RIVERS FRIENDS MUST
STAND WITH PRESIDENT
Fight on Preparedness Would Be
Fatal, Says Humphreys.

GoI~11 0aJo humphreys.
/ Greenville, Miss, Nov. 7.-Con.
gressman Humphreys was asked to-
day what there was to the announce
ment in the Washington dispatch in
; this mornings Commercial Appeal to
the effect that conference of river
and harbor advocates In Washington
had decided to fight the President IS
preparedness programme, and that
they were counted ON to support Mr..
Bryan in his opposition to this propo-
sition in the coming session of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Humphreys is one of the rank
| ing Democrats on the rivers and har-
bors committee and has always taken
a leading part in all waterway prof.
eets heretofore, and it was thought
that il there were any such agree
ment he would be advised about it.
In reply he said;
There are very few members of
Congress now in Washington, and
whatever conference there was, if
any, certainly was not representative
of those who favor liberal appropria-
tions for our rivers and harbors. The
papers have suggested frequently of
late that the Presidents preparedness
programme would be fought by the
pork barrel advocates, as the friends
of river and harbor appropriations
are frequently called, but I have not
believed there was any warrant for
it. l am certainly as much in favor
of such appropriations as any man
in Congress, but / am also in favor
of big navy and have always been.
am heartily in favor of thorough
military preparedness, and also do
not believe there will be any con-
certed effort by the friends of the
proposition to oppose the other.
Whichever side undertakes to or
ganize against the other will suffer
defeat, in my opinion. This country
is pig enough and rich enough to
care properly for all worthy projects
of internal improvement and at the
same time to SO strengthen our mill
tary and naval power as to reason
ably insure a continuance of peace
full relations with all the world. Our
revenues have been impaired by rea-
son of the European war, and this
fact will have it's influence in Con-
sress when the rivers and harbors
)ill is being framed, but there will
,e no organized effort on the part
# friends of military preparedness
o defeat the bill, and surely the
riends of waterway improvement,
lnless they have utterly lost their
enses, will not invite inevitable dis
ster, by combining to defeat the
programme.

interview purporting to come from
the Mayor of the city, questioning
the sincerity of the Attorney-Gen-
eral and myself, and charging that
the suit was not instituted in good
faith, was published in the Mem
phis newspapers, as well as the press
thruout the State, and thus wide
publicity was given to the charge
made by the Mayor that the law
suit was actuated for the purposes of
revenge and spleen, and without
cause. So that the only remedy left
the State now is to let the court
answer this charge by its decree, and
say whether or not Memphis has been
outraged thru spite and for political
purposes
URGES DISPATCH.
Il shall not enter into a detailed
statement of the facts as we gather
ed them, leading up to the institution
of the suit, for the reason that the
case is now pending in court and set
for an early hearing, and / doubt the
propriety of a statement of facts
which are questions of proof to be
determined by the court in the trial
of the case. The constitutionality
of the law under which the suit was
brought has been challenged by the |
defendants. This makes it necessary
and imperative that this question, as
well as all other questions of law,
shall be determined at the earliest |
possible moment, for if the State is
laws sufficient to cope with
existing conditions in Tennessee, we
must and will have laws that are, if /
to enact them.
There is another reason why l
,ould not in justice to myself or to
Zen. Thompson, enter into any sort
If agreement for the dismissal of this
uit. You will recall that immedi-
Itely upon the institution of the
uit, in the interview of the Mayor

Of the nine specified charges preferred

been filed and will be submitted to

in January.
The hearing was held last summer
before the legislative committee APP
pointed by Speaker Edwin F. Cox at
Fredericksburg, and the committee
assem- bled in Richmond last Thursday
to review the testimony and prepare
its report. Briefly stated. the charges
were:
l. That Judge Chichester was actu-
ated by partisan politics In making
appointments.
2. That he violated statute laws in
making appointments by naming
party associates.
3. Appointed men to position who
already held office. clearly violating
the Constitution.
4. Permitting attorneys practicing

3. Naming persons for position af-

Strict Party Vote, With Two Progress

G.. o. ~. TARIFF CHALLENGE
Former House Leader Makes Maiden
Speech In Reply 10 Republican
Senators Who Sung Praises OF Pro-
tettive Tariff--Retess to January 4.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE Senate
tending the war revenue act for an
other year. The vote on the passa ge
of the resolution was strictly party
alignment--45 Democrats voting for
the measure, and % Republican,
against. Senators Poindexter and
Clapp. known heretofore as Progress
sives, voted with the Republicans.
Senator Smoot proposed a substitute
to limit the provisions of the act to
expire June 80 next, instead of Il year
hence. This was rejected by vote
of 50 to %.
The joint resolution having already
been passed by the House, will go to
the President and be signed by him
before he leaves Washington on his
honeymoon trip.
Partisan Debate.
For nearly six hours preceding the
vote on the passage of the resolution
the Senate participated in an old
fashioned partisan debate, that point
ed very clearly to the tariff as an issue
in the presidential campaign next
year. Senators Penrose, Smoot.
Lodge, McCumber. Sterling, Town.
send and Gronna argued for restor~
alton of the protective duties, and
Senators Simmons, Core and Under
wood defended the administration.
Senator Lodge charged that the DEM
ocratic policy was one of taxing the
rich simply because they were rich
simply because they were numerical
lly stronger and necessary politically to
the Democrats. Senator Underwood,
in his maiden speech, accepted Mr..
Lodges challenge. and said that the
Democratic leaders who framed the
Underwood Simmons tariff act had
deliberately reduced customs dues,
because they desired ito make the
wealthy of the country bear the hur-
den of taxation.
Mr.. Underwood said he was glad to
have the issue raised. for IL indicated
what would be the line Of attack and
defense in the next presidential cam
paign.
Smoot Attacks Bookkeeping.
Senator Smoot attacked the Treas
ury figures of Secretary McAdoo, on
which the war revenue measure was
based. He said the Treasury deficit
! in part had been caused by an increase
OF $210.3SS,s1o III appropriations by
the Sixty-third Congress. and that this
was being used to cover up the situa-
| ton and defer discussion of a general
revenue measure until after the cleo
ton.
Senator Underwood was drawn into
the debate by attacks upon the tariff
law as a revenue measure.
The year the tariff law was enacted,
he said. the expenditures of the gov
eminent were 1854, 100000. Since then
they had Increased each year until
now ii was estimated that exclusive
OF the preparedness program the ex
