WASHINGTON, May 10. That Re
publican Senators plan to insist on
amendments to nearly every item in
the Underwood tariff bill when it comes
hefore the Senate for dlsrusslon be
came evident today, when Senator Pen
rose, ex-chairman of the finance com
mittee, declared that every member of
the minority would have amendments to
propose. '
Senator Penrose told the Senate he
knew of no concerted effort to be made
purposely to delay the passage of the
bill, but said he was assured that the
minority would offer many amend
ments to tlie schedules. Senator Smoot
also announced that many roll calls
would be demanded.
In the debat today on the matter
of makinir public briefs filed by man
ufacturers with the finance sub-com
mittees Senator Towr.send. of Michigan
Traced in a colloquy with Senator
Simmons relative to alleged threats of
manufacturers to reduce wages and the
counter-Intention of the Administration,
through the bureau of corporations, to
investigate concerns which miirht re
duce wages following tariff reductions.
Townaend Dfinan Am Instant.
"I the Senator aware,"' asked Sena
tor Townstnd. "of any conditions exist
ing; which will make possible this pro
posed coercion on the part of the Gov
ernment as indicated by the Secretary
of Commerce?"
"Remarks of the Secretary relating to
investigations of such matters," said
Senator Simmons, "have grown out of
threats constantly made by the protect
ed Interests that they would reduce
watfes unless they are permitted to re
tain the excessive tariff rates."
"Can the Senator give any specific
cases where such threats have been
made?" Senator Townsend continued.
"I can refer the Senator to the hear
ings before the ways and means com
mittee, where statements were repeat
edly made by manufacturers that if
duties were reduced they would be
forced to and would cut wages. I also
would refer him to the briefs filed with
the finance committee, which are full
of such statements."
Warnings Are Referred to.
"Does the Senator construe as a
threat the statement of a manufacturer
that certain changes would force Mm
to curtail expenses?" asked the Michi
gan Senator.
"The Senator may construe it as he
sees fit." Senator Simmons concluded.
"Call it a threat or a statement, but
the Secretary of Commsrce had refer
rnce to these constant warnings by
representatives of the protected in
dustries that they would not suffer in
their own pockets from tariff reduc
tions, but would shoulder the loss upon
their employes."
Prolonged discussion centered on an
effort begun by Senator Penrose to
have the names of manufacturers who
appear before the finance sub-committee
submitted for the benefit of the
minority. He accepted an amendment
by Senator Smith, of Georgia, for sub
mission of names of manufacturers
whr call on minority members of the
committee and another by Senator Reed
for making public a record of manu
facturers who appealed to the finance
committee when the Dlngley and
Pay n-Aldrich bills were under con
sideration. Inane (iors to Committee.
The Penrose motion with amend
ments was about to pass when Sena
tor I.ippltt proposed another which
would require immediate publication of
nil briefs filed with the finance com
mittee. Thereupon Senator Simmons
moved that the whole question be re
ferred to the finance committee and
the motion was curried 43 to 21.
Senator Newlnnds addressed the Sen
ate at length on his tariff programme
proposed at the opening of the extra
sesrlon. which would provide for a
gradual reduction of the tariff and for
an investigation into tne wisoom or
crenting a tariff advisory commission.
"I hope this opportunity the first
the Democratic party has had in many
yrsrs of basing action on intelligent
Information Instead of more juggling
adjustments between industries and
sections will not be lost," he said.
Senator's Stone's sub-committee was
engaged in consideration of the metal
schedule- Though Senator Stone denied
reports that the committee had made
general reductions from the 1'nder
wood rates, some items have been re
duced. One of these Is said to be
structural steel.
Senator Kenyon. of Iowa, has intro
duced an amendment to put aluminum
on the free list. This Is in keeping
with his proposal to put all products
of monopolies on the free list.
"Jokers" Are 'Wotelied For.
Senator ReeJ severely criticised the
Republicans for having In the employ
of the finance committee during consid
eration of tariff bills men who were in
terested in the National Association of
Woolen Manufacturers, and ha read
from letters of S. N. D. North, who was
secretary of the association, who ad
mitted having served as a clerk to the
finance sub-committee when the tariff
bills were up.
"Wtirn the Democrats get through
with this bill." said Senator Reed. "It
mar contain some mistakes, but it will
contain ro Jokers by paid employes of
the woolen trust or other manufactur
ing interests."
yachtsmen preferred that the race
should be with yachts of any other
length.
"In accepting the- challenge, the rep
resentatives of the New York Yacht
Club have held Sir Thomas to the 75-
footer named In his first challenge,
evidently prelerrinar to race with
yachts of th: ,, length.
"I consider this decision highly sat
isfactory because it means a departure
from races between extremely freak
ish yachts of a 90-foot length, and :
consider that it means more frequent
racing for the America's cup hereafter.
Sail Area Not to Be Large.
"It is now agreed that the contests
will be with yachts of a wholesome
type. The New York Yacht Club rules
in fact produce big-bodied yachts like
those built under the international
rules here."
As ted whether the British boat
woull be designed to carry the largest
sail area Dosaible. Mr. Nicholson re
plied
"Tl e sail area will be moderate, com
pared with her size, because, under the
rules governing the race, excessive
sail area will be heavily penalized."
Designer Nicholson added that he
had prepared plans for a freak boat.
but that he had already commenced
work on new plans, and hoped to
launch' the challenger in March, 1914.
Sir Thomas Lipton has not selected
his skipper, but it probably will be
either Captain Edward Sycamore, com
mander of the Shamrock IV, or Cap
tain Wrlnge. He also expects to take
the Shamrock IV over to aid in tuning
up the challenger.

trem tj-pe produced under that rule,
having an enormous sail area, a 75
footer was large enough.
"In acknowledging the challenge.
te New York Yacht Club apparently
did not understand Sir Thomas
meaning because they asked whether
he intended to race under the old rules
or the rresent rules, sir Thomas re
plied: "'Gentlemen. I challenge you: you
choose the weapons. and said that he
was quite willing to race under the old
rules.
Smaller Type Thought Iletter.
"As this, however, was really alter
ing what he Intended to be the terms
of the challenge, I advised him that
there was no longer any necessity to
adhere to the 75-foot length, and sug
gested that he race with a 90-footer
under the present New York Yacht
Club rules. Sir Thomas agreed and

SACRAMENTO, May 20. (Special.)
Disguised as Japanese, tho Portland
delegation to the Pacific Coast conven
tion of Advertising Men now In session
here, today caused Hiram Johnson,
Governor of California, to miss fire on
a speech for the first time in his life.
The Governor yesterday signed the
alien land ownership bill and it oc
curred to Delegate Woodruff to bur
lesque the event.
Governor Johnson was called up on
the telephone and asked to receive the
Portland delegation. He fixed 12:15 as
the time of the visit. At the right time
the tip went out from Portland head
quarters and all the admen In the city
massed in front of the Sacramento Ho
tel to take part
Headed by the Los Angeles band and
with Mildred Tucker in the lead, the
Northerners emergd on the strets wear
ing klmonas and Japanese hats, their
faces streaked with paint and carrying
umbrellas. They were followed to the
State House by hundreds of other dele
gates and citizens of Sacramento.
Johnson Greeted In 'Japanese.
The Portland visitors marched into
the private office of the Governor, as
he was signing bills and greeting him
with a bow uttered something that
sounded like "Ohio." Then Percy C.
Arlett stepped to the front and pro
ceeded to read the following address:
Oh hi rum: English talk not easy
for lowly Japanese, but Augustness,
you berry smart man. While we have
admiration much for Highness Teddy,
humble Japanese think much more bet
ter about you. We also smart nation.
White man make 10 month from land.
He spend $15 a month. Japanese man
make $25 month from same land and
save him all. But you have too much
smartness for Japanese. You sign bill
before Japanese get all land. Now we
never get Japanese Governor of Cali
fornia. But Augustness, we now offer
you saki, and say you let us live in
California and be your bosse. We let
you live in Japan and be your boss,
too."
Governor Johnson tried three times
to talk, but ended each effort by say
ing: "This state is honored by a visit
from a live lot of people like you from
Portland. The State House is yours."
Delegates Pictures Taken.
Then the Governor went out on the
street and had his picture taken with
the delegates. As he held Mildred
Tucker in his arms he remarked: "This
is what we are saving California for."
It is believed tonight that the Seat
tle, Tortland, Spokane, Sacramento
combination has won and that Vancou
ver will be the place of meeting for
1914. Joseph Blethen will be re-elected
president.
The work of the convention is being
entirely devoted to papers and discus
sions concerning the best methods of
securing results from advertising and
to methods of suppressing advertising
that misleads the public. Plans for co
operation with all newspapers to bring
about such a result will be suggested.
The admen were guests tonight of
the Tuesday Club. Portland entered
the hall in a body and carried their
Hose float, with Mildred Tucker In her
chair. Portland has spotted the town
with posters of the Rose Festival and
has distributed two tons of literature.
