SENATE T.ANGLE
SPLITS PARTIES
Dozen Democrats in Conference
Declare for Straight Bill With
out Amendments, While
Others Propose to Force
Lower Tariff Duties Past
President Taft.

Washington. D. c.. June IA de-
ciaration for straight reciprocity, at an
Informal conference of dozen Dem
ocratic Senators, willing. to vote down
all amendments to the bill: an amend
ment by Senator Bailey adding to the
reciprocity measure all the House free
list provisions except meats and grain
products; a unanimous decision of the
Senate to vote Monday on the Root
a amendment to the wood pulp and paper
schedule-these were features in the
reciprocity fight to-day But there
were no speeches on the subject, and
the conversation was confined to the
office rooms. where the reciprocity
agreement was the chief topic OF com
ment.
Senator Bailey announced his inten-
ton to press his amendment vigorously.
While looking forward TO the addition
of some of the tariff provisions to the
Canadian bill he admitted that such
action probably would come only as
the result of q prolonged struggle.
The informal conference was held in
the office of Senator Smith, of South
Carolina. Mr.. Smith was outspoken In
opposition to amendments. and he and
John SHARP Williams united with SEN
ator Stone in declaring that 1t was un-
wise 10 Risk reciprocity for something

realized that such course would be
Impossible with reciprocity pending. 3
There was no difficulty In getting a
general consent TO vote on the Root
provision before adjournment Monday.
Senator Penrose. who made the request
for the agreement. based 1t upon the
desire of Senator Root to be absent
from the city for few days. No voice
was raised against the proposition. Mir.
Root joins with most OF her Senator'S In
predicting the defeat OF his provision.
Sens tor Stone. who returned from
Missouri to-day. promptly expressed
his disapproval OF all efforts to amend
the reciprocity bill even by the ,addi-
wool. He talked with a dozen or more
OF tbs reciprocity Senator's and he said
he had not found one detection.
Senator Simmons. of North Carolina,
was inclined to take the opposite view.
He was of the opinion that there would

Fostered by Prohibition Move
ment, Mail Order Business Has
Grown Till Now 10000, 900
Gallons Of Liquor Are Ship

Territory.

Washington. D. C.. June zS.-Ap-
proximately 10000, 900 gallons or
liquors annually are shipped By ex-
houses direct to consumers In prohi-
bition States.
This startling fact was developed
to.day in an inquiry conducted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission into
proposed changes in express classin-
cations, which resulted in an advance
of rates on packages containing
& liquors. The commission held that the
express requirement that liquor con-
latners should be packed in corrugat-
I'd paper cartons was reasonable; but
Mat the charge for transportation
based upon arbitrary weights-eigh-
ieen pounds for a gallon OF whiskey
packed-was unreasonable. and that
lhe discrimination against stone jugs
also was unreasona BILE.
Commissioner AcChord. who con-
Iucted the inquiry and prepared the
opinion OF the commission. points out
that the industry. directly concerned
Ia that OF the mall order liquor houses.
at was the spread OF the prohioi-
ton movement the opinion says.
that gave vitality TO this character
OF traffic in liquor With Statewide
prohibition came the interstate trarnc
in liquor. The decision OF the Supreme
Court that this traffic was interstate.
and. therefore, superior to interference
by the State governments. gave the
Industry a tremendous impetus, ana

tho country, partly because of the e1-
tent OF the prohibition territory in
that section partly because OF the
large quantities of very cheap wnis-
key manufactured and shipped there

ulation." III
The opinion concludes with the
statement that. although 1T Is not the
function of the commission TO dwell
on the moral aspect of the question,
1T is considered that the traffic mas an
