DEMOCRATS IN SENATE
 FIGHT ANTI-DUMPING BILL

Washington. May 5.-Democratic lead CTS in the senate continued their attack on the emergency tariff and anti-dumping bill today, although friends of the meas ure. headed by Chairman Penrose of the finance committee, fought them at every point. MT. Penrose delivered an hours speech, his first extended remarks in nearly two years, in support of the meas ure.
 Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, charged the republicans with attempting to transfer "a lot of commodi- ties from the free to the dutiable list" by use of the anti-dumping clause and ar sued that those provisions were certain to prove a handicap instead of a relief to agriculture
 The senator referred to the anti-dunp- ing provisions later as making the manu- featuring interests beneficiaries of the blII. He said he saw no reason for in- serting anti-dumping provisions unless somebody was going to be benefited, since Senator McCumber, republican North Da- kota, had informed the senate that the provisions would do little good and could do no harm"
 MT simmons predicted a clash between | the senate and the house when the measure goes to conference. Republican 1 leaders in tfe house, he said. were welded to tlie anti-dumping and curen. cy conversion plans carried in the bill as 1 passed by the house. but stricken out by committee in the senate, and he added that he believed the house would compeI the senate to write them in the bill again
 MT. Penrose's speech was given over largely to explanations of technical pro. visions of the bill, although he submit ted estimates of government actua rie, showing that tariff items in the bill would produce approximately s1O5 ,O0O.0 .00O in tht six months the law would be effective. H, added that the amount was $45. .OOe .OoC larger than the revenue received from tn. same sources under the present tariff laws.
 The senate recessed tonight in ordeI that debate on the tariff measure mieh be taken up by priority when the senat, conVenes tomorrow. Mir Penrose said h.
 would then attempt to reach az definit,
 agreement with opponents of the bill fo
 a day and hour for final vote.

DIFFICULTIES IN PREPARING
 THE DRAFT DESERTER LIST

Washington, May Tn connection with the publica tion in New York today of one of the stacker lists. the war de- partment's attention Twas immediately called, the adjutant general announced, to what appeared to be an error work ing 2. great injustice on a soldier with a highly honorable war record. The list contained the name of Benjamin Kaufman, who gave 1S5 Kosciuko street Brooklyn, as his address at the time of the draft and who failed to report for service.
 As soon as the list became public the department was advised that a Brook lyn man of exactly this name, not only served in France, but won the medal of honor and promotion to a first sergean- cy for conspicuous bravery in battle.
 Investigation showed, the war depart ment announced. that there were two Brooklyn men of exactly the same name and both registered for the draft on the same day, who were within four months of being the same age who were inducted into the service within four days of each other. The records showed, how ever that the medal of honor man was born in Buffalo. N. r., and the all leged deserter in Russia.
 To Illustrate the difficulties encounter cd in preparing the draft deserter list Adjutant General Harris asserted that the war department records showed 1.S3S men in the army during the war bearing the name of Kaufman, spelled eleven diff ferent ways. Sixteen bore the first name Benjamin, nine of whom spell both names exactly as the two soldiers in to- days tangle
 The war department also made public the text of the recent opinion by At torney General Daugherty, as to whether any liability would attach to the gov ernment, war department officials or of ] fcials concerned with the selective draf in event of errors in the published lis | of draft evaders. After referring a | length to supreme court decisions tn | attorney general said he was of tn, | opinion that no liability would attach t | the government and that the proposed | publication being within the scope O | the authority of the secretary of wa l in administering the military law, base | on public records made in the course o | official duty, Is privileged and no liabil | ity would attach tothe secretary of war | his subordinates, or the former selwec ! tive draft officials"

 We have in the United States no such thing as a melting pot. no such thing as assimilation of all these races as a common stock" Dr. Eliot said. There never has been; there never will be.
 Those who have eyes may see here an example for the whole world; many races living apart, but together, though different in harmony; and more and more acquiring the common ideals of liberty and law.
 Let that be your picture of the world hereafter the nations living side by side. just like the states of our Union. It will be federation of states, uneven in size, but united people composed of different racial elements in great va riety."

Hopeful Sign For
 Peace in Ireland
Meeting of Sir James Craig
 and Professor De Valera Re- garded of Great Importance.

Dublin May CBy the A. P).-The meeting of Sir James Craig and Pro1es- sor De Valera today is regarded here as of great importance, in view of Professor De Valera's proclamation to the 1rlsn people early this week, in which he re- ferred to provision for such devolution Tn the administration of home affairs as to make for satisfaction and contentment. Sir James a few days ago expressed wish to meet the republican leader.
 The belief prevails that the object of the conference was an endeayor on the part of Sir James to secure from De Valera an explicit interpretation of this phrase in De Yalera's proclamation.
 The departure of Viscount FitzAlan, lord lieutenant and governor general of Ireland, for London is supposed to have a bearing on peace negotiations.
 The announcement that Sir James had interviews with both Viceroy FitzAlan and De Valesa has created the greatest interest here. They are being especially connected wit hthe reports of the Earl of Derbys interview with De Valera and Sir James Craig's call for special meeting of the unionist party in Belfast tomorrow.
 The conference between Sir James and De Valera is regarded as most hopeful | sign for peace. It is said to involve or De Valera's part no necessary change ir attitude, for the Sim Feiners always have asserted their willingness to meet any Irishman.
 In political quarters here today it wa: declared that the latest move of Sir Crais | required courage, as it was asserted | that he has a critical situation to face and that the elections in the north ma! provoke cross currents and differences from the extreme Protestants, as well a 1 from the prohibitionists and others in tn | jurry over conventional reforms. Sine assuming responsibility for the future O | the Ulster government, it was said Si James had realized the value of assist ance in the south and, while determine
 to maintain separate the rights of tn north he was anxious to secure an agree ment for the mana cement by the centra council of matters common to all Ireland | Political leaders asserted that the mai difficulty between Sir James and D
 Valera was that Sir James favored start
 ing with home rule and advancing after
 wards to common action. while De Valer
 desired to start with unity but was vii
 ing to accArd the north of Ireland a
 necessary decolution.
 | There is reason here for the belief ths
 counsellors on both sides of the contrC
 versy have been consulted. The attitud
 of the government appears to be in fave
 of any move for peace between the nort
 and south of Ireland and willing to maL
 any notifications in the home rule a,
 upon which the north and the south ca
 agree.

Democratic Leaders in Senate Attack Tariff and Anti Dumping Bill.

Washington, May 5.-The budget bill was passed today by the house, but with some changes as adopted by the senate. It now goes to conference. The vote was 344 to g.
 The bill as passed by the senate pro- yided for creation of a budget bureau in the treasury department with both it's director and his assistant to be appointed by the president. The house retained the senate method of, appointing both officials but voted to make the bureau independent of the treasury department
 Provision is made for abolishment of the office of comptroller of the treasury and creation in it's place of a comptroller general, to be selected by the president. The measure as approved by the senate provided for seven-year term for the comptroller general and made him subject to removal by joint congressional resolu- -tion Which requires the signature of the president. .,-.g
 As passed by the house, however, the bill provides for. his removal by concur rent resolution which does not require the presidents signature. .
 In vetoing the budget bill passed by the last congress, President Wilson ob- jected to the provision delegating to con- sress the power to remove the comptroller general on the ground that it would be usurpation of executive authority.
