WITHOUT RECIPROCITY
WASHINGTON, July 22.—When
the Senate met to-day the tariff de
bate was resumed, and Senator
Smoot, of Utah, completed the ad
dress he began yesterday. He attack
ed first the action of the Democrats
in placing meats, cattle, hides, wool,
etc., on the free list, declaring that
such action is only playing into the
hands of the “beef barons" and throt
tling competition.
The importation of meats and cat
tle free of duty, he said, will give a
tremendous advantage to Canada,
Mexico and Argentina at the expense
of the American farmer.
8care6 Auto Rate Cut.
Senator Smoot argued that the
chief advocates of the low rates of
tariff, both before the House and the
Senate, have been the importers. Of
reduced duties upon automobiles,
Senator Smoot said:
“Just why the European manufac
turers should have any consideration
in fixing this or any other duty is be
yond the comprehension of any fair-
minded American citizen. But they
figure very extensively in this fixing
of the rates on automobiles, occupy.-
ing many pages of the hearings, and
filing threats which, if made else
where by Americans, would be con
sidered insolent."
Gave More Than Asked.
He added that the Italian Chamber
of Commerce in New York had ask
ed merely for a reduction of 5 per
cent on automobiles, hut that the
Democrats had conceded 15 per cent.
In the cotton schedule, Senator
Smoot insisted that the Northern
manufacturers had been discriminat
ed against and the Southern produc
ers had been favored. The Northern
manufacturers make the finer grades
of goods, he said. He declared that
American mill workers must com
pete with the cheap Asiatic labor of
Japan In manufacturing cotton goods.
Says Trusts Won’t Suffer.
American clock and watch manu
facturers, manufacturers of window
glass, of pottery and of gloves, all are
treated harshly by the proposed law,
said Senator Smoot. The action of
the Democrats, he said, meant the
loss of work to thousands employed
at present in these industries
•TW. first Industries to suffer from
this bill will not be the great trusts,
but the independent manufacturers
having small capital and making
goods requiring the highest type of
workmanship,” he said.
Electric Vote Device

WASHINGTON. July 32 —The House

Mutinous Swiss Soldiers Threat
en to Break Into Private
Chamber of Pontiff-
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ROME. July 22.—After 24 hours of
wild, rioting by the Pope’s Swiss
guards, during which the men were
shorn of their military powers at the
Vatican, order was restored to-day.
The demands of the soldiers, which
caused the mutiny, will not be grant
ed. The soldiers had asked conces
sions raising the embargo against
them visiting wine shops and other
stores along the Tiber; the right to
choose their own commander; the In
crease of the guards’ quota, and a
demand that no punishment be meted
out to them for their mutinous con
duct.
The guards, incensed at the official
order depriving them of their military
status, stormed the Vatican, and for a
time it was feared that the Italian
troops quartered In the city would
have to be called out to quell the dis
turbance.
Great alarm was felt among the
Vatican officials for fear that the sol
diers would force their way into the
Pope’s private chambers.
Drastic measures were taken to
guard His Holiness from the angry
soldiers, as* grave fears were enter
tained that the Pontiff, still weakened
from the effects of his recent illness,
would suffer a relapse should the
soldiers force their way Into his pres
ence.
What punishment will be meted to
the mutineers still Is undecided, but
it was unofficially stated that severe
penalties would be inflicted.

Telegrams Monday ordered John

The Georgian and American will
give away after the close of its con
test, July 31.
Within a few days, the special car
bringing the Shetlands should ar
rive. According to the expert who
went to Winnsboro and picked them
out, they are a feast for the eyes.
Mr. Mobley has a plantation of
1,400 acres. Of this area, 450 acres
of wood lot are used as a pony farm.
Just now, he has 100 head of ponies,
which have been roaming the woods
and the rich pasture, and, these hot
days, seeking the shady tangles.
The Georgian and American were
offered their pick of the entire five
score ponies. Twenty negroes,
mounted on mules, started at 8
o’clock in the morning to round them
up. By 1 o’clock they had the 100
little fellows on the summit of a hill
where Mr. Mobley Is accustomed to
give them salt. From this knoll
they were driven to the pens, and
the best fifteen were selected. All
are sound, gentle, affectionate and
well trained. They vary sufficiently
in markings, colors and size to please
all tastes. Perhaps the pick of the
hunch is "Flash,” who looks like a
race horse, and is as fast as his
name.
Every one of the ponies is worth
well above $100, and with each goes
a guarantee of good health and free
dom from blemish.
If the boys and girls are enthusi
astic about the ponies already in At
lanta, they will he . wildly excited
over the newcomers, it is predicted,
for they are believed to be, if any
thing, a little better than those first
purchased.

er emphatically denied Tuesday that
they had had anything to do with
them and defied the police to prove
their charges.
The detectives went to the home of
Reeves, 13 Stonewall street, and there
found three suit cases, which, they
say, are stolen property. Another suit
case was found in a woman’s room at
No. 153 1-2 Whitehall street.
Chief Lanford Tuesday morning
said that Reeves and Miller had stolen
more than 40 suit cases at the depots
in the recent weeks, and also had
participated in attempts at safe
cracking and burglary. Detectives
Chewning, Davis, Sturdivant and
Rosser have taken turns in trailing
the men in the last six weeks.
Scared by Clock.
About six weeks ago, Chief Dan-
ford says, they planned to burglarize
the Barfield store on West Hunter
street, near Chestnut. They are said
to have had an expert safe-blower
with them at the time. They were
Just gaining an entrance to the store,
according to the police, when an
alarm clock In a negro’s house near
by rang and scared them away. De
tectives were only a few feet away
and were watching the whole opera
tion.
With a pal, they went to the Gober
store at about 11 o’clock last night.
Davis was asked to go in and serve
them with soft drinks. As the young
man neared the cash register, he was
felled by a blow from a club in Mil
ler’s hand. He was quickly bound and
hurried to the ice box. The lights
were extinguished and the three start
ed at work on the safe with a large
key which was taken from Davis.
The detectives, who had been lying
in wait for the trio, noted the sud
denness with which the lights went
out and rushed .for the building. Mil
ler, standing on the outside with the
club still in his hand, was overpow
ered before he could utter a word.
The detectives rushed inside and
after a hand-to-hand batle with
Reeves slipped the manacles on his
wrist. The third member of the gang
escaped by diving through a window.
The police say they know his identi
ty and will be able to arrest him.

Grief of Forgiveness Displayed
When Effie McCalmon Meets
Parent and Brother.
The grief of forgiveness was pa
thetically displayed in Chief of Po
lice Beavers’ office Tuesday morning
when Effie McCalmon, the country-
girl from near Carrollton, arrested
Monday with Dr. M. W. Lewis, a
prominent physician of that town,
in a raid on the Scoville Hotel, met
her father and brother, and begged to
be taken home.
The girl’s pathetic plight was more
than the irate father and brother
could endure. Simultaneously they
clasped her in their arms. Then she
was taken by them in an automobile
to the station. The trio departed at
11 o’clock for home.
J. M. McCalmon, father of the girl,
a prominent planter, and his son
Emory, ticket agent at Bowden Junc
tion. both told Chief Beavers they
would return when the physician’s
case comes up to prosecute Lewis to
the full extent of the law. They also
declared they would bring the girl
back to Atlanta and let her tell her
story to the court.
“This man has cast shame on my
home which can never be forgotten,"
declared the father. “He has blighted
my daughter’s future. Restitution by
punishment of the law is a poor sub
stitute, but I will have It.”
Lewis was released Monday night,
after he had secured the $1,000 bond
under which he was bound over by
Judge Broyles during the afternoon.
Immediately afterward he disappear
ed.
Lewis and the girl were registered
at the Hotel as man and wife.
