NO FEDERAL AID FOR
 SOUTH CAROLINA.
Action of Governor BIease Makes it
 Impossible.

Washington, June 25.-iWithdrawaI from South Carolina of the support given by the federal government to the organized militia of all other states and territories brought many inquiries to the war department today and caus- ed Secretary Garrison to issue the fol- lowing statement:
 With Respect to inquiries made of me concerning the relationship between this department and the governor of South Carolina, the facts are briefly;
 Those in control Of the National Guard of South Carolina were not complying with the law entitling them to federal aid. The attention of the governor was called to this and a. rath- CT sharply worded reply received. Fear ing that there was some mtsunder- standing, I wrote a long explanatory letter to the governor stating the law and the particulars in which his state had failed to comply, and suggested that upon this being brought to his attention it was supposed that he would desire to comply with the law and con tinue to receive federal aid. In re- sDonse I have received enother sharply worded letter reiterating his previous position and practically stating that South Carolina did not wish any fed eraI aid and would not do those things necessary to secure it. The latest let ter received by me from the governor, which is self explanatory and seems to close the matter. IS as follows:
 June "A, 1918. Hon. Lind1ey M Garrison, Secretary
 of War, Washington, D. C.:
 After careful consideration of your communication Qetter of June ID am forced to the conclusion that you leave the war department no other course to pursue than to withdraw all federal assistance to the organized militia of South Carolina, and it is with great re- gret that have to inform you that such action will be immediately taken
 This announcement ts very pleas ant to me, fought this Dick law when I was in fha senate. and I have seen the wisdom of my opposition since, and nothing gives me moro pleasure than to see South Carolina relieved of its i'm iauiteus provisions.
 sThanlsing you on behalf of myself, I am, Very respectfully.

Senate Caucus
 For Free Sugar
OPPONENTS COULD MUSTER BUT
 TEN VOTES.
FREE WOOL SUSTAINED
But Six Votes Cast Against This Item of Tariff RiII-caucus Action May Be Made Binding on Democrats.

Washington, June 25.--F'ree sugar in 1916 and free raw wool are now estab- lished in the tariff revision bill, having been approved late today by the demo- cratic caucus of the senate after a two days fight. The sugar schedule as reported by the majority members of the finance committee, and practically as it passed the house. was approved by a vote of 40 to 6. Free raw wool as submitted by the majority, and just ate caucus by a vote of Al to 6.
 Followed Hard Fight
 This ratification of President Will upon the wool and sugar propositions before the ways and means committee In the beginning. came after a long se- ries of developments since the tariff bill passed the house, in which the president has been an active partici- pant When the fight of the anti-free sugar and anti free wool democrats was getting hot the president issued a public statement declaring that any suggestion of compromise on his wool and sugar schedule ideas was abso- Iutely out of the question, and later he stirred all administration leaders to action when he made his charge about the existence in Washington of an in sidious lobby investigation of which has brought about results regarded as favorable to the tariff bill
 The Opposition Senators.
 The six democratic senators who voted against free sugar on the final vote approving the schedule were Hitchcock, Nebraska: NewIands. Ne vada; Ransdell and Thornton, Indiana; Shafroth of Colorado and Walsh of Montana The six who opposed free raw wool to the end were Chamberlain of Oregon; Newlands Nevada; Rans- dell and Thornton. Louisiana, Shafroth and Walsh. No attempt was made in the caucus today to bind the members to the action of the caucus. The question will come up when the entire bill has been passed upon. Some mem bers will fight 1t. but administration leaders said tonight they believed only the two Louisiana senators would ask to be released from the caucus pledge if one is submitted. The general opin- ion is that binding resolution will be offered.
 Ten Votes on Sugar Amendment.
 Approval of the schedule came after prolonged discussion and after several amendments had been voted down. On some of the amendments the oppsition showed more strength, the maMmuT1 being ten votes for Senator Shafroth s amendment to the sugar schedule. This would have eliminated free sugar and substituted duty of approximately one half cent a pound on refined su- gar. This amendment was lost by a vote of 37 to 10, Sena tors Thompson, Chamberlain, Hitchcock, Newlands, Shafroth, Lane, Ransdell, Thornton, Tillman and Walsh voting for 1t.
