is what you are endeavoring to force upon them."
 Chairman Simmons, of the finance committee, and Senator Hoke Smith, of the committee, today expressed their adherence to the doctrine of re- ciprocity. Both these senators said they hoped the Tariff bill, when it becomes a war, would provide the ma chinery that would enable the presi- dent to negotiate reciprocal tariff ranged that the president would have an effective weapon at his command to compel concessions. Every major ity member of the committee had stated repeatedly that there will be many amendments to the bill and that in a great many items the rate will be increased.
 The method of procedure of the senate committee and the house differ radically. In the senate the Demo- crats are taking into consideration the difference i'll the cost of production here and abroad in fixing their rates number of articles that have been put on the free list will be shifted back to the dutiable list and few articles made dutiable in the house will be made free. The rates on high grade cotton are to be raised and a new classification arranged. Window and plate glass duties as fixed by the house are deemed to be too low and will be raised. All these changes af ford opportunity of subsequent under reciprocal trade agreements in line with the real Democratic tariff idea.
 The committee has not yet takelY up the reciprocity feature of the Underwood bill When it is consider. ed a grNat deaL will be said by way of criticism of the house measure in this respect. The fight to order public hearings will come up again Tuesday, Not until that time can any prelimin- ary step be taken to make progress in Tariff legislation.

SHARP DEBATE ON
 TARIFF MEASURE Senatorial Body Adjourns Without Taking Action
 on the Bill.
ARGUMENT IS SHARP
Senator Smith, of Michigan, Crit. cizes Sugar Schedule in
 Caustic Manner.

Washington, May 9-A sharp and acrimonious debate on the tariff was precipitated today when the House bill was laid before the senate and Chairman Simmons moved that it he referred to the finance committee Senator Penrose amended that with a motion that the committee be directed to hold public hearings. The point of order that this was not germain was promptly overruled by Vice Pre- sident Marshall and for two hours the cross fire of debate continued, only to be ended with the close of the morning hour. At the juncture, ,Nitl both motions pending, Senator Kern, majority leader, moved that when tho senate adjourned it be until neXt Tuesday afternoon.
 This prevailed and at the very threshold of debate on the Tariff by Democratic vote, delay of three days was ordered in the face of the demand of President Wilson that not a mom- ent be lost in tanning through the senate this bill, just as he had ap- proved it.
 senator Smith. of Michigan, was tho chief speaker of the day. He based his caustic criticism on the suga: schedule, the manufacture of beet sugar being a great industry of his state. The country should know, he declared, that under this bill the beet sugar industry was dead 1t gave the trust three years in which to run down the value of the stock of the bee sugar manufacturers and then buy it in. mean while ruining the farmers who have converter their lands into sugar beet farms.
 "And after the trust has run their competitors out of business, as they will under this law" calculated Mr. Smith, "and competition no longer exists, the price of sugar will be in- creased to what it was before beet sugar was discovered. If you intend to withdraw from circulation all the money invested in sugar production and turn it over to foreigners, itl ought to be done in the open. Give the people a chance to be heard and do not do this in the dark and gloom of a secret chamber"
 Senator Smith said it was singular looking to free trade bore the name of Wilson.
 'I saw Bryan help carry William L. Wilson on his shoulder from the House on the day of his great trium- ph.' It was not very long before these same shoulders carried weight so heavy that it has taken twenty years to regain the confidence of the people. don't believe that pros perity can continue under this law. In your hearts you don't believe it. Or you would not be worried as you are. It was faith in your promised good work that put you in power" continued Senator Smith. eff this question were to be submitted to the people today you would be repudiated and thrown from office The Ameri- can people are not free trade and that

 '"Then why" he was asked, |" did you call your friends into confer ence?"
 MT. Russell did not give a very clear answer. He was asked if he had stat ed that there was a shortage on the improvement district books of $13,3O0 and he replied that they did not know that there was shortage at all.
 The city's books up to the time City Treasurer ". B. Alexander retir- ed from offl:e, balanced, according to that gentleman last night. 'sI only re- ceived what money MT. Russell brought me while 1 was collector and he would tell me what fund it was from. l turned all the money and all the vouchers I had over to my successor, Mr+sReeves.''
 MT. Russell has many friends in this city. He has been active in busi- ness and church circles for several years and his friends have implicit confidence in him. They declare that if given the opportunity no one will lose cent, if there is any shortage ill the improvement district funds, and add that MT.

He told us all of it and then we ap- pointed a committee to adjust the matter. We first telegraphed for the bonding company representative and we were awaiting his arrival when MT. Russell was placed under arrest He has property of sufficient value to pay all indebtedness to the improve ment districts"

First Annual Field Meet and Interscholastic Contests
 Are Held.
EVENTS POSTPONED
Large Crowds Witness Both Athletic and Literary Performances
 Cups Awarded.

The first annual inter scholastic contests in the history of Pine Bluff, held last night at the High School auditorium and yesterday afternoon at Forrest Park, composed undoubt- edly the most successful events in local school work
 Despite the fact that this is the first time such program has been at tempted in this city, yet the High School auditorium was packed to it's capacity last night with anxious and enthusiastic patrons, who came to see by the city schools.
 Yesterday afternoon, a large crowd of athletic fans watched the field and track meet between the city school teams, and cheered their favorites on to victory
 In masterful manner, Richard Flournoy of Lakeside School, deliver- ed his oration entitled Our Flag" and was awarded the cup in the de- clamatory contest. The young mans work was of the highest type and it must be said to his credit that it would be hard matter to find an orator of the grammar school type who could defeat him.
 Rendering Seven Time One" Miss Frances Coleman, of the Sam Taylor school, won the reading contest over her opponents and covered herself with praise by her excellent rendi- tion of the enjoyable piece. She was also awarded handsome silver lov- ing-cup
 The Primary spelling match held last night was won by the representa- tives of Sixth Avenue school, silver loving-cup being awarded as prize.
 The Grammar Grade Spelling con- test was won by Miss Ada Bain of the SubFreshman. Miss Josephine Martin was her nearest competitor and she was forced to 'sit down" by spelling the word "hyacinth."
 Athletic Contests.
 The field and track meet held yes- terday afternoon at Forest Park was a great success from every stand point, each of the city schools having representatives in each event.
 However, on account of the fact that so many entrants in the field events were present the time was insuffici- mt for the holding of all the contests and number were postponed until Monday afternoon. They will then be held at the High school grounds and the prizes awarded at that time.
 The high school events were held separately from the grammer grade contests and consequently much time was taken up. Results:
