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.

few minor changes and this means H
will be passed hy the bouse.
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.

MOORE BOUNCED
BY PRESIDENT
Alleged Irregularities in Weather
Bureau Office
AX READY FOR MORE EMPLOYES
Moore Courts Public Investigation,
Saying Same Influences That Hound
ed Dr. Wiley Are Persecuting Him.
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

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.

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

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.
BRYAN AND CLARK MAKE UP
Once Enemies Reconciled Hatchet It
Buried at Luncheon in Washington.
Champ Clark and William J. Bryan
have wept on each other's shoulder
and made up. Alter elaborate negotia
tion? covering several days the two
were brought together at a luncheon
in Washington lor the first time hinco
the falling out at the Baltimore con
vention which resulted In the over
throw of the Clark boom and the
nominating of Wood row Wilson.
The reconciliation of the Commoner
and the speaker took place at a lunch,
eon given by Ira K. Bennett, Wash
ington editor. i'i a private dining room
at the New Wi l ird hotel.
The harsh feelings between Clark
and Bryan have been one of tlie
danger spots in the administration.
The speaker came out of the Balti
more ((invention vowlnt he wouM
never I'gain have anyiiii:ip; to do with
Colonel Bryan. Clark on every o-'-casion
sho ved his bluer feeling to
ward the Commoner.
No sign of recognition passed be
tween the two on inauguration dav
when they were only a few feet apart
at the ceremonies, and It was an open
serret that Mr. Clark's friends feared
his Intern e bitterness niisht carry him
beyond his proprieties whenever the
two should meet fi'.re to face.
