Daniels' Spercli Blamed. A report vu widely circulated today that 'Secretary of the Navy PftnleU In a speech at the Ranler club, had taken tho Industrial Workers of tho World oa his subject and had declared that they and all other believers 4n the red flag should be driven out of tho country. Those who heard the, address of tho sec retary say that It was exceedingly mod crate, and had no reference to any local trouble. Nor did he at any time mention the Industrial Workers, A street fltht Thursday night at an Industrial Workers meeting, In which three soldiers wero beaten, had bean represented to the naval' men as a direct attack upon tha service. All day some sort of trouble had bee expected. The rioting began before dark. At first only a doxea sailors wero engaged, but later tho number rose to probably ma The crowd continued marching through the streets until after midnight waving American flogs and yelling defiance at the Industrial Workers of the World. Secretary of the Navy Daniels was at the army and navy boll when told of the extent of the damage done by the rioters. He sold It wodld not be fair to nsk him to discuss the .outbreak because he knew nothing about it Concerning his speech at the IUlnler club In which he glorified the Stars and stripes and condemned the red flag he said: "What I said last night concerning patriotism had no reference to any local situation. In fact I do not know anything about local troubles, If you nave any. did not mention the Industrial Workers of the World, nor did I know that or ganisation hod obtained a foothold here. Z confess that my brief talk on the flag was not made here for the, first time, but was a repetition from my recent ad' dress at Erie, Pa," Mnrinea Hounded Up, Rear Admiral Reynolds, commander of the reserve fleet expressed regret at the outbreak, of which he had heard only Indefinite rumors, He was therefore not In a position to discuss tha rioting, he said. The admiral continued: "While X was at dinner with Secretary Daniels on tha West Virginia word come from Chief ot Police Bannlck, ' warning me that he feared there might be trouble between the sailors and Industrial Workers owing to 111 feeling that existed between them. at Atirvi nt a VuLlmt nf thirty, men ashore, armed with night sticks. They were instructed to round up such dis orderly men as might be found and send them, to their ships," Millard Trice, a socialist leader whose newsstand was wrecked early in tbe night sold tH loss to tho rnaaUsja woujd be about $2,000. "Tho. socialist party la a National polit ical tiartv and has nothing to do Vlth the red frag," said Mr, Prlc. ''t think the riot resulted from the way B&retary Daniels' speech was reported by one ot tho newspapers. The sailors were inolted to violence, and once they started they did not recognize the dlfferonco between a national political party llko the social late and an unorganized crowd like the Industrial Workera of tho World." Hard Times, Felt Now in Jerusalem LONDON, July .-Slnoe the extension of compulsory military service to non- Moslems, there has been a masked tend ency to emigration among the more in telligent Jews and Christians of Jerusa lem, a tendency which was further ac centuated by tho abuses of the tax col lector, and the encouraging report re ceived from friends and relatives al ready settled In America, according to the report of the British consul stationed there. The populotl&n of Jerusalem, ac cording to this report, is composed roughly of 60,090 to 0,000 Jaws, 13,000 Christiana and 11.000 Moslems.- The Uriti Ish community, largely a muuaonabr one, comprises about SM' persons. Owlrig to the war and the consequent falling off In the pilgrim and tourist traffio on which Jerusalem mainly depends, busi ness was unusually slack and great dis tress prevailed, aggravated for some time by a financial crisis brought about by a glut ot small coin Imported by native speculators from Tripoli and Macedonia. The enormous cost of living is also maintained. The principal streets and the Umnle area have been lighted and, praiseworthy "'n aro oeing made-to improve the condition or the public thoroughfares.

"WASHINGTON, July 19.-Senator Cum mins, opening the tariff debate today for the progressive republicans, declared that tho republican party lost the confidence of the people 'and was "driven from power largely because it Insisted! on the .main tenance of Import duties, many of which were unnecessarily and oppressively Weh." "The democratic party,."' he asserted, "soon will be overtaken with like disaster bccause.lt U about ,to . Inflict upon the codntry a tariff 'law which, with respect to many things, invites the perils of free trade, and which with respect to many others. Imposes duties that are danger ously and destructively low, and which, from end to end, grievously discriminates against the west In favor of the east that is to say, in favor ot the manufac turer against tho farmer. "The republican craft went down in tho whirlpool ot Scylla In UU, and Its democratlo successor Is steering straight for the rocks ot Charybdls, whero It will, go to pieces In tho stress of 1916. "There Is a passageway to safety and prosperity. The progressive .republicans charted It In 1909 an dthoy will chart It again In 1913. Borne time the American people . will make the trip under these pilots, but In the meantime we must suffer another shipwreck, bearing It. hardships, as I hope we will, with patriot ism and fortitude." 'Wilson Aocnseil of Coercion. Besides pointing out many things that he considered destructive and entirely unwarranted In the bill. Senator Cum mins criticised the president' for his In fluence exerted upon members concern ing the tariff bill, an influence he said, "so persistent and determined that it be came coercive." I do not charga, nor do I believe,' sold Senator Cummins, "that tho presl dent, In' terms, barters this power for legislative subordination: but I do say that, without barter, the knowledge of the consequences that may follow legislative Independence, will bring about all the ovlla ot actual wrong-doing unless the most scrupulous care is exercised In communications between the president and members of congress. It lies with tha president himself to mark out the path of propriety and to pursue such a course aa will enable every member of ot tho legislative branch of our public af. i airs 10 teei zree ana anreaxroinea in every vote that ho casts." ' Senator Cummin declared be believed the bill would be modified It members of congress voted their convictions, but that it would not be modified, "largely because the president, assuming to In terpret and apply tbe economlq doctrlno ot his party, has laid' the heavy hand ot his power upon a branch of tbe gov ernment that ought to be co-ordinate, but' which, in fact, has become subordl nate." Cancns Methods Condemned. Attacking u "tyrannical" tbe demo cratlo secret caucus on the bill the Iowa senator declared It was "more Indefensible than the tactics resorted to by the re publican leaders la preliminary consider atlon ot the Payne-Aldrlch bill." "So long as the real legislation takes place in a caucus It cannot be known what any man says or how any man votes," he charged. "It Is not only In visible, but Inaudible government " Tariff for revenue, Senator Cummins said, he regarded a "obsolete, unjust and Intolerable." and that "the moment urotectlon becomes unnecessary, freo trade la demanded by every considera tion of luetics and equality," "I would bold myself an epemy of man kind." the senator continued, "ir uirougn Import duUea I wero to ralao tho price of any commodity which the people gener ally used, and ought to Use, simply to put money Into tha treasury of the United States. ItaWra rrlce" Nearly Klre Billion. "Wo produce yearly Jn tho United States commodities competitive In their charac ter, and upon which duties axe levied In this bUL of the value of not leas than tlS.SOO,000,Qtt. If the. average rate of duty upon these things Is 25 per centum, and that I bellove Is the estimate of the most distinguished promoters of this1 bill, the duties will Increase the prico of one year's product' in the aggregate $4,700,000,000. If those who consume, as well as those who produce tlieo commodities, share the benefit of the increased price the general good will be promoted; but If our demo cratic 'friendd are right In asserting that those who produce the dutiable articles are tho only beneficiaries, they ought io shudder when they contemplate what they are doing, tor they are not only taxing tho people, upon tholr consumption, the J25O,O0O,O0O which is collected at the cus tom houses on imports, but they are tax Ing them the $4,700,000,000 for tbs sole ben efit ot the domestic producers of these commodities. This Is ' an appalling con clusion and it will shock the country when It is fairly appreciated. Discrimination Against West, "The total production east of tha Mis sissippi "river Jn the year 1809," said tho senator, "was J2,9Hf?3,MS. Of this pro duction $14,811,052,242 Is upon the dutiable list, being 60 per cent of the entire pro duction of .that- part of the1 country. Tha total production west ot the Mississippi river In the year named was $10,301,016,313, of which $4.041,224,$27 was upon the duti able -Hat, being 39 per cent of the whole production pf that part of tho country west or the Mississippi river. It the democratlo doctrine so often announced Is sound It will bo Interesting .to hear the defense for this grievous discrimination against the people who live In tho Mis sissippi valley and boyond." Tho senator declared the democrats had treated the farmer as an outlaw in mak ing up the bill and that many ot the products of the farm were entitled to protection.

A committee of repre sentatives from Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska was appointed to take up the rate adjustment with representatives of' the Rock Island, Burlington, Missouri Pacific, Santa He and St Joseph Ss Grand Island railroads who were presont at tha meeting. The fruit growers were guest of the Commercial club at a luncheon in the Robldoux hotel. After the luncheon George O.
