6 Til K OKOKGIAN’S NEWS BK1EES NEWS OF THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1913 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.” A NNA HELD and her dia mond stockings The New York musical comedy star is appearing in a London music hall and setting a new and expensive fashion with her gem-studded hosiery.

Smith suffered his injuries in his efforts to subdue his pet. Wi M I A ■ U Ate Nt W vW w HEADLESS BODY FOUND.

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 mutiny fratghL 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.

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.
