REBEL AT PET MEASURES
Tawrey Says Cuban Recipro-
city Lies with Senate.
Congress Will Not Accede to Rooss-
velt's Recommendation for Per-
mansnt Tariff Commission-op-
posed by Allison and Babcock.

Washington, Nov. A.-(Special.)-It de-
velops that the President will be defied by
his party leaders in Congress IL be should
undertake strong measures for either
Cuban reciprocity, revision of the tariff
or antitrust legislation during the pend
ing session. S
Congressman Tawney of Michigan. the
organizer and leader Of .'insurgent" beet
sugar champions on the Republican side,
said to The Advertiser correspondent, to-
night:
THE issue Of Cuban reciprocity now
rests with the Senate and Department of
State. We. of the House, have expressed
ourselves In the constitutional way. We
have passed a reciprocity bill. II It does
not pass the Senate, SO much the worse
for reciprocity
Asked II he believes Congress would ac-
code to the Presidents probable recon-
mendation Of a permanent tariff revision
committee Mr.. Tawney replied:
THE people have already acted. In,
eiecting House of Representatives they
have awaited themselves Of the constitu-
tional method of choosing tarin conn
mission. No other commission than the
House itself would avail anything Not
one line from any outside commission In
the past has ever been enacted In Q
State. Need I say more. Personally
may have no particular objection to .
special commission. but certainly should
give its recommendations no heed"
II Mr.. Tawneys remarks mean any
thing, confessedly. he 10 a wise leader Of
the forty determined insurgents. They
mean a continued deadlock. as to Cuban
reciprocity, unless the big sugar trust
Senators yield. and of this there 10 no
prospect.
The Oldest newspaper correspondent
here and perhaps the one best informed
on national politics saw Senator Allison
and Congressman Dalzeil and Babcock
tonight and reported to The Advertiser
correspondent that those leaders were
agreed that tho Presidents wishes as to
antitrust tariff revision and Cuban re-
ciurocity Legislation from the present
Congress-, could not. be complied with.
Mr.. Allison, the leader OF the Senate.
and Mr.. Babc6ck. the leader OF all the
revisionists. were emphatic in declaring
that they would not move peg in the
Presidents direction this session. The
Significance of this Is Of gravest import,
for 1t implies either fight or surrender on
the Presidents part. and yielding as to
his supposed purpose. to call Congress
into extraordinary session. Indeed. Mr..
Allison and the others said there would
be no extra session before next autumn
at any rate. SO the situation in the Re-
publican party is far from happy.
District Attorney Warren Reese. who
arrived here Sunday on business with tina
Department of Justice, left tonight for
MONTGOMERY. The storm that seemed to
be gathering over him, and other Federal
officers in Alabama has apparently passed
away. and the best information IL that
further changes In that State are Inn
probable.
Former Auditor william Youngblood 10
here to attend upon suit of his In court
for $4,000 damages claimed from butt
terfne company, which he represented.
