Fifteenth and Peachtree Streets
about 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
The chase began near the plant of
the steel works, where the leaders
began to lay the paper. Thence it
led across tile country to Peachtree
creek, and along Peachtree Road to
tho Tea House, going along Haber
sham Drive, through the woods, and
back to Peachtree Road, ending on
the Morris Brandon estate beyond
Buekhead.
The paper chase will be repeated
next Saturday afternoon, when a
larger following, it is thought, will
be mustered. The devotees of the
equestrian art are planning also an
elaborate gymkhana for the near fu
ture.
PRODIGAL LOSES A WIFE
AND FURNITURE AS WELL
CHICAGO, May 3—The story of
how he was robbed of a prospective
wife and several thousand dollars
worth of furniture, not to speak of
a number of nights’ sleep, is narrated
in a bill asking $25,000 damages
which C. M. Schaffer filed against
August H. and Mrs. Anna Race Froy-
nicke in Superior Court.
Shaffer says he befriended the
woman and furnished a flat for her.
He alleges she agreed to divorce her
policeman husband and marry him.
She selected, and he bought $2,000
worth of furniture.
In course of ,time, according to
Shaffer, the husband, conspicuous by
his absence during the lovemaking,
turned up again, routed the inter
loper from his family circle, “made
up” with his wife and appropriated
all the new furniture.
Shaffer says the policeman hr *at-
ened to "get him" if he trie*?: legal
reprisals.

Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 3.—Edward Wharton,
husband of Edith Wharton, the nov

discuss the rumor that his wife in
tended to seek a divorce from him.
“This is entirely a personal and
private affair,” said Mr. Wharton,
“which can not possibly interest the
public, except that prurient part of
the populace. We Harvard men have
certain principles by which I propose
to stand. One of them is not to
gratify pruriency.”
Mr. Wharton arrived from London
last night, and Is stopping at a pri
vate hotel in the Rue Volney. Mrs.
Wharton is in Italy.

lanta the ieading Sunday school city
of the world.
To that ena, when the contest be
tween the two churches is over—May
11—the Baptist Sunday schools of At
lanta will challenge th.- Methodist
Sunday schools to a great contest, in
volving more than 60 institutions.
When the contest between the First
Christian and Second Baptist Sunday
schools was started, twelve weeks
ago, it was decided that, one week
before tho end, the losing school
member: should go to the winning
school for a love feast and rally The
results outdistanced the most san
guine hopes. The auditorium of
neither school is large enough to ac
commodate the membership of both.
A change of plans was necessary, and
it was decided that the joint meeting
would be held at the Auditorium, and
all the public would be invited.
According to the original plan of
the contest, the winning Sunday
school will be the guest at a picnic
given by the loser. Long ago, how
ever, the workers have lost sight of
the picnic prize, and have been work
ing with an enthusiasm transcending
that for a picnic goal.
When the two schools meet at the
Capitol this morning a panorama
picture of the assembly will be taken,
and in the course of their march to
the Auditorium moving pictures will
be taken.
WASHINGTON, May 3.—Fear that
the American Tobacco Company may
develop so great an American trade in
Philippine cigars as te permanently
change the taste of the smoking pub
lic and ruin the American tobacco
industry, Representative Lonergan of
Connecticut to-day started a move
ment to unionize labor in the islands.
He said tlie reciprocity on Filipino
tobacco, provided in the Wilson-Un
derwood tariff bill, was good Republi
can doctrine, but that the tobacco
growers of Connecticut were looking
ahead to a time when cheap labor ;n
the Philippines might enable the "to
bacco trust.” to undersell all Ameri
can manufactured tobaccos with a
superior article made in the Islands.
“Once give the Americans the hab
it of buying Philippine cigars from
the trust and the American growers
and manufacturers will be lost,” said
Mr. Lonergan.

NEW YORK, May 8—Th© honor
system will not be tried at Columbia
in the Anal examinations at the end
of this month, although the student
body has been agitating the abolition
of the present system of espionage
for a year.
The faculty to-day decided that it
would be impracticable to establish
the system at this time, as only about
one-third of the total college body
had voted for its installation.
The Columbia Alumni News said
editorially that degrees granted un
der the present system simply show
that all the university knows is the

not have the opportunity.
