No PUBLIC HEARING
On TARIFF MEASURE
Resolution Is Defeated in the
United States Senate.
LlFOLLETTE MAKES HARD FIGHT
Flags Democrats for Ordering Secret
Conferences on Bill, While oppo-
nents Uphold the Action of
Their Party.

Washington, d. C.-The Penrose-
senate finance committee to hold pub
lie hearings on the Underwood tariff
was lost by Al to 36. Two Democrats,
Senators Ransdell and Thornton Of
Louisiana, voted with the Republicans,
while Senator Poindexter of Washing
ton registered his ballot with the
Democrats.
Flags Secret Conferences.
This motion has held up considera-
tion of the Underwood bill for more
than week and its defeat came as a
climax of a day of exciting debate
during which Senators La Toilette,
Smoot, Gallinger, Jones and Clark of
Wyoming flayed the Democrats for or
dering secret conferences on the bill.
Senators Simmons, Smith of Georgia,
Walsh and James, Democrats, upheld
the action of their party.
Easily the most forceful address of
the day was made by Senator La Fol
lette, who favored public hearings in
general and public hearings and cross
questions on 16 questions which he Of
fered and had Incorporated in the orig
inal Penrose motion in particular.
"These questions" said La Toilette,
would winnow the chaff from the
wheat, and give the finance committee
a chance to amend intelligently the
Underwood bill if they should see fit"
Heated Debate.
The fact that extended hearings had
already been held on tariff matters at
other sessions of congress and the fur
ther fact that the finance committee
rooms were open to protesting repre-
sentatives of business interests was
the keynote of the Democratic defense.
Accredited with speaking for the presi-
dent and with the secretary of the
president, Joseph p. Tumulty, listen
ing closely in the gallery, Senator o.
lie James of Kentucky interpreted the
Baltimore platform in a rousing
speech. He said that the Baltimore
platform committed the president and
the Democratic party to free sugar.
Senator Ransdell interpreted him
with the query: did not President
Wilson in speech at Pittsburgh de-
clare he did not stand for free trader"
Senator James retorted that the
president was not free trader and
that the proposed bill calculated to
raise $300,000,000 in revenue and was
not free trade bill

Head of Steel Corporation Says There

New York City. - There is no
agreement or understanding of any
kind to fix prices in the steel indus.
tary, James A. Farrell, president OF
the United States steel corporation
testified at the hearing in the federal
suit to dissolve the corporation as an
Illegal combination.
Prices were governed solely by mar

that they remained unchanged for con
siderable periods did not indicate that
competitive conditions did not exist

REPLIES TO JAPSAS
JOHNSON SIGNS ACT
Uncle Sam Answers Protest
Against Alien Land Law.
TEXT IS NOT MADE PUBLIC
Mikado, 1t Is Understood, Is Informed
That This Government Is Bound
by Action of California Legs-
lature and Governor.

Washington, d. C.-The reply of
the United States to the Japanese
protest against the enactment of the
Californian alien land law was handed
to Viscount Chinda, the Japanese am
bassador by Secretary of State Bryan
here last night. At the same time a
copy of the reply was cabled to Toxic
for personal presentation to the
mikados government by the Ameri-
can charge daffaires.
Text Is Kept Secret.
Owing to the fact that Japan fatty
refused to make public the text Of
her original protest against the en-
forcement of the bill, government Of
ficials here said that the United States
could not publish the text of the
American reply, which is couched In
terms which correspond to the protest
in such manner that the latter could
be deduced from the former. 1t is
understood, however, that the Bryan
reply is every bit as frank as was the
protest and that it outlines the United
States position in no uncertain terms.
Japan is informed that this govern
ment is bound by the action of the
California legislature and governor,
but that the administration has done
and will continue to do everything in
its power to prevent the least breach
in the friendly relations between the
two governments. A new treaty is
limited at in the reply and it is further
stated that the enforcement of the
law can probably be deferred until
after negotiations for the new treaty
are well under way.
Johnson Signs Act.
This is the last step of this govern
ment with respect to the Japanese
situation. The next move will come
from Toxic and government officials
said that it could not be forecasted
with any degree of certainty, but Gov.
Johnson's action in signing the bill
Monday would undoubtedly bring the
situation to crisis.
President Wilson plainly indicated
to callers Monday that he believes the
racial pride of the Japanese to be at
the bottom of the whole matter-that
the feeling is that Americans do not
consider the Orientals on the same
level with themselves has produced
hot resentment in Japan which has
found an outlet in present situation.
The president also believes that the
Portsmouth conference, suggested by
and carried out under former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has great deal to do
with the present unrest, because the
Japanese feel that they did not get all
that was coming to them by the terms
of the conference.
The California alien land measure
becomes law Aug. 10, 80 days after
the adjournment of the legislature,

Abrldaed Bible.

An abridged Bible is being advo-
cated-one that will contain only the
vital parts of the great book. and
that omits hundreds of pages of mat
ter now not read at all except by stu
dents. No doubt such Bible would
become instantly popular, because it
would all be interesting and to the
point. In this age, none except stu
dents will wade through very long
books. Everybody wants the truth
boiled down to the very shortest
space. The great story of the cruci-
fixion is told in very few words. and
all the essentials of the Bible for
the average person could easily be
covered in one-fifth the pages required
for the whole work.-Gallipolis Tri-
bune.

APPROPRIATION BILL

the general appropriation bill, He
gives as his reason the fact that the
bill, which has an emergency clause
attached, carries number Of items for
which no emergency exists, and that
he does not approve of including them
in any measure with an emergency
clause. He stated he did not believe
in taking away from the people the
right to pass on such appropriations If
they so desire.
This bill carries appropriations
which aggregate nearly $1,5OOOOO.
