House Democrats
to Fight Emergency
Tariff, Anti-Dumping

Washington, April 13-HouSe Dem
ocrats bound themselves through eau
Gus action today to stand against the
emergency tariff and the anti-dump-
ing bill. and Representative Kitchen,
minority leader made public simulta-
neously a statement of views of mi
nority members of the ways and
means committee bitterly assailing
the Republican temporary tariff pro-
gram. Shard differences arose in the
caucus on the question of instructing
Democratic members to vote unre-
servedly against the emergency mea-
sure, but it finally was carried by
vote of II to %.
After the caucus. Mr.. Kitchen pre-
dicted that less than a dozen DEM
ocratic votes will be cast for the
young bill"
In the minority report, the Repub-
licans are accused of tossing into the
lap of three great trusts, the pack
ers, the sugar trust and the wooden
trust, $775, 100000 year." and of seek
ing to disbar any future trade with
the central powers and smaller states
dangerous JOKER" indirecting the sec
rotary of the treasury to fix the value
of foreign money, as basis for levy
ing duties on imports.
The present bill is characterized as
even worse than its predecessor, the
Fordney measure, by the report,
which assrts that if any advantage
will inure anywhere from the new
proposal. it will be ito the trusts,
spectators and profiteers." It also
calls attention to provisions of the
Republican national platform and in
quires whether "any honest Republi-
can can sincerely vote for this bill in
the belief that it will reduce the cost
Of living"
Figures are presented purporting
to show that the actual increase in
living costs resulting from enactment
of such law would be about ST.
600, 100000 year. The statement says
that the bill would hand a "gratuity''
of $125,000.00O annually to the sugar
trust" $550,000,000 annually to the
meat and beef trust, the packers"
and more than 500, 200, 900 a year to
the income of the fwoolen trust"
In conclusion, the report charges
Republican leaders with having be-
trayed the consumers of the East and
at the same time breaking faith with
the farmers Of the west.

jectiOns in 1917

Washington, April 13-Ratifcation
of the s25.0OO.000 Colombian treaty
would not be keeping faith with Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Senator Kellogg, Re-
publican. Minnesota, declared today
in opening debate for those opposing
the pact in the Senate.
Acceptance of it, even as amended,
Senator Kellogg asserted, would be a
'pusillanimous act" and "a shadow
on the brightest page of the history
of American accomplishments
The Minnesota senator reviewed in
detail the part played by the United
States under President Roosevelt in
the events that attended the revolt
of Panama from Colombia, and quot
cd a message he received in 1917 from
Mr.. Roosevelt, saying that ratifica-
ton of this Infamous treaty" would
set dangerous precedent.
ut makes precedent" Mr.. Roose-
welt was quoted as saying. for some
successor of Wilson to pay at least
as large a sum apiece to Costa Rica,
Nicaragua Hayti and Santo Domin-
go for what has been done to them
recently and also to Chile for our in
solent and improper treatment of her
in connection With the Alsop claims. Z"
Senator Kellogg also placed in the
record a letter written by Colonel
Roosevelt in 1917, in which the for
mer president declared the "crux of
the matter is as to whether we ought,
or ought not to have recognized PAN
anna"
"If we did badly" Mr.. Roosevelt
wrote in reference to Panama's recog-
milton, I'VE are in honor bound now to
restore both Panama and the Canal
Zone TO the bandits from whom they
were then severed.
Mere payment of blackmail is not
enough. OF course, no smallest par
ticle of evidence to show that we en-
gineered the revolution can be pro-
duced, because our every action was
open and has been set forth scores of
times in minute detail. No revolu-
ton was ever more justified than that
of Panama against Colombia and had
not acted precisely as I did. there
would row be no canal"
Senator Kellogg called attention
to the objections raised to the treaty
by Senate Republicans when it was
up for consideration in 1917. and de-
MED that the portions then found OBJ
jectionable, had been eliminated.

Impossible to Continue Under
Present Con ditiOns An

New York, April Determination Of
some of the less important passen-
ger trains on the New Haven and
Central New England lines or the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, effective April "a, was an
nounced here today.
'Impossibility of continuing under
present conditions of revenues and
expenses" was given as the reason.
In explaining deficits (which the
company claimed these roads have
suffered, the announcement declared
that during 1917 and the two proceed
ing years, 1.-The net income or the
amount in excess OF all charges eX-
Guiding dividends Appropriated S4,-
60O,O 900 per annum. During 1913, on
the contrary, there would have been
a corporate deficit of SS,000.000 and
during 1919 of sS,900,000, if the roads
had not been operated by the federal
government and deficits paid by the
federal treasury. Excluding federal
payments, the defect for the year 1920
was $50, 100, 900"
Deficits for the several recent
months" said the announcement,
have been: September, 1920, S7S3,-
1854; October, $1,257,4S7; November,
s166S,O95; December, S2,S5O,695;

ruary, $2,S70,499.
During the past several weeks.
the shops making heavy repairs on
locomotives and on passenger ana
freight cars have been closed This
can not be continued indefinitely and
is an extremity in reduction caused
by lack of funds. which has never
been necessary heretofore.
1.-THE situation has been presented
from time to time to the authorities
representing the public and recently
to the governors of the New England
states. without additional revenues
through increased divisions or other
wise, it is necessary to proceed still
further in a drastic reduction of eX-
penSes,"
The statement issued by the road
officials did not indicate what chang
es in schedule would take place, but
asserted that the most important
service will not be reduced.
The passenger department Will fur-
nish agents and the public with in
formation in regard to the changes as
rapidly as the new train schedules
can be completed, the officials said.

Menacing Crowd
of Jobless Quoted
with Promise of Meal

st. Johns, N. F., April 13.-It took
the promise of a free supper, at the
expense Of Sir Michael Gashin, lead
er of the opposition party, to quiet a
crowd of unemployed persons whose
demonstration today in the galleries
of the legislative assembly chamber
forced Speaker Penny to adjourn the
session.
Sir Michael's criticism of the gov
ernment's policy of fisheries control,
to which he attributed depression in
the colony, brought such sustained
applause from the galleries that
Speaker Penny after vain attempts
to obtain order was forced to declare
the session adjourned.
When the legislators. rose to go
they found the passage way so
crowded with the demonstrators that
the government members feared to
leave the chamber. The crowd gave
no evidence of leaving until Sir
Michael relieved, the tension by in
viting all to supper at his expense.
Then the demonstrators withdrew.
Later they got the supper.

OUT FOR A
 SIDEWALK, NORTH SIDE

A petition has been circulat-
 ed among the residents north of the track, asking the Santa Fe to construct cement side walk connecting the Santa Fe walk at the crossing on Second Street, with the street cross ing on Franklin Avenue, near Gilson's garage. The proposed walk would pass alongside the railroad right-of-way and hence would be constructed at the ex- pense. of the Santa Fe. This walk will give the residents north of Franklin Avenue bet ter access to the business part of town. It will also add to the attractiveness of the city and will create a much better inn pression in the minds of visit ors motoring in from the eact.
 Indications are that the San, ia Fe will act favorably upon the petition and that the walk will be constructed this spring.
