REAL PROGRESS IS SHOWN
With Evidence of Less Resistance
Than Expected Prediction Is Blade
Tariff Bill Will Be Out of
Way September 15.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Free raw
wool is the next fight ahead on the
tariff bill in the Senate and it prob
ably wilj be reached tomorrow.
The free sugar victory having been
won yesterday by the Administration
with a few votes to spare, Democratic
leaders have no fear of losing on wool,
The vote, it is expected, will be about
the same as that on sugar, with Sena
tors Thornton and Ransdell, of Louisi
ana, the only Democrats voting with
the Republicans.
End by September 15 Possible.
Progress in the last few days has
(teen encouragingly rapid and tonight
there were some predictions that tba
tariff might be out of the way by Sep
tember 15. Less resistance than was
expected developed on the cotton sched
ule. Senator Lippitt, of Rhode Island,
conducting the oppositon. He Induced
the Democrats to accept one of his sug
gestions modifying provisions, & para
graph relating to cotton cloths, end
the committee also agreed to recon
sider the paragraph together with that-
relating to table damasks. Some re
classifications may be agreed to later.
Final disposition of the cotton rates
will not be made without another dis
cussion, however, because Senator La
Follette rave notice that he would sub
mit a. substitute for the entire schedule
when the bill came from the committee
of the whole.
Free Flax aad Hemp Fought.
Senator McCumber, of North Dakota,
vigorously opposed the free listing of
nax ana nemp as decreed by the Sen
ate finance committee. He asked the
Democrats why they had retained pro
tection on the products of .the flax
mills and given free materials to the
mills.
"We have chosen to put all textile
raw materials on the free list, said
Senator Williams, "to enable us to make
greater reductions in the tariffs on
finished products than we otherwise
could have done."
Pearose ud Marline Sally.
Senators Penrose and Martlne enliv
ened the tariff debate today by a, spir
ited exchange of personalities. M&rtine
quoted Rudolph Spreckels as believing
free sugar would not ruin the beet in
dustry in the West that the Hawaiian
industry would continue, and that the
iouislana cane industry had been too
long protected.
"That the Senate may know the im
partiality of Spreckels in the matter. I
wish to call attention to his contribu
tion to President Wilson's campaign
fund," interjected Penrose. He added
that Spreckels was interested in free
sugar.
"The Senator from Pennsylvania has
lived so long under the shadows of a
boiler factory that the welding of plate
and the riveting of a boiler have more
attraction for him than the cries of
suffering humanity," retorted Martlne.
Consideration of the cotton schedule
proceeded. A committee amendment
limiting spools to 600 yards, proposed
by Senator Hoke Smith, was adopted.
CLAYTON CREDENTIALS IN
Friends of Alabama Governor Ap
pointee Depend on Senate.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Supporters
of Representative Henry D. Clayton.
Governor O'Neil's appointee to succeed
the late Senator Joseph J. Johnston, of
Alabama, decided today not to ask for
a caucus, but to present his commis
sion at once to the Senate and let the
committee on elections deal with the
Question of seating him.
Clayton's commission was presented
by Senator Bankhead and referred to
the elections committee.
Many Senators questioned the right
of Governor O Nell to make an ap
pointment without express authority
from the Legislature.
In discussing the Clayton case in
formally several Senators expressed
the opinion that no report on the valid
ity of the credentials would be made
by the committee before the tariff bill
was passed. It was suggested that as
uch a report would be a matter of
the highest privilege, it would throw
the question upon the Senate for un
limited debate and indefinitely delay
action on the tariff.
