. .. I . $ - " ' ' ' ' Willi LIEU UJ 11 Alleged Cracking of Tart's Whip Held to Forecast . ' Actual Revision. TT TT- -A: TT RE Qlllll MrklLir i . 1 t t ' i"it. ..... ' - L By John E. Lathrop.. ( Washington, Nov. 21. The past 24 hours have wrought an entire change In the feeling' of confidence existing among the visiting lumber men, who had all thought it assured that the lumber duty would not be changed this winter or next summer. Tonight nearly every lumberman ad , mils the chances are that either the duty will be removed or , a terrific fight -will ensue between Speaker Cannon and the Incoming as well as the present administration. "The administration la pledged to " the removal of the inmber-duty," Bald one lumberman; "this ' be lieve beyond question." ; Proof was offered in the visit of Forester Pinchot to the meeting of lumbermen, where he stated frankly that so far as he had gone Into the aubJecV he. favored the , removal or, material reduction of the . lumber fluty. 'rr:- vp:,' ;;. "The whole, plan reata on the ne cessity for. the conservation of our forests." Pinchot told the lumber men. "If a better plan can be evolved, then I am for that plan, but the present consumption Is .three times aa much as we grow' annually and It means the entire destruction , of , our forests ? hence we must do something to save the situation.. The free entry of Canadian lumber might relieve the situation; if so, then we should remove the duty." - - I have seen many telegrams sent home by lumbermen viBitlng here saying, as In one Instance: ' '.There Is absolutely no hope of an Increase of the, duty. , We -will do well if we save any of the pres ent tariff." ' The change In the situation Is due to no voiunxary aci on vuw jmn. u the .majority membership of the ways and means committee, but arises-la the report that Taft has decided to oppose Cannon for re election because the latter, and . his close friends, it is feared, have de termined to carry through a fake plan for the revision of the tariff. This report, from Hot Springs, Va., wrought a remarkable change in the attitude of Chairman Payne and his supporters. , .Already the lumbermen are lay--Ing plans to carry on the fight all winter for defeating the removal or; reduction of the tariff It possible. Facta developed during the lum ber agitation today indicate a Bar aga contest between the Taft and the Cannon-Aldrich forces unless a compromise is patched . up soon. It Is noticeable that already a ma jority of the lumber representatives here are aligning in aupport of Can non, anticipating his fight, against the revision forces, which mean to thoroughly rearrange the schedules.

Good twin, Impersonating Cameo Klrby on h : stags of the Dtrolt opera toouse. fled ' from ft posse this afternoon a real, live constable with ft real star descended upon the actor's room at the hotel and seized the Goodwin trunk. It was all a dispute over a little mat 4er of $20, the amount of the bill of Er. Marcus Scheer, chiropodist. Goodwin's spirit was one of defiance ifetu his manager was more equable of toilnd. He took Dr. Scheer aside and something; that looked like a yellowback jassed from hand to hand. Then the constable was called off. . . , JOHN W. GATES' .
