* * THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, MONDAY, MAY 12, 1913. DEMAND REAL Makeshift Written Into Wilson- Underwood Bill Arouses Bitter Opposition. WASHINGTON. May 12.—Genuine reciprocity, and not the makeshift written into the “WileonUnderwood hill. Senator* believe, will e de manded -und insisted upon by the Senate. Majority members of the Finance Committee are now endeav orlng to see just how far they may go in rewriting the aertlops 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 moet influential members of the committee, have expreeeed their adherence to the doctrine 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 not been worked out. Many Amendments Certain. Every majority member of the com mittee 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. Tills prevailed, and at the very' threshold of debate on the tariff, by Democratic vote*, a delay of three days was ordered In the face of the demand of President Wilson that not a moment be lost in rushing through the bill in the Senate. Tn the Senate the Democrats are taking into consideration the differ ence on the cost of production here and abroad in fixing their rates. A number of articles that have been put on the free list will be shifted back 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. The 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 bo too low' and v\ill be raised. All these changes afford opportuni ty of subsequent reductions under reciprocal trade agreements in line with the real Democratic tariff idea. Senator Smith, of Michigan, bases caustic criticisms on the *ugar sched ule, the manufacture of beef sugar being a great industry of hi* State. “After the trust has run its com petitors 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 was 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 be beard, 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 “I 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 no heavy that it has taken twenty years to regain the confidence of the people. 1 don’t believe that prosperity can continue under this law. In your hearts you don't believe It or you would not be so worried as you art. lr was faith tn your promised good I 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 Bent on Lynching ‘ Negroes Threaten to Take Black j Slayer of Negro Boy From Three County Officers.

But he insisted that re form go further—that the city name a recreation commission to provide amusement* to take the place of harmful forms of recreation, recog nized as contributory to vice condi tions. Dr. Stelzle said he did not wish to detract in the slightest measure from the great work already accomplish ed, but he explained that the city would be most safe from a recur rence of vice evils If it provides wholesome amusements “I am amazed at the results of the work." declared Dr. Stelzle. “From my observations during the few days that I have been in the city, I do not hesitate to say Atlanta is now one of the most moral cities in the South, and will rank, morally, with any city in the United States “A year ago vice flourished in the city and the street crowds reflected its influences. The change is appar ent to even the most casual observer. Morality is 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 so successful In ridding Atlanta of vice. Dr. Stelzle declared the city could not continue to be morally clean unless present conditions are made more attractive to the average man. Glean, wholesome recreation In declared to be the best solution of the problem. “I would suggest the appointment <»f u. 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 it* 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 arc here COUld, however, he 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.
