Washington, June Ian 18th

Bile at two cents a pound and nullify
the provision for free sugar after
three years, resulted yesterday In an
amendment to the schedule by major
ity members of the Senate finance
committee. Elimination in the Under
wood bill Of the Dutch standard of
color, which has been In tariff bills
for many years, it was discovered,
made applicable to all refined sugar
a paragraph taken from the Payne
Aldrich bill relating to confectionery
which included the following words:
Sugars after being refined when
tinctured, colored or in any way adul-
terated, two cents per pound"
The majority members OF the f.
nance committee had their attention
called to this matter by Senator 'Shep
pard of Texas, who was petitioned by
the chamber of commerce of Green
vile, Tex, to look into the provision
which they believed might defeat the
purpose of the administration and the
majority in Congress as to ultimate
free sugar. 1t was suggested that the
language of the bill as it stood could
be so constructed as to apply to all
refined sugar which in being refined
is colored with ultramarine. The
Dutch standard which was taken out
in the House bill stipulated specifical.

The question struck members of the
finance committee so forcibly that an
investigation was ordered, and Presi-
dent Wilson, when his attention was
called to it, agreed that
it should be looked into thor
oughly Late yesterday the majority
members of the committee received
expert reports to the effect that the
language might operate as a joker
and they promptly struck out the Ian
guage as it referred to refined sugars
and left it applicable only to confec
tioneries.

ENGINEER NOT COMPETENT
Expert Says That Doherty Hadn't
Sufficient Experience.

New Haven, Conn, June 19.-"My
own personal opinion is that Engin-
eer Doherty should not have been al
owed to run the train" declared Pa
trick ]. Langdon, an airbrake expert
of the Lackawanna railroad, referring
to the wreck at Stamford last Thurs
day before the joint inquiry at Bridge
port, CT, by the interstate commerce
commission and the Connecticut pub
lie utilities commission late yester-
day. He said that Doherty would not
have been allowed to run passenger
train on the Lackawanna until he had
had at least three-years experience
as a freight engineer.
Mr.. Langdon also gave testimony
as to the results of the test run Tues
day by the same engine and equip
ment as in the Stamford wreck and
intended to duplicate conditions at
the time of the accident General
Manager Bardo of the New Haven
asked him this question: "As an air
brake expert, would you say that the
performance of the test train yester-
day was satisfactory-that is, as
trains come and go?"
Mr.. Langdon promptly replied,
Eyes" Asked as to the type of air
brakes on engine 1888, the engine
that figured in the wreck, Mr. Lang
don said: "They are the best type
of locomotive brakes on the market
today" He said that he would rather
have an engineer with good judg
ment and poor brakes than first-class
brakes and an engineer with poor
judgment. All the safeguards in the
world are valueless, he said, if the
engineer uses poor judgment
