FREE LUMBER
ON THE TOBOGGAN
DELIVER SURPRISES THE REAc
Z. TIoNARlEs BY STANDING FOR
PROTECTION.

WASHINGTON. May 25.-NO single
piece of lumber was ever used more
effectively as a see-saw Dy children
than was the great lumber industry
yesterday by the United States Sen,
ate. The lumber schedule nl the tariff
bill was under consideration almost
the entire day, with Senators Root,
Hepburn, BOrah and Dollivor contend.
ing for a protective tariff fer the in
dustry and Senator's Clapp. Burkett
and McCumber arguing as strenuously
against that policy. The LAY closed
with more than a two.rhlris vote
against Senator McCumber's free lum
Der amendment the ballot showing rs
for and Sc against.
The surprise Of the day was the at.
tltude of Senator Dolliver, who here
tofore has stood with the "progres.
sives" throughout the present. tariff
fight. He yesterday took positive po-
sition against the radical demand for
free lumber, but expressed the opinion
that the industry woull not suffer
from a reduction of the Dingley tariff.
Lively Arguments.
Senator Root opened tae days pro-
ceedings with a close argument in ia.
vor Of a dlFerential on dressed lum-
Der. Senators Borah and Hepburn,
of Idaho, cOntended for the highest
duty on lumber and Mr.. Bofah enter
ed upon an argument to show that the
policy Of protection is a system and
cannot be maintained II there are to
be constant exceptions 20 l. as is de.
sired in the interest OF free lumber.
Senators Clapp and Burkett argued
that lumber can be produced as cheap
ly in Canada as in the United States,
and conteded that tn elumber industry
of the country would not be endan.
gered by the free admission of the
Canadian product.
Hepburn is Criticized.
During the debate senatlr Hepburn
spoke of the Republican platform o.
the last campaign in a way that
briught down some criticism nm bis
head, and Senator Bailey declared that
he did not propose to be bound by the
platfirm adopted by the Democrats at
Denver.
Early in the day Senator Owen
made a sharp attack upon The present
tariff on sugar. saying that it led to
frauds by a trust" and still earlier
Senator Aldrich introduced a resolu.
ton providing for a investigation of
the expenditures of the various execu.
tive departments.

POTTER KIND
YET VERY FIRM
REFUSED TO DISMISS NEW MEN
BUT MAKES NICE OFFER
TO OLD MEN.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 25.-yice
President Potter yesterday afternoon
met the Committee of Mechanics from
various points on the Baltimore and
Ohio system outside of Baltimore, who
had asked a conference with MIN. The
committee asked that those men who
had been employed at the Mount Clare
shops since the trouble began two
weeks ago be dishissed snd the men
who left the service then be relnstal-
ed. MIR. Potter explained fully Why
this could not be complied with as the
new men had been employed in good
faith to take the places made vacant
by the old men themselves and hat
been promised permanent positions.
Mr.. Potter, however. made them a
counter proposition that no more new
men would be aired and the old men
would be taken back into the service
as opportunity offered, due to me-
being dismissed or leaving the service
OF as it may be necessary to increase
the force and that without the old men
sacrificing their service records.
Some Of them had been in the SER
vice many years and of them n num-
bor who will soon be eligible for pen
sion. Mr.. Potter was willing to per.
nit the men taken back to retain tleir
service records so that they would
not lose these benefits.

SMASHING a Tradition.

St Louis star: For Iz5 years the
unwritten lagw-save as written in the
newspapers and Observation-Disclosures
that a president OF the United States
could not go beyond the borders Of
his country. This tradition has been
smashed and no one is the worse for
it. Theodore Roosevelt brke it when
he went to Panama, yet those who
felt 1t their duty to maintain the ira
dition wrote learnedly that as long as
Roosevelt was on an American war
ship he was not out or the country,
though everybody knows that three
miles is the limit Of national turis-
oictiton at sea- The same theorists
maintained that although Roosevelt
landed at Panama and crossed the
isthmus he still was on United States
territory because we have a lease Of
the canal zone. Now that Mr.. Taft
actually has gone over the Rio
Grande and stepped on Mexican soil,
perhaps uhe absurd and broken tradi-
ton will arise no more.

A number Of the more advanced pu-

Eighth street south last wednesday
evening and organized a club which
will have for its object the study OF
larger forms OF musical composition
such as operas, oratorios. symphonies.
ETC., In addition to developing and
fostering a wholesome social element
among the students. An encouraging
number of students were present at
and the social part. The club will
meet once in two weeks and the mem
bers anticipate a profitable and en-
joyable season.
The second regular ten-week term
OF the school year will begin next week.
New classes will then be organized for
the students that have been enrolled
recently, and others who will enter
during the week.
FOR some time past musical people
or Casselton have been negotiating
with Mr. Bohlin to have him go to
Casselton one day each week and teach
class in vocal music. Satisfactory
arrangement have been made and
Mr. Bohlin will go out there on next
thursday and begin his work. II is
Understood that large number have
expressed desire to study voice cul-
lure and in addition to private instruc-
tlon class in sight singing and gen.

Mr.. Bohlin will have his studio at the
home OF Mrs. McLester who has had
room fitted out specially for that
purpose. 1t is probable that Miss OIL
son will go with Mr.. Bohlin and give
instruction in piano as there are a

She created the title role In Richard
Strauss opera, Electra, in Its first pro-
duction In Dresden, and has also given
series OF song recitals in the large
European cities. Her farewell con-
cert in London last April is an event
that will long be remembered by the
audience which filed every seat in the
big Covent Garden. Innumerable times
the artist, who was greatly moved by
the ovation, appeared upon the stage
amid deafening applause; the men raw
ed, the women waved their handkcr-
chiefs, tore the flowers from their
breasts and threw them to the great
artist, who bent to receive them, also
to reach over the footlights to give
hundreds of handshakes.

Bishops Refuse Funds.

New York Evening Post: In our
Ignorance. we do not know what a
"whist-drive" is, but we note with in
terest that English bishops are pro-
nouncing against it as a means of
raising money for church purposes.
we infer that 1t is form Of gambling.
Its condemnation marks a certain adj
vance since advertisements were pub
lished beseeching English society peo-
pie to set aside one-quarter Of their
winnings at bridge for holy objects
The whist-drive, however, must be
more offensive, for the Archbishop OF
York rather deprecates the practice
OF putting churches In funds by means
OF II. Other eeclesiastics are reported
as intensely disliking" It, or "declin-
ing to accept money raised by this
means" The Bishop of St. Adams
could not use the proceeds of whist
drives for any kind OF spiritual work {"
This would seem to limit the appIica-
ton of sums won at cards to the purely
nen-spiritual work of the churches.

Blanche Bates.

A packed house saw Blanche Bates
and her splendid company last night at
walkers in The Fighting Hope. MiMss
Bates was magnificent in the leading
part. Her strongest work was in the
last act in which her denunciation of
her worthless husband was a superb
bit of acting. She thrilled the audi
ence with her dramatic power and the
tense attitude OF the audience was an
unconscious tribute to her ability.
The supporting company delighted.
Milton Stills as Burton Temple not only
looked the part but was capable. John
w. Cope, as Craven, the attorney, fur
nished the comedy and was fully
equal to the heavier parts for which
he was cast. Loretta Wells was a
most satisfactory housekeeper despite
her Puritanism. Wedgewood NOVEL;
had the unpleasant part of Robert
Granger, the thief. He was seen for
only a short time and that in the last
act. The gallery rejoiced when he was
shot.
