newal Of the struggle over rates on
blackstrap molaSses.
It was the opinion Of Watson that the
fight over wool rates might be staged
this week, but others said it would
probably be deferred Senator La Fol-
lette, who is interested in the rates on
wool manufactures, thought this con-
troversy would be fought out at a later
stage. IA Toilette said, however, he
saw no reason why the bill should not
be passed by March 10.
In view of the recent newspaper
story that the President is against the
easternersn on the tariff and the dis
cusSion of such reports on the floor
of the Senate, there was keen interest
in Senate circles yesterday as to what
passed between the President and Wat
son or this score. It is understood the
subject was discussed, but Watson de-
clined to make any statement IN re-
gard to it.
Report Regulars Aroused.
It has been widely published recently
that Senator Grundy of Pennsylvania
Is aroused because Of the report the
President is against the fasteners"
and that he had copies made of a Kan
sas City Star article to this effect the
other day and circulated it among Re-
pubhcanS. In this connection, reports
have been going the rounds of the Cap
1tol lately that regular Republicans,
especially those from the industrial
States, were considerably aroused over
the matter.
Watson admitted he had gone over
the tariff situation with the President,
but declined to say anything as to what
position the President takes as to the
rates. He indicated that any state
ment on this would have to come from
the White House, and that it was pos
Slble there would be such a statement
in due time. One report was that reg
ulars had been treasured as TO the at
titude OF the President, but this was
not confirmed.
The probabilities are, according to
= me members Of the Senate, that the
President will not indicate his position
on rates at this time, but that once the
bill is in conference the President will
intervene with the conferees to smooth
out differences to expedite an agree
ment and to bring about legislation
which will be fairly satisfactory TO the
comntry
In this Intervention the President is
not expected to back up the coalition,
but TO take a stand which will harmo-
nlze with the views he expressed in his
message TO the extra session. He has
all along favored increases in agricul-
tural rates, with increases in industrial
rates only where it can be shown con-
ditions of competition warrant them.
The feeling at the Capitol is that he is
adhering to that position and that re-
ports he is backing the coalition are
not well founded.
Watson Is Confident.
Grundy, along with small group OF
Republican Senator'S, is openly opposed
to the tariff bill as it now stands,
Senator Grundy in a recent interview
declared he would vote against the bill
in the form in which the coalition is
shaping it. This, however, is not the
view of Watson. He wants a bill
passed and says he has the votes to
pass it.

By the Associated PICS.


OTTAWA, Ontario, February o.
William Irvine, member of Parliament
for Wetaskawin, said today that he was
considering introduction of resolution
proposing that Parliament cease
granting divorces. This move, he ex-
planned, would be an outcome Of the
recent defeat of a bill for establishment
of an Ontario divorce court.
j. s. Wordsworth, Labor member
from Winnipeg, said he intended to
continue protests against wholesale
granting Of divorces" by Parliament.
Il am not going to put myself in the
public eye as an advocate Of wholesale
divorces" Mr., Irvine said. That is
the position which those members who
voted against the bill for the establish
ment Of an Ontario divorce court put
us in. Our aim is to get rid Of the duty
of handling divorce. bills. as our con-
stituents send us to Parliament fol
other purposes"

One of the high points Of the con-

Mrs. Cake summoned a policeman to
the headquarters to watch the destroy

explained she was anxious to have a
witness of the incident. 1t was said
by officials of the league that the dog

tricity is used.
Reluctant to Talk.
Mrs. Cake was reluctant last night
to discuss the situation with the ex-
ception of her stand on the proper
method Of destroying animals. She said
her fight was inspired by a desire to
prevent brutality.
Of1cials of the league declared fire.
quent visits to headquarters by Mrs.
Cake had made it necessary for in
structions to be issued to prevent all
persons other than employees from en-
tering the quarters in which the kennels
OF the dogs are located. They said the
