TO BE CONTINUED
Vast Majority in Sen
ate Favors It.
COMPROMISE TO BE MADE
Poll Shows Free Lumber Fac
tion Will Be Beaten.
DRESSED LUMBER AT $2
Vote to Be Taken Early This Week
and Then Party Differences AVIlf
. Be Harmonized Day Given
to Lumber Debate.
WA3HINOTOX, May 22. Among the
questions that will be voted" upon carly
next week In the, Senate will bo that of
putting lumber on the. free list. Tt was
stated upon high authority tonight .that
a poll of the Senate shows overwhelming
sentiment against such action.
The Pacific Coast Senators contend that
the Mouse duty on rough lumber is too
low and they are supporting the reten
tion of the present rate jut S2 a 1000 feet
An effort Is being made to 'compromise
on J1.50 per 1000 feet for rougb lumber
and a small differential on dressed lum
ber. On the latter 12 per 1000 feet has
been suggested.
It is expected that after the vote has
been taken on the question of putting
lumber-on the free Ust no further action
will be taken until the committee has
again considered the subject with a view
to harmonizing the differences between
the free lumber advocates and those who
are demanding protection.
SENATORS TALK f ON Ll'.MBKIl
McT-jmher A'ants It free Klklng
y and He burn for Duty.
WASHINGTON. May 22. By a special
as-eeernent the Senate tank no votes to
day on any subject and the entire session
Vfm devoted to speechmaking. The lum
Vf r schedule was under discussion duc
Ing t'ie greater part of the day and the
ccrt-oversy between the free lumber ad
vocates and the high tariff opponents
was farp. '
McCumber Introduce! the subject by pre
senting an amendment providing for free
lumber and he was on the floor several
I'mes during the day In support of this
1 rm islon. He contended that the Ameri
can forests were being rapidly depleted
uivj urged' that every encouragement
i-in'iiM be given to the Importation of
lumber for the protection of our own sup
l'ly. Ktkins, Scott and Heyburn. all of them
r.-re.;rnt:nK lumber-producing constitu
encies, contended strenuously for a higher
iluiy'than is allowed by the House bill.
Th-.-y controverted the theory that the
American lumber supply Is rapidly di
minishing. Tarirr Depletes Forests.
Borah agreed that a tariff on lumber
would tend to deplete the forests. "It
Is Incredible," be said, "that the human
race is, going to perish rather than plant
trees.'
McCumber Insisted that the Industry
had reached Its highest point In the
I'nited States and urged that free lum
ber would partly supply the American
market with a product that could not be
supplied from American forests without
exhausting them.
Elklns defended the lumber interests
and accused the Senator from North Da
kota of being a "spotted protectionist."
favoring protection on products of his
own state, but not on those of other
states. Klkins contended that there
could not be protection In snots and that
there was no danger of the timber supply
of the country becoming exhausted.
Scott appealed for a higher duty on
lumber.
Heyburn was also In favor of a duty

California ChemUt Announces Dis
covery to Remote "Cynamlde.'
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22. (Special.)
Professor E. J. Voyle. a chemist, of
Berkeley, claims he has made one) of
the greatest discoveries of the age
nothing less than a method of remov
ing the "drunk" from whisky without
diminishing Its ' exhlllratlng powers.
Voyle's recipe takes the kick out of
whatever liquid you may Imbibe, leav
ing all the recuperative powers. -
Professor Voyle says the thing In
whlsky'whlch causes all the woe Is not
alcohol, but "cynamlde." All you have
to do Is to carefully extract the "cyna
mlde" from your whisky and you may
drink it freely without fear.
"Pure alcohol is not responsible for
the Intoxication that follows drinking
it." says the professor. "The evil In
gredient Is an associated element,
'cynamlde. It la one of the minor con
stituents ,not removed by the present
process of fermentation and distilla
tion." FRENCH SEAMEN STRIKE
