Large importer of vegetable olla told tho committee that passago of the emer gency measure not only would threaten to cut off their source ot supply in the Orient but nlso would almost inevita bly eliminate the markets they hare de veloped there for their manufactured products. Oriental countries, they de clared, would consider the measure a direct thnist at them and probably would close their markets to this coun try in retaliation. Other witnesses supported the argument by predictions that tho far eastern countries would turn to Canada for the supply of steel and other construction materials they nre now receiving from the United States. Another protest ogainst the emergency tariff will be mada today when the dairy interests will be heard at the close of tho open hearings. The final step Friday will bring forward the question of what Senator Penrose has termed "modifications." Several members of the committee have announced they in tended to present amendments. House leaders, who framed the bill indicated today they would be inclined to oppose any radical revision by the Senate and would Instruct the Houso conferees to. Iioiu out lor tne measure as adopted by the House. There will be quite u fight within the Senate committee on nmendmenta, but the publicly stated position of Sen ator Penrose that he favored "modifi cations," It Is believed, will result in some changes being made. Opposition to any amendments whatever Is being led by Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, who bcllcvcR such action would lead to opening up of the measure for a "wagon load of amendments."

CHESTERTON HERE FOR TOUR; DOESN'T FAVOR PROHIBITION English Author Sees Dry Law Ending Our Independence. Thinks He Will Be Content After Visiting Chicago New York, Jan. 11. Gilbert K. Chesterton, the English author, arrived here yesterday on the Kaiserin Augusto Victoria to see the United States. He vvob accompanied by his artist wife and a lot of bags and luggage. Huge. pink, kindly nnd apparently n bit confused and wondering, he looked through his straight-barred glasses on the new land. Ho had come, he said. because it secmd absurd for a civilized man to go to his grave without ever having seen America. I have seen Je rusalem, and when I have seen Chi cago I think I can live contentedly in neaconsfleld." Out of all visiting Rritish authors, of whom New York has seen many since the war. G. K. Chesterton seemed most to enjoy talking for the sheer pleasure or expressing tne nuouiing tucas as tncy rose in his mind. "What n beautiful statue is the God dess of Liberty." he exclaimed with kindling eye. "J wanted to pour out a splendid oblation of ull the liquors rcJ malnlng on bonrd an a slight relief to my feelings." "The bronze has turned green for Ireland." it was suggested. "It Is curious," he said reflectively, "how things fall into their opposite in decay. Red bronze turns RTeen. Blue Iron turns red. Democracy becomes gross plutocracy. Dnre I add thnt the Declaration of Independence ends in prohibition?" "Then you do not approve of prohi bition?" "I express myself only in reply to a direct question. There ore so many tyr annies in Knglnnd for an Englishman to object to thnt it Is not necessary for him to go abroad to do so. Resides It lias a little tang, ns of the criticism of n host. Rut In reply to n direct r-hal. lenge I must say I do object to prohi bitlon." "lll you spcik of the Irish situa tion?" was the next nuestlon. "I think it is the devil of a situa tion," ho replied.
