DUTY ON HIDES IS TO BE
RETAINED IN PAYNE BILL
Next Saturday Will Probably BE
Chosen For Vote On Passage
Of Tariff BILL

WASHINGTON, April Sit was de.
cided definitely today by the house
leaders that rule is to be provided
Monday providing for record vote
on lumber and hides, and setting n
day for a final vote on the Payne bill
as a whole. The indications seem to
be that next Saturday will lie the day
chosen for the vote on the passage OF
the bill.
The West Virginia delegation is up
in arms over the provision for the ex-
change OF free coal with Canada. To
appease them the leaders offered n
separate vote on coal, but the offer
was declined. II is calculated that
the declination was due to apprehen-
sion on the part OF West Virginians
that the result would be unfavorable
to them. They will, however, make
strenuous protest TO the end, with "A
view to strengthening their senators
in the fight the latter are making for
coal tariff in the senate.
There seems to be a fair prospect
that the hard fight put up by the ad-
vocates of the tariff on hides will be
successful and that some duty. even
IL not the Is per cent rate OF the
Dingley bill will be in the new tariff

MOTHER HESITATES OVER
SENDING SON TO JAIL
BEST Place." She Says, But ReIents
az Court Passes Sentence.


II was a pretty hard ordeal for the
mother OF George De Forrest. a IL
year-old boy, when her threats OF
workhouse sentence for her son were
really put into execution by Justice
Jeffries. Saturday morning.
George has given his mother much
trouble, she told the Judge, and when
he was arrested by Precinct Detective
Kean, of Grand River station, on the
charge of stealing bushel OF wheat
from David Stotts -four mill, Mrs. De
Forrest told Detective kean that the
only thing to be done was TO send
George to the workhouse for short
term.
She was in the court room when
Justice Jeffries prepared to dispose of
Georges case.
so you want this boy sent to the
house of correction" the judge ask
ed. while George, surly-looking youth
with the pout of spoiled child, start
ed to whimper softly.
The mother hesitated: glanced at
the boy. then at the judge, then at the
detective.
Perhaps we had better give him
another chance" she said, in despera-
ton.
George took heart wonderfully, and
when his mother. in answer to ques-
ton about his age, his conduct and
such matters, talked to the judge with
suggestion of tears in her voice,
George promptly contradicted every
thing that she said, in a decidedly ugly
manner.
That decided IT, Justice Jeffries re-
marked, quietly, George, think that
the workhouse is what you need
Mrs. De Forrest started TO cry.
George fairly howled his grief
Must he go?" asked the mother,
forgetting everything but the fact that
her boy was going to be sent up.
We'll, I'll leave 1t to you." said the
Judge. I'll fix a fine of SIS against
sentence of 10 days. You can decide
for yourself don't hardly know
what that boy needs. I don't know
whether workhouse term will dc
him good. or do him harm. It's UP 10
you, madam. Ten days, or SIS"
