LUMBER SCHEDULE
IS ADOPTED BY
THE SENATE
FINANCE COMMITTEE WINS A DE-
ClDED VICTORY.
Sentiment for Protective Duty Is
Shown to Be Strong In
the Senate.

Washington, June 23-Without a
speech, the senate today began voting
on the lumber schedule, as soon AS a
quorum had been procured. Whether
due to the hot weather or to eX-
haustion of the orators from other
cause. the change was accepted as a
good omen by those who are anxious
TO crowd the tariff bill TO final action,
and have the session come to an end
The first vote was on an amendment
by Senator McCumber. proposing the
rate OF 81 PEP thousand of sawed lum-
ber, instead of the rate decided upon
by the finance committee, which was
$3.50 per thousand. The committee
was sustained IA 10 "a.
From the beginning of the session.
there has been Il decided contest over
the lumber rate. and one OF the hard
est fights made by the Northwestern
senators had been for free lumber.
The majority against any reduction,
as shown by today's vote, indicates not
only that the committees schedule
will remain unchanged in the senate,
but that the sentiment for protective
duty is so strong there. that it will be
difficult TO change the senate rates in
conference
When the senate convened at 10
O'Clock, Mr. McCumber took the floor,
and presented his amendment. To
the surprise of all. no one rose to
speak, and Senator Frye. always es~
pecially prompt In the chair. imme'

the affirmative votes. only ten were
cast by Democrats. as follows:

AS soon as 1t was known that an
accident had occurred. the greatest ex-

The company officials Immediately
engaged the services of all the men

In the meantime, calls for help were
quickly sent throughout the surround

the unfortunate men in the mine was
pushed forward

hands and succeeded only in cutting a

Has Only a Small Force.

Jackson county, one of the first
counties to make formal application
to the state penitentiary board for
convicts to be worked on the roads.
has only 10 convicts that it can make
requisition for under the provisions
of the Patterson act No convict
serving for a term longer than five
years can be used in the road work.
Of these 10 two are said to be prac-
tically invalids, leaving force of IL
men subject to active duty. Also, of
the entire 13, only three have SEN
fences which extend beyond January
1, 1910. In other words, unless other
convicts are had for five-year terms
or less, before the beginning of the
new year, the county would have
only three convicts for road working
purposes. Attorney General Norwood
has held informally that the provis-
ions of the Patterson law will require
the county to support all of its con-
victs whose terms are for five years
or less, in case it makes requisition
for any such convicts. The language
of the act states that the sheriff shall
take all of the convicts eligible as to
term of sentence, making no distinc-
ton as between those that can work
and those that cannot. This will ne
cessitate the employment of a ply
stefan for. the invalid conviets.
In Jackson county a road district
has been formed and warden en-
ployed, his salary being SIS per
month. 1t will also require a cook
for the camp, stoekades for the con-
victs and their care and keep while
at work Should no further convic-
tions thus be had in that county be-
fore the end of the year, of men with
terms within those specified in the
law, then the county would have a
$75-per-month~ warden, the expenses
of cook and of hospital maintenance
for the invalid eonvicts on its hands.
Another feature Of the law is that
no provision is made for returning
convicts to the penitentiary when
they are once put on road duty. and
should a county find that its quota
of convicts had dropped down to
where they could not be worked ad-
vantageously, il is eontended that it
would have to keep those it has made
requisition for. as the law does not
authorize their return to the peni-
! Tertiary.
