MjUn M Washington, D. b. September 6, 191:^ The long dtawn out contest «yer the Wilson-Underwood taii^ iff bill is still dragg^R wearily icm in the Senate, and deapite the professed optimism of some of the leading Democrats as to an early termination, the end is not yet in sight. The Republican standpatters have been playing a pecular game. From the first it has been apparent that they had no hope of defeating the bill, even if all the so-called “progressive'" Republicans, who have voted for many of its indi vidual provisions, should join the old guard against the bill on its final passage. They have kept up their chorus of wails from day to day. Most of them talk as if they r^lly believe what they say. It is obvious, however, that if they are sincere in their predictions of woe, and desire co turn what they describe as a Democratic blunder to their political advantage, the best thing they could do, from a par tisan standpoint, would be to cease their tactics of delay and permit the measure to become law, because if it is destined to produce disaster the sooner it gets to work in that way the quicker and more pronounced will be the reaction against it. But it is extremly doubtful if even the most hide-bound stand patters, like Senators Gallinger and Penrose, really believe that the measure will produce “the commercial distress they have so Jteadily prophesied. As a matter of fact, the general business conditions of the county are against such a result. The' steel trade, which is universally accepted as the most accurate business barometer, is undeni ably prosperous, and it is so firmly established that the lead ing men in it have for several, years openly declared that it would not be affected by even greater tariff reductions than are contained an the pending bill. Moreover, President Wil son has managed most adroitly during the summer to discredit this standpat calamity hov/ling, and it now appears that he has successfully discounted the prob ability, if not the possibility, of any material degree -of fulfilment of these dire predictions. It may be that the tactics of the standpatters are inspired by the recognition of the fact that their prophecies of disaster are false and unfounded and that they are really seeking by this delay only to gi^?e thear tariff beneficiary friends a little longer enjoyment of the Payne-Aldrich rates. The Democrats in the House have devoted most of the week to consideration of the scandlou- sly belated Urgent Deficiency bill, which contains provision for the payment at last of the char women and page boys at the Capitol, whose wages for May and June are long overdue. No excuse is even attempted on the part of the Democratic leaders in the House for this indecent disregard of the just obligations of the Government to a number of its humblest employees. The fact that the scandal is the nat ural and inevitable outcome i^^hed for a revision of tjhst part of the biH with a slight^iiifireasiieiin i i^^tes of tax^tipii on la^e incomes.

For example, take an income of $550,000. Its possessors would be entitled to the general exemption of $3,000. He would pay 1 percent on $547,000 or $5,- 470. He would pay 1 percent additional on the sum between $20,000 and $50,000, or $300; 2 percent additional on the sum between $50,000 and $75,000, or $500 ; 3 per cent additional on the sum between $75,000 and $100,000, or $750 ; 4 per additional on the sum bet $100,000 and $250,000, or $ 5 per cent additional on th over $500,000, or $3,000 his total tax would be $28,j The Democratic Senatori cus has also adopted an ment, submitted by Clark of Arkansas, i for a tax on cotton futu cents a bale, with a s that ths tax is to be cent reen pOO; ^um Thus 20.

Ed Albright, fOrmaly a member of the Board of Aldermen, and a contracting plumber, was before: the City Commissioners this ternoon complaining of the Soih them Bell Telephone Gompanir in charging telephone rents in advance, and asking that the matter be investigated, Mayor Murphy promised that the city would investigate.

Savannah, Ga., Sept. 11—Cur rency ammounting to $71,900 in transit from the Chase National of Bank of New York, to the Sav- the disposition of the House . annah Bank & Trust Co. and to leaders to play petty ward poli tics with the most important business of the greatest corpora tion in the world- States Gos?ernmont. Brunswick and Valdosta banks was stollen from a portable safe on the Atlantic Coast Line train theUnited No. 89, between Jersey City and The House Savannah. It shouId have leaders have dem9n&tated in the ved Wednesday morning. colossal “pork" bills which they have put through, and in the long list of outrageous public willingness to vote scores of millions of the public money for their own political graft, and they are seeking vainly to cover up this graft by a pretense of economy in other lines. In or der to make this false showing economy, they have so cut down the appropriations for the ligiti- operations of the Government as to render imperative the passage of large deficiency bills. And it is in this political juggling with the just obligations of the Gov ernment that a considerable num ber of its employees, who work for the smallest salaries on the whole Government pay roll and who most need prompt payment of their wages, have been made to suffer this inexcusable delay. This week has been so unusu ally placid in Washington and there was only one flurry of ex citement, That was occasioned by an outburst on the part of some radical Democrats against certain provisions of the income the bill as reported levied suffi ciently high tax upon large in comes. The result of their pro test was the holding of a Demo* •ratic caucus, in which an agfree- the am- Its loss became known Thursday. Fifty thousand dollars of the amount was consigned to the Savannah Bank and Trust Co, here, The money was shipped by the Southern Express Com pany. W. F. McCauley, the president of the Savannah Bank & Trust Co. confirmed the loss of the ^0,000, It was shipped out of New York on Monday on Train No. 89 of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. When the sealed steel trunk in which it was sup posed to have been shipped was opened it was found tnat money had disappeared. "All that I know about said President McCauley, that the money was started to us from New York and that it nev er reached here.” The Southern Express Com pany has hurried its best men to undertake the recovery of the money or to locate the thieves. The seals on the outside of the steel trunk or safe did*not show they bad been tampered with, but th^ sealed envelopes in which the'money was contained when it left New York were slit open. The shipment was sent out of New York by the Adams Express and delivered to Ike Slit Skirts In/New Bern. New Bern, Sept. 13.—When;s well known young lady of this city appeared on the streets of this city a few days ago . attired in a gown, the skirt of which was divided on each side for twelve inches or more, afford ing a glimpse of the wearer’si lower limbs which were incasted in silk hosiery of a transparent variety, it can well be imagined that those who were on the scene at the time displayed unu sual activity in reaching some point of vantage where they might view the spectacle without seeming discourtesy. The young lady appeared unconscious of the excitement she was creating anS clamiy strolled around the basin> es s section of the city. A few of the more prudish were appar ently shocked by the affair an J openly voiced.their opinions, even going so far as to say that the cause of all the excitement; should be taken under arrest However, there are no laws in the ordinance books of the city prohibiting the wearing slit skirts and the young lady wai not molested. it >» IS No Refuading State Debt During His Term, Colunmbia, S.
