5 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, MAY 12, 1012. DEMAND REAL Makeshift Written Into Wilson- Underwood Bill Arouses Bitter Opposition. WASHINGTON, May 12.—Genuine reciprocity, and not the makeshift written into the WllsontTnderwood bill, Senators 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 g:o 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 most influential members of the committee, have expressed 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 has 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, by Democratic votes, 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. In 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 be too low and will be raised. All these changes afford opportuni ty of subsequent, reductions under reciprocal trade agreements in line w ith the real Democratic tariff idea. Senator Smith, of Michigan, bases caustic criticisms «n the sugar sched ule, the manufacture of beef sugar being a great industry of his 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 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. “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 so heavy that it has 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 be -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. THE PLAYS. THIS WEEK “Are You a Mason?” at Atlanta. ThSs week's offering at the ALUnta Theater by the Miss Billy Long Com pany, “Are You a Mason?” will be given its first performance at a matinee this afternoon.

HAT » MAST RIOTS T T3 INSURANCE Damage Already Reaches Into Millions—Golf Links Are Pro tected Against Loss. LONDON, May 12.—Inquiries insti tuted at Lloyd’s have developed the fact that the insurance companies are reaping a golden harvest as a result of suffiflagette depredations. Busi ness has received a great impetus both from the Insurance of golf links as well as from fire risks. Numerous golf clubs have insured against revenue losses as the result of militant interference, while others have taken out policies insuring golf greens against damage by suffra gettes. The premiums charged are ?5 per green per annum, the limit of the underwriters* liability being $250 on each green. These insurances, however, were mostly for three months, because it is believed that the trouble will be settled in that time either by a tri umph of the militants or by the sup pression of their campaign. Insurance against fire has been equally brisk, but owing to the great competition in this business rates have not been affected. Damage to Date $5,000,000. Estimates of *he financial loss caused by suffragette outrages, pre pared for the Home Secretary, put the amount as $5,000,000. This sum does not include the expense of employing large numbers of extra police, detec tives and watchmen, to protect Minis ters, public buildings and meetings. Three detectives have been assigned to protect each Cabinet Minister at all times. All suspected persons^are shad owed by plainclothes men and all pub lic buildings are under special guard. Since the defeat of the woman suf frage bill large numbers of former constitutional suffragists have joined the militant movement. An attack on the House of Lords is one of the new plans, and this is to be accomplished by means of a suffragette typist who could get a position on the reporting staff of the upper house. Arrests Check Riots. In spite of the sensational outrages of the past week and although the militants are keeping up a strong bluff, their organization has been shaken by recent arrests of leaders. The militant acts now’ being commit ted are the handiwork of suffragettes working Independently, and the au thorities believe that the removing* of the central controlling influences will soon break up the campaign of de struction. This optimistic view is not shared by politicians generally, who believe that as long as money is forthcoming crimes will be committed. Old Ireland Forever!
