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had withdrawn from the party, or that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.

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.

mitted to Inspect the vessel on payment

the check.

INDIAN PATRIOTISM WANES
Idaho Tribe Sad When Government
Forbids Sun Dance.
PCCATELLO. Idaho. July 2. (Spe
cial.) Angered because orders to stop
their annual sun dance came from
Washington, 1000 tribesmen from the
Fort Hall Indian Reservation, who had
gathered at an Indian farm 10 miles
east of here for a four-day observance
of an ancient tribal custom, have drift,
ed back to the reservation with all pa
triotism gone from their hearts.
They planned to hold a Fourth of
July celebration as a windup to their
sun dance, but when tho Great White
Father at Washington decreed that
they could no longer perform the sun
dance, the fires of patriotism waned.
Only tact and diplomacy on the part
of tribal leaders prevented a demon
stration when the .Washington order
was received.

BERLIN. July 2. The Berlin medical

Friendmann vaccine for tuberculosis in
any way which might appear to it most
advisable.
The decision of the society was

ing informally later, declared that if
Dr. Friedmann really desired a test
he could have it by placing 'his remedy
at the disposal of tho different hos
pitals. This statement was applauded.

Charges of $82,000,000 Falsification
of Union Pacific Books, Involv

Amazing Story. . .
WASHINGTON. July 2. A story of
misrepresentation. Impersonation of
public men and. organized effort to in
fluence Wall street financiers probably
without parallel in the history of Con
gresssional investigations was unfolded
today before the Senate lobby commit
tee. .
A prosperous-looking, self-possessed
Individual, calling himself .David . La
mar, of New York, self-describedas an
"operator in stocks" and . admittedly
the bearer of several assumed names,
was the principal in the remarkable
session. With entire abandon, arous
ing the committee to laughter at times
by his naive admissions, he told of his
impersonations, his participation In at
tempts to influence Wall street opera
tions and his association with Edward
Lauterbach, a New York lawyer, in
efforts to have Lauterbach retained by
the Morgan firm, the Union Pacific and
other great interests, to head oft Con
gressional activity in Washington.
Various Names Assumed.
He telephoned to financial menand
lawyers in the names of Representative
Palmer and Representative Riordan.
Ho assumed the guise of Chairman Mc
Combs, of the . -Democratic National
Committee, to telephone to Chairman
Hilles, of the Republican National Com
mittee. Lewis Cass Ledyard, of. New York,
counsel for the Morgan firm, was one
of his attempted victims. Mr. Ledyard
came to the witness stand today armed
with almost a verbatim account of all
tho conversations held with Lamar,
who had represented himself as Rep
resentative Palmer. As he read the
record of the conversations, In them
selves unusual in their tone, Lamar,
sitting nearby,' laughed and nodded,
saying "that's right," and slapping his
leg with apparent enjoyment.
The purpose of his impersonations,
Lamar contended, was to secure rein

GETTYSBURG, Pa., July 2. A roar

have sweltered for four days In an

Lightning cleared the air of its bur

In the vanguard of the storm was
a wind that eddied the dust in blind

their tents to lash them down. They
showed they .had not forgotten the old
days for not a tent was blown over,
so far as. reports showed tonight, and
not a veteran was injured. At the big
