AsM"r( lll.( IfKN.TFII ft SOLD BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE FREE RAW WOOL ISJNDORSED Democratic Caucus .Sustains Tariff Revision CRITICISM FOR PRESIDENT Charged That Wilson Holds Whip Over Congressmen Who Might In cline to Balk Over Tariff Measure. The Democratic caucus voted on the free raw wool provision advocated by Prosident Wilson and adopted It, 130 to 42. The vote waa taken on an amend ment offered by Hepresentative Dies of Texas, proposing a rate of 15 per cent on raw wool. The fight on the free wool provision was started by Representative Dies, iv ho had the support of some of his colleague from Texas, members from Ohio and other wool producing states. Having In mind President Wilson's conference with Chairman I'nderwood on the tariff Mr. Die reminded the caucus that thpro were three co ordinate branches of the government, each supposedly Independent and each Instructed with certain duties to per form. The house, he Raid, was au thoriipd to originate tariff bills. He strongly intimated that In this In stance the house lenders had shared their constitutional responsibility with the executive and that as a result a precedent had been established that might prove dangerous In the future. Representative Alexander of .Mis souri, who comes from an agrlcultu.-al district, spoke more to the point. He declared that It was common gossip in the capital that Democrats who withheld supiMirt from the tariff bill would be punished by the administra tion. Mr. Alexander charged the mem bers of the ways and means committee with responsibility for circulating the report as to the attitude of the presl dent and he Intimated that this had been done to the end that opponents of certain features of the bill might be driven into line. Representative I'nderwood made a speech In which he defended the bill and he urged all members of the party to stand by the measure as it had been approved by the administration. He said the bill represented a fair compro mise, that It was in the main equitable to all lntere s concerned and that in his opinion it would be approved by the country. The entire income tax provision of the tariff bill was adopted with only a MOIARCH CLOTHIIG COMPAIY. Our Success of Years.

The protests of the insurance com panies which set up the complaint that the income tax provision taxes them excessively will be given expreu slon In the Semite. Under the hill as reported all In comes In excess of $1,000 are made subject to tax. Representative Shirley of Kentucky wanted the minimum re duced to $2,000. He also wanted the surtax Increased on Incomes of $1 00, 000 and over. These suggestions In the form of amendments were beaten by an overwhelming vote. That ad valorem duties as proposed In the Democratic tariff bill are "a de lusion aud a snare;" that the radical tariff revision submitted by the Demo crats Is inexcusable and uncalled for anil that an accounting will come for Its enactment into law are contentions of the Republican members of the ways and means committee In a minority report presented to the house. "There Is no excuse for the radical change in our revenue system pro posed by this Democratic bill," says the report, which Is signed by Repre sentatives Payne, Fordney, Gardner, Moore, Green and Anderson. "The peo ple have not asked It. The party pro posing it Is In power, not by the grace of a majority of the American people, but by a division in the, ranks of the majority on oilier questions than that of protection." The report contends that the bill has caused "Intense and widespread alarm in business circles," and que0' the message of Democratic Governor Foss to the Massachusetts legislature describing the" proposed act as "a nonprotective tariff for revenue only, tinreclprocal, destructive downward revision." Defending "the existing Payne-Al-drlch tariff, the minority asserts that In the last four years "the people of the country have been more prosper ous than over before in our Mstory." ,- Guthrie to Go to Japan, There is no doubt now that the president has decided to send George W. Guthrie of Pittsburg to Japan as ambassador. . The president iprobably will hurry tlila nomination inasmuch as American interests In Japan have been stron . y urging the appointment of an ambassador to succeed Lara Anderson who has returned to Wash ington. It is also certain now that Charles R. Crane of Chicago will have the diplomatic post at St. Petersburg if he will accept It. The belief is that Mr. Crane has notified the president he cannot accept the post at present on account of the pressure of business affairs. Ira Nelson Morris of Chicago, son of Nelson Morris, the packer, was recom nien'led for appointment as ambassa dor to Italy by Senator L-wls of li.lnois.

President Wilson summarily dis missed Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau, for al leged Irregularities in the conduct of his office. At the same time the president sus pended Charles L. Burns, foreman of the weather bureau 'printing office, and took official cognizance of an Investi gation now under way which may re sult In the removal of a number ot employes on the ground that they have been "unduly active In using the pub lic service for private and personal ends." "The private and personal ends" re ferred to. It Is officially admitted, were the furtherance of a campaign for the appointment of Moore as secretary of agriculture In the Wilson cabinet. The charges of gross Irregularities made against the weather bureau chief re late to the same activity. Secretary of Agriculture Houston in a statement acknowledges that thpse charges against the weather bureau chief are of such a grave nature that the department of justice has been called upon to Investigate them. The appropriation for the weather bureau Is made In a lump sum, last year of $600,000, to be expended under the direction of the head of the weather bureau. It has been charged that Burns, the foreman of the printing office In the bureau, was particularly active in furthering the campaign of Moore. It is said he visited as a labor union man typographical unions In many parts of the country urging them to draw resolutions asking for the ap pointment of Moore to a cabinet place. It was acknowledged at the depart ment of agriculture that the govern ment's Investigation of the weather bureau was still under way, but that the evidence already laid . before, the president was considered sufficient to warrant the summary dismissal of Chief Moore. Professor Moore submitted his res ignation to Mr. Wilson In the usual way on March 5. It was announced on March 13 that thj president had Women's and Misses' Suits at $9.98, $11.98, $16.50, $18.00 and $20.00 Special prices on Slip On Raincoats, Suit Cases, Umbrellas, etc. Silk Waists 60 dozen pretty Messaline and Silk Waists in plain or fancy stripes, Bulgar ian trimming or trimming of Nell Rose, Blue and Pink, $3.00 and $3.60 value.

Sale at $15.00 aorepted the paper with the under standing that it should not go Into effert until July 81. Professor Moore Issued this state ment: "I am In receipt of a letter from the president saying that an In vestigation of my conduct of the weather bureau discloses such Irregu larities on my part that the interests of the public service demand my dis missal. "In reply I will say that It Is the same old Influences that attempted to displace and remove Dr. Harvey W. Wiley without letting him see the charges or confront his accusers that are now driving me from the public service. "I .do not believe that the great or ganizations that have known me for twenty years as the chief of the weather bureau and which largely In dorsed me for a cabinet place will be satisfied that I have done anything dishonorable until the light of pub licity is let In and Secretary Houstons Russian-Siberian methods give way to American fair play. "I brand as an infamous falsehood the Intimation that any man In the weather bureau has been coerced In supporting me for the secretaryship, any man promoted for serving me or a dollar of public money expended In the Interest of my candidacy. I worked for the place and spent my own money and so did many of my friends work and spend their money. Is this a crime under the new dis pensation of things? "I shall gladly welcome any investi gation to which the press Is admitted; but why limit the Inquiry to the weather bureau?" WIFE POOR KISSER, MAN SAYS Wed 20 Years, Kisslest 17, He Wants Divorce. Andrew Smith, a wealthy farmer of Island Creek township, near Steuben Vllle, O., In a petition alleges he has not been kissed In seventeen years and that his wife received too many postcards from other men. Mrs. Smith admitted that she prob ably had not been as free with oscil latory marks of affection as when she was first married, and acknowledged receiving the cards, but said that a printed message "did not mean any thing." She says Smith had treated her cruelly and added, "but I like him pretty well." They' have been married twenty years. BERRY TO BE COLLECTOR Forrner Treasurer Will Get Position at Philadelphia.

HOUSE RATIFIES BOND AMENDMENT Good Roads Proposition to Go Before People Again SENATE REBUKED BY HOUSE Latter Body Refuses to Concur In Upper Chamber's Resolution to Ad journ 'III Feeling Between Houses. The amendment to the constitution to provide for a bond issue of $u0, 000,000 for the improving of the high ways of the state has, for the second time, been agreed to by the Pennsyl vania legislature. The next step Is to submit It to the people for approval at the November election. The legislature of 1915 will provide the legislation for the spend ing of the money. By a vote of 1S9 to 2 the house passed the resolution finally. The iil-feeiing between the house and senate developed last week into open hostility. The house, led by Pro gressives, joined by many organization men, became the aggressor, declining to concur in the customary senate resolution to adjourn until Monday. The senate promptly ignored this ac tion aud adjourned as planned, after deciding that this procedure was not in violation of the constitutional restric tion of adjournment for more than three days without concurrence. The Kline resolution, memorializ ing congress for the construction of public roads to connect the capitals of the various states by the government, was passed by the senate and sent to the house. Senator Jones introduced a 'resolu tion asking Pennsylvania senators and congressmen to favor legislation for the protection of niigatory and insec tiverous wild birds. It was considered at onse, passed and sent to the house. A resolution to provide for the ap pointment of a commission of mem bers of the legislature for an Investi gation of the white slave traffic of the state was introduced by Harry Cochran of Fayette counfcy in the house. According to Cochran the measure is not an administration one. The commission would be composed of live members of the legislature, two of the senate and not of the same political party to be appointed by the president pro tern, and three of the house, not all of the same political party, to be appointed by the speaker. The duty of the commission would be to Investigate the alleged traffic in - - ... girls tn ppnnsylvapla for Years in oil c"y- EXTRA SPECIALS Girls' Middy Waists Handsome Middy Waists of pure white linen, trimmed in red or blue, sailor col lar and cuffs; extra special $1.00 value. 49c Women's and Misses' Handsome fine tan, white or blue all wool serge coats, full length a Johnny style $12.00 and $id.ou values. $8.98 Misses' and Juniors' Golf or Norfolk Blouses, of all wool flannel; come in plain red with Bulgarian or black trim med collars and cuffs; same styles in big block plaids of white and black and red and black; $7.60 value. $4.98 SPECIAL Today & Saturday Choice of all Men's and Young Men's Norfolk Suits in all styles and sizes; till Saturday. $12.98 Free, Free, Free Hats Free with all Men's Suits till Saturday.

' Governor Tener announced that he had signed the Joint resolution ratify ing the amendment to the federal con stitution for direct election of United States senators. A certified copy will be sent to Washington. The last time a similar document was signed by the governor of Pennsylvania was In 18fi!t. The Kline bill, which would permit an appeal to the superior court in cer tain cases where the judges refuse a liquor license, was squeezed through the senate by the narrow vote of 27 to 12. There was no debate. This bill would allow an appeal where an ap plicant had held a license for two years and was refused on his third ap plication. The Judge would have to put on the record why he refused the applicant, especially making note whether the dealer had "Intentionally and wilfully" sold to minors. This measure has been keeping company on the calendar for several weeks with the Snyder bill to allow brewers, wholesalers and bottlerB to deliver beer anywhere In Pennsylvania ami the Snyder bill relating to the trans fer of liquor licenses. The retailers wanted the Kline bill and It was put before the senate to see how the senators would take to liquor legislation, the intention being to follow with the Snyder bills.
