Washington, May 31.--Seantors 7
II. Thornton and ]. e. Ransdell OF
Louisiana have run out" on the ma.
tional Democratic administration so
far as free sugar is concerned. They
will not vote for that part of the tariff
bill sent by Oscar w. Underwood,
leader of the House of Representa-
tives. They will not stand for free
sugar as advocated by President Will
son and adopted by the House.
But few expected they would do
anything else. The last Underwood
bill, which came up in the last session
of Congress, was opposed by them, so
far as the sugar schedule was con-
cerned. Ransdell, as a member of the
House, and Thornton, in the Senate,
voted against free sugar then. Never
theless, President Wilson has such a
strong hold on the Senate that few
members of it and few political OBJ
servers in Washington believe that
free sugar will fail. Already there
have been indications that Senator
Miles Poindexter of Washington, the
only third party man in the upper
Misunderstanding put himself down in
the Congressional Directory as a Pro-
gressive-will stand for the Under
wood measure as whole. Two Demo
cratic votes must be lost before it
would become necessary for the vice
president to cast the deciding vote.

dangerous condition, the result of an
attack yesterday by five would-be as

directed at him took effect. but sur
geons fear the outcome of a vicious
machete wound which laid the Presi-

cause the death of the executive. One
of the culprits, Virgile Mulatiilo was
captured but the authorities are on

EARLY EASTER

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
II anyone has called attention to the
facts and dates which l give below. !
did not happen TO see the article. yet, II
is probable that l am not the only writer
on this subject,
%. There is only one date earlier than
this upon which the Queen of Festivals
may come, that is, March %. But rarely
does Easter fall as early as the latter
on March p since the year 1878. and, per-
haps, not one of the readers of The Age
Herald at that time celebrated the day.
1t is quite unusual for Easter day to
come as early as 1t does this year 1t
came on March % in 17SS 1S45. 1856, and
after this year it will not come so early
again until the year zoos.
Easter day may come as late as April
25, which it did in 1886. but it will not
fall on that same day of the month again
until 194s. 1t will approximate this date
in the year 2011, for it will then come
on April "a.
Think of this distant year-Dl1. What
changes will have been wrought EN-
pires, kingdoms. governments and states
will have risen, declined and passed away,
like the foam upon the billows OF the
sea: and we who now live will have long
been forgotten. being buried in the dark
mausoleum of tne mighty past. But we
shall still liye-somewhere. Where?

Tributes to Memory of Late
Judge Pronounced by the
Supreme Court

Montgomery, February 6.-(Speeial.) )
Tributes to the memory of the late As
sociate Justice Robert Tennent simp-
son of Florence, who died in New York
city last summer. were pronounced by
the supreme court of Alabama Thurs
day in suitable memorial exercises
which were held in honor of the for
mer member of The court.
Chief Justice James r. Dowdell spoke
in warm praise of Judge simpson, de-
claring that ne was not only an emf
nent and able jurist, but a distin-
guished and high minded citizen. Fol-
lowing Chief Justice Dowdell Paul
Hodges of Florence delivered a short
memorial address.
At the conclusion of the memorial
addresses the supreme court adopted
the following resolutions, offered by
Attorney General Robert c. Brickeil In
behalf of the bar of the supreme court.
"The bar of the supreme court of
Alabama. desiring some permanent mo-
mortal of the esteem in which they
mold the memory of Robert Tennent
Simpson, late associate justice of the
supreme court of the state of Ala
yuma, nave adopted the 1OllOWinS TeSo-
lutions, expressive OF such esteem: .
THE life and character Of such a man
furnishes an example worthy of emula-
ton by those of us who had the privilege
of association with him and OF those
members of the bar who were not 50
fortunate, but TO whom he will be known
through the record of his labors as found
in the decisions of that court.
His life, whether viewed as that of a
husband. father. a citizen. a soldier, a
lawyer. a legislator or a judge was the
exempificaton of the highest virtue, the
sturdiest integrity coupled with gentle-
ness and kindness.
His Christian virtues are too well
known to be mentioned here, therefore,
be it resolved, that in his death the state
has lost a citizen and a Judge whose
character as a citizen and labor as a
judge it could i'll afford to lose
.'Resolved second, That we extend to
the members of the family our heartfelt
sympathy.
Resolved third, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished the supreme

request that they may be made a part
