' All the fight is about over now", Senator Underwood said. fTariff de bates of the past week have been most good natured in the Democratic leader's recollection. Republicans have avoided filibustering, or demand or record votes. The caucus rule of a solid Democratic vote has been rigid ly carried out. Only a few . minor changes are now to be expected and they will be to clarify .language. Demo cratic leaders expected it would clear the path for consideration of the in come tax alone tomorrow, followed by reading of the bill for formal passage of the whole measure, a formality counted upon to take less than an iiour.

' ' ' ' ' '"' Washington, May v .-Efforts'- in Congress to incorporate -the $100,000,- 000 Rockefeller Foundation wera scored today by Senator Works who declared them a "proposal to 'farm out' to John D. Rockefeller and ,his associates the right and powr to edu cate the people of the country with money w accumulated by criminal means." Senator Wprks statement was made in connection with' a speech he delivered in' the Senate, today on trusts and combination, the existence of which he blamed to the high pro tective tariff policy. "The extent to which this may b carried out is practically unlimited The corporation add institutions of learning which may r be . established throughout the country in the hands of people .who will be : subservient, to the interests and.- views .of : Mr. Rocke feller and his associates are without number or limitatiohf said, the Sen ator.

While te was not in favor of a high protective tariff which fostered capitalistic com bination, he said he would be in favor of an effort to. protect the wage earn er in his earnings and that he believ ed it would be "an excellent thing to harmonize the tariff and wages." The Interstate Commerce Com mission," . continued the Senator, should be allowed to determine whether fair wages are being paid by any concern; and if not, to compel tho employer employing foreign laborers and paying European, wages to pay the same tariff .on its manufactured goods that are enforced against for eign importations until its wages are increased to a fair scale for Ameri can workmen. If a higher tariff did in fact protect the wage earner I would cheerfully stand for its con tinuance, even at the expense ;of hieher Drices to the consumer. The evident purpose of the so-called tariff experts is, so far as progress has been made, to deprive the farmers, who are themselves laboring men and wage earners In most cases, of all protec tion and preserve it to the trust and millionaire manufacturers. This would be a fatal mistake. In most cases our manufacturers and bus! ness men can compete with the world and make profits. They can and do sell their goods cheaper in foreign markets thna at home. With the farmer, in many cases, it is differ ent. "The wage, earner must be pro tected in his, earnings and reasonable hours of labor, the consumer, in rea sonable . prices, and the whole people must be protected in their , indepen dence, and liberty. The equality of all men must be made a reality and not a theory. If the Democratic Party can , and will : accomplish these re sults, demanded by the people. It may live and maintain itself in power. If it does not, Its reign will be brief. If neither of the old parties can or will restore the government to the people as our forefathers handed it down, then a new party will be raised up thaf will do the people's .wJlV It will be a par$$ of the people's own mak ing, founded on justice, fair, dealing, and disinterested patriotism., I am ready to give the Democratic Party a fair trial. I am, wHliag to wait and see and to lend my aid to that party or any other, to bringdhout just and beneficient laws through." and by which . the whole - people may ' bo brought into iheir;owit and their . just rights, fostered and protected, Z1 Wants Congress to Enact This Re form Measure at Present Special Session Expects House and Sen ate Committees to Get Together Shortly Will Give Them : His Views. Washington, May 5. The President again today expressed hope that mem bers of Congress would come to an agreement on details of the currency legislation, so that a bill could be passed before adjournment of the. spe cial session. The President told call ers he expected the currency commit tees of the House and Senate to get together to formulate a measure, and his own views will be transmitted through whatever measures were fir ally agreed upon by them. The Prea- ident has no message in contempla-.prices tion on the subject just now. When common agreement is in sight among the currency advocates the President will caTl Congress' attention, in a brief message, to the necessity for prompt action. The President hopes, if the committees take up the whole currency question at the . extra' ses sion, it will do so with expedition and get through about not later than Au gust. He plans a visit to Panama in July or August. Senators Gore ana Owen and the entire Oklahoma dele gation have urged the President to attend the . twenty-fifth anniversary April 9th, 1914, of the opening of Oklahoma territory to settlement. The President said he would try and go. APPROVES STEAMSHIP INSPECTION Washington, D. C, May 1 Secre tary of Commerce William C. Red field has approved certain changes in regulations governing the Steamboat Inspection Service made by ad execut ive committee of the Board of Super vising Inspectors which met L at the direction of the Secretary in New York City on April 18th. ;: Probably the most important "change is one relating to the credit to be given for experience on motor boats to applicants for licenses as masters of coastwise steamers. The regula tion formerly read as follows: "Practical service on the deck de partment of an ocean-going or coast wise steam yacht shall be accepted, when bffered in documentary evidence by any person applying for ah origin aMlcense or raise of grade on ocean going or coastwise steam vesselB, - as being equal to the same amount of service in any ocean-going or coast wise 8 team, passenger vessel." As amended, the. words "vessel pro pelled by machinery" have been sub stituted for the words "steam yacht"; thereby permitting many men who have had training and experience 1 on ocean-going and coastwise ' motor yachts and who were formerly pre vented from - obtaining licenses . as masters of coastwise steamers to se cure admission to the examination given to applicants for such licenses. There were two other changes of im portance made. The first was a new rule In regard to lifeboat equipment on boats under 50 tons' burden subject to inspection, permitting them to trav el with a lifeboat capacity of onlylOO cubic feet when navigating in daylight only and when equipped with air tanks under deck of sufficient capacity to sustain the vessel afloat when full Of water and with a full compliment of passengers on board, or when properly subdivided by iron or steel water-tight bulkheads of sufficient strength, and so arranged that the vessel "wilt fe main afloat "with her full compliment of passengers with any two compart ments open to the sea. The second was a new rule permitting the licens ing as masters of lake, bay, sound, or river steamers of persons' who 'have served five years on sail vessels one year of which has been as master.' - ; i- .rjfy- Aviator Falls to Deaths f Akron, Ohio, May 5.

Christmas Club at The American Na tional Bank. The institution of the Christmas Club idea by the Savings Department of the American National Bank will undoubtedly prove of great benefit to those who are willing to look far enough ahead to provide a little for the future. " This progressive institution has pur chased the exclusive use of the famous Wrightson System, whereby its cus tomers, or any one'of the public, may deposit five cents the first week, and increasing the deposit . by five cents each successive Week, ahd by Decern-j ber 15th have saved $23.25. By de positing regularly $2.00, $1.00, 50 cents or 25 . cents, the amount will aggregate by December 15th, the sum' of $60.00, $30.00,, $15.00 or $7.50, re spectively, plus interest It is not only a splendid medium for saving something for Christmas, but as well, enables the smallest de positors to acquire the habit of sav ing something regularly, which will undoubtedly prove of .. .great benefit to those who join the Club. The Bank announces that no pass books are necessary that the . depos its are credited by , simply punching the '''member's card for ' thef amount of the deposit There are no fines for non-payment and no f ees are. requir ed for entry or withdrawal. Tke only condition upon whachhe Bank insists is that the amount so deposited' shall not be withdrawn until December 15th, and that payments he made regularly. If for any reason, the depositor cannot continue to make payments, the .total of his account to such time is held to his credit until the 15 th of -December, when it is subject to withdrawal,' and In the meanwhile, has been accumulat ing interest . . .. s This ; is but one step more in the progressive- history of The; American National Bank, and this plan for-anti cipating a time involving, unusual , ex pense is sure to appeal very strongly to the public generally 'T'" -The - date ; of . opening ' the club . r ; is May 19th, hut deposits may be imade at once if desirelL . ,5 ,'f-y,",u SON UUU1UUU JU UIVU . lin nniiTnni : r M.I I ill "I.
