MANY WHACKS TAKEN
AT THE TARIFF BILL
Continued from Page

tdblished a bad precedent. and declared
| that the proposed tariff reform may mean
free lumber which. he said, would be q
concession to u cult of sO-calied political
philosophy, but would not mean dollar
in reduction to the consumer. In advo-
cacy of the continued protection for lead,
Mr.. HameT said;
The most formida BILE competitor we
| have in the production of lead, because of
accessibility, including chea pness of
transportation to our markets, the abund-
ance and low cost of labor, and the unu-
Sually large values of silver contents in
the ore, is Mexico. ! do not think it ex-
aggeratiOn to say that Mexico has within
her borders the richest lead mines now
operating in the world.
at the present time the lead mines of
that country. owned and controlled by q
single American corporation, are produc-
ing 5000 tons of ore month, or q pTOduC-
tion of 1000 tons per annum in excess of
our own
Wages in the West.
That the cost of production in the west
is steadily increasing each year and that
il would seem absurd to contend that
lead mining can be profitabiy prosecuted
i'm this country without the aid of a pro-
tective tariff, was cOntended by Mr. Ha-
mer. He argued that the claim that the
so-caIIed lead trust fixes the price of
lead was untrue; that the American
Smelling & Refining company refined
ONLY 80 per cent of the total production of
lead in the United States.
Asserting that cost Of raising sheep has
increased to such an extent that the pres
ent duty on wool has been completely alb
sOrbed Mr.. Hamer said that the prOteC-
ton afforded by the present tariff is
more than offset
Mr.. Hamer said that the crv of a
trust had been raised also by the advo-
Gates of free lumber. He asserted that
if he believed in the existence of ''lum-
Der trust or that the reduction of the
present tariff on lumber would result in
lowering the price to the consumer. he
would vote to put lumber on the free list

FREIGHT WRECK HOLDS

Park City, March Glowing to a
wreck on the Rio Grande railroad this
afternoon the local passenger train to
Salt Lake City was held here. and
from all reports it is probable that the
train viii not get out ton ght.
The freight train which left here
about noon, a 10-car train, ran down
to mile post No. 81, where the last two
cars left the track, going off so badly
that a wrecking train from Salt Lake
was sent up to clear the line. This
piece of the road is in very bad con-
dition at the present time, owing to
the melting snow, and it is thought by
the local agent that the rails must
have spread and thrown the cars off.
The point where the train is wrecked

LONG BEACH, Aug. 29.-This was

considerable part of the day, was un-
usually warm, bringing little relief
The seashore and the shady parks,
therefore, were the mecca of thousands.
The ocean blue furnished the most
satisfactory panacea for that hot,
sticky feeling, and the calm surf was
thronged from 8 o'clock in the morn

The Municipal band played beach
concert and the Mills band gave its

SheIImound Park for
Days Pleasure

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29.-With
1000 men in line and $4,000 people cheer
ing from the sidewalks, the San Fran
cisco Schuetzen Verein began the cele-
bration of it's golden jubilee today with
a parade on Market street, followed by
Journey across the bay to Shell
mound park, Oakland, where the tes-
tivities will continue for eight days.
The parade was a remarkable one,
the German rifemen marching in mil
itary formation and under arms with
the precision and discipline of veterans.
Among the companies was one that
made it's initial appearance on the
streets of the city fifty years ago to-
day. when the present organization
was founded. At the time of the as
sassination Of President Lincoln these
men offered their services to police the
city, and for several days kept guard
until relieved by regular soldiers.
Arrived at the park the procession
disbanded and the afternoon was given

Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA. Aug. %. - Delegates
from all over the state arrived in this
city TODAY to attend the annual en-
campment of the United Spanish War
veterans of California, which begins to-
morrow and will last three days. P.
G Muldueeny of Roosevelt camp, Los
Angeles, is the candidate of the polltl-
cal members of the encampment, and
his election as department commander
is considered by them as assumed. Re-
garding this there are two opinions.
The Pasadena delegates from Ensign
Bagley camp are split fairly regarding
the election Four of Pasadend's $ votes
will 90 TO the man from Los Angeles,
the other four to his opponent, Who
ever that may be.
There is talk of naming Capt. Dixon
of the Los Angeles police department
as a compromise candidate. The anti
Mulqueeny people expect to make their
fight in the convention on the face that
this mans candidacy is advocated by
the people who are behind Abe Ruef in
the state, and they declare his election
will mean the entering into politics OF
the veterans association. The leader
of the Mulqueeny campaign committee
is a Ruef man; in fact, is employed in
the office of this political leader, and II
is on this evidence that Mulqueeny S
opponents profess to see danger in the
election OF this candidate.
The fight, according to the leaders Of
the opposition, is to be made on per-
sonaI grounds, and they expect that
rather than have this enter into the
campaign, Mulqueeny will withdraw
his name from the list and leave the
election open to the fayorite sons and
dark horses who are scheduled to come
before the enCampment.
OF these there will be enough and to
spare, although the delegates from the
southern half of the state are confident
they will be able to elect one of their
number. Headquarters for the Los
Angeles candidate were opened today
in the Hotel Guinaldo, where the de-
partment headquarters are located, and
the work of pledging delegates will go
forward merrily until the day Of the
election, which will probably be
Wednesday, although the more opti-
mistic members of the encampment are
hoping the election will COME on Tues
day.
