Two Tariff Conferees Hold Out for
Protecting Product Controlled
by Steel Trust.
WASHINGTON, Sopt. 13— Chair-
man Underwood, of the Ways and
Means Uommittee. and A. Mitchell
Palmer, both of whom represent
States where the Steel Trust has ex
tensive plants. Insist that a duty shall
be placed on ferro-manganeiKj. This
is the product controlled absolutely
In this country by the Bteel Trust.
The Independents must buy It abroad
and pay the duty. The Item was dis
cussed by the tariff conferees again
to-day.
The House members demand a duty
on the ground that the revenue Is
needed. The Senate insists upon keep
Ing the product on the free list be
cause the Steel Trust refuses to sell it
to the independents. The House rate
of 15 per cent is equivalent to $8 a
ton. The high protective Aldrich-
Payne law assesses a duty of only
$2.50 a ton.
Senate conferees are asking why
the House Insists so keenly on this
Item of vital Importance to the Steel
Trust, and the House conferees say
"we need the revenue." The Indica
tions. after to-day's session of the
committee, were that a small duty
would be the compromise.
Wine Fight Settled.
The big fight between the Califor
nia. Ohio and Missouri wine growers
on the liquor schedule was settle 1
to-day by eliminating entirely tne
Senate amendment. The proposition
Is to he referred to a Joint commit
tee of the Finance and Wnys and
Means Committees, with Instructions
to report a bill at the next session
dealing with the whole problem.
The elimination of the imposition
of the brandy tax on the California
product And the special tax of 23
cents a gallon on the Kastern prod
uct cuts off upward of $7,000,000 es
timated revenue, which, added to the
$2,500,000 on bananas to be restored
to the free list on the order of the
President, shows a 'uss thus far m
the Senate bill of almost $10,000,0')')
In revenues
Senate conferees are counting on
this to p*r^iade the House managers
to agree to the Senate's increase on
the higher grades of cotton textiles.
This subject was up for discussion
the greater part of the day. The
Senate made a reclassification creat
ing a differential of 2 1-2 per cent as
between plain and colored threads,
yarns and clothe. No conclusion was
reached on the cotton schedule.
Wheat Clause Debated.
The disputed question of the coun
tervailing duty on wheat was dis
cussed and then passed over, each
side standing firm.
Shortly after A o'clock to-night the
conferees completed the cotton and
flr.x schedules with the exception of
the paragraph covering the rates on
threads and yarns used in the manu
facture of cotton cloths and on cloth*
.themselves.
The rates on dockings were in
creased slightly over those made by
the Senate, which were a little In ex
cess of the House provisions.

The meeting will be held again In
Atlanta in 1914.
The members of this uni me musi
cal organization hold the opinion that
the church music of to-day is badly
tainted with operatic, secular ami
ragtime strains, and they are sotting
forth with no inconsiderable seat to
demonstrate that the old-time c.'iuri h
music of their forefathers id the best,
after alt. Modern musical composi
tion, they maintain, serves to diive
away Instead of to promote religion
and religious feeling.
They retmarsed yesterday with all
the fervor and spirit of the camp
meeting days many of the songs that
.are contained In their hymnal, n book
compiled especially for their own use.
They employ the so-called four-
note system which was originated by
their ancestors before musical Instru
ments in churches came into vogue In
the South. The majority of the songs
they sing were contained in the Sa
cred Harp book compiled by B. F.
White in 1844. With slight revisions
and additions, this is the hymnal used I
to-day.
"We wish to reproduce the gospel
music written in the South before
the war and to immortalize It in its
original form,” explained C. J. OrlggF i
vice president. Inst night. “Most «.f
the delegate* here ure familiar with
the other forms of music. Not a few
of them, in fact, are instructors in the
more modern music, but they wish to
; preserve the old melodies that their
fathers sang years ago.”
The rapid growth of the organiza
tion. which had its birth in Atlanta
thirteen years ago. has rendered the
care of the large conventions a serl-
I ous problem and caused the introdue- !
tion of a resolution yesterday by M. j
D Farris, one of the founders, In J
which it was proposed to divide the '
I expense of the convention up among I
the districts represented Instead of
leaving It all for tho convention city.

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Sept. 13.—Inquiries are
being made by British military aero
plane agents concerning certain re

deaux. A corporal in an aeroplane, it
Is stated, won an altitude race against
a dirigible engaged in the French
military maneuvers. From its su
perior height the aeroplane dropped
sham projectiles on the airship which
in actual warfare would certainly
have destroyed the craft at which
they were aimed.

For the ICE-KIST all you have to do is to pour
in the cream, sherbet or whatever refreshment it
T U T 5 ^ AR I ma y k e ’ and pack in the ice as in the ordinary
1 Pi 0 d 14 SL freezer. Then the work is ended. There is no f

if it is freezing, no extra packing in of ice. All you do after packing is to
open the freezer and serve the refreshment. It saves work, time, trouble
and—you.
Perfect Freezing
The Ice-K 1st has no dasher or
crank because it has two freezing
sur faces. The old-fashioned
freezer had only one freezing;
surface—that is why a crank and
dasher were necessary. The
Ice-KIst has a metal freezing
tube that extends directly through
the cream to the bottom. This
elves the two freezing surfaces.
The cold penetrates from the
center ana from the outside,
too. The cream is frozen with a
smoothness tliat will delight you.
The Ice-Kist makes a beautiful
