PLEADS FOR THE TARIFF BILL.
Secretary Taft Before the Senate
Philippines Committee.

Secretary of War Taft TODAY was heard
before the Senate committee on Philippines
in favor of the Philippine tariff bill. Our
obligations to the islands provided the
theme for an earnest appeal made with an
emphasis that he has not ordinarily used in
addressing committees of Congress- He
asked the committee what Congress had
done for the Philippines and asserted that
people cannot be fed on constitutional
principles. and that the Fillpinos cannot be
uplffted by this country unless we are will
ing to aid them in increasing their pro-
ductiye conditions. The islands are being
used for the purpose of improving business
in the United States, he declared, and then
asked where was the justice a guardian
should show its wards
Referring to tobacco and sugar Secretary
Taft said that both have had the highest
kind of protection and that "aIl this fog
that has been created has nothing of sub
stance in it, in respect to injuries to these
crops. He said there had not been a wit
ness who feared immediate injury but that
the danger is confined to the enormously
exaggerated growth Of these industries
which these witnesses build up in their own
minds.
Commenting on the criticisms that have
been made concerning the party that went
TO the Philippines with him In the past sum-
mer, he denied that 1t had been selected
from members or Congress OF pro-Phillp-
pines tendencies. but that 'it was like
Topsy, it just growed' Z" He expressed the
opinion that the party was about four to
one anti-Phiiippine members.
Labor conditions In the islands were dis
cussed at length by the Secretary, who con-
tended that In order to get results from the
Filipino many concessions have to be
made to him that it is impossible to fix the
day wage. He declared it absurd to say
that good laborer could be had for 10 or
15 cents a day and figure on the cost of to-
bacco or sugar production in that way.
The hearings were adjourned to Wednes-
day at 1920
The committee agreed to report for con-
firmation the nomination of James T. Smit b
of California TO be encouragement OF the
Philippines

DowIE.A FAILURE.
Amazing Declaration Of Follower Of
the Alleged Prophet.

CHICAGO, February 5-Foliowers OF
John Alexander Dowie were amazed yester-
day to hear from the platform of Shiloh
Tabernacle in Zion City the frank admis-
sion that the work of their leader had
failed.
The statement came from Elder w. H.
Cossum In sermon
The elder said that his conception of
Dowie was that of a man who had been
permitted to look into the future and grasp
the great principles which will govern the
millennium and had attempted to apply
them to present conditions.
He has not decided" said the elder. II
hesitate to say 1t, yet l will say il with love,
realizing something of what the fullness of
my statement means. He may not have
measured up to the great vision which
rorced him to seek to establish some of the
great idealistfc principles of the kingdom
IN Zion City In this church and In the
Ideals which he thrust into business life,
but he has not succeeded.
Why, is not for me to say; but ! know
one reason why he has failed 1t is be-
cause the men and women whom he has
had In the church did not acknowledge the
vision with him. Instead of giving him
their money they put 1t into their pockets.
Instead of fulfilling promises which they
gave to him in black and white they lied
to him, turned away from him and left
him with only few millions whereas they
promised him many.
I'VE may be able to discover personal
reasons. for he is a man of like passions
with us. If he has failed 1t is because he
stepped out into environments strange
and the whole experience was SO new that
he did not know how to carry it out fully

RAILWAY RATE BILL.
Many Amendments Expected in House,
but None Likely to Pass.

An avalanche of amendments to the rail-
road rate bill is expected in the House, but
that there is small likelihood that any of
them will be adopted The democrats and
republicans of the House committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce have agreed
to resist all amendments and to ask the
House to stand by the committee. This
course was deemed necessary by the fear
that II amendments should once be ad-
mitted the bill might be knocked out of its
present shape and put into such condition
as to require reconsideration by the COM
mittee.
Representative Grosvenor of Ohio this
afternoon introduced an amendment to the
Hepburn bill providing that no president,
director, ofhcer, agent or employe of any
railroad shall be interested in the furnish
ing OF material or supplies to such COM
pany or In the business of TRANSPORTATION
as a common carrier of freight or pas
troiied or worked by such company. Upon
complaint or satisfactory proof of any vio-
latton OF this provisn the commission shall
order that the office SO held in violation of
this act shall issue an order to such cor
poratfon to declare the office or position
30 forfeited vacant and to fill the place as
provided for In the bylaws of the corpora
ton nassss=a ssSsss,z- -. ssta =
When the bill comes to the Senate, how
ever, there VIII be freer opportunity for
the offering of amendments. 1t viii then
be a question of the sentiment of the Sem
ate as to the adoption of those that are
offered, Ultra-conservative senators have
"a good deal of apprehension over the state
of the public mind on the subject OF rail-
road legislation and fear there will be con-
siderable agitation in the Senate, rejecting
that public feeling.

THE NORFOLK TRUNK MURDER
Alleged Slayer Still at Large-$4OO
Reward Offered.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NORFOLK, Va, February 5.-Leo C.
Thurman, alleged slayer Of Walter P. Dol
son. in the trunk mystery case, continues
at large and the police have no clue today
which would lead them to hope for an early
capture of Thurman. Police Chief Boush
this afternoon issued circulars Offering, in
the name of the governor Of Virginia, a
reward Of 500 for the capture Of the al
legged murderer, thus making total re-
ward now out of s4oO, the Odd Fellows Of
this section having offered $500. Gov. Swan
son found the state civil fund for rewards
in the case of fugitive criminals depleted
and overchecked by former Gov. Montague
to the extent of 1900, with no new ap-
preparation by the legislature yet, but TAX
ing the responsibility offered in his own
name 500.
Talbot L. Drury. convicted of the murder
several years ago OF young Meisenheimer
and sent to the pententiary for one year,
was today reported to be working with the
police detective on the Dolson case. Chief
Boush denied this most positively.
Two suspects, one arrested at Suffolk,
and the other at Cape Henry, were neither
found to be the alleged murderer and both
were ordered released.
While the Dolson murder was most re-
voting, it Is not without a parallel in the
history of Norfolk, as has been published,
the murder of a young Frenchman named
Lagaudette in 1921 having probably been
more ,dastardly than the present crime.
Both murders, strange to say, occurred
within a few hundred yards of each other.
and both victims we're packed into a trunk.
In the Dolson caaei howevez.s the murdered
mans skull was only crushed when his
body was found. whereas in the Lagaudette
case the victims body was chopped to
pieces and then packed into q trunk. Rob-
berry was the motive In both crimes. The
murderers Of Lagaudette were two Span
tards named Castilano and Garcia, who
were captured and executed in the Norfolk
Jail yard June !, 1921.

RESENTFUL OF DICTATION
Asserts the Rights of Individual
Senators.
DEN0UNCES EFFORT TO COERCE
Upon Mr.. Tillman's Objection to Pres
ent Consideration Says He Will

DENoUNCEs EFFORT TO CoERCE

Mr.. Patterson caused a sensation
in the Senate today by introducing
a resolution relative to the rights
of senator's in voting upon treaties.
His resolution recited that the ac-
tion of the democratic caucus in
debating to senators how they
should vote was a plain violation
OF the spirit and intent of the Con-
stitution of the United States; that
each senator was entitled to one
vote, and any attempt to coerce
him was an invasion of the rights
of a state; that any senator who
permits himself to be so coerced
weakens and degrades his state !;
that tor any senator to vote other
wise than as his sense of duty die
tates degrades his high office and
assails the dignity and standing of
the Senate.

THE GERMAN TARIFF.
Berlin Officials Pessimistic Over Plan
With This Country.

BERLIN. February Enquiries made to-
day at the foreign Office regarding the Ger
man-American tariff question elected the
information that this government is very
pessimistfc. even doubling that 1t will be
possible to get provisional arrangement
from the United States which Germany
could accept. Germany is anxious to
avoid a tariff war. and would go to great
lengths in making concessions which would
render a temporary arrangement possible
till treaty could be negotiated, but 1t 10
evident that the foreign Office regards the
suggestions hitherto made by the United
States as unsatisfactory.
1t was learned at the foreign Office that
the bundesrath has not yet considered Ger
many's course after March (when the new
German tariff goes into effect In the event
of no arrangement having been made be-
tween the two countries. But some thing
is expected to occur within few days I'M
the negotiations between the United States
and Germany which will tend toward clear
ing up the situation.

NO PORTSMOUTH TABLET.
Plan to Mark Peace Conference Build
ing Checked Summarily.

Special DlSDatch to Ihe Star.
PORTSMOUTH, N H., February 5.-The
plan of marking the general store building
at the navy yard with tablet in commem-
grafton of the Russian-Japanesep peace con-
has received an unexpected check. The
floor of the conference room was long ago
properly marked, showing the positions of
the different ENJOYS, and the plans for the
tablet were we'll under way when the de-
partment at Washington knocked the affair
in the head.
The design for the tablet, the work OF
Lincoln Randoll craftsman at the yard.
had been finished and the patterns for the
tablet were being made, when orders were
received from Washington to stop the
work.
Whether the officers here who were di-
recting the work were going ahead on their
own responsibility is not known, but 1t is
said that the order to stop was accom-
panied by letter decidedly to the point.
The Russian members of the envoy suite
who We're here during the conference did
not forget the many kindnesses and social
events arranged for them while here by the
townspeople, and number have received
New Year cards from Russia. Among those
remembered were Postmaster John H.
Bartlett and Mrs. Bartlett Miss Alice Lar
Kin and DR.. and Mrs. A. c. Heffenger.
Inquiry at the Navy Department reveals
that no one there had issued any order in
ferferring with the purpose of the people
OF Portsmouth to mark by tablet the build
Ing there in which the peace conference was
held.

Treasury Department Revision.

The basis for the hope expressed in tho
Berlin dispatches that recent developments
have made a temporary arrangement pos
sibIe whereby the application OF the MAXI
mum German duties to United States goods
can be found, lies in the fact that last
Friday the Treasury Department completed
its work of revision of the existing tarir
regulations which have been the subject OF
complaint by German exporters In the
American trade. The proposed changes
were submitted to Secretary Root, and have
already been made known to the German
ambassador, who has undoubtedly trans-
mitted them to his own government.
1t may be said, however, that the OFF
ficials here do not believe that what they
have been able to accomplish In the mat
ter of modification of the customs regula-
tions will be regarded by the German gov
ernment as an equivalent to the suspension
of the application of the maximum duties.
One of the most important changes applies
the port Of departure. The Germans have
insisted upon the valuation of the goods at
the place of manufacture. and while the
treasury officials have consented to that
they propose to add the freight charges In
the calculation OF the duties. Such changes
were greatly desired by the German traders.
but beyond showing the disposition OF the
executive branch of our government to go
as far as possible toward meeting all rea-
sonable demands, they will probably have
little effect upon the main issue, namely
the application after March l next of prac.
tically prohibitive tariff duties to q large
class of United States goods sought to bot
imported into Germany.

eral well-known buildings near the beach

a loss of about $4,000 Many guests of the
