CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATIC
 ON ISSUE OF LOW TARIFF.

(By Governor Simeon D. Baldwin,
 believe that our people generally are convinced that the present tariff laws are prejudicial to their real in terests and favor few beyond req son at the cost of all the rest of us. They want a careful and fair read justment of customs duties, which will look toward an ultimate reduc- ton on many items, if not all, so as to leave them the object of no fur ther protection than is needed to GOV CT the increased labor cost due to the high wages earned by American labor. They want a larger free list and one containing more articles that count for som mething to the ordinary man. They think lower tariff would leave fewer overgrown trusts. They want less standardization of power at Washington. They think the Demo- cratic party should use its control of Congress in these directions with firm hand and if it does I believe Connecticut will be found in the Democratic column next fall.

GIVES SENATE SHOCK
Wickersham Declines to Furnish In
formation Asked For.

Washington, March 25.-Attorney
General Wickersham caused a stir in
the senate today by refusing to sup
ply information concerning the Teor-
ganization of the International Har-
vester company, asked by a resolution
adopted March 16. Senator Bacon
took exception not only to the attor-
ney generals action but to the man
ner of communicating it. Mr.. Wick
sham said in his letter that il was
incompatible with the interest of the
United States to supply the informa-
ton desired because the correspon-
dence on file related to business I'M
finished.
MIR. Bacon said the language was
discourteous and that apparently the
attorney general had forgotten that he
was creature of congress. Mr.. Wick
sham wrote:
II am directed by the president to
say that in my opinion it is not COM
patible to supply the information
Mr.. Borah said he did not see how
the president could give instructions
regarding the attorney generals opin-
ion.
Nor do l." responded Mr.. Bacon.
Several senators suggested that Mr..
Bacon should move that the communi-
cation be not received but he did not
do so and on motion of Mr. Lea it
was laid on the table for consideration
at another time.

Color of Walls of Library Hall Doesn't
Suit Artists.

An art committee of the Topeka
School of Art has been formed for the
purpose of stimulating interest in
things artistic in Topeka. The first
move on the part of the members has
been to plan for an art exhibit in the
City Library building Max HageG1orn
was the promoter of the enterprise.
This afternoon the city library man
aging board decided to have the art
as this work is completed the exhibit
of the work of the 10 members of the
committee will be held.
The present coloring of the art
room,' said George NJ. Stone a the
Commercial club this afternoon, de
stroys the warmth and life of the pic
lures. The retinting of the walls will
be of advantage in the display of the
collection now on the walls as well as
the pictures which will be exhibited by
the art committee.
L do not believe that the people of
Topeka fully realize what an interest
there is N the art section of the Ii
Drary building. The collection is worth
at least $4,000. 1t is composed of the
Col. A. S. Johnson collection and other
pictures that were purchased from
fund that the late Edward Wilder col
lected. There are some very fine pic
lures in the collection They would
have been appreciated more fully had
the wall coloring been different
The artists who are members of the
new organization are: Max HagendorIi,
Albert T. Reid, George M. Stone, Har-
vey Parsons, Carl P. Bolmar, David

CHINA IS SUSPICIOUS.
Believes Sextette of Powers Seeks a
Monopoly of Resources.

Shanghai, March 25.-Premier Tang
ShaO vi and DR.. Sun Vat Sen today
conferred on the adjustment of the
new cabinet to be submitted to the Ma
tional assembly at Nankin, probably
tomorrow. The National assem- bly,
strongly is opposed to the granting of
a monopoly of the Chinese loans to
the financial groups representing the
six powers, the United States, Great
Britain, Germany, France, Russia and
Japan. 1t insists that the recent agree
ment for the advance of a specified
amount left China free to cAntract
loans on any security other than that
to which the seXtette had agreed.
The Kalgan railway did not form
part of this security. The govern
ment had contracted on the security
of the Kalgan railroad with the Anglo
Belgians only because the sextette had
failed to advance the promised in
stallment at a critical moment when
money was an essential factor in
maintaining order. The assembly in
sists that China is willing to support
Premier Tang Shao vi and President
Yua Kai but they now suspect the
''sextette' is seeking a financial mon
opoly and to obtain control of China's
