LARGER ISSUE IS RAISED Whole Underwood-Simmons Act Is Under Pi re Kitchin Champions Administration. Measure, Con trary to His Custom. WASHINGTON. March 16. "With 13 Pemocratd and the one Socialist mem ber opposing:, the House today, by a vote of 346 to 14. passed the Adminis tration bill to retain the present tariff of 1 cent a. pound on sugar instead of permitting the free clause of the I'nderwood-Simmons tariff act to so into effect next May 1. The measure now goes to the Senate. Voting against the bill were: Repre sentatives Bailey of Pennsylvania, Buchanan, Sabath. McAndrews and Tavenner of Illinois, Callaway of Texas, Grosser and Gordon of Ohio Hilliard of Colorado, Howard of Georgia. Johnson of Kentucky, Thomp son of Oklahoma, and Van Dyke of Min nesota. Democrats, and London of New York, Socialist. Debate on the measure aroused little enthusiasm until late in the day, when Majority Leader Kitchin took the floor to close the argument. It was one of the few times Mr. Kitchin has appeared for an Administration measure durins the session. Almost every Republican member was present to hear him quizzed by the minority tariff, experts. TarllT Act Under Fire. A rapid exchange resolved itself into a general assault on the defense of the entire Underwood-Simmons tariff act. Opening with the declaration that the Republican party was the original free sugar organization of the United States and quoting from Congressional records and campaign books of the early '90s to prove his assertions, the majority leader drew attacks from ex-Speaker Cannon. Representatives Fordney, of Michigan: Cooper of Wisconsin. Green c.f Vermont and other Republican tariff specialists. The sole cause for the proposed re peal of the free sugar clause, Mr. Kitchen said, was that imports had fallen off. due to the European war, making the sugar taxes necessary to meet the expense of the Government. Incidentally be declared the Democratic party never had committed itself to a tree sugar act for all time. "I have heard a great manv r.mnle denounce the Underwood act, but 1 have not heard a solitary," single Re publican defend the Payne-Aldrich law," he added. "You repudiated the very act you passed in the first Con gress following its enactment. Presi dent Taft, at the very first opportunity after that act went on the statute books, promised the people to revise it." "The Payne-Aldrich tax I approved of then," interrupted Mr. Cannon, "and I have never apologized for it since, and I would to God it were on the statute books now." "Then you are repudiating the plat form of the Republican party in 1912," Mr. Kitchen replied, "as you promised to revise the tariff after a commission had acted and specifically declared the Payne tariff act was too high and ought to be cut down." Representative Bailey made a futile attempt to amend the bill, so as to suspend the free clause until May 1, 1917, by which time, he said, he hoped the war would be over. Motions by Representative Howard to recommit and to amend the measure so as to pre serve a tariff of one-half a cent a pound on sugar and to place a tax of 35 per cent on raw silk were over whelmingly defeated. PRINCE THANKS ITALY SERBIAN HEIR ACCLAIMED CROWDS IX ROME. BY 150,000 Veteran Troops Saved in Re treat, He Sayti, by Aid From Allies1 on Adriatic. ROME, via Paris, March 16. Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia arrived here today and was received with royal hon ors. Acclaimed by cowds, he proceed ed to the Quirinal, where he was re ceived by Queen Helena and the Duke of Genoa in the name of King Victor Emmanuel, whd is at the front. Prince Alexander said that when the history of the war was written It would be difficult to find a tale of greater endurance ad loyalty than that of the retreat of the Serbians to the Adriatic. He found it impossible to express his gratitude to the Italians, who in co operation with the French and British, saved more than 150,000 veteran Serbian troops. This achievement, he said, sealed the friendship of Serbia and Italy and pledged them to "friendly mastery of the Adriatic." Menengitis Kills Child. LA GRANDE, Or., March 16. (Spe cial.)

TWO WARS ARE FACED Army Measures Declared Ao Be Too Slow and Resources Should Be Tnt in Readiness Tor Any Sit uation That Slay Arise. CHICAGO, March IS. (Special.) Under the caption "Mobilize the Na tional Guard," the Chicago Tribune to morrow will say editorially: "The best-informed opinion is that the task before ue in Mexico is not going to be performed easily, cheaply or promptly. The situation i3 now and for sotne time will remain highly ex plosive, and war may be precipitated at any moment. Mexican popular 3euti ment has been allowed to become so inflamed with contempt and hatred for Americans that the leaders cannot keep it in hand, even if they are disposed to. Guard Mobilization Advocated. "Meanwhile two neutral ships have been sunk in the Atlantic, and active sub-sea warfare seems again under way. Otir negotiations with Germany are at the breaking point. Another day, another hour, may end them. That will bring us to the brink of the world war. "In such a situation it is criminal to rest upon a petty increase of our regu lar Army and the passage of legislation upon which it will take years to realize. Our immediate resources are small enough, but we should place them in readiness without delay. It will take weeks to get the National Guard as a whole in service form. No time should be lost in beginning. Repetition of 1898 Feared. "If this is done, many lives will be saved and our task in Mexico will be made much safer and lighter. We have had enough of the murder of hasty ac tion. We have no right to gamble on a repetition of 1898. Yet Washington should know that events may force its hands at any time and necessity will compel our wasteful strategy. "If, as we all devoutly pray, we are saved by fate from the ordeal of war, the mobilization of the guard in it self will justify what it costs. Equip ment now lacking will be provided, as it should be in. any case. Valuable ex perience will be gained and training given. The Guard will be organized and inspired. Both as a military force and as individuals the Guard and the guardsmen will be far worthier of the heavy responsibilities our system of defense places upon them than they now are or can be. "The National Guard should mobilize without delay." WOMAN SUES PHYSICIAN Malpractice Damages of $10,000 Asked for Arm Condition. CHEHALIS. Wash., March 16. Spe clal.) Mrs. Josie Olson, who was shot here by her sister, Mrs. M. H. Olson, November 2, owing to rivalry over the affections of Mr. Gibson, has sued Dr. G. W. Kennicott, a well-known Che halis physician, for $10,000 damages for alleged malpractice. Mrs. Olson's arm was badly shattered as a result of the shooting and for a time ampu tation, it was feared, would be neces sary. The member was finally saved, how ever, and now Mrs. Gibson alleges through her attorneys, that her arm was not properly handled by the at tending physician, it being, alleged that "the fingers of the hand became atrophied, and she is unable to move her right arm in a rotary manner." Mrs. Olson also alleges that owing to the treatment she is "compelled to wear long-sleeve dresses in public." CONTRACTORS REFUSE JOB Mllwaukie to Call for New Bids on Water System Work.
