DEMOCRATS AND
FREE SUGAR ISSUE
Test of Strength Of Oppon-
ents of President Will
sons Policy.
SIX PLANS TO REVISE.
Fight Likely to Continue All Sum-
ner-Southern Cane Growers Ex-
erciscd Over Measure.

Washington, April 12.-Cost Of fill
ing sugar bowls in millions Of Amer
lean homes was at stake today when
The House Democrats resumed their
caucus on the Underwood tariff bill.
Real warfare among the Democrats
began, and initial test Of strength Of
opponents of President Wilson's tar
if revision policy. The fight over
The sugar schedule promised to con-
tinue all day.
Six different proposals to revise the
sugar duties were before the caucus.
Rep. Broussard, of Louisiana, rep
resenting the can sugar interests,
had four amendments, all reducing
the present sugar tariff but none
providing such a deep slashing as
fixed in the Underwood bill. Brous-
sard proposed a sliding scale reduc-
ton, of 81 1-2 cent a hundred weight
upon the passage Of the bill and fur
their reduction aggregatingly e. cents
per hundred pounds by 1916, with a
duty of 81 Of l per cent. per pound
after that time. Broussard, as ali
alternative proposed 10 put sugar on
the free list in four or five years,
instead of in three as provided in the
Underwood BILL
Free sugar at once was the propo-
sal of Representative Hardwick, of
eighty votes was the predicted
strength which would De mustered
by the sugar proteiionlsts against
the administration sugar revision
program. Party leaders declared to-
day, however, that while this number
of Democrats might vote against the
sugar reduction in caucus, not over a
score will openly oppose the bill
where it passes the House.
Majority Leader Underwood de-
clarcd today that it would be impos-
sible to finish consideration of the
bill in caucus for another week and
shat it would probably be April q
before its consideration in the House
can begin. He will not "gag" debate
in the caucus or rush the Democrats
in their consideration of The bill,
believing ample debate in caucus will
expedite its passage in the House.
Thath the tariff fight in the Senate
will only be well begun by mid-sum-
mar and that it will extend we'll into
September, was the intimation given
today by Senator Williams Of Missis-
sippi. veteran tariff expert among
the Democratic members of the fl

KAISER SHARES
IN DEFENSE TAX

Berlin.-Some interesting figures
have recently appeared concerning the
participation of the kaiser and other
distinguished persons in the non-re-
curing defense tax, or the war treas
ury. as 1t is commonly called.
The kaiser will not share entirely
in the favor shown towards the land
owners. The forests ne owns are so
valuable that his fortune will be tax
ed in proportion. His majesty will
probably have to pay upon an assess
ed capital of 120,000.OOO marks. so
that his share for the treasury will
amount to more than 100000 marks.
The crown prince, it is stated, will
Contribute about $4,000 marks and
his brother, Prince Eitel, will only
have to pay 5000, or the tax upon the
100000 marks received by him with
his wife. Prince Friedrich Leopold.
the Kaiser's brother-in-law who is
very wealthy man, will have to pay
as his share $1,000 marks and Prince,
Otto Won Bismarck is to be assessed
with about $500 marks
The imperial chancellor, who is
supposed to be worth a million, will
contribute 5000 marks and the agri-
cultural minister Herr Won Schorle-
mer, who Is very rich. must contrib
ute to the defense tax to the extent of
some $4,000 marks

LA GRANDE WINS
FROM N. YAKIMA

La Grande, May lila Grande's
Spuds added fire to the wild fire of
baseball insanity in La Grande yester-
day when the Kingsters frightened up
and stayed tight after six innings of
up and down baseball against Yakima
There were enough double plays and
lightning footwork to give the game
class in spots but on the whole the
fastidious had ground for complaint
when they judged 1t on a purely sci
entific basis. But, oh verify it was an
interesting game.

bench. Jamison taking the helm with
the bases full. He wormed himself
out and went good until the third
when he developed a streak of March
hairitis and only after three had
crossed did he strike his pace again.
Nadeau grabbed liner in the seventh
and whipped the pill back to second
to get Engle, taking Jamison out of
another deep well in which the gong
rang nevertheless. Otherwise he had
the Braves tanned and docile.
Engle tried to start something in
the ninth but two pinch hitters went
by way of the plate and back to the
bench. Jamieson's backing was such
that when an error meant run the

ran for home base as though some-
one was after him. He got there all
right, but Harmon caught the ball.
