SENATE MAY TET KILL TARIFF BILL Doinocrnts Lose Day in Talk l a 111 or Than Moot a Tost, Voto. LKADKKS SEE DANG Ell Fighting lo Avoid Public Healings hy Finance Committee. UKPIUIiKAXS IX l.TXKIT !.fi l-'ollette .loins Penrose, ar.il Strnpsl'! Will Ue I?e sninetl To-day. Washington, May 13,-The Demo crats are going to have a tight squeezo In carrying the present tariff pro gramme through tin Senate. Again to. day they were nfrnld to risk a vote on the proposition to dispense with hear ings on the bill nnd wen obliged to ndjourn without nny progress having been made. The matter came up shortly after tho Senate met nt 'J o'clock nnd for two hours there was a debate ln which party lines were drawn sharply. Final ly the Democrats put an end to tho colloquy by moving for nn executive session. The claims which the Democratlo leaders had been making of Republican support in opposition to public hear ings fell flut and the Democratic op position to Chnlrman Slmmons's plan for referring the bill without Instruc tions for public hearings wns so great thnt the Democrats feared a test of strength. Mr. Simmons held the floor for nearly two hours. He renewed his motion for n reference to the Finance Committee, and Immediately Senator Penrose offered an amendment Instructing the committee to grant hearings. Hcfnn the debate ended Senator La Follettn come fo.-ward with a modification of Senator Penrose's amendment. Senator La Follette's motion directed tho Finance Committee to propound to all persons who sought hearings six teen questions to bo answered under oath intended to elicit Information as to the particular Industry Involved, rn cost of production nt homo and ahrr.nd. the amount of Importations, market prices, competition and transportation. Senator Penrose uceepted Mr. La Fol lette's amendment. When the Democrats through Pen ntor Kern, their. !-ider, asked for nit . xecut!ve srs'len '.he P.iipiililcnr.s re sisted and demanded n roll cull, hut tho executive j-esslon was ordered h a voto of 48 to 34. three Progressive Repub licans La Follette, Works and Poln tlexter voting with tho Democrats. At the time the executivo session was moved by ilr. Kern, Senator .Simmons was still explaining that there was no necessity for further public hearings. The eagerness of the Republicans to get a vote to-day on the question of public hearings and tho unwillingness of the Democrats, apparently to muke n test of strength occasioned much surprise. Hefore the Senate met to-day it was freely predicted even by the Republican lenders thnt the Democrats probably would be able to defeat tho demands for public henrlngs, but It soon become apparent that they couldn't see enough votes In Mght to muke their point. The struggle will probnbly be re newed to-morrow, anil there Is soma talk of according public hearings nnd limiting the time to ten dnys or two weeks. In his speech to-day Chairman Sim mons warned Senutors that if pub lic hearings wero held It would pro long the tariff legislation for six weeks at least. He told his colleagues that the Democrats lu this case were follow ing the example set by tho Republicans under the leadership of Senator Aldrlch at the time the Pnyne-Aldrich law was before the Senato Commltteo on Fi nance. He was quizzed sharply by Senator William Alden Smith, Senator Penrose, Senator Llppltt and Senator Galllnger. Senator Simmons Anally took Mr. Smith off his feet by saying that he decllnpd to ylM ffr u "volrwnlc rrup-. tlon." Senator Llppltt declared that the Democrats were legislating mi the tniiff In "star chamber session." Senator Pen rose declared It wan even worse than that. When Senator Simmons declared that the only result that would follow tho granting of public henrlngs would be "long winded speeches," Senator Pen rose retored thai Mr. Simmons hnd evi dently forgotten tils own speech lasting four days tn support of tho duty on lumber delivered when the Payne-Ald-rich bill was up. The Republicans howled with delight at this thrust and Chairman Simmons, Joining in tho laughter provoked at his expense, declared that at that time the materials that entered Into the manu facture of lumber were all highly taxed and that he had aald at the time that If tho burdensome taxes on the production of lumber were removed lie would te in fuvor of placing lumber on the free list. "Tho Senator Is almost as earnest now as he waB at that time In favor of he duty on lumber," interjected Sena tor Penrose, whereat the Republicans again Joined ln laughter at the Demo- rratlc expense. It was evident that the Republicans were uniteu in opposition io inn uuuci- wood bill. One ot the manifestations of harmony that aroused much comment was Senator Penrosn and Senator 1m Follette seated tn tho front row of the Republican side with their heada to-, x
