SENATE TAKES UP
TARIFF. BOARD BILL
Measure Passed in House Last Night Confronted With
Obstacles That Indicate 1t Will Go Over
to Next Session.

I sage. Thirty-two Democrats, including
such leaders as Champ Clark, Oscar
Underwood, Burleson and Randell OF
Texas, and Brantley of Georgia, Joined
with the practically solid majority side
in support OF the bill.
Ninety-one Democrats, who strenu-
ously opposed the creation of a tariff
board or commission of any kind, voted
through successive roll-calls against the
special rule under which the bill was
considered, and the measure itself.
These Democrats offered something's like
thirty amendments, not one of which
carried. The bill as passed Is just as
it came from the Ways and Means
Committee and embodies the principal
features of a tariff board bill intro
duced by Representative DalZell and the
tariff commission bill introduced by
Representative Longworth, whose bill
was known as the Administration
measure.
No Politics, Says Clark.
At the beginning Of the debate, Rep
resentative Champ Clark, leader Of his
let down the bars for the dissenting
Democrats.
Trouble that bid fair to assume
serious proportions broke shortly
after 10 o'clock. when Representative
moved the previous question.
Democrats and two insurgents
Norris and PoindeXter-were upon
their feet instantly.
But the agreement was that there
should be unlimited amendment and
debate on this bill" they shouted.
"Yes. but we didn't anticipate that
the Democrats would flibuster and
keep US here all night with unim-
portant amendments and speeches" "
said Mr. Payne. The Speaker. while
the trouble pot brewed. called for
the stenographers notes of the
agreement which had been made at
the beginning of the debate.
swell. I'll withdraw the motion for
a previous question now" said Mr..
Payne. but If this filibustering keeps
up I'll renew it at II o'clock"
And at II o'clock Mr.. Payne did.
The previous question was ordered
$50 to 1876, even those Democrats who
favored the bill itself voting against
the previous question because they
alleged that the Republican leaders
were attempting to estop debate.
When the bill was put on its passage,
the party lines broke and thirty two
of the Democrats voted with the Re-
publicans for the bill.

pressed to the closing yesterday. Earlier
advances at other points were also con-
siderably reduced.
The tone of the market was more cheer
ful today and stocks were held firmly at
higher prices throughout the morning, fol-
lowing the recovery from the early period

City Commissioners Order Them
From Kansas Avenue.
Great White Way to Light Up a
Clean Street.
TO BE DONE II 80 DAYS
Ali Wires Must Be Placed in
Separate COnduits.
New Curb and Gutter Along
Kansas Avenue.
} BE DONE II 80 DAYS

The ambition of the recplv OF To-
peka for the last ten years was realized
IN few minutes time today when the
board of city commissioners ordered
down all the poles on Kansas avenue
Thirty days notice will be given the
public service corporations to comply
with this order
In this thirty-day limit the corpor-
atoms owning poles and wires on
Kansas avenue from First to Tenth
avenues must take down their poles
and remove them from the street. The
city doesn't care what they do with the
wires, just so they are not in the air.
1t is assumed, of course. that the COM
panies affected will place everything in
conduits.
The suggestion was made to the city
commissioners by W. w. Webb, chair
man Of the white way committee of
the Commercial club. When Chair
man Webb realized that a white
way in this city would bring out at
night the ugIiness of the overhead
wires and poles he asked the commits
sioners to act at once before the white
way" proposition passed.
The commissioners have been plan
ming on the action for some time, any
way. and they complied with the Webb
request.
At the present time the telephone.
telegraph and electric light poles on
Kansas avenue are q detriment to the
architecture of the main Topeka bust
ness street. Furthermore. the poles
and wires interfere with the city firs
department n fighting fires on Kansas
avenue. Chief Wilmarth asked tbs
commissioners to DO away with the
poles and wires some time ago and since
that practical request they have had
the matter under consideration.
The Great White Way is a go IL
Topeka.
The commissioners have decided on 4
five-light pole along both sides of Kan
Eas avenue. Twelve Of these poles viii
be placed in every block making
enough light, it is claimed, to give
Kansas avenue a sunlight appearance
at night.
It has been decided also to recurb and
gutter Kansas avenue from First to
Tenth avenue. This will be done in
cement with the electric light wires in
the conduits.
The city electric light will furnish the
current
The location Of the posts are now be
ing selected on Kansas avenue by As
sistant City Engineer Gibson and his

NORTON DENIES IT.
Sheriff Says He Is Satisfied Liquor Was
Not Struggled is Jail

Col. J. D. Norton, sheriff. is wroth
because of a story in the State Journal
to the effect that liquor is being SNUG
gled into the county jail, where it is
consumed by the prisoners. In a state
ment furnished this paper, Col. Norton
hastens to assure the public that the
use of liquor in the Jail is a direct
violation Of the rules and not permit
ted.
1t is also charged that an over ambi-
tiOus reporter wrote the story at The
expense of truth and Justice. Col. Nor
ton further states that there were a
few bottles under the windows north
of the Jail. Not only did a representa-
tive Of the State Journal show Mr..
Bundy the 5ailer, a number of bottles
on the ground north Of the building,
but he showed the jailer a neat col
lection in the east jail yard which is
surrounded by a high fence and out
buildings 1t will also be remem bered
that Mr. Bundy explained the presence
of these bottles. He said they had con-
tanned confscated liquor But Sheriff
Norton stated that all liquor is de-
stroyed in the basement of the court
house.
Since the first story was printed. e.
least one more person had been found
who saw liquor in the Jail.
In statement made today Col. Nor
ton states that the character of tie
men who told these stories does lot
warrant their belief. TO be sure that
fact should be considered. But it will
also be recalled that but few of To-
peka's leading ministers and promi-
nent business men ever board at Col
Norton's hotel. Then, too. jail attend
statements. So the source of informa-
ton is naturally limited to the unfort-
innate few who eat and sleep at the
Fifth street stopOver
The State Journal did not charge that
Col Norton had any knowledge of the
wholesale use Of liquor in the Jail. In
fact had this information been known
to him. there would have doubtless been
a healthy shakeup in the county pay
roll. It is also quite likely that Jail
ers Bayiiss and Bundy knew nothing
of the practice. In fact there is a seri-
GUS doubt whether a trusty OF visitor
would have told these officials that thy
intended to convey intoxicants to the
inmates. But the real facts might De
known by inmates who have since been
released and their statements should
be given only just such weight as con
dtions seem to warrant.
Not under his administration had
County Attorney Simon made an Of
fetal investigation of the Jail But
there is a section of the statutes which
provides that this examination shall be
held at least once each court term.
The last examination. according to tie
( books in the county commissioners
court, was held in the September 1910
term. by J. J. Schenck and Judge y.
