TO FIGHT ANY REDUCTION

Dealers and These Will he Joined
Later by Representatives From the
Lumber Producing States.

Washington, March 23.-Meeting an
hour earlier than usual the house of
representatives today continued the
consideration of the tariff bill. His
speech being uncompleted. Chairman
Payne resumed his remarks and these
consumed several hours time He
will be followed by Representative
Clark of Missouri, minority leader and
the members of the ways and means
committee. who continued the re-
mainder of the day. The senate was
not in session today.
Lumbermen Protest.
Chicago, March 23.-At a meeting
of lumbermen held here today it was
decided to send q committee of ten to
Washington to fight the Payne bill
which contemplates revision of the
lumber duties. Delegates from other
states will join the Chicagoans in
Washington. The lumbermen declare
that the Payne bill discriminates
against the west, north and south in
favor Of the east.
When the house met there was a
slim attendance of members which led
Macon (Ark.) to suggest the absence
Of a quorum. AS Payne was to con-
tinue his explanation of the tariff bill
the Arkansas member said he should
be given a full hearing. The point
was not pressed however. and Mr..
Payne took the floor. No sooner had
he begun than he was piled with ques-
tions from all sides. He was asked
this time by Moore, (Pa.) If there
would be an opportunity to offer
amendments to the bill in the house,
''or," Moore added. must we look else
where?" meaning the senate. THAT"
replied Payne, "is entirely in the judg-
ment of the house and in ito control"
All he was seeking to do, he said, was
to finish his speech and to him 1t
seemed an impossible task. In his re-
plies to the questions, Mr.. Payne was
decidedly more aggressive than he was
yesterday. He made a geenral attack
on the so-called hide trust and said,
"the big four" packers controlled the
hide industry in the United States.
The result of placing hides on the free
list, Payne declared would be to
protect the independent tanners and
give work to the men employed by
them. 1t won't hurt anybody in the
United States" he said, except the
mtddlemen and the packers"

The crowds on the pier and the
street were 80 great that the ex-presi-
dent was severely jostled several
times but he was not hurt and smiled
through it all.
With the ex-president's departure
begins the most interesting Journey
that was ever undertaken by an ex-
president Of the United States. Gen.
Grant circumnavigated the globe. bnt
1t was for the most part In the beaten
paths Of travel, while Roosevelt is
going into a wild and almost unex-
plored country.
The ex-president. on his arrival at
the Hamburg-American line pier In
Hoboken, was greeted with bands
playing, flags flying and the cheers
OF several thousand people who had
assembled to wish the distinguished
traveller God speed. He was beaming
with good nature and enthusiasm
about the trip. everything was fine
and "bully" to Roosevelt and he ac-
knowledged the cheering by repeated
ly raising his hat. The steamship
company had been besieged with re-
quests from local and out OF town
delegations for places on the pier and
as many of them as possible were ac-
commodated.
Old Guide Calls
One of the last visitors to call ON
Mr.. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay was NJ.
F. Cronin of North Creek, the Adiron-
dack guide and driver who brought
Mr.. Roosevelt on the neck breaking
midnight ride from Adelaer to North
Creek. N. Y, the night following the
death of President Mckinley. Vice
President Roosevelt was on the
heights of Mount Marcy when dis
once.
Cronin broke a record on the rough
country road and killed pair of
horses in getting Mr.. Roosevelt to
North Creek where a special train
awaited him.
Its just bully of you to come"
said Mr.. Roosevelt. shaking Cronin
warmly by the hand as the guide step
ped forward to meet him at the rail-
road station. II am delighted to see
you. It's really good to see you again.
I want you to come and see me when
get back to America again."

GARFIELD MAY

Ohio Politics Being Shaped by
National Events Centering
in State

Columbus, Ohio, March 23-The ef-
forts of friends of former Secretary
James r. Garfield to start a guberna-
torial boom for him in the rural press
during the past week, coupled with
the various constructions put upon
assertions Of Arthur I. Vorys that he
Is not seeking appointments have
opened wide the flcodgates of ante
nomination why's and wherefores.
1T is almost as though the state
convention Of next year is already in
session." remarked southeastern
Ohio politician.
Arrangements had been made for
half dozen of the party organs in
various sections of the state to blaze
the trail for the proposed Garfield
boom. but in the hurry to spread the
word before the arrival Of Mr.. Gar
field next week some mistakes oc-
Cured. AS consequence only one
paper carried the story. Stress was
laid upon the long years of service
rendered the party in Ohio by the
father of the proposed candidate, the
late President James A. Garfield. The
younger Garfield was praised for his
work in the Roosevelt cabinet and
still greater accomplishments were
predicted for him.
The latest information is that the
papers which failed to come out for
Garfield for governor this week will
render better accounting next week.

In the meantime Vorys returned
last night from Washington where
several notable cOnferencea were hold

PAYNE BILL HAS
COFFEE JOKER
Innocent Clause Proves to be
Loaded With a Big Scheme
Of Valorivation

New York, March 23.-Mill.ons q,
bags OF Brazilian coffee are being
held in this country, principally in
New York, where 1t is estimated A.
100000 bags of this product are now
in storage. ready to be dumped on the
market should the proposed Payne
tariff bill become effective.
This coffee is only part of other
millions OF bags that are being held
as security by financiers for loans
made to the Brazilian government on
what is known to the trade as the
"valorization scheme"
Clause Not Clear.
There is one Joker" found in tho
new tariff bill, which says coffee is to
be admitted free except where It
comes from q country that imposes
an export tax.
The San Carlos district of Brazil.
the big coffee growing district, has a
20 per cent export duty on coffee.
AS there are more than 100000
bags OF the coffee now in the country
no import duty would have to be paid
here on that amount.
Another "joker" in the bill Is that
some of the millions of bags held by
the same syndicate in Europe could
be sent in free without the payment
Of any import duty, as these bag
would come direct from a country
which charged no export duty on
coffee.
Growers Protected.
For several years the coffee grow.
ers OF Brazil had larger crops than
the rest of the world could take up
at price that was as profitable as the
growers desired. Prices, owing to
the supply being greater than the de-
mand. began to fall and q number Of
the leading growers conceived
scheme to have the Brazilian govern
ment buy all the surplus coffee at q
price approximately two cents per
pound above the market price.
This scheme Is what has since be.
come known as the 'valorization plan.'
and was meant to insure the growers
against decline in prices. After q
time the Brazilian government con.
sented to the plan.
Gave Crop to Insure Loans.
OF course the government had to
borrow money to finance such a huge
Undertaking and 1t was stated that
the Rothchilds would take the loans.
This, however. failed to materialize,
but the government did arrange to
borrow from financial syndicates in
this country Germany and other
European sources.
The Brazilian governments yearly
purchases of coffee were given in Sc
surity for payment OF these loans.
which during the past four or five
years. have amounted to somewhere
in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.
COffee Losing Quality
Millions Of bags have accumulated
in the hands OF these syndicates, and
are now in storage at various points.
AS many thousands of these are get
ting old, they are beginning to de-
teriorate in quality. as is natural at
ter it reaches certain age.
Naturally the syndicate holding this
coffee is desirous of getting rid of it.
If duty is put on under new tariff
bill. this coffee can be sold at a profit
minus the duty.

Champion Skater. Here.

The return of Eisenhand and Burke
from Denver on Thursday evening,
bringing with them the championship
of the six day roller skating contest,
was met with most cordial welcome
by large crowd of citizens who
assembled at the depot Notwithstanding
the heavy snow storm that was prevail
ing. The old members of the band got
together, cleaned the cobwebs out of
their horns and rendered music that
showed them proficient in their art as
they filled the air with choicest har-
mony and melody. The two young
men must have felt extremely happy
over the reception thus given them.
They had earned their championship in
a commendable manner and one that

600 100000 100000 coo
Break World. Record.

The successful termination of the SIX
day roller skating race at Denver was
most satisfactory to the people of this
city, and will have the effect Of bring
ing into prominence throughout the
athletic world the name of Idaho Springs
and thus attract attention. From the
fact that the world record was broken
much interests added. Henry Eisen-
hand and VIM. Burke proved sur
prise to the skating world, exceeding
the worlds record by over six miles
within the same length of time. I'm
der the management and training of
E. j. Gerarden, the boys were kept
in the pink of condition, and at the end
of the long grind were in condition to
continue the race for double the time
and make an equal amount of distance.
One of the features of the race was
the staying quality of young Eisenhand,
who gained several pounds in flesh and
was stronger at the finish than at the
commencement. At no time was he in
distress, and had no difficulty in dis
in distress. When the fact is taken
into consideration that the winner has
been skating less than year, the
performance is most remarkable.
One of the stimulating features of
the finish of the race was the presence
at the ring side of as lively bunch of
boosters from this city as evsr attend
ed similar event. which cheered the
skaters as nothing else would. Adorned
with badges and carrying banner that
was the center of attraction, and back
ed by cries and howles that meant
encouragement, the Idaho Springs
Springs boosters practically howled
their heads off for the local sprinters,
and their enthusiasm was seconded by
IA good majority of the four thousand
crowd that was present at the rink,
After ten O'Clock there was practically
nothing to it but Idaho Springs at the
Mammouth rink. The score at the
finish showed that the team of Eisen-
hand and Burke had skated a distance
of 1919 miles and laps during the six
days,
