ENGAGEMENT Of

PASADENA, August Miss May
Sutton, worlds champion woman ten

had broken her engagement to Harry
b. Ham, son of George ! Ham, a
wealthy banker of the City Of Mexico
I'VE will call it all joke the lit
tie tennis queen said.
After ! defend my title in South
ern California next Saturday l am
going East to play the game of my
life, forgetting about such things as
engagements and marriage.
81 am just girl. Why, / won't be
'skiddoo' for a few months yet, and |
don't think it's fashionable for a girl
to marry before she is twenty-five"
She added with a laugh:
Say that it is all off and that am
glad that l am still foot-lCose and

The announcement of the engage
ment was made early in July.

raw materials, on the free list West
erners who made the hardest fight
against free hides. in private conversa-
ton, admit that the removal of the
10 per cent duty will not drive any
one out of the cattle business, though
if may have a tendency to reduce pro-
fits. But they are afraid that in the
near future a move will be made to
transfer wool to the free list, and that,
they maintain, would be disastrous.
Wool, they maintain, can not contend
with foreign wool without competition
The placing of hides on the free list
was purely a concession to the manu-
facturers of New England. 1t was
New England that induced the Presi-
dent to take his stand for free hides.
New England would also welcome free
wool. Having gained what it asked or
hides. the next step is to demand
free wool, and much the same argu-
ments that applied to hides could be
applied to wool, and by the same men
who appealed to the president. II
was New England influence that car
ried the day, and New England is still
in good standing with the President
It will be more difficult to get free
wool than it was to get free hides
The President acknowledged that, More
states are interested in sheep-raising
than in cattle-raising-tha is. on a
large scale, and the west, in Opposing
free wool, would have the support even
of Ohio, the Presidents own state. In,
deed, it is charged by some of the
western senators that but for the fact
that Ohio wool-growers had appealed
to the President, he might have cou-
pied wool with hides, in demanding
| transfers TO the free list

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, ID. c. July 30
There is just one reason why the Sen,
ators from the Pacific Northwest con-
sented to a reduction of the duty on
rough lumber to the Taft rate of 81 .25.
They feared that a fight in the confer
ence which might defeat the bill would
result in a revival of the tariff ques-
ton at the regular session next viii
ter or at another special session 10
be called in the fall, and in that event
there would be grave danger of getting
an even lower rate-$1 or even less.
Rather than take a chance at a second
tariff session, they accepted the inevi-
table, and allowed the responsibility
to rest upon the shoulders of the Presi-
dent.
Advocates of high tariff on lumber
have been handicapped from the start
because of the strong sentiment in the
House of Representatives in favor OF
free lumber. A change of less than a
dozen votes would have put lumber on
the free list when the Payne bill was
passed originally by the House, and
more than the decisive number OF votes
were cast by members who had no in
terest in the lumber industry-mem-
bers who had voted against free lum-
Der under combinations which gave
them additional votes on schedules in
which they were directly concern
ed, 1t was well known that if the
House, at another session, was given
an opportunity to vote for free lumber
there was strong probability that this
commodity would go on the free list;
the old combination probably could
not be renewal.
SO far as the Senate was concerned
there was never any danger of put
ting lumber on the free list. A sart
majority of that body was opposed u
free lumber, and would continue tC
oppose it. Yet the Senate was unwill
ing to retain the old Dingley rates, ant
! perhaps at another session would con,
sent to a rate even lower than thai
fixed by Aldrich and the Finance com

THE FINAL BATTLE OVER TARIFFS

mittee. Should the House, therefore,
at another session, vote for free lum-
Der, and the Senate vote duty Of
even 81 so, the compromise would ne
cessarily have to be at point much
lower than SIPS. Seventy-tive cents
would be the most the Senate could
hope to retain under such circum-
stances.
All these things were taken into con-
sideration by the republican senators
from Oregon, Washington and Idaho
when they finally agreed to accept the
Taft rate of 81 25. They were aware,
as were others, that there was dis
tinct possibility that one house or the
other might reject the conference re-
port, and that possibility would be tne
greater if these five Senators voted
against the bill. In that event, an
other session would necessarily be conf
PEELED to consider tariff revision, and
public sentiment would be aroused to
such pitch that Congress, on its second
attempt, would have to make much
greater, and much more general reduc-
tions than are contained in the Payne
Aldrich bill.
Many of the commodities produced
in the Northwest are well taken care
of from the high protection standpoin',
in the present bill. Lumber sustains
reductio nfrom 81 to 81 %; hides go
on the free list, and coal sustains a
reduction of about 20 per cent but
wool, lead, sugar, hops and agricultural
products generally are stoutly protect
ed in the new bill, and this fact further
influenced the Northwestern senators
to get in line, on the theory that they
are getting more for their states now
than they could hope to get at another
session.
While there is much disgruntlemen
among western Senators over the fact
that hides have been placed in the
free list, this dissatisfaction is not due
so much to fear of injury to the cattle
industry, as to anxiety lest--this bt
the opening wedge for placing Other
western products, especially so-callec
