PROMPT PASSAGE IS URGEO
COST TO THE COUNTRY IN DE-
LAY ON THE TARIFF BILL.
Representative Burke Declares That
the Business World Is Losing
100000 a Day.

During the tariff debate in the House
Yesterday Mr.. Burke of Pennsylvania
paid a tribute to the ways and means
committee and said that nobody ever
performed duty SO honestly He spoke
of the need for the early passage of the
bill and declared that the business world
was losing S1OOOO,OOO a day every day
the bill was before Congress.
Representative Chandler of MISSISSIPPI
attacked the bill as containing nlgher
average of taxation than any tarln law,
not excepting those enacted TO meet me
exigencies of the civil war. He declared
that the greatest outrage that has been
committed i'm the bill is directed imme-
diately against the breakfast table. In
this connection he spoke of the duty on
tea and coffee, mustard, pepper. hams
and other necessaries of life as being
taxed to the limit.
From his experience with tariH revision
Mr. Townsend of Michigan said that he
was not so sure but that a satisfactory
tariff bill could be prepared by a com
mission of high-grade, intelligent men
for presentation to Congress. He de-
clared, however. that the republican
party did not need to make any apologies
for it's policy of building UP American
Industries and at the same time securing
from goods competing with those indus
tries the means of supporting the gov
eminent. He said that with the constant
introduction in the south of various m
dustries the time was rapidly approach
ing when the democrats of that section
would be in line with the policy of pro-
lection.
At the Night Session.
The speeches at the night session. for
the most part. were along the lines OF
those previously made. Mr.. Currier OF
New Hampshire opposed the rates i'm
posed by the Payne bill on wood pulp and
print paper contending that they do not
provide sufficient revenue.
Mr.. Hefin of Alabama severely ar
raigned the republican party, while Rep
resentatives Rucker of Missouri Cold
fogle of New York. Dixon of Indiana,
Cline of Indiana and Ferris of Oklahoma
opposed the Payne bill as whole. Mr..
Davis of Minnesota argued for free lum-
Der. Mr.. Hughes of New Jersey claimed
that the republican party favors free
trade in only one commodity, which. he
said, was labor
Mr.. Fowler of New Jersey, addressing
the House in advocacy of a permanent
tariff commission, said: IF Congress
should declare today that the present
tariff schedules should be the actual
schedules and at the same time fix maxi
mum and minimum schedules as the
commission subject to the approval of
the President who. is responsible for the
revenue could fix the actual duties to be
paid, but that no such change should
take place for a period of a year and a
half after their PRONUNCIATION by the.
President, this country would go forward
by leaps and bounds

the Secretary said, steps had been
taken looking to the distribution, of the
marines among the various ships, but
the department wanted TO know first

is to be found in most of the large
cities of the United States, as well as
here in Honolulu. Either have no law
at all or let the people keep it them
selves.
"With regard to the so.called social
evil, there is a great movement on,
because it has been seen that this
touches the foundation of society. Men
who know better or should know bet
ter are undermining the structure of
beautiful homes, and running the social
standing of wives and mothers. 1t is
an Outrage against society"
Mr.. Dole then spoke of the new def
milton of business: GAN business is
social service,' saying that new idel

ing the one guiding law of the golden
rule. He said that it had been and is
being worked successfully by some Of
the ablest business men of the world
The race problem was then taken up

mankind Is taking n great amount OF
interest He stated emphatically thai
in Honolulu there was a better condi
ton of solution of this question thar
in almost any other place in the world
The problem is hot on the Pacifi,
Coast, in South Africa, and in som,
of the Southern States, as well as Ha

only two ways of considering-frst, il
an attitude of suspicion, of rae
jealousy, this leading, of course, I,
strife; and, second, in an attitude o
sympathy, kindness and humanity
which no one has yet fairly tried an
found not to work successfully.
Mr.. Dole spoke of the great move
ment now in favor of peace as agains

for peace. He said that some peopl
eontended that all the expense of pre-
pairing for war with armies and navie

Suicide Not in Line of Duty.

The War Department has decided
that the death of Lieut.. John j. Moller,
Sth Infantry, was not incurred in the
line of duty. That officer was on
leave of absence at the time ne killed
himself An officer, whether absent
with leave or without leave, is held
to be outside of a duty status. An
officer ON leave who commits suicide
clearly does so outside the line of duty,
it is held, unless it can be shown that
his self.infiicted death was the result
of condition of insanity which arose
while the deceased was on duty
status. There was no allegation Of in
sanity in the case of Lieut.. Moller. In
the case of an enlisted man who com
mitted suicide, it appeared from the
medical reports that the death of the
soldier was due to dementia contracted
in the Philippine Islands while ON duty.
In that ease the death. was considered
to have been in the line of duty.

APPROVED OF
THE BIC Guns

The members of the House of Rep.
resentatives, in string of antos, went
an a general tour of inspection and Wis
iting on Saturday afternoon, having
accepted an invitation from Major
Winslow to inspect the mortar batteries
at Fort Ruger, Diamond Head, and
taking advantage of the opportunity
to drop in also on the superintendent of
KapiOlani Park. The members and a
few others from the House displayed
great interest in the eight great NOR
tars in the two battery pits, sunk into
the side of Old Leah, and the Major
and his principal assistants were kept
busy for the greater part of an hour
in explaining how easy it is going to
her after this to dispose of any war
vessels which come nosing around Ho-
nsIulu with any hostile intent.
The big guns were turned, tilted,
loaded and uDloaded and the system of
aiming explained, the way the thou.
sand-pound shells are skyrocketed over
Diamond Head and made to hit any
thing being shown and made pain. The
members were also taken Though the
massive concrete ammunition magazines
and to other points of interest around
the battery.
Some of the members expected that
the guns would be fred n round or so
IN their hnDor, but decided not to wait
when Major Winslow explained that
tho first shots would not be fired until
some time in May.

arations for war and make rather for
international peace, when, he said, the
other nations would undoubtedly fol-
low the good example.
The great need today, said Mr.. Dole,
is for the nations to treat each other
as neighbors; to reach across the seas
with asfriendly hand. This would do
more to solve the great race problem
than anything else, and it would ulti-
mately bring about the desired peace
at all times between nations.
