END SATURDAY NIGHT.
Flow of Oratory Under the Five-Min-
ute Rule More Spirited Than in the
General Debate.


tariff grind, the House today put be-
hind i. the troublesome steel schedule
and moved on toward another stumb-
lirg block-sugar. Sandwiched be-
tween the steel and sugar schedules
was "wood and manufactures Of" but
The fight on free lumber did not COM
pare in intensity with that waged by
Louisiana and Colorado members in
hopeless alttcmpt to prevent the re-
auctions on sugar.
Congressman Underwood hopes to
finish the tariff bill Saturday night,
bu. it became evident today that a
soft pedal must be put on the debate
if this is to be done. The flow of ora
tory under the five minute rule is
even more heated than that which oc-
Cured under the license of general
debate, and Mr.. Underwood must be
on the lid cons antliy 10 KEEP the talk
frcm, greatly delaying the passage of
the bill.
One of the most stirring incidents
connected with the consideration Of
the bill was staged at the night ses-
sion last night, when the House lead
ers wrangled over what constitutes
"selfshness." congressman Mann,
Underwood ard Palmer participated
in this discussion, and Mr.. Under
woods speech was dramatic.
Congressman Kreider, Pennsyl-
vania Republican, offered an amend
ment to reduce the duty on hooks and
eyes used in shoe manufacturing
Congressman Palmer, Pennsylvania
Democrat, sought 10 rebuke his Key
store State colleague, calling aHen-
zion to the fact that Mr.. krledler
was a shoe manufacturer, and alleg-
ing that he was endeavoring "to put
money in his own pocket"
This aroused Coneressman Mann,
the minority leader, who said:
81 suppose next that we will be told
that gentlemen in this House who own
farms or who are Interested in agrl-
culture have no right to propose
amendments or to vote upon PROPOSE
tons affecting the tariff upon aglt-
cultural products; but think of a
speech of that sort coming from one
Of the older members of this House,
when the gentleman from Alabama,
(Mr. Underwood) who introduced the
bill affecting the tariff upon iron and
steel products is himself arr iron
and steel manufacturer!'
Congressman Underwood expressed
his regret THAI Mr.. Mann "has
brought me into the question:"
The minority leader said he meant
no personal reflection on Mr.. Under
wood. "who has never used his official
position to the advantage of his pri-
vate business" Then the Alabama
leader, with dramitic intensity, clos
ed the debate by defining what he con-
sidered the duties Of member of
Congress to be.

Measure.

some unforeseen comp lications arise to
delay action, the UPPER house Of the
State legislature today will pass on
final reading the Webb bill restrict
ing the ownership of land by aliens.
Legislators add that it would 60
through the House in s hort order and
be signed promptly by Governor john
son.
According to Senate leaders, Sena-
tor Wright is the only nj ember of the
upper body who is on recprd as oppos-
ing the measure. The Democrats,
despite the urgings of Secretary of
Safe Bryan, declare they will support
some anti-alien measure a nd none has
yet been found to CRITICS the Webb
bill.
"The bill will be reached today, and
will certainly pass" saiq Senator
Boynton, Progressive leader. 81 have
heard of no opposition"
Said Senator Campbell, Democratic
leader: "The Democrats are all for

Bryan's mission a failure, | consider

er nations, that the United States will

Washington, May 1.-Alttpugh
maintaining policy Of strict silence,
the White House let it become Known
today that Mr.. Bryan's mission to
California it not regarded as fail
ure, because it has brought the Fed
eral and the State government to an
understanding with each other, even
though radically different views of the
proposed anti-alien land law prevail.
President Wilson probably will send
his final instructions to Mr.. Bryan be-
fore leaving for New Jersey al 3
o'clock this afternoon. Although he
will not confer with Acting Secretary
of State Moore before going on the
trip, it is believed that a definite pol
icy has been outlined.
Japan will make no further diplo-
matte representations 70 this govern
ment regarding its attitude on the
California anti-alien land laws until
the measure formally has been made
statute. This information was CIV
en- today by japanese who is in po-
sition to know.
Japan's attitude tody is as it has
been throughout the negotiations on
the California legislation, is a most
conciliatory one, and at no time have
any diplomatic utterances been made
to the State Department that might
be construed as an "ultlmatum." The
japanese government and the embas-
sy in Washington deeply regret the
published accounts Of the "jingo war
talk" meetings THAI are being held in
japan, and more deeply regret the
recent speech of Congressman sisson.

The fact that japanese have bought
1900 acres of land adjoining the
smokeless powder plant of the Du
Pont Company at Haskell, N. j., near
Pompton has been known to Off
Gals of the company for some time.
1t has no significance and is merely
coincidence. The matter was not
regarded as being of sufficient i'm
portance to form the subject for
discussion at our board meetings.
The statement that the Japanese
bought this land possibly for the p,lr-
pose Of being able to destroy the
Haskell plant in the event of war is
absurdity. This announcement was
made yesterday by Col. Edward G.
Buckner, vice-president of the Du

FABLE FOR BENEFIT

Simeon Ford, the noted humorist.

There Is a fable that all advertisers

cobwebs across his door were rent
apart, and a goose entered.

smile. He thought he had customer.

Hurt of UnkInd Words.

Unknd words are sharper than

Is but temporary pain: If your heart

the suffering continues as long as your
memory is working. Since we all
know the agony OF injured feelings 1t
certainly behooves all of US to be
sparing with singing conversation.
AS one grows wiser and older one
pays little heed to what others say.
Unkind things then apparently don't
have the power to hurt The older,
wiser ones just twirl their thumbs and
smile. 1t Is q great relief when one
gets to that point of perfect tranquil
