HIGHER TARIFF ON PINEAPPLES
SOUTHERN SENATORS WIN
FIGHT FOR GROWERS.
MARYLAND Senator's Efforts to Help
Gamers of Their State Fail-Coal
Schedule Completed.

The finance committee struck another
snag in the Senate late yesterday after
noon when the pineapple paragraph was
reached The contention in this connec-
ton was for higher tariff rates, and came
from democratic sources. The objectors
in this case were Senators Taliaferro and
Fletcher of Florida The House had fixed
a duty Of cents per cubic foot on pine
apples in barrels and of SIS per thousand,
but the Senate committee on finance re-
duceG this rate to cents and 81 respec-
lively, thus restoring the provisions of
the Dingley law.
Mr. Taliaferro presented an amendment
restoring the House rate of IS per thou
sand but changing the other portions of
the provision SO as to require the pay
ment of half a cent a pound for pine
apples in bulk. The contention was for
and against this increase, and the fight
was mainly between the Florida sena-
tors, representing d pineapple-produclng
state, and Senators Smith and Rayner of
Maryland in whose state there are large
pinea pple- canning establishments. Dis
ayoWing all championship of the Gamers,
the Maryland senators made d strenuous
fight general principles against the in
crease of the duty. In the course of las
remarks Mr.. Rayner charged the repu.-
lican party with bad faith in promising
to lower tariff duties.
After a debate extending over about
four hours time the Taliaferro amend
ment was adopted, "a to 30 This was a
defeat for the finance committee, but the
amendment was not strenuously resisted
by the committee and several of its mem
bers voted for 1t.
The close of the day presented a sur
prise In the completion of the coal sched-
ule. 1t had been expected that this sched-
ule would be debate at great length,
but il was passed after little more thar
an hours discussion. A new schedule
was presented by Mr.. Aldrich as chair
man of the finance committee reducing
the House rate on bituminous coal from
"a cents per ton to 80 cents and elimlnat-
ing the House reciprocity clause.
Numerous attempts were made to re-
duce the rate. and there was one effort
to obtain free coal, but they We're all

THE TRAITOR" IN DRAMATIC
FORM SUPERIOR TO THE BOOK

The work Of adapting a popular nov
el for stage purposes is very difficult
task. Indeed. dramatists agree that
more expert knowledge is required in
this labor than in the preparation Of
an original play. The fate of these
stage dramatizations is never a fore
gone conclusion Some books which
have been immensely popular as nov
els have lost their vital spark and have
become fat failures when their story
was told behind the footlights. On
the other hand. there have been in
stances Of plays adapted from books
which have proven to be infinitely
more successful than was expected. A
case in point is The Traitor the play
from Thomas Dixon. Jr's. latest novel
Some people who have read the Clans
man" and The Leopard's Spots and
had seen the powerful play taken from
both OF these novels predicted when
they read The Traitor" in its publish
ed form it was simply impossible
to make another successful play from
this material These prophets were
most agreeably disappointed when
they read the Ms of The Traitor" in
play FORM Mr. Dixon, in collaborating
with Claiming Pollock. has. it is stat
ed. evolved a play abounding in strong
dramatic interest and in the most de-
lightful negro comedy that the stage
has ever seen. The book of The
Traitor has been completely trans
formed. The love story Of John and
Stella has been worked out with ad-
mirable skill, the suspense being main
tanned until the final fall Of the curtain.
Readers to whom the plot OF The
Traitor" did not appeal as strongly as
The Leopard's Spots" and The Clans
man" win be treated to a most agree
