CLARK OPPOSES
TOLLS REPEAL
Speaker Makes Final Talk
Against Measure.
NOT A PERSONAL ISSUE

DiscIaims Any Ambition to -Presi
dency as Reason for His Attitude
but Contends Mr.. Wilson Is Mis-
taken in His Views on Subject.
Washington, April In an atmos
phere Of tense excitement, the strug
gle in the house over President vii
sons proposal to repeal the Panama
tolls exemption was pressed to it's
last stage.
Speaker Clark, closing debate
against the repeal, disappointed those
who expected him to attack Presi
dent Wilson. He disclaimed any per
sonal issue with the president, de-
clared he believed Mr.. Wilson was
actuated by the highest patriotic mo
tives, and that there was no breach
in the Democratic party.
He argued at length against the
presidents contention and declared
that "the amazing request of the
president for the repeal, like the
peace of God, 'passeth all understand
ing" ..-
He diselaimed any personal issue
between the president and himself
and added if the president had rea
sons (which are not utterly untenable
and which compel him to make this
request" he had not given them to
the house.
He contended that the president
was mistaken in the view that the
exemption was repugnant to the Hay:
Pauncefote treaty.
"Face a World in Arms"
'We want war with no nation" said
the speaker, "but rather than sur
render our right to complete sover
eighty over every square foot of our
globe encirclng domain, we will
cheerfully and courageously face a
world in arms"
He attacked the attitude of the
house Democrats who have led the
presidents fight for the toll exemp
tion repeal. Referring to published
declarations that his opposition to
the president was "the opening gun
of his fight for the nomination in
1916" the speaker declared he had
told all to whom he had spoken about
1916 situation that if the president s
administration were success Mr.
Wilson would be reelected, and if il
were failure "the nomination would
not be worth having" -
Representative Thomas, Democrat
and Representative Heating, Demo.
crat, favored the bill. So did Repre-.
sentative Slayden (Dem., Tex.). Rep.
resentative Kent of California, Inde
pendent, agreed with the president
that exemption was subsidy.
Representative Copley of Ohio and
Cooper of Wisconsin, Republicans
spoke for repeal. Representative
Powers (Rep., Ky.) spoke against it

iron and steel companies.
It is estimated by experts Of the
commission that elimination Of such
payments would mean an annual loss
to the steel corporation alone Of about
$4,000, 900.
The order provides for hearings. No
date has been fixed, but it is scarcely
likely they will be held before next
autumn, in which event it will be
necessary for the commission before
July 80 further to suspend the tariffs.

He got in late this morning, went
straight to the Office and asked me to

happened between the time he tele-

On our way to the club we met

he finally succeeded in getting her in.
The car broke down and as a result
Of the trip Mary was late for supper.
Her husband detected her in a
falsehOod, for she denied having seen
Horton, while John saw her in the
automobile.
Later, Horton forced his attentions
on Mary in a restaurant and John
discovered them. For the sake of the
baby, he tried to believe Mary and
forgive her.
When summer came the Ransons
visited their summer bungalow and
were very happy, away from all
temptation. But Horton traced them
there and sent a fake telegram to
John, announcing that business de-
manded his return for a day.
When Mary was alone, Horton
visited the cabin, pretending to be
badly hurt, and foolish, kind-hearted
Mary believed and helped him.
Horton was very happy at the sue
cess Of his ruse and proceeded to
force his attentions upon Mary until
interrupted by her husband, who IN
expected returned. Ransom believed

and then he stopped, for he realized
that he had made mistake.
Seems to me that your aCquaint-

there was jealous note in the words
that she seemed too angry to keep
out.

lunch, Eleanor" said Dick practically,

the worst and after a fight with Hor-
ton, who wounded him in the Shout
der, he turned his wife from the
door.
The years passed and Mary be-
came a nurse in a hospital. She was
very sad and lonely at times and al
ways regretted her weakness which
led her into familiarity with her hus-
bands friend.
Then Horton became i'll and fate
brought him to this same hospital,
where the duty of nursing him fell
to Mary Ransom. She begged him to
sign a confession, generating her
from all blame. When he did, she
mailed it to her husband, with the
hope in her heart that he would be-
lieve it and that she could enter the
old life again.
John Ransom read the confession
and pondeTed it carefully, but did not
believe it. He tore and cast it into
the fire, while the leaping flames de-
stroyed all of Mary's hopes for a
reconciliation.
So a weak woman paid. the penalty
of a filtration.

DAVE Says

Many man pays a lot of atten-
tion to his suit or overcoat and lit
tie to his haberdashy-all Of
which is very serious error.
For in haberdashy a mans taste
is reflected as in nothing else.
One hears more disparaging re-
marks about lack Of harmony in
haberdashy than about any other
part of mans attire.
There's one safe road TO follow,
however. and that is the road that
leads direct to Kraus Bros store.
Every type OF haberdashy they
display is in decided good taste,
much Of il special and exclusive
with them and the prices are no
higher than you must pay for the
ordinary, elsewhere.
Weather for to-day: Fair.
