designation applied by one Of the attor-

which related to the experiences of a
prosecution agent who was simultane-

the objection interposed by Attorney Earl

mark in question. John G. Lawlor. an
assistant employed by W. J. Burns, head
Of the prosecutions bureau Of special
agents. was the principal witness of the
day. He charged that Luther G. Brown

SOUTH AND PROTECTION.
Senator MeEnery Willing to Take Ali
He Can Garry OFF.

Washington. May 26-Promptiy re-
suming the thread of his discussion OF
the sugar schedule OF the tariff bill. Mr..
McEnery Of Louisiana, in the senate to-
day dealt with the attitude of the south
ern states and southern statesmen to
ward the policy Of protection. He said:
That there is a change of sentiment
going on in the south in relation 20 pro-
lection was shown recently, and I hope
senators from the south who have sup
ported protection on every industry in
the state may extend the vision of their
horizon and accord protection to great
national interests"
Mr.. McEnery spoke specially Of the
need Of a protective tariff on lumber,
which industry, he said, employed $4,000
men, producing lumber worth S44, 900, 900
annually.
After pointing out that southern SEN
atOrs had voted for a duty on lumber,
which produces a revenue Of only 81,
900 900 annually, Mr.. McEuery called
attention 10 the vastly greater income
produced by sugar which yields a rev
enue of S6000,g00. u want to appeal To
southern senator's" he declared. i'm
ringing tones. ito abandon their absurd
ideas and theories Of the tariff for rev
enUe only and vote to support the in
dustries of the United States. Thomas
Jefferson said there should be q duty on
the necessities Of life, because this gov
eminent should not be forced to depend
on any foreign country for it's neces-
saries.
Protection, Not Revenue.
Il don't base my plea for a duty on
sugar for the great revenue fl brings.
I put it on a higher plane, which is the
necessity for the country to become in
dependent Of any foreign government
for things it requires. Break down the
tariff on sugar and this country will be
run over with sugar from Europe, both
refined and graduated, and it viii stop
every beet factory in the United States
and stop the culture Of cane in the state
of Louisiana"
If the sugar trust. he said lad vio-
lated the law the guilty men should be

vengeance on the sugar trust?" he
asked.

REMARKS IN BEHALF OF CON-

Washington, May 26-For more than
seven hours today the senate discussed
sugar. as that subject is involved in the
pending tariff bill Beginning with an
effort by Senator McEnery, the Louis
lana Democratic prOtectionist, there
were four set speeches. Three support
ed the sugar schedule as reported from
the committee on finance. while the
fourth was a plea for material reduc-
tons
Completing his speech Of yesterday,
Senator McEnery made an earnest plea
for stiff protection, not only because Of
the necessity for such a policy in the
interest OF the revenue, but because, he
declared. such a course would render
the United States independent OF other
countries. He asserted that there had
been q change of sentiment in the south
on the subject of protection.
Analysis by smOOt.
Senator Burrows of Michigan and
Senator Smoot Of Utah, both members
of the finance committee, also spoke in
support Of the committees action. Mr..
Smoot presented a carefully prepared
analysis Of the situation, and Mr. Bur-
rows appealed more particularly 10 pop
charged the sugar trust with an at
tempt TO establish a reputation for fair
dealing by pretending TO be in alliance
with the beet sugar interests, which, he
said, was not the case He asserted a
reduction of duties would destroy the
beet industry and thus render it neces-
sary to send 500 900, 900 a year out OF
the country for sugar.

Mr. BristOw, the new senator from
Kansas, was the only advocate Of a re-
duced rate. He presented an amend
ment eliminating the grade Of sugar.
Referring to the attitude Of the so
called progressive" senators. Mr.. Bris-
tow declared that, instead Of wanting
TO destroy the sugar industry, they
were the best friends OF that interest az
/ they were of the protective policy. Their
desire, he said, was to prevent graft
and greed on the part of the trusts.
