duties are not put on sugar and wool nor
have l said that ! would not go into the
Democratic caucus" said Mr.. Walsh. Il
will cross the bridges as i reach them.
1T Is a part of the policy and pro-
gramme of those who are interested
financially or otherwise in free listing GER
tain commodities to pillory every member
who questions the infalhbility Of the
House committee.
The forces honestly enlisted in the
cause Of reform are not always patient
enough, particularly in relation to those
articles against which by reason Of the
outrageous favoritism accorded them In
the past, public outcry has been directed.
Sugar and wool are in that class It
would be vastly pleasanter for me to es-
cape the opprobrium, even now gather
ing around my head. by having no views
of my own. by docilely following the
leaders and quiescently voting for any
thing they might choose to put up to me.
Even a rank free-trader would cry
out at the injustice in the Underwood
bill and resent such discrimination
against his State. Some of the members
of the Finance Committee of my OWE
party believe as / do, and i shall not
cease to labor to prevail upon them to
so act as not to subject the party to the
charge OF repudiating the promises upon
which II came into power"
II is the understanding that Senator
Newiand's attitude is the same as Mr.
Walsh's. and that probably Senator
Thompson Of Kansas will take a like
stand But with Walsh alone and the
two Louisiana Senators voting with the
Republicans, the vote will be a tie in
the Senate on the question of a duty
on wool and sugar

BAR THE Germ.

One thing is certain-the busy little
germ is responsible for about all the
ills that flesh is heir to; and IL we can
bar its entrance we can keep our sys-
TENS free from the seeds of disease.
The natural cavities of the body and
the openings afforded by cuts,
scratches, or insect bites are the points
we should guard: and it is not enough
to Just keep them clean. The germ is
persistent, aggressive; and more than
cleanliness is necessary to quiet its
activity.
Keep the germ out by destroying it.
Make the fight offensive instead of de-
fensive. Nip trouble in the bud. The
daily use of a reliable Peroxide anti

The, best antiseptic to use Is LISTO-
GEN. 1t goes farther than Peroxide

work where Peroxide of Hydrogen

land is slated by the Ways and Means

WOULD.BE AMBASSADOR
returns To new YORK
Wealthy F. H. Allen, Who Wanted
French Mission, Leaves with Re-
mains Of Diplomatic Boom.
LETTER FORM is REVOKED

Frederick Hobbs Allen. the New York
lawyer, who wanted to be American Am
bassador to France, packed his belong
ings, including the remains of his diplo-
matte boom, and left Washington late yes
terday for his home.
Mr.. Aliens campaign for a diplomatic
post, of which the trip of the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee on his friend VIM
cent Astor's yacht to West Point is said
to have been part, has been the sub
Ject of good deal OF discussion for sew
eral days in Washington. 1t is admitted
that Mr.. Allen has been very active for
weeks in pursuit Of job in the foreign
service.
Mr.. Allen is wealthy. and 1t is said that
his friend. Vincent Astor, willingly agreed
to aid his campaign by Offering the use
of the Astor yacht to entertain the Sem
ators of the Military Affairs Committee
on their trip up the Hudson.
Senator Johnston of Alabama chairman
of the Senate Committee on Military At
fairs, protested yesterday that there was
no thought in the mind of any Of the
members of the subcommittee of any spe-
cial interest on Mr.. Aliens part when he
gave them a dinner while in New York
recently and acted as host on the jaunt
up the Hudson and back. He knew Mr..
Allen was a New York Democrat, who
had been an earnest hacker of Mr. VIII
son, and he knew also that Mr.. Allen was
a man of means.
As to the stories that have been cir
culated that Mr.. Aliens campaign was
engineered by Buford Lynch. a former
Washington newspaper man. members
of the Senate said they had no informa-
ton.
In the meantime Form 2g' has be-
come taboo at the White House.
The form bearing this number is des-
ignated by Secretary Tumulty as being
the regulation wording Of replies to
complimentary letters from persons per-
sonally unknown to. the administration.
Many Of these letters were written just
after the election. Two Of them ad-
dressed to Mr.. Lynch were said to have
been used by Mr.. Lynch to gain favor
with Mr.. Allen.
The letters have been returned to Sec
rotary Tumulty, who yesterday gave Or
ders that the use Of Form 22' was to
be discontinued.

WOOL ANDSUGAR
RATES REMAIN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

ing has been agreed on. One suggestion
has been made for sliding scale on
sugar. beginning with a duty of 20 cents
a hundred and gradually receding into
ultimate free sugar. but postponing the
date for free sugar for ten years in
stead of three years. All such sugges-
tons. however. are merely tentative. The
advocates of a sugar duty are undoubt-
eddy growing in strength in the Senate.
1t is expected Senator Ransdell will
strike an effective blow next week when
he addresses the Senate in an effort to
draw a distinction between the Sugar
Trust and the growers of cane and
beets. The Senator insists that the
strongest single influence that works for
free sugar is the trust He has called
on the Treasury Department and the De-
partment of Justice for information as to
convictions for frauds on the customs
and as to the compromises the govern
ment has made with the interests charged
with frauds against the customs in i'm
portations of sugar. The speech prom
ises to be a very sensational one.
Senator Walsh of Montana, whose po-
sition has been more or less in doubt, has
issued a public statement to the Demo-
Gratis of his State. in which he resents the
attempt to .'pillory' Democratic Senators
who insist on a duty On wool and sugar.
Heretofore the Montana Senator has stood
out for a revenue duty on wool His at
titude on sugar was not so clear. HIS
announcement indicates that there is an
understanding between the advocates of a
duty on sugar and those who are insisting
on duty on wool
Wool Duty Favored.
Senator Walsh some days ago notified
the Democratic members Of the Finance
Committee that II an amendment was Of
fered in the Senate to place a duty on
wool he would support it, regardless Of
the action of the Democratic Senate eau
Gus. His latest expression indicates that
he also will support an amendment plac-
ing a duty on sugar. Senator Walsh and
Senator Ransdell called this afternoon on
Chairman Williams. whose subcommittee
has charge of the sugar schedule. He
announced that il was his purpose to use
every honorable effort to secure a duty
on both articles.
Il have not said that I would vote
against the bill on its final passage If the

SEIZURE OF SUGAR ADVOCATED
senator Norris Says This Would
Save People from Extorfion.

Seizure by the government of billions
Of pounds of imported sugar to compel
the actual dissolution of the Sugar
Trust is advocated by Senator Norris as
an effective means of saving the Ameri-
can people from eXtortion If the trust
should attempt to raise the price of
sugar after the tariff on sugar has been
eliminated.
Senator Norris believes that free sugar
will result eventually in producing a
market situation entirely controlled by
the trust
THE trust now controls the best sugar
lands in Cuba and il is acknowledged
that the productive capacity of these
lands has hardly been scratched" said
Senator Norris. The same law that
permits the seizure of coffee belonging
to the Coffee Trust would permit the
seizure of sugar belonging to a trust.
The government could seize it and COM
pei its sale on competitive basis. The
remedy for extortion in products lies
more in the seizure and sale of the COM
modify itself than in long-delayed prose-
cution of corporations and individuals"
Philadelphia will this summer extern
sively add to its list of vacation
schools.
