SENATE ADOPTS AMENDMENTS 4
 TO TARIFF BILL
IRepubllean A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-The senate made progress in it's consideration of the Fordney emergency tariff bill to- day and when the session ended, it had adopted four of the nine remaining amendments recommended by its fi- nance committee.
 Senator McCumber, Republican, North Dakota, in charge of the bill, said prospects were good for vote tomorrow. When it became apparent that final action could not be had to- night, Mir. McCumber sought to con- clude consideration of all committee amendments. This plan suffered de- feat.
 Among amendments accepted was the substitute sugar schedule proposed by Senator Shoot, Republican, Utah. The amendment would place the tariff at one cent per pound in addition to the present duty of the same amount. Other amendments adopted would | provide rates as follows
 Butter and butter substitutes, eight cents per pound; cheese and cheese substitutes, 23 per cent ad valorem; fresh milk, two cents per gallon and cream five cents per gallon.
 Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, alone voted against the Smoot sug ar duty, while 67 were recorded for it. In | Joining with supporters of the bill to put over the sugar amendment, Dem ocratic opponents claimed to have won a point. whiola, it was said, will even tually cause trouble for the measure s l proponents. The near-unanimous votes 1t was declared, will force the senate conference committee to hold out to the end against house conferees. The house refused three times to add sugar to the commodities for which protec- tion was afforded.
 | Trite arguments and acrimonious charges as fel as logic characterized the debate. Senator Williams, Demo Icrat, Mississippi, held the attention oi
 70 senators for more than an hour il
 an attack on the tariff bill tha
 sparkled with wit, sarcasm and sin cerity. Seldom, if ever, have as many
 senators sat as today, unmindful O
 other matters, to listen to a speech. Th'
 senator charged proponents of thu
 emerg ency tariff with seeking to leg,5 late money out of the pockets of tn, public into the pockets of those bene fitted. He declared that the tariff pro visions on sugar were such as to lnal1' any industry profitable, and added:
 T can raise bananas in New Jersey
 if you will give me tariff. I'd sei
 them for a dollar a banana. Tba would be profitable if the tariff wa
 high enough"
 Senator Williams, as he waded deep
 CT and deeper into the argument tagainst the measure, also moved acros the aisle to where Senator Shoot sat Mir. Smoot finally gave way and in tn
 place from which the senate man, times has heard preached the doctrine
 of high tariff there was delivered al
 argument opposed. It caused a roar O
 laughter, but did not disturb tn
 speaker.
