TARIFF QUESTIONS ^ SENATE'S BIG TOPIC Republicans and Democrats Clash in I Number of Arguments Washington, Jan. 27.?Republi can and Democratic senate leaders J met in head-on collision today when j1 the former started a drive to put j? through the Fordney emergency tariff bill. * * Republican suggestions of a Dem- 1 ocratic filibuster brought on the ' clash Senator Underwood of Ala- I bama, minority leader, and other J prominent Democrats denying vig orously that filibustering was in : progress or contemplated. The Dem- j < ocratic leaders expressed willingness 11 to vote after 'proper and legiti- ' mate debate," and charged that the 1 Republicans did not expect the bill to pass and sought to place the blame on Democratic opponents. I Democratic Leader Underwood ( added that the measure, even if '< passed would be vetoed by Presi- l dent Wilson, because, he said, it ' was "repugnant to Democratic tar- I iff principles." He disclaimed having i received any direct information ? from the president, however. ? Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, 1 in charge of the bill, presented a 1 proposal for a vote next Tuesday, < but it went down under objections 1 from Mr. Underwood and Senator s Simmons of North Carolina, rank- J ing Democrat of the finance com- I mittee. Senator Penrose said his 1 suggestion was made to "test the 1 good faith of certain gentlemen," * and the Democratic leaders retorted * that Senator Penrose's move was an * effort to charge the Democrats with impeding the bill. : After hours of spirited verbal ' scuffling, interspersed with some ac- 1 tual discussion of the bill's tariff c schedules, the Republicans scored a real point by forcing a recess of the senate tonight until tomorrow in- ' stead of adjournment, a move which | r operates to keep the bill before the senate for consideration immediate ly tomorrow to the exclusion of oth er usual routine business. The move to hold the tariff meas ure before the senate, forcing oppo nents and advocates to talk or vote, followed announcement during to day's partisan clashes from Senator Penrose that he intended to press the bill. When .unable to secure an agreement for voting next Tuesday. Senator Penrose asked for coopera tion from the Democrats toward se curing final action by February 15. Senator Underwood and other Democrats protested against the ef fort to fix a vote next Tuesday, considering that debate had been begun only yesterday. Senator Pen rose's proposal, Mr. Underwood de clared, was "a clear indication that the majority has raised the white flag." Senator Underwood added that he would agree to a vote after a week or ten days' discussion. Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi characterized the filibus tering suggestion as "utterly with out foundation," but Senator Mc Cumber, Republican of North Dako to, said he had "a mere suspicion" that a filibuster was planned, and * Senator Kenyon, Republican, of , Iowa, added that "apparently" a \ filibuster would prevent passage of the bill. ' During the brief discussion on the ] merits of the legislation Senator ( Harrison charged that those who | put a "joker" in the wool schedule by which most imported wool would 1 be charged a tariff of 30 per cent. J instead of the 15 per cent, rate in j the bill. This, the Mississippi sena- i tor declared, would be effected by a I provision placing the higher rate on wools which are sorted. The proposed sugar duties also , were discussed by Senator Harrison, ; who declared that, despite Republi- 1 can campaign pledges to reduce the 1 cost of living, the proposed sugar J tariff of two cents a pound would add that much to the cost to con- , sumers. Senators Smoot, Republican, of] ' Utah and Ransdell, Democrat, of J 1 Louisiana conceded that the sugar j prices would be increased in this! country to the extent of the tariff! r>n Cuban sugar and also on the do-1 mcstic crop. Both senators, how ever, argued that the raise was nec-, esary to aid American sugar pro-j ducers who, Senator Smoot said, were being forced to sell their prod uct at two cents a pound below pro duction costs. Senator Simmons ex *>rpssed the belief that the proposed ariff immediately would raise the nrice of Cuban sugar to eight cents, as compared with the present prices of about 4 3-8 cents. j \RKANSAS MOB LYNCHES NEGRO Surned at Stake After Alleged Con fession.
