PRESIDENT IS DENOUNCED
ON FLOOR OF U. S. SENATE
WASHINGTON, July 24—On the
floor of the Senate to-day Senator
Works, of California, denounced Pres
ident Wilson for influencing: tariff leg
islation in the summing up of a
speech on the tariff bill pending be
fore the Senate.
“The tendency of latter-day poli
tic* is to exalt the executive at the
expense of the legislative and judicial
power of the Government, and make
the President the master and ruler of
them all, and the master and not the
servant-of the whole people,” said the
Senator.
“It is an unwarranted and danger
ous tendency. Every public official,
however exalted, is only the servant
of the people, and should at all times
be subject to their control and sub
servient to their will in conformity to
the Constitution and laws of the coun
try, and each department of the Gov
ernment, if its institutions are to be
f reserved, must be kept within the
imitations of its powers as fixed y
the Constitution.
“If this bill is passed, it will not be
by the willing and voluntary consent
t of a majority of this body. It will be
tne result, in part, of outside influ
ence that should never enter into the
deliberations or acts of Congress. The
Constitution provides:
All legislative powers herein
granted shall be vested in a Con
gress ot the United States, which
shall consist of a Senate and
House of Representatives.
“The President is also made Com
mander-In-Chief of the army and
navy. That instrument further pro
vides that ‘the executive power shall
be vested in the President of the
United States of America.’ It is fur
ther provided: ‘He shall from time to
time give to the Congress informa
tion of the state of the Union and
recommend to their consideration such
measures as he shall judge necessary
and expedient.’
“This is the only power vested in
the President In respect of the making
of laws. There is no warrant in the
Constitution for his participaflon in
the formation or passage of laws or
the exercise of any influence on leg
islation beyond that of recommending
to the consideration of the lawmak
ing power such measures as he shall
Judge necessary or expedient.”

MONKEY WAS DRUNK.
SMITHERS, W. VA„ July 24—A
drunken monkey belonging to George
Smith, went on a rampage and after
killing a bulldog, so severely chewed
up Smith’s hand that he was forced
to have it amputated.
Smith gave a party and the mon
key had come in for hi- share of
refreshments. After the guests de
parted the monkey evinced a desire
for another drink. Smith refused.
The bulldog then sprang at the
Simian, but the latter jumped on the
dog’s back and with his claws soon
blinded him, then sank his teeth into
the neck, killing him.
Smith suffered his injuries in his
efforts to subdue his pet.

ORDER OF COMMISSION
SAVES PUBLIC $42,000,000
WASHINGTON, July 24.—The an-
swer of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to the application of the rail
roads east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers
for permission to make a general in
crease of 5 per cent in freight rates,
will be as follows:
1. The application will be denied.
2. All railroads will be ordered to
discontinue making “allowances” to
certain favored big industrial com
binations.
This will save the general public
from paying the additional $42,000,000
a year which the railroads are asking
for and deprive certain big industrial
corporations of a sum ranging be
tween $50,000,000 and $100,000,000 an
nually.
The Commission during the past
few* months has secretly made an in
vestigation to determine just the ex
tent to which the practice of making
“allowances’* to industrial short line
railroads, owned by manufacturing
concerns, Is prevalent.
It is now in possession of the
names of the concerns which receive
these “allowances” or rebates, or dis
criminatory rates—and in addition it
has the names of the railroads which
pay them, the amounts received by
the favored industrial corporations
and something of the extent to which
the practice injures the competing
manufacturers, who are not in a po
sition to enter Into such arrange
ments.
In a large number of instances, it Is
claimed, the practice amounts to ex
tortion. The railroads are compelled
by the demands of competition to
make allowances to the manufacturer
for transferring his product over his
own insignificant trackage to the
junction where the regular railroad
t^fces up his cars. Where several
railroads are bidding tor such a man
ufacturer’s business the one which
makes the most liberal allowance

MUTINOUS CONVICTS TRY
TO BURN PENITENTIARY
OSSINNING, N. Y., July 24.—Mu-
tinous convicts, in open rebellion
against their keepers^ to-day made an
attempt to destroy the entire Sing
Sing prison property by fire.
They set fire to the clothing manu
facturing building, in which all the
?hoes, clothing and like articles arc
made. The fire was extinguished by
the prison fire department after it had
swept the shoeshop.
The entire penal population is be
ing kept under lock in fear of further
outbreaks.
The attempt to burn the prison
building came early to-day after a
night of wild excitement in the prison.
When the warden, James H. Clan-
cey, was told of the threats, he di
rected that no prisoners, excepting
the trusties, should be allowed out of
their cells. It is believed that some
of the trusties, acting under orders A
their imprisoned fellows, applied the
match to the clothing factory build
ing.
As the fire raged the criminals be
hind locked doors set up a terrific din.
They shouted “fire,” called vile names,
beat their doors and made the prison
hideous with noise.
“We want Kennedy,” came the
constant chant above the din.
This protest against the removal of
the former warden, who was indicted
by the Westchester County Granl
Jury, was the keynote of the entire
rebellion that for 36 hours has had
the State’s largest penal institution in
a state of mutiny.
All night long the convicts kept up
their riotous demonstration. They
made the food the first basis of com
plaint. They contemptuously tossed
away bits of food and went to their
cells surly and disobedient.
Guards are on duty to-day all along
the prison walls, the officers fearin?
that the sullen convicts may make a
concerted effort to escape.
Seeking to relieve the perilous sit
uation at the prison, Warden Clancey
this afternoon made arrangements
with the railroad to take 200 second
and third term prisoners to Auburn
to-morrow. With these riotous pris
oners out of the way, the warden be
lieves he can restore order in the in
stitution.
PAROLES RECOMMENDED.
Paroles for Julian Hawthorne and
Dr. William J. Morton. ex-Treasurer
of the United States, who have been
serving sentences in the Federal Pen
itentiary for misuse of the mails in a
stock scheme, were recommended on
Thursday in a report submitted by
the Federal Pardon Board to Attorney
General McReynolds.
The recommendation in respect to
Hawthorne and Morton had been
agreed upon by the Pardon Board
since their meetings at the Federal
prison some time ago. but they have
withheld their report, as is the cus
tom, until the prisoners named are
eligible to parole.
PREMIER IS ATTACKED.
MORLEY, YORKSHIRE, ENG
LAND, July 24.—Premier Asquith
was again attacked by suffragettes
to-day. While he was proceeding to
the town hall to receive the freedom
of the borough a woman ran scream
ing to his autcmobile and threw pack
age after package of papers at the
Premier.
The police rushed to the Premier’s
rescue and after a desperate struggle
the woman was arrested. She was
Miss Hey Jones, a well-known sym
pathizer with the cause.
GEORGIA’S TAX SYSTEM
ARRAIGNED BY GOVERNOR
LA GRANGE, July 24—Member*
of the Georgia Weekly Press Associa
tion left LaGrange this morning for
Brunswick, still discussing Governor
John Marshall Slaton’s scathing ar
raignment of Georgia’s tax system at
the annual banquet of the association
Wednesday night. The Governor ap
pealed to the editors for aid in what
he declared to be the most serious
financial crisis in the history of thfe
State. He said that Georgia’s tax
system and reckless spending by the
Legislature have brought about pres
ent conditions, when the State find*
itself unable to pay its school-teach
ers.
“We must admit It Is indefensible
to maintain a system that pay? it*
teachers a year after their work hds
been performed,” Governor Slaton
said. "It is pleasant to spend money
and hard to make it. We love to ap
propriate, yet shrink from the tax
levy. In two years, the Treasurer
says, we have spent nearly three-
quarters of a million more than our
income. The teachers—patient and
hard-working—teaching during the
day and working examinations at
night—molding the characters and
training the mind? of those upon
whom our civilization depends—under
our system find no ray of hope from
the injustice they suffer.
“While unpleasant to do. I have
recommended a levy—an extra tax of
1 mill for 1915, and 1-2 mill in 1916, a*
the brave way to get relief. The tax
payer will find it the best trade he
ever made. It would prevent the im
position of drastic taxing laws, the
deficit in the treasury would be satis
fied, the State could say to purcha?er»
of her bond? that she is on a solid
financial basis, her teachers would be
paid, and the kiting policy, which is
opposed to all sound principle, would
be abolished.”
Governor Slaton emphatically de
clared himself in favor of the plan of
equalization of taxes that has been
recommended by the Legislature.
“Is not equalization just that re
quires all to pay the same percent
age?” he asked. “Is it right that one
many pays on 16 per cent of the value
of his property when another pays on
40? An increase of 20 per cent, by
simply equalizing the burden, not in
creasing that of him who is already
bearing his part, would produce an
abundance of revenue for every legiti
mate purpose.”
The editors will arrive at Bruns
wick this afternoon and enjoy an out
ing of several days in that city and
at St. Simons Island, where the Sec
ond Georgia Infantry is in camp.

NEW YORK, July 24.—The Gov

SHE “CUT HIM OUT.” .
WHEELING, W. VA., July 24-
War, or Sherman’s equivalent for it,
“hath no fury like a woman scorned,
Harry Pendleton mournfully confides
to his friends.
Pendleton had been engaged to Des-
sie McIntyre for two years, when he
met Henrietta Aiken, a Bridgeport,
Ohio, belle. He fell a willing conquest
and Miss McIntyre was peeved, but
not without hope. She went cupid
one better by going to Bridgeport,
cutting her hair short, donning the
clothes of a modern Beau Brummel
and “cutting out” Pendleton in mas
terly fashion. Then she doffed her
masquerade.
Pendleton refuses to say w’hether
or not Miss Allien has permitted him
to resume his courtship.
