Is 1t possible that genial. self-poised. courteous gentleman occupying this high place could 50 far forget his self in his desperate attempt to shield a man who dares not shield his self, to speak for man who dares not speak for his self7
 will the President In his despera- ton, finding no other who dare to say word for this discredited ofi- cial. denounce senators as black guards who criticized the nefarious and crooked operations of political broker who makes 1t a business. 1t is charged. at least. to deceive the chief magistrate of the United States in order that men may despoil wom- en in time of peace and plunder the treasury in time of war;

OLD RECIPROCITY
 ISSUE CROPS OUT
 IN TARIFF DEBATE
Senator Underwood Protests Against Building Wall Along Canadian Border to Pre-
 vent Free Trade
By Associatsd Press

Washington, Juno 3.-A battle be- tween republicans and democrats over the old issue of Canadian rect procity and restoration to the free list of two important building ma terials, common brick and cement. featured today's Senate consideration of the tariff bill.
 Brick and cement went on the free list after recent democratic attacks on duties originally proposed, with a proviso offered by Chairman Me- Cumber and admittedly aimed at Canadian brick and cement, that Im- ports into this country should pay a tariff equal to that levied against American brick and cement by other countries. Senator McCumber said the proviso was designed to protect a few brick and cement manufactu- rers along the Canadian border.
 Reciprocity Dead
 During the debate, Senator McCum- Der declared that general Canadian reciprocity was "a dead letter and he had SO informed representative of the Canadian government"
 Senator Underwood, democrat, Ala bama. on the other hand. advocated free trade with Canada. by removal of all barrier of commerce" and said the republicans. by refusing to put the Canadian general reciprocity law into effect were responsible for high Canadian tariffs and resultant loss of trade.
 Mir. Underwood declared that Can Adian sentiment had changed since a popular vote rejected the Taft reci- procfty treaty and now he said the Canadians would be glad to enter into q new pact.
 Opposing the retaliatory proviso. Senator Stanley. democrat. Kentucky. protested against what he said was policy of retaliation against Can ada. outlined in the bill. He de- ciared that the attempt to rnilH ID . tariff wall along the Canadian boR- der was . '.gratuitous r.ap in ti. seSs of Canada" and was "ths most inde- fensibls. most unwise and the small- est piece of politics ever played by intelligent legislators"

The action was taken by vote of 12 to 9, in executive session, and was inter- preted by committeeman generally as being in effect, but the prelimi- nary skirmish to what promises to become bitterly contested battle be- tween the proponents and opponents of the Ford offer in the House.

 of the Detroit manufactures, up-
 on new language regulating the
 manufacture of fertilizers. In all
 other respects the Ford offer
 was fully approved.
 MT. Mayo declared when advised of the committee action that despite elimination of the Gorgas plant he regarded the results announced as a decisive victory for MT. Ford and that more determined effort than ever before now would be made to obtain the properties. To agree upon every detail involved In the negotiar ton, except one, was distinct achievement. Mir. Mayo added. par ticularly since the discussions had been extended over so long period more than a year since they were first begun at the war department.

By HUGH ". ROBERTS

800 Davidson Building.
 Washington, June 3.-(Special.) ) Representative Wright of Georgia, member of the House committee on military affairs, today introduced a bill providing for acceptance by Con- gress of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals.
 The committee today favorably reported the Ford offer with an amendment eliminating the Gorgas steam plant, partly owned by the Alabama Power company and on the governments half of which that company has an option to purchase. AS Ford had previously declared that the elimination of Cor gas would constitute a rejection of his offer. the committees action was tantamount to rejection.
 At the same time. 1t is definitely known that the Ford offer as origi- nally submitted will be voted upon by the House, The monority mem bers, including Mir. Wright will draft a minority report. or that report, the Wright bill. is introduced to- day, will comprise the gist. The dif- ferences respecting quantitative pro- duction of fertilizer were ironed out their original proposition as to satisfy the members that Ford was sincere in his promises to pro- duce large quantities of fertilizer tor sale at reduced prices.
 Vote Is Q to IF
 The vote of the committee in favor of eliminating Gorgas from the list of properties to be surrend- cred to Ford was 12 to g. The com report. it Is anticipated, will be submitted to the House the end of next week. It cannot be fortold when the House will take action. It Is believed. however, that the battle In the House will be battle royal of doubtful Issue. Representative Wright, however, predicted today that the minority report will prevail, and that the House will vote to sur render Gorgas in accordance with Ford's demands rather than reject the offer.
