UNITE AGAINST
PHILIPPINE
MEASURE
Gronna Supported by Senators
in Opposition to Bill AZ
fecting This State.
Especial to The Evening Times
BY Edgar C. SNYDER.


Washington, Jan. 26-The fight on
the Philippine tariff bill which has
been transferred from the house to
tne senate by reason of it's passing
the lower body of the national con-
gress gives promise of being more
strenuous than was put up in the
house.
At no time did the opposition to the
measure believe that they could de-
feat the bill in the house. Their aim
was to develop the strength of the
opposition for the purpose of giving
courage to the opponents of the bill
IN the senate and that courage seems
10 nave been impaired, for the beet
sugar interests, the cane sugar manu-
iacturers and the tobacco interests
have already asked for hearings be-
fore Senator Lodges committee ON
the Philippines.
GrOnna's Motives.
The opposition to the Philippine bill
on the part of Congressman Gronna
was not because of any interests in
the bill which might be affected by
the reduction in the tariff as contem-
plated, but because of the principle
underlying the passage of such a
measure. Today Congressman ,Gronna
said that he was more than ever sat
isfied that the bill was un-American
and against the principles of the re-
publican party. That, if it finally be-
came law it would indirectly fasten
upon the country the policy of free
raw material as established by Secre-
tary Shaw in his drawback decision,
and he knew that the farmers Of
North Dakota and the northwest were
absolutely opposed to that specious
way grating onto the republican
party free trade theories. Mr.. Gronna
is very near to the people of his state.
He is not solarwalk statesman, but
a careful, thoughtful business man
who realizes what the effect would
be upon his section of the country
should the Philippine tariff bill as
passed by the house pass the senate.
Senators With Him.
Mr.. Gronna in voting against the
measure did not take that important
step without due consideration. 1t is
understood that both the senators
from North Dakota will vote against,
the measure for much the same rea-
sons as expressed by Mr.. Gronna
that the pernicious principles under
lying the drawback raises it's hydra
head throughout every feature of the
bill
81 violate no confidence when say
that it was expected Mr. Marshall
would vote as did his colleague, but
Mr.. Marshall saw fit to vote for the
measure, probably upon the general
proposition that the bill did not direct
ly affect the industries of North Da-
kota, the state having neither beet
sugar, cane sugar nor tobacco inter-
ests," were his words to the writer.

Many Protests Received at
Washington From North
Dakota.
BY e. G. snyder.

Washington, Jan 26.-Protests by
the Sbushel are coming in from prohi-
bit.onists all over the country to sena-
tots and members of congress urging
the defeat Of the various free alcohol
bills not before congress. They take
the position that the unrestricted sale
and use of free alcohol, even although
denaturized, will result in an ap-
palling increase in drunkenness and
crime as we'll as loss of income to the
government. On the other hand 1t is
urged that the abolition Of the tax
on alcohol used in the arts would
benefit the entire country and more
especially the farmer. That the vast
supplies of grain of all descriptions
would be converted into alcohol at a
much greater profit to the producer
than would result were it disposed of
as food and that it would place in the
hands of the consumer cheaper fuel
than gasoline; more easily handled
and less obnoxious in smell The bill
of Hon. w. H. Calderhead of Kansas
seems to have been taken as the basis
of the opposition to the absorption of
the tax on what is denominated as
4'ethyl alcohol"
Prohibition clubs throughout the
country are sending the following cir
cular letter to members of congress-
Dear Sir: We respectfully ask your
infiunce In opposition to the various
free alGohor bills now before con-
ed largely by the liquor interests, as
shown by the enclosed extracts from
their most influential journals.
While 1t Is possible a few manufac-
turers would profit by free denaturized
alcohol, the public would hardly bene-
ht at all Al manufacturers, who are
nosss now using tag paid alcohol for pur.
beverages. will demand free alcohol,
and be entitled to 1t, and the result
VIII be- an enormous loss to the gov
eminent. The authorities will not
dare to poison the spirit which -is to be
made tax Tree. but will only make It
any less intoxleating, and viii Be
craving for strong drink must be sErati-
Hed. The unrestricted sale and use of
free alcohol, even although denatur-
lied. will surely result In the most ap-
palhng increase in drunkenness and
crime, as,well as loss Of Income to the
government. $5s, 49,
Please note that the liquor interests
regard these free alcohol bills as the
first step towards the entire removal of
the he Internal revenue tax on distilled
We most earnestly ask your aid in 4
toward removing the tax on alcohol
strictions now placed BY the govern
men ment on on the alcohol and liquor bust

OARsMEN OiN RIVER.
Spring weather Attracts Deyotees Of
the Shell and Blade.

New York. Jan. .26.-The lighthouses
along the Harlem river were busy
places yesterday, as the springlike
weather attracted many oarsmen, and
the river along the Speedway course
was crowded with various craft.
Fred Fuessel of the Harlem Rowing
club who made SO many attempts last
year to come up to the topnotchers,
was the first of the stars to be in evil
dence. He Is in good shape, and with
continued practice should make good
this year.
C. s. Titus of the Nonpareil Rowing
club, who made many attempts last
year to reach his laurels as a cham
pion was one of the oarsmen on the
river. Frank Veseley Of the First Bo-
hemian Boat club, the oarsman who
was never known to give up, no matter
how far he may be in the rear of his
opponent when in a race, was also
out.
Although neither Titus, Fuessel nor
Veseley exerted himself while rowing,
1t was evident to many spectators who
were watching the oarsmen from the
shore of the Speedway course, that
each was anxious for brush. Row.
ing alongside one another, at mod
crate rate Of speed, they were on the
alert for one to attempt to steal away.
They we're on the river for several
hours. but there were no brushes.
Now that the Union Boat club is
comfortably situated Philip Ehni, q
member of that club. will enter this
year with the t0pnotchers, and from
all appearances may give a good ac-
count of himself
Several barges from the different
clubs, filled with woman, made good
appearance as they glided up and
down the river. According to oars
men, the Memorial day regetta this
year will have large entry list and
keen competition may be looked for
on that day.

Washington, Jan. 26.-After twenty
minutes spent in an unsuccessful at
tempt to get the consideration of

ing the urgent deficiency bill. Before

SHOES CHEAP IN MEXICO.
Increase in Duty Has Not Had Effect
Of Raising Price.

Mexico City, Jan. 26.-The increase
Of duties on American shoes, which
was made by the Mexican government
few months ago, has not caused an
appreciable decrease in the United
States shoe trade in Mexico. On the
contrary, dealers in shoes of United
States manufacture in Monterey, Mex
leo City and other of the larger towns
Of this country report very salts
factory increase in thse' business
since the increase Of duties went into
effect.
" 1t is stated by local dealers that
the American shoe trade here is bet
ter than 1t has been for long time.
In spite of the higher duties and the
present high price of leather In, the
United States, American shoes are no
higher here than usual.
One reason given for the fact that
shoes are not higher is the higher
value OF money. Possibly the great
cause for the increase of the shoe
business in this city lately has been
the general increase of prosperity
The population is increasing. Most
of the newcomers are the consumers
Of the better class Of goods. Work
ingman are buying better clothing.

in Chicago May Be
Solved. !,
"A ULYSSES 8. GRANT, III.
lGrandson Of Great Civil War General
and President.)

Chicago, I'LL, Jan. 26.-one of the
many mysterious crimes that have
blackened the pages of Chicago's his
tory during the last few months may
be solved tomorrow when an inquest
will be held over the body Of Walter
Niemann., On December 10 last ME-
mann and Miss Lucille Mcleod were

EDITOR IS NOT
GUILTY Of
Hapgood of Golfers Weekly
vindicated - Jerome's
Caustic Remarks.

New York. Jan. 2G.-The jury in the
Town Topics case returned a verdict
that Editor Norman Hapgood is not
guilty of criminal libel. The jury was
out about ten minutes. Hapgood was
charged with the criminal libel of
Justice Deuel.. The complaint in the
case was based on an editorial in Col
lier's in August last bearing ON JUS
tice Deuels connection with Town
Topics.
II will not attempt to disguise from
you the utter loathing and contempt
feel for some of the witnesses whom I
myself have introduced" declared Dis
trict Attorney Jerome to the jury to-
day in his argument for the prosecu-
tion in an action for criminal libel
brought against Norman Hapgood,
editor of Golfers Weekly on the COM
plant of Justice Jos. M. Deuel. of the
court of special sessions. For more
than two weeks now we have been
wandering through Vanity Fair" said
Jerome, witnessing exhibitions of
weakness, of folly and in some in
stances of human degradation"
Continuing, Jerome said: "It may
be that l ought not to be here prose-
SuIAhS3 OAC VI Il1t UeSl lElSuuS 1 We HOC
for crime which in my private judg-
ment I believe he ought to have done
and which l might have done in his
place with more heat and more vim
than he displayed. On the ground Of
excuse the prosecution comedies that
this publication was honestly made
in the belief that it was true. If you
find that the article was true you have
got to acquit. Now let us see the
character of this paper (referring to
Town Topics). Shepard has told you
that Colonel Mann has stated that it
was the natural evolution of personal
Journalism. If that is true it ought
to be applicable to more than one
daily paper in New York whose trend
is that way. There is scarcely morn
ing paper that does not print vile
scandals and obscene matter. Does
it serve any useful purpose? Is it
other than filth? Is it put there for
no other purpose than that of pay
ing dividends to stockholders? The
average newspaper is run from the
counting room standpoint. 1t am not
here to Justify Town TOpics."

BEGINS LIFE Term
FOR MURDER Of
G0EBEL
Howard Removed From Coun-
ty Jail to State Pen at
Frankfort.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 26.-It will be
six years next Tuesday since William
Goebel, then a senator, and contest
ant for the Office of governor of Ken
lucky, was assassinated as he was
about to enter the senate building at
frankfort. The anniversary will be
signalized by the removal of Jim How
ard from the county jail in this city
to the state prison at Frankfort, where
he will begin life term for the mur-
der. Howard's last hopes of relief
from the courts was dashed to the
ground the first of this month when
the United States supreme court af-
firmed the decision of the, Kentucky
court of appeals. The convicted man,
however, affirms his innocence more
strongly than ever before, and the iron
nerve which has marked him through
out his five years Imprisonment and
his three trials has not failed him.
