I.onlslana Wants Duty on Philip
pine Rice Flood of Foreign
Scrap-iron Expected House .
to Limit General Debate.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Membera
on both sides of the House are lining up
nd preparing to submit amendments to
the Payne tariff bill, in which their eon-
tituents are interested. The main con
tention will be over the cut in the lum
ber duty. It is understood that the
Bouthern Representatives are almost
unanimous for retaining the present duty
of 2 per thousand feet. They will have
the support of many members from the
Northwest and the Pacific Coast States.
Want Cheaper Shoes.
Hides and leather manufactures also
will be the subject of considerable de
bate. The Democrats will fight to have
shoes and other products of leather re
duced 5 or 10 per cent more and have
hides retained on the free list.
On boots and shoes, according to the
new tariff, will be levied a duty of .15'
per cent ad valorem. While this la a.
reduction of 10 per cent ad valorem, it is
contended by those who favor further
reductions that the shoemen have ad
mitted that they could stand a reduction
or to 10 per cent more if hides were ad
mitted free. Western Representatives
will make an earnest effort to have a
duty of 15 per cent again placed on hides.
Ask Duty on Philippine Rice.
The Louisiana delegation met today to
consider the effect that the free trade
provision for the Philippines would have
on the rice industry. They will endeavor
to have the minority report favor a small
duty on rice Imported from the Philippine
Inlands, or the quantity entitled to free
duty entry restricted, as has been done
with sugar and tobacco.
In explanation of the retention of the
countervailing duty clause on petroleum.
It Is asserted that Mexico has developed
large oil fields and that the provision
limiting the free entry of oil to countries
which do not impose a tax on the im
portation of American oil was made to
prevent the Importation of Mexican oil
free of duty lr that country should im
pose a tax on oil from the United States.
Criticism on Metal Schedule.
There has been very little criticism of
the metal schedule, but it is maintained
that duty on wrought and cast scrap
iron should be equal to that on pig iron
as provided In the Dingley law. In the
Payne bill scrap iron is covered by a
duty of 50 cents per ton, while the duty
on pig iron Is 12.50 per ton.
A member of the House today declared
that the effect of the metal schedule
would be to reduce the Importation of
pig Iron to prnvtlcally nothing, while all
the scrap iron that could be secured in
foreign countries would be brough into
this country.
Breee Over Reading of Bill.
For four and a half hours the House
listened today to the reading of the bill.
Simmons of Tennessee injected a breeze
of life Into the proceedings. He wanted
the reading dispensed with as a farce,
but objection was made. Then he asked
unanimous consent that the bill be put
on Its passage, saying it was evident
no opportunity would b afforded to
amend the measure in the House. To
this Mann of Illinois objected.
The designation by the Speaker of Olm-st.-ad
of Pennsylvania as chairman of
the committee while the tariff bill is
under consideration elicited Republican
applause.
Payne announced that general debate
en the bill would begin Monday, to which
day the Houso Hiijotirned.
The Democratic members of the wavs
and means committee met today and be
pan. consideration of the bill and pre
pared for the coniest on the floor of the
House. Nothing of a dertnlt. character
was agreed to. No restriction has been
placed upon the Republican members of
the committee which would prevent them
rrom offering amendments to the bill.
Only Fire-Minute Speeches.
There Is a Bon.al diSpsitt0 among
the House members to eliminate as far
as possible any academic dlscuion of
the tariff. Members on both sides are
desirous of having as little general de
bate as possible, and as much time as
practicable for consideration of the bill
under the five-minute rule forthwith
When the Dingley bill was before Con
Brews iefs than a week was devoted in
the House to the discussion of the bill
under the flve-minute rule. and. while

RAFTERS RING WITH-SONG
Great Banquet Hall Adorned With
Mementoes of Old College Taft
Dwells ' on Difficulties of
President's Office.
NBW YORK. March 19 With songs of
the football field and . the boat race
course, with a deafening cheer and a
rousing chorus of "Here's to good old
Yale, drink her down," President Taft
was greeted tonight as the first Yale
President of the United States by more
than 1500 graduates of the university. The
graduates came from all over the coun
try. They ranged from silvery-haired old
men whose degrees bear the date of '53
down to the youths who left their alma
mater only last June.
Neath Elms of Yale.
The dinner was served at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The Immense ballroom
was decorated with a lavish wealth of
flowers. From the ceilings countless'
chains of pink blooms fell in graceful
loops. The balcony guards and the side
walls were entwined with roses. The
speakers' table, at which Mr. Taft sat
with President Hadley of Yale and
other distinguished graduates, was can
opied with artificial representations of
the elms of old Yale. Back of the table
was a huge drop curtain bearing a
painting of the old brick row, which
was a reality in Mr. Taffs student days,
but which is now moatlr o msn,r,. T
- .-. ... . ......y.jt,,,
ULCQnt ..of. the curtain and back of the
"i'""" was a replica of the old Yale
fence. The representation of the old
barrier was complete down to the last
detail.
Taft Is Happiest of All.
Many of the initials, including the "W.
H. T.," of Mr. Taft and the' "A. T H.."
of President Hadley were faithfully re
produced. An orchestra played Yale an
thems throughout the evening and the
singing of the rollicking songs was led
by a glee club of 32 graduates seated at
a table.
Mr. Taft was probably the happiest man
at the dinner, which was given entirely
in his honor. He was not hailed as
President, however, but as "Bill" the
salutation which punctuated the cheer
ing as he entered.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.. March 19.

time would be mere guesswork.

Willie Whitla, kidnaped son of Attor
ney James P. Whitla, of Sharon, Pa.,
would be restored to his family within
a few hours was predicted by the Cleve
land police after a man answering the
description of the kidnaper had been
arrested. The prisoner made a state
ment which caused detectives to hurry
away In an automobile to the place
where the boy Is believed to be held
prisoner.

Euclid, recognized in the published na
ture of Willie Whitla the features of a
boy who, in company with a man, ap
peared at the hotel last night. The
man told the clerk he was waiting for

Warren, Ohio. Mr. Whitla is not push

LAFAYETTE, Ind.. March 19. (Spe-
clal.) Announcement was received to
day that John Davis Murray, a Purdue
University graduate, who became King
of Christmas Island In the Pacific
Ocean near Singapore, nearly two years
ago. would abdicate because his newly
wedded wife refused to be Queen. The
announcement of his abdication came
close upon the heels of the word of
his marriage to Miss Margaret Mc
Micken, of London.
It seems that the lady is very do
mestic in her tastes and prefers to live
In the retirement of home rather than
to reign as queen over the Island. The
island is owned by an English syn
dicate, and its deposits of phosphate
are among the most valuable in the
world. The mines are worked by na
tives, and because of their traditions
and their inability to recognize any
thing short of absolute authority. Mur
ray, who was local manager for the
syndicate, was made King of the island
and formally Invested with the title.

ing to defraud her and her child from
a share of his estate, Mrs. Ella Ger
