SENATE
Wilson's Programme Carried
Out When All Amendments
to Schedule Are Beaten.
FINAL MAJORITY ASSURED
Dutch Standard Color Test for Sugar
Adopted Democrats Jubilant at
Outcome and Predict Early
Final Passage of Bill.
"WASHINGTON'. Aug. It. President
Wilson's programme for free sugar in
1916 carried the day In the Senate today
when Democrats rallied to the support
of the tariff bill and defeated all
amendments to the sugar schedule.
With all but Senators Ransdell and
Thornton, of Louisiana, standing firmly
for the Administration, the Democrats
defeated the Bristow amendment for a
compromise duty; the Norrls amend
ment against free sugar, and the Gal
linger amendment against free mapl
sugar.
An amendment to abolish the Dutch
standard color test for sugar was
adopted during the fight. Under its
provisions the Dutch standard, against
which a consistent fight has been
waged since 1909, abolished as soon as
the tariff bill becomes a law, instead of
next March as the bill otherwise would
have provided.
Senator Brlstow's amendment would
have established a gradual reduction in
duty from the present tariff of 11.90 pe
hundred pounds until in six years the
tariff would have been $1.27. Under
the Cuban treaty this would have eS'
tablished a 97 cent tariff on Cuban
sugar, which constitutes the bulk of
the imports into the United States.
Kree Sugar Is AMorfd.
The proposal to put all cane and
raw sugar on the free list in 191. be
hind which President Wilson had mus
tered the Democratic majority after
long and persistent effort, came
squarely before the Senate on a mo
tion by Senator Norrls, Republican, to
strike out that feature of the bill. This
was defeated by a viva voce vote, and
Senator Norrls made no demand for a
roll call.
This proposal will come up again,
when the bill has paased its stage of
consideration, "in committee of the
whole," and advances to the next read
ing in the Senate. Senator Ransdell
of Louisiana, who gave notice earlier
in the day that he would make a sim
ilar motion, urged Senator Norrls to
wait. When 'made again, the motion
will undoubtedly call for a Tecord
vote, but Democratic leaders tonight
expressed entire confidence that they
would still have a clear majority of
at least one vote.
Xlne Votes Paired.
Senator Works Is now In California
and is not paired with any Democratic
Senator. Nine Democrats were paired
with nine Republicans on today's vote.
Without a further break in the Dem
ocratic ranks, however, the vote should
still be 48 to 47, should all pairs be
broken and all Senators return.
Should the Democrats insist upon with.
drawing existing pairs, the advantage
would be largely In their favor, as
Senators Dupont and Root, Republicans,
are now In Europe: Senator Burleigh Is
HI. and Senator Works has indicated
that he does not expect to return to
Washington for the tariff session.
Senator Simmons gave notice that he
would offer further amendments to the
sugar schedule before the bill was ap-
proved, to make It clear that existing
sugar duty of 11.90 per 100 pounds is to
continue In force until the new rate of
Jl per 100 becomes effective next March
, Senator Cummins said he believed
unless such amendments were made,
, sugar would come in free of duty from
the time the new tariff becomes law
until the proposed duties take effect
next year.
Work MvviaK Rapidly.
Democratic leaders expressed con
fidence tonight that tariff revision
would be greatly hastened within the
next week. The fight over free wool
Is still to occur, but the success today
on the sugar schedule was accepted as
indication of what will happen when
wool is reached.
Before adjournment tonight the Sen
ate had disposed of the schedule de
voted to rates on spirits, wines and
liquors with the exception of the
provision relating to the tax on forti
tied wines, and the cotton schedule was
taken up and briefly debated. Senator
l.lppitt attacking the proposed system
of fixing ad valorem duties on thread
and yarn based on the trade number
of the product.
California, arrived .here at 5 o'clock. Sat
urday night from Salem, where they
secured the signature of Governor West
to the requisition papers issued by Gov
ernor Johnson, of California, for me ar
rest of W. A. Iden, alias W.. I Dickey.
The Deputy Sheriff had three sepa
rate warrants for the arrest of the
defendant, two of them for selling
mortgaged property, the third for ob
taining money under false pretenses.
The main charge against Iden was
brought by E. L Stellar, a rancher who
resides near Tulare, wno accuses aim
of taking 30 head of cattle, mortgaged
to him, into another county and selling
them to M. Costa.
Iden was arrested here several days
ago on his return from Canada, where
he had passed several weeKs visiting in
a, number of cities. The members of
his family, including bis son. Wade,
who toured Canada with him. are
spending the Summer at Long Beach.
Deputy District Attorney Burk stated
that the cases airamst laen are strong.
He gave an interesting account of
Men's past life which revealed the fact
he was at one time a minister of the
gospel, having been pastor of the South
Methodist cnurch at Ylsalla, Cal.
Deputy Sheriff Smith left on the
Shasta Limited last evening, with his
prisoner, bound for California. Iden
did not fight the extradition as expected.
He employed an attorney here to fight
the case, but later changed his mind
and left for the south peaceably, where
he is to answer to the several charges
made against him.

Blight Preventive Out.
HOOD RIVER. Or, Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) For fear that fruit growers of
the Northwest may be prone to follow
the advices of certain people of the
Northwest, who assert that the blights
that attack pear and apple trees are
not bacterial, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has Just issued
bulletin, which has been received by-
local growers. The department's ex
perts have met with success in cutting
out the affected parts ot the trees with
a mixture of one part corrosive sudm
mate and 1000 parts water.
A portion of the report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Is as follows:
That pear blight Is a bacterial disease of
the pear tree is not open to discussion.
The scientists have established clearly the
existence of the bacteria by means of micro
scopic examination, and have reproduced the
disease by inoculating- rruu ana trees wnu
them. The verm Is the bacillus amylovorus.
It is an oval-shaped body, and is 1-18.O0O of
an inch long and 1-25.000 of an inch across,
and can be seen clearly with a high-power
microscope. Moreover, the scientists nave
niMil 4hs bacteria In the laboratories and
have used them a large number of times in
their experiments to Infect healthy trees
and fruit. Wherever this bacillus has been
introduced Into a healthy tree or fruit, the
near blight has followed. The scientists
have also proved that the disease can be
communicated from the blossoms of an
affected tree to healthy trees by bees and
other Insects.

LABOR SESSION IS STORMY
State Federation of Labor Indorses
Effort of United Mlneworkers to
Obtain Recognition Killing
of Llppiat Is Justified.
TRINIDAD. Colo, Aug. 19. Indorse
ment of the efforts now being made by
the United Mine Workers of America
to secure recognition of the coal opera
tors In District 15, waa embodied In an
emergency resolution" passed this af
ternoon by the Colorado State Federa
tion of Labor in session here.
The resolution, which also condemned
the policy of the coal operators of ira
porting armed guards and promised the
moral support ot the affiliated unions
In the event the miners should striae,
precipitated a stormy scene in the con
vention. Charges of "traitors" and "Is-
cariots of the labor cause" were made.
A deadlock still exists in the threat
ened strike of union miners, the union
leaders demanding recognition and the
coal operators flatly refusing to treat
with the organization.
Frank J. Payes, National vice-presi
dent of the United Mine Workers, de
clared today that the strike would be
called the moment it became certain
that no other hope remained of settling
the demands of the unionists.
The shooting of Gerald Lippiatt, an
organizer of the United Mine Workers,
who was killed in a pistol duel with
G. W. Belcher and Walter Belle, Bald
wln-Felte guards, in this city Saturday
night, waa Justifiable in the opinion of
the Coroner's jury which Investigated
the anralr this afternoon.
