OREWMAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 24. President Wilson
seems to have the tariff situation well
in hand, notwithstanding repeated mur
muring among: Western Democratic
Senators, who have it in their power
to force material changes in the Un
derwood bill, and unless there is a
change of heart at the White House,
the tariff law will be signed in sub
stantially the shape in which it left
the House.
From time to time there is specula
tion as to what might happen if a few
Western Democratic Senators, repre
senting wool and sugar growing states,
should Join with the Louisiana Sena
tors and form a combination to defeat
the sugar and wool provisions of the
Underwood bill. Up to date it has been
impossible to induce any of the Sena
tors who have figured in this specula
tion to declare themselves publicly on
the bill, and their timidity leads to the
conclusion that they will content them
selves by expressing their disapproval
of free wool and free sugar, and will
then vote for the bllL
Hons Makes Wllso. Strong.
The President is strong in the tariff
fight because he has the House of Rep
resentatives with him. In reality the
tariff fight is three-cornered, and when
two sides combine it is practically im
possible for the third side to override
them. In this instance the President
and the House have combined in in
dorsing free wool and free sugar after
three years. The House took this
stand largely at the behest of the
President, and the President has an
nounced that he Is not In a frame pf
mind to compromise or alter his opin
ion on these features of the bllL
If the President and the House stand
firmly together, they can compel the
Senate to come to time: they can de
feat any amendments the Senate may
make, and no one knows this better
than those Senators who are dissatis
fied with the Underwood bill In its
present form. These Senators recog
nize that amendment of the wool and
sugar schedules by the Senate would
be futile so long as the President and
the House were firm. For that reason
some of them, at least, are not dls-
h,Hb with their nnrtv. feel
ing that a disagreement with the House
will only result in me ultimate nmu
bling of the Senate.
Boltlag Made Dlfrirnlt.
it ha been nointedlv indicated by
Unitnr Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, that free wool and
ultimate free sugar will be retained in
the bill when it is reported to the Sen
ate, these clauses of the House bill re
maining Intact. It Is also unaerstoou
generally that when the tariff bill is
reported "to the Senate the Democrats
of that body will caucus and bind the
Democratic membership to the support
of the bill aa reported.
This will further embarrass those
Senators disposed to bolt, and will cor.
respondingly strengthen the President
In hia stand, for once the bill Is report
ed to the Senate carrying free wool and
free sugar and the caucus indorses that
programme. Democrats refusing to sup
port the bill will be called on to break
with their party and this wilt be a
rather serious thing to do so most of
them think. It is for this reason that
most Western Democrats intend to go
into the caucus, abide by its decision,
and where they disapprove the caucus
action express their disapproval and
vote for the bill as reported.
r.rertaiaty Kelt for Three.
Administration leaders are confident
they will win in their tariff fight, al
though there is uncertainty as to the
stand of a few Democratic Senators at
the present time. Real concern is felt
at present only over the two Senators
from Louisiana and Senator Walsh, of
Montana. The Louisiana Senators, it is
admitted, will vote against the bill as
i it nrnvtri for free sugar.
either Immediately or at the end of
three years, and Senator amn is op
posed both to free sugar and free wool.
Karly votes, however, have indicated
that Senator Poindexter. who is obli
gated to the Democrats. Intends to vote
with them on- the tariff, if his vote is
needed, and in the event he does, it will
need five Democratic votes against the
tariff bill to prevent Its passage. It

dissenting Democratic votes can be
found.

Tk. tia of the accident wa the
overburdening of the pier. The over

statement tonight, was due to tne oe

doors had been unlocked at the proper
time, it was asserted, the crowds could

the pier could be emptied of its tangled

Dead and seriously injured alike
were laid In rows on the sands of the
beach in the mid-day sun. while scores
who had sustained less serious injuries
wandered dazedly about seeking miss
ing relatives or friends. Several of
those taken to hospitals were found
unscathed, but suffering from nervous
shock. Many women and several men

sition Feature In 1915.
DETROIT. May 24. "Doctrinal unity
is a hopeless task in Protestanl " the
only doctrinal unity I would sta !or
would have to be on the basis of the
doctrinal views I hold personally, and
so It Is with most Protestants, I be
liever." said Dr. Shaller Matthews, dean
of the school of tneology of the Univer
sity of Chicago and president of the
Federal Council of Churches of Christ
of America. In an address today before
the Northern Baptist Convention.
Dr. Matthews was discussing' the
movement towards unification of all
Protestant denominations. "If the Fed
eral Council attempted to compile a
creed that would embrace all denom
inations." he said.. "It would be a creed
so like the New Testament that it
would be a useless task to compile It."
Before Dr. Matthews delivered his
address the convention had received the
report of the executive committee of
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America and had listened to
remarks by Charles S. McFarland, sec
retary of the council, who recommend
ed that the convention, adopt resolu
tions calling on civil authorities of
San Francisco, the State of California'
and officials of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition to keep the exposition free
from exploitation by commercialized
vice. Resolutions to that effect were
adopted.
The report of the Federal Council
showed that 28 Protestant denomina
tions are now enrolled .under its banner.
