Washington, Oct. lS.-What is bit
terly denounced in certain quarters
as covert blow at deserving office
seekers is the abolition of free lunch
in saloons. The new rule of the Lii
.quor Dealers association was put into
effect today and the tables covered
with cheese, soup, sandwiches pickles
and other indi9estiblcs have vanished
utterly. No longer can the man
from Oshkosh or Tombigbee, who is
in Washington waiting for the Presi
dent TO reward his great services
to the party with fat and juicy job,
stave off the pangs of hunger by pur
chasing five-cent schooner of beer.
|Ostensibly the liquor dealers adopted
the new rule because of the protests
of the keepers of lunchrooms, but the
office hunery see in the action a deep
laid political plot which has for its
purpose the Kidding of the city of
limpecunious and wild-eyed politicians.
The saloon men have also adopted a
lrule that hereafter no five-cent grow
lers" of beer be sold, and that ten
cents is the smallest sum with which
thirsty ones may "rush the can"

of the sensational sort Of evangelists,

sensationalism that many evangelists

to the hearts of people with more last

of evangelism. The church is in
earnest in these meetings, and the pas

The meetings will continue all this
week and longer, and those who wish
to hear the gospel that saves are urged

Is the substance of the pledge adopted
by the city Democratic committee to-
night after session marked with
peace and quiet.
There had been expected a very

stringent. and il had been openly dc
Clared by those claiming To know
that the committee on plans would
adopt a pledge that would require so
much trouble and time TO read and
understand before voting that those
fearing to bind themselves hastily
might be prevented from coming to
the polls.
Candidates In the field for noml-
nation on state tickets In several in
stances were looking for their friends
on the committee to oppose any long
pledge, and in fact there were many In
local Democratic circles who still
think that any pledge whatever is
prejudicial 10 their chances In the
State primaries.
There was little feeling II any at
the meeting tonight. and expected
amendments were not proposed be-
cause there was no occasion for them.
The committee adjourned with the ex.
pressed belief that the coming pri-
maries will poll a large vote.

SEVERAL PROTESTS At FINISH
Fraudulent Transactions in the Inter

plains Against Reading Clerk, But
Vice president Takes Responsibility.
CRv Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON. ID. c. May Is
Senator Aldrich succeeded today IN
getting action by the Senate on the
remainder of the sugar schedule, with
the underst anding that the paragraph
Xix ng a duty on raw and refined sugar
should be again placed before the
Senate if Senator Clay's health should
50 improve as to permit of his taking
advantage OF an opportunity at later
date TO move an amendment cutting
the figures in two.
The tobacco schedule was also COM
pleted No changes made in the H.
nance committee rates on either sche-
dule. The sugar. tobacco and agrl-
cultural sched dulles divided the atten-
tion of the Senate during the day.
with incidental remarks on the side
by Senator Bacon and a general tarlH
speech by Senator Stone.
Fraudulent Transactions Alleged.
Senators Gore. Bristow and Clay
criticised the provision for duty on
raw and refined sugar. and Mr.. Clay
repeated his anegation of fraudulent
transactions in the interest of the
sugar trust.
Mr.. Bris;ow declared that the trust
has benefited by the defeat of his
amendments of yesterday and Mt.
Gore asserted that by the adoption OF
the finance committees provision,
which was the same as that passed
nv the House, only five cents on the
hundred pounds OF sugar would be
saved
Accuses Reading Clerk.
Senator Bacons remarks consisted
OIL a charge that the reading clerk OF
the Senate and the Republican leaders
were in collision to shut OF debate.
The charge grew out of the fact that
when the Senate was about TO vote
on an amendment by Mr.. Gore to the
sugar schedule he (Mr BaconD was
preparing to address the Senate and
had actually begun before the roll
was called. He asserted that the
course had been pursued to prevent
him from speaking, and declaring that
such a plan had been followed in the
past he entered upon a sp rited criti-
cism of the officials. The vice presi-
dent himself assumed the responsible
ity for ordering the call to proceed
and the incident closed without Sc
rious results. The Gore amendment
was subsequently withdrawn
Unjust Course of Tobacco Trust.
Senator Bradley made a long speech
early in the day in advocacy OF the
removal of the internal revenue tax
of six cents a pound on tobacco in
"the hand
He asserted such action to be essen
ton to the welfare OF tobacco growers
throughout the country and traced
the raids Of night riders in Kentucky
and Tennessee to what he declared
to be the unjust course of the tobac-
co trust in dealing with the tobacco
producers.
