Mr. Duncan has no deep-seated
love for District Attorney Harry

candidate for the judgeship, is not TO
be overlooked In this contest for the
position held by Harry Skinner How

towards Hicks, whom he endorsed for

appeal to Gov. Patterson for military

Attorney General John B. Bowman,

that he send a company of state
troops to the scene at once. The
governor has the matter under ad-
visement and is expected to take
some definite action. The officials
are pressing in their request. Ex-
treme violence is feared and prob
ably an attempt to liberate certain

try free of duty of lace machinery
prior to May /, 1910. Hides, hosi-
cry and gloves were left as reported
by the committee, hides remaining
free an increase duty being present
ed for gloves and stockings.
At the afternoon session, by viva
voice, the engrossment and third
reading of the bill was ordered by
the House. whereupon Mr.. Lindbergh
(Minnesota) sought recognition to
move to recommit with instructions.
The Speaker refused, saying that in
carrying out the new rule, known as
the Fitzgerald amendment, common
fairness requires that he should re-
cognize Mr.. Clark (Missouri), the
minority leader, the bills chief OPP
ponent.
Mr.. Clark thereuron made a mo-
ton to recommit with instructions,
which were read. Mr.. Clark's mo-
ton directed the Ways and Means
Committee to make the original
minimum rates of the bill apply as
maximum rates and to provide a
schedule of rates lower than those
to be applied as the minimum rates.
It also provided that the discrimina-
ton duty clause levying an increase
of 10 per cent on goods imported in
American vessels. It instructed the
committee to provide for a gradual
ed income tax, and to add a procla-
nation, IL he is satisfied that the
value of that article has been en-
HANGED in consequence of any mono
ply or trust. The motion also direct
ed the amendment of the measure
"by reducing the duties carried by
the bill to revenue rates so
as to raise the maximum of
revenue with minimu moi burden Of
taxation upon the masses of the
American people, so adjusting the
rates of duty so as to deal fairly
with producer and consumer, with
due regard to the need of the 60
vernment."
1t is specifically provided that
leather. boots, shoes and all pro-
ducts of leather, cotton bagging, cot
ton ties, agricultural implements
and cocoa should be placed on the
free list 1t also stipulated that the
increase in the duties on gloves and
hosiery should be taken off.
1t provide the granting of American
registry to vessels built in foreign
countries when purchased by Ameri-
can citizens for the ocean carrying
trade. providing that they shall be
