CLOSE ON ONE PROPOSAL
Tawney Amendment to Admit Free of
Duty All but Finished Lumber Lost
by a Vote of 170 to 176—Fordney
Amendment 8triking Out the Pro
vision for a Countervailing Duty
Adopted.
Washington, April T.—The house
overwhelmingly adopted the Fordney
amendment to the Payne tariff bill
striking out the provision for a coun
tervailing duty on lumber.
This amendment was pending when
Consideration .of the bill was resumed.
A parliamentary snarl at once was
encountered as to whether or not
Other amendments would be permitted
Under the rule adopted. The point
was raised by Mr. Clark of Missouri,
the minority leader. A number of
members were immediately on their
feet endeavoring to put their construc
tion upon the rule and to allay the im
pending excitement the chair had the
rule read for information. Messrs.
Fitzgerald of New York and Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, both on the committee
On rules, contended that individual
amendments under the rule could be
Offered.
The chair ruled that other amend
ments could be offered, but that the
committee amendment offered by Mr.
Fordney had i recedence. The situsi-

A N E S O N
tion again became clouded by the of
fering of a substitute amendment by
Mr. Clark, who desired to speak to it,
but the chair ruled that Mr. Fordney
was entitled to the floor. Mr. Ford
ney said he introduced his amendment
with great regret, as the provision it
sought to strike out was a meritorious
one. "I am offering the amendment,"
he declared, "and will vote for it, but
It causes me to sweat blood In doing
eo."
Mr. Tawney of Minnesota jumped
up with a substitute. Mr. Clark, who
also claimed the floor,
was
nized.
Clark Wants Tret Lumber.
The Clark substitute, which was
then read, provided for amending sev
eral sections by placing lumber on the
free list.
Mr. Tawney contended that two
paragraphs could not be covered in
one amendment and offered an entire
substitute for the lumber schedule,
uiodifing but retaining the duty.
The chair ruled that the Fordney
amendment had precedence.
Against the protests of Mr. Tawney
the chair recognized Mr. De Armond
of Missouri for an amendment as a
substitute to the countervailing pro
vision providing fcr the free admis
sion of lumber from all parts of the
Western hemisphere. The De Armond
amendment was lost, 131 to 178, thirty
Democrats voting with the Republic
ans.
The Fordney amendment was over
whelmingly adopted by a viva voce
vote. Mr. Tawney at once reoffered
his amendment, which, he said, would
take the duty off all lumber included
in paragraph 197 of the bill, except
finished lumber, the duty on which
would be materially reduced. He
would later, he said, offer an amend
ment placing rough lumber on the
free list.
The Tawney amendment was lost
on division. 151 to 173, party align
ments beinfc badly broken. A vote by
tellers on l:i domand also resulted in
being l03t, 170 to 178.

Monopolies Must Be Checked oi
Revolution May Result
St. Louis, April 7.—"If these monop
olies are permitted to exist un
checked," declared Special United
States Attorney General Frank B. Kel
logg, addressing the federal court in
the course of his argument to have
the Standard Oil company dissolved
FRANK B. KELLOGQ.
as a violator of the Sherman act,
"your children and mine will be mere
employes of corporations and all fur
ther initiative of enterprise will
cease."
Further in his address Mr. Kellogg
said impressively: "The defense prob
ably will declare that it cannot be
checked because of existing condi
tions and its prominence In the econ
omies of the country, but history has
shown that when unchecked by court
or legislation monopolies have been
stopped by revolution."
The federal lawyer made an extend
ed argument on his understanding qt
monopolies as defined by the Sherman
act and again and again reiterated his
cardinal point that in its very concep
tion the Standard had been rocked in
a cradle of conspiracy and grew up a
lusty infant of monopoly and restraint

spondent? sent to Naples to chron
their impressions of Mr. Roosevelt i.
that the former president of the Ui.it
ed States is absorber! in himself. They
describe hi* cabin as filled with his
books and littered with photograph
ol himself and the members of his
family. They say that the only ob
jeit not relating to Mr. Roosevelt him
self in his cabin was a photograph of
Emperor William, bearing the Impe
rial signature in green ink.
Mr. Roosevelt talked freely, but
principally about himself and hit
work, the correspondents say, and he
manifested a disposition to "preach.'
In his conversation be touched upon
his Knickerbocker ancestry and his
experiences as a ranchman in the Far
West. Turning to politics he said he
had been elected to the presidency as
a representative of honesty against
the power of gold.
Oil Kings and Steel Emperors.
"I have always maintained that
probity in prjyate life is yidispensibl#
to public life," Mr. Roosevelt is quot
ed as saying. "I have fought the oil
kings and the steel emperors they
tried to break my back, but my back
instill intict."
Mr. Roosevelt is further quoted as
having said that the president of the
United States was more powerful than
any constitutional monarch of Europe.
He pointed out, the French corre
spondents aver, that he possessed tlit
power of veto that he appointed tlu
entire diplomatic corps and the higl.
governmental functionaries and that
he was a maker of treaties with onlj
the consent of those which he charac
terized as the "national regulator.'
He said that for the two terms while
president he spent his time in fighting
the trusts and that he rejoiced that ht
had left behind an America where the
only king will be the state. "Tlu
machinery of state will now roll ot
without me," Mr. Roosevelt is quotec
as saying, "but with the impetus 1
have given Mr. Taft. my good succes
sor, will build the Panama canal, con
tinue to increase the army and navy
and check the trusts if they again be
come too obstreperous."

nearly twenty-four hours here, whert
he was given an enthusiastic welcom*

proves its real worth. This is because of
its much greater leavening power and the
strict purity of its ingredients.
It costs only a trifle more than the chfap

Before going on board the Admira'
Mr. Roosevelt thanked the head of thi
Neapolitan police, Chevalier Cala
bresi, for the excellent protection af
forded him during his stay on shore
Mr. Roosevelt was accompanied ev
erywhere by the chief.
During an audience with the mayoi
of Naples this official conveyed to Mr
Roosevelt a special vote of the munlc
ipal council, thanking the former pres
ident and the American people for the
succor sent from the United States tc
the earthquake sufferers. Mr. Roose
velt expressed his appreciation of
this communication He said there
should be no question of gratitude
The earthquake gave the American
people an opportunity to show their
sympathy in this unparalleled disastei
which had made Italy at once the
creditor of the whole world.
Mr. Roosevelt will leave the Ad
miral for a short visit to the ruins of
Messina. He found on board the
steamer Signor Trincheri, the prefect
of Messina, who, by order of Premier
Giolitti, came up to Naples to accom
pany Mr. Roosevelt on his inspection
of the city.
