Committee Reports Favorably
on Lodge Substitute For
House Sugar Bill.
Washington. The senate f.nane
committee authorized a favorable re
port on the Loilpe substitute for the
house free sugar bill, ami an unfavor
able report on the so-called house ex
cise Income tax bill, which proposed a
tax on incomes in excess of $5000 a
year. The Lodge sugar bill would
eliminate the differential nud Dutch
standard from the tariff and leave the
duties otherwise practically as at pres
ent Senator Simmons offered a substi
tute sugar bill, prepared by the demo
cratic members of the committee. It
proposed a reduction of existing duties
by about one-third, but was voted
down by a strict party vote of six to j
eight Both bills would reserve the
20 per cent discount to Cuba.
There was no time suggested by the
committee for a vote in the senate on
any of the tariff bills, nor any renewed
effort toward effecting adjournment
of congress before the national party
conventions in June.
Amendment it Certified.
The proposed amendment to the
Constitution providing for direct elec
tion of senators has been sent to the
governors of the states by Secretary
Knox. The resolution was sent
through the mails with a letter ad
dressed to each governor, certifying
that 'the resolution has been duly
adopted by a two-thirds vote in each
branch of congress.

ing I18.S19.837, approximately $7,500,

Samoa, Guam and the Philippines, is

pay of officers and men more than $2,
000,000. Senate Amends Agricultural Bill,

ent. House Passes Pujo Bank Bill

ate. The bill provides that either
branch of congress shall have visita
torial powers over national banks, this
right carries w ith it the power to send
special examiners into the national
banks.

COFFEE TRUST SUIT
FOLLOWSJEARINGS
J. P. Morgan and Others Usa
Resources to Curb Pro
duction in Brazil.
New York.-Af er a year of careful
research and preparation the govern
ment has Instituted suit against Iht
coffee trust under the Sherman anti
trust law.
The stilt follows quickly the testi
mony of the first witnesses in the mon
ey trust investigation at Washington,
which showed that J. P. Morgan, the
National City Hank and the First Na
tlonal Hank of New York have used
their huge resources to curb the pro
duction of coffee in Dnull and corner
the world's supply.
The court is asked to divree the I
scheme unlawful, to enjoin the valor- I
liatiott commllte frdiu withholding I
coffee from the market and to appoint !
a receiver to sell the SjO.ooo bags,
valued at $10,000,000, now alleged to !
be stored in warehouses of the New I
York lx'k company.
The Urasiliun state of Sao Taulo, I
the greatest coffee district in the j
world, is party to the agreements
which are declared unlawful In Amer
ica. The government holds that the
Brazilian state was induced to enact
the laws and enter Into agreements
in connuctlon with the valorisation
plan.
As the United States consumes 40
per cent of all the coffee used In the
world, the petition declares that every
act which prevents its Importation In
normnl quantities or Increases prices
Is a direct restraint upon foreign and
Interstate trade.
Big League Players Strike.

made here when the players of the

Indianapolis. Kijgene Victor Debs,
of Terre Haute, Ind., was nominated
as a candidate for the presidency of
the United States by the national so
cialist convention, and Emil Seidel,
formerly mayor of Milwaukee, was
nominated for vice president.
The convention went squarely on
record in favor of woman's suffrage
in every form and hit the hardest blow
at the white slave traffic ever enacted
by any national gathering.
The radicals and conservatives
fought It out all week and the adjourn
ment found both factions claiming
victory. The radicals gained a sweep
ing advantage through the recognition
of industrial as well as all other forms
of unionism. This Included the In
dustrlal Workers of the World, who.
the conservatives claimed, are an an
archlst body. Because of this, the so
cialists specifically disavowed all form
of violence In labor troubles nnd
agreed that all socialists who may ad
vocate such direct action shall bo
forthwith expelled.
