LESS HOT AIR
AND MORE ACTION
What President Wilson Wishes Con.
gress to do With the Tariff
Revision.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON April LESS hot
air and more action is President Viii
sons plan when the tariff bill comes
before the house. The president made
the house ways and means committee
definitely acquainted with his tariff
views today.
Wilson pointed out that there was
nothing in the tentative bill abont
the admission to the free list of food
stuffs. He put it up to Chairman I'm
derwood and his assistants to get
right back on the job and see to it
that something was done to make the
average Americans table groan little
more, with less grooming from the
average Americans bank roll.
The presidents plan for quick ac-
ton is simply 20 get the bill he wants
through the committee, and then, in
stead of leaving the debate open to
all members of the house, to have d
series of speeches by house leaders
explaining the various sections of the
bill, to be followed by immediate &C.
/ ton on the measure, section by sec
ton
The senate is expected to prove an
obstacle in the path Of the presi
dents quick action program as there
can be no limitation OF debate in the
upper house.

practice Commissioner Harlan de-
clared, "manifests itself strikingly in
its political aspect. The record shows
that judges, state officials, members
of the legislature, county and mum
icipal officers, including mayors and
aldermen, have very generally made
use of passes. Net only has this been
the case, but the recorA shows that
where passes were not volunteered
they were asked for by public officials.
Even judges have not hesitated to
pursue this course. Personal requests
by judges upon carriers for passes are
disclosed by the record, accompanied
by expressions of their sense OF obi
cation fer such favors granted to
them, both before and after they went
~ the bench.
AS all know, these servants of the
people. elected or otherwise chosen
to make, administer and to enforce
the state laws in various ways, come
in various capacities have rendered
decisions in the interests of carriers
The railway witnesses when asked to
state the grounds on which passes
had been given to particular individ-
uals, frankly explained that It was
because of political services What
ever satisfaction possession of free
pass may give to state official, they
cannot fail to know and feel, as the
record in fact shows, that the car
rier expects from them quid pro quo
in some form"
Continuing, Harlan pointed out from
the record how one state officer got
his pass by protesting his friendliness
to the railroad; how another one sent
with a letter from the carrier hint
ing at the inconsistency of his taking
free transportation and using it in
some project against the carrier, and
how third who had been deprived OF
his pass, got it back after it was re
ported The has since been very good
There is no indication" the report
says, that the federal judges in that
state have used free passes. Whether
subordinates or officials have turned
their passes into source of personal
profit by charging mileage against the
government for official travel perform
ed on passes does not appear"

Promptly at the appointed time,
Mrs. Pankhurst had whirled up to Old
Bailey in her automobile from her
knights Bridge fat, and with mans
ners that were almost nonchalant in
their freedom from nervousness or
trepidation, she walked into the his
toric old courtroom between two bail
IFS. and faced her judges and pos
sible 14-year prison term.
Without agitation, Mrs. Pankhurst
announced to the magistrates that she
would represent herself and then
pleaded not guilty.
The suffragette leader is being
tried on charge of conspiracy to In
cite malicious destruction OF property,
in connection with the bomb explo-
sion that partly wrecked the unoccu-
pied new country home OF David
Lloyd George. chancellor Of the exche-
quer, at Walton-Heath. Surrey.
Justice Lush is the presiding magis-
trate in the trial of Mrs. Pankhnrst
and the crown is represented by A.
H. Bodkin, and Messrs. Travers. and
Humphreys
Bodkins was reading the reputed
police transcript of the Cardiff speech
when Mrs Pankhurst violently inter
rupted him. She wanted to object to
the police report, she told the court.
That report Is inaccurate, ignor.
ant and ungrammatical," she declar-
ed. II could not have used words

Intense interest was added to the
trial of Mrs. Pankhurst, because it is
believed to mark the crucial test OF
militancy in Great Britain and further
because Of the popular belief that the
present prosecution OF the leader was
directly inspired by King George.
A curious feature of the remarkable
case is that If Mrs. Pankhurst is con
victed, it will be out of her OWL
mouth. The crowns main evidence
against her is the speech she is al
legged to have delivered at Cardifl
/ Wales, in which she was quoted as
saying that she willingly assumed all
responsibility for inspiring the bomt

Of the exchequer.
