Pror<>**4 LaF??Helte Amendment De?
feated?-Two Demovruts Voting
with Repahlh hw? Senator Smoot
Predkt* Downfall of Democratic
Party Rc< ause of Tariff Hill.
Washington, May 1*?Democratic
leaders In the senate were Indorsed
late today In their determination to
refer the Underwood tariff hill to the
fiance committee for consideration
without public hearings. The Pen
rose-La toilette amendment directing
the public hearings he held was de?
feated by a vote of 41 to 36 and the
motion of Senator Simmons to refer
the bill waa then passed without a
roll call.
Two Democrats, Senators Ransdell
and Thornton of Louisiana, voted for
the Republican amendment. Senator
Polndexter of Washington, a Progres?
sive, voted with the majority. Senator
Jones of Washington, a Republican,
who previously had determined to
vote against public hearings, an?
nounced that he had changed his
mind because the finance subcommit?
tee were giving private hearings to
some interests which he thought
should be public.
The closing day of debate on the
1mu? of hearings was enlivened with
discussion of the Democratic platform
snd its bearing on froe .sugar.
Senate r James of Kentucky, who
vigorously defended the stand taken
by President Wilson for free sugar,
declared that the party had stood for
free sugar and campaign.* * on it, and
defied the Louisiana senators to find
a man whom President Wilson ever
had told he wss opposed to free
sugar.
Senators Smoot, LaFollette and
Clark of Wyoming wound up the de?
bate on behalf of the public hearing
amendment. Senator Smoot predicting
that the Democratic party would be
Put out of power for another quarter
of a century as a result of its tariff
btIL
"The edict h*? gone forth, ' said
Senator Clark. The real vote on this
tariff bill will he taken here as in the
house, where it waa taken in secret
caucus 1 know there are Democrats
here who do not believe the bill is Just
and righteous altogether, who are
willing to bow the head to the de?
mand of office and ease the lash of
party expediency."
Senator 8muot declared that the
Democratic hapdbook which he called
the Democratic "tariff bible" wan be?
ing largely relied upon by the finance
committee members and thut much
of the information was erropeous,
and If followed would be "absolutely
runlous."
He described how a manufacturer
had met an importer coming out of
one of the subcommittee rooms and
described to him an item on which
he thought there had been a mis?
take. The importer, Senator Smoot
said, replied that there had been no
mistake because he wrote it himaelf.
Senator Reed asked for the name of
the Importer, saying it would he in?
teresting to learn whether importers
were writing the bill.
'1 haven't a doubt of It." sa d Sen?
ator Smoot. "Give um public hearings
and that can be found out."
Senator Smoot declared that Eng?
land, Germany, France and every
other foreign country wan rejoicing
over the Underwood bill. "1 have a
collection of articles from all over
the world," he added, "showing how
every foreign manufacturer m prepar?
ing to enter the Aim rl U maiket. It
means for every dollar's worth Im?
ported Ano n. ,tn labor will bo re
aucea.
Senator Ui Toilette favored open
hearings, he said, because It waa of
the greatest Impoitume that the
widest publicity he given tariff sub?
jects.
"I believe all lef 'slutlve business
Is pubH wWmmmm," said Mr. La Fol?
lette. "I think even the door, of ?he
caucus of the two great political par?
ties or of all political parties should
stand open."
(Staatrman Simmons announced that
If the senate decided against open
hearings the question submitted bj
h ro to be asked nuuuitm Hirers WOUld
ba sent out to all parties Mho had
? led briefs or appeared before the
I>emocrats of the flame ? omm*n> >
Answers to the question Would be
asked, he said.
Senator Newland lesurned his
speech after the vote and closed v\lth
a warning to the Democratic patty,
He said that revision downward had
been promised the country, but got
free trade.
The finance committee will no et
neat week to hOOjf BpOOCtaOS from the
subcommittee* engaged In considera

l*rcllmlnnr> Today.
Aiken. May If.?C*pt J. M. Rich
ardson. a candidate for adjutant gen
eral three years ago, and until recent- I
ly a member of the staff of the gov?
ernor, was arrested today on a war?
rant charging him with urson. The
warrant was sworn out by R. A.
Wharton, a deputy from the othce
l of F. II. Me Master, State insurance
commissioner.
j Before daybreak Saturday morn
Ing. April 19, a barn and storehouse
la-longing to Mrs. J. M. Richardson
were destroyed by tire. The buildings
destroyed were on the lot on which
UM Richardsons resided. In addition
to this being the third tire on the
Richardson premises within the past
( few years, an atlidavit made by Mar
i tha Frazier, a negro woman, alleges
that on Thursday, a few days be?
fore the tire, she stored with Capt.
jKichardson a lot of furniture and
household goods; that the morning
after* the lire she was told by Capt.
Richardson that her goods had been
destroyed; that learning that her ef?
fects had been removed the day be?
fore the tire to Capt. Richardson's
farm a few miles in the country, sho
located these and under claim and
delivery proceedings regained posses?
sion of them. Richardson had in?
surance in the sum of $600 which he
collected without difficulty,
Deputy Wharton bus been in Aiken
investigating events connected with
the fire for the past week or ten
d; ys.
Capt. Richardson was placed in
jail today and stated late this after?
noon that the charges against him are
only a "frame-up." He attributes his
arrest 10 politics and persecution.
He states that the furniture which
the Frasler woman stored with him
had been taken under a mortguge
held by R. B. Carter, but that the
woman had paid the mortgage and
he had endeavored to get her to
move her goods, and explained that
a part of her goods had been removed
to his farm several months ago be?
cause ho had no room lor them in
town.
Until a short while ago Capt. Rich?
ardson was commander of the local
military company, the Aiken Rifles,
which was mustered out of service a
few months ago. In the buildings
which were burned he had stored u
lot of property belonging to the mili?
tary company, and when the liremen
arrived they were prevented from
! fighting the lire by the explosion of a
large number of cartridges which en?
dangered their lives. Capt. Richard?
son sustained a slight injury by the
explosion of one of these cartirdges.
A preliminary hearing will be held
tomorrow morning at which time
Capt. Richardson will apply for bail.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY LIKES
SIMPLIC ITY INTRODUCED BY
PRESIDENT WILSON.
Informs! Lawn Parties Glvon Weekly
by President Very Popular Social
Affairs in CnPttftl?Lack of Osten?
tation a Feature.
Washington. May IS.?Washington'
society is beginning to see and like
the simplicity and lack of ostentation
p/hlch surrounds the home life of the
Wilson family in the White House, j
In nothing is this more noticeable:
than in the weekly garden parties
which are now being given on the)
lawn just to the south of the execu?
tive mansion. There free America?J
It might be said?meets for the hour
for you may Und In Mrs. Wilson's'
list of invited guests every kind of i
free American citizen, high, low, big
and litfle, men and women, they arc
there.
With simplicity as the moat Import
J ant element of these weekly gather?
ings under the stately oaks that throw
their magnificent shade across the big
White House garden, spend an hour
there and see who you will meet.
First and formost you may either
1 ride of walk as you may wish. You
may use your auto, call a taxi, travel
In a one horse shay, pay your nickel
'and use the car or walk, because it
makes not one bit of difference. You
wdll meet your friends doing either
or all. Some you thought would
I motor prefer to walk and some who
'might be thought to walk travel In
{the big touring car. So there you
are, for the locomotion part. Just
travel any way you like.
Pass quickly through ihe "hat
box"?that abominable place at for?
mal winter receptions? nod at the
waiting negroes that you Jive neith?
er ov? rccat nor hat to deposit, ami
you are out under the stately oaks
and only at stone's throw from the
president and Mrs. Wilson and their
military aides.
With that cordial and merry smile
with which the president meets hi*
visitors and the gracious reception
you get from Mrs. Wilson, you pass
on to mingle with free America for
the hour you have been invited. Now
there is no formality, go wherever
you please, listen to the music of
the marine band, watch the sparkling
waters from the White House foun?
tain, chat a little here and a little
there, then make ye ir way over to
where refreshments have been pro?
vided. This is the routine for those
whd have been fortunate enough to
receive the coveted bit of paste board
which bids them to the White House
for the hour.
Hut the real feature of the occa?
sion?If there is any one feature
above anotaer?beyond the president
and his charming wife Is the abso?
lute lack of conventionality in dress.
You may go In your business suit and
be entirely welcome. A light suit or
a dark one, a Panama hat or any
other kind will do just as well. You
may wear the conventional stove-pipe
kind and the long tailed Prince Al?
tert and it will make absolutely no
; difference. You may be certain that
anything you may wish to wear will
be In taste so far as the men are
concerned. You will see workers
from the business orllces, the house
member with the typical black slouch
hat and long tailed coat, the sena?
tor, with maybe more dignity but
just the same clothes, and the politi?
cian, the cabinet member and the
newspaper man all there, talking and
jabbering away just like the mem?
bers of one big family. The men
ma: dress just any way they like
when they go to these affairs and get
there also any way they like. With
the ladies it is a little different, al?
though it can not be said that the
same degree of elaborateness pre?
vails as at the formal winter enter?
tainments. They are there with the
very prettiest of spring creations
helping to make time pass pleas?
antly.
There is perhaps nothing that
brings the people into (loser contact
in an informal way and which tends
to make them realise that the presl
deni and the members of his family
are just like other people after all
than these garden parties. The band
plays "America," the people shake
hands with each other and their
own president ami they are glad that
Ihey are Americans, this (are-free
happy crowd. It is indeed something
Worth seeing and more than that
worth thinking about, these lawn
parties under the stately oaks.
