FIGHT WILL CENTER
ON LUMBER AND OIL
Lines Drawing Close for Tar
iff Battle in House
Tomorrow.
VOTE WILL
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Long and Nerve-Racking Siege
Expected Before Action Is
Taken.
Bv 7. C. wELLIvER.

The whole tariff consideration of the.
House Of Representatives-the Ways
and Means Committees work, the Com
uittee of the Whole. and perhaps even
the Rules Committee work-wiII be
tried over in the House on Friday.
Beginning at o'clock. the House will
receive the report of the Committee of
the Whole. and proceed to consider it
under the rule which was adopted on
Monday In that consideration there
will have TO be record votes on all the
amendments which have been adopted
I'm the Committee of the Whole as pro
vided in the rule. It will be a long
and nerve-wearing siege. probably last
ing till well toward midnight.
Indeed. il is now recognized that there
is serious possibility If the Friday leg
islative day being continued far into
the next calendar day, for the strenuous
sessions of the Committee of the Whole
are storing up a great amount Of trou-
BILE, which the House must dispose Of
in a short space.
The lumber and oil amendments will
occupy most Of the time, and Oh each of
them a great fight is framing: up. The
lumber factions are especially busy
drrJmming for votes. The leaders of the
lumber lobby have confessed that when
they went to the vote on Tuesday they
fully expected to be defeated, and TO
see free lumber adopted by a majority
of about thirty. Their poll showed just
about that majority for free lumber.
Still Mystery.
That it should have been defeated by
six is among the mysteries which they
have not yet been able to explain, even
to their own satisfaction. They won
victory that they did not dream of win
ming. They had given up the fight In
the House They recognized that defeat
awaited them there. but kept up the
motions to the end. and maintained
serious faces while doing II, because
they realized that tSe smaller the ma
50rity against them IN the House the
easier il would be for them to get the
Senate 10 give them more protection in
its bill.
But they won. and the explanation
IS really simple. The vote was net
a record one, and a good many men
who would not have dared vote fCr
a tariff on lumber in a record vote
preferred. rather than brave the
wrath Of the organization, to post
pone the evil day OF their break and
vote for the duty, with the axpec-
tation of reversing themselves on
Friday. The House does a good deal
Of business this way, because Cf the un-
willingness Of members TO break with
the management except on vital issues
The record vote is the terror which they
avoid as long and as often as possible;
on one side they avoid it because of
their fear OF their constituents. ana on
the other because OF unWiliinguess TO

Ind perhaps still other factors.

1t is noteworthy fact that the
sense OF distance is not possessed by
all blind persons. but is found only in
few and to very different degrees in
these. The blind possessors OF this
sense locate 1t in and near the fore
head and say that the sensation is
vague and somewhat resembles light
touch.
From the experiments OF Kunz,
Woelffin and others it appears very
probable that the distance sense is
function Of the sensory fbers OF the
first branch Of the nervous trigeminus,
which ramines through the face. It Is
still unknown whether the distance
sense is served by special nerves or
by fibers which also serve the pres
sure and other senses. An investiga-
ton of the conditions which favor this
sense would be very valuable, practi-
cally as we'll as theoretically, for thor
ough development OF the distance
sense would make the lives Of the
blind far safer and more independent
than they are at present.-Dr. Wool
