Montana Man Makes Set Speech
Approving the Democratic
Tariff Measure.
LO UI SI AN AN S HOLDING OUT
Duties on Wood Arranged to Give
Preference to South, Ohioan
Points Out.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Senator
Walsh, of Montana, who fought bit
terly to the end in the Democratic
caucus against free wool and free
sugar, and whose position with re
gard to the bill was considered in
doubt for some time, in a set speech
to-day approved the Underwood-
Simmons measure. He very careful
ly avoided making any argument in
favor of free sugar or wool, but en
deavored to show that placing them
upon the ^re e list would not destroy
the industries.
Senator Walsh reached the conclu
sion that the retirement of sheep from
grazing would convert those lands
into farms and their increase in value
for such purposes would more than
offset the loss on the abandonment
of the sheep-growing industry. To
those who did not give up sheep
raising the reduction in the num
ber^ raised would increase the value
of the sheep both for wool and as
a food product, he said.
So far as sugar is concerned, Sen
ator Walsh expressed the opinion
that the beet sugar growers could
live under free trade.
Thornton Asks Question.
When he had concluded. Senator
Thornton, of .Louisiana, who sat near,
arose and asked the Senator, with
sarcasm, “Has the Senator become a
convert to free wool and free sugar
since July 10, when the caucus voted
against his contentions on this sub
ject?”
“The Senator will note,” replied
Walsh with some, evidences of heat,
“that I have made no argument in
favor of placing these articles on the
free list—merely that the industries
will not be destroyed.” /
“Humph!” ejaculated Senator
Thornton, as he turned on his heel
and strode back to his own desk.
The metal schedule was passed
over to-day owing to the absence of
Senators Penrose and Oliver, both of
whom are interested in this schedule.
The wool schedule was considered
during the closing hours of the ses
sion. Senator Burton pointing out a
number of features to the Democrats.
Want Early Sessions.
Chairman Simmons, in an effort to
speed things, asked Senator Gallinger
if he would agree to daily sessions
commencing at 11 o’clock. The Re
publican leader said he would take it
under advisement. Other Democrats
suggested meeting at 10 o’clock and
som e that night sessions be held. At
this, Republicans raised their eye
brows in surprise, looked ominously
across the aisles, but made no reply.
Mr. Simmons saw the gathering
storm and hurriedly suggested that
the time for such hours had not yet
arrived. No agreement was reached.
Senator-elect Broussard was noti
fied by telegraph to-day that Louis-
ianans would indorse at a mass meet
ing at New Iberia to-night the oppo
sition of Senators Thornton and
Ransdell to the Wilson-Underwood
tariff bill. Mr. Broussard telegraphed:
“I approve in every w r ay the pur
pose of the meeting. Our Senators
are fighting to prevent the destruc
tion of the sugar cane industry, the
most important industry in our State.
We see at the present time so many
before elections are held good only
pledges made before nomination and
to be broken, that it is refreshing to
know that good persons do not sub
scribe to this modern method of deal
ing with the public.
“It seems there are many persons
who contend seriously that pledges
made to the people, whereby one has
secured election to high office, are
not to be considered after one’s com
mission has been issued, and that
such high official must be responsive
to the caucus will of his party and
never to pledges made to his peo
ple.”
Piquant, Care-Free Expression Is
Gone, but There Is Now
Deep Philosophy.
Latest photograph of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw taken with her son,
who accompanied her back from Europe. She is to begin an
American \audeville engagement soon.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2.—When Eve-
Dm Xrsbit Thaw returned to the
United States a day or two ago, to
appear on the stage where alt who
know her story may see her at sit
much per head, the press agents gave
out various interviews intended to
help box of flee reeeipts. Hut to Mary
Hoyle (VReilly Mrs. Thaw gave her J
only real interview, told of the things
next th her heart, of the philosophy
of life she herself had learned from
dark experience.
In the following interview she tells
frankly what she thought when Miss
O'Reilly asked her just as frankly.
"Docs it pay?*'
BY MARY DOYLE O’REILLY.
Evelyn Nesbit, center and incen
tive of the world-famous Thaw
scandal, greeted me with a prim
little nod. Her transparent orange
muslin gown enipha>ized a girlish
figure, slight to the point of frail
ty. No longer Incontestiblv beauti
ful. her hazel eyes, large and long
lashed, her piquant care-free fate
now subtly defiant, give her still a
beauty of ihe footlights and the
studio.
The hotel’s open windows admit
ted currents of humid air. Across
the street the sun smote hotly on a
gilded uign reading “Working Wo
men’s Protective Association.”
Woman Must Work.
“You see. I’ve come back to
where 1 should have started,” said
•Miss Nesbit, who is Mrs. Harry K.
Thaw who was. “Goodness knows
I hav- been through a great deal,
lived a great many tremendous ex-
I erl mces. And I’ve learned this:
In order to do anything proper a
woman must wohk; she can not
Just play.
“The great trouble with Broad
way is that it looks like a play
ground to the young girl from Osh
kosh or Kalamazoo. As a matter of
fact, with the illusion of childhood
still upon one. it is impossible to
realize, impossible for the young
girl to see things as they actually
are. Knowledge comes only
through experience. And then It is
usually too late.”
Pausing Miss Nesbit laughed,
not a pleasant laugh, although the
red lips disclosed two rows of pear
ly teeth. Troublous years have not
dealt lightly with “Flossie, the Fuss
of the Florodora Sextette.”
Grace and carriage and exagger
ated clothes do not always conceal
the ravages wrought by passage
along “the easiest way.” The
pleading eyes have grown shrewd,
the large, uniform mouth has
coarsened, the girlish ingenuous
ness has become cynical.
From behind a persistent pathos
of look and manner the real Evelyn
Thaw looks at you constantly with
the furtive watchfulness of a wo
man grown suspicious cf the world.
“I am thinking of your question."
mused Miss Nes'bit. chin on open
hand. “Does It pay? Well, take
my experience for instance. Let
the average woman put herself men
tally in my place at the same age.
I was 14 when I came to New York
to make a good living for my en
tire family. Everyone knows what
happened to me—the story Is no
torious—but I am not the only one.
Many Cases Like Hers.
“Broadway is full of other girls,
some of whose stories are a thous
and times worse than mine. Do
they ‘pull out?’ That depends. It
is a survival of the fittest. No wo
man with ambition can burn the
candle at both ends and make any
progress, neither on the stage nor
anywhere el*e. Hundreds of them
go down—down. They figure among
‘the missing.’ No need to ask them
if it pays.
“Perhaps one in ten marries—
it is a case of good luck when they
do. They are glad to disappear,
thankful to live humdrumly. Take

Goods imported from abroad through
Atlanta have increased steadily in
value for five years, and for the fiscal
year just closed reached the total of
$324,219, on which duties amounting
to $87,615.19 were paid at the Atlanta
customs office, now in charge of V. O.
Kimsey, Deputy Collector.
Importations to Atlanta, of course,
come through the seaports in bond.
They are opened here, inspected, ap
praised and the .duties collected. In
1909 their value reached $147,593. In
1910 the total was $160,802; 1911,
$252,592; in 1912, $277,471; in 1913,
$224,219.
Customs receipts in 1909 were $46,-
437.27. They increased steadily until
1913, with the exception of 1912. Last
year the new tariff caused a decrease
in duties, despite the gain in imports.
These figures are exclusive of the
mails. Much dutiable matter comes
through the foreign parcel post. In
July, 1913. alone 567 pieces of for
eign mail for Alabama and Georgia
were examined in Atlanta, and $218 in
duty was collected.
Many firms do not use the local
customs office, but pay duties at New
York or other seaports.
Offers Reward for
Slayer of Brother
Atlanta Woman Sets a Price of $200

Fugitive. ^
Miss Mary Hoopson Bramlett, No.
299 Edgewood avenue, placed with
Chief of Police Beavers Saturday
night a check for $200 to be given

Francisco.
Bramlett was slain In his restaur
ant on Market street in that city on
the night of June 16. The slayer left
no clew. Chief Beavers telegraphed
the police of San Francisco that the
reward had.been offered and suggest
ed that a similar reward be put up
by the State of California.

Mrs. Eva Dare Weary of Confinement

SAVANNAH, Aug. 2.—Weary from
her confinement in police station, Mrs.
Eva Dare quietly awaits the time when
her husband, Joe Dare, recovers in the
Savannah hospital from a bullet wound
in the breast, so that she can be placed
on trial for the shooting.
In the hospital Dare is in a serious
condition, with the prospect that he will
not live many days. The last week has
been a bad one for him, and the re
ports are that he Is growing weaker.
His condition is now considered to be

Y. W. C. A. Prepares
To Open New Home
Appeals for Household Supplies to
Complete Furnishing of Ellis
Street Quarters.
Preparations are being rushed by
the house committee of the Y. W. C.
A. to open the new association head
quarters at Nos. 12-16 Ellis street, and
it is expected that it will be in opera
tion some time this week.
To make possible the opening, how
ever, donation? in the snape of house
hold supplies are desired. The house
committee Saturday issued a state
ment making this request. In the
statement was an outline of the work
the new home, a? follows:
“The association has rented a large,
roomy building, well adapted to Its
purposes, at Nos. 12-16 Ellis street,
and is furnishing and preparing to
open it for admihistration uses, and
as. a rooming house for a clientage
very much in need of such protection.”
er when you have learned to drift
along. I think of all the girls who
lose out in the Great White Way
just because the people who care
don’t use common sense.
“They talk and talk about the
white slave business. What they
ought to do is this: When a wo
man is arrested the man should be
arrested, too, and get the same
publicity.
“It takes* two to make that bar
gain. Ii ,ias always struck me as
peculiar that the city and the State,
knowing where women get that
money, take it in open court. I
don’t question the law which puts
such women away. It may be all
right to punish them, but not to
take their money by way of fine.
Some of them were born wrong—
must of them never had a chance.
If they could earn good wages they
would—take it from me.”
Absorbed in her argument, Eve
lyn Thaw unconsciously proved her
claim. The too large ear. the thick
thumbs, the Oriental eyes, the prim
itive taste for pleasures of the
senses, all were significant stig
mata.
Intelligent, ambitious, lazy and
deeply egotistic, only an alert con
science and a training for honest
work could ever have protected
Evelyn Thaw from herself.

Impossible if the Administration cur-

R. L. Owen, of Oklahoma, chairmaq
of the Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency, to-day replied to bank-
t rs who demand to know what ad
vantages tney will gain from the bill.
Owen asserts the bill will safeguard
banks against occasional runs, give
the ordinary State hank peace of mind
against possible artificial panics, and
‘aat while the banker loses 2 per cent
on a part of his reserve deposited with
t.le Federal Reserve Bank, he actually
will make money by other advantages.
Senator Owen points out that a re
serve of 15 per cent will be sufficient
Instead of the 25 per cent now car
ried. With the same money, he as
serts. a bank of $100,000 capital woul 1
make $2,750 each year more than un
der the present law. n
In reply to the suggestion that
hankers should control the Federal
Reserve Board because they are “put
ting up all the money, lie replied that
the banks are not putting up money,
but are merely lending credit, and
that the Government is really supply
ing the money which Is not supplied
by depositors themselves.
New Method Saves
Victim of Bichloride
Water Bottles and Electric Light
Globes Rescue Woman Who
Took 110 Grains.
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 2.—Mrs. Carrie Du
bois, a 300-pound woman, who took
110 grains of bichloride of mercury
following a quarrel with her husband,
is recovering at her home, and physi
cians who have treated her think they
have discovered a cure for the poison,
although she took a large enough dose
to have killed 100 men.
The treatment consists of hot appli
cations of water bottles and electric
light globes to produce perspiration
and the injection of a saline solution
or sodium carbonate every three
hours, also pilocarpine.
Mrs. Dubois is anxious to meet Ed
ward Fischer, a photographer, who
also took the poison and is also re
covering. Mrs. Dubois took the drug
after reading in the papers of Fisch
er’s attempted suicide.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Francis B.
Sayre, chief of the abandonment bu
reau under District Attorney Whit
man, whose engagement to Miss Jes
sie Woodrow' Wilson has- been an
nounced. is strongly in favor of the
effort to pass a uniform desertion
law in the various States.
This law', drafted by the commis
sioners on uniform laws, has been
adopted In Massachusetts, Wisconsin,
Kansas and North Dakota. It will
be tffe subject of discussion at the
annual conference of the commission
ers In Montreal August 20. Of It Mr.
Sayre says:
“It is an excellent idea, for the
State laws differ so greatly on this
subject that it is often difficult to
bring back an offender when he es
capes to another State. The New
York State law’s worst feature is that
if the husband leaves the State, mere
ly deserting his wife, he can not be
extradited, but if he deserts his chil
dren under 16 years old he can be
brought back as a felon and sentenced
to State prison.
“The primary purpose of a deser
tion act is to bring about a condi
tion whereby the deserted family may
be supported. On the other* hand,
the New York law, and the law in
certain other States, forces the court
to lock up the man. In other words,
the effect is to compel hi n not to
support his family, and yet this is
the very thing for which he is ar
rested.”
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Birthday
greetings to-day were sent to two
European monarchs by President Wil
son. To King Haakon of Norway Mr.
Wilson cabled:
“I beg your majesty’s acceptance
of my sincere congratulations on this
anniversary of your birthday.”
To King Constantine of Greece tho
following was sent:

Dixie's Greatest Dry

BRUNSWICK, Aug. 2.—The con-
struction of a paper pulp mill as a
part of the Yaryan plant is given se
rious consideration by the officers and
stockholders of the company as a
means of adding greatly to the in
come.
About 500 tons of wood would be
required to meet the daily capacity of
the plant with Its present naval stores
equipment. After the naval stores
products have been extracted, the
wood fiber is left, and aside from
fuel purposes, the company has no
use for It. About 200 tons of this
puln each day is suitable for long
fiber pulp, and when run through the
pulp mill would make about 100 tons,
which has a market value of approxi
mately $40 a ton.
