take the negative.
The debate is being held in the aft

affirmative side Of the question. CoIum-
bia will support the negative in the de.
bate against Kirksville and, according TO

SEES GERMAN GAIN
IN RAZOR TARIFF
I'VE Must Put i'm Rates to
Keep Out Competition,
Simmons Declares.

WASHINGTON. June 10.-Assertions
that many OF the rates proposed in the
tariff bill would prohibit imports of
affected commodities from every country
except Germany were reiterated to-day
in the Senate by Democratic opponents
to the measure during debate on duties
on razors. gold .eaf and other articles.
Rates on razors ranging up to an equiv
alent of approximately 400 per cent. ad
valorem were approved.
Senator Simmons IN. CO.. Democratic
leader in the tariff fight, said: The
idea permeats the whole bill we must
put in rates to keep out German prod
ucts without any consideration of the
effect they will have on our trade with
other countries"
Arguing that II the situation as to
Germany was such as proponents OF
the tariff bill claimed. Senator Jones
Dem. n. M said the condition abroad
resulting from a greatly deprecated
currency could not be taken care of by
general tariff rates. He added tha,
many of the duties proposed by the
Finance Committee majority would
prove to be ''an embargo against Eng
land and the other countries"
Congress Is following will O. wisr
with this tariff BILL he said.

BEARING THEIR LOSSES
Banton's Inquiry Handi-

His Witnesses.
BIG BUCKETEERs SOUGHT
Schneider Looks for Master
Minds Who May Have Had
Chain BrOkerages.

Apparently from events yesterday at
the District Attorneys office, 1t may
not be easy for District Attorney Ban
ton and his assistant, Benjamin
Schneider, to obtain quickly the evil
dence they desire in order to present
to the Grand Jury the case OF the
possible wrongdoing in the firm OF
E. D. DER & Co.. bankrupt stock
brokerage.
Thirty former customers of DER &
Co., some Of them heavy losers
through the firms failure, appeared
at the Criminal Courts Building to be
questioned by Mr.. Schneider.
It soon developed that notwitE-
standing their losses, many of the
men and women were exceedingly
loath to give real aid to the District
Attorney. Some of them said fatty
that they would prefer not to appear
in any way in connection with crimi-
nal prosecution.
One Of the women who appeared told
Mr.. Schreiber that she had played the
market through Dier & CO. and had lost
money, but that her husband had never
known she was debbling in stocks. She
feared to testify before the Grand Jury
as she did not want her husband to
know what she had been doing.
There also were some business men
who said they would rather stand their
losses and say nothing than to have
their business credit possibly impaired
by letting 1t be known they had not
only gambled in the market, but had
exercised exceedingly poor Judgment in
their choice of brokers. Some of the
smaller investors who lost said they
preferred not to have their names ap-
pear on what would unquestionably be
regarded as sucker" list.
About 100 of Der's former customers
have been summoned, the names being
taken from the DER books to which
the District Attorney has access. Ten
witnesses were questioned in the first
hour by Mr.. Schreiber. Thomas J. w.
Geraty and John Markey, special as
distant to Mr., Schneider.
