LONGWORTH OFFERS
DYESTUFFS TARIFF
Measure Goes to Ways and
Means Committee for
Quick Action.
Special Despatch to TEE Sun.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The bill for
protection of the dyestuffs and chemical
industries prepared by Representative
Longworth (Ohio) was introduced In the
House to-day and will be taken UP by
the Ways and Means Committe as soon
as the repeal OF the luxury taxes Ii an
accomplished fact.
The Longworth bill follows the recon-
mendations of the United States Tariff
Commission in dividing the imports into
two classes with different import rates,
but makes the duties much higher. Also
in the Longworth measure the provision
for reducing the duties year by year at
the rate of 20 per cent, as In existing
law. is dropped altogether on tho theory
that when these war born industries are
strong enough to compete with foreign
made articles 1t will be time enough to
lower the rates
The measure would impose an ad
valorem duty Of IS per cent on one
group of chemical imports and so per
cent ad valorem on a second group.
On the first group a special tax of six
cents pound would be imposed also In
lieu OF the commissions recommendation
Of two and half cents, and articles In
the second group imported into the
United States will have to pay in add
ton to the ad valorem duty a tax of 10
cents a pound. The Tariff Commission
recommended 1--WE cents a pound for this
group.
THE object of the bill is to give leg
islative relief to the industry of this
country producing dyes and allied chem
!cals without which 1t Is obvious that
1t cannot survive when international
competition is restored" said Mr.. Long
worth.
Since the war began probably more
than $500, 100000 has been invested in
this industry. which Is now competent
to supply practically all the needs of
the American market. Upon the con-
clusion OF peace. however. enormous
quantities of dyes now manufactured
and In process OF manufacture in Ger
many and other countries will be at
once dumped on the American market
with the result that probably 30 per
cent. Of our industry will go to the scrap
heap. This bill In its technical details
adopts the suggestions OF the Tariff Com
mission, which has given very exhRus-
tive Investigation to the working OF the
present law.
while the rates OF duty suggested
are only tentative I think that IL reen-
forced by a strong anti-dumpins pro-
vision they will be sufficient to mainte in
at least the great bulk of the dye IN
dustry here"

COSTA RICANS BONE
u. S. LEGATION HOUSE
Attack Laid to I'LL viii Over
League.

WASHINGTON, May 2a.-Acting Secre-
tary Of State Polk announced to-day
that an attempt had been made to de-
molish the American Legation building
at San Jose, Costa Rica, by the explo-
sion of a bomb on Monday. Only slight
damage resulted. Immediate investiga-
ton has been ordered by the United
States Government.
The only theory 30 far advanced is
that Costa Ricans have become SO en-
ragged over what they term the slight on
Costa Rican sovereignty through the
omission OF Costa Rica as At for the
family Of nations by the Peace Confer
ence that an active anti-Americaa pro-
paganda has developed. The League of
Nations covenant classified Mexico,
Costa Rica and Honduras as "unfit" by
mentioning all other nations excepting
enemy countries as present or prospec-
tive adherents to the league plan.
AS President Wilson has refused to
recognise President Tineco OF Costa
Rica. II has assumed that the American
delegates In Paris were responsible for
the affront upon the present Costa Rican
Government.
The American Degation Is in charge
of Benjamin F. Chase as consul. The
bomb was placed near the entrance to
the Legation reception room but IL failed
to do any damage to the interior of the
Legation.

DEMAND IN HOUSE
johnson and Emerson Assail
BOlshevists and Para
sitical AgitatOrs.

WASHINGTON. May 23.-General de-
bate on the s15.000,00O Indian appro-
priation bill was completed to-day by
the House in accordance with the sched-
nle arranged by the Republicans for
rushing through the appropriation meas
ures which failed in the last Congress
and which must be passed before July l..
The bill will come up tomorrow for de-
bate under the Ave minute rule and for
final passage.
Members of the House took advantage
of the four hours debate allowed on the
bill to speak on various subjects in
which they were Interested RApre-
sentative johnson (Wash.). chairman of
the immigration Committee. urged that
the country begin Cleaning house" at
once OF all "Bolshevik agitators" and
that while this was being done the
countrys doors should be closed TO
other aliens. Representative Emerson
IOhio), speaking on the same subject,
declared that aliens who had earned
high wages while Americans were fight
ing at the front and now were agitating
against the country were parasites
who should be stamped out.
Necessity OF returning American SOL
diers in Europe to this country as soon
as possible was urged by Representa-
tive Dallinger (Mass) who asserted
that many were being held in the army
because swivel chair officers did not
want to lose their jobs. The same thing
prevailed in many other Government de-
partments. he said, urging a general
removal OF "sinecure job holders"
The discussion as to responsibility for
failure Of large appropriation measures
in the last Congress was renewed when
Representative Tess (ohio). Republican.
asserted II was not the Senate flibus-
ter OF the last session which prevented
the measures from being passed, but
the failure of the Democratic members
in the House to pass the bills until such
a late date that they could not be re-
ported out by the Senate committees in
time to be taken up.
Former Speaker Clark disputed this
statement, saying that the House lad
passed the supply bills two days earlier
than usual and that II Republican SEN
ators had not flibustered they could
have been passed with time to spare.
Representative Kitchin (North Caro-
lina), former Democratic leader, de-
clared that II was a well known fact
that three Republican Senators. by a
deliberate fifbuster." had stopped pas.

DEMAND
DRASTIC DRY LAWS
Jones and Sheppard Offer
Rigid Enforcement Bills.
Special Despatch to THE suS.

WARRINGTON. May 23.-If there Il
anything in the notion. entertained by
some hopeful folk. that the dry law can
be rendered so drastic that It will pres
emily be hated into its grave, then the
Senators who are introducing the official
bills looking to prohibitions enforcement
should get the glad hand OF welcome
from the vets.
Two Of the prohibition enforcement
bills were introduced to-day and both
represent, roughly. the ideas Of the Anti
Saloon League forces, which apparently
are conceded the right to be satisfied
with the enforcement code. One is
fathered by Senator Jones wash }, the
other by Senator Sheppard (Tex.). The
most important difference between them
so far as operating detail is concerned,
is that the Sheppard bill prohibits
alcoholic liquors for beverage pur-
poses," while the Jones bill gives a def
milton OF alcoholic liquors, and prohibits
those containing one-half of per cent
of alcoholic content.
The eighteenth amendment doesn't
attempt a definition. II Congress makes
none, by adopting the plan OF the Jones
bill. the Commissioner of Prohibition Is
expected to adopt the definition now &C.
cepted by the Internal Revenue Bureau,
which makes anything alcoholic liquor
that has one-half OF per cent. So the
fighters will apparently get of at the
same place, except that under the Jones
measure there will be a shadowy chance
for the courts to iptrude and make
new judicial definition. The chance for
light-very light-wines and for beer
to squeak past resides in the Jones plan.
Making cider for vinegar. or for con-
sumption when II Is Notwithstanding, is
not forbidden. Medicines whose formu-
las are approved by the United States
pharmacopia or the American Institute
of Homeopathy may be made and sold
under proper permits; fiavoring ex-
tracts, toilet articles and the like but
permits and explicit labels are required.
Alcoholic patent medicines that can be
used as beverage are prohibited.
A search and SEIZURE clause is pro-
vided. but It does not apply to bona tide
private residence unless two persons
sign affidAvits that intoxicating liquor is
sold in the residence. This provision is
more carefully safeguarded than in the
ordinary prohibition law.
II Ia the special duty of the United
States Attorney-General and the Dis
tllct Attorneys to prosecute violations
of the act. All State officers are au-
thorized as at present to make arrests

and bind over violators of the law to
the Federal Court 1t provides there
are no property rights in liquors kept or
sold in violation of law.
The penalties provided for violating
the law are First offense, 800 to $500.

prisonment ninety days Third offense,
not less than $500 and Imprisonment

months Provision Ia made for requir-

viction that he will not thereafter vio-
