we view with the most hopeful

world disarmament. The need was
never greater and no US more
worthy of the most ardent %endeavOrs

The United States, through the sacri-
fees of the Civil War, struck the
shackles from a million slaves. Lin
coin became the Great EmancipatOr.
Despite the great war the world
still remains downcast and distressed,
in irons of m~ilitarism. Now we need
a World Emancipator-to strike from
the hundreds of millions the CALLING

the brotherhood of man throughout
the whole world become established"

Wealthy Texas Oil Man Is Killed On
 Fort Worth Street

FORT WORTH, Tex, May g. Warren Wagner, 45 years old, a wealthy oil operator and supply man, died tonight from gunshot wounds received late today. Fred J. Holmes, oil operator, surrendered to Sheriff Smith immediately after the shooting. Following Wagner's death. he was re- leased on bond of $10,000, charged with murder. Business disagree ments are given as the cause of the trouble.
 Wagner was shot while he was walking on a downtown street. Four shots were fired, three taking effect. Wagner fell on his face, not seeing the man who fired, but before he died he gave the names of three men who he said might have attacked him, including the mention of Holmes. He died, however, without knowing who fired at him.
 Wagner was head of the Wagner Supply company, director of several oil field banks. and had been one of the best known oil operators in the mid continent and north Texas fields. He drilled the first big gush- CT in the Desdemona field, the well coming in for 10000 barrels and mak- ing a fortune for Wagner and his as- sistants.

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

SAN FRANCISCO, May g. One mana bystander-waS shot and five men were beaten here today in water front rioting arising from the marine workers strike.
 The trouble began when a crowd estimated at 200 broke through a po- lice guard and boarded the shipping board steamer Bakersfield. Three of the ships crew were beaten badly. The crowd dispersed upon learning that police reserves had been sum- monned.
 Later Thomas Colleen. chauffeur for the Matson Navigation company. was attacked by a crowd of men who declared Colleen's passengers were non union men on their way to ships. Colleen fired his revolver twice. One shot struck Frank Wilson, who was sitting in a barber shop having his hair cut. The other shot perforated the trousers of a man who was standing on the curb.
 Colleen was arrested on the charge of discharging firearms.
 The Pacific-American Steamship association, composed of steamer owners, stated they had obtained af- fidavits from two members of the Bakersfield's crew that previous to today they had been followed and beaten by men who said they were union pickets. The association also announced that it's members had de- cided to lay their vessels up pending settlement of the differences.
 Only|one American steamer cleared Isleta for Philadelphia. Her crew had been signed prior to May 1 under the former wage scale and conditions, il was announced

ASHURST QUITS DEMOCRATS IN
 TARIFF F|GHT I
IRepub.ican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, May g. - Party lines were broken in the senate dur ing debate on the emergency tariff bill today, Senator Moses. Repubi- can of New Hampshire, delivering a scatching denunciation of it and Senator Ashurst, Democrat of Ar1- zona, warning his colleagues not to let ''the folks back home" learn they stood for free trade
 Senator Moses charged that great lobby was pressing for passage and attacked the leadership of his party for its part in seeking to enact such legislation. IL was not re- publican measure, he said, and had no support from the White House insofar as 1t proposed to continue war time restrictions on importations of dye.
 Senator Ashurst said Democrats had lost elections in the past on the issue of free trade and the day had come when the rights of the agricui- turists must be given equal consid- eration with those of the manufac- turers.
 MT. Moses drive against the lobby which he said, was the largest, most highly organized. best paid and most arrogant of any this capitol has seen," brought rejoinder from Sen ator Knox, Republican of Pennsylva- mia. who sponsored the amendment restricting dye importations. NIT. Knox argued that the senator's atu- tude was not based on the views or future needs of the government in time of war.
 MT. Moses submitted what he de- scribed as statement of expendl- = lures by the American Dyes Institute covering, he said. it's activities in be- half of the tariff bill with its dye amendment These alleged expendi- lures. he said, totaled approximately S104, 900.
 The Du Pont interests also were brought in by MT. Moses as support CTS of the dye institute. They were represented, he said, by NJ. R. Pouch CT. whom he described as enjoying a large measure of control over the dyestuff industry in the United States.
 Recalling that he had opposed the bill in the previous congress, MT. Moses said he had hoped when its reconsideration was begun by the senate finance committee that he would be able ito swallow 1t. even though holding my nose while voting for it." Its appearance, however, did not justify his hopes. he said.

lHepuDilCdn "A r. GcdSSu NShS1
 WASHINGTON, May 9.-Pro- posals looking to naval disarmament will be pressed in the senate, not withstanding the expressed wish of President Harding that congress take no action at present, Senator Borah, republican of Idaho, announced in a statement tonight. At the same time, he said, there was no intention of interfering with the executive auth crity.
 President Harding has indicated he would prefer to have the subject taken up by Ambassador Harvey as his personal representative before the allied supreme council, when the in- ternational situation is such as to warrant the calling of conference of powers.
 Senator Borah, however, has in troduced a resolution requesting the president to call Great Britain, Japan and the United States together to dis cuss disarmament and will press for action when the naval appropriation bill is considered in the senate.
 Disarmament. he said, is primarily a question of taxation, a subject ex- clusively given to congress.
 We have no intention of interfer- ing with the executive authority" he continued. We simply propose to urge the only plan by which it is pos sible for congress to reduce these fearful burdens which are ruining the people"
 Senator Borah referred to the let ter of Secretary Mellon which said the present rate of government ex- penditures was disastrous.
 ''He has further advised us," the senator said, that there is no way to reduce our tax burdens except by a cut in the army and navy appro- priations. This makes the proposi- tion simple and particularly matter for congress to determine.
 Tt is nothing less than a crime against humanity that the three great nations associated in the late war should be taxing their people to death and driving on toward bank ruptcy at double rate to build up fighting forces never before heard of. Certainly someone ought to be will ing to call halt, and if congress, the taxing power, the war making powlf, and the responsible power to the people, is unwilling to do any thing, it would look as if the scheme has broken down.
 There seem to be those who think there is no haste. Well, I have an idea that the taxpayers think that relief cannot come too soon.''
