Minor Amendments Probable.

The opposition in the Senate is expected
To go TO pieces before the bill comes
over from the House. under the dis
couraging example of the failure in the
House caucus. OF course, the bill VIII
be amended in spots by the upper body.
but this statement refers to the broad
principles of the bill and To the two not
able schedules of wool and sugar. Which
are the keystones of the opposition.
8 It was stated today upon authority that
three republican progressive senator's Will
support the Presidents tariff policy
Their names are withheld until they
themselves announce their intention or
declare il by their votes.
This outcome. while not unexpected. as
the President had been counting upon
some progressive support. is all the more
welcome as balancing some possible DEM
ocratic defections in the Senate.
The bill is expected to linger in the
House until about the latter part of May.
Its sOjourn in the Senate is beyond hu-
man speculation at this time. but the
methods being used TO forward the bill
are such as to forecast short time in
conference between the two houses.
The administration leaders in Congress
are in high spirits today over the pros
pect of reasonably early enactment into
law Of the new tariff along the lines
promised in the democratic platform and
pledged by President Wilson.

WORKS CENSURES

Senator Would Elevate Stand

FAVORS CURTAILMENT
OF ALL NEWS OF CRIME
Declares Writers Poison Minds of
People-Makes Plea for
Greater Accuracy.

a solemn warning against the effects
OF yellow journalism upon the men
women and children of the country was
given by Senator Works of California
today, when he addressed the Senate in
the interests of his bill prohibiting the
publication of details of crimes and ac-
cidents in the District Of Columbia.
He declared that something must be
done to elevate the standard of journal
ism in the United States, both in the
interests of the public and of the news
paper men.
Another phase of newspaper work
that should challenge attention by the
mere mention of it. is the we'll known
want of reliability of journalistic news
and information" said Senator Works
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-04-17
Powerful influence.

The newspaper is a great and power
ful influence in free country like
ours, where the press is free and un
trammeled. That influence may work
for good or evil. The publisher of a
newspaper takes upon himself respon-
sibilities of the highest order. He may
make his publication an influence and
support for the very best in public
and private life.
Ihat some of our newspaper men are
not living up to this high ideal of true
journalism none, / believe. will be more
ready to admit than journalists them
selves, and none, l am very sure, would
be better pleased than they to remedy
the evils that have resulted from d de-
parture from the higher standard"
Referring to the statement often made
that the people want the kind of news
published by the yellow journals
Senator Works said. IF this is true it is
certainly melancholy 1act. fit is not
true it is grave charge against the
American people. But assuming that the
greater number of people really want
their papers to publish such stuff, who
Is responsible for this depraved appe-
tite? The men who publish the papers
should seriously ask themselves that
question and act accordingly

The most drastic antitrust legisla-

1t was Mr. Henry, who, as assistant

His bill, introduced today, following
the lines Of one he put in the House
two years ago. and which he intends

trusts, monopolies and conspiracies in

Mr.. Henry said: II would amend the
Sherman law by striking out the word
unreasonable which was legislated into

United States. Then 1 would make a

But the most significant feature OF
the present situation as bearing upon
the future outlook is the fact that the
much heralded coalition of wool, sugar
and other interests failed to be effec-

forty-two and some of those were from

SENATE NOW EXPECTED

Minor Amendments Will Be Made,
But General Principles Are
Likely to Stand.

Administration leaders in Congress

sure that it Will be approved by the
democratic caucus and pass the House
in its present form. but are encouraged
10 believe that its essential features
will remain unchanged by the Senate.
The bill underwent it's crucial tests
I'm the caucus action upon wool and
sugar. President Wilson's wishes were
met as to the rates in both schedules.
Leader Underwoo had yielded his
own views upon those schedules. He
was originally for free sugar and a
duty on wool. but accepted exactly the
reverse treatment, and the caucus sup
ported him.

Beatty Trial Reports.

Senator Works spoke at length of the
manner in which tile newspapers "cov-
cred" the Beatty trial in Virginia and
the Titanic disaster a year ago as evil
dences of the harm done by such methods
Of journalism
The mere mention that such Crime
as the murder of Mrs Beatty by Beatty
has been committed was enough" said
Senator Works. ITO go further was an
Offense against the common rules of de-
cency. 1t was calculated to arouse the
worst passions of men. The reading Of it
could do no possible good
Speaking of the life of the reporter who
writes about such crimes. Senator Works
said:
What life this is for any man to lead
1t makes one shudder to think of it. And
most Of the men who are instrumental
in this wholesale poisoning of the minds
of our people are young men. often mere
boys. 1t is appalling to think of such a
school Of vice. falsehood and the viola
ton OF the sacred rights of others"

They went inside and the doors were duly
locked, although the time lock was left
off. II took Just twelve minutes 20 throw
the doors open. This waa done without
the use OF explosives OF any sort and
merely BY driving wedges In between the
doors ana safe. In company with this
man the treasurer then went 70 the com
mittees OF congress and by their repre-
sentations the matter was remedied.
There is no doubt but that the vaults
are absolutely safe now
Guards Are ViEtIsnt.
Anyhow Il would be very brave man
who would try to rob the treasury. A
tunnel might be dug from somewhere
near the treasury building, but the rob
bers would have to drill, and they would
have TO have railroad to carry away
the silver. After they had taken few
thousand dollars the bags and boxes con-
tanning the remainder would tumble
about with such noise as to apprise
the treasury guards OF their action, and
as these guards are on hand day and
night it would be almost impossible 60
get anything to speak OF without dts
covery.
There might be q combination with the
guards and fortune in greenbacks or
silver certificates taken, but these are all
numbered and tho thieves would be sure
to be Unidentified. There Is a goodly corps
OF guards in the Treasury department
and these are divided into different
watches. They have to salute each other
from time time, and . whistle would
bring an army OF guards TO any part OF
the treasury at any moment.
It is now some years since one OF the
United States treasurers attempted to
sneak down into the vaults 10 see " the
men wers on duty. He suddenly found
a barrel Of cold steel at his head and the
guard who held the other end OF the re-
voiver made him stand still and throw up
his hands. He said that he was the
treasurer Of the United States. but the
very polite watchman with the revolver
said that might all be, but he did not
know the treasurer and he would have
to wait until ne called one OF the other
guards TO Identify him. He then gave
whistle. The other guards rushed up and
the treasurer was released. 1t is by no
means a safe thing for even the treas
urer to so around about the vaults at
midnight.
I remember another scare In the treas
ury, II was a good many yeas ago when
Gilfillian had charge OF the vaults. The
trouble was as to the cash room where
the vault In which the ready money In
kept refused to open. The vault was set
with time lock and the usual hour was
$3.50 a. m. On this occasion something
seemed to be wrong with the mechanism.
The steel doors remained closed. Nine
o'clock arrived and still the money was
locked up. Men came to the tellers' win
dows and there was no money to pay
them. Then experts were hurriedly sent
for. They got out their tools and pre-
pared to open the vault, but before they
could do so, the door opened OF It's own
accord. BY accident the lock had been
set for $780, instead of $50 as usual
