WOULD DESTROY
BEET INDUSTRY
so DECLARES SENATOR BUR-
ROWS IF SUGAR TARIFF is
REDUCED.
RRisTow or KANSAS THE ONLY
soLoN WHO SPEAKS FOR
LOWER RATE.

Washington, May Flor more
than seven hours yesterday the sen
ate dlscassed sugar as that subject is
involved in the pending tariff bill
Beginning with the effort by Senator
Mcknery OF Louisiana, democratic
protect. onisi, there were four
speeeae@. Thee oil these were IN
support OF the sugar schedule as re-
ported from the committee Of finance,
while the fourth was a plea for ma
terial reductions.
Completing the speech which he
began yesterday, Mr.. McEnery made
an earnest plea for stin protection,
not only because OF the necessity tor
such a policy in the interest OF reYe-
nue., but because, as he declared. sucn
course would render the United
States independent Of other countries
He asserted there had been a change
OF sen tfment in the south on the sub
ject of protection.
Senators Burrows of Michigan and
Snloot OF Utah, both members of the
finance committee. also spoke in sup
pot of the committees action. Mr.
smoot presented a carefully prepared
analysis Of the situation and Mr. Bur
rows appealed more particularly tc
popular sentiment. The Michigan
senator charged the sugar trust witt
an attempt to establish a reputation
for fair dealing by pretending 10 BIZ
In an alliance with the beet sugar in
terest. which he said, was not the
case. He asserted that reduction Of
duties would destroy the beet indus
try. and thus render 1t necessary tC
send 100000 600 year out OF the
country every year.
Mr.. Brlstow, the new senator from
Kansas. was the only advocate of q
reduced rate. He presented ar
amendment eliminating all reference
to Du.ch standard in determining
the grade OF sugar. Referring to the
attitude of the so-calIed progressive
senator's Mr. Bristow declared that
instead of wanting TO destroy the
sugar industry they were the best
friends of that interest. as they were
for protective policy. Their de
sire he said, was to prevent graft and
greed on the part of the trusts

SAYS CONFESSION
WAS PURE FAKE

Christiana, May 21.-James Small
of Maine, seaman on the Russian
bark Lochee, arrested at Ffedrikstad
ON arrival there recently of the
Lochee because of an alleged confes-
sion to Captain Stillotun, that he par
ticipated with Mrs. Belle Gueness III
the murers which were committed on
the Gueness farm near La Porte, Ind,
last year, was given an examination
yesterday before a judge in court
here. Small asserted that the story
he told the captain was untrue, that
he had read Of the Gueness sensation
in newspapers and invented the de-
tails of the story which he confessed
to the captain. including the names
of the alleged victims, with the pur-
pose of being discharged from duty
on the bark. and that when the muir
ders were committed he was a sol.
der in Portland, Maine
The judge expressed the opinion
that he is insane. He win be sent
to the United states.
Captain Stillstun says Small told
him he received $500 for his share in
the crimes and he named two men,
Campbell and Davidson, as having
assisted Mrs. Gueness.

Washington. May 25.-Had it not
been for the attitude of the progress
sive republicans who favor the adop-
ton of an income tax amendment TO
the tariff bill, it is probable that
senator Bailey might have reached an
agreement with members of the f.
aance committee for vote on his
amendment on June 10.
Offense was taken by some of the
so-ca,led insurgent republicans be
cause of the notice served by the
Texas senator Monday that no gen
eral agreements could be obtained on
any phase of the tariff bi so long as
Senator Aldrich refused permission
for the fixing of time for vote on
Mr.. Bailey's income tax amendment.
1t was made clear at an informal
conference that the republicans who
are supporting the Cummins amend
ment desire continuance of the Goa
lition with the democrats. but that
they did not want it at the expense Of
surrendering control OF the income
tax fight to the democrats. Mr.. Cum
Minis conveyed this view TO Mr.
Bailey.

SOCIALIST BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE

Madison, May II.
perhaps about ninety percent OF
business men fall and about three
out OF every four sawmills." So said
Assemblyman Stevens of Rhineland-
er yesterday. while he was arguing
that American labor now was the
best paid and best protected in the
world and therefore not in need Of
more favoring laws. The bin under
consideration was the one coming
originally from the socialistic wing
limiting to eight hours work on all
state buildings" 1t was the begin
ming of our graves, said he. Union
labor now asks only this restriction;
but two years hence it would de-
u.Ald the S-hour-day on all public
woIk; then later all private work
Mind what say" he exclaimed
earnestly, This is but the begin
ming Labor organizations today
mean socialism and socialism means
anarchy. ]. J. Hill had to abandon
his sea service on the Pacific because
he could not use American labor
which is so high and compete with
foreign labor. This excessive demand
of labor have driven American ship
ping from the seas-nothing else.

-ended debate the senate indefinitely
postponed the bin forbidding the du.
plication OF telephone exchanges a
treasure entirely similar TO that
which was put TO sleep in the assem-
bly, week or ten days ago
From the debate and the vote upon
questions connected with the bill it
appeared that the measure stood a
very good chance of being pushed
through the senate but when the final
vote came only five senators stood
by the bill, although there were five
pairs.
Governor Davidson sent his third
veto message into the assembly
sending back without approval che

than allowed heretofore, in construct
ing the new capitol, under the proyi
sions of the committee bill, as amend
ed and ordered eugrossed in the as
sembly Tuesday.
The commission is also authorized
to transfer the capitol dome to the ad

s25. 600
The limitation of expense in tht
! construction of each wing remains a

stricted to the purchase of only sucf

quired in the building. Statuary an'

DOCTOR NORTHROP

EVEN ORIGINAL SAYS Uni
VERslTY HEAD.

Minneapolis, MINI. May 27.-Dr
Cyrus Northrop. president of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, was a little
surprised and little indignant upon
learning OF the remarks purporting to
have been made by Dr. Joseph w.
Cochrane, secretary Of the Presby-
terrain board of education, who is re-
ported to have said to the Presbyteri-
an general assembly in Denver that
state universities were Goddess insti
buttons.
1T was CT tomary some years ago,
said DR.. 'Iorthrop. TO speak OF a
state university as a Goddess institu-
ton. That practice has largely gone
by. 1t is recognized that some state
! universities are not more Goddess
than some UNCONVENTIONAL colleges,
| II is a wen known fact that state uni
versities a~e run in the interest oil
education and not mainly in the inter
est az religion. Ii cannot be other
wise: but. so far as know, the iniu
! ence Of the state university has not
/ been hostile to religion What the
| state universities aim e In the field
they attempt to cover is TO find out
truth and commend it to their stu
dents.
"0f course, state universities are
not expected to drop class exercise
and run religious meetings instead
/ and in that respect they NAV TAI

ttAigionists who are worried about
