Sugar Interests Try
to Get President to
Modify His Views
WASHINGTON, April 11. - President
Wilson was urged today to agree to a
modification In the tariff schedule on
sugar to make It discretionary with the
executive at the end of thrco yan
whether sugar should be free.
Former Governor Alva Adams of Colo
rado told the president that while the
industry In his state could stand a re
duction to I cent a pound, as now pro
vlded In the tariff bill, the knowltdgo
that sugar would be ffee at the end of
three years would have a depressing ef
fect on hutlness during tho,t period.
Colonel Robert Ewlng, democratic nif
tlonal committeeman from Ixulslans

and took the same position as fornwr
Governor Adams. He went away with
the Impression that the president was still
carefully considering that feature of tho
bill.
Senators of the-flnance committee dls

Omaha can secure tho next national en

public, a meeting that will be held prob
ably during the last week in August.
The encampment .will bring about 3,000

and fully as many more visitors.
Major Wilcox Is chairman of the gen

ing the matter In charge and Is co-operating
with the Commercial club In tho
mutter of considering tho advisability of
extending the InvlUtlon to the officers
having charge, of selecting tho place for
the holding of tho next meeting. So far
all that stands In the way of extending
the Invitation Ib the matter of funds. It
Is estimated thnt to entertain tho meeting
will require $20,000 to $25,000, which would
be used In securing halls, providing
badges, decorating, furnishing muslo and

The major mid other members of the

to have secured the required amount.
Howover, he Is not discouraged and Is of
tho opinion that the committee will bo

large number of men have expressed a

LINCOLN. April 11. (Special Tolegram.
A combination of tho Houth Omaha,
stock yards and the Omaha Water board
and ft trade of ovtes with those favor
ing the Insurance code bill was strong
enough this afternoon in the house to
make this democratic body repuldlate thn
principles the party has stood for for
years; principles tho party has time after
time pledged the peoplcto enact Into law
home rulo and let the pcoplo rule. In
committee of the wholo of the dem
ocratic house this (combination by s,
vote of 67 to 23 recommended for third
reading 8. F. IT, the Omaha district
water bill.
To secure th csupport of the stock y.trds
lobby for the hill, so It was stated on
the floor of the house, and confirmed
by Mike Ie, an employe and representa
tive ot the Water board, Lobbyist How
ell gave to tho stock yards In return for
their hey 3.O0O of the taxpayers' money.
The sum of money represents what tho
city ot Omaha will lose by reason of the
Howell amendment to the mil removing
the stock yards from the Jurisdiction ot
the Water hoard.
Slonk Yards Triumphant.
The stock yards? so Lobbyist Howell
said, had they remained under the Juris
diction of tho bill, would have spont
J36.000 with Omaha for water. Simon,
vho with others, had been charged by
Hpwoll and his licnclimen with being- op
posed to tho bill on account ot the stock
yards, tried to got the house to rocon
stdor Its action In eliminating the stook
yards and said he desired a roll call so
that the public would know who war.ted
a Btock yards bll and -who wanted a
water bill. Simon made a vigorous speech
for h,ls motion and protested against
Howell's Slvlng s.waylM.000 qf the pteo
pie's money. -".' -
Whlfo this motion wss being dis
cussed, a motion was made to recommend
the bill and this carred, and Simon was
unah,lo to get action on his proposition.
The democratlo house votoa oown u
amendment by Sugarman, to compel the
Water Board to advertise, wnen ino
amount Invllved is over $500. The house
preferred, uark chamber methods ana
