 ing of Nation
Rx Associated Pres.

 The President dwelt on the com pleteness with which the scars and the bitterness of the conflict had been erased from the minds and conduct of individuals who took part in the great struggle
 Roth Arnaies
 He instanced the pleasure that had come to him, in the dedication of the Lincoln memorial last Tuesday. to have before him in the great au- dience the representative of the ar mics of both sides, gathered alike to honor and dignify the occasion. It was fitting, the President concluded, that one standing in the portals of the great memorial building to the nations Civil war hero could see on one side the gray and the other the blue, massed alike In understanding tribute and loyal determination to preserve joint national heritage.
 As he finished. hIs audience thronged forward to the amphlthea- ire stage and the President shook hands with scores of the aged veter- ans and members of their class.

Senator Calder of New York Report That Action on Tariff Legislation Has
 Been Halted
By Associated rress

Washington June 4.-Tariff legis- lation will be passed at the present session of Congress if for no other reason than to stop peace profiteer- ing Senator Calder. republican. New York, declared today in reply to a current report that the pending tariff bill was to be sidetracked in the Sem ate. The country will be shown defi- nitely. he said, that "profiteering of today by importing interests makes war profiteering fade into insignifi- 
 The very interests which are to- day shouting so loudly against tariff legislation" MT. Calder said, "are the ones which are making from 100 to 2,000 per cent profit on merchandise purchased abroad and sold to the American consumers. Before the de- bate ends the country will have all the facts and 1t will then be evident how these reports originate that the tariff bill will not be passed
 Imports on Increase
 Much has been said recently about a decline in our importations and about all danger of dumping being passed. These statements are based upon a lack of authentic information. Today at the Port of New York, where 75 per cent of all goods im- ported into this country are ap- praised. the importations of foreign toys and cutlery are greater than ever before. These goods are com ing from Germany, where the retail selling price is infinitely less than the American cost of production.
 This competitive condition, where the foreign cost is far below the American manufacturing cost. pre- walls in many industrial lines throughout the country.
 Steps must be taken now to insure the early passage of this bill. In fact. the Senate finance committee has already taken such steps. There will be action and the bill will pass"

By Associated Press

Zurich, Switzerland. June Max Oser expressed indignation today over a current report that Mrs. liar old F. Mccormick had asserted that his purpose in marrying her daugh- ter. Mathilde, was to obtain her money. Oser declared that he had sufficient money for himself and his bride if they live simply. as he said they purposed to do; he had made a goodly sum out of the sale of his fashionable riding school, where he had 30 horses.
 He had not asked Harold F. McCor- mick. father of Mathilde, for any dowry, which is the usual Swiss cus- tom. Oser also denied a report that he had sought to marry another wealthy American girl prior to his engagement to Miss Mccormick. He had never proposed to or loved any girl until he met Miss Mccormick, he said, adding that his attitude had not been changed by the opposition that has been raised to his marriage to Mias Mccormick. On the con- trary, he was more determined than ever to marry her unless she re- fused him, which he said he believed to be improbable.
