TIIK ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, MONDAY, MAY 12, IDIH. Makeshift Written Into Wilson- Underwood Bill Arouses Bitter Opposition, WASHINGTON. May 1*.—Genuine reciprocity, and not the makeshift written into the Wilson tender wood bill, Senator* believe, will e de manded and insisted upon by the Senate. Majority members of the Finance Committee are now endeav oring to see just how far they may go In rewriting the sections of the House bill to make it conform to what they believe the underlying principle of all reciprocal agreements should be. Chairman Simmons, of the Finance Committee, and Senator Hoke Smith, one of the moat influential members of the committee, have expressed their adherence to the dootrme of reciprocity. Both have said they hoped the bill when it became a law would provide machinery that would enable the President to negotiate reciprocity agreements and that rates would be so arranged that the President would have an effective weapon at his com mand to compel concessions. The details of whatever plans they may have in mind have noi been worked out. Many Amendment* Certain. Every majority member of the com mitter* ha? stated amendments to the bill and that in many Items the rates will be increased. The methods of procedure of the Senate Committee and the House differ radically. Senator Kern, majority leader, moved last week that when the Sen ate adjourn it be until next Tuesday afternoon. This prevailed, and at the very threshold of debate on the tariff, hv Democratic votes, a delay of three days was ordered in the face of the demand of President Wilson that not a moment he lost in rushing through the bill In the Senate. In the Senate the Democrat* are taking into consideration the differ ence on the cost of production hero and abroad in llxing their rates. A number of articles that have been put on the free list will be shifted hack to the dutiable, and a few articles made dutiable in the House will be made free. Dye stuffs and pigments are notable instances of the differ ences between the two houses. Tha rates on high grade cotton are to be raised and a new classification arranged. Window and plate glass as fixed by the House are deemed to be too low and will be raised. All these changes afford opportuni- t\ of subsequent reductions under reciprocal trade agreements in line with the real Democratic tariff idea. Senator Smith, of Michigan, bases caustic criticisms on the sugar sched ule, the manufacture of beef sugar b-Ing a great Industry of his State. “After the trust has run its com- pet Itor* out of business, as they will under this law," says Mr. Smith, “and competition no longer exist, the price of sugar will be increased to what it was before beet sugar wn? discovered If you intend to with draw from circulation all the money invested in sugar production and turn it over to foreigners, it ought to be done in the open. Give the people a chance to he heard, and do not do this in the dark and gloom of a secret chamber *’ Can't Lose “Wilson." Senator Smith says it is singular that all the Democratic tariff bills looking to free trade bore the name of Wilson. “1 saw Bryan help carry William L. Wilson on his shoulder from the house on the day of his ‘great tri umph.' It was not very long before these same shoulders carried a weight so heavy that 1t hag taken twenty years to regain the confidence of the people. “I don’t believe that prosperity can continue under this law. In your hearts you don’t believe It or you would not he so worried as you are. It was faith in your promised good works that put you in power. "If this question were to be sub mitted to the people to-day you would be repudiated and thrown from office. The American people are not for free trade, and that's what you are endeavoring to force upon them.’’ The fight to order public hearings Will come up again Tuesday. ^ Police Hold Mob 1 Bent on Lynching Negroe* Threaten to Take Black j Slayer of Negro Boy From Three County Officer*.

Dr. Charles Stelzle, of New York, who will be one of the big figures in the Presbyterian assembles, and who organized the work of the Men and Religion Forward Movement in At lanta, declared Monday there is a vast difference in the moral tone of the Atlanta to-day and the Atlanta of a year ago.

The change is appar ent to even the most casual observer Morality 1* in the air in Atlanta and the moral atmosphere of the city is infinitely better.” Though gratified that the move ment which he organized should have been *o successful in ridding Atlanta of vice. Dr. Rtelsle declared the city could not continue to be morally clean unless present conditions are made more attractive to the average man. t'lean, wholesome recreation lie declared to be the best solution of the problem. “1 would suggest the appointment of a recreation commission” he said "This commission shoud be composed of men who have given some study to the amusement needs of the city. This commission could call In outside rec reation experts to Its conferences and get the benefits of the work that has been done In other cities. "Atlanta seems to be lacking in op portunities for the amusement of the average person, especially on Sunday. The opportunities that are here could, however, be enlarged and made more attractive. For instance, the Audito rium should be a rallying place every Sunday afternoon for several thou sand people. The recitals and pro grams given there should he thor oughly advertised and the people should be urged to attend. Phone Report Inconclusive.
