Riverside drive, which skirts Potomac
Park, this afternoon at o'clock. The
first band concert of the season will be
given here this afternoon by the Philip
pine Constabulary Band of eighty five

ence of Mrs. Taft that the drive has
been made a great gathering place for
the people of Washington. and for at
least two afternoons a week throughout
the pleasant weather, concerts will be
given there by the Marine Band and
other organizations. The Philippine Con-
stabulary Band will give but one per-
formance.

gram had been received from the mayor
of Toxic, Japan. offering as a gift LOCO
Towering Japanese cherry trees, to be

with this, and have accepted the offer
with thanks. About 100 of these beau
tiful little trees are available in Washing
ton at this time. and will be planted at
once.

In the conference committee for the
Increased rate The result will be a
hard fight between the two houses of
congress, and the lumber schedule
will be one of the things which may
possibly delay the agreement for a
long time.
The tariff rates on lumber are not
as complicated as they appear to be to
many outsiders. The basis Of the
whole schedule is the common rough
sawed lumber Of pine which has not
been planned or finished in any way.
Long ago the rate on this was 81 per
thousand.
Dingley Rates Surprised People.
When the Dingley law was in pro-
cess of construction sudden effort
was made to protect the lumber which
had been languishing under the free
trade policy of the democrats. The
result was a duty Of $2 per thousand.
which was almost double what the
people had been expecting.
That was not prohfbitory and q good
deal Of lumber has come into this
country The imports In the fiscal
year of 1907 were valued at 1853

the ground that 1t was unfair to cut
down their protection at all because
1t amounted to less than IL per cent,

Senate Votes to Fix the Rate
At $50 Per Thousand,
Dividing House Reduction
From the Law.

In Vote Taken Yesterday Par
~ Lines Were Forgotten,
Only Ten Democrats Stand
ing by Platform.

Washington, d. G.. June .24.-There
q bound to be q lower rate on lumber
now, the senate having voted yester-
day afternoon to fix duty Of $3.50
Per thousand on rough lumber not
planned or finished. The house rate
Was 81. 70 that when the conferees
come to,an agreement. this basic duty
on sawed boards Will not be lower
than 81, or more than $3.50. All hope
Of frUs lumber has disappeared. II
anybody ever had any, and the Ding
ley rates cannot be restored without
upsetting the whole tariff scheme.
This increase over the house rate
on lumber was made only by re-
m4rhable breaking up OF all party
lines in the senate. The test came on
m amendment proposed by Mr.. Nc
'Cumber. who comes from treeless
state, to restore the house rate Of 81
. thousand on rough lumber. This
was beaten by q decisive vote Of A to

was passed. so to IS.

old CHURCH SITE
FOR new SCHOOL
Father Mattingly Urges Con-

Needed Improvement.
OLD SCHOOL IS oUTGRoWN

OLD SCHOOL IS ouTGRoWN

The question OF what to do with the
present church building after the COM
pletion Of the new church. is now up
permost in the minds Of st. Mary's
church. Father Mattingly, pastor Of
the church, and a large number OF the
influential members favor construc-
ton OF new school building on the
site OF the present church. The school
building located on the southwest
corner Of Seventh and North A streets
directly a cross the street from the
church has filled its purpose and the
necessity OF q new building is fully
realized.
Father Mattingly in his sermon last
Sunday spoke Of the school work for
the past year. He commended the
pupils and the sisters ncharge, Of
the excellent showing made.
Mattinoly's Views.
Father Mattingly spent the last week
Of the school in the class rooms. He
declared in his sermon that this was
the first time the unfitness of the pres
emit building had been impressed upon
him. The noise from the streets
makes 1t hard for the pupils to con-
centrate their minds on their work. He
paid q compliment to the public school
OF the city saying that they were mod
ern in every respect and the best In
the state. In referring to the necessity
Of new building the location of the
present church was recommended as
the most desirable. The congregation
owns sufficient ground to erect build
ing large enough for it's needs and
have small yard around the entire
building
It will no doubt be some time before
the change is made. The congrega-
ton is at the present time meeting
the expense of the construction OF a
new church and parish house.
Although the congregation has re-
cefved several offers for the present
church property 1t will no doubt re-
tain 1t and dispose Of the present
school building site. Directors of the
Y. N. c. A. have stated that in few
years an addition would have to be
made to the association buildings and
considered this the most likely site
procurable. The change In the loca-
ton Of the school will make 1t possible
for the association to secure the site.

on the products Of the New England
mills.
After a long fight In the house It
was decided to cut the Dingley rate
In two. and the duty on rough boards
of 81 per thousand feet was fixed up
on. The senate has increased this so
per cent and made the rate $50.
This duty on rough lumber carries
with 1t the rates on finished boards.
The senate schedules provide that
a board which Is finished on one side
shall pay 81 per thousand. on two
$2.25. and three sides 3275. and on
four sides 50. This is reduction OF
approximately Is per cent from the
Dingley rates and about the same
amount more than the house rates.
