A virtually undisturb ed tariff on the variety of articles In the flax, hemp and Jute schedule was Indicated at the tariff revision hearing before the house ways and means com mittee. No action will be taken until the committee considers the schedule In executive session next month, but members have Indicated that they con sidered niost of the duties as already highly competitive. The committee, which heard the testimony of many manufacturers and importers on the flax, hemp and Jute schedule of the tariff, was not dispos ed to question the competitive charac ter and luxury classification of many of the luces, embroideries and other articles In the schedule. This Indi cates that the committee favors re tention of approximately the same rates on many Items. The schedule Is one of the most profitable of the whole tariff scheme, and produced last year more than $49, 000,000 of revenue, with duties averag ing above 45 per cent ad valorem. Some of these articles will be reduced to stimulate competition and bring revenue. Wool Schedule Under Fire The Wool schedule will be under fire this week, and it Is expected that the woolgrowcrs and wool manufactur ing association will present an un broken front In their fight against any change In the present rates. The expectation, however, Is that the democratic majority both In the committee and house In the next con gress will favor the same revision as Incorporated In the Underwood bill that passed the house at the last ses sion of congress. Knox 8end England Note on Panama . The next move In the dlplomatlo skirmish between Great Britain and the United States over the former na tion's objection to the clause In the Panama canul bill, which exempts American shipping engaged In conBt wIbs trade from the payment of tolls, must come from England. Until that time, state department of ficials declared, they must refrain from a discussion of Secretary Knox's note to Secretary Grey to the effect that there is no basis for the British protest, ft was admitted, however, that at least two or three additional notes must be exchanged before a basis for an understanding could be reached. This makes It practically certain that Woodrow Wilson will be called upon to make final disposition of the question, as It is considered im possible that the Taft administration can effect a settlement before March fourth. Monopoly In Money Denied. Accepting as an "argument" a long statement by Henry P. Davison, of J. P. Morgan & Co., denying the exist ence of a money trust and attributing the co-operation among financial In terests to the "weak banking law," the house money trust Investigating committee closed for the time being I La financial probe. The committee will begin within a week consideration of Its report, which will recommend changes in the national bank law and legal control of various financial agen cies. Mr. Davison's statement was an analytical argument based on the ta bles and charts presented to the com mittee purporting to show control of 125,000,000,000 of resources by ISO di rectors. The statement denied this conclu sion and set forth specifically that the firm of Morgan & Oo. "believes there Is no such thing, either In form or fact, as a money trust" National Capital Brevities. President Taft refused to dismiss the criminal anti-trust suit against the so-oalled "bathtub trust" Democratic managers In the senate have agreed that no bill having any reference to the Sherman anti-trust law shall receive consideration during the remainder of this session of oen gress. Democratic senators In oaueua re affirmed their determination to permit none of President Taft'a nominations to be confirmed at this time, with the exception of army, navy and diplomat ic appointments.

LABOR DIVIDED ON BILL Oregon Federation Repudiates Meas ure as Ambiguous Salem. The State Federation of La bor concluded Its anual session Sat urday after a four days' discussion of the problems before organised labor. The matter which brought out the liveliest discussion and produced tlx widest divergence of opinion waa the employes' compensation act, now be fore the legislature. By a vote of 64 to 23 the convention repudiated the bill, and by a vote of 43 to 28 passed a resolution severely condemning Rep resentative A. W. Lawrence, of Mult nomah county, for Introducing the measure before having oonsulted the labor forces. This Is the bill which was drawn by a composite oemmlttee representing both employers and the labor people. The principal arguments used by the opponents of the bill, aside from lu doubtful constitutionality, are the claims that some parts, partiOtttorly section 15, are ambiguous, and that room Is left for doubtful conetruettons by the courts. In lieu of the rejected bill, the fed eration decided to frame 1U own meas ure, and have It ready for lntroduotloa at the next legislative session or lal liate It at the general election la 1114.

President Taft, speak ing at the annual banquet of the Mer chants and Manufacturers' association, defended the administration's attitude in the Panama canal disagreement with England. He declared that Its position was not unpatriotic or dis honorable and asserted there was no reason for anyone to oppose the pro posal for arbitration by an Impartial tribunal. "Whether you call It a subsidy or not, I am In favor of making the rates between the coasts through the Pana ma canal lower," he said. "Now the question Is. can we do that under our International obligations? I think we can, and if you read the authorities I think you'll find that we may. But If we are bound not to exempt coastwise vessels we can agree to submit the question to an Impartial tribunal." The president concluded his speech with au appeal for constitutional gov ernment, endangered In the last few months, he said, by those who propos ed remedies but who could not furnish concrete examples of their proposed reforms.

SERUM IS HELD AT MILLION Physicians Criticise Frledmann'a Atti tude Toward Discovery Berlin. That Dr. Frtedmann wants $1,000,000 for the American rights to his tuberculosis serum, Is the state ment made here. German physicians strongly condemn what they call his "non ethical attitude." They go so far ! as to say that he Is more concerned in the monetary aspect than the hu-1 manltarlan of his discovery. Dr. Frledmann has so far failed to carry out his promise of submitting a culture to the government Ha has ! made various excuses for not doing , this, but he deules that mercenary mo- j tlves govern his action. 1 NOTICE OF SHERIFFS SALE Whereas in a certain suit then pend ing in the Circuit Court of Hood River County, Oregon, wherein Harry O.
