FEARS DARK DAYS" AGAIN.
Senator Smith Makes Vigorous As
 sault on Tariff Bill.

Washington May 9-Republicans of the senate leaped eagerly into their fight against the Underwood tariff bill when it was brought over from the house today and precipitated an issue by attempting to override the decision of the democrats to consider the measure without public hearings.
 Forerunning the assault that the re- publicans propose to wage against the schedules from agate to zinc, Sen ator PenroSe sought to have the bill referred to the finance committee with instructions for public hearings after Senator Simmons, chairman of the committed. had moved for reference without instructions. Action on this phase was pending when the sen ate adjourned until Tuesday. several republican leaders predicting that they would win their contention and that public hearings would be forced over the heads of the finance committee.
 Democratic leaders, however, dis puted this prediction
 Repetition of the Dark Days"
 Speaking to the Penrose amendment. Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan in a vigorous appeal for consideration of the bill in the open instead of in the darkness and gloom" of the committee reom, as sailed the tariff bill.
 He declared that it would result in repetition of dark days that fol- lowed the Wilson bill, that the sugar industry would be ruined. that oth- CT industries would suffer and that already business was falling off rap idly throughout the country. Charg- ing that free sugar in three years would give the American sugar re- f7ning company and the Federal Sugar Refining company an option which they v-ould foreclose on the prop erty of the beet sugar interests, their only domestic rivals, Senator Smith declared that the beet sugar industry in which 15,00o persons in Michigan alone were interested, would be wiped out.
 An UnhoIy Alliance.
 If the American Sugar Refining company and the Federal Sugar company" said Senator Smith have made an alliance with the democratic party. it is an unholy alliance. Men who have not shirked in committing crimes to increase the volume of their business. and who are now respond ing to the will of the law make very poor allies for any political party"

TIGHT SKIRTS THE
 CAUSE OF FIRES
Merchants Burned Up Pettcoats for
 Which There Was No Demand.

Chicago, May e.-Changes in styles in woman's apparel have been respon- sible for incendiary fires causing loss es running into the millions. Assistant States Attorney Frank Johnston, in charge of the local prosecution of the arson trust told members of the Chicago engineering club last night.
 For instance, when women began wearing toght skirts there was a heavy decrease in the number of petticoats sold" he said. Merchants overstock- ed with these garments called in the heads of the arson trust and fires were arranged.
 Those not aware of conditions thought it was remarkable that so many skirt factories burned. but the fiTenen understood. They were not surprised when, after aigrettes had displaced willow plumes in woman's favor there were large insurance losses on feathers throughout the country A change in the style of shirtwaists was followed by the destruction of numerous skirtwaist factories, which in many instances, was more than coincidence"

coDDLE THE PEOPLE. BUT
 FAIL TO TELL TRUTH
Prof. Taft on Present Day Tendencies
 of Congressman.

New Haven. Conn. May 9.-E'ormer President William Howard Taft, Kent professor of law at Yale, in his third lecture On Some Questions of Mod ern Government today denounced the initiative and referendum as very much like legislation during the French Revolution-the work of po- litical cranks and directly contrary to the spirit of the constitution
 He dealt at length with the income ta and advocated a. graduated income tax which would include all incomes of more than one thousand dollars on the ground that everybody ought to contribute something, in order that he may feel more responsibility in the government because of his payment"
 Professor Taft discussed character istics of the present day men in con gress, declaring that they pay too much attention to what their constit- uents want. He said They coddle the people. fail to tell the truth to them. Many men in congress now fatter the people so much that they finally come to believe they are victims of others. Ultimately, however, the people will find out and will reverse their action on these men
 The less man knows of WOmen's ways the more serene is his mind.

 Roads Less of an Objection.

Chicoga May 9-An innovation which will appeal to all cities in which there are elevated railroad structures is proposed by the Chicago authorities. Thereafter station plat forms are to be constructed of prisma- tic glass just as sidewalks in the bus mess district are constructed over basementS.
 The purpose is to permit every prac- ticable increase in the passenger carry ing capacity of the elevated roads with as little addition as possible to the ob- iectionable features.
 George Watson Of the Board of En- gineers had worked out a plan by which the extended platforms, instead of obStructing the light will aid in lighting the stores and streets beneath the elevated structure.
