THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, IMS

Fifth Maryland Regiment Enter
tains Georgians on Return Visit
With Lavish Hospitality.
BALTIMORE, MD„ May 21.—The
Gate City Guard of Atlanta, Geor
gia’s crack "Old Guard,” is the guest
of Baltimore and the Fifth Maryland
Regiment to-day. The Georgians ar
rived here from Washington at 9
o'clock this morning and found Bal
timore awaiting them with open arms.
Jn the entertainment of the Atlanta
guardsmen, the Baltimore of to-day
is striving to outdo the Baltimore of
yesterday, which entertained the same
t-eglment in 1879 when, while on its
famous mission of peace. Baltimore
,was one of the Northern cities vis
ited.
The Atlantans were met at the sta
tion to-day by a committee from the
Fifth Maryland Regiment, which has
personal charge of them during their
stay in Baltimore. It was the Fifth
Regiment which, as the representa
tives of Baltimore, took part in the
peace jubilee held in Atlanta in Oc
tober, 1911.
Major Burke in Command.
With Major Joseph F. Burke at
their head—the same Colonel Burke
who led the “Old Guard’’ when Bal
timore was first visited—the Atlan
tans marched from the station to the
Fifth Regiment Armory. At 1 o’clock
luncheon was served in the head
quarters room. At 2 o’clock the vis
itors with members of the staff of the
Fifth embarked on electric cars for
Annapolis. Arriving there an hour
later the Georgians were shown
.through the United States Naval
Academy and witnessed tests of the
navy’s fleet of hydroplanes and a drill
by the cadet corps. They will also
inspect the cadet corps of St. John’s
College, a military institution found
ed in 1689, and will be entertained by
Governor Goldsborough at the State
House.
Drill and Reception.
Returning to Baltimore at 5 o’clock
the "Old Guard” will repair to the
Caswell Hotel, their headquarters, and
then return at 8 o’clock* to the fifth
iffegimeut Armory, .’where there will
be a .battalichj drill in their honor. At
*0 o’-clock a public- reception will be
in order at Which all Baltimoreans are
invited to meet the visitors.
The Old Guard will spend the night
at the Caswell and will leave early
to-morrow for Philadelphia to par
ticipate in the centenary celebration
of the Pennsylvania State Fencibles.
t Roses “Made in Washington.”
/in whimpers the members of the Old
Guard are telling a rather amusing
story to-day of the presentation to
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson of a garland
of roses from her old home in Rome.
Bong before leaving Georgia it was
decided that a rather pretty tribute
to the First Lady in the Land would
be a garland of roses from her old
Georgia home. But when Washing
ton was reached it was found that
the. Rome roses had withered away
and lost their fragrance. A consul
tation was held, a Pennsylvania Ave
nue florist was pressed into service
and shortly afterwards Mrs. Wilson
became the recipient of roses "from
her old home,” but which were strict
ly "made in Washington.”

President's Plan for Free Sugar
and Wool Line-up Fought
by Twelve Democrats.
WASHINGTON, May 21.—The plan
of President Wilson to insure the
passage through the Senate of the
tariff bill as adopted by the House
is to have it rPcMve the party O. K.
in a secret caucus.
Ever since the official announce
ment was made at the White House
that the President would accept no
Compromise on free sugar and wool
members of the Finance Committee,
acting under orders, have been en
deavoring to line up party forces in
support of the caucus plan.
Senator Newlands said yesterday
that a dozen Democratic Senators
stood ready to vote for amendments
placing a small duty on sugar and
wool. The Nevada Senator Is the
backbone of the fight against free
sugar and wo61.
Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana, ex
presses opposition to the caucus
plan. He said that If Senators whose
people are interested in the produc
tion of sugar and wool want thgg^ in-„
terests treated justly those Senators
could not attend a caucus that was
Intended to be binding upon the par-*
ty. -j * J
A binding caucus is something en
tirely new in the Senate and was
never proposed until President Wil
son began his effort to dictate what
the Senate shall do.
Senators Ransdell and Thornton,
of Louisiana, Newlands, of Nevada,
and Walsh, of Montana, will not at
tend the caucus, or, if they do, will
have it understood they will not be
bound.
Senator Newlands will not disclose
the names of the twelve Democrats
he has counted. To do so, he says,
would needlessly expose them to the
assaults of the Administration and
bring White House pressure to bear
upon them .
It is said, however, 'that they may
attend the caucus declaring it to be
their purpose to treat it as a "con
ference." not binding upon the indi
vidual Judgment of any Senator, but
merely for the purpose of discussing
the disputed question out of heering
of the general public.
High Rates on Necessities.
The Senate Finance Committee in
1 going through the House bill have
found some very odd things, viewed
from the Democratic viewpoint. Al-
j though the Underwood bill was hailed
j as a measure intended to reduce the
' cost of living, in several instances
very high rates of duty have been
! placed upon the necessities of life.
For some unexplained reason, upon
Uue three items of vanilla beans from
^^Vhich flavoring extracts are made,
and pepper and cloves, the House
i Committee has levied tribute upon
I the American people to the extent of
i $650,000 a year. These and other
! spices for years have been kept c n
| the free list. They are not produced
this country and are admittedly ar-
necessity. The Senate Com
mittee will put them all back on the
free list.
Another inconsistency in the House
bill the Senate Committee was quick
to see was the discrepancy in the
rates on rice. This was reduced to
one cent a pound on cleaned rice.
Meal or broken rice was reduced to
one-eighth of a cent a pound. Sound
rice can easily be broken or ground
into meal to receive this small duty.
Practically all the rice meal im
ported, aggregating 120,000.000 pounds
annually, valued at $1,900,000. is used
in the manufacture of beer. This rate,
which is negligible, will be of great
benefit to the brewers of the country
The Senate Committee will increase
this duty.

Will Not Retain Duty on Com
modities When It Is Taken Off
Manufactured Article.
WASHINGTON. May 21. Raw ma
terial will be placed on the free list
of the Underwood tariff bill in all in
stances in which the House deter
mines to place manufactured products
on the free list. A radical program of
this nature has been decided upon by
the subcommittees of the Senate Fi
nance Committee.
This change which permeates all
sections of the bill is understood to
have begun with wheat. The House
placed flour on the free list, but made
wheat dutiable. Western millers
brought strong political pressure to
bear to have wheat placed on the free
list in order to meet the native com
petition.
As soon as this change was agreed
to further pressure was brought to
bear to apply the principle to the en
tire bill with the result that ferro
manganese. also will be placed on Uje
free list. This represents a victory
for the independent steel manufac
turers.
Barley, rye and other agricultural
products are affected. Cattle also
will go on the free list.
These changes before becoming ef
fective must be submitted to the full
committee and afterward to the Sen
ate. The amendments are of such
considerable effect that the revenue
feature must be taken into consid
eration and the effect of the enlarged
free list on revenue may determine
whether the entire radical program
will stand.
