REVENUE BILL IS DEBATED Galllnger Predicts Iteturn of Coun , try to Principles of Protection. Democrats Indicted on Reo ord Previous to War. WASHINGTON, Ao?. 25. The first clash of the session between so-called old-line and progressive Republicans occurred In the Senate today li the course of the debate on the emergency revenue bill. Senator Gallinger, the minority leader, criticised progressive Republicans for the overthrow or ex- , Speaker Cannon and attacks on the late Senator Aldrich, drawing- a vigorous reply from Senator Gromna. Senator Gallinger declared that cer tain Republicans who had sown seeds of discontent over the Dingley tariff chose ex-Speaker Cannon as the "Jonah" on whom to heap the burden of blame and that they preached the false theory that the high cost of living was due to the Dingley tariff. Free Trade Charge Resented. Senator Gronna insisted that the tariff had nothing to do with the overthrow of Cannon and that he was attacked only to end an era of auto cratic domination of the House. He also denounced hotly inferences that progressive Repubycans had at that time demonstrated free trade tenden cies and charged that Republicans of "the Old Guard" had sought to subject the farmers of the country to free trade In agricultural products. Republicans held the floor through out the day's discussion. Senator Gal linger predicted a return of the country to the protective tariff policy and as sailed the Underwood tariff in un reserved terms. "The history of the 10 months dur ing which the Underwood act was oper ative under normal conditions," said he, "was sufficient to justify our pre dictions, and further, to put the stamp of disapproval upon the law, which, but for the war, would have ruined most of the industries of the United States, and which, if still in effect at the close of that war. will make this country the dumping ground for all the surplus products of foreign labor. In the first 10 months of the Under wood law there was an increase of $88,000,000 in imports and a decrease of $312,000,000 in exports. Factories Closed Down. "Sugar factories closed down or were opeiated under reduced conditions, steel mills drew their fires, woolen mills retrenched, many cotton mills wore forced out of business, factories that remained open reduced their out put, stocks depreciated. 3.000.000 wage earners were out of employment, the largest percentage since 1894-1897. Freight cars to ihe number of 350.000 wtre idle, as were the locomotives and engineers, freight handlers, firemen and others depending upon their oper ation, 60 per cent of the railroad mile tute of the country was in the hands -f receivers. di idends were passed, railroad gross earnings dropped $100, 000,000 in the 10 months, or $10,000,000 a month; breadlines were the longest ever known, and there was the greatest demand for charity. "When we pre dicted these things we were called "calamity howlers,' but I am reciting bistory now. "Disappointed and suffering citizens, nrown desperate by these conditions, when they ventured to ask for relief were told by the President that the ap- Jiarent distress was "purely psycho ogicaL' Trade Balance Wiped Oat. "By June. 1915. our trade balance was wiped out and reversed, showing imports of $233,000,000 more than our exports. The record is certainly a ter rible indictment against the Democratic party, and it does not require a stretch of the imagination to predict that never again will such an industrial catas trophe occur as was brought about bv this minority-elected Administration." Senator Weeks attacked the proposed doubling of the income tax, which, he said, was designed originally to be used only in a great emergency, and Senator McCumber showed through the export statistics, had it not been for the war in Europe, the business of the United States would have been demor allied. Senator "VVadsworth criticised the principle of the revenue bill, asserting that, if it were followed in future, it wouia aeveiop into an effort on the part of Congressmen to tax commodi ties which would least affect their own constituencies. The New York Senator called attention to the fact that susr- 1". gestlons of the President for emer- , gency taxation, made in his opening message to Congress, had been entirely - disregarded. Amonsr the commodities. "- he said, which the President suggested were gasoline, .automobiles and iron .". and steel products, none of which are taxed in the pending bill. Fish Section Advocated. Senator Jones advocated a section of the pending bill proposing to prohibit the admission of halibut and salmon from the North Pacific Ocean through t-.anaaa, except in bond from an Ameri can port. The Democrats of the finance com mittee today agreed to strike from the bill the proposed stamp tax on insur ance policies, against which there has been a flood of protests. An amend xnent to the bill by Senator Hitchcock proposes a. graduated tax on news print paper selling for more than $45 a ton to check the advancing price of the paper. Senator Overman introduced . amendments to provide that the pro posed 5 per cent tax on manufacturers of materials entering Into the making of munitions, especially into gun powder, should not apply to agricul tural products. The amendment is de signed especially to exempt cotton. More than $12,000,000 has been expended by the Cigarmakers' International Union In caring for its sick, unemployed and des titute members and families during the last 89 years. f HOTEL SAINT PAUL X.

DEBATE TO BE CURTAILED Wild Horses, Say Senate Lieaders, WU1 Not Be Able to Hold Quo rum After Deficiency and Revenue Bills Pass. WASHTNGTON. Aug. 25. Congress is getting ready to adjourn next Friday, if possible, ignoring all threats of members to Dress special bills for con sideration over protests of Administra tion leaders. It is expected that a Joint resolution to provide for adjournment Friday night will be submitted to both Houses next week as soon as the general de ficiency appropriation bill has passed the House, probably on Tuesday. Dem ocratic leaders declare the discussion will be abbreviated, and that this will operate to check a threatened, pro longed fight in the Senate over the Owen corrupt practices bill, which aroused a fusillade of charges ana counter charges of political corruption yesterday. Senator Owen a determination to ae- mand a vote on a motion to take up the corrupt practices bill still hangs over the Senate, but several influential Democrats said today his motion, if he got an opportunity to make it, would be defeated. Senator Smith, or BOutn Carolina, intends to seek another op portunity to pass the immigration bill and he might get it through if it could be dor.e with ur provoking debate. After the deficiency and revenue bills are passod, however. Senate leaders on both sides say, "wild horses could not hold a quorum. To clear the way for adjournment. Majority Leader Kitchin sent urgent telegrams today to all House absen tees, asking that they return at once for the final legislative drive of the session. The House has the shipping bill as amended and the forthcoming revenue bill conference report to dis pose of next week. In the Senate it is planned to lay aside the revenue bill tj pass the deficiency appropriation bill as soon as It gets througn tne House. "When that is done," said Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance com mittee, "all general debate on the rev enue bill will halt and it will be rushed through. In the meantime Senate amendments to the House bill are being Informally considered with ways and means committee members, and a final report will be ready almost as soon as the bill reaches the House to be sent to conference. With the revenue bill passed, I do not think that anything can stop adjournment of Congress un less something entirely unexpected should develop." If anything should happen to pre vent adjournment next Friday it will be necessary for Congress to stay over un t'l the following week, as President Wilson will be in New Jersey Satur day receiving formal notification of his nomination for re-election. BRITISH AREKHNING LINES (Continued From First Page.) ' This move will make possible- a flank ing movement against Ginchy. Haig-"s troops now have the advan tage of advancing: downhill toward Flers. This village presents strong de fenses, though they are hardly of. the character of Guillemont. Thus it is likely that progress will be faster in this direction. The French, by the capture of Maure pas, cleared the way for flanking Combles, an important center on the south. The British today have opened a path along which it can be flanked from the north. The allied advanced lines have now been driven within two miles of Combles. 1 In considering the Somme battle. It must be understood that the allies are depending largely on their artillery and are unwilling to sacrifice their infantry merely to gain ground. It is interest ing to watch the .unity of action among the Anglo-French troops. One . begins an attack at the moment when the Germans assume the initiative against the other. FIGHT GROWS IX BITTERNESS German Effort to Regain Stone Quarry One of Bloodiest of War. WITH THE. BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Aug. 21, via London, Aug. 25. There has been murderous work on both flanks in the Somme region, where, with every stage of the British progress the fighting seems to have become more bitter and the artillery nre hotter. On the left the Germans hold to Thiepval and on the right still cling to Guillemont. The result last night of a German attempt to drive the British out of the edge of Guillemont, the neighboring stone Quarry, was one of the most sanguine since the war began. The British have been making fur ther progress east of Delville wood and further tightening the pinchers on Ginchy and Guillemont. They pressed forward tonight another lap toward Thiepval. and observers witnessed an other artillery curtain of fire which utterly silenced the German machine guns as the British charge picked its way among shell craters for 400 yards up a hillside, entered the German trench and sent back bunches of Ger man prisoners. All was seen clearly as if on a stage and viewed from a gallery, even to the detail of men standing on the edge of the trench and throwing bombs as they might toss biscuits into a basket. Clearing out the snipers, plodding ahead with their supplies of bombs and carrying their light machine guns, that persistent line of Infantry, under the cover of the continuous blasts from their own guns and in the midst of bursting shells of the enemy, never faltering, reached the very top of the ridge at one point for a front of 1000 yards. They were within only 600 yards of the pulverized remains of what once was the. village of Thiepval, which has become the most redoubtable position to thousands and thousands of men. Meanwhile the British kept on send ing 15-lnch shells into Thiepval and into the German dugouts which lie deep under the wreckage of houses. Spouts of dust and smoke rose to the height of 200 feet, and what looked like the bodies of men or sections of timbers were tossed about. WILSON KEEPS RUBLEE TRADE COMMISSIONER. TO BE NAMED AGAIX IX RECESS. Senate Hni Failed at One Seaalon and Refused at Another to Con Firm Appointment. WASHINGTON. Aug:. 25. President Wilson has decided to keep George Rublee on the Federal Trade Commis sion by making: another recess appoint ment as soon as Congress adjourns and to renew the fight before the Senate In December for Mr. Rublee' confirma tion. Since March. 1915. Mr. Rublee has been serving: as a member of the com mission without compensation, the 'Sen ate allowing: one session to pass with out acting: and finally rejecting; the nomination because the nominee was "personally obnoxious" to Senator Gal- ungrer. of New Hampshire, the Republi can leader.

Chair man Hurley, of the Trade Commis sion, cited court decisions upholding: the legality of his service by recess appointment. Mr. Rublee tendered his resignation several weeks agro, but was urged by the President to withhold it. 2 BOYS DROWN SWIMMING (Continued PTom rirgt Page.) arrived. Jesse Goodwin's aunt. Mrs. W. M.
