CONGRESS
senate snlnmarx.

Washington, June 22.--Late today 1 the Senate reached the voting stage on the hides schedule, and after sev- eral amendments had been defeated | the amendment of the Finance Com- mittee fixing . duty of 16 per cent. ad vaiorem on hides was agreed to. 46 to 30. This is the rate of the pres
 ent law but under the rulings of the Treasury Department is applicable only to hides weighing more than twenty.
 five pounds. The House placed all hides on the free list. but the com
 mittee restored the Dingley policy by adding them to the non-dutiable list. The Senate sustained its committee.
 Senator McLaurin undertook to have the provision amended so as to make the duty applicable to hides weighing less than twenty-five pounds, but fail- ed his amendment being voted down 31 to 4S. An amendment by Mir. stone placing not only hides but many of their products on the free list was also lost.
 Just before adjournment at o'clock Senator Aldrtch on behalf of the Ft- nance Committee presented the com mittee,s new lumber schedule and also a number of amendments relating to linoleum and oil cloth. The commit tee proposed rate of 4l.6o per thcus- and on sawed lumber. which Is a 50
 
 Neither the lumber nor linoleum sched- ules were acted upon.
 Previous to the balloting more than six hours was devoted to speech mak- ing, beginning at 10 o'clock with an argument by Mir. McCumber for duty on hides fin which he was sustained by Messrs. Gamble and Hepburn. They took the position that the effort to
 make hides free was solely in the in-
 terest of the manufacturers and MT.
 McCumber contended that this was a
 monstrous injustice, growing out of
 the protective system. MT. Burton and incidentally Mir. Payne supported the free hide policy, the former fin speech of some length. He declared that the beef trust obtained all the benefit to be derived from hide duty. One of the features of the day was
 a speech by Senator Bob Taylor of | Tennessee which argument alive and
 humorous and attracAnd much | favorable attention and es- | ta blished good nature, where either on account of the hot weather or the te- diousness of the subject the Senate | had before seemed inclined to be slight | ly irritable.

Former Vice President Livingston of The Trust Company of The Re- pubaic, on Tie stand in New
 York Case

Saratoga. N. T., June 22-James Duane Livingston . former vice presi- dent of the Trust Co.,. of the Republic in charge of its William Street branch in New York City. continued his testt-
 nony before Supreme Court Justice Van Kirk today, in the case of Charles H. kavanaugh of Waterford. against former directors of the company, to compel the restoration of funds amounting to about si,500.00 alleged to have been lost through financing the United States shipbuilding Company.
 Mir. Livingston was asked to identify certain of the trust company's books. checks and other documents relative to transactions between the Trust Co. of the Republic and representatives of the ship building company.
 Mir. Livingston told of loans of 370o and $6,oo0 made by the trust company to John w. Young. one of the promoters of the, United States Shipbuilding O., by direction of Daniel Leroy Dresser. president of the trust company. Mir. Young gfvng as collateral bonds and stocks of the shipbuilding company.
 A subsequent loan of 32.500 was cabled to MT. Young in Paris on similar collateral Mr. Livingston also identi- fled note and draft relative to a e5o.- 900 loan made to Charles A. Reiss. a business associate of MT. Dresser. Later he said MT. Reiss stepped out of the transaction at the request of Mir. Dresser and a demand note of A H. Engel was submitted with shipbuilding bonds and stocks as security. The witness testified that these loans were subsequently, transferred to invest ments, and the plaintiff will lendeavor to show later that they were charged off to profit and loss as losses.
 MT. Lvingston's testimony was inter- rupted to permit John D. Morarity. private secretary to Superintendent Clark Williams. of the state banking department. to produce reports of the trust, company of the republic and other documents relating to 1t. Later Mir. Livingston was recalled and testified as to other loans made by the trust company with shipbuilding securities as collateral.

New York, June 22.-While counsel for Katherine Clemens Gould brought up a reinforcement of witnesses in one part of the Supreme Court today. to combat the charges of intoxication and misconduct made by the defense in her suit for separation with alimony from her husmand, Howard Gould. the plaintiff won a victory in another part of the court by a decision. of Justice Geigerich.
