The rasult la the -Senate today came with surprising- quickness. Thorough or ganisation of the combined forces was apparent from the start. Senator La FoI Iette woolen bill, offered st nrst as an amendment to tha Underwood bill, re ceived only 14 votes, those of the insur gent Republicans. The Underwood bill Itself waa voted down with equal facility, only the Demo crats and Senator Browm of Nebraska, supporting- It. Then came Senator La Follette'a motion to reconsider toe vote.

The Underwood bill was then brought back to life and Senator La FoIIette offered the compromise bill that bad been asreed upon. It was attached to the Underwood measure as a substitute for the terms of that bill, and passed by a vote of U to C all without a bitch or a fumble. Democrats voted solidly.

"I would not acree to the bill as It passed the Senate."

In a ft w day a La Folleite Explains Bill. In offering bis amendment La FoI Iette took the position that the re ductions. If adopted, would comnen sat th farmer at least la part for the losses they would suffer as result of free trade In agricultural products with Canada. The effect of the amendments to schedule K which I now propose." he said, "are as follows; Duty on clothlnsr wools. 49 per cent: carpet wools. 10 per eent; tops. 45 per cent: yarn. 60 per cent; carpets, 40 per cant; on cloths and all other manufactures composed entirely of wool or having; wool aa the component matsrlal of chief value. 60 per cent- Th present average duty on raw wool Is a fraction less than 45 per cent. In proposing a duty of 40 psr cent ad valorem. I make no wide departure from the duties paid today on raw wools on the average. It will do away, however, with the gross Inequal ities and discriminations under which the users of the cheaper wools, which go to make up the poor man's clothing, have to labor under the present speclflo duties. "A straight ad valorem duty of 40 per cent will do away with prohtbllve rates and will reduce the rates on wools which manufacturers of woolen goods need today for the purpose of blending with our own wools. Coarser Wool Benefited. "The ad valorem duty will also do away with the present Injustice of sub jecting wools that contain three fourths of their weight In grease and dirt to the same duty aa the fine- ex pensive wools, with a shrinkage of say 10 per cent. "Passing now to the proposed duties on Intermediate and finished products. the principle underlying them Is that In all cases a compensating duty equiv alent to th duty on raw wool shall be Imposed in addition to a protective duty, which Is to cover . the difference In the cost of production at home and abroad In the manufactured article." Senator La FoIIette aald that the pro posed amendments of duties on manu facture of wool would result In a re duction from I. SI per cent ad valorem under th present law. to 66.02 per cant or more than II per cent ad valorem, and more than IT per cent below the present rate. The change for the wool schedule as a whole would represent a reduction from an average ad va lorem of 6I.T4 per cent under the pres ent law to SC Il per cent, or a reduction of 13 S per cent ad valorem and more than 34 per cent below the pressat rata.

In cross-examining Attorney Hanecy, representing Senator Lorimer, said the deposit slips had been Juggled, both at the present and at the former Lori mer Investigation. In explanation, he absolved attorney or others connected with the committee from his charge. The cross-examination ended sudden ly when Hanecy persisted In asking the witness, after he said he had no knowledge on the subject, about Indict ment brought against his father. Chairman Dillingham suggested that other witnesses could give better testi mony on the point and assured Hanecy that every witness he desired would be compelled to attend the hearings, if possible.

PINCHOT SCORES TAFT EX-PORESTER DECLARES COX TROLLER BAY MESSAGE WEAK. Root of Matter Untouched" by President, Is Gist of Statement Issued by Conservationist. WASHINGTON, July J7. "The Presi dent's defense of his course In the Controller Bay affair shows how hard It is to make a good excuse for a bad mistake," said Glfford Plnchot, ex-chlef of the Bureau of Forestry and now president of the National Conservation Association, in a statement issued to day. He declares that President Taft, In his message to the senate "leaves the root of the matter untouched." Concluding. Plnchot says: "It Is unfortunate that the friends of conservation, in their efforts to bring about the development of Alaska for the benefit of the people, are contin ually obliged to expend their strength against the men who ought to be the orotector of the people's property. It looks to be like unnecessary duplica tion of work when we must first fight the policemen before we can get a chance to stop the looting, i "In spite of all explanations, the fact remains that Mr. Taft, in opening tne lands around Controller Bay without notice to the publlo has given the in terests behind Ryan an opportunity to sea u ire the key to the channel of Con troller Bay before the public knew what was going on."
