Washington, April 1.-THE transfer
Of shoe machinery to the free list con-
stituted the first break Of the demo
cratic caucus from the tariff schedule
today. a change in the metal schedule
was also ordered, admitting lead con-
tanning less than 3 per cent of zine
free.
The Louisiana members agreed on
an anti-free sugar program and an
all-day fight is promised when the
sugar schedule is taken up tomorrow.
Underwood said tonight the caucus
would not be through FOR several days
and the house will not begin its con-
sideration for another week.
WOULD MODIFY SCHEDULE
President Wilson was urged today to
agree TO q modification in the tariff
schedule on sugar to make it discre-
tionary with the executive ut the end
% three years whether sugar should
free.
Former Governor Ava Adams. of
Colorado. told the president that while
the industry in his state could stand a
reduction to cne cent Il pound As now
provided IN the tariff bill, the knowl-
edge that sugar would be free at the
end OF three years would have q de
pressing effect on business during that
period.
Robert Ewing, democratic national
committeeman from Louisiana discuss
ed the question with the president and
took the same position as former Gov
e-nor Adams. He went away with the
impression that the president was still
carefully considering taat feature of
the bin.
Senator Thomas, Of the finance com
mittee, discussed the tariff briefly with
the president.
CONSIDERING POSTS.

Grafton today for a diplomatic place

ident to postpone action for the date
of the beginning of collections under
the income tax until a. year after the
tariff bill went into effect.
The president got through his list OF
callers in quick time and went into
conference with hts cabinet.

Social Settlement Worker
Says There Are Two
Hundred Dance Halls In
Chicago Where Liquor Is
Sold to Girls Under Six
teen Years OF Age.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Chicago. April 11.-Dance halls ana
resorts where liquor is sold to girls
and where friends are provided for
those who want them were ascribed
as the cause of the downfall Of many
young women by Mrs. Bertrude H.
Britton, a social settlement worker,
who testified today before the Illinois
vice commission.
In a thorough investigation we find
that there were 200 dance halls in Chi
cago. where liquor is sold TO girls under
Is years old" said Mrs. Britton. In
some of the other places the so-called
soft drinks, when anaIyzed by the city
chemist. were found to contain alcohol.
In one dance hall we discovered
that the proprietor had served notice
on his patrons that a friend would
be provided for any girl that needed
one.
'sOur investigators learned that re-
spectable dance halls were q good
thing. for they provided diversion for
many young people without endan-
gering their morals, but about half the
dance halls are immoral. The selling
of liquor to girls is often the first step
toward their ruin
Myrtle S" Il years old. told the
commission how a scolding by her
father, the chance meeting of Jolly
fellow and his giving her drugged
beer led to her downfall.
"On my parents separating 1 came
to Chicago from Cleveland, and finding
1t lonesome to stay in my room at
night. I sought COMPANY" said the
witness. "A girl introduced me to a
friend At first we took soft drinks
but later I was induced to drink beer.
One night the beer affected me strange
" and after that I was a lost girl !
was convinced my friend had drugged
the beer. We often visited hotels,
sometimes without any baggage, going
to those in the downtown district
which are considered respectable
Proprietors Of dance halls and hotels
mentioned by witnesses were to testl-
fy later.

STATE Association Of
Sunday schools Meet
u EIbsIam On ApriI =.


About a year ago the Georgia
Sunday School Association decided
to do more definite work, and Mr..
D. w. Sims who at that time was
General Secretary of the Alabama
Sunday School Association, was
employed as Georgia's General Sec
rotary and began work on June LIST.
Mr.. Sims is a practical man having
served as Sunday School Teacher
for about ten years, and supsrinten-
dent Of large Sunday School IN
Richmond, Va, then served sue
cessfully as Field and General Sec
Rotary in Alabama for about five
years prior to taking up the work in
Georgia.
In Mr.. Sims work through the
State he has collected some facts
that are not generally known. For
example, he has found that in one
County in Georgia there areonly Sc
ven Sunday Schools, and six Of these
are in the largest town in the Coun-
~.
n another county in Georgia
there are only ten Sunday Schools,
and only four runs twelve months
in the year.
In still another County in Geor-
gia there are fifty Literary schools
and only fifteen Sunday Schools,
and only five Of the Sunday Schools
run twelve months in the year.
While in another County Of Geor-
gia there are only three Sunday
Schools, according to report from
The County Ordinary, and in an
other County in Georgia only one
out Of forty-eight of the white pop
ulation is enrolled in the Sunday
Schools.

Association put Mr.. Sims in the
field the first of last June 43 O
