Women in middle life and from there

with gray. The woman OF forty needs
all the help she can get from dress. and
the woman OF fifty needs 1t still more.

TAWNEY'S SPEECH 4
BOMB FOR ENEMY
Quoted Contradictory Utter
anoes of the Opposition.
GRUSVENOR'S FORMER VIEWS
Messrs. Dingley, Payne, and Steele
Cited in Support of Tariff on Sugar
Against Present Position of Ways and
Means Committee.

Only one opinion prevailed in the
Monday night of the Republican members.
That was that IL a vote had been taken
the proposition from the Ways and Means
Committee for a reduction in the Cuban
tariff would have been beaten by an over
whelming majority.
The beet sugar men were iubilant at
the showing they made, especially at the
manner in which Representative Tawney
turned the tables on certain members of
the committee who are now supporting
the compromise.
BY way of preface it may be said that
It is common feeling that such members
as Representatives Payne, Dalzell, and
Grosvenor are supporting the proposition
merely because they believe the President
favors it, and because they think 1t is the
best the domestic sugar growers can
look for, and not because their hearts
are In it. Few II any of the members of
the House credit them with such shift
of position as contemplated, from strong
advocates of protecting the beet sugar
" abhO'ottS Vi "HiSH
the domestic sugar producers say will
cripple If it does not ruin the industry.
Special Message Unlikely.
In the House yesterday the feeling was
current that the only salvation for the
compromise measure lay in a special mes
sage from the President. which. it was
thought, he would be very reluctant to
send. 1t is not believed IN the House that
the President is as fully committed TO re-
lief for possible suffering in Cuba by
means OF a reduction in the tariff as deep
ly as has been stated, and no interference
is looked for from the White House.
Representative Dalzell. who is expected
to speak in favor of the compromise to-
morrow night, may succeed in stemming
the tide, but the beet sugar men believe
they will win on the first vote.
Monday night Representative Tawney
astonished some and amused others by
quoting at length from speeches made by
Representatives Payne. Steele. Grosvenor.
and others, showing that from two to five
years ago they entertained diametrical-
ly opposite views to those they now pro-
fess.

EXCISE BOARDS ANNUAL
REPORT TO CONGRESS
Nine Saloon Licenses Refused
and 5I6 Issued.
Three Wholesale Liquor Applications Re-
jected-FOrty- Convictions of
Violation of Law.

In compliance with the act of Congress

sale of Intoxicating liquors in the District
of Columbia" the Excise Board of the
District yesterday transmitted to Com
gress the report of the operations of the
board for the year ending October 81,
1901.
The Report.
The report in part says:
During the year which began November
l, 1900, the board granted 516 barroom and
124 wholesale liquor licenses The num-
Der Of barroom applications rejected was
nine, and the number of wholesale liquor
applications unfavorably acted on was
three.
There were filed 517 applications for
barroom licenses on October 1 last of
which 1872 were allowed. five rejected and
thirty are now pending. There were 1876
applications for wholesale liquor licenses
filed, of which number 121 were granted,
four rejected and one is now pending.
From March 4. 1901, to March 8, 1902.
forty-seven persons were convicted of vio-
lating the excise law. The amount of fines
imposed by the Police Court during that
period was $14, 600, of which amount sos. 75
was paid, leaving s14,090.25 uncollected.
This is accounted for becuse many per-
sons convicted served out workhouse SEN
tences without paying fine.

the interchange of opinion among those
present to be the sense of the committee
that the Government finances are in good
enough condition to stand the strain.
The committee did not take up any of
the details of the bill.
Comprehensive tables showing the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the Government
for the present and prior fiscal years and
the estimated revenues and disburse-
ments for the coming year have been pre-

were made the basis for the opinion ex-

that the war taxes could safely be wiped
