Measure for Municipal

Opposition.
WOODS BILL NEXT
TO BE CONSIDERED
Aims to Induce Merger;
Amendments Are In
dicated.

with every available chair occu-
pied. the House District Commit
tee took up the street car question
yesterday. Even the Sldest mem
bers agreed that never in their
recollection had a subject aroused
as much interest IS the present
traction situation -
The two most popular bills yes
terday will occupy a conspicuous
place at the committee meeting thi:
morning, namely the Keller meas
ure, advocating municipal owner
ship and the Woods bill providing
for an excess profits tax.
KeIIar Explains Plan.
So far there has been no indica-
tion of a lack of interest on the
part of any of the members of the
House District Committee. In fact
Chairman Focht finds 1t difficult al
times to prevent the entire body
from taking an active part in the
proceedings at the same time. AT.
ter several heated arguments Rep
resentative Keller. of Minnesota
was allowed to explain his plan tc
take over the railways, it being un-
derstocd that the Woods bill shall
be the next measure to be con.
sidered.
After Mr.. Kellar had explained
4f r.. Of
figures compiled by the auditors o.
the hSarT Francisco municipality
owned hallway company to prov,
the praeticability of municipal own
ership Of railways AS the commit
tee was obliged to adjourn before
Mr. Keller was able to read hi.
he be permitted to resume thi!
morning.
Wants Voluntary Merger.
Chairman Zihlman of the sub
committee was of the opinion thai
by establishing q separate fare fo'
the Capital Traction Company the
two companies would be compelled
to merge, but before he advocated
any such drastic measure he hopeS
that the corporations could be in
ducsd to merge by giving them the
opportunities offered by the Ball
FCcht bill.
Representative Underhill. Of Mass
achusetts attempted to show the
faIlacy of municipal ownership by
comparison of the LOCAL situatlor
with that existing in Boston. Mr.
Underhill favored the Woods bill
but suggested that the tax on the
street car companies should be re-
duced still more or removed alto
sether. He explained as his reason
for this, that all taxes placed upor
street car companies are ultimately
paid by the car riders, yet the own
ers of automobiles use>the street!
which are partly paved by the
money extracted from the car rid
ers in the form of taxes
DepIores Rash Promises
1T is time to stop fooling the
peopIe by making rash promise:
that cannot be fulfilled" Underhill
declared. The street car companies
u,ust make a fair return on theil
Investment" Later on Mr.. Under
hill said: You can't run street rail-
ways on hot air as you do Con-
gress" He then insisted that the
plan adopted in order to succeed
must be founded on good solid busi-
ness judgment

London, June 2s.-Eamonn De

an oficial conference between Sim
Fein, Ulster and British leaders to
aattempt a settlement of the civil
war in ireland.
Impossible in its present form"
is De valera's decision, embodied in
a telegram to Sir James Craig.
Ulster leader. after Craig had re-
fused to meet De Valera in con-
ference in Dublin which would in
clude only Irish representatives.

IRISH political differences should

adjusted on Irish soil. but It is OBJ
rious that in negotiations for peac.
with Great Britain. the Irish dele
gataion ought not to be divided. but
should TACT as a unit on some COM
mon principle"
Hopes Die Away.
Hope of an early solution Of the
Irish problem early today gave way
to a distinct feeling of pessimism
as a result of developments during
the last twenty-four hours in the
Irish camp.
Officials pointed with some scorn
to De Valera's message inviting the
Irish minority chiefs to confer
with him at Dublin. as "an impos-
sible summons" Some of them de-
clare il impairment. And then
those who cling to the forlorn hope
can onl yargue that the invitation

dleton, Dockerell Jameson and
other Ulster leaders was intended
as ono method of sparring for time.

an intentional effort to upset the
governments program. they say.
Invitation to Craig.
It is considered possible that De
Valera is hoping sincerely to pre-
sent a united Irish front at Down.

to Sir James Craig clearly speci-
fed that De Valera was to be

Developments, highly singular that

new TARIFF BILL
COMPLETED AFTER
MONTHS OF WORK
Draft introduced in the
House, But Many vi
tai Changes Due.

The Ways and Means Committee
Of the House after months Of labor,
has completed and introduced its
draft Of a permanent tariff bill.
The measure proposes a return
to the principle of protection
through the imposition of duties
which are in general about on a
level with those contained in the
Payne-Aldrfch law of 1909. and is
expected to bring in between s4o0,-
ooo. 900 and $500. 100000.
More Changes Due.
. The committee worked until the
last minute yesterday in order to
get the bill in on schedule time
Committee members concede tina;
the bill in many respects is imper-
feet and that it will be subjected
to alterations before it is enacted
The Republicans will discuss the
measure at a party caucus tonight
at which time objections will be
made known.
Values Fixed I'm United States-
The bill. for the first time, would
put imports on an American valua-
tion" for the purpose of assessing
cutIes. American valuation mean;
| the price of similar commodities il
the principal markets of the United
States. Heretofore the valuation
mas been the invoice value In tn,
country OF origin.
The bill also contains reciprocit,
provisions. These are the same ..
were in the Dngley tariff Of 1897
| Under the reciprocal arrangement.
In the bill. the President may ne
gotiate treaties with other nation!
for a mutual reduction Of tariff
rates or may by proclamation pu
into effect the tariff rates which
any country imposes on American
| goods. where those rates are high
er than those of this country.
Fight on Lumber.
| Opposition to the lumber sections
persists, and this threatens to b,
one of the principal objects of a.
tack when the bill comes up 70,
discussion.
The wool schedule, likewise
! threatens trouble. 1t differs il
many respects from the famous
| SCHEDULE X" of the Payne-Aldricf
law. but the level of duties is ap
proximately the same. The presen
bill would impose tax of 20 cent
pound on clean content wool
whereas the former tariff impose
a tax of IL cents a pound. "greas'

Another schedule facing Difficult

bill would impose a virtual embarg'

CECIL IS WIFE ASKS
5000 A MONTH

An allowance of 5000 month here
tofore made by the Boyle county
circuit court at Danville having been
stopped by decision of the Court Of
Appeals, says the Louisville Times
Mrs. Rebecca Il. Cecil made Il motion
before Judge Wallace, Thursday, that
she be given similar allowance by
an order of this court during pcnden-
cy of an action for divorce filed by
her husband, James G. Cecil, Of Dan
vile, recent candidate for Commits
sioner of Agriculture.
James Garnett, attorney for Mrs
Cecil, said that when the domest; C
troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil fir
arose in Danville several years ago
the judge there appointed receiver
for MelrOse Farm, famous breeding
establishment owned by Mr.. Cecil,
and ordered the receiver to pay Mrs
Cecil 5000 month. Mrs. Cecil g
feated the divorce action in the Boyle
circuit court and later the Court Of
Appeals held that the receiver for the
farm should not have been appointed,
thereby stopping the allowance.
Before the Appellate Court decided
the case Mrs. Cecil moved to Louis
vile with two children and Cecil sub
sequently filed another action in the
local court for a divorce on ground of
abandonment. Counsel said Cecil en-
joys and income from an estate of an
approximate value of $350,00O which
is tied up in trust fund. Judge
Shackelford Miller, attorney for Mrs.
Cecil, was given a copy of the affida-
Wit filed by Mrs. Cecil and will send it
to his client at Danville, and the case
was passed one week to await his
counter-affidavit.

something intervcneS to prevent it.
ArTaigncd before Judge G.. G. Mar
shall, he was granted Il continuance
To that date on motion of his counsel.
With it's motion the defense filed
an affidavit setting out that Prewitt
suffered from nervous breakdown;
that he has had no examining trial;
that on account of his illness it has
been impossible for him TO confer
with counsel; that all his property has
been levied on and because of that it
has been necessary to call upon his
friends in other parts of the state be-
fore he could secure counsel; that he
did not secure any counsel until Janu-
AIRY II, and no local counsel until
january "a, and that the attorneys
had not had sufficient time to prepare
a proper defense.
Sheriff Roberts said that Prcwitt
seemed highly nervous on the journey
to Shelbyville from Louisville. His
only comment, the sheriff said, was to
say that he chad to do what he did
and only wanted justice" There was
