WANT PULP TARIFF CUT.
Half Dozen Members Present Bills
for Change Ira Schedule.


While members Of the Ways and Means
Committee intimate that now is a bad
time for the Republican contingent TO
tinker with the tariff. there seems to be
some possibility that influence enough
viii be brought to bear this session for
the removal of the tariff on wood pulp
and to have works Of art introduced into
the country free Of duty.
No less than half dozen bills on each
subject have been presented in the House
and as the Presidents message contained
a recommendation for a change in the
wood-pulp schedule and an agreement
with Canada, it seems more than likely
something will be done.
AT the same time, under direction Of
the President. Investigation is being made
into the workings Of the so-called paper

white paper to the point that newspaper
publication on a small scale is rap

Of all sorts asking for change.

BANKING COMMITTEE MEETS.
subcommittee VIII Draft Bill to Pre-
sent In House.

The new Banking and Currency Com
mittee of the House met yesterday morn
ing, and for two and Il half hours dis
cussed the currency situation in all of its
phases. its causes, effects. and its rem
edy. Upon each Of these questions there
was wide difference OF opinion. but il
was stated after the adjournment that
the committee was more nearly in accord
on the matter of the necessity for some
action than any previous Banking and
Currency Committee has been for sew
eraI Congresses.
All Of the members took part in the dis
cussion and made suggestions. Chair
man Fowler stated that he had been
authorized by the committee to name a
subcommittee of five members. which will
DRAG a measure 10 submit to the full
committee.
This he will do either to-day or to-mor-
row. AS soon as this measure is prepared
IL viii be presented to the full committee
which will then grant hearings to
finaneiers and business men. whose inter-
ests arc most affected and who have
opinions 10 advance. This is taken TO
mean that no measure can be reported TO
the House much If any before the holi-
day recess, and certainly that no action
can be had until after the reassembling of
Congress.

LODGE AND CARTER TILT.
Formers Amendment 10 Senate
Rules Starts Debate.

Formers Amendment to Senate
Rules starts Debate.
As result of his little tilt with the
Vice President in the Senate Monday.
when he insisted upon the calling of the
roll before any business was transacted,
Senator Lodge. OF Massachusetts. yester-
day offered an amendment 20 rule 3 Of
the rules of the Senate. 10 make it man
datory that upon the assembling OF a new
Congress the roll call shall precede the
business of the first days session.
At present, a quorum is assumed upon
all occasions in the Senate, as IL is a
continuing body. unlike the House. which
is renewed every two years A Senator
may demand a roll call at any tine by
questioning the presence Of a quorum, but
the Chair has no power 20 order a roll
call unless such question is raised.
Mr.. Lodges suggestion led 10 a forensic
contest between himself and Senator Car
ter. Of Montana. who defended the old
form OF procedure as an expedient one,
owing to the danger that on the first as.
sembling of a new Congress the Senate,
before the new members have been sworn
in, might find itself in an embarrassing
position IL the question of quorum
were raised and sustained after the call
ing of the roll only OF the Senators whose
terms had not expired with the preced-
ing Congress. Mr.. Lodge then suggested
that the first roll call include the Sena-
tors-eleet also.
Senator Gallinger's recognition by the
Chair to submit the first bill of the Six
deth Congress put an end 70 the debate,
and the resolution went over.

sides on mail routes OF more than four
thousand miles TO South America and 10

BUSY DAY IN SENATE.
Presentation OF Bills Occupies Major
Portion of Session.

Yesterday was the first bill day in the
Senate. and for more than an hour after
the Senate met the paper deluge con-
tinued. Senator Gallinger, Of New Hamp-
shire. was the first Senator recognized.
He had about score of bills, the most
important ouside of the District bills be-
ing In relation to the personnel OF the
Revenue-cutter Service; to promote the
efficiency Of the Life-saving Service. and
a mail subsidy bill.
Senator Platt had a few pension bills.
and also a voluminous currency bill. Sen
ator TilIman objected TO the reading Of
the bills and memorials by titles. as
time-consuming task.
NO Senator cares anything about his
bills after they are introduced and the
titles are printed in the Record" said Mr..
Tillman. The publication can be as easily
obtained by handing the bills 10 the
clerk"
Mr.. Tillman proposed that hereafter
Senators pursue the latter method in
minor bills. declaring that such course
is sanctioned by the Senate rules.
The creation Of a permanent commits
sion for the improvement of inland water
ways, and a permanent fund of $4,000, ,GO0
to be replenished by issues Of bonds. is
the object OF a bill offered by Senator
Newlands. Of Nevada
Mr.. Newlands also introduced his bill
Of the last session, providing for the
compulsory incorporation under national
law of railroads engaged in Interstate
commerce. State police powers or control
Of local traffic are not disturbed. but
State taxation is TO be uniform. The
measure gives the Interstate Commerce
Commission control over the capitaliza-
tion of the roads the fixing Of rates and
dividends limiting the latter to per
cent.
Mr.. Hansbrough, of North Dakota, in
trOduced his bill authorizing a central
bank OF issue. Mr- La Toilette, OF Wis
cOnsin. proposed a measure directing the
Interstate Commerce Commission TO
make an appraisement of the value Of all
the physical properties of interstate car
riers.
Senator Teller of Colorado. introduced
a bill for the admission into the Union
as a State of the Territory Of New Mex
leo. The Arizona statehood bill was in
troduced later by Senator Flint, OF Cali
fornia
Senator Dick OF Ohio, re-introduced his
bill for increasing the pay of the army,
navy. and marine corps.

OF nominations, adjourned at 2:30 until

Editor The Washington Herald:
Pray aid me in my effort to correct
certain popular errors as to the making
of our existing Federal Constitution;
errors which reappear in an article in
the Buffalo News OF the 9Oth uIto. as to
Pelatiah Webster. That paper states. as
a good many people state who have given
no special study to the subject. that
Just such "a Constitution as we have
was in the air before even Webster pub
lished his pamphlet, which was undoubt
edly the first appearance of the plan in
public form But for years before the
Webster plea was published Hamilton was
writing to friends detailing similar ideas
which must have been discussed freely
with Washington himself. on whose staff
Hamilton was serving at the time" In
the first place, it is impossible foc con-
stitution TO De in the air. in the second
place, it is an entirely fanciful assump-
ton that FOR years before the Webster
plea was published Hamilton was writing
to friends detailing similar ideas which
must have been discussed freely with
Washington himself on whose STAFF Ham
iiton was serving at the time" There IS
not the shadow OF foundation for the
idea that Hamilton or any other person
had prior to February IS. 17S5. put forth
any similar ideas or discussed in any
form the plan Of a new Constitution II
the Buffalo News had taken a paragraph
from "Gulliver's Travels and offered IL
as a part OF the history Of that epoch il
would be equally authentic In discussing
