Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HERALD,

Washington, ID. O., May 10.
The amendment to the Emergency
Tariff bill. offered by Senator Knox
(Pa.). to continue war control over tho
American dye industry will be adopted
tomorrow when the Senate votes. ac-
cording TO Republican leaders.
1t was predicted that the bill will pass

fore, It was said will vote for 1t now.
Senators Moses and Keyes IN. H.)
are counted as being against 1t. 1t was
stated that the several Democratic Sen

Debate on the measure to-day includ-
ed an explanation from Senator Edge as
to his change In position and attacks
on the bill by Senators Reed (Mo.), and

fraud" upon the farmers, Sham" and
an insult to the intelligence of the
farmers" for whom it is passed pri-
marily. Senator Gooding (Idaho), In
his maiden speech, announced that he
would vote for the bill because of the
aid 1t will give to live stock.

HUNT TESTIFIES
IN BERGDOLL CASE
Commandant Whitewashed by
COurt-Martial, Charges
Kentucky Inquisitor.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The charge
that Col. John E. Hunt. former Com
mandant at the disciplinary barracks
at Governors Island. was ''whitewashed"
by a courtmarrial resulting from his al
legged failure to take proper precau-
tions to prevent the escape OF G. 9.
Bergdoll. Philadelphia draft dodger. was
made late to-day at the end OF a long
session of the House investigating com
mittee.
Called before the committee TO tell
what precautions he had taken to safe
guard Bergdoll while on gold hunting
expedition to the Maryland mountains.
Col Hunt had been on the stand for
nearly Ave hours when he was taken In
hand by Representative Johnson (Ky),
Democrat, for cross examination.
Some Of the questions put to the wit
ness were extremely blunt and of
personal nature. Then, after asking
for yes or no answer whether he had
been given fair trial. and whether he
had been aggressivey prosecuted, Mr.
Johnson proceeded to quote from the
courtmartial records certain statements
by the prosecuting officer directed at
the good standing OF the accused.
EXTRACTS from the JudgeAdvocate' S
ADDRESS quoted Dy mr. Johnson set IOTLn
that the prosecution did not think or
intimate that Col. Hunt wanted Bergdoll
TO escape or was in any conspiracy to
that end, and that it was realized Hunt
was "the sorriest of all' that the pris-
oner go away.
Sympathy was expressed by the prose-
cutor for the Colonel, now retired, and
1t was mentioned that he had made "a
magnificent record as an officer" but
that this was not the question at issue
and that there had been a technical
violation OF military regulations in a
way to bring discredit upon the army.
Col. Hunt, recently recovered from
long Illness, took no part in the discus
sion. In the course Of his examination
he described plans for Bergdoll to leave
under military guard for Hagerstown in
search of the buried gold, and declared
no officer was available at the time and
that he had the utmost confidence In
Sergeant O'Hare. who was directly re-
sponsible for the safe return of the
prisoner.
Asked by Chairman Peters IL the es-
cape was due to his own fault or to the
incompetency of the guard, Hunt denied
he was responsible for the mans escape,
and added that he did not want to char
acterize the conduct OF the sergeant as
dereliction Of duty.
