WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Senate

house bill repeating the provision in

which would have placed sugar on

BY about TO 1 the senator's vot-
cd TO abandon the bill adopted by
the senate as q substitute for the
house bill. The substitute provided
that the present duty of one cent q
pound on sugar should be continued
until 1920. The result of Wednes-
day nights action will he TO con-
tinue the existing duty indefinitely.
Senate leaders had insisted upon
sugar going on the free list by 1920
at least on the ground that demo-
cratic policy was against "a tax on a
necessity o; life. Tonight they We're
won over to the house position by

Nv. Because the school as de-
