ii—W-a THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TO OLD GUARD 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. ( ln the entertainment of the Atlanta guardsmen, the Baltimore of to-day is striving to outdo the Baltimore of yesterday, which entertained the same regiment 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- , lives 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 Regiment Armory, where there will be a battalion drill in their honor. At 10 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. Roses “Made in Washington.” In whispers 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. Long 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- t tation was held, a Pennsylvania Ave- hue florist w r as 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.” 8;c 5c 49c LEBY’S 25c Lemon Cling Peaches; Rose- dale Brand . . 10c Can Georgia Cane Syrup . . .

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 receive 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 member® 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 wool. 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 those in terests treated justly those Senators could not attend a caucus that was Intended to be binding upon the par ty. 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 hearing of the general public. High Rates on Necessities. The Senate Finance Committee in going through the House bill have found some very odd things, viewed from the Democratic viewpoint. Al though the Underwood bill was hailed 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 the three items of vanilla beans from which flavoring extracts are made, and pepper and cloves, the House Committee has levied tribute upon the American people to the extent of $650,000 a year. These and other spices for years have been kept on the free list. They are not produced in this country and are admittedly ar ticles of 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 bo 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 jthis duty. BL0CKADERS MAKE CROPS BEFORE GOING TO PRISON ROME, GA., May 21.—Several mountaineers have been convicted in the United States Court this week of illicit distilling and in each case they have been sentenced to serve straight sentences in jails. Judge Newman, however, decided to let their terni^ begin on October 1. They will be al lowed to go home and make their crops and then report for sentence on the date named.

Bryan's Peace Talk displaced Idealism’ LONDON, May 21.—The London Daily Mail in an edi torial tauntR Secretary Bryan with “misplaced idealism’’ in his peace declarations. “Mr. Bryan forgot Cali fornia and forgot Japan,” says the Moil. “The truth is Mr. Bryan and the Japanese Government are now faced by one of those fundamental issues which cannot, be settled by clap trap or pacifist talk. * • * It would be as well for the American Secretary to remember that he who de clares nothing will force him to fight is inviting his op ponents to drive him into a position where it would be difficult for him to keep the peace.” ODDITIES ■—in the— DAY’S NEWS LEGAL STANDARD OF MODES TY.—The banning of the “pantaloon gown’* and “silt skirt” is the object of a resolution introduced by Coun cilman W.

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 product® 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 miller® 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 tbo en tire bill with the result that ferro manganese also will be placed on the free list This represents a victory for the independent steel manufSw>- 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.
