SIXTEEN PAGES TODAY. , PRICE: FIVE CENTS SOUTH S SENATORS THINK EMERGENCY TARIFF IS A FAKE Convinced That Proposal Noth 5 ing Short of a "Sop" To The Solid South .MAKING OVERTURES TO DEMOCRATS FOR VOTES Simmons and Overman Hot , Taking Alleged Tariff Seri ously; Senior Senator Says This Is No Time For Tariff Legislation; Sees No Heed Tor The Measure The New and Observer Bureau. 603 District National Bank Bldg. B JL'E. POWELL tBy Special Leased Wire,) Washington, Dee. 20. Southern Sen ators earn out of a Democratic caucus thti morning thoroughly convinced that th alleged emergency tariff propoaal of the Republicans initiated in the House of BepresentatiTei by Represen tative Green, of Iowa, ia nothing short of "aoa' to the solid Booth and this conviction strengthened the 'belief formed with the , introdnetioa of the hill that the minority would resist this particular piece of legislation. After carefully analysing the aitu tion, several 'of the Southern Senators, notably Simmons and Overman, of North Carolina, Harris, of Georgia, and Dial, of Booth Carolina, reached the conclusion that a tariff measure which originated as an emergency measure is "a fake tariff pure and staple. While no Senator was willing to bo quoted as making the stateajnent, it ia understood that several of them -feel as if the Be- cublieans are makins? aa adroit over tare to the Democratic aide for Totes to pass a tariff bill over the veto of the President Would Veto Measure. Introduction of the Green bill carry ing a duty on wheat, beans, cattle and wool was noted in this correspondence several days ago aad at the tune ref erence was made Math fears among the Bepublicans aaMo , the fate of a tariff bill at this time even if it is passed by both branches of Congress with lie pa hi ican majorities. President Wilson, Senate leader say, would an questionably , veto any such a proposal , for the reason that he doesn't believe an emergency exist to justify the en actment of legislation radically at va rianee with Democratic policies. The Democrats, especially the South era Democrats,' were opposed' to this wheat and wool tariff although willing to concede that importations are affect ing the domestic market. Nevertheless, they were unable to follow a Republi cs tariff measure which would boost the price of products the Southern farmer has to buy oa the market. Then cam the happy suggestion of tha Bepublicans that they put a tariff, on cotton. Anything tq attract the in terest of the Southerners and they might have suggested strawberries with the same chance of seeing the Democrats grab the bait. Tha cotton that come into this country from Egypt aad India has about as much effect oa the New York market aa hot house oranges grows in North Carolina have oa the Florida fruit exchange. .. Peanat Propoaittsa. The well-kkown peanut presents a different proposition to the Southern ers and they are literally bonabarded by day and shelled by night with tele grams from peanut growers and peanut associations begging them to support a tariff oa peanuts and peanut oil. Chinese importations are ruining the home markets, say the growers aad their representatives. The similarity of telegrams and litters reaching Southern members of Congress indi cates there is a well organized lobby behind the movement to put a doty oa peanuts and peanut oil. Senator Simmons laughed at the cot toa proposal this morning and the jun ior Senator did aot take it seriously. Tha senior Senator is of the opinion that there may bo some reason to eoa ' alder the Wheat and wool provisions of th Green bill, but doubts whether the Democrats ought to support the pro gram er not. Benaior uarar unuri wood, of Alabama, ia aaderstood to be opposed to the entire program. This is not the time for tariff legis lation any way," the senior Senator said this morning. The tariff proposals will come with the aext session of Con gress, aa the Bepublieaa leaders them selves have indicated. I ea conceive of as emergency existing bow that would warrant-the passage of the Oreea WO." There would seem to be no reams why, if it is thought advisable to im pose a tariff upon these articles, actios should aot be held until there ia a gaa eral revision," the Senator explained. Drawbacka of BHL r "I understand also thtt a number of .manufactured product are included in : "the bill which do not ia any material V way differ from other manufactured products which likewise eaa wait uatil there is a general revision of the tariff. - "Under the circumstances I think th general feeling among the Democrat is that the mil propose as ia ra e eaee a tariff bill as distinguished from aa emergency measure and that there is aa effort under ta guis or omer - geaey to occurs preferential tariff ac tion ia favor of certain particular prod acta and industries aad to obtain prob ably aa undue amount, oven from a Bo ' publics standpoint, of tariff protection and for this "reasea tha bill, when it comes to th Senate- should go through th usual course of refereae to th I'inane Committee aad givea do con sideration and diseaasioa whea it reaches th Senate. . - "There ia ao iateaUoa oa th part of Democrat ia anwayto obstruct this legislation and therr-vTDl be a aad a discussioncertainly no filibustering tactics will be resorted t or thought of.

Ho in small in sice and swore he was only 16 years of age. He made a good witness and hist story was weak only in that he did not account accur ately as to where he was and what he did between 8 and 10:20 on the night of Linnard's murder. He arave the court a new man to think about, one who had not been mentioned heretofore and who tha folk here from Hickory appear not to know.

Dock swore he aaw Heavner and Glenn together at the Hickory depot and that about 8 o clock Heavner hired his Ford pay ing him $5 for the- ase of it snd that the last time he saw Glenn Lippard alive ho drove off up1 Ninth Avenue with Bud Heavner in his ("Dock's ) car.
