RECIPROCITY WINS
BY 1 BIG MAJORITY
The Differential on Sugar is
Removed.
A SCENE OF EXCITEMENT
The Chair Overruled and the Amend
ment Passed.
THE VOTE ON THE BILL IS 247 AGAINST 52
The Attempted Republican Dicker Which the
Democrats Failed to Embrace Provoked
From the Majority Side Some
Rather Hot Language.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., April 18.—The Dem
ocrats and the Republican insurgents
rode rough shod over the House leaders
today when the voting began on the Cu
ban Reciprocity Bill. They overthrew
the ruling of the chair in committee of
the whole on the question of the ger
maneness of an amendment to remove
the differential from refined sugar dur
ing the existence of the reciprocity agree
ment provided for in the bill. The vote
to over-rule the decision of the chair,
made by Mr. Sherman, of New York, was
171 to 130, Republicans to the number of
37 joining with a solid Democratic vote
to accomplish this result. Having won
this preliminary victory the amendment
was adopted in committee, 164-111, and
later in the House by a stil! larger ma
jority, 109-105. On this occasion 64 Re
publicans removed with the Democrats
for the amendment. The bill wag then
passed by an overwhelming majority,
247-52.
An anlysis of the vote shows that 124
Republicans and 123 Democrats voted for
the amended bill and 42 Republicans and
ten Democrats against it. Mr. Grosve
nor, of Ohio, was one of those who voted
against the bill. The voting on the bill
was the culmination of a long struggle
which began almost with the inception
of this session of Congress and after two
weeks of continuous debate during which
much bitterness was aroused. Today’s
debate was of an lively character, the
feature being the echoes of last night's
Democratic caucus. To that caucus the
defeat of the Republican leaders who
sought to pass the bill without amend
ment is attributable. Previous to the
holding of the caucus the Democrats were
very much divided and the opposition of
the Republican beet sugar men showed
.signs of disintreguting. Today when it
became apparent that the Democrats
would act together the beet sugar men
decided at a meeting attendd by 32 of
them to take the bit in their teeth and
cver-rule the chair. As soon as this eoin
-1 ination was effected the Republican lead
ers realized that they would be defeated
so far as the removal of the differen
tial was concerned and Mr. Payne, tho
Republican leader, contented himself with
warning his beet sugar colleagues that
in removing the differential they were
taking off a bit of protection placed in
the Dingley bill, especially for the bene
fit of the beet sugar producers.
Mr. Richaidson, of Tennessee, the
emoeratic leader, was the first speaker
loday. He stated frankly that he
doubted whether the enactment of the
bill would do much to bring about tho
reciprocal trade relations between Cuba
and the United States, which was earn
estly to be desired. But he had voted
for it in the hope that it might accom
plish something. It would at least re
duce by 20 per cent the outrageously
high rates of the Dingley law, so far as
Cuba was concerned. Those high rates
could not stand and, he said, Mr. Gros
venor's speech a few days ago was a
warning of the coining storm. He
thought the time for a revision of the
tariff was at hand, and the fact that the
pending bill began it in a modest way
commended the measure to him.
Mr. Richardson called attention to the
action of two counties in the district of
Mr. Babcock (Wis.) endorsing the lat
ter’s bill to remove the the duties from
steel and amid Democratic applause, said
that the Democrats proposed to give Mr.
Babcock an oportunity later on to vote
for the bill his constituents had endorsed.
Just before Mr. Richardson took his
seat, Mr. Bromwell, Ohio, asked him this
question:
’’Docs the gentleman from Tennessee
know anything of a reported bargain be
tween the leaders on this side and the
Democrats, by which the Crumpaeker
resolution is to be smothered in order to
aid the passage of the pending bill?”
“Absolutely nothing,” replied Mr.
Richardson.
Mr. Hepburn, lowa, arouse considera
ble exetement by bringing forward the
resolution made in the Democratic
caucus last night concerning the alleged
overtures made from the Republican side
to abandon the Crumpaeker resolution
if the Democrats from tho States threat
ened would vote against overruling tho
chair. After reading the account of the
caucus in a morning paper, he proceeded
with great emphasis to declare that the
charge, if true, or the statement, if
made, was of a very serious character.
“It charges some members of this
House with attempting to traffic with the
legislation before this body,” he said.
“It charges them with a willingness to
shelve legislation which members here
consider very important in order to se
cure the ultimate triumph of this bill.
“I do not believe it. I think the gen-
Removed.
ment Passed.
tleman from Alabama (Mr. Underwood)
must have been mistaken or misinform
ed, but nevertheless, I think it his duty
to this House to be more explicit and to
locate this offense where it properly be
longs.”
The remaining time after Mr. Hepburn
cqncluded—two hours and twenty min
utes—was divided equally between Mr.
Tawney (Minn.) who closed the debate
agairu|t the bill, and Mr. Dalzell (Pa.),
who concluded for the measure. Mr.
Tawney, at the outset defended the
course of those on the Republican side,
who had not surrendered their convic
tions that “thrift might follow fawning.”
Mr. Tawney said that this was the first
time Republican leaders had proposed
to depart from the protective theory.
The Republican paddy was 'bound in
honor to keep faith with those whom it
had induced to enter the beet sugar in
dustry.
Mr. Dalzell in closing the debate for
the friends of the bill, declared that it
was not an attack upon protection. “It
is not a revision of the existing tariff
law or its schedules. It will not harm
a single American industry or deprive
an American workman of a single day’s
wage. It is a step toward the redemp
tion of the pledge w r e made, not to Cuba,
but to ourselves when we volunteered to
intervene to right the wrongs which
she was suffering under the Spanish
regime.”
At 3 o’clock the time for general de
bate expired and the bill, which con
sisted of but one section, was read and
opened to amendment under the five min
ute rule.
FIGHT ON THE DIFFERENTIAL.
The reading proceeded amid a good
deal of excitement. As soon as it was
concluded the several verbal commit
mittee amendments were formally adopt
ed. The House then breathlessly await
ed the next move. Mr. Morris, of Min
nesota, one of the Republican opponents
o fthe bill was recognized and offered
an amendment to remove the differential
from refined sugar. The amendment was
as follows:
“Upon the making of said agreement
and the issuance of said proclamation
and while said agreement shall remain
on force, there shall be levied, collect
ed and paid, in lieu of the duties thereon
no wprovided by law on all sugars above
number I|> Dutch standard in color and on
all sugar which has gone through a pro
cess of refining, imported into the Uni
ted States one cent and 825-1,000 of one
cent per pound.”
The moment the amendment was read
Mr. Payne, the Republican leader, made
the point of order that it was not ger
mane. He argued that there had been
rulings innumerable against such extra
neous amendments.
Mr. Littlefield (Me.), follow'ed Mr.
Payne, taking the view that the amend
ment was germane. He had not proceed
ed far in his argument before he aroused
intense interest by rvrting to th report
that at the Democratic caucus last night,
Mr. Underwood stated that overtures
had been made to him in regard to the
Crumpaeker resolution.
“An insinuation has been made here
today,” said he, “w'hich has not been
repelled as it ought to have been. I re
ter to the rei>ort that at the Democratic
caucus last night it was stated that ap
pioaehes had come from this side of the
House for the Democrats to enter into
an unholy, ungodly and infamous alliance
to sacrifice human rights in order to
‘save the face’ of certain leaders or pro
tect the profits of an aggregation of capi
tal.”
Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio), was on his feet
in an instant asking Mr. Littlefield to
whom he referred when Mr. Underwood
arose and was about to interrupt him.
But tho latter was appealed to by some
of his Democratic colleagues and he took
his seat.
Mr. Littlefield in reply to Mr. Grosve
nor, said he thought Mr. Payne, the
Chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, should make a statement and the
Republican leader was just about to do
so when Mr. Underwood again arose.
“I desire to say just one word,” said he,
“I have never made any such charge as
the gentleman repeats either in a Dem
ocratic caucus or elsewhere.”
The Republicans applauded this state
ment and both Mr. Underwood and Mr.
Payne sat down.
“I have accomplished my purpose,”
said Mr. Littlefield. “I have succeeded
in vindicating the Republican majority.”
Mr. Richardson, the Democratic leader,
contended that the amendment was in or
der. He thought Speaker Blaine’s deci
sion was conclusive. As Mr. Richardson
concluded the Democrats cried “Vote,
vate,” ut several Republicans were on
their feet clamoring for recognition. Mr.
Sherman, of New York, who was in the
chair, recognized Mr. Grosvenor who
called attention to the fact that Blaine,
great as he was as a parliamentarian,
had been over-ruled repeatedly.
Mr. DeArmond (Mo.), suggested that
the ''hair should submit the point of or
der to the House. He observed ironically
that he thought the chairman had not
made up his mind. “Whether the chair
rules this amendment is in order or not,”
said he, “we will at least find out who are
for the sugar trust and who are against
it.”
Mr. Morris, of Minnesota, concluded
the debate upon the point of order with
a strong speech against it.
In a very elaborate ruling, Mr. Sher
man, of New York, wdho was in the
chair, sustained th» point of order- In
dcing to he cited a long lin*-* of prece
dents covering three-fourths of a cen
tury of parliamentarv procedure in line
with his decision.
THE CHAIR OVERRULED.
As £.oon as the decision was an
nounced Mr. Tawney appealed from the
dec’sion of the chair.
The vote was taken by tellers.
Speaker Henderson was the first mem
ber to pass between the tellers in sup
port of the chair’s ruling-
It was an interesting spectacle as the
issue was put to the test.

MAD BECAUSE LEWIS! XPOSEDTHEIRGAME
And in Their Page Some of the Radical Politi

Highway Robbery.
Mr. Chas. O- Me Michael, of Madison,
Rockingham county, was in Raleigh
yesterday. Asked about the suit as
against Postmaster Lewis, Dr. McAnally
and Policeman Webster, brought by
Pope for false imprisonment, Mr. Me-
Michael said that there was uo ground
for the suit. As to Dr. McAnaliv, he

the policeman only did his official duty.
Air. McMichael adverted also to the

Republican Leaders Paying
Poll Tax For Delinquents
In spite of Senator Pritchard’s state
ment to the contrary, it seems that the
Republicans will pay the poll tax of de
linquent members of that party.
A few days ago, a Republican in the
country approached the Deputy Tax
Collector for that township, and secured
a list of the names of all Republicans
who had not paid. The Republican said
to the Deputy that he was expecting to
have to pay the tax of a good many,
and was getting the names for that pur
pose.
postmaster outright, and so they are
trying to have him incarcerated in jail
in Virginia to compel to vacate the
office. The crime of highway robbery
is not bailable and therefore if Postmas
ter Lewis can be taken to Virginia on
this absurd charge, he would be kept in
jail until the trial. That seems to be
the game, for yesterday’s Webster’s
Weekly said:
“No doubt the Republicans are mad
and would like to frighten Lewis into
throwing up bis commission. That is a
matter for them to light out. But let
them attemp o draw any Democrat into
the fray and evidence will be forthcom
ing that will involve the big fellows in
a Avorld of trouble. The President will
be put in possession of the true facts
and will be bound to act or stultify his
convictions and violate his oatli of of
fice.
“Democrats have enjoyed the humor
of the situation, but if there must be
a seriaus side to it for THEM, they
a.re ready for business and will go in
for BIG fame.”
If that is the game it is as outrageous
a piece of business as was ever under
taken. It is nothing less than trying 1o
use the machinery of law' to execute
vengeance upon a postmaster whose
only crime is having unwillingly ex
posed the schemes of the Radical politi
cians in North Carolina- The whole
thing is a stink from top to bottom. To
remove Lewis would be to bring the
matter to the ears of President Roose
velt and show that. Federal officialdom
in Noith Carolina is guilty of flagrant
violations. That would be a piece of
business that Reosevelt would not like.
Even if he is ready to wir.k at this sort
of bsiness, Mr. Rooscveit would not
wish it advertised among tho indepen
dent civil service reformers of New'
York and Indiana. He would wish the
violators to get “a little further from
the road.”
The procurement of a true bill against
Postmaster Lewis in a rock-ribbed Re
publican county in Virginia is a piece of
malicious prosecution for the purpose of
punish a postmaster because he did not
wish to be hold up in the road- and
robbed of the per cent of his salary It
is monstrous to pretend that he is guilty
of highway robbery, when all the facts
are considered- Mr. Pope we-nt to
Madison, without credentials, and de
manded SBO of Postmaster Lewis for the
Republican campaign fund. The post
master did not have any money but
gave Fope bis note for BSO. After Pope
left with his note Postmaster Lewis re
flected that be had given his note to a
perfect stranger, who had no credenials.
and he couldn’t sleep all night for
thinking that he had been the victim of
a sharper. Thereupon he took the train
for Virginia and met Pope, and de
manded that lie return the note. Pope
affefted not to recognize Lewis, ant 1
this infuriated the Aladison postmaster,
who drew bis pistol and obtained his
notes. There is no element of the real
hiighway robbery in Postmaster Lewis’
action.
An application will be made to the
Governor of Virginia to demand that.
Postmaster Lewis be sent to Virginia
for trial on this persecution. If Gov
ernor Montague understands the true
significance of this miserable piece of
political meanness, he will not permit
the Republican politicians to use him
in furthering their petty political ven
geance.
The exposure of the methods of rais
ing boodle employed by North Carolina
Republicans has infuriated the Repub
lican bosses. Those o? them who have
gone to the extreme of procuring the
indictment of Postmaster Lewis in Vir
ginia upon a trumped-up charge of
highway robbery are the sorriest sort
of pc.litical vermin, and the decenter
pert ion of the Radical gang ought to
repudiate the whole business.

(Special to News and Observer.)
Chapel ’Hill, N. C., April 18.—One
thousand people saw the boys from the
Old Dominion State defeat the Univer
sity of North Carolina this afternoon in
a ten inning contest, by the narrow mar
gin of sto 4. From the first of the game
until the close, every inning w r as stub
bornly and strenuously fought, and it
w'as anybody’s game until the last
“Soreback” laid aside the willow.
Both teams were in prime condition
and gave a fine exhibition of field game.
For the first five innings things looked
bright for the “Tarheels,” for they put
on their batting clothes scoring two runs
in the second and one in the fifth. The
Virginians became uneasy at their op
ponents lead, and in the fifth inning, by
two singles, a base on balls and an
error, sent twm men across the slab.
Sweeney, for Carolina, was the hero
of the day. With one man on third, one
at second and two outs staring Carolina
in the eyes, he “wilfully” swatted the
ball where the Virginians couldn’t reach
it and thus scored two men.
Then the college boys went wild. “Old
Virginia is in the soup, soup, soup,”
said the rooters, and signs of victory ap
peared.
Again with three men on bases, no
outs Sweeney settled down handsomely,
twirled the leather and allow’ed the Vir
ginians to retire in one, two, three or
der. He pitched the game of his life
and had he been given proper support
in the tenth inning the struggle would
have resulted in the winning the game
for Carolina. Nalle and Mason did ex
cellent work for the visitors. A groat
crowd will accompany the team to Ral
eigh tomorrow.
