Southerners Would Have the Big Magnates Imprisoned, But at the Same Time They Seek Protection.

Washington, D. C, May 26. Republican senators yesterday were regaled by the spectacle of two of their democratic colleagues espousing the cause of protection. Senators Foster and McEnery of Louisiana made speeches on , the sugar schedule, advocating a high tariff on all grades. The senate did not approach a vote on sugar. The Louisiana senators pleaded outright for protection, Mr. McEnery especially calling upon democrat to abandon what he termed the "absurd theories of free trade." The lumber schedule was temporarily put aside In order to permit the committee on finance to make changes In it. Early In the day Senator Beveridge addressed the senate at some length In support of his contention that President Taft previous to and after his nomination had been a consistent advocate of a downward revision of the tariff. He followed the maiden effort of his democratic colleague, Mr. Shively, who undertook to prove that if the tariff bill now before the senate should become a law the rates over which, the senate Is wrangling would not constitute the tariff that would go Into effect, but that under .the maximum and . minimum provision the country would find itself operating under the maximum rate, which Is 25 per cent higher than the minimum. Cummin Income Tax Plan Ready. Senator. Cummins said last night he would offer his income tax amendment just as soon as consideration of schedule had been concluded. He will revise his amendment to meet the wishes of a number of republicans. Asking that the same consideration be accorded sugar in the tariff bill as is given other industries, Senator Foster spoke at length in favor of sustaining the duties on raw and refined sugar as passed by -the house and recommended by the committee on finance. ' " "It the revenue provided in this bill from the importation of "sugar," said Mr. Foster, "Is necessary for the honest and economical administration of the government, then it should not be disturbed." A duty, he pointed out, has been imposed upon sugar by every political party' since the foundation of the government, .and, except in the Walker act, a differential duty had been imposed upon the different grades of sugar. The products of the field and forest Mr. Foster declared, have arisen In price 25 or 30 per cent, while the price of sugar has remained stationary. - "The margin of price between refined and raw" sugar under the Dlngley

bill is much less than under any pre

ceding bill.' he said. - This fact, he contended, completely

meets the contention of the senator from Georgia, Mr. Clay, that the present duty increases the margin of profit for the sugar corporation be

tween raw and refined sugar.

Replying to Senator Smith of Mich

igan, Mr. Foster said the. Germans

charge their own people more for sug

ar than anybody else. In the United States, he insisted, sugar is sold cheaper than in any other country on the face of the earth except England. Mr. Foster charged that complaints about the price of sugar emanate from literary bureaus which have been organized in every village and town In the country. Petitions Start in Wall Street?

"Every senator," he added, as he held aloft a bundle of yellow petitions.

has received these circulars. They

some from all sections of the country ind are doubtless signed .by people in the villages and towns indicated on them, but they come to senators in the same kind of envelopes, postmarked "Wall street New York." Mr. Tillman interrupted to say that sugar ought to yield m revenue, whereupon Mr. Foster laughingly said he lid not wish that offensive word "prolection to be used in connection with the revenue. Under the -Dingley act the sugar production bad increased in ralue from $4,072,000 to J43.4S0.000 in ten years, he said. In reply to a question by Mr. Tillman the Louisiana senator declared his belief that if the luty should be taken off sugar the

"The cotton growers and the corn growers," responded Mr. Foster, "will have to help support this government, and I see no reason why they snould object to doing it through a tax of this kind." : No Trust in Louisiana. Mr. Foster declared that the independent sugar refiners5 were not in collusion . with the trust and that the trust had nothing to do with the sugar production of Louisiana. Denouncing the trust as having outraged every principle of honesty in trade, he still appealed to the senate not to strike a blow at the sugar industry In order to punish the trust "They should be punished." he said, "like criminals. Put stripes on them, but do not strike down a domestic industry." Closely following his colleague, Mr. McEnery spoke in support of the same principles as had been upheld by Mr. Foster. Mr. McEnerv made no effort to conceal his protective predilections. "A tariff for revenue only," he said, "was never contemplated by the builders of our great constitutional structure. Free trade or tariff for revenue only has no place in our system of government. No tariff can be levied without carrying protection in any degree." No tariff, he contended, was ever adopted by any democratic congress or signed by any democratic president without involving the principle of protection. "The Wilson-Gorman law," he added, "was Quite notorious for Eome of its protective features." Calls Free Tradt Absurd. Raising his voice and for the time

abandoning his set speech, Mr. Mc

Enery said: "It is gratifying that at this session of congress we notice a great change of opinion among democrats who are voting for a duty on raw material, although at one time free raw material was considered a cardinal principle of the democracy. I hope that the conditions of the country, its necessities and the liberality generally that is pervading all classes of the people may dictate to the democrats the abandonment of all the absurd theories of free trade and cause them to come in with the great body of the people and vote a liberal protection for all the manufacturing Interests of the country, to make it as independent as the fathers declared it should be of all foreign nations." Mr. McEnery stated that so far as he could discover the Aldrich bill imposed no injury to any domestic interest, "nor," he added, "has there been imposed in any of its schedules any burden upon the people." After Mr. McEnery entered upon his speech many republican senators crossed the chamber and sat in rapt attention nearby. Senators Aldrich, Sutherland, Gamble, Scott, Page, Smith (Mich.). Brlstow, Root, Bradley, Crawford, Burton, Johnson and Stephenson closely attended upon the words of the venerable Louisiana senator. His remarks did not appear to be so popular among the democrats, as toward the latter part of his address only his colleague, Senator Foster, together with Senator Daniel, gave him special attention. Senators Overman, Hughes and Bankhead occupied seats on the outskirts of the democratic side, but no other senators of the minority were within the chamber. Later Mr. Bailey and Mr. Bacon joined the little group about the Louisiana senator.

DECIDED BY COURT How Man's Name Can Be Removed From Remonstrance Ruled On. OLD PROBLEM CLEARED UP

Washington, May ,26. "Early is a leper." Edward Ehlers, M. D., director of the Royal Frederick Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark. "Early has not and never had leprosy" L. D. Bulkley, M. D., New York, specialist in skin diseases. Deprived of almost the last hope or being released from confinement as i leper, during the remainder of his life. John R. Early Is today in a mood strongly contrasting with the hopeful attitude he had Monday. A few hours has made a great difference in the

Early home in the outskirts of Wash

ington. Monday man and wife and

the kin were animated by highest con

fidence that the stigma of leper and

outcast would be removed from the

head of the family. Hope Was Bolstered.

This hope was bolstered up by the opinion of a skin specialist of New

York city, that he had made careful

examinations of blood and skin from

the alleged leper, and found no trace

of the dread disease. The diagnosis of Dr. Ehlers, the Dan

Ish . specialist, however, has produced

despair. ; .

Attorneys '.employed by Early to pro

cure "bis release from the custody of

the health authorities gave out yester

day the " following report, received

cialist, who made a secret examination(

a couple or weeks ago: "In examining and studying the case of Early I can find absolutely no evidence whatever of . leprosy, past or present, and am certain that he has no signs of the disease now. Inflammatory Condition. "Some months ago there was an acute inflammatory condition of the skin on various parts of the body, due to the cause mentioned, which are pre -sented in other persons of the same occupation, and this has slowly disappeared, the cause being removed. "Leprosy would not develop in the manner in which this did; it would not subside as this has done during these months of confinement. "Leprosy is a slowly developing disease, and could hardly affect as large

an area in many months. Early has I

had no treatment, except, pernaps, ior a month, when he took chaulmougra oil in modified doses, none of which has been taken since November. "In conclusion, I declare that Early has not and never had leprosy; that he had an acute inflammatory condition of the skin, and that he has never had any trouble which would warrant his isolation." .

Indianapolis, Ind., May 26. The Supreme Court has decided" at last just now a man who has signed a remonstrance against the granting of a saloon license may have his name removed from the remonstrance. This is the first time that a decision directly on this point has been rendered by the Supreme Court, and it is believed it will clear up many of the problems that have confronted applicants and remonstrators all over the state. A judgment denying Sampson J.: Miller's application for a saloon license in the town of Wolf Lake in Noble county was affirmed by the Supreme Court. The court holds that a paper purporting to be a remonstrance with a number of names signed thereto prima facie proves itself as, a valid remonstrance by qualified voters, and where names purport to be signed by an attorney in fact, his authority. to sign the names must be presumed. The court also held that where six of the remonstrators executed powers of attorney authorizing their attorneys to "sign my name to a withdrawal 'from any and all remonstrances," eta, the mere filing of such power with the Board of Commissioners on the day before the remonstrance was filed, did net affect the remonstrance upon its subsequent presentation with these six names on it.
