I 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.

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.
