THREE DEMOCRATS
AGAINST REPEAL
OF SUGAR Il w
Republicans Twit Majority on
Its Conversion to ProtectiveI
Tariff Doctrinei More 0ppo-
Sition Likely,


Washington. March 15.--The ad-
ministradon bill to repeal the free
sugar clause Of The Underwood-Sim-
mons tariff law which would take
effect next May /, came up for gem
eral debate IN the house today and
opposition to its passage came from
three democrats, Representatives
Bailey of Pennsy lvanla, keating Of
Colorado and Vandyke Of Minnesota,
Mr. Bailey, who Is regarded as
William Jennings Bryan's spokesman
in the house said it was true the
country needed the money TO he de-
rived from retaining the present tar
iff on sugar, but that an economical
expenditure of public funds would
have made the proposed legislation
unnecessary. Mr. koatiug Insisted
that the measure would mean the
adding Of cent a pound TO sugar 20
be divided fifty fifty between the
United states and the sugar trust. Mr.,
Vandyke took a similar position.
Republican speakers twitted the
democrats about adopting protec-
tive tariff measure Representative
Longworth, Of Ohio, formally well
coined the democrats into the repub-
lican party He said 1t was the
first time in a century that the en-
tire membership of the ways and
means committee had agreed OF n
tariff bill Representative Collier, Of
Mississippi, in opening debate for the
bill explained that the change in eco
nomic conditions caused by the war
made the repeal necessary.
Further democratic attacks on The
measure are expected before the final
vote tomorrow.

by General Funston was relaxed to-

Be Backing Villa,

ray MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiEal
Washington, March 15.--Ou request
of the state department orders have
been sent to collectors of customs at
seaports of the United States and
along the Mexican border to hold up
shipments Of arms, ammunition or ex-
plosives consigned to Mexico except
such as it is clearly established are de-
signed for the de facto government
The order was said tonight to be the
outcome OF information reaching the
department. that a large consignment
of explosives intended for the villa
forces was about to be sent south.
The Instructions are sweeping in char
acter and forbid shipments to any
point in Mexico along the northern
border or to any seaport. They will
shut off shipments to mining COM
panles or other persons not officially
representing the Carranza government.
How long they will remain in force
was not known tonight, but certainly
they will not be revoked until there
is apparently no chance of any arms
shipments reaching Villa or any of
his sympathi2ers
Officials tonight refused to discuss
the subject, but there was reason to
believe some credence had been placed
in recent reports that friends of Ger
tain European nations had been will
ing to put munitions Of war at the
disposal Of Villa.
The instructions sent out as result
of the present situation virtually sur
persede those issued several months
ago. In the former orders the expor-
tation Of arms was forbidden TO the
Mexican provinces of Lower California
Chihuahua and Sonora except where
there was a specific authorization by
the president, This allowed shipments
TO go through to mining companies
and others when il was clear that they
were not destined to villa or his ad-
