NQUIRY
Republican VtRes Aid in Getting
Protest Before , Senate Clirers
Rroonnd When rattens Ac
tion Is Renounced.
WASHINGTON. Mar 14. V?lnr an
"ortirlnal Wilson man; from Michigan
with a fluent pen. for an oracle, the
sntl-freo suarar remocrats, led by Sn-
ator Ransdell.- of Louisiana, assailed
the I'nderwood sugar schedule In the
Senate today, despite strenuous efforts
' of Senator Simmons and other Demo
- crats to stop the attack.
Republicans enjoyed the effort of
the Democratic leaders to prevent the
reading; of a long- letter submitted by
' Senator Ransdell, written by Lewis C.
Rowley, of Lansing", in. which free
, suirar advocates were characterized as
"accursed, unpardonable apostates of
Oemocratic faith," and the free-sus;ar
xrhedule as a "boomerang; to knock out
the Democratic party."
Rennblleaaa Help Jtaaadrll.
With Republican rotes Senator
' Ransdell wan aided in Retting: the long;
epistle before the Senate as a part of
' the argument against the proposed
' suarar tariff. In the letter from Mlchl-
i ran. President Wilson's attitude on
5 it ear. the party platform pledsres and
. tie Vresii1enfs campaign pledsres not
to hurt any legitimate industry were
' recalled, the writer declaring; "there ia
almost Imminent danger that In his al
most hilarious enthusiasm for the
Democratic Ideals, the President will
'trr to do too much.'"
The Democrats also were forced to
hear from this ame trenchant Michi
gan protestant that "the statesman or
. party leader who, in formulating; Ira
portant legislative matters does not
; take Into consideration the psychology
, i al effect, as well as the ultimate prac
tlcal results of those measures, is a
, raw hand at the business."
Wilson Nat "Raw Hand."
He said he did not believe Presl
" dent Wilson was "that kind of an im
mature leader."
"I refuse to believe." he continued,
."that the President will commit the
party to a radical course, which, how
1 ever sound theoretically, is calculated
to alienate and alarm large numbers
" of voter in the most populous agri
' cultural section of the country."
Republicans applauded when the
".Senate clerk read:
"la free trade to be Inscribed as the
. party gonfalon which erstwhile bore
the immortal watchword of free sil
ver?" Again, when the admonition was
sounded that the Democratic party
would "better effect changes moderate.
' ly and safely rather than hastily and
at the dictates of a caucus, too many
of whose members leave their private
judgments and consciences where the
- Mussulman leaves his shoes outside
'. the door," the chamber resounded to
- Republican cheers.
Penrose Denies Filibuster.
Senator Penrose later Injected levity
Into the proceedings when Senator
Simmons, on behalf of tbe finance com
mittee, tried to get an agreement for
a vote on the question of public hear
lnEs on the Underwood bill. The Penn-
. feylvania Senator emphatically denied
that he bad any Idea of conducting a
filibuster on the Issue. He had asked
for public hearings, he said, because he
conscientiously believed that they
. should be held and he felt sura that
the Senator from North Carolina had
. not entertained any Idea that be had
ever captained any "legislative pirati
. cat craft."
While Senator Simmons was endea-
voting to tlx time for a vote the time
for the consideration of the question
expired and again it went over until
. tomorrow, at which time the Demo
crats will endeavor to bring the refer-
rnce .of the bill and the Republican
r public hearing amendment to a vote.

INCIDENT IS ENDED

sistent British Demand.
BRYAN'S ADVICE IGNORED
Guarantee Made to Bondholders
That Two-Tbirds of Export Tax
on Coffee Will Be Applied
to ' External Debt.
WASHINGTON, May 14. Private
advices received here early today say
President Cabrera, of Guatemala, has
acceded to the demands of the British
Government for a settlement of the
long standing British claims. The
London Foreign Office recently issued
an ultimatum to Cabrera, giving him
until tomorrow to settle, and a British
warship was on the way to Puerto
Barrios to emphasize tbe demand.
Secretary Bryan, in an effort to
help Guatemala out of her embarrass
ment, had expressed to the British
Government the hope that she would
extend the time named in her ultima
tum. No reply yet had been received
today, but the settlement announced in
the private advices probably ends the
incident, which threatened to force
development of the Wilson Administra
tion's attitude toward foreign debts of
the Central American republics.
The Guatemalan Minister today con
firmed the earlier advices and an
nounced that under the arrangement
with the British bondholders, "one
dollar out of every dollar and a half
export tax paid on each quintal of
coffee would be allotted to the pay
ment of interest on the external debt."
The Minister declared the adjust
ment would aid in carrying out the
proposed loan of $30,000,000 with New
York bankers, through which Guate
mala expects to pay off the English
debt, reform Its currency -system and
establish a National bank.

Kern's resolution for Federal investi

strike of coal miners in West Virginia
advanced through three hours of de
bate today to a point where its friends
in the Senate Believe that a vote on it

of the state and expressed the opinion
that such Judicial acts as these were
responsible for a growing sentiment
in this country in favor of the recall

Borah Cites Precedents.
Senator- Kern told of pressure
brought to bear to prevent the inquiry
and expressed surprise that mine op
erators seemed opposed to an investi
gation if they were concerned as to
the good name of their state.
Senator Borah, author of a resolu
tion of the same tenor last year, re
ferred to decisions of the United States
Supreme Court in similar cases, and
Insisted that It had held that, while a
Governor of a state might create a
military zone such as existed in West
Virginia, and might employ the militia
to enforce an order, the men must be
tried in the civil courts and under the
ordinary law, not by military law. He
declared that if men had been tried by
court-martial in West Virginia and
sent to the penitentiary without re
gard to their rights of trial under the
constitution . and the laws, an Investi
gation should be conducted.
Whole Nation Concerned.
"If such conditions exist." said the
Senator, "it is of supreme concern to
the people of tbe United States." '
Senator. Root approved the investi
gation. He said that if men in West
Virginia were being deprived of their
rights of the protection of the law
with the sanction of the state's su
preme authority, its Governor should
remedy the situation.
Senator Goff admitted many inci
dents related by Mr. Kern, but declared
that the creation of military tribunals
was justified under existing condi
tions. He told of orators who went

Superfluous
Hair Truths
Stop Experimenting
There are but few depilatories sold.
Tou think there are hundreds because
you have used the same Identical
creparations under several different
names. This is easily explained.
Women stop using
So-Called Hair Removers
when they learn that they are harm
ful. Therefore, th.y can not te sold
under the same nama for any length
of time. Then the identical, worth
less, harmful concoctions are given
new names and advertised again as
totally different preparations to
Defraud the Same Foolish Women
who Innocently buy them over and
over again under different names, and
this will continue as long as women
are so unwise as to experiment with,
unknown, so-called hair removers.
Has Stood the Test of Time
Do Miracle has been aold as Da
Miracle for over eleven years, and its
nama has never been changed. It is
acknowledged the world over by emi
nent authorities as the one safe, per
fected hair remover, therefore it is
the only depilatory you can use with
out experimenting.
Leaves No Tell-Tale Smell
If you use De Miracle it will be lm-
Sosslble for any curious person to
now that you have used a hair re
mover because Da Miracle evaporates
immediately after accomplishing its
work, therefore leaves no odor what
ever. On the other hand, if you usa
any depilatory with a distinctive odor,
en offensive, tell-tale smell will cling
to your skin for. hours.
Avoid Permanent Disfigurement
by refusing substitutes. If your dealer
will not supply you send $1.00 direct.
