report of the committee on commerce
an earnest plea for action at this time
saying that if there was greater post

ance upon the availability of these
balances and he pleaded that the good
faith of the government was involved
In the matter. He, however, met a
stern objection from Senator Hale Of
the committee on finance and when,
after a time, there seemed possibil-
ity of Mr.. Hale's yielding, Senator
Clapp came to the front and said that
IL Mr. Hale did not stand by his OBJ
lection he (Mr Clapp) would insist
upon making one of his own. Even
in the face of the opposition of these
two stalwarts Mr.. Burton still plead
ed, although without avail.
Messrs. Hale and Clapp took the
position that If the bars were once
let down there would be no end of
requests for special action. AS a re.
suit the senate would be flooded with
legislation. Mr. Burton was told that
there would be plenty of time for the
senate to act upon his resolution after
the passage of the tariff bill.

BIG IMPORTERS SAID
TO Be- IMPLICATED
Further Alleged Frauds at New
York Customs House.

Washington, May 24-The fedora
government investigation into the
New York customs fraud threatens
disclosures more astounding than
those recently -unearthed in the false
weighing of sugar for the benefit OF
the sugar trust.
A conspiracy is likely to be un-
earthed of many years standing, in
volving not only customs inspectors
but several big importers, trans
portation company and some men
higher up In the New York customs
Office
Detectives and secret service men
have secured a strong lead on the
following abuses.
Undervaluation of imports; collu
sion between the transportation line
employees and inspectors; bribery oi
inspectors by importers; frauds In
weighing; inspectors graft on travel
ing public; acceptance by customs
officials of entertainment and presents
from importers.
Disclose what it may, lead where II
may, touch what 1t may there will be
no abatement OF the investigation un
til every abuse is wiped out and the
guilty punished.

Washington, May 24.-Senator AL

to get a day named for taking the
final vote on the tariff bill. He named
Wednesday, June 2, as his preference.
He did not get it. His request for a

pending. There was prompt objection
from both the Democratic and Repub-

Senator Daniel at once recorded his
objection and Senator Cummins Joined
him. AS unanimous consent is neces-

with the best grace possible.

When the lumber paragraph was
reached Mr.. McCumber IN. d. pre-
sented an amendment providing for
free lumber, instead of 81 per thou
sand as In the Dingley law and 81 as
provided by the house bill. The ac-
tion precipitated long threatened
night and 1t was evident from the be-
ginning that the ground would be
stubbornly contested.
Mr.. McCumber opened the debate
by declaring that the lumber industry
needed no protection. Senator Elkins
defended the lumber interests and
accused the senator from North Da-
kota Of being spotted protectionist,
favoring protection on products Of his
own state. but not on those OF other
states.

iaock TO SOCIETY WOMEN
Lmra Goldman Guest st Fashionable
Clubhouse.

New York, May 24.--When 100
members OF the Mayfiower society of
New Jersey sat down to luncheon In
the fashionable Women's clubhouse in
East Orange, N. j, there were many
gasps of astonishment when at the
guests table they saw Miss Emma
Goldman, whose anarchistic preach
nonts have brought her fame.
Miss Goldman was there as guest
OF Alden Freeman, who year ago
made an independent campaign for
mayor of Fast Orange and who is sup
posed to have socialistic leanings.
While the society women present
were too diplomatic to make any ex-
pressions of disapproval at being
obliged to sit at table with the woman
anarchist there were many shrugs OF
shoulders and whispered comments.
Mr.. Freeman. whose wealth comes
from STANDARD Oil, in which his rela-
tives built up large fortunes, was born
next door to John ID. Rockefeller's
mouse in Cleveland.
