ARE NOT BOUND BY THE CAUCUS ACTION Resolution That Would Bind Members to the Bill Without Amendment is Not Offered at Meeting. 'WASHINGTON. July S. Forty Boven democratic senators ftood up in the party caucus one by one late Monday and declared their intention to vote for the Underwood-Simmons tariff revision bill as finally approved Ijy the caucus a few minutes pre viously. Two senators, Ransdell and Thornton, of Louisiana, stated that they would not make such promise because of the proposal to place su gar on the free list in 1U16. Senators Hitchcock of Nebraska and Culberson of Texas were absent, but both are known to be in favor of the bill. This irlves the democrats 4 9 votes for the bill, or a slender majority of one. With the vote of the vice president to fall back upon in an emergency. An absolute binding resolution was not adopted, the poll by individuals being substituted, and that poll was put only on the ground of personal promise- and was not made binding. A resolution was adopted, however, declaring the Underwood-Simmons bill a party measure and urging its undivided support without amend ment unless such should be submitted by the committee. Sen. Newlands of Nevada cast the only vote against this resolution, but Senators Shafroth of Colorado, llansdell and Thornton did not vote. The resolution was as follows: "Resolved. That the tariff bill agreed to by this conference in its amended form, is declared to be a party me;isuro and we urge its un divided .support as a duty by demo cratic senators without amendment. ! Provided, however, '.hat the confer once or the llnance committee may after reference or otherwise propose amendments to the bill." Kx press Satisfaction. Sen. Kern, chairman of the caucus, Chairman Simmons of the finance ; committee, who have fought hard for the measure, and other administra tion leaders expressed entire satisfac tion over the outcome of the measure uml declared their confidence that noimdi votes were, personally pledged to assure the passage of the measure with free wool and free sugar in cluded. It became apparent at once when the conference convened that a res olution which would bind members absolutely to the bill without amend ment was distasteful to many sena tors. The n solution therefore was modified and presented in the form of a party declaration. Before this was put to it vote the motion was made that the senators be asked flat ly their views on the subject. After) tids the roll was called. On this roll call the !u!siana sen ators stated tha It was not their in tention to support the bill without amendment. Sen. Newlands said he hail not definitely made up his mind ! as to certain amendments he might ur;-'e, but in the end it was his in tention to stand by the party meas ure. Sen. Shafroth explained that ho did not want to be bound tp support the bid but it was his present inten tion to vote for it. All Vote for MeaMiure. All the members present. 4 7, votd "aye" tn the roll call. These with Senators Hitchcock and Culberson aU-viit but accounted for. constituted th democratic membership of the senate. "We are satisfied with this show ing." said Sen. Simmons Monday night. "The democrats are on rec ord in support of the bill. Forty seven of them answered 'aye' when their names were called on the motion to support the bill and two others declared it their present intention to Fupport it and said that they did not know of anything that would cause them to vote against the party. No mro could be expected. I am going over the tinal perfected draft of the bill for corrections and shall report it to the senate this week. Thursday if possible. 1 shall call a nuetin-r of the full membership of the finance committee, on Wednesday in all prob ability. At any rate the bill will be ready for general debate next week." We have got the votes, 4 9, with out the vice president, who can be relied upon should an emergency arise," was the statement of Sen. Hoke Smith a-? he left the caucus. Sen. Kern made public the resolution nr.d a statement regarding the roll call. Sen. Newlands. in a statement ex plaining his position, save evidence of his intention to stand by the party. Has Certain Defects. "I voted acalnst making the bill a party measure," Sen. Newlands said, "because whilst it is superior to the existing tariff, it has certain defects which should be remedied. It discrim inates against far western products. The reductions should be apportioned oer a period of three years instead of taking effect immediately. Further reductions on a sliding scale should be provided for, particularly on food products and clothing. There should be. a tariff hoard with power to as certain facts, make recommendations to congress and make further reduc tions under a rule established by con jTesS'.

Many of the gold miners refuse to return to work.

One of the chief speakers an nounced the organization of a new union of South African workers, which, ho said, would be . a revolu tionary party. Efforts are now being made at Uraamfontcln to bring out the railway workers. A dispute is on over the actual terms of settlement which Gen. Botha, the ex-premier, and Gen. Smuts, minister of mines, made with the unions. The unionists assert that they insisted that the government provide for miners whose places were taken by strike breakers, until new places should be found for them, and also that the leaders claimed amnesty for the rioters, Gen. Botha replying that that was a matter for the de partment of justice, but giving the impression that he favored amnesty. Club Ls llarricadcd. Attempts to dynamite the Rand club and other buildings are feared. The club is barricaded and armed members patrol the premises day and night. The residences of the mine owners are guarded by soldiers. An attempt to destroy the railroad be tween Johannesburg and Germiston was made during the night, but fail ed.

FOUR INSTITUTIONS IN HANDS OF RECEIVERS Press Agent is Responsible For Charge That Government is to Blame But it is Quickly Recalled. PITTSBURGH. July 8. The First Second National bank of Pittsburgh, the First National bank of McKces port. a neighboring city, the American Water Works and Guarantee Co. and the banking house of J. S. and W. S. Kuhn, Inc., of this city, were forced into the hands of receivers Monday, through tne failure of the first named Institution to open its doors Monday morning. The closing of the First-Second National bank was ordered by the deputy comptroller of the currency, T. P. Kane, after every effort had been made to meet the government requirements as to the legal reserve. The Kuhn "banking house has ex tensive interests in irrigation projects throughout .the west, and mines and street traction systems throughout western Pennsylvania, besides being a dominant factor in the American Water Works and Guarantee Co. W. S. Kuhn was president of the First-Second National bank, vice president and director in the bank ing house, and vice president and di rector of the American Water Works and Guarantee Co., besides being a di rector of the McKeesport bank. J. S. Kuhn was a director of the First-Second National bank, president and director of the American Water Works and Guarantee Co., president and director of the McKeesport bank and chairman of the board of direct ors of the banking house. When it was learned that the banks would have to suspend business steps were taken to protect the Amer ican Water Works and Guarantee Co. and the Kuhn's banking hous- and application was made in the lederal court Monday afternoon for receivers for both institutions. Throughout the day a statement of the banks and affected companies' af fairs was awaited with feverish anx iety, but none was forthcoming until Monday night when Mr. Kane made a formal statement. No statement of the condition of the bank was ob tainable subsequent to the one issued June 4. on the last bank call of the comptroller. Ksup Statement. Monday night Mr. Kane issued the following: "At a meeting of the directors of the First-Second National bank held on Sunday, the condition of the bank artd the results of the recent investi gation of the bank examiners were discussed. After full consideration, the directors declared their inability to make good the bank's impaired capital and without dissent decided that it would be best for the nrotec- tion of depositors and all other inter ests to have the comptroller of the currency to take charge and to ar range for the liquidation of the bank. "The Pittsburgh clearing house committee, which has been engaged for the past four days in going over the affairs of the bank with the ex aminers and, in making a carcf 'in vestigation as to its condition, re fused to furnish funds sufficient to justify the bank in keeping its doors open, and agreed under the circum stances there was no alternative to the course recommended by the bank's directors. "The oflicers of the- bank have ex pressed to the department the belief that there will ultimately be but little if any loss to the bank's depositors. The liquidation of the bank, and the distribution of its assets will proceed as expeditiously as possible." After a protracted meeting of the Pittsburgh clearing, house association this Institution Monday night issued this statement: Was' Not Unexpected. "The closing of the First-Second National bank by the deputy comp troller of the currency was not en tirely unexpected by this association and it was therefore prepared for the crisis. The members of the clearing house are all In good condition and we believe that the banks and trust companies in the city of Pittsburgh, as a whole, are prepared for any emergency. It will take several days to arrange for the transfer of accounts and the proper and careful handling of checks made on the First-Second National bank. We therefore ask the indulgence of the public and request that they will help in every way possible to assist in the solution of the problem which confronts the clearing house committee and the banks." During the early hours of the day, a run was made on the Pittsburgh Hank for Savings, another Kuhn in stitution, because of the climax of af fairs of the First-Second National. All demands up to $50 were paid without question. and notice for larger amounts were asked, running 30, 60 and 90 days, according to the amount demanded by the depositor. This institution also made a state ment that it had J5. 000, 000 In cash and quick assets and was prepared for any emergency. The run was over before the closing of the banking hours, and it is not thought any anx iety over this Institution need be felt. Two Hanks Merged. The former First National bank, which was accredited as one of the strongest banks in the country was liicxficd with the Second .National WCLt, AT CAST, l I I I , 2 THINK I'VE KILLCD N u' tf y ( evctcy ivKCTCNer rFe ) V , N $f vv C IT UMO NOT A bank last March, the merged institu tion taking the name of the two banks. Monday upon the closing of the merged institution, a statement was sent broadcast by a press agent for the Kuhn interests in which a di rector of the bank, "whose name could not be used," was quoted as saying the government was unjust and was treating the bank unfairly. The statement further quoted the unnamed director as saying the government was responsible for the merger of the two banks, because it was sanctioned by Lawrence Murray, then comptroller of the currency. The statement was almost immedi ately recalled by the distributors of the report, but the recall in many cases was ignored. Previous to the bank merger, the Kuhns were identified with the First National bank of Allegheny, on the north side of the city. This fact caused many rumors that this bank too had closed its doors. The reports was unfounded, however, for the Kuhns disposed of their interests and resigned from all connection with the bank some months ago. Kuhns in Charge. When application was made in the federal court Monday afternoon for receivers for the two Kuhn concerns, Judge C. P. Orr appointed for the J. S. and W. S. Kuhn Co., inc., the two Kuhns and J. K. Duff, treasurer of the banking house. For the American Water Works and Guarantee Co. were appointed J. S. and W. S. Kuhn, J. H. Purdy, gen eral manager of the company, with a fourth to be appointed. Judge On being of the opinion that one of the receivers should be one having no fi nancial interest in the company. The receivers are required to furnish $50,000 bonds. The affairs of the First-Second Na tional Monday are in the hands of C. C. Murray, who has been appoint ed receiver. Bank men are taking some reassurance in this appointment because of Mr. Murray's successful winding up of the affairs of the de funct Allegheny National and Fort Pitt National banks several years ago. Mr. Murray was a former bank exam iner. CAN GET LICENSE DAY OR NIGHT IN CHICAGO NOW CHICAGO, July S. Marriage li censes may now be had at any hour of the day or night in Chicago.

S SHOULD FORGET CONGRESS Marshall Says Industries Should Stand on Own Feet and Go After Undeveloped Markets. CINCINNATI, July S. Vice-President Marshall, in a remarkable in asserted that the American business man should forget the congress for the next ten years. "When business is in a state of mind where it regards the congress as the creature that opens and closes its doors every day," he continued, "you are going to have money spent around the capitol. "These sums may be spent proper ly, and they may not. The principle is that they are bound to be spent, and that is a part cf the business system as conducted under the pres ent Ideas of the American business man that they be spent. Hurts I!iilncvi Men." "The American business man ought to forget the lawmakers. He does not need to depend on this law or that. It only hurts him as a suc cessful producer. "The lobby will end naturally when the business man stands on his own feet and is ready to give and take with the whole world. There ls no need for alarm in regard to our bus iness. Markets being opened In South and Central America will give us enough trade to keep every fac tory in this country running twenty four hours a day, six days in tho week. The lobby investigation and the new ariff are simply going to force the American business man t j show what he can really do and to get rid of the idea that his business depends on the congress. "I do not think we shall ever have free trade. My idea is that we shall reach the level 0f the Walker tariff, in force before the civil war, in which the duties were on a basis of 20 pr cent ad valorem. This much tariff is necessary for revenue.'
