manufacturers of wool was defeated
by vote of 20 to %. Mr.. Foster of
Louisiana voted, in the affirmative
while his colleague. Mr.. McEnery
voted with the majority.
MIR. Dolliver also offered substi-
tute for section 1913 which he said was
framed to compensate manufacturers
of yarns for loss they sustain because
of the duty on wool. The provision
he said gave these manufacturers
three times as much duty as neces-
sary to properly compensate them on

days before their receipt. appealing
to him to support the committees S
schedule on woolens as of equal inter-
est to wool growers us the duty on
wool. He said these kilograms were
signed by owners of small woolen
mills and all of them read alike.
Why not read their names?" sug-
gested Mr.. Warren.
Hot Retort.
Because" retorted Mr.. LaFollette,
'they have been fooled into signing
such kilograms and did not know
what they were doing"
"The senator from Wisconsin is
probably Judge of the foolng busi-
ness" replied the Wyoming senator
During an acrid colloquy between
the senators from Wyoming and Wis
consin. Mr.. Warren asked what had
been the net result of the efforts of
the Wisconsin senator in enlightening
congress on "the interests they were
serving"
This inquiry followed a declaration
by Mr.. LaFollette in which he said:
II want to believe that there are
men on this floor who do not know
the interests they are serving"
Asked as to the results of his CAM
paign of enlightenment. Mr.. LaFol-
lette, showing much feeling, said:
"They have been pretty good. When
l came here l stood alone and now
there are a dozen who stand with
me-"
The gavel Of the presiding officer
kept time with applause in the gal
leries. Order was restored and Mr..
LaFollette continued:
"And the results will be better let
me tell the senator from Wyoming.
The lines will be broken not only III
the middle. and extIeihe west, but in
| the east as we'll. l. know what I am
talking about"
Mr.. Bacon then interposed to call
attention to the absence of quorum,
but after the roll had been called and
sixty-six senators had come into the
chamber, Mr. I4aFollette took up the
discussion of the bill calmly and
there was no continuation of the
forensic display.

bate grew warm.

Upton FAvORS HEAVIER YACHT
THINKS BETTER AND FAIRER
RACE COULD BE SAILED.
Prominent Designers on This Side
in Accord With the Com
Petitor for Cup.

NEW YORK. October 27.-Prominent
yacht designers on this side of the Allan
tic are joining with Sir Thomas Lip
ton in his suggestions that fairer and
better race for the American cup could
be sailed with more seaworthy boats
than the lighter racing machines which
erning previous contests.
William Gardner, A. Cary Smith and
Henry j. Gieow, all noted builders and
why a challenge under the American
rules of measurement, which We're adopted
in 1903 by the New York Yacht Clur.
should be refused.
Some of the designers declare that even
faster and better boats can be built
to comply with the new rules, and a
contest under more normal and satisfac-
tory conditions would result.
Canvassing Sentiment
Sir Thomas received several prominent
yaciltsmen and members of the New
York Yacht Club at his rooms at the
Waldorf today and the sentiment of the
club is being carefully determined by
the Irish yachtsman before he decided to
issue his formal challenge.
There has been some talk OF the pos
sbilities of building d challenger in Can
ada. which would do away with the
hazardous trip across the Atlantic. It is
pointed out that challenger on the old
lines could be built thfre and sail ION
her own bottom from ST. Johns. Halifax,
Sydney, or some othea' point to Sandy
Hook with perfect safety
The ABILITIES for building racing Yachts
in Canada are poor. however. and such
an undertaking does not appear to be
feasible to most ot the yachtsmen and
designers to w>>m it has been suggested.
