LUMBER DUTY
IN NEW TARIFF
Figure Placed in First Draft of
Bill Likely to be Increased

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Chair-
man Payne. of the ways and means
committee, is personally revising the
preliminary draft of the tariff bill,
which will go to the government
printing Office this week.
The present plan is to have this
first print of the bin made without
the rates of duty Appearing in it. On
the night before the bill is introduced
the rates will be inserted.
At the final meeting of the commit
tee at which the bill will be passed
on by the republican members, every
item will be reviewed.
The proposition to place a duty on
coffee is understood to be matter
concerning which there is much diff
ference of opinion in the committee.
During its deliberations the commit
tee placed a duty on coffee, took it
of again and as the bill stands now,
a tax of cents per pound is pro-
vided for.
1t is understood the duty on lum-
Der, while at present fixed at 81, is
likely to be increased. This is due to
the campaign which the lumbermen
have been making. the result of
which has been to give the committee
a vast fund of information on which
to determine an equitable tax.
1t is said for the Payne tariff bill
that it will be correct theoretically,
yet, while it will afford the best bas-
is from which to evolve the new tar
III law, it is expected that many
changes Will be made before 1t is en-
acted, The revision throughout is
downward, the revenue and protec-
ton features governing the fixing of
all schedules.
Representative Fordney, of Michi-
gan has stood out for the highest
protection, while Representative
Crumpacker, of Indiana has favored
the lowest duties. Representative
Gaines of West Virginia and Bonynge
of Colorado have advocated high pro-
lection, while the chairman. Repre-
sentative Payne. and Representatives
Boutell of Illinois and Longworth OF
Ohio, have urged lower duties.
The other members. Representa-
tiyes Hill of Connecticut, Needham
of California. Dalzell of Pennsylvan-
la and Calderhead of Kansas. have
favored protection for the interests
of their constituents, but have gen.
orally been open to compromise.
1t was learhed authoritatiyely to-
day that the new tariff bill which
will be submitted to the house at the
special session by the ways and
means committee will contain these
recommendations: Lead and copper,
no change: sugar, no change; iron
ore, placed on free list; rails and bill
lets. substantially reduced; pig iron,
25 per cent reduction; textiles. grad
uated tariff on high-grade cotton and
silk goods, an increased tax; on med
ium grade. no change; on low grade.
a reduced tariff.

East Chicago Ind, April 17.-Eld-
ridge Gaugh, the two-year- old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gaugh Of One Hun
dred and Forty-ffth street and Barring
avenue, is suffering today from the bite
of his fathers dog. Bob, which had been
his playmate since Eldredge was old
enough to sit on the foo rand grab
handfuls of his hair, in his baby fist.
The incident occurred Thursday even
ing and at 10 o'clock that night. Of
ficer John Thompson was called in to
to shoot the heretofore faithful animal
Mr.. Gaugh had been hunting all day
with Bob, who was a pointer with a
pedigree and one of the best hunting
dogs in Lake county. His master not
long ago had been offered $3.50 for the
animal, but he was so attached to Bob
that he declined to part with his pet at
any price
After his long. hard day, Bob was
curled up asleep on the Kitchen floor
The baby spied him and made sudden
dash for him as he had been accustom-
ed to doing, to Bobs apparent delight
The dog, startled by being thus sud
denly awakened. turned and snapped al
the little chap. biting him in the cheek
Mr. Gaugh's faith in Bob's infanibil
ity was shaken and he decided to hav,

NIGHT SCHOOL CLOSES
Gary Institution Ends First
Year the Latter Part
Of April.

The night school which was estab-
Iished last January in the basement of
the Kahan building, on Seventh avenue
near Broadway, will be closed the latter
part Of April and will not be opened
again until October, that being the
usual time for the opening and closing
of the night schools. The public night
school at Gary was the first which has
beenestablished in Lake county, and
has proved a great success.
The purpose of the school was to as
sist those who were not in position
to attend school in the day time, and
for foreigners and others to study the
English language and other primary
studies. In 8 short time after the
school was started there was an en-
rollment of thirty students. This was
increased as fast as they could be cared
for.
Next October. when the night schoo
is again opened for the public, the IA
cilities will be better than ever before
While the work was more Of an ex
pertinent this year, next year this
branch of the school will be broadened
as it has been found to be very sue
cessful and there are a surprising mum
Der of persons anxious to take advant

Mr. Schrage jumped to his feet. He
stated that Koenig had come to his
residence and asked him to be sure
and come over TO the meeting. He
said Koenig told him Reynolds and
Long were against him and were hint
ing that they wanted some money.
Schrage said that Koenig observed
that he would be foolish to pay Rey-
nolds any money when he did not have
a vote. Koenig knew that Schrage did
have a vote and the next suggestion
was that he expected to make $500
out of the deal, and as he had repu-
tation as a landscape gardener to make,
he would be satisfied if he got the job
and could make $500 clear
Schrage told the members of the
council that he could construe such
conversation Nm no other way than that
he was asked to vote for the measure
and receive $1,000 for his vote.
Mr. Schrage said that he imme
diateIy became indignant. He told
Koenig that was the first time he had
been approached in seventeen years.
| Koenig, is then reported by Schrage,
to have said that he was sorry he had
made the mistake of approaching him.
Mayor Smith, of Whiting, made a
statement to THE TINES this morning
in which he stated that in his belief
the whole unfortunate affair was the
result of misunderstanding. Mayor
Smith believes that Koenig meant that
he would rather put the $1,000 into
other improvements in the park. which
would make the job oreditable one
than to take $1,000 extra profit
In this manner the Job would be a
credit to him as a landscape gardener
and he could point to it when he
sought other work. In fact. Mayor
Smith, said that he told NIdermenAC. A
Halwig and Frank Long the same
!. thing when they were together and
they took it to mean that he would
rather accept a profit Of. only $500 and
: have the job a credit to himself thar
to take a larger amount and b
!. ashamed of 1t
During the evenings those who voted
with Koenig were Aldermen Halwig
: Water and Kozsick. Those against hin
were Long and Schrage. and Sholb dis
not vote for the reason that he ha
been sick and said he did not under
stand the; situation.
1t is not known what will be- don
: about the matter at the coming 'ses
| sion Of the council next Monday.

GARYS FIRST
GAME SUNDAY
Lineup of Semi Pros in
Their Game With
Valparaiso.

The lineup for the Gary team for
their first game of the season has been
announced by Manager Miner. The
players who will attempt to uphold the

ers. Clemoski. Knapp and Hill; first
base, Peltier; second base, Erickson;
third base. Jackson; short-stop. Gran
nan; center field. Grimes; left-field,
Grimes; right-feld, A. Curran.
This team will be by far the best

The infield is as fast as a fash of
lightning and the outfeld will be able
to hold their own in addition to their
batting ability, which is thought to be
amove the ordinary The only trouble
the team viii encounter at the outset
will be lack of practice and team work
This will be overcome as the season
advances. In a short try-out yesterday
afternoon, all of the players came VI
to execpectations.
OF the pitching staff, Clemoski Of the
Tolleston team, is Of known ability
having pitched a successful season las
year behind inferior support. Hit

team last year, and finished up tn
season with the Gary transforming
team that travelled through Illinois
Wisconsin and Iowa last year.
