DYE EMBARGO WINS IN HOUSE STRUGGLE Confusion and Uproar Mark 0il Duty Fight, Halted by Adjournment. The House refused yesterday to strike the three-year dyestuffs em- from the tariff bill, by a vote 22 to 106. The vote came on an amendment proposed by Representa- tive Frear of Wisconsin, republican. As the vote was taken in committee of whole and was close, it is likely that when the bill goes into the House, the final parliamentary stage, another vote will be had on this proposition. After disposing - of the dyestuffs amendment, the House turned to the discussion of the duty carried by the bill on petroloum and crude oil. The fight over the oil duty was heated, but was halted temporarily when a motion to adjourn was put through by the republican majority over the solid opposition of the democrats. Ol Insue Forced to Front. Representative Garrett of Ten- nesses, in charge of the democratic minority, forced the oil issue to the front. His amendment to put crude petroleum and fuel oil back on the free list was thrown out on a point of order, amid_the greatest confusion and uproar. For a time the House did not seem able_to tell its legis- lative head from its heels. a republi- can breaking in with a wild shout to know “where we are at.” As the Garrett free oil amendment was _knocked out, Representative Treadway of Massachusetts, a repub- lican member of the ways and means committee, which at the eleventh hour imposed a duty of 35 cents a barrel on crude petroleum and barrel on fuel oil, stepped to the front with an amendment to wipe out the proposed tax. Being a member of the committee, he was permitted to pre- sent it, but was stopped at the close of a five-minute talk by objection of democrats, who announced they were prepared to shut off debate and vote. Denounced and Defended. In the half-hour flurry the oil duty was violently denounced and warmly defended. Representative Rebertson, republican, of Oklahoma brought a round of applause from those support- ing the oil tariff by attacking . .e New England policy of demanding protection with one hand and free trade with the other.” It was apparent that oil took top place in_ interest among the House membership in_the five contested schedules on which a separate vote is to be permitted by the special rule. Everybody, it seemed, was anxious to Speak, and worn out by the all-day wrangle over dyes, members were ready to lay off until Monday and get their forces lined up for the real fight. The dye a combined embargo stood up against attack by democrats and republicans. Deseribed by those supporting it as a device to shackle the vast dye interests of Germany, it was denounced by Representative Frear of Wisconsin. a republican member of the ways and means committee, and others as a move to build up a dye monopoly in this country. Letter Erom Gen. Pershing. Representative Langworth of Ohlo, a republican member of the ways and means committee, read a letter from Gen. Pershing, chief of staff, on the importance of the chemical in- dustry from a military standpoint. With reference to the protection f the dye industry in this country, Gen. Pershing wrote, “it can be stated that the coal-tar products, of which dyes are the most important at pres- ent in peace, are the basis of practi- cally all of our high explosives and most of our war gases. “Our shortage of chemical plants in general and dye plants in particu- lar prior to the World's war made it difficult for us to obtain a supply of high explosives and gases until we had deen in the war for several months.” DIPLOMATS SELL SUGAR. Cuba Adopts New Method to Sell Enormous Surplus. HAVANA, July 16.—Cuba will em- ploy her diplomatic corps in a cam- paign to sell the existing enormous sugar surplus, under a decision reacff- ed today at a meeting of the cabinet with President Zayas. S The secretary of state was in- structed to initiate negotiations in every country where Cuba is repre- sented diplomatically, for the sale of gar on conditions favorable both to uba_and the country approached. Specific mention was made of Chile as a possible customer for sugar, de- natured alcohol and tobacco.

STATE SEES NO CASE. Prosecutor Sees No Reason to Try Officers for Murder. TACOMA, Wash., July 16.—Prose- cutor J. W. Helden of Pierce county, when informed today that (federal charges against Capt. Robert Rosen- bluth and Sergt, Roland Pothier were to be dismissed, said he would have to be convinced there is a case against the men before filing state charges. “All the papers I have in the case have not convinced me Rosenbluth and Pothier should be tried on the charge of killing Maj. Cronkhite,” Mr. Selden said. “However, I will examine carefully all the additional evidence and papers the government may turn over to me.” AMERICAN TO WED LORD.

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 16— There is believed to be little doubt that Montgomery county republi- cans will have at least one woman on their ticket next fall. This was evidenced at a meeting of the re- publican state central and county committees here tollay, when steps preliminary to placing a strong ticket in the field and waging & vigoPaus campalgn were taken. The consensus of opinion among members of the committees seemed to be that a woman should be nomi- nated for the house of delegates, and there was considerable senti- ment in favor of naming @ member of the fair sex for register of wills or some other place on the ticket. For the house of delegates the name of Mrs. Eugene E. Stevens of Chevy Chase was suggested and re- ceived with much favor. The meeting was presided over by Paul Sleman, chairman of the state central committee for the county, and others present were State Senator Willis B. Burdette, State’s Attorney Thomas L. Daw- son, Charles F. Kirk, Lewis Kelser, Carlton B. Stabler, Emory M. Craw- ford, Frederick M. Page, Fred H. Grimm, John Humphreys, Wilson L. Townsend, Charles T. Day, Clif- ton Dronenburg, T. Cranmer Grif- fitth. W. Harry Beard, Albert War- fleld and others. o A reeolution was adopted re- questing the chairmen of the var! ous districts of the county to can- vass their respective districts and endeavor to ascertain who are will- ing to accept nominations and to learn, if possible, the sentiment of the republican voters in regard to the makeup of tne ticket, and to report at a meeting of the state central and county committees to be held in Rockville on July 29.
