WILSON'S GRIP
FELT JNSENATE
First Tesl Vota on Tariff a
Viciory For Auminislratioii
NO FUBLIC HEARINGS GRANTED
On Amendment to Open Door For
Discussions Only Two Democrats
Forsake Party, Vote Being 41 to 36.
President Wilson lias control of the
situation In the senate and the way
now seems to be open for a notable
victory for him on his tariff urogram.
1 his Is the Interpretation put on the
first test vote on the Underwood bll.
By, a division of 41 to 36 the senate
refused to grant public hearings on
the bill and thus sustained the motion
ol the Wilson leaders In the upper
brunch of congress. Only two Demo
crats left the party reservation. They
were Ransdell and Thornton of Louis
iana, who are expected to vote against
the tariff bill on its Dual passage.
The Democratic forces in the senate
were recruited toy one vote, that of
Senator Polndexter of Washington, the
only avowed Progressive or third party
man In the senate.
Senators Walsh of Montana and
Norlands of Nevada, who have led
the Democratic Insurgent movement
on free wool and who have been
classed as doubtful, declared they in
tended to stand by the party program.
So significant were the develop
ments In the senate that Senator
Clarke of Wyoming, a Republican, ad
mitted on the floor that the Underwood
bill was practically certain of passing.
Pointing his finger at the Democratic
side he accused Democratic senators
of bowing submissively to the yoke of
the party caucus in the face of the
fact that their personal agreement was
that the present tai'iff bill is not a
proper measure.
The action of the senate in voting
against holding hearings means that
the passage of the bill would be ex
pedited. Five hoiiirs of debate preced
ed the vote.
Probably the most Interesting fea
ture of the debate in the senate was
the speech of Senator James of Ken
tucky. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary
to the president, occupied a seat in
the gallery. Senator James was fre
quently interrupted by Senator Rans
dell. He Intimated that President Wil
son after declaring in a speech at
Pittsburg that the Democratic party
was not In favor of free trade, "or any
thing approaching it." was unw playing

Replying, Senator James declared
that the pending bill was not a free
trade measure; that It would raise
$300,000,000 in revenue; and that the
fact that the president was In favor
of free sugar did not convict him of
being a free trader. He accused Rans
dell of inconsistencies, saying Rans
dell did not consider himself a free
trader when he voted as a member of
tho ihouse for free boots and shoes,
tree bread and meat and other articles
In the farmers' free list In the last
congress.
Mr. Ransdell replied: "If the senator
from Kentucky can demonstrate to me
that any of the industries whose
products I voted for to put on the free
list last congress would be destroyed
by .removing the duty, then I will Join
him in voting for a duty."
Kern's Resolution Still Unsettled.
In the debate over Senator Kern's
resolution for an investigation of min
ing conditions In West Virginia the
senate discussed the authority of the
governor of West Virginia to issue an
order declaring martial law which
closed the civil courts and substituted
therefore the court-martial. Senator
Goff maintained that this act was up
held by previous decisions of the su
preme court of the United States and
the supreme court of Pennsylvania.
"If In such cases," Senator Borah
declared, "the governor of the state
can close the doors of the courts and
deny the right of trial by Jury when
the courts are able to proceed with
cases under their Jurisdiction and we,
the United States, are forced to sit
Idly by and Bee it proceed we become
Mexlcanized in forty-eight hours."
"Jf there Is a state of Insurrection,"
Senator Goff replied, "the governor
has the authority to put the whole
state under martial law with the com-niander-in-cuief
to control it by his
own will. That is the law of war."
Armor Plate Contract Criticised.

F.xplains Difference Between Demo

Platforms Becoming More Popular.
Secretary of State W. J. Bryan ad
dressed the Pennsylvania legislature
on the distinction between den.ocracy
and aristocracy and predicted tiiat, be
lore another presidential election
i.iiled aro.md the presidential primary
would bo so general that there would
be no need for the ho. ding of national
conventions s:id that the prenlue.nlal
nominees would be named, not by the
.party Losses but by the people.
"Jef.eisun a century ago Bpoke ot
two parties," he said, "one wa the
democratic party and the other the
aristocratic party. The democratic
party of Jefferson's day was not called
the Democratic party but the Kepub
lican party; so handicapped were ne
in a name."
"The democratic is that party which
tries to bring the government near the
people," he said, "and the aristocratic
party is that which desires to restrain
and obstruct popular government." He
added:
"The aristocratic idea is for the peo
ple to have men do the thinking for
them. Tlie democratic idea is to have
the people do their own thinking and
elect representatives lo act for them.
The aristocratic idea of government
obtains more after election than be
fore; I do not know of any man who
ever ran before election on aristo
crutic ideas, but I have known of some
Democrats who ran for election on
democratic ideas and afterward adopt
ed the aristocrat views, despite the
fact that the democratic view is the
popular view."
The special house committee to in
vestigate charges against Judge 11. A.
Fuller, Luzerne, reported "that there
exist no grounds whatsoever for im
peachment" and recommended "that
no further steps be taken by tho
house."
John It. K. Scott, Philadelphia, who
presented the report for the commit
tee, moved that reading be dispensed
with and the report be spread upon
the Journal. This was agreed to.

Tho house reconsidered the action
of last week by which the Moore biM,
framed by the state banking depart
ment, was defeated and passed the
measure by a vote of 12:! to 4ti. The
bill would provide that the commis
sioner of banking should have tho
power to act as receiver and wind up
the business of banks ami building and
loan associations which the banking
department believed insolvent.
The house passed without debate
the administration "blue sky" bill, to

Senator John O. Sheatz would pre
vent the police of Philadelphia from

to make It a misdemeanor for them to

Interfere with elections or use the of

Governor Tener signed the cold
storage bill. It will become operative
in ninety days and Pennsylvania, say
those who should know, will then
have one of the best laws of the kind
of any state in the Union.
The enactment of the measure !s
the culmination of a fight waged for
twenty years to prevent the abuses
of the cold storage business. Not only
will the operation of the new law
mean purer and fresher food for the
consumer, but it Is expected that It
will work a considerable saving in tbe
cost of living.
Under the provisions of the act food

Beef, four months; pork and sheep,
