THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, MONDAY. MAY 12, 1913.
DEMAND HEAL
Makeshift Written Into Wilson-
Underwood Bill Arouses
Bitter Opposition.
WASHINGTON. May 1*.—Genuine
reciprocity, and not the makeshift
written into the WilsonDnderwood
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
ko in rewriting: the sections of the
House bill to make it conform to
what they believe the underlying:
principle of ail reciprocal agreement*
should be.
Chairman Simmons, of the Finance
Committee, and Senator Hoke Smith,
on® of the moat influential member*
of the committee, have ®xprese®d
their adherence to the dootrine 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 rites would be
so arranged that the President would
have an effective weapon at his com
mand to oomi»ei 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
if the demand of l*r**sident 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 th** cost of production here
and abroad in tlxlng their rates. A
number of articles that have been put
on the free list will he shifted back
to the dutiable, and a few articles
made dutiable in the House will be
made free. Dye stuffs and pigments
art 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-
ts of subsequent reductions under
reciprocal trade agreements in line
with the real Democratic tariff Idea
Senator Smith, of Michigan, buses
caustic criticisms on the sugar sched
ule, the manufacture of beef sugar
bring a great industry of hl» State.
“After the trust has run its com -
pet 1 tors 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 fhis in the dark and gloom
of a secret chamber."
Can’t Lose "Wilson.**
[Police Hold Mob
Bent on Lynching
[ Negroe* Threaten to Take Black
Slayer of Negro Boy From
Three County Officers.
Member* of the County Pollue De
partment are Monday congratulating
Lieutenant J. M. Carrol) and Police
men J W. William* and ],. W. Allen
on Ihelr escape from a mob of 200
negroe*, who Sunday afternoon
threatened their lives when they re
fused to hand over Doc Burnett, Uie
negro slayer of a fifteen-year-old col
ored boy, Charlie Simon. The mob
war bent on lynching Burnett.
The mob approached the nffleera
on the Marietta Itoud as they were
waiting for * street car to take their
prisoner to the Tower.
"We are going to get thal nigger
even If we have io kill you,” the lead
er* shouted to Lieutenant <’arroll-
"He Stabbed Hinton In cold blood and
we are going to string him up."
The officers drew their revolver*
and took ihelr position* ready lo j
fight to a finish. The negroe* re- !
tired.
Burnett, In Hie Tower, later de
clared the trouble had been caueed
by an argument about a girl. Eye
witnesses though. d*cl*rsd Burnett
drew a knife and stabbed the boy
without provocation. He died before
medical aid could reach him.
STELZLE URGES
Senator Smith says it is singular
that all the Democratic tariff bill*
looking to free trad* bore ih<* name
of Wilson.
“1 saw Bryan help carry WilUam
1.. Wilson on his shoulder from the
house on tho day of his 'groat tri
umph.' It was not very long before
those same shoulders carried a weight
► • heavy that it has taken twenty
years t<» regain the confidence of th*--
people.
“1 don’t believe that prosperity uan
continue under this law'. In your
hearts you don’t believe it or you
would not be so worried as you are.
J: 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.

Called From Bride
By ‘Irritable Papa’
Costa Rican. Parting From Canadian
Girl, Explains, ‘Father Kills
Men Whin He’s Angry.’
NEW YORK. Ma> 12.—A cable
gram from the bridegroom’s father
containing the word "scoundrel"
caused Theodore f-tonsalea, of Bari
Jose. Costs Rica, to part from ids
bride of a few hours, who was Mias
Maxine Bcagrave. of Toronto, aftei
they had boarded the steamer c#r-
rliio for a honeymoon trip to Central
America
Gonzales explained to his bride
that his father was Irritable at
times, in fact, he had once killed a
man when Irritated, and the young
man thought it best that he go to
Fort Union alone and meet his fa
ther.
Dr Charles Htelzle, of New York,
who will he one of the big figures in
the Presbyterian assemble- 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. But he Insisted that re
form go further that tlie ojty name
a recreation commission to provide
amusements to take the place of
harmful forms of recreation, recog
(lifted as contributory to vice condi
tions
Dr. Htelzle said he did not wish to
detract in the slightest measure from
the great work already accomplish-
ftd, 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 ol
the work," declared Dr. Htelzle. ‘From
my observations during the few days
that I have been in the city, 1 do not
hesitate to sav Atlanta is now one
of the most moral cities in the Houth.
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 ho organized should have
been tn successful iri ridding Atlanta
of vice, Dr. Htelzle declared the city
could not continue to be morally
clean unless present conditions are
made more attractive to tlie average
man. < 'loan, wholesome recreation lie
declared to be the best solution <»f
the problem.
"I would suggest the appointment of
e recreation commission.” he said
“This commission ahoud be comported
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.
Tli# 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 be thor
oughly advertised and the people
should be urged to attend.
Phone Report Inconclusive.

the Valdosta Chamber of Conirmu «*

an inconclusive report.
