Kraing in San Frwwtoco, PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS IN BRIEF Friday,, April 30. ' Woshlngton, April 80. An extend cd speech by McCumber favoring free lumber occupied several hours in tho senate today. His remarks provoked an extended controversy among advo catcs of a tariff on lumber. McCum bor said, while he was a thorough pro tectionists, ho would not ngreo to a tariff on products such as coal, iron oro, lumber and oil, that are being ex hausted and cannot bo replaced. Aldrich reported from the committee on finance additional amendments to tho bill and tho sonato adopted a mo tion made by him that until further no- tico the sonato shall moot at 11 o'clock daily. McCumber presented statistical est! mats to show that tho coal of tho United States at the present rate of consumption would last 100 years, iron ore CO years, lumber SO years and oil from 20 to 50 years, and maintained that the best way to conserve theso supplies would bo to permit free im portation of such products. Thursday, April 29. Washington, April 29. The entiro timo of tbo senato was given again to day to the general discussion of the tariff bill. Rayner, of Maryland, led off with a general denunciation of the protective system of the Republican party. Ho was followed by Nelson, of Minnesota, who made an earnest plea for the admission of lumber fieo of duty. His assertions aroused a genera! discussion, which was participated in by Hale, Carter, McLaurin, McCum ber, Elkins, Aldrich, and Gallagher. uayncr denounced tbo measure as failing to provido revenue and protect ing the industries controlled by trusts rather than giving any relief to tho consumers of tho country. Rayner frequently entered upon orntorica flights and concluded with a scries of condemnations of the trusts. He de dared his belief in incidental protec tion in order to maintain wages of American workmen. Nelson manifested especial satisfac tion over tho discovery by himself of What ho said wbere numerous "jokers" in the lumber schedule. While tho rates of duty on lumber were ouppos cdly lowered, ho said, they in fact were higher even than the Dingley rates. (jarter declared that congress was paying out $5,000,000 to protect the timber in its forests, while at the same timo it was proposing to lovy a tariff duty on lumber to encourage cutting down the forsts. Wednesday, April 28. Washington, April 28. An exhaust ive treatment of the lumber schedule of tho tariff by Simmons, of North Carolina, was tho feature of tho ses sion of the senate today. Simmons ad vocated the retention of the present tariff, which, he maintained, was but a revenue rate. Simmons opposed the proposed reduc tions in tho lumber tariff, principally, ho said, because labor constituted a arger element in the cost of producing umber than in the cost of producing any other manufactured product, and furthermore mat mo lumber was a competitor with somo of tho articles which added to the cost of its produc tion. Tho present crusade against a lum ber duty, Simmons charged, had been instigated by speculators having in terests in Canada. Ho declared there was no lumber trust Speaking on his amendment provid ng tor a constitutional amendment authorizing an income tax, Brown, of Nebraska, said congress owed it to the peoplo to bo given a chance to say whether the constitution should be mado to sanction a system of taxation approved by the majority of American citizens and by the economists of the entiro civilized world. Painter, of Kentucky, suggested that the Supreme court of tho United States, as now constituted, might change its former opinion holding an ncome tax law unconstitutional. Brown replied that he was ready to support any bill providing for such a tax. Upon Brown's request the resolution was roferred to tho committee on judiciary. Tuesday. Aorll 27. Washington, April 27. As tho last half of his two-dayo' speech, Bailev devoted nearly threo hours in tho sen ate today to a discussion of tho local aspect of his incomo tax amendment to tho tariff bill, citing numerous cases and authorities to maintain the view that such a law would bo constitu tionnl. Ho was interrupted freouentlv by senators, who at times objected to his position or suggested authorities to sustain him. Scott spoke on the tariff with special reference to its effect to tho South. Gore, of Oklahoma, de nounced tho protective tariff. Bailey discussed tho naturo of direct taxation and said that nuostion had never been satisfactorily settled. Ho aid tt was a matter of reerrot that the framers of the constitution did njt sat-' sfactorliy define what a direct tax was. bcott declared he advocated protoc- tlon not onlv because ho believed turns tha best no! icy for his own atato nf WAfc Virginia and for tho Sooth but also for tbo entire country. Ho nWlarfld if tho rato on lumber should hn reduced 48 ner cent of all tho lum ber manufactured in tho United States boinir produced in the South there would bo nothing left for the American Itimhnrman to do but to CUt Wages. Goro declared he had beon reliably informed that in tho rich Pocahontas coal mines of West Virginia wages woro less than in Nova Scotia and Enelond. This statement was denied by Elkins. fllark. of Wvominar. said tho coa; miners of his stato woro paid the high ost rato of waecs uaid in any stato or country and said that that condition of prosperity would be destroyed by free coal. Monday, April 20. Washington, April 26. Denouncing tho nrincinlo of a protective tariff as unfair in takintr money from ono man to eive it to another in order to encour age him in the pursuit of an otherwise unprofitable business, iiailey, oi Texas, delivered in the senato today a set speech on tho Democratic side in oppo sition to the pending tariff bill. After ho had proceeded without interruption for more than an hour, Beveral senators entraecd in colloquies with him. Bailey favored restriction of immi oration as a protection to American labor. Aldrich retorted that wbilo Bailey- was ready to keep out the foreign la borer, he was not averse to allowing the product of this cheap labor to come into competition with the product of American workingmen. Bailey will resume tomorrow, when he will devote his attention to tbo purely legal aspects of an income tax law. Overman, of North Carolina, offered an amendment to the tariff bill in the senate today in which he proposes to placo a head tax of $12 on each fmmi grant coming into the United States. Half-Section Homsteads. Washington, May 1. Secretary Bal- linger today designated 157,176,800 acres of land in states to which the 820-acre homestead law applies as coming within tho provision of the law, The states atTected,nro Oregon, Wash ington, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Ariona, Colorado and Mon tana. Included in the land designated by the secretary today aro 7,000,160 acres in Oregon and 8,576,960 acres in Washington. Diagrams showing the lands subject to entry are being sent to the local land offices. It is believed that 40 per cent of the area designat- ed,except in Nevada, is now held by individuals. If all the land designated were suitable for entry there would be 492,000 homesteads. May Appeal to Taft. Washington, April 27. President Taft may be asked by the American society of international law to take steps to stop tho massacres in Armenia. a resolution embodying this request was submitted this morning to the members of this society.

Killrnis tf tafia All Freight lata. Threa Thousand New York Women in Rush for Cheap Goods. New York. Anril 26. Upwards of 3.000 women Saturday engaged in one of the fiercest bargain riots at Broad way and Suydan streets, Williamsburg, that tho Brooklyn police nave ever been called upon to quell. The trouble was caused by liberally advertised sales by rival five and ten-cent stores, locat ed within a few doors of each other. These sales were advertised to begin at 8:30 o'clock, but long before o'clock women bcean to arrive and crowd about the unopened stores. Women from every quarter of Williams burg arrived to swell the crowd. When the doors opened at the designated hour, according to the reckoning of the police, more than 8,000 were packed into Broadwayi With a rush they forced their way Into the stores. So great was the crush from those who were struggling to be among the first to gain admission, that scores of women fell in a faint and were tram pied by women who followed. Police reserves were called out to quell the riot. Mounted men rode through the crowd, and by using their clubs were finally able to force the women back. SULTAN GIVES UP.

Acting upon tb suggestion of the Interstate Commerce commission, traffic officials of tbe Htx rimsn and Hill roads aro trying to work out a comprehensive scheme of freight rates which Bhall apply from the Middle West to Interior Pacific Coast points. The suggestion waa offered by the commission in the Spokane rate case decision, and' ia being acted upon by the railroads in a spirit of concession to public opinion. AH of the high traffic officials of the Harriman line are in Chicago working vigorously oyer what they declare to bo the most diffi cult problem they have ever undertak en to work out; a plan of transconti nental freight rates which shall please all shipping communities. The Spokane rate case decision fixed the rates only from St. Paal and Chi cago to Spokane, and suggested that the lines get together and agree upen an adjustment of rates to intermediate points. J. C. Stubbs, traffic manager' of the Harriman lines, saw: "It is the most difficult task. we have ever undertaken. We hope to be able to work out a scheme of rates not only in the Spokane, case, but for all the West, which will prove acceptable te the commission." ' ABDUL TO LOSE CROWN. Young Turks Decide That He Must Abdicate Throne. Constantinople, April 27. The de position of Sultan Abdul Hamid ap pears now to be certain, and the 101 guns saluting Mohammed Recbad Ef- fendi as the new ruler of the empire probably will be heard before the next selamlik on Friday. The dignitaries of the church care as little for Abdul Hamid as does the committee of anion and progress, but the higher clergy are seeking to curb the agitation of the enthusiasts of the Mohammedn. league. A caucus of senators and deputies today determined to make an effort te try to compel the saltan to abdicate under the ecclesiastical law, by the terms of which a decree may be issued by the sheik ul islam pronouncing the sultan incapable of ruling. Mohammed Reehad Effendi, the. heir apparent to the throne, has lived prac tically a prisoner for 25 years in the large palace and gardens not far from, the Yildtz Kiosk. Since the July revo lution he has only been on the streets looking through some of the carriages upon the scenes in the thoroughfares, which must have been straneelv in teresting to him.
