CARTER AND BALLOU
TESTIFY BEFORE THE
LOBBY COMMITTEE

in Campaign Against
Free Sugar

AGENT OF INTERESTS
Paid Yearly Salary of $4,000 and

Given by Carter

Washington, June 10.-For six hours to-
day former Governor Carter ard Sidney
Ballou, two of the men who have con-
Quoted the fight OF Hawaiian producers in
Washington to retain a duty on sugar,
outlined to the Senate lobby investigating
committee their activities here and else
where.
Governor Carter testified that he was
paid nothing and received only his ex-
penses. Mr. Balou said he was the tresu-
lar agent of the sugar producers in Wash
ington, with salary of $4,000 year and
$4,000 year for expenses
Both agreed that about 100000 had been
spent by the sugar people in their CAM
paign against free sugar. but denied there
had been any tangible combination be-
tween the United States cane and beet and
Hawaiian cane producers with q common
fund directed to influencing legislation.
The session at times grew warm.
Sharp Cross Examination
Senators Walsh and Reed put Governor
Carter through a sharp cross examina-
tion, under which the witness appeared
fully able to take care of himself. He
declared that an audience with President
Wilson for the Hawaiian sugar men had
been denied by Secretary Tumulty and
that a member of the Senate finance sub
committee IN charge of sugar had sug-
gested that they be given hearing "after
the passage of the BILL" Mr.. Ballou said
later that Senator Gore had made this
statement.
Governor Carter said that three sena-
tors, Swanson, Lewis and Williams, had
told him or Hawaiian friends that they
were not in sympathy with free sugar,
but since 1t was advocated by the demo-
cratic party they must vote for it. He
declared that he had got no satisfaction
when he spoke of hearings to members of
the cabinet. congressman and senator's.

THE HOME RULE BILL
PASSES END READING
Passage Marked by Heated
Debates by Opposition
Speakers

London, June 10.-The house of COM
mons tonight passed the second reading
of the home rule for Ireland bill with
out division, an amendment by Mr.. Bal
four for the rejection of the measure
having been previously defeated s6S TO
270. The announcement of the figures
was received with cheering by liberal
and natonalsts.
The debate was marked by fierce decla- :
rations by the opposition speakers who
predicted the imposition of home rule
would result in civil war in Ireland Sir
Edward Carson, the Irish unionist leader,
said:
For my part | will continue to sup
port the Ulster men and will take full
responsibility for their resistance. You
may seize their arms or send troops but
you will not settle the Irish question You
know that you are growing about peace
when there is no peace and you will fail
in your object"
Lord Charles Beresfofd declared: 'Tf
the government sends troops to Ireland
I shall offer my services, poor as they
may be, and help my fellow country
men,"
John e. Redmond, the irish nationalist
leader. said Sir Edward Carson had taken
upon himself grave responsibility and did
not represent listers opinion. The ma
tionalists Were willing to make any con-
cessions, But" added Mr. Redmond,
"twenty-four counties will not allow
themselves to be intimidated by four.
Denies Bargain
Andrew Bonar Law, opposition leader
said that if there were a bargain be-
tween the government and the national
lists the House ought to know. Mr.. Red
mond denied the existence of a bargain
and Premier Asquith supported the de-
nial.
Mr.. Law continued: 1.-THE government
is compelling the whole unionist party
to take the side of Ulster. If the gov
ernment forces the bill through under
present conditions it will be a self con-
stituted revolutionary committee and IN
ster can only meet revolution by counter
revolution
The bill now enters the suggestive stage
before it's inevitable rejection by the
lords
Sir Edward Carson, after the pa ssage OF
the bill, said the Irish unionist members
would refuse to take part in any fur
ther discussion because their suggestions
would certainly be rejected Those mem
bers, in a body, will tour the principal
cities in England and Scotland, hold
ing meetings to protest against the bill.
The nationalists are downhearted at
the possibility that the government will
not last for the third passage of the BILL
necessary to make it law.

ELIMINATION Of
THE
CLAUSE is URGED
Would Exact Additional
Duties on Certain Imports
Sold in United States.
Amendment Proposed

Washington, June illumination of the
anti-dumping clause .of the Underwood
tariff bill, which would exact additional
duties ON imports sold in this country at
less than the foreign market price was
recommended today by the Senate finance
sub committee in charge of the admins
trative features of the measure.
This clause as it passed the House was
not extended TO articles on the free list
and was objected to by the Senate leaders
on the ground tat it was discriminatory.
1t was first proposed that the provision
be amended 10 irciude the free list, but
this was finally abandoned many senators
concluding that the clause was imrracti-
cable and that It would preciiptate retalia-
tory action by foreign nations which
would be disadvantageous to the extension
of American trade in the markets of the
world.
The clause would provide that goods
sold here at less tnan the foreign price
should he dutiable at a rate equal to The
difference between the consignment and
Hoiit Iidihet price, SoOuS uutldDle at 30
per cent or more TO be exempt.
Recommendation Not Passed
The recommendation to eliminate the
provision has not yet been passed on by
the majority members of the finance COM
mittee, but 1t will come up together with
the recommendation to eliminate the pro-
vision granting a per cent duty discount
on goods imported in American owned or
controlled vessels, to which objection was
made by foreign nations.
Another provision objected to by foreign
countries which would require foreign
manufacturers to submit their books in
cases of valuation disputes, is certain to
be modified If not stricekn from the bill.
The majority members of the commit
tee began today consideration of subcom-
mittee reports and ratified changes in the
