Washington, July 29.--After work
ing for nearly three weeks at what
proved to be one of the longest and
most arduous tasks ever experienced
in tariff building, the majority mem
bers of the conference committee on
the Payne-Aldrich bill brought their
labors to a sudden close at six o'clock
last night.
All day long the conferees had
struggled with the question of bring
ing down the House rates on gloves
and the Senate rates on lumber to fig
ures they felt would meet with execu-
tive approval In this effort the con
ferees failed and they appeared to APP
preciate the fact
In view of President Taft's utter
ance. Senate and House leaders were
predicting last night that the confer
.ence rate on gloves and lumber would
not prove satisfactory TO him At the
same time it was recognized that con
ditions We're such that unless com
promises were made by the conferees
it would be many days before a re-
port could be made. 1t required a
roll call to fix the rates on lumber,
which are as follows
Lumber, rough $1.40 a thousand
feet. The house rate was 81 and the
Senate rate $3.50. The Senate diuer-
entails were adopted. making lumber
planed on one side dutiable at $3.50,
two sides. $215. three sides, $3.50 IL
and four sides $3.50. The Senate
rates on lata and shingles which were
"a fuh ha a oil
were adopted
Gloves were made dutiable at rates
considerable in advance of the duties
liked by the Senate bill which for the
most part were the same as the Ding
ley rates. The conference rates are as
follows:
Women's and children's gloves val
ued at not more than 81 a dozen, 81
30 a dozen: valued at more than 81
but not more than Sl2 dozen, 81 a
dozen; valued at more than $l2 doZ-
IN, 80 per cent ad valorem.
Just before the close of the session
The print paper schedule was reopen
ed and the rate fixed at S3.75 a ton.
This is only % cents less than the
Senate rate and SITE more than the
House rate. IL is expected TINS rate
will raise the ire of the members OF
the special committee of the House
which investigated the wood pulp and
paper question. especially as the chair
man, Representative Mann, Illinois,
has announced that he would not vote
for the conference report unless the
rate was retained. The conference
rate is 50 25 a ton less than the exist
ing rate.
If the report is laid before the
House on Friday according to the pre-
sent program it will he printed and
taken up on Saturday. 1t is not be-
lieved that the House will discuss II
for over one day. If this estimate OF
time proves correct, the Senate may
begin with the report on Monday. II
is believed that it can be disposed OF
next week.

To anyone interested in automo-
bies it is worth his while to stand at
some point where these machines
pass and look them over as they go
by. The number and the variety of
makes attracts attention, but this is
not the only thing. Their are ma
chimes that it is a pleasure to see
run. They go along with the mini
mum of noise, merely a musical hum,
that advertise them as of fine make
and we'll cared for. Others that are
of good make but do not receive prop
er care. advertise tne latter fact and
advertise it we'll Others make as
much noise as a drum corps, and show
that they are cheap machines and do
not receive any more attention than
is necessary to make them go from
place to place, protesting at every
revolution of the fly-wheel. Still
others, the Mercedes of the scrap
heaps, go by painting and grooming,
humping and pounding with a racket
that belongs particularly to their like.
An observant man may, by watching
machines learn a good deal from the
procession that is constantly passing
through some of the streets.-Ansonia
