TIEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, C,A„ SUNDAY, MAY 4, 1913 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.

A triumphal march of participants in an unusual contest will be that of more than 5.000 members of the Sun day schools of the First Christian untf the Second Baptist Churches, when this morning they will form a proces sion from the State Capitol to the Auditorium. In the big hill will be held a monster Sunday school rally. The procession and the rally are re- suts of a membership contest be tween the two schools, in the course of which the enrollment of the First Christian Church has been increased from 330 to 4,000, and that of tho Second Baptist Church from 420 to 3,700.

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.

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.

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.

PARIS, May 3.—Edward Wharton, husband of Edith Wharton, the nov elist, refused absolutely to-day to 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.

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. ‘Brazilian Trot’ Is Latest From Paris Joan Sawyer, Who Brings it, Says That It Is the Only Thing in the World.

Fourth American Peace Congress Near Open Break on Elec tion of Officers. Columbia Students Reject Honor Plan System of Espionage at Examination Continues in New York University. 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 men did not cheat, because they did not have the opportunity.
