FORGED CHECKS WAS CAUSE OF SUICIDE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Pres. Tilson's program for free sugar In 1916 carried the day In the senate Tuesday, when democrats rallied to the support of tho tariff bill and defeated all anndments to tho sugar schedule. With all but Senators Ransdell and Thornton of Louisiana standing tirmly for the administration measure, the democrats defeated the Rristow amendment for a compromise duty; the Norris amendment against free sugar, and the GalUnger amendment against free maple sugar. An amendment to abolish immediately the Dutch standard color test for sugar, was adopted during tho light. It was proposed by Sen. Bristow, republican, accepted by Senators Simmons and Williams, the democratic managers of the bill. Under its provisions the Dutch standard, against which a consistent tight has been waged since 1909, will be abolished as soon as the tariff bill becomes law, instead of next March, as the measure otherwise would have provided. The decision on the sugar schedule came at the end of a debate devoid of much of the bitterness that had been expected in connection with this fight. The two Louisiana senators had made clear early In the consideration of tho bill that they would vote with the republicans in favor of a duty on sugar; but there were no other waverings n the ranks of the democrats. Sen. Rrlstow's amendment would have established a gradual reduction in duty from the present tariff of $1.90 per hundred pounds until in six years the tariff would have established a 97 cent tariff on Cuban sugar, which constitutes the bulk of the imports into the United States. A hard fight was made for the Rristow amendment, but irhen finally forced to a vote it was defeated 3 9 to . 4. Rut for the absenca of Senators Works, sterling and LIrpitt, republicans, and Sen. Poindexter, progressive, the vote probably would have been 39 to 3S. This close margin did not alarm the democratic leaders, however, for with a definite call of the membership, they were certain of a majority. A subsequent motion by Sen. C.allinger, to strike out the provision to make maple sugar and glucose free of duty in 1916, was beaten 37 to 35.
