On Lubmer FOrecasted As
One of Changes in New
Tariff Bill.

Washington, March S-A cut of one
half in the duties on lumber and man
ufactures Of lumber is understood 10
be one of the changes provided by the
new tariff bill. which is being printed
preparatory to Is final revision by the
Republican members of the house
ways and means committee. Another
change, according to information from
reliable sources, Is that hides have
been placed on the free list There
has been much contention over the
duties Of these two articles.
During the hearings OF the lumber
schedule the testimony was such as to
cause the impression that lumber
would be put on the free list 1t was
said that the forests of the country
could only be conserved by admitting
foreign lumber free of duty 1t Is un-
derstood that Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester, is preparing figures In fur

can industry may compete with the
cheaper labor employed in Canada,
and because OF the better facilities for
transportation afforded by the proX-
unity of the Canadian lumber camps
to waterways.
The efforts to obtain hides free is
being made principally by the New
England shoe and leather manufac-
turers and is strongly opposed by the
cattlemen of the west. The farmers
have agreed to a material reduction, 1t

An impression prevails that the plan
Is to have the hide and leather sche-
dule fixed in congress after the ques-
tions have been thoroughly threshed
out on the floor of the house. in the
senate finance COMMITTEE and on the
floor Of the senate.
Champ Clark, the house minority
leader, passed considerable time today
with Representative Underwood In
laying out the plan to be followed by
the minority in its fight in the house.

policy will be to criticise the Republi.

FARMER BURNS COULD NOT
THROW YOUNG Y0KEL

Ladies and gentlemen, | wish to
state that Mike Yokel is the best lit
tie man l have met In my forty years
OF experience in wrestling, and / have
TO admit that / cannot throw him. .
said Farmer" Burns to the largest
crowd that has ever packed the Salt
Lake theater for any athletic event,
after his match with Yokel Monday
night.
Burns was to throw Yokel twice In
one hours actual wrestling time, but
the mlddleweight champion even fail
cd to secure an effective hold on the
popular Y. NJ G. A. man In the first
time In Burns life he had found him
self up against SO tough a proposition.
In physical culture speech the
Farmer" made before the contest, he
interested the audience with illustra
tions In wrestling and told the people
he knew Of 500 different holds he
could put on a man. He took great
pride In displaying his muscular neck
and chest development and told the
people that his fine form was the re-
suit OF the quiet, simple life he has
led He said that he never chewed,
smoked, drank nor swore. The people
were worked up to high degree OF
admiration for the man and when Yo-
kel appeared. many drew long breath
Of pity for the local boy. This Was not
necessary. Yokel went on the mat
purely On the defensive, and when It
Is considered that he completely out
wltted the champion at his own game.
too much credit cannot be given the
wonderful little wrestler.
Burns resorted to all kinds of tao
tics In trying to throw his man and
upon several occasions tried hard to
hurt Yokel, but the latter stuck like
glue. At the end Of forty minutes OF
wrestling. Yokel looked up In the face
OF Burns, who was on top during the
In with all his might but the harder
he tried, the cooler Yokel took things.
1t must have been hard pill for the
champion to swallow.
Burns tried hard to work toe hold,
but just at the time he was to cinch
It Yokel kicked loose. Burns tried sew
eral double. Nelson's, but never got
close. Burns tried hard on a hammer
lock and worked for nearly five min
utes, but Yokel freed himself and
never allowed Burns to get close again.
Burns showed oil he had, while Mike
did not give away any OF his tricks.
but there were great many people
in the audience who believe that II
Yokel let out a few kinks" Burns
would have been more surprised than
he was. Just once during the match.
Burns was trying to secure bad hold
on Yokel when the latter Strengthened
out and Burns Topped around to one
side as If hit with a hammer. Yokel
was there with the strength, backed
up with the best Judgment he had ever
found In any man during his many
trips around the country.
After the match. Burns said that it
was his honest opinion that Yokel
could throw any welterweight wrestler
In the world.

P PROb[EM OF
PROVIDING
T FUNDS.
Considered at White House
in Two Hour Conference
With Taft.

Washington, March S.-The problem
of providing funds with which to carry
on the projects under way. to main
tain the plans of the Taft administra-
ton, and to make the demands Sc
cure with a new tariff schedule. is
the work with which President Taft,
Senator Allison, Speaker Cannon and
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
were engaged in at two-hours con-
ference today. at the White House.
The necessity for the enactment of
a tariff bill at the earliest possible
moment wis discussed, but whether or
not definite policy was outlined,
could not be stated. That the manu-
facturers and other large interests
are determined early. tariff legislation
and that Legislation will be unsettled
until the tariff schedules are finally
fixed, with the principal reasons for
the desire to permit nothing to inter
fere with prompt action at the special
session of congress.
The possible delay. while the house
Insurgents" may be fighting the rules
and the further difficulties that may
be put In the way Of getting the tarin
bill through without delay, were thor
oughly gone into. The conferees
agreed that every Republican in the
house and senate is pledged by tho
party platform to let nothing interfere
with an immediate revision.
Mr.. Taft has made a consistent fight
for a genuine revision OF tho tariff.
and has let It be known that ho would

Gen. Meeks EIoquentIy
Defends His Friend,
Col. Cooper

Nashville, March "a record-break
ing crowd was present today when
General Meeks began the opening ar
gument for the defense In tho Coop
er-Sharpe murder trial. General Meeks
has been ill and at the outset of his
remarks, he WAS scarcely able to stand
and spoke almost inaudibly.
AS he warmed up. he said:
The state has appealed to you to
enforce the law. And the states Idea
Of enforcing the law seems TO be to
convict someone. innocent or guilty.
L want to say to you, gentlemen. that
never In my life and In broad prac-
tice, have I seen witnesses so shame
fully treated, as was Col Cooper by
Captain FitZhugh. The prosecutor
seemed careless as to whether he
acquitted or convicted Col. Cooper of
the murder of Senator Carmack, but
he did seem determined to besmirch
the witness character. He accused
him of not paying his debts What
has that to do with the killing OF
Carmack? They tried to make you
believe that he embezzled funds as
clerk and master in chancery. What
has that to do with the killing OF Car
mack? The whole scheme Of tho state
was not to convict Col. Cooper Of mur-
der, but to disgrace him publicly on
his record"
General Meeks denounced the or
fort OF the state to involve the liberty
of the press. but declared that where
the liberty OF the press was abused by
a man who used 1t to defame pri-
vate citizen, it degenerated into Ii,
cense.
Counsel next read the three editor.
ials introduced by the defense, phrase
by phrase, and asked the jurors II
they could imagine anything more in
sulting or degrading than these edl-
torials and continued;
The state will say, go into the
courts. Yes. and get a judgment for
$4,000 against a man not worth q
plug OF tobacco. 1t is perfectly reas-
enable to believe that Col. Cooper was
angry, that he used violent language,
And they tell you he is not an ex.

that he is not a type OF the old south
ern gentleman. / say he Is. / say he
Is one of the grandest and bravest

General Meeks then turned his at.
tention to Robin Cooper and recited
the efforts Robin made to prevent trou-
BILE, declaring that "he touched every
button possible"
