Debate Wakes Hot on
Farmers Free List Bill

WASHINGTON, May S.-After two
weeks of general debate" the house
today began actual work OF consider
ing the Democratic farmers free list
bill. Immediately after converting
Rep. Underwood (Dem., Ala, the
majority floor leader, moved TO read
the measure for amendment. He ex
pressed the belief that final vote
would be taken before adjournment
this evening.
Half dozen members clamored for
recognition when reading OF the
amendment began. Rep. Hammill
(Rep., n. j., made a five-minute
speech supporting the measure.
Majority Leader Mann (Rep, Ill,
offered an amendment to make the
free list dependent upon foreign coun
tries. granting like concessions TO the
United States in imports, making the
free list practically reciprocity
measure.
Rep. Underwood (Dem., Ala, made
point of order against the amend
ment on the ground that II was not
germane.
Mann then proposed that -four
should not be on the free list to
countries which imposed any restric
ton on -four from America This was
also ruled out. Similar amendments
relating to lard and cottonseed oil
proposed by the minority leader were
likewise ruled out after Mann had
made ali impassioned plea for the
American products guaranteed right
treatment abroad Mann appealed
On rising vote, the chairs decision
was sustained, las to 103. The Re-
publican leader then demanded tell
ers
The vote was on party lines, sus-
tanning the chair by It's to 105.
Undeterred by this, Mann offered a
similar rule in regard to potash.
Mann said that II was aimed at Ger
many, which restricted It's potash ex-
ports. The chair again ruled Mann
amendment out OF order. He prompt.
ly demanded another appeal. Elk
Speaker Cannon arose TO protest
against the ruling on Mann's amend
ments, warning the Democrats that
they were piling up presidents which
would come up later to plague them.
Meanwhile, Rep. Kinds (Rep, Maine)
formerly parliamentarian Of the
house, took seat next TO that OF
Mann, figuring up new parliamentary
hurdles for the Democrats to lump.
Rep. Alexander (Dem., MOI, was In
the chair.

for vice-president The Rev. II. Sid
ney Bullock had no opposition for the
Office Of secretary-treasurer An ef-
fort was made to have the Rev Z. b..
Cutler. of the Fourteenth-aye. Baptist
church, continue as secretary-treas-
urer, but he asked TO be excused, on
account OF having recently been elect
ed secretary OF the Pastors union. In
his report Mr.. Cutler showed that the
receipts and expenditures for the year
were about the same.
Mr.. Cutler explained. however. that
he thought the dues should be raised
from so cents TO 20 cents year, 80
that more money might be available
for the expenses of the conference.
The new secretary seconded Mr.. Cut.
ler's motion for the boost, but no one
else supported the conspiracy OF the
retiring and incoming secretaries" as
President Fixes humorously referred
10 the matter when announcing the
defeat Of the proposal.
The Rev F. X. Swartout, who was
TO deliver an address on Optimism
and pessimism, according to the
word" failed to appear. He was on
the regular program to speak next
Monday, but II was decided. week
ago, to have the paper today, mas
much as the Pastors union postponed
its regular monthly meeting. SEIZED.
uled for today, until next Monday.
Mr.. Swartout, when communicated
with by Secretary-elect Bullock, this
morning, said that he had not been
notified OF the change In the program
and was planning to give his paper
next Monday Secretary Cutler said
he had sent Mr. Swartout a post
card advising him OF the change. but
that II might have gone astray, be-
cause OF Mr.. Swartout having changed
his address.
In place of hearing Mr.. Swartout,
the members OF the conference relat-
ed the progress their churches had
made In the past few months.
President-elect Young, who came
to the North Woodward Baptist con.
gregation from Ann Arbor, five
years ago, said that he had given the
hand of church fellowship TO 20 per-
sons, Sunday, and that the member
ship had increased from 100 to about
500 since he had come here, 10 hav.
ing been added in the past year.
ne rev. NJ. L. FlkeS, Ol the 'WOOu-
ward-ave Baptist church, said he re-
ceived so as members of his church,
Sunday. He expected to have 81,
but they all couldn't attend. The
membership OF his church had been
increased by SCI In the two years he
had been in Detroit the roll now
showing 1913 members. Mr.. Fixes
spoke with enthusiasm In regard to
his new church house, mentioned In
The Times, last Monday. While he
had thus far secured 100000 in cash
and pledges for the structure, he was
satisfied he would have no difficulty
getting an additional $4,000. which
will be necessary TO complete the
building. One half of the congrega-
ton had not yet been canvassed, he
said II pleased him to know that
much of the money was being sub
scribed as result of sacrifices on
the part of members of the congrega.

to give 800, and others were sub.
scribing by saving money on car fare

others gave glowing accounts of the

by the editor altogether The mat

zens, and between them the questions
were formulated. These two gentle
men stand as high as any in this com

made no attempt himself through this
paper as a medium to justify himself.
AS matter of fact, while he made
answer to each of the questions he
was under no obligations to answer
any. And this paper give him the OPP
portunity to further state his position.

The old Italian scissors grinder from
Palisades Park had not paid Palisade
many visits since the dog license went
into effect. He used to come around
with his bell and wheel, and sharpen
up all the knives and scissors in the
neighborhood. The other day he paid
us .desultory visit, and was asked
what had been the matter all these
long months?
