URGES STANCH
PRO ECTIVE TAX
SENATOR M'ENERY PLEADS TO
INCREASE REVENUE
LAWMAKERS FOR SEVEN HOURS
DISCUSS SUGAR TARIFF
Louisiana's Democratic Member Opens
Session with Appeal to Render
United States Independent
of Other Nations
rBy Associated Press.I


! WASHINGTON. May 26.-For more
than seven hours today the senate dis
cussed sugar, as that subject is in
volved in the pending tariff bill.
, Beginning with an effort by Senator
! McEnery, the Louisiana Democrat pro-
tectionist, there were four set speeches.
Three supported the sugar schedule as
reported from the committee on finance,
while the fourth was a plea for ma
terial reductions.
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 rem
der the United States independent of
such countries. He asserted that there
had been a change of sentiment in the
south on the subject of protection.
Senator Burrows of Michigan and
Smoot of Utah. both members of the
finance committee, also spoke in sup
port of the committees action.
Presents Analysis
Mr.. Smoot presented a carefully pre-
pared analysis of the situation, and Mr..
Burrows appealed more particularly
to popular sentiment.
The Michigan senator charged the
fish reputation for fair dealing by
pretending to be in alliance with the
beet sugar interests, which, he said,
was not the case.
He asserted that reduction of duties
would destroy the beet industry and
thus render it necessary to send $780,
600, 900 out of the country for sugar.
Mr. Bristow, the new senator from
Kansas. was the only advocate of d
reduction in the rate. He presented an
amendment eliminating all reference to
the Dutch standard in determining 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, as they
were of the protective policy.
Their desire, he said. was to prevent
graft and greed on the part of the
trusts.

SINGERS HELD FOR
BREAKING AUTO LAW
ELLIS QUARTET TAKEN TO
POLICE STATION
Allowed to Return to Theater and
Pick Up Cue After Levyng
of Provisional
Fine

The difference between stage law and
the real thing was made clear to the
Ellis quartet, who are singing at the
Grand theater this week, when husky
policeman took them into custody last
night and temporarily confiscated their
motor car, which they had left stand
ing outside the playhouse longer than
tho half hour the law allows.
The arrest ended in comedy, but for
a time it placed the four singers in
danger of having to forego their APP
pearance at the Grand, as none of them
had the necessary bail in pocket.
In the crisis of their dilemma the
police authorities agreed to a provis-
ional fine" of 81 and let the merry
warblers depart post haste for the
Grand, where their cue was impatient
ly awaiting them. Hereafter the quar-
tet will delegate one of their number
to act as perpetual chauffeur when
their car is not in garage or their
presence is not urgently demanded on
the stage.

RICHEST COUNTY HAS
NO POOR FARM SITE
SPECTATORS BUY PROPOSED
TRACTS
May Get Island to Keep Indlgents
from Spending Summers at
Newport and Atlantic
City

Ventura county is hopelessly rich, &C.
cording to 7. S. Clark one of the coun-
ty supervisors, who, with his brother,
NJ H. Clark. is in Los Angeles. The
county, which is the smallest in the
state, richest in the world in proper
ton to area, is unable to get the site
for a county poor farm. The county is
forced to pension it's INDECENT citizens,
and because of "foaters' coming in
the supervisors conceived the idea
of a poor farm. Several times
sites have been selected. 1t is neces-
sary to advertise the fact that the poor
farm will be located on this or that
tract, and invariably private parties
have bought the land, thus shutting
off the possibility of the location of the
poor farm near their homes
Poor Farm a Luxury
"All of our people are so we'll fixed
that they don't see the necessity of q
county poor farm" said Mr.. Clark last
night. I'VE pension our indigents and
have to take care of many who are not
residents of our county. We have sent
people back to Kentucky, for instance.
But we have so few poor it is almost
impossible to secure a site for a poor
farm. The citizens are not opposed
to a poor farm, but the question of To-
cation is a matter that concerns them.
Once they find we have decided to Sc
lect a particular tract someone buys
it before we can reach it through the
forms of the law. The supervisors
have been sorely put to the test in
trying to establish q poor farm. We
are daily asked, Why we should have
q poor farm. anyway and it is a hard
question to answer. I guess we'll have
to charter an island in the Pacific
ocean for the poor of Ventura county
in order to keep them from spending
their summers at Newport or Atlantic
City"
