OPPOSITION TO AMENDMENTS
 IN TARIFF BILL

Washington, June 25.-Two far reaching amendments to the, admins tratfve provisions of the tariff bill aroused opposition in the Democratic Senate caucus, today.
 One was that A prohibiting inn portation of any goods except immed- fate products of agriculture, forests and fisheries, wholly or in part man ufactured by children under IA years old That provision was declared by many Senators to be the most drastic protective measure any manufacturer could ask for-greater as a protection against foreign competition than high tariff rates.
 The amendment to grant to the United States court of appeals con current Jurisdiction with the customs court in customs cases, involving more than s$10O, also aroused attention Some Democrats thought the proposal an entering wedge toward elimination of the customs court.
 Senator Ransde1I resumed debate against free sugar when the caucus opened while Senator James was ready to support the schedule.

it to the present time. He show
ed the relationship between the
church and Masonry-that be-
fore becoming a Mason an ap-
plicant must affirm his belief in
the existence of Supreme
Being; that upon his admission
TO the Lodge he is received in
the name of God, and that
! through all the various degrees
the Deity is mentioned as the
supreme trust on whom all must
rely for salvation. Mr.. Andrews
made it very plain that the Ma
sonic Lodge or no other Lodge
can fill the offices of the church ;
that the oft heard expression
that the Masonic Lodge is good
enough church for any body. is
a mockery; that no institution
exists that can take the place of
the church. The speaker said
that if it became necessary to
give up one or the other the
Masonic Lodge would be given
up.
The speaker said that when
he is called hence, that instead
of banks of flowers upon his
grave, he would prefer this i n
scription on his tombstone: "He
went out of his way to help a
distressed brother Mason" The
idea expressed here was carried
through his address-brotherly
love, which forms the foundation
stone of the Masonic Lodge.
Grand Master Andrews was
taken on an automobile trip to
Burke's after the speaking Tues
day afternoon. accompanied by
Fl. c. Pobst and G. w. Doak in
the auto of Rawley Witten.
The choir, under the leader
ship of Miss Tot Mccall, furnish
ed the music for the ceremonies.
The hymns prescribed by the
Masonic ritual were used.
After the address in the chap
ell, several people wanted to know
If MIR. Andrews was preacher.
He is not; just a plain insurance
agent in Roanoke.
