Is The Victim Among Influences at work against a high protective tariff, . said the President of the American Tariff Leftgue last year, was the American farmer. Now we see now well the train forces are opposing those whose be liefs ore contrary to thtii own. Until a few months ago it seemed that ar.y revision of tariff, save in the case of faFm products, would be downward. But by using the H3over argument that e higher tariff is the foundation of farm relief, the protectionists spread the word that sweeping upward re visions are necessary all along the line to save American industry from foreign competition. And so manufacturing chemists asked for increases in the chemical Schedule ranging from 30 to 100 per cent. Other industries are sure to be beard from. 1 The pretext of helping the farmer. It seems. Is being employed to get a general boost on manufactured pro ducts ? and the farmer will have to pay his share of the cost, as always. Pounds Rev. S. Fv Nicks ?

A short cir cuit In the electrical system of a 10 car Hudson and Manhattan under ground train tonight gave New York second major subway panic within a year. OI the approximately 1,500 people who were on the train, it was estimat ed that as many as 300 received first aid treatment in some form. St. Vincent's .Hospital treated ' approx imately 100, although about 50 of them were so severely hurt that they could' not leave the hospital almost^ Immediately. Three hours after the accident na death had been irecordfcd. although several persons had been se verely injured and it was feared one or more might die. The accident occurred in the so called Hudson or McAdoo tube. The train had started from Thirty-Third and 'Broadway, its termtnds, at about g:30 p. m. .-'It was -loaded full. More than half of the passengers were girls, clerks in stores, stenographers in offices and like employes of up town New York business houses, who live in New Jersey. It was bound for Hoboken. Nothing out of the odrinary was noted as the train pulled into the Christopher Street station, in the heart of Greenwich Village, the last stop before it gqes through the tube which takes it under the Hudson River to the New Jersey shore. More passengers boarded at Chris'toper SJJeet and when the train rolled out the station, all seats were taken and hundreds were standing In the 10 big steel cars which made up the train. The last car bf the train had reaches a point about 20 car lengths beyond the station when there was a report as of a rifle shot and a blind ing flash ifi the third car. Then fol lowed the hissing of Short circuited wires and the staccato of fuses blown. The Jlghts went out over the entire train. There followed wildest confusion. Men smashed windows. Doors were torn open. Women scteamed. Some fainted.- Then. In a general bedlam, there was a rush to escape. People were trampled. B)ue- white smokfv curled up and filled one car and then another. , More windows were smashed, more 'moke rolled in from without. Some ma grabbed a fire extinguisher and turned It on, although there was no flame showing. The gas from It ad ded to the suffocation within . the train. TUos?

TO LOWER HOUSE Washington. Feb. 18. ? First offen ders along with hardened violators of the prohibition law would be liable to maximum penalty of a line of $10,090 or five years in prison, or both, under a bill passed by the Senate todajr and sent to the House. By a vote of 65 to 18, the Senate approved the measure introduced by Senator Jone?. Republican. Washing ton, after several days of debate, cele brated by a clash -of views between /Borah, of Idaho, and Reed, of Mis souri. on the dry question. The proposal to increase thfc maxi mum penalty In such a way as to make them applicable to first offenders was attacked by many Senators as too drastic, but the majority of the Senate decided such, a step necessary to help enforce the prohibition law more effectively. Softening Provision. tn raising the penalty so as 'to In clude first offenders, the Senate soft ened the blow by approving a pro vislohMn the bill which declares it to be the sense of the Senate that judges, when imposing sentences, "shbuld dis criminate between casual or slight violations and habitual sales of in toxicating liquor or attempts to com mercialize violations of the prohibition law." Before the bill passed. SenatorBlng ham. Republican. Connecticut, pro posed to exempt first offenders from the Imposition of the maximum pen alties; but the Senate voted him down 51- to 31. On the final ballot, 36 Republicans Joined with 29 Democrats in support of the measure while five Republicans and 13 Democrats were registered against it. Among those voting . for the bill was Senator Borsh. who. in speech "yesterday, demanded stricter law enforcement. Senator Reed, of Missouri, who had directed a scathing pttack upon prohibition, voted agains'? "the measure. ? ? ; Minimum Penalties The bill did not affect minimum penalties already incorporated in . the Volstead Act.' Under the present law, the maximum penalty is a finf . ql SI .000 or six months' imprisonment, or both, for first offenses, and $2,000 fine with five years' Imprisonment for sub sequent offenses. The minimum sen tence a judge may at present im pose is none at - all for first offenders and a fifie of $200. with imprison ment of one month for second or sub Sequent offenders. , Practically all of the debate was concerned with the discrimination be tween minor offense, such as carry ing a pint of liquor to a friend, and the activities of the big bootleggers. Supporters of the measure contended that judges would use their discretion In meting out sentences. Mr. Warner A. Morton Dies In Raleigh Saturday i ? Mr. Warner A.
