FREE LUMBER DEFEATED
Overwhelming Majority Mustered
Against Amendment Taking
Hides From the Free List
Barley Sche dlie Up.

Washington, d. c., April G.-Wrang-
ling. confusion. captious objections,
personality and language bordering
onytuperatiOn marked the first day s
discussion of the Payne tariff bill for
amendment in the house today. With
practically ful attendance. the mem
bers were brought up to high tension
and were prepared to fight to the
last ditch for those things whicn
their constituents were demanding
The entire day practically was con
sumed in the discussion of the lum-
Der and hides schedules. Led by
Tawney of Minnesota, the advocates S
Of free lumber in the house, went
down TO defeat by the narrow margin
of six votes, following the striking
out of the couluservailing duty on
lumber
An overwhelming majority Yves
mustered against the amendment by
Scott of Kansas, taking hides from
the free list and fixing a duty upon
them OF ten per cent al Valofeoi.
Tho barley schedule came in for a
lively discussion, and when the bill
was laid aside for the day there were
pending two amendments, one rails
ing the rate in the Payne bill from IL
cents to 25 cents per bushel, and the
other fixing the rate at ten per cent
ad valorem
The sum total of the days work
with the exception of the elimination
of the countervailing duty on lumber,
which was committee amendment,
was to leave the bill in identical'y
the condition in which the committee
reported it, This grants free raw
hides and a duty of 81 per thousand
OH sawed lumber.

THE BIG STORES
ARE RESPONSIBLE
INSTiGATE OPPoSi- ION TO IN
CREASED DUTY ON HOSIERY
AND GLOVES.
STATEMENT BY PAYNE
Declares That Those Opposing In
crease Are Interested In Euro
pean Factories Producing
=, Hosiery or Gloves.

Washington, April G.--Accusing the
large department store of having IN.
stigated the opposition Of many
women aud "hysterical men" against
1.-THE increased dutic- provided by the
Payne tariff bill of womens gloves
and hosiery. Representative PAYNE,
chairman of the house ways and
means committee, today, in a state
ment which will be printed In the
Congressional Record, asserted that
The importers who oppose the duties
were interested In firms abroad which
make gloves and hosiery.
He presented various arguments
in an effort to justify the increased
rates from the Republican standpoint
OF protection, contending that the diff
United States and abroad was not
covered by the duties levied by the
Dingley law. Claiming that the new
tariff increases the duty from ! 2.3
cents per pair to 2ts cents per pair
Payne declared that there was no
truth in the assertion that the price
of hosiery will be increased 25 cents
per pair to customers.
He riiculcd the suggestion that in
creased duties will result in the for
nation of Hosiery trust" an act
which he said had been advanced by
the importers Payne asserted that
scores of petitions have been received
by the committee asking that IN
creased duties might be retained in
order that the working people Of the
country may make stockings used In
lhe Inited States.
Payne argued thar the increased
duties on womcn's gloves were made
justiiiabIe for tho purpose OF protec-
tion and revenue.
He cited the conditions resulting
from tho protection afforded the
of mems gloves by the
Dingley bill
'E'rior to 1894. they were making
: or 10 per cent of the mems gloves
he said, 'but they said the Guty was
so low that they were being driven
out of the business, and statistics
seemed to back up their assertions
Today they demonstrate to us that
they are making over 80 per cent
OF the mems gloves worn In this
country, having amply rcdemeed
their promise, and that the cost to
the consumer Is much less than ii was
prior to 1897"
They came before the committee
early in the hearing and proved to
us that it cost no morce and required
no more skill to make womens
gloves than mems ana claimed that
If the same rate of duty was given
them, in time, the could make the
same percentage of womer's gloves
and that this industry would employ
at least $4,000 people

Hoo TO Select Shrubs

Shrubs as a rule are intended as a
frame for the yard or garden. They
are planted around the borders Of the
lawn, or used to screen the founda-
ton of the house, or to fill in corners.
The shrubbery frame for the yard
or garden should be formed on the
same principle asa picture frame,
the border of rug, etc. 1t should
harmonic with the picture it en-
closes, and each shrub in the border
should harmonic with its compan-
ions. Too often no attention is paid
to this kind of harmony and the
shrubbery border becomes a thing of
shreds and patches, made up OF
snowy bushes, perhaps beautiful
plants in themselves, but arranged
without regard to the effect of the
shape, color and general appearance
of one upon the whole.
In choosing shrubs to grow side by
side consider the foliage and flowers
as carefully as you consider the size
and shape of the bush. Do not put
large masses of light green foliage
next to masses of dark or you will
have patchy effect. By care in Sc
lection as regards Towering season
you may be sure of having one or
more plants in the border in blossom
a. all times during the summer. TWO
shrubs that blossom the same time
should not be placed together if the
colors clash In the summer study
your shrubbery border and make
notes as to new plants needed their
color, size and Towering season, and
also what old plants may profitably
be moved. These notes will enable
you to work accurately in the fall, af-
ter the blooming season, or in the
spring. Care in selecting and ar
ranging the plants in your home
grounds will never be regretted.

special fight for the protection of
game birds by projecting their nest
Ing grounds. The WOmen's cubs OF
III state have started crusade
against bird millinery. The abolish
lDeAt OF spring shooting is receiving
attention.
The state OF Mississippi has a
mouel A. .. U. bird law, and this
year appointed a special agent to at
tend 10 IS enforcement. In this state
much is being done to interest the
farmers in the value Of bird protec-
ton. The Nebraska society circu-
Iates travelling Audubon Libraries.
In New Hampshire the passage OF
a flVe-year close season on wood duck
and plOVer has resulted in a greaL in
crease i'll numbers Of these species.
In New Jersey fund is being raised
for the purchase of a coast bird
refuge.
In New York the bird and game
laws have been revised. There is now
no open season at any time for the
shooting Of wood duck, and the shore
birds OF Long Island have received
additional protection. The cost of
hunling licenses to nOn-residents and
alien hunters has been increased to
twenty dollars. A law to prohibit
the sale of the plumage of wild birds
is to be passed.
The Audubon society Of North Car
DINA employs during the year 80
game Wardens. In 1908 the society
brought nearly 300 prosecutions into
the state courts for violations OF the
bird and game protective laws. An
additional launch for doing coast pa
troll work has been purchased.
The work of the Ohio state associa-
ton in prosecuting milliners for the
sale Of birds and aigrettes has at
tracted great attertio A legislative
bill offering a state bounty for the
killing Of hawks and owls was de-
feated. Bird clubs are being or
gained in the public schools Of the
state. In Oregon the state society
and best class of sportsmen opposed
an effort to have the time for the
spring shooting of ducks extended.
In Texas rigorous efforts are being
made to suppress dove slaughter.
State officials and railways are Civ
ing the local Audubon work their
strong support. The next legislature
is expected to provide additional reve-
nues for the support Of the present
game warden system. In Washing,
ton the bird protection laws are being
well observed and strongly enforced.
