called his attention to Governor Morrows reply to the request; of the Senate that he name useless offices, rointinc out that he included In the list the office of Slate Fire Marshal, and informed the Senate that lie had divorced from the State's payroll thirteen Deputy State Fire Marshals. "Now in view of that." Senator Harlan continued, "how can you vote for this bill that recreates Fire Marshals tinder the State Auditor when the Governor has told this Senate that there is no need for Fire Marshals?" Senator Burton ignored the question. Gardner Flays Him. Senator Gardner, replying to Senator Burton, paid: "There Is only one kind of a Democrat. 'He is a man who votes with his party and defends the principles for which that party stands.

I can have no confidence in a man who grave his solemn promise to vote one way and the next morninK turned right around and voted another way. I can't sit idly here and let such a lr.an pretend to act for the benefit of the 35emocratic party. I wish to serve notice upon him now that the nineteen Democratic members of this body are not fools, and that they cannot be fooled by him. I was present and heard him pledge him-. self to vote one way.

and the next morning lie violated that pledge." Senator Swinford referred to a verbal bouquet that was tossed Senator Burton's way by Senator Brock, Republican leader. He said some may have construed it as a necessary stimulant to keep tho Senator from Grant County keyed up to the point of continuinc to vote with the Republicans on measures they were particularly desirous of putting over. Blow At Willsoil Seen. It was after the Fire Marshal Rill had passed that Senator Brock felt encouraged to call up the Primary BUI. Democrats contend that it is aimed at Augustus 12.

Willson, Louisville, former Republican Governor, who would make the race for the Republican nomination for United States Senator were lie privileged to go before the people. The bill, as it passed tne senate this afternoon, would empower the nartv leaders to determine whether the nomination should be by primary or convention, and the coming nomination, if the House concurs in Senate amendments to the bill, will bo made by convention. Democrats In furtherance of the cause of Richard P. Ernst. Covington, also a candidate for the United States Senate.

In a convention, controlled by Republican bosses. Mr. Vllison would not have a "look-in," Democrats say. Attached to the bill, when it passed the House a few days ago, was an emergency clause. This was stricken out in the Senate, however, to enable the measure to pass that body.

Fifilit On Fire Marshal Bill. The bill recreating Fire Marshals and putting them under supervision of the State Auditor was bitterly opposed by all but two of the Democratic Senators. 'Burton and A. Perry. The latter said ho did not consider the bill a party measure and that rather than leave the State without Fire Marshals he felt impelled to vote for the pending bill.

"It is a case of elimination by substitution," Senator Harlan "Everybody knows that -the Gov ernor. while making' his campaign, promised to -abolish the Fire Marshals, and in order that the people' may be fooled into the belief that he has done so this bill doing away with and recreating them is "before us today. It lias already passed the House. It is the greatest camouflage that has been attempted this session of the Kentucky Legislature." Senator Harlan said he was not discussing the merits or demerits of the Fire Marshals, but that it made his blood boil when he thought of how the Republicans were attempting to fool the people. Not a penny will be saved them, he said, though or may be saved to the insurance companies operating in the State.

Brock Comes to Defense. Senator Brock, in explaining the hill, said that as it was when it came oi'er from tne it auaeu i.i to the salary of the State Auditor. nrnvfslon was stricken out in committee, however, and the Auditor would not receive a penny lor nis au-u-nrlt. The measure was fur- L.lini- amended, he said, to limit the number of field men to lour, unuer the old mere were uurieen deputy fire marshals in the field the Between $35,000 and $40,000 will be cnved the insurance compumea ui me State annually by reason of the change Senator Brock said, expressing the opinion that this saving will be reflected in the rates given the aro abolishing only the name fire marshal." Senator Harlan declared "I can't see how this Senate will have the face to go before the electors and say we believe in elimination by substitution." Senator Gardiner, discussing the bill, said: "I can't see anything In this change of legislation but a deception of 'he people of our State. This looks like taking something out of one pocket and placing It in another." Senator Nunn said: Xmin Decries Insincerity.

"It is a case of 'tweedle deo'nnd Washington, Feb. '27 (Associated Tress)- Daniel C. Hoper. Commissioner of Internal I to venue, has in formed Government ollicials of his in- tentton to resign, shortly. Although his formal resignation had not been received tonight at the "White House, the matter of his successor is understood to ba under consideration.

Beyond the fact that he plans to return to private life, no information a5 to future plans of Mr. Roper was available here tonight as the Commissioner was nbsent from the city. The resignation, however, it was ascertained, will not become effective for several weeks, Mr. Roper having consented to remain at the head of the Revenue Bureau until after income tax returns for the past year have been filed and collection of such taxes, the lirst installment of which is duo March 15. Is well under way.

Had Long Public Career. In returning to private life. Mr. Itoper will wind up a long public career as the administrator of the greatest tax collection agency ever organized, which last year gathered approximately $8,000,000,000 in Government revenues. He became Commissioner of Internal Revenue in September.

PJ17, just as the war emergency caused abnormal Increase in all Federal taxes and necessitated the expansion of the Bureau from a small peace-time affair, concerned chiefly with imports on alcohol and tobacco, into a tremendous machine reaching into the pockets of millions of citizens for increased income taxes and into the records of corporations and partnerships to take their excess profits for prosecution of the war. Obtained Co-operation of Industry. In administering this enormous and somewhat ungrateful task. Mr. Roper followed an original policy as exemplified by iiis statement that a man ought to be proud to pay taxes.

He sought and obtained co-operation of business interests and expressed the hope that he had been able to make tax paying more popular than it had been. Invasions of the tax laws were punished inexorably. Mr. Roper's Bureau was given the task of enforcing nation-wide prohibition by the Volstead Enforcement Act. and he utilized the personnel and machinery formerly devoted to collection of excise taxes to establish a prohibition enforcement section, with branches in every State.

Here again he sought public aid in his work, asking that law abiding citizens generally assist in making the dry law effective. Native ot Smith Carolina. Mr. Roper is a native of South Carolina, where he servtd in the State Legislature before coming to Washington. He was Expert Special Agent of the Census Bureau from 1000 to 1310.

During this time, he developed a plan of collecting cotton statistics at ginneries and originated the series of cotton reports which have been an important factor in cotton trading. He was appointed First Assistant Postmaster General in 1913. resigning to hecome chairman of the Organization Bureau of President Wilson's campaign for re-election, in 191G. lie then was appointed to the United StateB Tariff Commission, of which he became vice chairman, resigning to take charge of the Bureau of Internal Jle-Yenue.

Feb. 27. With an indorsement of Governor Edward of New Jersey for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, this city tonight toolt the lead in an organized nation-wide fight, made in the open against the prohibition amendment to the Federal Constitution. The declared platform is for a National Administration that will agree to a "light wine and beer" amendment to the present enforcement act and a Congress that will be "damp" in reducing the present Federal restrictions. Fifty representatives of Chicago organizations took formal action that, they claim, nuts the liquor question directly into the 1920 presidential and congressional campaign.

Edwards of New Jersey its the Democratic candidate for President, will be placed In circulation this morninc in Chlcaao for the Democratic Statewide primary of April 13. The time limit for filing such petitions expires Thursday.

All candidates for Coneress in Illinois, regardless of party, will be asked to take, a direct stand on the proposal: "Are you in favor of a light wines and beer amendment to the present prohibition enforcement act?" Bryan Is Dared to Run. Informally the conference dared William Jennings Bryan to enter the Illinois Democratic primary as a candidate against Governor Edwards. This was definitely stated In this declaration from Alderman Aton Cer-mak. the r.ctivi- political head of the Lnited Societies. Alderman Cermak out lined tlie policy that was agreed to.

as follows: "The crisis has arrived." The wets hesitate no longer. Taking Mr. Bryan' at his own word, in having read Governor Edwards out of the Democratic party, we defy him to enter the Illinois direct primary of the Democratic party on April 13. We propose to nominate Governor Ed-wardf at San Francisco. Mr.

Bryan to the contrary notwithstanding." The conference today that decided the policy of the wets was compose! of representatives of the Manufacturers and Dealers Association, the Chicago Hotel Men's Association, the Chicago Restaurant Association, the Liberty the United Societies for Local Self -Kovern ment and var rious business men's associations.

tweedie dum: why not name things by their names and wipe away from this all Insincerity? The State Kire Marshal Department is a good one. and should be continued. It has been inefficiently conducted in the past, perhaps, but why. not lake it up now and conduct it efficiently? I would not cripple the department by reducing the number of deputy fire marshals if they are really needed. I think the bill in its present form should be defeated." Senator Brock, after Senator Burton had declared himself for the bill, referred to him in a speech as 'a big-hearted patriot." It was this "bouquet" to which Senator Swinford referred, when scoring tho Senator from Grant for his stand.

Even the Grant County Senator could not sit quietly under the lavish praihe ot the Republican leader and requested him to I'esist. 1 tiimiT-b he voted for th! bill looking to making tho office Mon "ppo took issue with i i Ttonnblican. on the of State Sup. point he attempted to make that it wquld be a. step toward taking schools out of politics.

"I am for the bill becauso I believe the Governor should have tho power to appoint the State bchool erintemlent." Senator Nunn said, "and he is the man who should he held responsible for the success or failure of an administration and for that reason he should have authority to in his assistant. I favor the short bal- lot." Senator Gardiner satu. "We are already concentrating too much power in a few people.

Little opposition developed against the bill Using the minimum pay of teachers at $75. An amendment providing for a minimum of $55 was voted down. It was Ihe occasion for a speech by Senator Hogue.

McCreary County, who declared that anv man who would agree to teach for $55 per month was not worth the "powder and lead that would be required to kill him." Senator Kives voted against the bill becauso it will deprive School Trustees of authority to pay what thev may wish, he said. "All commissions sought to be created under the present administration would be given the right to Ux salaries." Senator Rives said, "but under this bill it looks like School Trustees are not being trusted." Senator Haynes Carter, also voted against the bill. How Votes Were Kcconleil. Whitsett Hall, Logan County, was the only Senator who voted against the Moss-Smith Highways Bill. He explained later that because of the hid! cost of all materials be doubted whether the present is a good time to start such a project as that proposed I by the measure.

Senator Kives onereu an aniunu-ment that would have provided pay of $10 per day for the four commissioners under whose super vision the highways system is to be built, hut it was voted down. The so-called primary bill passed bv vote 16 to 11. Senator Burton was the only person claiming to be a Democrat who voted for It. Nineteen Senators voted for the fire marshal bill and fifteen against it. The two bills looking to Constitutional amendments each received twenty-four votes, barely enoiiEii.

(Continued From First Page.) copper were fixed by a committee composed of Government officials, arid only after a full and complete hearing had been, given to all persons interested. He said that wheji the United States was preparing, but before ft got into the war.

copper interests agreed lo furnish copper the United Slates wanted at an average price fixed on the quotations for ten years. Later, when the United States entered the war and the entire production was needed, the price was fixed after consideration of cosis of production. In this fixing, Mr. Baruch said, the copper industry as an industry had no pari. The rule was the same in every Industry, he added.

The War Industries Board. Mr. Baruch uointed out. had nothing to do with makinc contracts for Government departments, but expended fUO.OOO.OOO.GDO for this and Allied Governments, "There was no other way we could cet results except by priority systems." said the witness, "and I ask whether any one can succest another, as we may have to so all over this ground some other day. You must remember that at the close the war the War Industries Board was practically in control of 357 industries lanci ncr from the creates to the smallest.

And not. one of them could cet a sinirle dollar in monev or a single barrel of cement unless we were convinced that it was needed to win the war." When Mr. Baruch declared that ex cessive profits were kent down "when we compelled those makinc the in to return 80 per cent to the Treasury." he was rebuked by Chairman Graham and Representative Jefferies. who demanded what he had to, do with it. "Excuse me," said the witness, "I will amend that by saying that Congress penalized excessive profits 80 per cent by law." In defending the fixing- of prices, Mr.

Baruch said: "If we had not fixed prices as we did, they would have been limited, especially in steel, by the shame of the producers. We could not afford to have let the steel interests fatten off tho blood of the country. We fixed prices; we made them as low as we could, taking into consideration all factors of the case." Mr. Baruch said that ho had discussed preparedness with President Wilson in the early days of the1 European war. At that time, he said, he had about retired from "From the moment the Kuropean war broke out I was convinced that the States would be dravn into it." said the witness.

"So strongly did 1 feel about the matter, that 1 was one of the early advocates of general military preparedness, and I was oni! of tho original supporters of General Wood when he started his Plattsburg training plan. "Following a trip through the country in which I saw how terribly unprepared we were, I asked for an appointment with Tresident Wilson the first' time I had seen, him since he was selected the first, time. I told the President that we should take steps to mobilize the country's forces. The President listened very graciously to what I had to say. Later I talked with Secretary of War Baker regarding the legislation authorizing tne uouncu ot national ueiense tnat then was before Congress." "Did you tell the President or Secretary of War Baker that you believed the United States would be involved in the European war?" asked Chairman Graham.

"I did."
