ALD HIGH SHOVES 'LITTLE BOB' ASIDE Accepts Amendment From Bulkeley, Which La Fol lette Had Offered. 3URKETTS ANGRY PROTEST Declares Action Justifies Vote oi I jack of Confidence in Commit tee Limit on Island To bacco I Stricter. WASHINGTON, June 15. Vigorously denouncing the committee on finance be cause of Its change of front over night on the subject of tobacco importations from the Philippines. Burkett of Nebraska, in the Senate characterized this action as "an cfTort to hang; the Senator from Wis consin up in the air," and finally declared that this even "afforded Senators a good opportunity to vote a lack of confidence In the committee." This followed Aldrich's statement that the committee -would accept the amend ment proposed by Bulkeley to reduce the number of cigars to be admitted free of duty from the Philippine Islands from loO. 000.000 to 70.000.000 and the quality of tiller tobacco from 1.500.000 to 1.000.000 pounds, together with a provision that '.he wrapper and filler tobacco should be mstommed when receiving this conces sion. AldrlcU' Wins, as Vsnal. .Aldrich. replying, said the committee's su-tU.n involved no mystery or petty poll :is. but that it proposed in the future to chance a schedule when convinced that a m tu ke had been made. He expressed the option that the actual Importations from the Philippines would not equal he amouT.t named in the amendments the committee had accepted. Encouraged by the committee's action. La Follette proposed another amendment to reduce the free importation of cigars to 80.000.000 annually, but this was de feated. SS to "7. llorah for Philippine Independence. An interesting feature was a declaration by Borah that ho proposed to vote for loosening the bond which tied the Phil ippines to the United States. He declared himself in favor of giving the islands an Independent government and said his con victions would force him to differ from his party and perhaps from the Presi dent, as he did not believe a colonial policy consistent with the constitution. Aldrich Reduces Glass Rates. Aldrich this evening presented the finance committee's amendment to the schedule. Aldrich also submitted amend ments to the window glass schedule, re ducing the rates even below those nro- vided in the House bill. He also pre sented amendments reducing the rate on osier and willow for basket-making. cnanging the rates upon electrodes, and restoring the House rates on barytes. In response to the request of Scott, action on the wondow glass schedule whs post poned until tomorrow, but the other rec ommendations were adopted without di vision. At 7 o'clock the Senate adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow. Bulkeley Starts Touble. Declaring tobacco grown in the Philippine Islands unfitted for the American market because of its in ferior quality, Bulkeley opposed the jrnuippine amendment, and insisted that its enactment into law would do the Filipinos no good. Teach them," he said, "that their way to make a market for their to bacco, or anything else, is to produce a superior quality, and there -will be a natural demand for them." Bulkeley Starts Trouble. Bulkelev thon nff.M tt.. - j 1. - v-.v-.v-v kUQ aillCllUHICIIlp referred to above relating to Philippine tobacco.' and Penrose Tnnno on ir i t er approving this proposed change as iiiiLiury w me tobacco interests of their states. Aldrich promptly, on behalf of the flnanoo rnmmfttoa ex cepted this amendment. This ' pro- xjuriteit to make his assault on tne committee, charging that It was playing: -a came nf nattv nni;ti. against La Follette. He said the or iginal amendment had been brought into the Senate as approved by the President, but in face of that fact the committee had brought in its recom mendation for a reduction of 5,000,000 cigars below that called for by the La Follette amendment. Dick, Gallinger and Depew defended the committee. Better Give Them Money. Estimating the loss of revenue that would result from the free entry of cigars from the Philippines to the United States at 13,500,000 annually, and the loss from free sugar at $10,000, 000. Newlands declared that it would be better to make a direct aporooriation for the benefit of the Filipinos. He de clared the tariff concessions would benefit the great Philippine tobacco trust cmeny Root appealed for the passage of the amendment as first proposed by the committee as a mere act or Justice. Replying to a question of Newlands. the New York Senator said he believed the Philippine people eventually would be able to assume independence in their Hovernment such as now exists in Cub A vou was then taken on the La Follette amendment reducing the num ber of free Philippine cigars from , 70,000,000 to 60,000,000, and it was re jected. 38 to 27. The Republicans voting in favor of the amendment were Borah, Bristow, Brown, Burkett, Clapp, Cummins, Dolliver and La Follette. Compromise on Wood Pulp. Wood pulp and print paper were con sidered today by Republican members of the finance committee. No vote was taken. The duty on paper will be fixed at $4 a ton, which is a compromise be tween the House rate of 2 and the $6 rate of the present law.

June 15. There was an abrupt decline of JS a share in Amer ican Sugar Refining stock during ?.he first hour of trading oi. the Stock F-r- change today. The drop in the price was attributed to the litigation of -ha company recently and to fears of a rigorous Government inquiry into its affairs. At one time the stock fell from 127 to 123 on one sale, but later there was a rally of 4. The break in this stock affected the entire list and 1he whole market declined. The failure of the stock market to rally from the influence of the break in Amer ican Sugar prompted the organization of a bear party in the speculation.

' v State Suffers Tremendous Financial Drain and Invalids Not Great ly Aided, Conference Is Told. BUFFALO, N. T., June 15. Notable among the speakers at the National Con ference of Charities and Corrections, which is being held in this city, was Dr. W. B. Friedman, president of the Colo rado State Board of Charities, who opened today s session with a paper on "The Great Wrong of Sending Avanced Con sumptives away from Home." Dr. Friedman gave startling figures as to the financial burden that charitable societies in his state carried annually and showed how Colorado had become a veritable dumping-ground for the sick from all parts of the Nation to the tre mendous drain of the state funds, and to but slight gain to the sick. "Colorado or any other health resort as a last chance Is a lost chance for advanced consumptives. Every humani tarian impulse urges such patients to re main at home. It is an injustice and an irreparable injury to the sufferers to send them away. The sudden change from sea level to a highland, rarifled atmosphere, tho wearing hardships of travel aeera- vate complications and hasten death. Be sides, "incurables' wield a dangerous In fluence over curables." To place these ill-starred victims of the valley of the shadow of death in hourly contact with those whose hearts beat high with hooe is a pitiable attempt at performing serv ice. The constant effect of depressing mental 6uggestion is fatal to recovery. It often results in turning the 'curable' into an 'incurable.' " As part of a symposium on "what con stitutes right publicity in philanthropic work," John A. Kingsbury, assistant sec retary of the New York State Charities Aid Association, suggested that the rela tion of public health work to right pub licity differs in only one respect from proper and effective commercial advertis ing. "It must tell the truth must be moral," said the speaker. "The advertisement that sells is good; the advertisement that does not sell is bad. Unlike commercial ad vertising, our publicity campaign has a humanitarian purpose, and to accomplish it we should learn the thousand prin ciples involved in commercial advertising.
