Hearing.
LIVELY TILT AT SESSION
Morgan and Boutell Indulge in
Whisky Persiflage Jolin Sharp
Williams Says Three Drinks
Dull Critical Tastes.
WASHINGTON". Nov. 12. The wave
of prohibition which has spread over
the country apparently has had little
effect on the consumption of alcoholic
liquors and spirituous drinks, accord
ing; to evidence brought out at today's
hearing on the proposed tariff revision
before tne House committee on ways
and means. It was apparent, too, that
the liquor Interests are. on the whole,
well satisfied with the present tariff
on spirits, wines and other beverages
aa the winegrowers and Importers were
practically the only Interests represent
ed at today's hearing.
Doesn't Vse Whisky.
The morning session was enlivened
by a sharp but good-natured colloquy
between Percy T. Morgan, representing;
the wlnLgrowers Interests of Califor
nia, and Representative Boutell, of
Illinois. Mr. Morgan was telling the
committee why the regulations of the
Dlngley tariff covering the importa
tions of still wines should also extend
to these wines Imported from other
countries with which the United States
has reciprocity treaties. Addressing
Mr. Boutell. Mr. Morgan said:
"My contention Is that wines can be
Imported under the present reciprocity
arrangements up to 24 per cent, which
Is 4S proof, while the mfclnhs jvm your
self drink Is only S3 proof."
"The whisky I drink Is not any
proof." was Mr. Uoutell's quick re
Joinder. You may take some occasionally for
medicinal purposes." said Mr. Morgan.
"I never take any." replied Mr.
Boutell.
Mr. Morgan maintained that' under
the present reciprocity treaties with
the prlnrlpal producing countries alco
hol alluted with wine could be Im
ported Instead of wine diluted with
alcohol.
American Wines Most Cosily.
In any revision of the tariff on wlncs.
there should be established a difference
betaeen wines containing only alcohol
produced by natural fermentation and
those which have been fortified by the
addition of distilled spirits." he said,
"so that the condition may not continue
to be presented of tlie possibility of im
porting alcohol Into the United States at
a less rate of dnty than Is exacted on
domestic spirits by the revenue laws, or
of such a handicap being placed on tSe
domestic wine producer, as the possibility
of Importing a wine of such alcoholic
strength, that after arrival In the Unit
ed States the addition of water may
affect the cutting in half of the establish
ed Import duty."
W. E. Hlldreth. of New York, a cham
pagne expert, declared that the cost of
making American wlnea was much great
er than was that of producing French
wines and champagnes. He waa telling
the commttt.-. that Americana only pay
for the French labels, when Champ Clark
remarked:
'There are not 10w men In the United
States who, after they have had three
drinks, can tell what they are drinking."
Tobacco Comes Next.
L. J. Vance, of New fork, secretary of
tle American Winegrowers' Association,
declared that the reciprocity treaties gave
the Importers of foreign champagne a
reduction of per case In the duty and
tl;at th importers used the dollars
thus saved for the purpose of advertising
and keeping a trade which the American
wlnemakers possibly could get If they had
a simitar amount to spend for that pur
pose. He- also asked for an Increase of the
duties on mineral waters to meet the
Mgh tariffs of foreign countries. He de
clared that KYam-e practically prohibits
the Importation of American waters.
At the afternoon session. C. H. King
and John H. Wheeler, of New York,
argued for a decrease In the duties on
ale. porter and beer and declared that as
a result Imported ale and stout would be
clieaper to the consumer. Saying that
Irish gtnge- ale could not possibly be sold
cheaper than the domestic article even
If put on the free list. Mr. Klr.g asked
for a reduction In the tariff on that bever
age. Tomorrow the committee will take up
the schedule on tobacco with the manu
facturers. Captors Think Besemer Insane.

SCHWAB DEFINES REAL JOY
Not In Palaces, but Among Ham
mers and Whistles.
BERKELEY, Kov. 12. "Wealth does
not mean happiness," declared Charles
M. Schwab, ex-presldent of the United
States Steel Corporation, In a lecture be
fore the students of the University of
California this afternoon. During the
address he defended the principle of the
trust and said It had come to stay.
"I have occupied palatial residences
In New York and Boston," said Mr.
Schwab, "and thought at the time that
I was enjoying myself, but I know now
only the clang of the steam hammers and
the blowing of factory whistles mean
real happiness.
"I believe in high wages, but I de
mand hard work In return. The United
States Steel Corporation always paid
Its men high wages. This la possible
only with a corporation of the form of
the organizations which you call trusts.
The trust has come to stay. It means
high wages, economic lack of waste and
is, hence. Industrially solid." ,

CHANCELLOR TIRES OF JOB
Telegram : From Emperor In
creases Desire to Quit.
WILL REPORT ON DEBATE
Unless Kaiser Accepts Pledge to Re
strain His Tongue, Resignation
Is Probable Other Candidates
Are Under Discussion.
BERLIN, Nov. 12. Germany now is
alive1 with suspense as to whether the
Reichstag debate on the Kaiser's in
terview in the London Daily Telegraph
will culminate In the downfall of
Chancellor von Buelow. All depends
on how the Kaiser will receive him and
how far the . Kaiser, will agree to be
bound by the pledge which the Chan
cellor made, practically on his sov
ereign's behalf to the Reichstag. The
Chancellor said, almost in' so many
words, that unless the Emperor would
agree to cease interfering directly in
public affairs, he would- resign. This
is the only inference to be drawn from
the following passage of his speech in
the Reichstag last Tuesday:
Chancellor's Significant Words.
"The recognition by his majesty of
the unjustified misunderstanding of his
utterances with reference to - Great
Britain and tfie excitement and regret
aroused thereby in Germany will, I am
convinced, lead the" Emperor in future
private conversations to exercise that
reserve which, In the interest of a uni
form policy and the authority of the
crown Is Indispensable.
' "If this proves not to be so, neither I
nor any of my successors could take the
responsibility." .''..(
Kaiser Probably Balks. '.
According to the Lokal Anzelger, the
Chancellor intends to go to Donaueschln
gen, where the Emperor is hunting, to
report on the Reichstag debate, but that
he is waiting to learn whether or not
his speech is satisfactory to his majesty.
intimating that he will remain in office
if the Emperor indorses his statements
in the Reichstag.
In other words, the Emperor must
agree to exercise the reserve of which
the Chancellor spoke or Von Buelow will
resign.
It is believed, however, that the Kaiser
has already Intimated to Von Buelow his
displeasure at the latter's undertaking
to bridle his imperial tongue. This is
the inference to be drawn from a state
ment of the Tageblatt that Prince- von
Buelow's resignation Is Impending and
that the Chancellor has received a tele
gram from the Emperor which has in
creased his desire to retire.

Six More Warriors to Be Added to
England's List.
LONDON, Nov. 12.Premler Asquith
set .forth .In. the House of Commons to
day what was meant by the two-power
standard of naval strength of Great
Britain, and his announcement brought
out hearty cheers from all sides. Up to
the present time Mr. Asquith has been
noncommittal concerning a radical defi
nition of this-standard, which the Gov
ernment is pledged to maintain. The
Premier informed Arthur Lee, Conserva
tive member, that the Government ac
cepted the two-power standard as mean
ing a preponderance of 10 per cent
over the combined strength in ships of
the two next strongest naval powers.
This statement is taken to confirm the
belief held in naval circles that at least
six and perhaps seven additional battle
ships of the Dreadnaught type will be
provided for in the next naval estimates.
