Washington, March 20.—The mono
tony o f the tariff debate in the boose
w as relieved for a time today by a
clash between Fordney o f Michigan,
and Byrd o f M ississippi, which came
near ending in blows. Fordney had
been discussing the lumber schedule
when he was interrupted by the Mis-
sissipplan, who insisted that the lum
b e r manufacturers, o f whom Fordney
was one, were in a trust. Fordney
peremptorily denied the statement and
■said that Byrd “ did not know a/lamned
thing about i t ”
Opposed to Fordney was Howland o f
O h io, who wanted the product placed
-on the free list.
Others who spoke
were Poo o f North Carolina, and Ma
co n o f Arkansas, both o f whom ar
raigned the Payne bill for not sect
pHshing what it was pretended it
would, do, while Humphrey o f Wash
ington advocated a tariff on shingles
and lumber high enough to enable the
lumber and shingle manufacturera o f
n is state to com pete with those o f
B ritish Columbia em ploying cheap Ori
en tal labor.
Thursday, March 2 4 .
W ashington, March 25.—Alm ost ev
e r y shade o f opinion on tariff revision
was represented today on the Payne
hill. A fter a general assault by Un

fended by Crumpaeksr a t Indiana, one
o f its fraasera, who is a pronounced ad
vocate o f free raw materials and such
tariff on finished products as w ill fo s
ter home manufactures without breed
ing m onopolistic trusts. Then came
Sheppard, o f Texas, with an attack on
the sincerity o f the Republicans in
carrying out their revisitn pledge.
> o f W isconsin, denounced
the countervailing duty on oil as a
boon to the Standard, but Smith o f
Colorado, and Vreoland o f New York,
said this duty was not on the Standard,
but on the producer o f crude oil.
The bill was called up by Payne im
mediately after the body convened, and
the debate was opened by Underwood
o f Alabama, who spoke at length in
opposition.
United States, and free hides would
not be a menace to the farmers.
The inheritance tax, he said,
preferable to an income tax, because
it would not give rise to perjury or
fraud. He held also that an income
tax was unconstitutional.
Clark, o f Missouri, followed and had
proceeded but a minute or two when,
at the suggestion o f Payne, he suspend
ed and the bouse adjourned.
Payne said that the men who wanted
the Dingley duty on lumber retained

actuated solely by motives o f gn
