BEvERIDGE CRITICISES Gull
BERsoN's PROPOSITION.
Latter Wants to Print Campaign Ar
ticle on Tariff in Record After
Formers Speech.

Following Senator Beyeridge's speech
this afternoon on his tariff commission
bill which is printed In another column.
a tilt occurred between Mr.. Beverage
and the minority leader. Mr.. Culberson.
in the course of which the Indiana
senator appealed to his colleague from
Texas not to inject craftsmanship into SO
grave a question as that of the tariff.
As soon as Senator Beveridge took
his seat after delivering his address
Senator Culberson arose and remarked
that he was glad to know that the SEN
ator from Indiana was in some degree.
at least, a tariff revisionist.
He did not believe. he said that a
commission to investigate the tariff
schedules is a necessity. nor that sew
eral other of Mr.. Beveridge's propositions
were right but he was glad to be able
to state that certain facts about the tar1n
were clearly established already. One o.
these, he said. was that protective tarin
fosters trusts.
Mr.. Culberson then asked that an arti-
Gle on the tariff. taken from the last
democratic campaign book. be printed in
the Record following Senator Beveridge's
address and as a part of the minority
leaders remarks.
Mr.. Beverage was on his feet at once
and declared that he supposed 1t was

not blame the senator on political
grounds from trying to accomplish this
end. nor would blame him IL he tried to
have the whole book printed. But. he
went on, he had been trying to keep con-
sideration Of his bill entirely free from
politics.
The action OF the senator from Texas.
he said called to his mind that Congress
has been forgetful of the interest of the

certain size will be awarded to the Pol
lock Drayage Company, whose bid of $685.

since last Thursday. returned to the Dis
trict building this morning and immedi-
ately laid the facts in regard to the bids
for the collection OF ashes before Com
missioner Macfarland. who has the SUPER
vision OF the matter in the absence Of
Commissioner West, and the result of the
conference was a decision that the con-
tract should be awarded to the lowest
bidder.
Questioned Regarding Bids.
Commissioner mcfarland asked Mr.
Twohey If the lowest bid was reasonable
and if the lowest bidder was responsible
and Mr. Twohey said yes to both ques-
lions. Thereupop Mr.. Mcfarland said
that he thought the Commissioners were
in honor bound to award the contract to
the lowest bidder. since he was responsible
and his bid was reasonable.
Mr. Twohey said he had intended so to
recommend. and would formally make
that recommendation. He had hesitated
because apparently there would have to
be deficiency appropriation of about
IS. 600 unless a bid still lower than the

was $4,000. had offered. since the bids
