After a Month's Consideration in
The Lower House The I'ncler
wood Hill Parsed Yesterday rfjid
Goes to the Senate Vote was
2M to 139 House Will 1'roln.oi,
Take Recess.
Washington, May 8. The Under
wood tariff bill, proclaimed by the
Democratic party as the answer to
its platform pledge to revise tne
tariff downward, was passed by the
House late today. The vote was
2 S 1 to 139, five Democrats voting
against te bill and two Republicans
i voting for it. Four Progressives
supported the bill and 14 opposed
it, while independent Progressives
joined with the majority.
Whtn Speaker Clark announced
the vote in loud tones that revealed
his satisfaction In the arrival ol tne
day he long had sought, exuberant
Democrats hoisted a stuffed Demo
cratic donkey over the heads or
their colleagues' in the rear of the
chamber, a faint ripple of applause
followed and the gavel fell on the
first chapter in the history of Presi
dent Wilson's extra session of Con
gress. With the bill after a month's con
sideration on its way to the Senate
thero was a rush of Representatives
for their homes tonight. In the
House adjournment will be taken at
a time beginning next week until
June 1. Irrthe meantime the Fen
ate Finance Committee will study
the bill while the House Ways and
Means Committee will organize com
mittees preparatory to the transac
tion of business next month.
Republicans and Progressives lea
respectively by Representatives
Mann and Murdock protested to
the last against the measure the
lowest tariff bill ever written, and
proclaiming as the Democratic ava
lanche bowled them over the virtues
of different tariff commission plans.
Republicans who voted for the bill
were Cary and Stafford of Wiscon
sin. Tomorrow the tariff fight shifts
from the House with its overwhelm
ing Democratic majority, to the Fen
ate where the party's slim majority
of six already has been reduced, as
far as this bill is concerned, to Tour.
I'nless Senators familiar with the
progress of such legislation are mis
taken there is now little prospects
of a final vote on the bill before
August 1.
FRIKDMAXX INSTITUTES.
German Physician Sells Out His Tu
berculosis "Cure" and It Will Be
Administeied in 30 States.
Greensboro News.
It is possible, if not probable,
that North Carolina may soon have
an institute for the administering
of the Friedmann cure for tubercu
losis, Dr. Frederlch F. Friedmann
has sold out his interest in the
American rights of his turtle serum
treatment for tuberculosis under
conditions which require the estab
lishment of Frederlch F. Friedmann
Institutes in .'16 States. The German
scientist received $125,000 cash and
a one-third interest in each insti
tute, amounting to $1,800,000 for
his remedy. It is learned that no
institutes will be established in such
States as Vermont and Connecticut,
where the white plague is compara
tively rare, but especial attention
will be devoted to the early location
of the cures in those States where
consumptives are wont to go for re
lief, particularly California, Colora
do and Arizona. '
The mountains of western North
Carolina and the pine woods of the
eastern section of this State have
long been resorts for persons afflict
ed with the disease, and it is prob
able that this State, with Florida,
will get the first of the new con
cerns to be established in the South.
Each institute will be capitalized at
$150,000, of which $100,000 will be
held In the treasury of the local
company and the rest turned over
to Dr. Friedmann. It Is of interest
to note that the provision for chari
ty patients, which occupied a prom
inent place in the first tentative
contracts, was cut out In the final
form, and the concerns will be run
on a strictly business basis. They,
and they alone, will have the right
to manufacture and administer the
serum in this country.
