WOULD LIKE TO SEE
COMPETITIVE TARIFF
Chairman Underwood Makes This
Declaration. A Photographic Trust
Alleged.

Washington, Jan. 81 would like
10 see a competitive tariff all along
the line" announced Chairman Tn
derwood, of the ways and means
committee, Democratic leader of the
house, at the fiscal hearing on the
earthenware and glassware schedule
today.
Mr.. Underwood had been hearing
arguments aimed at securing a lower
ing Of the tariff of fifty-five and sixty
per cent to thirty and thirty-f1ve per
cent and valorem on china, earthen-
ware. porcelain, stone and crockery
ware. including clock Gases, stems,
lamps and host OF similar articles
taxed at the higher rate in sections
SO and 45 of schedule B of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law.
1T looks TO me-" Mr.. Underwood
said, "as if schedule 93 and As are
more competitive than most of the
paragraphs We have to deal with.
That is my judgment subject to re-
servation If any information is
brought out that might develop to
the contrary"
This view was radically divergent
from the presentation of the import
ers case by NJ. S. Pitcairn, of New
York City. whose protest against the
eXorbitancy of the present tariff, and
portrayal of the details of business of
bringing in British earthenware and
other products, led to sharp COLO
quies with Representative Payne of
New York and Longworth of Ohio
Mr.. Pitcairn said that under the
present tariff carthenware importa-
tions were steadily going down. Mr..
Payne suggested that If the witness
statements were true, the importers
would go out of business in thirty
days. Mr. Pitcairn cited what he said
were actual transactions and Mr..
Payne attacked them.
DO you doubt the integrity of
those statements?" shouted the wit
ness. Mr.. Payne persisted and the
witness said he could produce the
entries from the treasury. Mr..
Payne replied that even the treasury
department could not produce mi
racles"

FOLLOW CAREER OF
STATE BABIES
Board of Health Sends Spe-
cial Literature to Moth
ers of Children Born
Under New Law

Richmond, Va, May To
every mother in Virginia. whose
baby has its name recorded in
the vital statistics of the Com.
monwealth, the State Board Of
Health is this week sending IA
copy of the revised bulletin on
the Care of Infants, as part
of a plan recently adopted to
keep in touch with all the chill
dren born under the new law
The bulletin which is being
cent out is "a revised edition of
that issued and distributed last
summer and it contains a large
number Of suggestions regard
ing the proper care of infants.
These suggestions the Board of
Health hopes TO put in the
hands of the mothers at the
season when the infantilo com
plants reap their usual toll of
young life. In this way it lis
hoped to give to young mothers
directions for the proper care
OF mix which viii enable them
TO prevent many of the disor-
ders of childhood.
The Board plans hereafter To
use frequently the list of young
parents, whose children have
their births recorded; and from
time 10 time to send special
publications on the health of
growing children to the entire
list. The only difficulty now
experienced by the Board is in
getting the correct post Office
addresses of many parents, as
these are often omitted from
the birth certificates.
eve hope, said an officer of
the Board yesterday, ITO be
able to furnish the parents of
all children born under the new
vital statistics law with the
latest Information regarding
the prevention of disease. These
Virginia babies have a heritage
Oh which they should be proud
and we hope their parents will
regard them as the wards of a
State which is anxious to care
for the children. 1t is fast get
ting to lie a universal custom
for parents to record the births
OF their children as required by
law and IT Will not be many
months before we hope to have
practically every birth duly en-.
tered in the lasting records of
that Commonwealth. Once the
lchildren's names and addresses
are recorded, we hope to com
municate regularly with their
parents.

Buy-SeIIing Good.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-The local cot
ton market opened barely steady today,
chleny IN response TO better cables from
Liverpool than expected; first prices were
unchanged to points higher than last
nights close
Immediately after the opening the ring
crowd became general sellers, based on
the governments report which gave the
crop of 1913 l4.076,430 bales and linters
at 6O5, l04 bales, against 556,27e bales last
year. The report was construed as bear
lsh, resulting in a general selling move
ment Commission houses sold, taking
profit. The buying was lighter than for
several days past After tie first half
hour prices in most active positions were
to points decline from the initial level
As the census report was about as gen
orally expected il had little or no effect
on the market after the call. However
there was considerable discussion among
the trade on account of the large lint
ers, but this was later construed by re-
ports that the increase in the western
crop and decrease in the eastern crop
caused the large number of linters. Sen
tlments continue bearish, based mostly
on the theory that there will be enough
cotton to fill the requirement that will
exist during the balance Of the season.
During the forenoon McFadden and
Liverpool were noticeable buyers which
seemed to be the only support to the
market. Wall Street and the ring crowd
continued general sellers. This cotton
was absorbed by local short owing to the
three rec, days holiday This buying did not
forenoon March had dropped points
from the opening; May, July and October

1t is believed that a large short inter
est is in the market, with Wall Street
claiming the largest portion Of it, Should
there be renewal of aggressive buying
and turn in weather condition for the
worse. undoubtedly they would be forced
to cover. which would cause a rapid re-
action from present level. But the wealth
er map shows cold weather coming over
the belt. which is likely to prevent rain
fall. Rains prevailed over the central
belt last night, where II is needed.
The market was very quiet during the
late session. The trade seems to have
prices on an even keel to go over the holt
days. Price movement was practically
unchanged from the early low Lowell.
At the close the market was steady
with prices net decline of to Z points
