DEMOCRATS DECIDE IT'S BETTER
POLICY TO LET REPORTERS
HEAR ALL.
WOOL and SUGAR SCHEDULES STAY
Had to Yield to Agitation Started by
Republican Leaders-Tariff Bill
May Be Ready by First Week
in June.

Washington. - Announcement by
Chairman Simmons of the finance COM
mittee that subcommittee considering
the various schedules of the Under
wood tariff bill had decided to grant
more time to protesting manufacture
ers than was at first intended aroused
considerable interest at the capitol.
Although the effort of senate repub-
licans to force public hearings was
defeated the minority leaders see in
the changed tactics of the democrats a
concession which they claim resulted
from the denunciation of secret con-
sideration of the bill.
Another interesting development was
the determination of Senator Hoke
Smith, member of the subcommittee
considering the cotton and chemical
schedules, to have the private hearings
to be conducted by him taken by a
senate stenographer
This is an innovation which the re-
publicans assert was brought about
through the insistence of Senators La
Toilette and Bristow, who urged that
the private hearings be published for
the benefit of senators not on the
finance committee. 1t also has been
agreed that the finance committee will
send to manufacturers the list of ques-
lions on costs and production proposed
by Senator La Toilette.
Still another liberalizing feature re-
sulting from the debate on the Pen
rosetta Toilette public hearing amend
ment was the reiteration by Senator
Hoke Smith and some of his colleagues
that members of the press could at
tend the private hearings.
I'VE will try to have the bill ready
for the senate by June l." Senator
Simmons said, "but it probably will be
little later than that, owing to the
fact that the sbcommittees have agreed
to give little more time to the manu-
facturers who are protesting against
the rates in the Underwood bill. They
have decided on this, owing to the
1nsistence and persistence of some of
the interests affected by the bill"
Democrats of the committee have
practically de ided they will propose
no changes in the free wool and sugar
schedules, and that democrats opposed
to the present schedules must carry
their fight to the party caucus. Ac-
cording to the present plan the sub
committee having the wool and sugar
schedules under consideration will
listen to all arguments senators wish
to lay before them, but will report the
bill to the full democratic membership
of the committee without recommends
lions.

MARRIAGE FEES ARE CRAFTS"
Church Custom Scored by Episcopal
Clergyman of Chicago.

Chicago.-Marriage fees are minis
ters' gratis, according to a recent
statement by the Rev. Almer Penne-
well, pastor of the Euclid Avenue
Episcopal church.
IF the church insists that marriage
is a rite that belongs to it," Mr.. Pen
newll said, then the church should
make marriage free to all.
THE minister who does not need a
fee should be ashamed to take it. And
a church whose minister needs the fee
should raise his salary. No minister
