LIVELY FIGHT ON
 WOOL TARIFF RATE
 HELD IN SENATE
Senator Lodge Delivers Set Speech, Urging Schedules Should Carry Duties for
 Cheaper Wools
nr rAasnniatnd Prnnn

Washington, July 25.-There was another lively fight today in the Senate over the Lenroot pro- posal to reduce the duties on coarse wool and manufactures thereof, but again the issue failed to come to a vote. The first test of strength was expected tomorrow with opponents of the amendment apparently confi- dent of victory. They had made an , informal canvass and expected to draw enough strength from the democratic side to offset the votes cast for the proposal by republicans. Senators Wadsworth of New York, and Kellogg. Minnesota, republicans, entered the fight actively today for the I.enroot amendment. which also was indorsed by Senator Walsh. Massachusetts and other democratic speakers. Arguments against the proposal were presented by Senators Shoot, Utah, Gooding of Idaho, and Willis, Ohio. republicans. who reit- erated tho contention that 1t was not workable. This was disputed by Lenroot.
 Lodges Set Speech. In prepared address. stressing the importance of tho wool industry. Senator Lodge said it had seemed to him that the prices might have been adjusted so that there could have been an allowance for the cheaper wools. Ho added, however. that the main object must be an effi- cient schedule and one which will maintain the industry"
 The Massachusetts senator said those senators representing manu- facturing states must make up their minds that the well being of che wool grower was fully as important to them as the well being of the manufactured.
 Senator Lodge told the senate tariff duties alone would not be sufficient to stimulate the growth of the wool growing industry and that he hoped to see, both state and nation take steps to develop that industry and { encourage the farmers to restore the small fiocks, which, Ire declared must in the end be of the constant and most trustworthy source of supply.
 aGInring Errors"
 Senator Wadsworth warned sena- tors interested in the agricultural l rates, the bill against some "glaring errors" in the tariff that would create a revulsIon of feeling among the millions not engaged in agricul- ture which would result in the de- structioa of the whole set of agricul- tural duties.
 Attacking the Lenroot proposal, Mir. Wills charged that there was intensive propaganda against the wool schedule.
 Senator Shoot said he had worked for hours trying to frame some plan by which the Lenroot proposal could be put into operation but had been unsuccessful.
 Rise in Prices. Mir. Shoot declared that when tweeds and cheviots again came into style and ne predicted that they would soon, the prices of coarse wool would come up from what he termed present abnormally low lev els and that when the equivalent ad valorem duties on it would be much lower than now when based on present prices.

 Indianapolis, Ind, July 25.--CaIl- ing of special session of the legis- lature to repeal the miners quaIifi- cation law and to enact such other legislation as may be necessary in the coal strike situation. has been suggested to Governor MeCary. it vas learned tonight. This step, 1t was said. would follow the failure of attempts by the governor to bring about state conference to adjust differences between miners and operators in Indiana.
 Richmond.

''.lLDRED BREWER ID BE EXAMINED IN
 SECRET SESSION
Great Surprise GreetS Decree of Judge Holloway of Juven- iIe Court. Who Will Con-
 duct HearingT oday
By FRED H. eoRMLEy

Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Heraid,
 2sI-2 First National Bank Building Montgomery, July 25.--tspe-
 cfnI.)--Announeem of J. Lee
 Holloway, judge of the Mont-
 Komery county juvenile court, to-
 day that the examination of afii-
 drcd Willis Brewer, seif-cen-
 fessed slayer of Portis Me-
 Kelthen, her cousin's husband.
 will be conducted behind closed
 doors nf 3 o'clock Wednesday
 afternoon created great surprise
 in MOntgofhery today.
 Judge Holloway acted under The discretionary authority conferred up- on him by the juvenile court law in handling general cases where chil- dren are accused of being dependent neglected or delinquent and where the certainty of the children's ages has been established The surprise was caused because the law. accord inE to the most general interpre- tation, never intended that any eN- animation of case alleging murder should be behind closed doors.
 Similar Cases
 The supreme court not many months ago reversed case from Jefferson county because the trlal judge excluded a portion of the pub lie from the court room. The court of appeals followed the supreme court by holding that another per son was not tried in accordance with the constitution because the rights of the public were taken away.
 rr-s- AE..s. that the authority of the judge 10 ing regarding the dependency or de- Iinquency of children was never in- tended to cover case where per son whose age is in dispute was ac- cused of the greatest crime recog- nized by law.
 Judge Holloway Is seeking to exer- else an authority conferred by sec ton II of the special juvenile court act for Montgomery county which was enacted in 1920. This section says: Said court shall have power upon the hearing of any such case involving any child to exclude the general public from the room when said hearing is held, but 1t shall ad- mt thereto all such persons as may have a direct interest in the case,'s
 Those who were instrumental in the enactment of the juvenile court set contend that 1t yer has in |. tended that this court should be used as shield behind which any person of disputed age might hide and thus prevent the public from ob- taining information regarding the evidence which was held by the Jaw officers of the state to warrant n charge of murder in the first degree or any other felony recognized by the law of Alabama.
