HOUSE WILLWORK LONG HOURS DAILY Agrees to Put In 10 1-2 Hours Each Day on Tariff . . -. - Debate. - GARDNER TALKS ON HIDES Hardwlck Denies South Is Turning to Taf t Ansberr j Delivers Shot at Pinchot Harrison Saya Women Are Hard Hit. WASHINGTON. March 17. Debate on the trllT bill in the House today wm largely devoted to an academic discussion of the question and the political issues Involved, although Gardner (Mass.) thor oughly reviewed the question of free hides and a tariff on leather goods. Longworth (Ohio) and Harrison (New York) the democratic member of the ways and means committee, were the only representatives of the tariff framing committee who made speeches. The House adjourned to meet again at 10 o'clock Monday. The House will meet for ten and one-half hours each day. The hours agreed upon are from 10 In the morning to 6 at night, when a recess of two hours is to be taken, the House to continue in session from 8 to 10:30 at night. , Devoting his remarks largely to an academic discussion of the tariff, Ha'rd wlck (Ga.) maintained that the South still condemned protection. He also de clared that the South was turning to Taft was untrue. Hardwick asserted that the tariff on sugar results in a clean gift to the trust of $67,000,000 per annum. The tariff on hides was discussed by Representative Gardner, of Massachu setts. He said hides were on the free list as the bill passed the House, but that a duty of 16- per cent was fixed In conference. Chicago Packers Brought In. ' Whether this duty was imposed at the Instigation of the great Chicago packers. 1 knw." continued Mr. Gardner, nether the packers have financed the campaign which has created an artificial sentiment among the farmers in favor of the duty, is beside the question. The fact remains that this sentiment undoubtedly exists and It must be reckoned with." M"- Gardner sald he had lost Patience with those who say they cannot vote for free hides because the leather duty and the boot and shoe duty have not been sufficiently touched. Ruin was spelled ww taMn leather and free patent leather, he argued, and by free boots and hoes, so far as a substantial minority or manufacturers was concerned. He said a duty on hides does not encourage the breeding of a alngle additional animal and does not furnish a market for a slnsle American hide. "dl!r ,Said.vthev "Hlmate consumer would receive the benefit of free hide, through the cheaper cost of product ""ufacturer. So long as the shoe trade Is not controlled by a trust, he said, competition would keep the profits down. He argued the necessity for pro tection to the boot and shoe industry, sayln the American maker of cheaper wail mU8t bS protected or " to the 'We believe the cattle industry to thriving. he said, "and we believe the cow is amply protected In other ways we believe the profits from this duty go mostly Into the pockets of the man who needs them least." . While Gardner wae arguing for the re tention of the duty on boots and shoes and in favor of keeping hides on the free list. Champ Clark (Missouri) wanted to know if he would support a bill which would compel the shoe manufacturers to tamp on the shoes they make a state ment ehowlng the Ingredients that enter Into this manufacture. Gifrord Pinchot Scored. "Oh, I will vote for It," Gardner re plied, -but they will take my head off down in my district for doing it. But the gentleman is right." In an argument for free lumber, Ans herry (Ohio) was very sarcastic in re ferring to the opposition of Gifford rinchot. forester of the United States. The Ohio Congressman said Mr Pinchot attained his position In public life be cause he waa a protege of Theodore Ttoosevelt and had the confidence, there fore, of the American people. "But when the cat is away the mice will play." quoted Ansherry. "About the time of the so-called lumbermen's bar, unet. held 1n thle city In February, ru mors began to be current that Mr. Pinchot was wavering, but It was "not until Mr. Roosevelt had retired from the Presidency that Pinchot finally lined up on the other side. The lumbermen ad vanced on Washington.- They saw. they converted, and when thev left the Na tional Capital It 1s said that Gifford Pinchot was chained to their chariot." Turnip, to other features of the Payne tariff bill, Ansherry said it had been framed to protect special interests. Women Hard lilt. Declaring that there would be no dis sension In the Democratic ranks of the House with regard to the tariff, and that the Fitzgerald amendment to the rules made it possible for the minority to ex press its views upon amendments to the bill by a record vote. Representative Har rison, of New York, today discussed vari ous features of the Payne measure. "Under Republican management." said Harrison, 'the Nation was fast approach ing bankruptcy. This bill contains heavy taxes upon the women of America." he continued. 'In many respects they seem to have been singled out for attack. The new taxes upon tea and coffee, upon women's gloves and cotton stockings are a direct provocation to woman suffrage. If this tariff bill does not bring about the fran chise of women, their cause is hopeless. Rut th,e most serious aspect Is that these duties. (Ml mora heavily upon the poor than upon the rich. "The Increased tax upon cotton stock- 1 ings Is even more serious than those upon women's gloves. In hose and half hose the enormous Increase in taxation is entirely upon the cheaper grades. "The great danger of the situation is that the lowering of the tariff rates Is to be used as a pretext for lowering wages. -I have not the slightest . doubt that . the American manufacturers of steel and Iron are strong enough to enter every market of the world." H.-.rrisoa declared that every Item on the steel and Iron schedules should be put upon the free list in order to cheapen the price of the products to the Ameri can consumers. He attacked the maxi mum and minimum provisions of the bill the counterveiling duty on coffee, and said that the Democratic party favored n income tax rather than an Inheritance tax. Declaring; that the Payne bin 1B a practical fulfillment of . the pledge of the Republican party. Representative 1 Long-worth, - of Ohio, spoke today In defense of its various provisions. "No tariff bill in history that I know of has ever been framed by Democrats and Republicans acting together." said Mr. Longworth. "It is a matter of personal regret to me that I cannot have the pleas ure of seeing a complete Democratic tariff measure. I confess to a feeling of deep curiosity to know upon what basis the gentleman from Missouri and the gentle man from Alabama and the gentleman from Texas could have met." Mr. Long-worth declared the Republicans don t claim that the Payne bill is in all respects perfect. "No one of ua believes that there is everything m u which ought to be in it and nothing in It which ought not to bo " he said. "We do claim for it. however, that it represents a bona fide revision of the tariff from top to bottom. "The Republican party always has fa vored and always will favor the policy of protection, but we don't favor rates so high as to shelter monopolies and which amount in effect to prohibition." Mr. Longworth defended the expendi tures of the Government and said that he believed that the time Is at hand when the Government must spend more for the improvement of inland waterways. He said coal and Iron have been placed on the free list and the lumber tariff cut in half In order to conform with the pro posed conservation of the natural resources. FILIPINOS OPPOSE PAVXE BILL Assembly Concludes It Would Mean Loss of Revenues. MANILA, March 27. Floor Leader or lne majority of the Philip pine Assembly, presented a resolution to day embodying a memorial to Congress opposing the Payne bill. The resolution recites the .provision of the bill, and then declares that its enactment would be Inimical to the interests of the Flft Pino people, especially so far as it con cerns an economic administration." The resolution then continues: , "The approval of the bill would pro duce a gheat loss of revenue for the In sular treasury, so much so that it would be impassible to sustain the present gov ernment. The financial condition of the country is such that it would be Im possible to impose new taxation, direct or indirect." The resolution next approves a reso lution adopted in May. 1908, which asks the admission of sugar and tobacco to America without any concessions here, and insists upon the adoption b Con gress of that resolution. In conclusion it protests "respectfully but energetical ly" against free trade for America here and limitations on Philippine products In America. The resolution also declares that the Philippine Legislature cannot in any possible manner devise new means for producing an income to maintain its government. The Assembly later amended Queson's resolution by adding the declaration that in the belief of the Legislature the pas sage of the Payne bill would prove preju dicial to the Independence of the Philip pines. Then It was adopted without di vision. Assemblyman Lukban, of Manila ad vised the acceptance of the terms of the Payne bill, and a few other members apparenUy were opposed to the resolu tion, but when the clause relative to the future independence of the islands was inserted there was no further opposition and a motion to make the vote unani mous prevailed. v Cuba Wants Reciprocity Treaty. NEW YORK. March 27 Cuba is 'not vitally concerned in the tariff revision, according to Dr. Alfredo Zayas, Vice President of the island republic, who is staying In New York for a few days. 'What we desire now." he said, "Is a new reciprocity treaty to provide for lower duties on sugar and tobacco. Such a treaty will most likely be framed soon and submitted at Washington for consid eration. There will be no formal demand for the abrogation of the existing treaty but we wish a better one."

MARCH WEST PLAUSIBLE AS DARK HORSE Lorimer Will Put Him Up in Ef fort to Break Deadlock in Illinois. DENEEN FATHER OF BOOM Figured West Could Get AH Votes Going to Governor in House, but Element of Weakness Is Shurt leff Forces' Opposition. CHICAGO, March 27. (Special.) Roy o. West, member of the Board of Review, and chairman of the Repub lican state Committee, Is Congressman William Lorimer's latest candidate for United States Senator. ' Since the fiasco of last Wednesday, when the Shurtleff, Deneen and Low den booms. fell flat In the great effort during 12 ballots to break the dead lock, Mr. Lorimer has been grooming the West boom, which it Is planned to spring Tuesday in Springfield. Mr. West has been chosen on the theory that he can get all the votes that Governor Deneen could have at tracted, and that he will not be o ve hement as the Governor was In re fusing the Sena.torship. -When the De neen stampede waa being planned Tuesday night Mr. West was in Sprig field, and in conference every min ute with Congressman Lorimer and Speaker Shurtleff. He was supposed to be urging the Governor to accept the Senatorship. The next day, how ever, he seemed to take much pleasure in spreading the news that Mr. Deneen waa In a rage and would under no cir cumstances accept the Senatorship. Wrest Has Long Been Slated. It has been, inside gossip ln Re publican circles for the last four years that if It lay within the power of Gov ernor Deneen to accomplish It, Roy O. West was to become a Reno t rr T .... the intention to run him in the pri mary against Senator Hopkins, but the plan was droDned fierce fight made against the Governor himself. NOW, With the Domnnr9in . i dropped and Mr. Deneen holding the balance of power in the deadlock, the Lomlre plan contains such elements of feasibility that it has excited the politicians more than any previous dark horse rumor. Only One Weak Point. The strength of the West boom lies in the theory that he could get all the Deneen support ln the House. But it has a weakness ln the lack of popular ity of Mr. West among the Shurtleff Lorlmer legislators. While they were willing to send Deneen to the Senate. In order to get John G. Oglesby in as Governor, they are balking at the idea of handing Mr. West a Senatorship and retaining the present Governor. Mr.' Lorimer has been compelled to use all his powers of persuasion, and even then has been unable to con vince all. The secret of the West boom was re vealed by a country legislator, who has been voting for Speaker Shurtleff, and who was asked to switch on Tues day to West. LOS ANGELES BANK FAILS Consolidated to Be Placed in Hands of Receiver. LOS ANGELES, March 27. The Con solidated Bank of Los Angeles will be placed in the hands of a receiver by Judge James Monday. M. S. Hellman, John E. Fishburn and W. H. Holliday,' bankers, appointed by the court as spe cial referees to determine whether or not the bank was solvent, reported to the court today that the bank's assets are far below the amount of deposits for which the bank is required to account.

Dr. C. E. Cline. Said tn R Tile. cordant Element, Retires From Presidency Tomorrow. When the members of the Mthnflit Ministerial Association meet tomorrow in the Taylor-street Methodist Church after nearly two months of inac tivity. Dr. C. E. Cline's term of office as president will expire. That some radi cal changes in the constitution of that body will be made, Is a foregone con clusion. It was at the last meeting, held on February 8, that the decision was made to hold no more sessions during the presidency of Rev. C. E. Cllne. On that occasion. Dr. ' Cline made some se vere criticisms of another member of the association and the discontinuance of the meetings, it was said, was meant to be a rebuke to the presiding officer for his remarks. Another matter which is sald to have incurred the displeasure of members of the association was the action of Dr. Cllne with regard to the attitude of Methodist ministers in the Portland post mastership controversy, there being some misunderstanding as to whether the president assumed to represent the senti ment of the association or merely the opinion entertained by himself. Owing to the factional line-up that Is said ".o have existed among the members of the association, the meetings were not largely attended and tneir primary func tion was considerably curtailed. "With tomorrow's meeting the reorganization of the association will be undertaken. The members of the committee appointed to prepare a new constitution is composed of Rev. W. J. Douglas, of Woodlawn; Rev. I C. Poor, of Sellwood: and Rev. J. W. McDougall, of Mount Tabor. While admitting that they had a num ber of recommendations to present to the meeting, they declined to divulge their exact nature. It is known, however, that some legislation will be offered that will limit the voting power to active members of the association, that is, members who are in charge of congregations. This will eliminate the difficulty which has prevailed by reason of the fact that the - j't""-.',,, J Red af- .t 1900.

Frazer were chosen delegates to the National con vention, to be held in July in Ashville, N. C. C. Dick and Charles Ringler were chosen alternates. In the discussion preceding the election of delegates the opinion was expressed by several mem bers that the present would seem to be opportune for the purchase of a lot and erection of a building, and the cost of sending delegates to the National con vention added to the general fund. Others, however, believed that the ne cessity for a hullHinv fa v.. nA "rs '-'J uw luctuia pressing and that if the Oregon and .rc.iuisi.uu uiviumn is not represented ln the National conventions it would eventually lose its identity.
