DEBATE ON PHILIPPINES
Senator Lodge Speaks in Sup
port of Tariff Bill.
RAwLlNs CHAMPIONS MINORITY.
For Three Hours Senate Hears Argu-
ments on Both Sides of the Measure
to Provide Temporary Tariff
Schedule for the Islands,

] Washington, Jan. 22.-For nearly
three hours yesterday the senate had
under consideration the Philippine
tariff bill. The measure was made the
unfinished business and probably will
hold that position of preference until
it shall have been voted on finally.
The debate was opened by Lodge,
chairman of the committee on Philip
pines. He sketched in a, free hand
way the reasons which had actuated
the majority in presenting the meas
ure and urged strongly it's enactment
into law at an early date. He ex-
planned with some minuteness the ne
cessity for the legislation embodied
in the bill and concluded with an ap-
peal to the senate and to congress to
deal with questions relating to the
Philippines as they might arise and to
keep clear of vague words and vaguer
promises, which were likely to be mis-
interpreted and to raise false hopes
in the minds of the Filipinos. In an
impassioned peroration he besought
congress not to give mortgages on an
unknown future. Rawlins (Utah) de-
livered a vigorous speech in support
of the minority substitute, in which
independence was promised 10 the Fill
pinos so soon as stable government
could be established in the Philip
pines. His discussion of the general
Philippine question covered much of
the ground that has been gone over
during the past two years. Through
out he was accorded careful attention.
AS conclusion of the debate for
the day, Bacon (Ga.) sharply criticised
the secretary of war for an alleged
violation of the law in issuing an or
der permitting vessels flying for
eign flag to participate in the COM
merce between the United States and
the Philippines.

HEARS TOBACCO INTERESTS.
Ways and Means Committee Considers
Effect of Cuban Reciprocity,

Ways and Means Committee Considers
/ Effect of Cuban Reciprocity.
Washington, Jan. 22.-The ways and
means committee yesterday resumed
its hearings on Cuban reciprocity with.
special reference to the proposed re-
duction on Cuban tobacco. The to.
bacco interests of the United States
were largely represented.
John R. Young, president Of the Ma
tional Leaf Tobacco association, made
an earnest plea against any tobacco
concessions to Cuba. He said there
undoubtedly was public sentiment
in favor of granting relief to Cuba,
but he contended that we should be as
just to the people Of our own country
as to the people of foreign countries.
AS to cigars, Mr.. Young declared
that the proposed concessions would
"wipe out the American-made 1G-cent
cigar" The Cuban cigarmaker would
lay down a cigar here for less than
the American manufacturer receives
for his high-grade goods and the Gu
ban would have the advantage of hav-
ing his goods advertised as imported
cigars" This. Mr.. Young said, would
secure for Cuba the entire American
market for all goods above cents.
Representative Richardson Of Ten
nessee asked II the price Of cigars
would be reduced to the cigar smoker.
Mr.. Young said the price would be re-
duced, but he did not believe. the con-
sumer would ask this reduction at the
expense of the American industry.

calling upon them to surrender as he
did so. They opened fire upon him
simultaneously and three bullets
struck the policeman in the abdomen.
AS he fell he opened fire with his re-
volver and struck one of the burglars,
who ran into the arms OF another po-
liceman, attracted to the scene by the
shots. The other two men escaped.

having been taken to the hospital.

mar-and the operations in Batangas
occasionally range in the neighboring
provinces Of Tayabas and Daguna.

Barberton, May 6-Burberton will no
longer he the Mecca Of the ungodly, and
will be all that model city should
be If the enactment of the proper Or
dinances by the City Council viii
bring about such desirable state of
affairs. An ordinance to regulate the
saloons was passed at the Council
meeting, Monday night, which says
that in the future all saloons or other
places where intoxicating liquors are
sold, must be tight closed on Sunday
and by 10 clock every night, except
Saturday night, when the hour is eX-
tended to IL o'clock, and it will be
unlawful to place curtains, stained
glass or any other obstruction in such
a position as shall obstruct the full
view of the entire room during the
hours when the law says the place
shall be closed.
No longer will piano and violin, gram
ophone and graphophone entice the
youth of Barberton into places where
temptation is thrown in their path. for
the ordinance declares all such instru-
ments to be unlawful and they must be
removed when present licenses expire.
Gambling will also be taoboed and all
games of chance under whatsoever
name they appear are under the ban.
This ordinance Is severe blow to the
saloons, and they have gained but one
concession, the privilege Of remaining
open until II o'clock on Saturday night.
An ordinance was also passed which
increased the penalty for loaing, dis
orderly conduct and drunkenness to
$1050.
