LA TOILETTE IS
CALLED TO0RDER
Makes Personal AlluSion to
Senator AIdrich.
SAYS CHAIR IS PARTIAL

Wisconsin Senator Declares Presiding
Officer Had Not Been So Prompt on
Other Occasions When lnfractions
Of Rules Occurred-Twenty-four
Amendments to Wool Schedule
Voted Down En- Bloc.
Washington, June 1.-THE senate
voted down the twenty-four amend
ments to the wool schedule offered
by Senator La Toilette. The vote was
81 - A.
Following the vote Senator La Fol-
lette declared that by his course on
the wool schedule Senator Aldrich
had forfeited the confidence of other
Republican senators and impeached
his own leadership.
The chair called Mr.. La Toilette to
order because of his personal allu.
sion, whereupon the latter complained
that the chair had not been so prompt
In other infractions Of the rules.
When the senate convened numer-
Gus amendments offered by Mr.. La
Toilette substituting ad valorem for
specific duties In the wool schedule
were promptly taken up for the pur.
pose Of voting on them ZEN bloc" as
Vice President Sherman announced.
Senator Cummins, taking the aoor
said he would vote for the amend
ments not so much because he was
satisfied that they were exactly right
but because he was absolutely sure
the schedule reported by the finance
committee was absolutely wrong. He
then proceeded at length to show
how. from his point of view, the
finance committees work had miscar-
ried.
Would Recommit Woei Schedule.
Mr.. Cummins announced that he
would move to recommit the WOO
schedule to the finance committee
with instructions to report the sched
ule to the senate with the duties on
wool unchanged. but with compensat
ing duties on woolen manufactures
that will measure the difference be
tween the price paid by the chief for
eign competitors and also that the
schedule be reported back with a pro
vision directing that the duties be sc
levied as to represent the difference
between the cost of production al
home and the cost of production
abroad.
The contention made by Mr.. Cum
minis that a readjustment Of the wool
en- schedule is desired caused Mr.. AL
drich to assert that no such desire
had been reflected through the appear
ance Of any deputations of farmers
sheep raisers or woolen manufactur
ers. He said there was apparently
general satisfaction with the wooler
schedule. with the possible exception
Of one class of manufacturers who are
affected by natural conditions which
sannot be changed by legislation.
Mr.. Aldrich called attention to the
fact that Mr. Cummins has favored
lower duties all along the line, but
added that the people Of Iowa were
not especially interested IN the wool
en- schedule. while ten or twelve sen
ators representing states whose peo
pie are vitally interested in the du
ties on woolens are unanimously In ia
vor of the existing schedule.
