TARIFF BILL HOLDS
RECIPROCITY CLAUSE

mutual concessions are made look
ing toward freer trade relations and
further expansion of trade ano
commerce."
Such reciprocity agreements, under
the new law, would have to be APP
proved by Congress, before becoming
effective. In a statement accompany
ing the bill, Chairman Underwood de-
clared that under the Payne law the
United States had attempted to Eek
pand our commerce by force"
present Law Stand-and-Deliver One"
1--WE went to the nations of the
world with the demand that they
stand and deliver, or we Would punish
Them" he said. Many years ago
this system of expanding trade and
commerce was abandoned by the en-
lightened nations. The only true
course that can be pursued to expand
our foreign trade along rational lines
is through mutual concessions that
may prove beneficial to both of the
contracting parties, free from coer-
cion."
Another concession that would be
made by the new bill is designed to
encourage American shipping. A con-
cession of per cent. would be made
in all tariff rates on goods brought to
this country in built ships,
owned wholly by American citizens.
Restrictions upon Philippine imports
practically are removed by the new
bill, and important changes in the
method of enforcing customs law are
provided, following out the recon-
mendations made after recent inves-
legations of the customs service.

Mr.. WILSON TAKES
CONGRESS ABACK
Presidents Decision to Read
Message Has No Precedent
Since John Adams.

WASHINGTON, April President
Wilson's determination to read his
own message to Congress tomorrow
has completely displaced the tariff
and the income tax as subjects OF
chief popular interest. No President
since John Adams has awaited himself
of---tha right. Congress was amazed
when it heard of the Presidents plan.
Some of the old line leaders refused
to believe it until Secretary Tumulty
personally confirmed the news
Arrangements for the extraordinary
event got under way today. 1t was
planned that the President should
first go to his room on the Senate side
of the capitol and later go to the hall
Of the House OF Representatives
where both branches of Congress will
be assembled. The legislative pre-
lininaries to get the blouse and Sen
ate together were being laid out to-
day Under ordinary circumstances
the two bodies meet in joint. session
only once every four years, and then
for the perfunctory ceremony of can
wasting the electoral vote.
Message in His Pocket.
President Wilson intends to slip
duietJy away from the White House.
with his message in his pocket and
attended by probably only one Sc
cret service man, ride TO his office.
Almost Immediately some of the
Presidents friends say he may be ex
pected to deliver all his principal
messages to Congress in the same
way as his term goes on, though he
would not do so with every communi-
cation he sends.
The President regards that method
as one dignified way to keep in touch
with Congress- He already has let
1t be known that he intends TO make
frequent use of the Presidents room
during session of Congress to keep In
close touch with the legislative situa-
ton. Most other Presidents have used
the room for an hour or two during
the closing hours of each session of
Congress.
President Wilson was asked today
what motive impelled him to renew
the custom of a century ago.
The Digniaed Way.
THE reason is very simple" he
said 81 think that that is the only
dignified way for the President to
address the houses at the opening of
the session, instead of sending the
address by the messenger and letting
the clerk read it perfunctorily in the
familiar clerks tone of voice.
thought that the dignlfled and natural
thing was to read it, 1t is a prece-
dent which, it is true, has been dis
continued long time, but which Is
very respectable precedent"
The President was asked If he ex-
pected that there would be answers
from Congress. as there had been In
the old days, but he smilingly replied
that the only response he looked for
was the legislative answer.
The President explained that he in
tended to make his visit as simple as
possible. He said that he had asked
Senator Kern and Mr.. Underwood
leader of the House, If it would be
agreeable for him to come, and they
both had said that it would and that
in this they represented the feeling
of their colleagues.

FIELDER REBUKES
FELIX TUMULTY
Tilt With Brother of Presidents
Secretary at Hearing
on Bill.
IErom "A staff Correspondence

TRENTON. N. j., April 7.-Gov-
ernor Fielder today gave a hearing on
Senator Edges bill to amend the COM
mission government act by allowing
| individual commissioners to appoint
| and discharge employees in their own
departments. At the conclusion of
the hearing the governor withheld his
| decision
Felix Tumulty, of Jersey City. a
brother to President Wilson's secre-
tary. irritated Governor Fielder when
Mr.. Tumulty said the act in question
would tend to lessen the effectiveness
of civil service and tenure of office
laws Mr. Tumulty added that he
could not support man running for
public office who would lessen the
, effectiveness of either of these laws.
please do not make those kinds of
remarks. Mr.. Tumulty," the governor
said.
Il am not speaking of your guber-
material candidacy, governor" Mr..
Tumulty replied.
well 1 don't like the remark" the
Governor rejoined
ut is a good argument, Governor"
said MIR. Tumulty
well, il | cannot stop you, l sup
pose you will have to go on the
Governor said
Mr. Tumulty then proceeded to
point out the defects in the bill and
asked the Governor To veto it.
Another surprise was sprung when
Mayor Fred w. Donnelly, of Tren-
ton in an impassioned speech asked
Governor Fielder to sign the amend
ment to the Walsh act, as it would
afford greater efficiency in the work
ing of commission government cities.
Mayor Donnelly showed the Governor
copy of a Trenton paper, the Tren-
ton Times, which he denounced vehe-
mently for representing his position
with relation to the bill. Mayor Don
nelly said the amendment was a
meritorious one and should be signed
by the executive.
Judge John Treacy and Judge Rob
ert Carey, sof Jersey City, represent
ing various employees of Hudson
County, opposed the bill. The Jersey
City representatives. anticipating the
adoption of commission government in
that city on April Is. said the bill
would give individual commissioners
sole power of appointment and re-
moval of subordinates in their de-
partments and would throw employees
out of their position who had been
there for years.
Representatives of the state PATROL
mems Benefit Association also spoke
in opposition to the signing of the
bill, as il would give the commission
err in charge of the police department
sole power of removal and appoint
ment at will without charges or
hearing, as there was no provision in
the amendment for either.
Senator Edge and Assemblyman
Salus, of Atlantic county, spoke in
favor of the bill. Assistant Attorney
Gasfill told the Governor in his opin-
ion the proposed amendment would
not work in opposition to the tenure
of service and civil service laws. b.
Saligman, of Newark, a member of
the Newark Civil Service Association,
asked the Governor to veto the meas
ure in the interest of the eivil service
laws.

GERMANY WA|('
SISTER POWEA
FatherIand Must Be Ready With
Last Man, Says Kalser's
Chancellor.

BERLIN, April 7.-"If outside forces
should threaten us, Germany must
stand ready with her last man." de-
cIared DIR. Won Bethmann-HollWeg,
the imperial chancellor, in parliament
today, while submitting the govern
ments bill for increasing the army
and for providing new forms OF tax
alton. His speech was striking one.
although he qualified his warning
with the admission that "a European
confiagration in all probability VIII
not occur
"The good intentions of the French
and Russian governments are beyond
question" declared the chancellor,
but Germany must reckon with the
great force of modern public opinion,
which in the form of French wariike
patriotism and Russian pan-Slayism
threatens the peace of the world
against the wishes of the great
masses of both peoples"
1t was noteworthy that in the chan
cellor's speech Great Britain was re-
ferred to only as a pacific factor.
Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg, although
indicating by his manner that he had
little belief in the practicability of the
suggestion made by the British adj
mralty for years naval holiday,
said Germany was willing to consider
concrete proposals from the British
government.
The imperial chancellor opened his
speech by pointing out that the
strength of the RAINY had not kept
pace with the growth of the German
nation, and asked: Can Germany
allow itself the luxury of dispensing
with tens of thousands of trained sol
diers?" He continued:
1.-THE conditions of Europe have
been radically changed by the Balkan
war which has substituted for the
passive European Turkey, other
states of feverish political activity.
In all this. there are factors Of pro-
gress indeed, but should a great
European conflagration between
Germanism and Pan Slavism come,
this change would adter the balance
in Germanys disfavor. This does
not alter the fact that | consider
this conflict probably will be
avoided
The chancellor then reiterated
/ Prince Bismarcks saying:
IF the French wait for us to at
tack them they will wait forever. :"
