Few things in the House lobby inves-

James a. Emery. Washington representa-
tive of the n. A. NJ. that members of

reading of some of the Mulhall letters.
He asked If a private citizen has not
the same right to ask member to stay
from a committee meeting or vote on
the floor as a congressman has. He
said that lit is well known to every
man who has served two years in the
House that members are frequently made
requests Of this sort
Chairman Garrett and Representative

SUTHERLAND SCORES
THE DOMINANT PARTY
Utah Senator Denounces the
Pending Tariff Bill and Crit
icises the President. !.

A severe denunciation OF the Under.
wood Simmons tariff bill and the manner
in which the democratic majority of the
Senate has framed the bill was made in
the Senate yesterday by Senator Suther-
land of Utah. Referring to the influence
welded by President Wilson in favor of
the bill. he said.
Congress no longer legislates. 1t has
sunk to the level of an automaton. 1t
has ceased to be the servant of the peo-
pie and has become the obedient servant
of q servant OF the people. The Presi-
dent does not tender advice. He issues
orders to the democratic caucus, and to
the caucus each member surrenders his
political conscience. not for the welfare
Of the republic but in order that the fet-
ish of party solidarity may be maintained.
The members of the democratic majority
on the floor of the Senate do not DELHI
crate; they listen and obey"
Quotes Speaker Clark.
Senator Sutherland said that Speaker
Clark, In an address In Maine recently,
declared that the democrats expected to
reduce the cost of living with their tariff
BILL Senator Sutherland denied that the
reduction of the tariff would reduce the
cost of living. Only by lowering the
standards OF living in this country. he
said, will the cost Of living be decreased.
I'm the final analysis the tariff problem
is a labor problem said Senator Suth-
erland IF you pay high wages. You
necessarily Increase the cost of things
which highly paid labor produces. and in
turn the price at which the things must
be sold In order that the payment Of
high wages may continue. Protection
produces conditions under which pros
perity can be achieved and maintained !"
Senator Sutherland charged that the
pending bill Is sectional In character.

PLEAFOR OMISSION
Of TARIFF ON ART
American Free Art League Re-
CARDS imposition of Duty
as Blunder.

That the proposed tariff on artistic
antiquities Is blunder and that the
Senate should rectify this blunder be-
fore the passage of the tariff bill, or
that the conference committee of the
two houses should take such action, is
the. contention Of the American Free
Art League. which today is making a
strong appeal to every member of Con-
gress.
Bryan Lathrop Of Chicago is the presi-
dent and a member of the executive
committee of the league, and Robert De
Forest of New York is chairman of the
executive committee. The league also is
opposing tax on collections in illus
tration of the progress of art
The advocates of. free art declare
that up. to the present time the demo-
cratic party has a clean record so far
jas the admissions of objects OF art free
sof duty Is concerned. No tariff bill
ever framed in the past by the party
has carried duty on paintings, sculp-
lures or antiuuitieS
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-09-06
Regarded as Detriment.

Moreover, as Samuel Isham says in
his history of American painting: The
tariffs which we have imposed upon art
objects in the past at different periods
have seriously diminished the beauty of
the surroundings Of the great body of the
people. The carpets on their floors the
chairs in which they sit. the dishes from
which they eat and the ornaments on
their walls are all uglier than they should
be because the models which would have
instructed both the people and the man
ufacturers have been kept out.
THE countries of the old world are full
of these instructive models. and therefore
their designers have distinct advantage
over Americans. In spite of this fact the
governments of Europe do everything pos
sible to encourage art education, expend-
ing thousands of dollars upon art schools.
art museums and prizes. 1t goes without
saying that as a part of this policy, with
almost no exception, they make impor-
tations of art objects free. How much
more necessary is it for our country.
which has SO few inherited art treasures,
to encourage art education at least to
the extent of making works of art duty
free.'

House Favored Art.

The House, according to the members
of the league, did its duty as regards
art, and the Senate has caused all the
trouble. What the league wishes is to
have the House provisions of the bill re-
garding art restored.
In statement given today by the
league officers they say:
mo intelligent person can advocate a
duty on artistic antiquities over 100 years
old. They furnish models are of great
value to our designers and manufacturers
and contribute directly to our business
success and prosperity. An old Flemish
sideboard. for instance, is full of sugges-
lions for our designers of furniture; Gobe-
lin tapestries Belgian laces- and old en-
broideries are eagerly studied by the
students of our industrial art schools;
and old Chinese porcelains and Etruscan
vases help our manufacturers Of pottery
to raise their standard of excellence.
THE touch of art is to be seen all about
us on almost every article Of utility. Thus
it is evident that art and industry are
very closely related.

 TornOw's Death--3 Dead

two nephews, before Wednesdays bat tie.
 Tornow's cabin had been discover ed situated near a pool, and hidden by a network of twigs and branches of trees. There were hundreds of frogs in the pool and Tornow was sub sisting upon them. Deputy Sheriffs Blair, Lathrop and Quimby sought to capture him in his cabin The off cers came upon the outlaw within a short distance of his cabin, and he immediately opened fire. It devel- ops that he killed Blair and Lathrop quickly. Quimby was 60 feet distant, behind tree, and kept up constant and rapid fire. He saw Tornow crum- ple up behind windfall when he had fired his last shot, but knowing the cunning of the man, Quimby thought it might be a ruse to draw him out in- to the open, so he crept back through the woods. He returned with posse of loggers. Tornow's dead body was found behind the log. Later, the bod ies of Blair and Lathrop were found.

 This waterfront six hundred feet in length reaching from the Alaska Soda Bottling Works almost to the City dock offers the only chance un- der one ownership for adequate dock facilities.

SHELTON, April 1S.-Full reports of the killing of John Tornow, the wild man of the olympics," are be- ing received. He was shot through the head and instantly killed by Giles Quimby, a deputy sheriff, in Wednes- days battle in which he participated on one side and Quimby, Louis Blair and Charles Lathrop on the other. Blair and Lathrop were killed in the battle. The body of Tornow was found near the bodies of Blair and Lathrop, his last two victims. The killing of Blair and Lathrop make s men that Tornow has killed during his career of the last two years, in- cluding his nephews, the Bauer boys, that marked the beginning of his mur- derous career.
