Mr.. WILSON WINS HIS POINT.
The Presidents Desire for Free Wool
I'll ~ Now and Free Sugar II TWO
Yes0e Incorporated BY
X N f, .js the Committee. .%g

Washington, June .21.1mportant
reductions In the Underwood Tarinr
bill rates on Iron, steel and other
metal products, the addition Of cattle.
! wheat, pig iron, Angora wool and
many other articles to. the free list:
and an increase ID rates on many
classes OF cotton goods and some silk
products, were the chief features OF
the revised tarin bill; as It was laid
before the senate Democrats by
Chairman Simmons Of the finance
committee.
After weeks OF work, in which every
item had undergone close scrutiny by
subcommittee Of the majority mem
bership Of the finance committee, the
re-drafted measure was brought into
the Democratic caucus For two
hours the important changes were ex.
planned to Democrats and the bill was
then made public. Experts of the
committee at once began work on a
comparative summary Of the changes.
President Wilson's desires as to free
sugar in 1915 and free wool at once
prevailed in the re-draft OF the bill.
To the list of market basket" reduc.
tons the Underwood bill contained,
the senate committee added many i'm.
portant items. In the general level
of it's rates the Simmons bill'' repre-
sents heavier cut from existing
rates of the Payne-Aldrich law than
did the bill as 1t passed the house.
The senate caucus adjourned early
and members spent the afternoon
working out private analysis of the
measure. Senate leaders believe the
bill will reach the senate itself late
next week.
Chairman Simmons indicated he ex-
pected opposition in the caucus to the
sugar and wool program, but believed
those schedules would not be changed.
Members of the finance committee
expressed the belief that there would
not be much revision in the caucus.
The chief interest, of course, centers
on wool and sugar, but administra-
ton leaders believe there will be NO
change in them and that all but two
or perhaps three senators will take
the pledge binding themselves to sup
port the bill. Senator Simmons. chair
man of the committee, believes that
the caucus will discuss the bill not
longer than a week, and that after
the bill has then been submitted to
the full membership of the finance
committee, it will be reported to the
senate.

WILSON SIGNS SyNDRy BILL
PUTS SIGNATURE TO MEASURE
IT,. UNDER PROTEST.
Would Have Vetoed the Part Exempt.
ing Farmers Organizations and
Labor Unions If He Could.

Washington, June 24.-President
Wilson has signed the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill with a statement
declaring that he would have vetoed,
if he could, the provision exempting
labor unions and farmers organiza-
lions from prosecutions under a GER
tain 100000 fund designated for the
operation of the Sherman Antitrust
law
The president characterized the ex-
and principle" but called attention to
the fact that the Department of JUS
tice possessed other funds with which
to enforce the Antitrust law. The
urgent need of various government
departments for funds appropriated by
the bill influenced the president to
speedy action on the measure.
The bill carries $116,0O0,O0O in ap-
preparations and was vetoed by Mr.
Taft March 4 because of the labor ex'
emption clause. When the bill was
re-introduced and passed by both
houses in identical form by the pres
ent congress, this provision was the
subject of sharp debate.
In his statement the president said:
II have signed this bill because
can do so without, in fact, limiting
the opportunity or the power of tAe
Department of Justice to prosecute
violations of the law, by whomsoever
committed.
IF I could have separated from the
rest of the bill the item which author
lied the expenditure by the Depart
ment of Justice of a special sum OF
100000 for the prosecution of viola
lions of the Antitrust law, l would
have vetoed that item, because it
places upon the expenditure limita-
ton which is, in my opinion, unjus-
tifiable in character and principle.
Bit could not separate it.

Federal Attorney at San Fran.
N cisco IS Out Of q lob.
TO PRESIDENT
John I. McNab Had Telegraphed Sen.
sational Charges to Mr.. Wilson,
Secretary Of Labor Explains
Governments Action.

washington, June 23.--Secretary
Wilson of the department of labor
took full responsibility for the post
ponement, of trial in the DiggsCanai-
netti case, the basis of sensational
charges telegraphed to the president
by United States Attorney John L.
McNab of San Francisco with re-
quest that his resignation be accepted
at once.
In a signed statement, Secretary
Wilson said:
THE attorney general postponed
trial in the Diggs-Caminetti case sole.
~ upon my request. Mr.. A. Cami-
netti has but recently. assumed the
duties of commissioner general of I'M.
migration.
He asked for leave of absence in
order that he might return to Cali
fornia to be present at the trial Of
his son. I insisted that he remain
aere until he was sufficiently acQuaint-
ed with the duties of the position of
commissioner general to be able to
properly inspect the immigration STA
lions at Pacific ports when he return
ed to California. therefore suggest
ed that would ask the attorney gen.
eral- to postpone the trial of the case
until the next term of court. 1t is
nothing unusual for the district attor-
ney of any district, or the attorney
general, to grant q pogtponement Of
trial-in- sHeh-eases when an fmmedf-
ate trial would seriously Inconvenience
either party. The suggestion and the
request came from me purely in the
interest of the public service"
Intends to Prosecute.
The cases are those of Maury I.
Diggs and Drew c. Caminetti of San
Francisco. indicted under the white
slave law; and officials of the Western
Fuel Company, indicted for conspiracy
to defraud the customs. Caminetti
is a son of Anthony, Caminetti, recent
ly appointed commissioner general Of
immigration. McNab, Republican
holding over from the last administra-
ton, charged that "rich and powerful
influences were working to defeat the
prosecution.
Attorney General McReynolds was
willing to say this much FOR publica-
tion:.
There is every intention of prose
cutting all those cases. They will be
taken care Of in due time by capable
officials. No interest will suffer by
the postponement."
The attorney general intimated he
might issue formal statement later
Another Version Of story.
One unofficial version Is that when
Commissioner Caminetti applied for
leove of absence to attend his sons
trial, it was not as easy to spare the
immigration commission for work
pressing, and postponement was sug-
gested as way out of the difficulty.
1t was also said that the order of post
ponement was issued after subordinate
officials of the department of justice
had investigated.

FIVE JAILED
Officers Declare Loot Secured BY
Train Robbers May Exceed
$4,000 Estimate. 1

TUSCALOOSA, ALA Sept. al
This morning finds five persons under
arrest in the Tuscaloosa County Jail
under suspicion of having some con-
nection with the $4,000 train robbery
OF the Alabama Great Southern
express at Bibbville Siding Yesterday.
Special Officer Ball. Of the Alabama
and Great Southern detective depart
ment, is credited with the arrests.
Despite the arrests by the special
officer. many believe that the guilty
parties have not been captured and
the chase through the woods and
swamps continues undated. Blood
hounds have trailed down q bloody
hat which Is conceded to be a strong
clew when strengthened by the fact
that the mail clerks assert that one
Of the bandits lacerated his hand on
broken light globe in the mail car
previous to taking flight in the run
away engine.
According to Chief Of Police Bode-
ker, of Birmingham and other officials
on the ground, the estimate of loss at
$4,000 IL very conservatives, and 70
may exceed this amount II is known
that three bags Of money were taken
and a large shipment OF currency 10
said TO have been billed to New Or
leans. 1t is a further belief Of the
officials that the robbers were aware
OF the unusually heavy shipment OF
money on the date of the robbery.

after summons and complaint in the
suit for alienation were served on

The suit for alienation filed by Mrs.

reported unhappiness and marital
strife between the MaCkays IN which
the names Of DR.. and Mrs. Blake have
figured prominently
The linking Of the names of Mrs

Europe with his three children, and
Mrs. Mackay evidently expects to re-

years, having leased property there
for that period.

that amicable terms Of separation
have been agreed upon.
Mrs Mackay is one Of New York's
most beautiful and prominent society
women. She has been interested for
a number Of years in equal suffrage
and social work.

friends have intimated that there is
every likelihood of an amicable set

that the papers in the suit will be

Says She Wants Divorce.
He also declared that Mrs. Blake
is contemplating action for divorce
from DR.. Blake. probably before the
final disposition of the alienation pro-
ceedings.
He said she has plenty Of evidence
to proceed in the action for separa-
ton without depending upon the evi-
dence that viii be used in the action
against Mrs. Mackay. The name Of
the latter, he asserted. will not figure
in the divorce proceedings.
Mrs. Blake has been living alone for
more than year, and this fact has
caused the circulation Of many ru-
mors of contemplated action for di-
vorce and alienation of affection. In
all of these reports Mrs. Mackay was
named, but not until actual legal pro-
ceedings We're started by the service
of a summons on her attorney did her
name figure publicly in the affair.

its foundations by the suit for $1,000
o0O damages started against Mrs.
Clarence H. Mackay by Mrs. Joseph
A. Blake. wife of New York's most
eminent surgeon, for the alleged
alienation Of her husbands affections,
the social world of Manhattan is bust
ly discussing late developments indi-
eating that Mrs. Blake started the
legal proceedings against Mrs. Mack
ay in the hope that 1t will lead to
reconciliation with her husband.
The rumor that Mrs. Blake filed the
suit because of her love for her hus-
band, thinking that perhaps the pub
LEGATION Of her sorrow would bring
him back to her, is based on a state
ment Mrs Blake is said to have made
to a friend that she is willing to drop
the proceedings if Mrs. Mackay viii

wife.
This statement, 1t is reported, was
transmitted by the friend in question
to Arthur c. Train, Mrs. MaCkay's
lawyer, together with & highly eulo-
CYSTIC statement on DR.. Blakes viz
tues and her love for him.
