WASHINGTON, April 6. Wrangling,
confusion, captious objections, person
alities and. language bordering on vi
tuperation, marked the first day's dis
cussion of the Payne tariff bill t for
amendment in the House today. With
practically a full attendance the mem
bers were wrought up to a high ten
sion and were prepared to fight to the
last ditch for the things. their constit
uents demand.
Nearly the entire day was consumed
in discussing the lumber and hides
schedules. The advocates of free lum
ber went down to defeat by the nar
row margin of six votes after the
striking out of the countervailing
auty on lumber..
An overwhelming majority was mus
tered against an amendment by Scott
of Kansas taking hides from the free
list ana nxlng a duty upon them of
10 per cent ad valorem.
Barley Under Discussion.
a ne Dariey scneuuie came In for a
lively discussion and, when the bill
was laid aside for the day, there were
pending two amendments, one raising
the rate In the Payne-bill from 15c to
25c a bushel, and the other fixing the
rate at 10 per cent ad valorem.
The sum total of the day's work, with
the exception of eliminating the coun
tervailing duty on lumber, was to
leave the bill in identically the same
condition in which the committee re
puiLea it. -mis .rants tree raw
hides and a duty of $1 per thousand
on sawed lumber.
When the House opened a parliamen
tary snarl was at once encountered as to
whether . or not amendments would be
permitted under the rule adopted yester
day. The point was raised by Clark.
Fitzgerald of Pennsylvania and Dalzell
of Pennsylvania, both on the committee
on rules, contended that individual
amendments under the rule could be of
fered.
Fordney Suffers for Lumbermen.
The chair ruled that other amendments
could be offered, but that the committee
amendment offered by Fordney remov
tng the countervailing duty on lumber,
had precedence. Fordney said he in
troauced his amendment with Great
regret, as the provision it sought to
strike out was a meritorious one."
"I am offering the amendment," he de
CC'oncluded on Paee 3.)

Disappointed Daughter Is Well

NO CHANCE FOR LAWYERS
Expected Legacy -of $500,000 Had
Shrunk to $50,000, "but Threat of
Contest Expands It Other
Daughters Still Rich.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-(Special.)-
Lucky" Baldwin's spirit may now rest
in peace, so far as tne likelihood of a
contest of his cherished will is con
cerned, for it was announced today that
the claim of Mrs. Roselia Selby. wife
of D. F. Selby, of Oakland, and a daugh
ter of the decedent, had been settled.
In accordance with the policy adopted
when "Lucky's" widow. Mrs. LUlie Ben
nett Baldwin, was given a big bonus to
prevent her tying up the estate in the red
tape of the law, the exact terms of the
arrangement are kept secret. But it can
be stated that the amount received it not
far from 1,000,000.
Sowed Seeds of Contest.
Unless the unforeseen should occur at
the 11th hour, one of "Luckv's" cher
ished dreams a will which could not be
broken will thus escape the test of the
courts. Having lived within a whirl of
lawsuits, the millionaire turfman spared
no ingenuity to make his will contest
proof. It contained a provision that,
should any of its beneficiaries file a con
test they should by that act be cut oft
without a cent. Another clause provided
a bequest of $10 to any person who could
prove an heir's claim to the estate, thus
making success worthless In advance.
But when, while acknowledging Mrs.
Selby as his daughter, he yet left her
only 200 acres of the Rancho el Puente,
in Alameda County, out of an estate
valued at J25,O00,O0O, he himself sowed
the seed that, was most likely to produce
subsequent discord.
Kxpected Over $500,0 00.
That Mrs. Selby expected something
more substantial -from her relation
ship with the famous man of fortune
than the $50,000 worth of property ac
tually allowed her under the will was
made evident, when, a few days sub
sequent to "Lucky's" death, her hus
ban announced tbat his wife had been
remembered to the tune of over a half
million. The open will proved to 'e
great disappointment, but no steps
