PARTY POLICY IS DEVELOPED Members Will Be Bound to Op pose All Interference. LIVELY RUMPUS CAUSED Kebraskan Says He Will Xot Leave Democracy, but "Will nescrve TUght to Lead Fight for Adoption on Floor, ' WASHINGTON, July 2. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, withdrew from the Democratic tariff caucus to day because "that body voted down his amendment that would put a grad uated Income tax on tobacco production and precipitated the liveliest time the Senate Democrats have had since they began consideration of the tariff measure. Senator Hitchcock's revolt, which he later declared did not mean that he had withdrawn from the party, or that he would not support the party meas ure, served to determine that there will be a binding; resolution adopted by the caucus pledging: the Senators to support the bill as ratified, refrain from introducing" any amendments not proposed by the finance committoe ma jority and not to support any amend ments offered from the Republican side. Senator Refunea to Stay. Tt was because he anticipated such a resolution that the Nebraska Sena tor announced that he could not re main in the caucus. He Intended to introduce his tobacco tax amendment in the Senate and to lead a fight there for its adoption. Many of his col leagues who had supported him In the . vote on his amendment pleaded with him to remain in the room, assuring: him that the privilege of bringing: up his amendraenftouW be -granted with out his taking such a drastic course. Senator Hitchcock declared, however, that there was no other course open . and left the room while the excite ment was at its height. The vote on the amendment was 23 to 18. All the members of the finance committee voted against the amend ment. . . Trust Isaue Avoided. Statements were issued by Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance com mittee, who opposed the amendment, end Senator Kern, chairman of the cau cus, who supported it. Senator Simmons said: The caucus declined to . adopt the so-called Hitchcock amendment to the tariff bill principally because it did not consider it wise to attempt a tariff measure to deal, with the trust evil It was. felt that the trust question should be dealt with as a separate Question as soon as It could be reached. although, after such thorough and ma ture consideration as the great im portance of the subject required. More over, such consideration could not be now given by the finance committee the caucus and the Congress without unduly delaying final action, on the tariff bill and disappointing the pun- lie desire for its party sentiment. Tobneco Trust Geta o Sympathy. The vote on Senator Hitchcock's amendment." Senator Kerr. said, "has no significance as indicating any sym- aci. wiin mo moacco trust or any other monopoly of any member of any conference. On the contrary there was . a unanimous sentiment in favor of dras tic legislation on the subject. "Nearly all who opposed the resolu tion based their action on the theory that the tariff bill should not be loaded down with general legislation, especi ally with legislation directed against one trust and affecting none of the others. "All agreed that every Democratic iiiiorm pieoge on the subject of trusts and monopolies should be faith fully carried out by legislation care fully drawn for that purpose." Child Labor Claune Modified. Modification of the amendment championed by Senators Hughes and Thomas to prohibit the entry of goods manufactured by child labor, which was referred back to the finance committee, is assured. It was Indi cated tonight that when the' committee got through with it the claim could not be made that It was an impediment to American trade or a protection to American manufacturers. Senator Simmons said that the com pleted bill would be reported to the Senate next Monday or Tuesday, to gether with the committee report, and that the caucus would complete con sideration of the measure on Friday or Saturday.

HITGHGQCK CAUCUS WOMEN CAN BUY NO DRINKS IN CAPITAL SENATOR JON'ES FORCES FAIR SEX TO GO DRV. Filibuster Results in Denial ot Privilege in Restaurants and Summer Gardens. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July' 2. No woman in Wash ington was able today to buy herself any sor of intoxicating drink, be it mild or strong, mixed or straight. For the first time in history the District of Columbia, so far as women are con cerned, we-tt dry yesterday, largely be cause of activity of Senator Jones of Washington. The Jones-Works liquor bill went into effect July 1. Under its restrictions no liquor can be sold di rectly to women In hotels, restaurants, or elsewhere. At hotels women with escorts may have drinks served with their meals, but not otherwise. By Instituting another filibuster in the Senate Jones fortified his bill -to the extent that he is now, single handed, preventing the sale of liquor to w-omen in restaurants. Summer gar dens and similar establishments and in these places women today were not able to be served, even when escorted and when seeking drinks with meals. The bill provides that no such resort shall sell to women until it has been examined by the excise board. The law requires the appointment of a new excise board, the old one going out of existence last night, and Senator Jones Is holding up the nominations of the board recently appointed by the Presi dent. This makes it impossible Pt this time to grant special licenses to res taurants to sell to women under same conditions as hotels and until an ex cise board is -confirmed restaurants and Summer gardens' must serve only soft drinks to women ratrons. Senator Jones' filibuster is due to the fact that one member of the board, appointed by the. President, appeared before Congress in opposition to the Jones-Works bill. Senator Jones main tains that a man who publicly opposed the bill is not fit to enforce it. 1MPERAT0B AIDS CHARITY Money Paid to Inspect Great Vessel Put to Philanthropic Use. NEW TORK. July 2.
