PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS IN HI
Friday, April 30.
Washington, April 80.— An extend
ed apsach by McCumber favoring fraa
lumbar occupied several hours in the
senate today. His remarks provoked
an extended controversy among advo
cates o f a tariff on lumber.
McCum-
ber said, while he was a thorough pro
tectionists, be would not agree to a
tariff on products such as coal. Iron
ore, lumber and oil, that are being ex
hausted and cannot be replaced.
Aldrich reported from the committee
on finance additional amendments to
the bill and the senate adopted a mo
tion made by him that until further no
tice the senate shall meet at 11 o ’clock
daily.
McCumber presented statistical esti
mate to show that the coal o f the
United States at the present rate o f
consumption would last 100 years, iron
ore 60 years, lumber 80 years and oil
from 20 to 60 years, and maintained
that the best way to conserve these
supplies would be to permit free im
portation o f such products.
Thursday, April 20.
Washington, A pril 29.— The entire
time o f the senate was given again to
day to the general discussion o f the
tariff bill. Rayner, o f Maryland, led
off with a general denunciation o f the
protective system o f the Republican
party. He was followed by Nelson, o f
Minnesota, who made an earnest plea
for the admiaaion o f lumber free o f
duty. His assertions aroused a general
discuasion, which was participated in
by Hale, Carter, McLaurin, McCum
ber, Elkins, Aldrich, and Gallagher.
Rayner denounced tLe measure as
fa ilin g to provide revenue and protect
ing the industries controlled by trusts
rather than givin g any relie f to the
consumers o f the country.
Rayner
frequently entered upon oratorical
fig h ts and concluded with a series o f
condemnations o f the trusts. He de
clared his belief in incidental protec
tion in order to maintain wages o f
American workmen.
Nelson manifested especial satisfac
tion over the discovery by himself o f
what he said where numerous ‘ ’ jokers"
in the lumber schedule. W hile the
rates o f duty on lumber were suppos
edly lowered, be said, they in fact were
higher even than the Dingley rates.
Carter declared that congress was
paying out $6,000,000 to protect the
timber in its forests, while at the same
tim e it was proposing to levy a tariff
duty on lumber to encourage cutting
down the fonts.
Wednesday, April 28.
Washington, A p ril 28.— An exhaust
ive treatment o f the lumber schedule
o f the tariff by Simmons, o f North
Carolina, was the feature o f the ses
sion o f the senate today. Simmons ad
vocated the retention o f the present
tariff, which, he maintained, was but
a revenue rate.
Simmons opposed the proposed reduc
tions in the lumber tariff, principally,
be said, because labor constituted a
larger element in the cost o f producing
dumber than in the coat o f producing
any other manufactured product, and
furthermore that the lumber was a
competitor with some o f the articles
which added to the cost o f its produc
tion.
The present crusade against a lum
ber duty, Simmons charged, had been
instigated by speculators having in
terests in Canada. He declared there
was no lumbal trust.
Speaking on his amendment provid
in g for a constitutional amendment
authorising an income tax, Brown, o f
Nebraska, said congress owed it to the
people to be given a chance to say
whether the constitution should be
made to sanction a system o f taxation
approved by the majority o f American
citisens and by the economists o f the
entire civilised world.
Painter, o f Kentucky, suggested
that the Supreme court o f the United
States, as now cpnstituted, might
change its former opinion holding an
income tax law unconstitutional.
Brown replied that be was ready to
support any bill providing fo r such a
tax.
Upon Brown’s request the resolution
was deferred to the committee on judi
ciary.
Q
i ' Tuesday. Aoril 27.
Washington, April 27.—A s the last
half .of his two-days’ speech, Bailey
devoted nearly three hours in the sen
ate . today to a discussion o f the legal
aspect of his income tax amendment to
¿he tariff bill, citing numerous cases
and authorities to maintain the view
that ■ such a lfew would be constitu
tional. He was interrupted frequently
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
the South. Gore, o f Oklahoma, de
nounced the protective tariff.
Bailey discussed the nature o f direct
taxation and said that question had
never been satisfactorily settled.
He
said it was a matter o f regret that the
framers o f the constitution did nut sat
isfactorily define what a direct tax was.
Scott declared he advocated protee-

Washington, April 29.— Ellwood C.
Hughes, for 20 years a lawyer o f Se
attle, has been tendered by President
T a ft an appointment to the newly cre

tion not only because be believed it
was the best policy for his own state
o f W est V irginia and for the South,
but also for the entire country.
He
declared i f the rate on lumber should
be reduced— 48 per cent o f all the lum
ber manufactured is the United 8tates
being produced in the South— there
would be nothing le ft for the American
lumberman to do but to cut wages.

Clark, o f Wyoming, said the coal
miners o f his state were paid the high
est rate o f wages paid in any state or
country and said that that condition o f
prosperity would be destroyed by free
coal.
Monday, April 28.
Washington, A pril 26.— Denouncing
the principle o f a protective tariff as
unfair in taking money from one man
to g iv e it to another in order to encour
age him in the pursuit o f an otherwise
unprofitable business, Bailey, o f Texas,
delivered ia the senate today a set
speech on the Democratic side in oppo
sition to the pending tariff bill. A fte r
he had proceeded without interruption
fo r more than an hour, several senators
engaged in colloquies with him.
Bailey favored restriction o f immi
gration as a protection to American
labor.
Aldrich retorted that while Bailey
was ready to keep out the foreign la
borer, be was not averse to allowing
the product o f this cheap labor to come
into competition with the product o f
American workingmen.
Bailey w ill resume tomorrow, when
he w ill devote his attention to the
purely legal aspects o f an income tax
law.
Overman, o f North Carolina, offered
an amendment to the tariff b ill in the
senate today in which he proposes to
place a head tax o f $12 on each immi
grant coming into the United States.
Half-Section Homsteads.
Washington, May 1.— Secretary Bal
linger today designated 157,176,800

individuals. I f all the land designated
were suitable fo r entry there would be
492,000 homesteads.
May Appeal to Taft.
Washington, A p ril 27.— President

Chicago, A pril 80.— Tw o terrific
storms, sweeping over Middle West
states within 12 hours o f each other
yesterday paralyzed the region from

Constitutionalists Invoke Rigid Justice
to Leaders o f Uprising.
Constantinople, A p ril 30.— The Con
stitutionalists have lost no time in
bringing the conspirators in the recent
rising to trial. , The m ilitary court,
sitting in the war office today con
demned about 260 prisoners to death,
and they were executed.
N adir Pasha, the second eunuch o f
the palace, whose sentence was pro
nounced Wednesday, was hanged at
dawn on the Galata bridge and his
body was viewed by thousands. The
national assembly, which met under
the presidency o f Said Pasha, decided
that the sultan should take the oath o f
the constitution within a week. The
assembly also ratified the removal o f
Abdul Hamid to Saloniea.
The government has decided to send
a commission to Adana to try by court
martial the instigators o f the massa
cres and the committee is authorised
to act with the utmost severity.
I t is alleged that the chief authors
o f the recent mutiny were Abdul
Hamid's favorite son, Prince Mehmed
Bur ban Eddine; Rear Admiral Saind
Pasha, son o f Kiam il Pasha, the ex
grand vizier, and N adir Pasha, who
were engaged for a long tim e prior to
the rising in corrupting the troops.

Bandits Loot Mail C ar on Northern
Pacific Railroad.
Spokane, Wash., A pril 30.— Two
men held up Northern Pacific train No.
8 last night at 10:25 o ’ clock, three
miles east o f Houser Junction, and 25
miles east o f Spokane.
Conductor A . F. M iley states that
the robbers cut the engine and one
mail car from the train, took two shots
at the fireman, missing him by a very
narrow margin, ordered him off the en
gine and put a gun to Engineer Whit
tlesey’s head, commanding him to go
ahead until they told him to stop. The
other robber took the place o f the fire
man, and as they passed Houser at
10:80 be was throwing coal into the
firebox in an inexperienced manner.
This, together with the fact that
there were no markers on the rear o f
the train, and as the engine crew dis
regarded signals, it was at once sur
mised by the operator here that it was
a holdup, and he at once notified the
dispatcher in Spokane to that effe ct
Officials in Spokane as well as Rath-
drum were at once notified, and while
the mail car was being robbed between
Trent and Yardley, posses were form
ing at either side o f the robbers.

MANUFACTURERS BUILDING.
On the eastern aide of Geyser Basin, at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex
position, the handsome Manufacturers Building looks across the reetlees
waters of the Cascades and the flashing foam of "O ld Faithful,” the re
production of lta namesake in Yellowstone National Park.
Its location Is the moet central of any of the exposition buildings, and
lta architectural design is especially fitting for the position It has been
given. It was one of the first great exhibition palaces to be completed,
and before the end of Inst year was ready for the reception of its vast col
lection of exhibits. It will house a magnificent assortment of the highest
examples of man’s ingenuity and Invention, and within «Its walla will be
gathered specimens of manufactured articles from ■the workshops of every
M tion o f Importance in the world.
It overlooks the finest of the formal gardens of the exposition, and Its
splendid line o f pergolas, with their vine-covered columns and blossoming
Sowers, complete n reetful and pleasing view. A t no p u t o f the grounds
can be seen a more beautiful illuminating effect than, la preaented from
the open pergolas darin g the lute evening and early night. A million
sparkling electric bulbs flash their white lights through the waters and.
scattered throughout the greenery, hundreds o f electroliers mingle their
many hues with the riot of colors. Looking down the gentle slope of
Rainier Avenue the floating craft of two lakes ia brought Into vision and
adds the delights o f a broad, light-sprinkled stretch of forest-encloeed
waters to the whole effect.
