Washington, Jan 27. Protectionists and tariff revisionists had a running lire in the ' House- Ways and Means Committee today which was continued tonight. The wool tariff was the issue and the manufacturers presented an almost unbroken alignment against reduction of duty on woolen cloth and ready-made clothing, "though favoring reduction of the iuty,bn raw wool. It was the tooststrehuous fight made at this session of Congress against toe Democratic plan f6r revision of the duties in the coming extra session. "Your schedule' has never been cut in the memory, of living man," suggest ed Representative Palmer, of Pennsyl vania, to O. M. Stafford, president of a Cleveland enterprise. , . Mr. Stafford contended that the tar iff could be reduced -in the event the Democratic party chose to take the responsibility' for a possible reduction of wages of the woolen mill employes. The witness testified . to 8 per: cent dividends from his mill, last year and Representative Harrison, of Ntew York, suggested that it was rather unbe coming for him, in view of the big profits of the industry,-: to hold put a threat of wage reduction. Through William-' Goldman, of New York, its president, the Association of Clothiers declared that x: while free wool was desirable, it 'was too revo lutionary and it endorsed the proposed Democratic rate of .20 per centad va Jorera oaaw'' mgg&e " ' x-g?- :t The Ndtlb'fiai Agsociatioi ' of Manu facturers, comprising 100 of the wool en mills of the country, through its president, Xohn P. Wood, of Philadel phia, presented! , a schedule of rates as a suggestiveproposition, but Mr. Wood admitted that the': schedule was ap proximately the same as the present tariff law- " .. The committee - showed no signs in the examination of changes in its ten tative plan for a revised woolen, sched ule along the lines of the Democratic bills of the two . previous sessions of this Congress 4 which provide for 20 per cent, ad valorem on raw-wool and from 35 to 5Q, per cent, on ready-made clothing and other articles. Frank P. Bennett, of Boston, editor of the American Wool & -Cotton Repor ter, argued for the re-enectment of the Wilson law" of 1894, at the outset of today's hearings. . This was a plea for entire removal "of duties upon wool and a reduction of . the tariff upon woolen goods up to 50' per cent He said that would be in the interest of both the manufacturers' and the sheep husbandry in the United States,, and declared that the wool tariff distorted sheep, husbandry by encouraging grow ers to keep unprofitable animals. The duty of 33 cents a pound, now assess ed upon scoured wool, had imposed a tax of nearly $100000,000 upon the American, people, besides hampering manufacturers, the witness said. Joseph D. Holmes,' of New York, a woolen expert, recommending ad va lorem and specific duties on clothing, an ad valorem duty on wool, with an addition duty on' clothing to compen sate for labor, and mill cost; contend ed that clothing . would be no cheaper if the duty on cloth; were removed.

C., Jan. 27. The liquor people are making a last but determined stand to defeat the-Webb liquor bill; The Kenyon bill, which is identically, the- same as "originally in troduced by Webb, ' will be voted on In the Senate February 10th. Webb is fighting hard to have, his bill reported from the i uateiary Me43Mnittee i a-ex- pects to wih.v It is believed the oppcf nents of the ' measure hope todelay a vote in the House this session by" al lowing the Senate to take action first, and then add so many radical amend ments in the House that it will be im possible .to get a vote before March 4th.' , Mr. Webb said tonight he is con fident that he will win. Former Lieut. Gov. W. C. Newland and Thos. Newland, of -Lenoir, are here.- It is understood that Thomas Newland, who is a nephew of Governor Craig, wants to be assistant District Attorney for Western North Carolina, A" strong movement -is afoot' here to make. Representative Robert N. Page chairman of the Congressional Cam paign Committee, to" succeed Repre sentative James T. Lloyd, of Missouri, who has announced his decision to give, up the place after -j his present term expires. ' Mr. Page has not de cided whether he will be a candidate for' the honor or not, but a number of his friends are urging him to run. Speaking of the possibility of Mr. Page's candidacy, Mr. .Webb said to night, in his opinion Page is the logi cal man for the place! "He is keen, alert, level headed and progressive," said Mr. Webb. "He is a veteran leg islator arid knows well the issues that would have to be fought out in a Con gressional campaign. He has ; served two years longer In Congress than Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, who has also been mentioned for the position. I relieve that the Democrats of the House will recognize Mr, Page's fitness for the chairmanship of their campaign committee, and that he has only to an nounce his candidacy to be assured the votes necessary for his election."

"M.

C, British Suffragettes Claim Politicians Played Trick - on Them FRANCHISE BILL DROPPED Suffragettes Hold Many Meetings and ; ' Declare They Will Ehter on a Period of Destruction Several Arrested. London, Jan. 27. England is on the brink; of another campaign by the suf f ragettes, in comparison ; with which former outbreaks of the militants will appear insignficant. " . Tonight 2,000 policement were en gaged in dispersing huge crowds gath ered near the parliaments buildings, shop-keepers I were boarding up show windows ana excited , .women , were maisiing imcendidary speeches in sever al halls. The .women toelieve the politiciaris have played a carefully, studied trick upon them, and the decision of the government to drop the franchise bill is likely to lead to serious conse quences. In the House of Commons . today, the speaker,' The Right Hon. James William Lowther, in response to an in quiry 'by the prime minister, announced-that if any amendments to the franchise bill (giving women the vote should be adopted, he would be oblige ed to rule that they made it substan tially a new bill, which would compel its withdrawal. Mr. Asquith thereupon announced that the cabinet had decided that un der such circumstances it would be use less to proceed'. This was announced to a icrowded House which displayed more interest in the subject than had been shown in the last stages of the home rule bill. 7 In - th meantime, . police in great numbers, mounted and afdot were hav ing 'difficulties outside the buildings kp.tniiVe-f the vast 'crowds, in cheek. l-whtte' reserve forces stationed in-cotfrt yards, in the vicinity of parliament were held in readiness to . quell dis orders of a more serious nature. . The suffragettes held many meetings tonight ' Mrs. Emelyn Pankhurst and other leaders denounced both the ene mies r and the supporters of suffrage in the cabinet for their treachery. They declared an end of the truce which the woman had observed while await ing parliament's action on the bill. 'Deeds, not words," was the motto displayed above the platform where Mrs. Pankhurst spoke. She asserted that the woman would consider hu man life scred. but would do as much damage to property as possible. Some of her lieutenants failed to agree with policy. Miss Annie Kenny, one of the most prominent of the mili tants, advocated the smashing of both property and heads. - I The executive committee 01 me ra tional Union of Women Suffrage So cieties adopted a resolution rejecting Mr. Asquith offer of facilities lor a private member bill next session. A number of speakers said the women had prepared a plan' of action which for the present was secret, but which wjjiild surprise the worul. Several women were arrested to night some' of whom declined, to give their names. "One, believed to be-Miss Svlvia Pankhurst was captured in St. Stephens. Hall leading to the House of Commons, where sne was matins a determined attack upon a large paint ing. - The police dispersed a crowd in Trafalgar Square where a man and woman- were trying to make speeches. The noted militant, Mrs. Despard, was taken to the police station with six others'. Thehig crowds which poured toward Westminster this afternoon and to night were composed mostly of men who hoped to see an outbreak of the militantnfeuff ragettes. Policement kept them: moving and drove them down side streets. Everybody -4 was good natufedtiand there was much singing and ...cheering. Practically-the whole police force will be on duty all night. Strong guards, are stationed at all the public buildings and a special, watch is being kept Mrs. Pankhurst's denunciation of the government was fiery and bitter. Th6 force of the reform bill is play ed out," she said. "Either those who framed the, bill were ignorant of par limentary procedure " and they were unfit, to occupy positions of responsi bility of they were scoundrels of the worst sort. . It . has been a mook, bat tle, all-arranged. Mr. Harcourt and Mr. Lloyd-George-were seen going arm in arm into a music hall Saturday. Can you Imagine them -saying: - - 'Well, How that we have ditched the women, let us forget about it and gp and see the '-cinematograph." The women had lost ; their touching faith iii politicians and were likely to lose their ' faith in the average man, she continued, and short of taking lives." the suffragists we're warranted in .using . all the methods employed in times, of vwav, i ' . . Mrs. ' Despard at another meeting said: '"'We are up against man-made law. . We are going" to show that the law 5ann6t , and shall not . bind women, by breaking the maws In every possi ble way. i All who are in the front of the movement don't care in the least what happens to . themselves." - - TUESDAY!

In a telegram sent to Gerieral Sickles from Gainesville, Ga Mrs-r Longstreet said she had telegraphed to the at torney general of the ' State of New York that she would raise the money among the Confederate veterans- if allowed sufficient time. "The republic whose battles you fought will not per mit your degredation.' were her clos ing words to General Sickles. v The sheriff addressed - his letter to J. P. Morgan, John : D."'

They placed the 'bond before the general and he signed it in a flowing hand. "That handwriting is not so bad for a man who is more than 92 years of age, "sheriff, he commented." It cost me $600 tp get this bond." There was a fee of $5-25 owing the county for service of the papers. Gen eral. Sickles summoned Miss Edith Wilmerding, his house-keeper, to pay it She came into the room with her hands full of pennies, tripped on a rug and scattered them over the floor. The general assisted in picking them up. When the sheriff left General Sickles shook hands with him and renewed his; declaration of friendship.

CARNEGIE A TROUBLEMAKER : ' ifi'; - T"'?.1: Trust Trial Showing Iron Mas ter Refused-to Abide by Rate Agreements.' New York, Jan. 27. Testimony in support of the contention of the gov ernment that Andrew Carnegie was a trouble-maker in the steel trade, and that the Carnegie. Steel Company was taken over, by the United States Steel Corporation because of his refusal, to abide by agreements, was heard today in the government suit to dissolve the corporation under the Sherman, anti trust law. It was given by Walter Scranton, former " . president -of the Lackawanna Steel Company and other independent concerns. t Mr. Scranton told of ' the various steel rail.,pools which existed in the steel trade before the corporation was organized, in which the Carnegie Steel Company invariably was a member. It appeared from his testimony that An drew Carnegie was responsible for the dissolution of most of the pools. "Did- Andrew Carnegie's method of competition give rise to any feeling on the part of the manufacturers against his continuance in the business?', 'ask ed E. . H. Colton, of eounsel . for the government. There was a general feeling"- that it would be a God-send if Andrew Car5 negie was out of the business," Teplied Mr. Scranton with a laugh. In one instance, dating back to 1897, the Car negie Steel Company, according to the witness, had an "inside" agreement" with the Illinois Steel Company which did not come to the knowledge' of the other members of the pool until the two companies quarreled. Then the pool broke upi "Rails sold down to $14 a ton after the break," .said Mr. Scranton, "which was wayi-below cost." : V . ;V The dissolution of thig pool,- he sajd, led to a plan, to organize the, Empire .Rail Company, which was to be a-selling, company for all the manufactur ers, but the plan fell through. , : '.'; "Wjhat individual was responsible for that," asked Mr. Colton. , y - "Andrew Carnegie. He "could not agree with the other members," , re plied, the witness. X' ' "y Subsequently another rail pool was organized, in which Charles Schwab represented the Carnegie Company and Judge, Elbert' Gary, now chairman of the Steel Corporation, represented the Federal Steel Company. . ' C "We would meet and suggest a price among gentlemen, but- often we did not. -sell at. -the price agreed upon," ex plained the'witness. This was in 1900. The Steel Corporation was organized in 19Q1, and Mr. Colton wanted to know, if by theacquirement of the Car: negie,.- the .Federal and the .National Steel companies, all consolidations in themselves, the Steel Corporation did not acquire : "a percentage of the rail capacity of the country sufficient 'to control, the price of standard rails." "I don't think they could control the price, but their, suggestions ; would -.be favorably considered, said . the- wit ness, i :--.r . . : :.i ,r . 1 Mr. Colton pointed to the fact that since" the organization of the.corpora-j - (Continued on Page Two.) ? i.

State sup eryrsion and regulation ofvthe New York Stock Exchange and the stock exchanges are advocated by Governor Sulzer in a message sent by him to the Legislature tonight. The time is ripe, in the Governor's opinion, for the State to step, in and end "flagrant abuse3, shifty schemes and clever combinations to catch the unwary and to mislead the public." To effect this he recommends the enactment of a group of laws, at least. one of which will provide imprison ment as a penalty for its violation These laws, the Governor says, should apply to certain practices which have been shown to exist by the Pujo Com mittee of the House of Representatives and other investigators. "The testimony of some of the gov ernors of the exchanges," Governor Sulzer says, "leaves no doubt, in the minds of men of judgement that the exchanges have been either incapable or unwilling to devise those measures that will effectually eradicate the evils. It is now the obvious duty of the State, it seems to me, to devise the remedies. If the State neglects to do its plain duty the State should find no fault if the " Federal Government acts in the premises." v Among the measures which Gov ernor Sulzer would have enacted into law are: "A law to distinguish clearly proper transactions of purchase and sale from those that are the result of combina tions, to raise or depress artificially the prices of securities without regard to their'true value, or legitimate supply and demand. A law to prohibit brokers from sell ing backward and forward among themselves blocks of a particular stock with the intent to deceive or mislead outsiders. v -,Alaw to prohibit brokers from sell ing' for their: own account the stocks they have been ordered to buy for their customers at the time the custom ers' orders are executed. A law. clearly prohibiting insolvent brokers from continuing to buy and sell after they beconie insolvent. - A law making it a criminal offense "tovissie any statement or publish any advertisement as to the value of any .stock or other security, or as to the nnanciai condition or any corporation or company issuing or about to issue stock or securities,' where any promise or prediction contained in such state ment is knjpwn to be false or to be not ' fairly justified . by existing ; con- ditions.',' - ;.' ' Governor .Sulzer also recommends, but leaves ' to the Legislature for de cision, -.changes in existing laws and the enactment of new laws governing short ." sales, the hypothecation of securties, bucketshops, , usury f under which head he classes the raising of callmbney rates to more than 6 . per cent):- the relations between ex changes .and the consolidation : of. ex changes.
