other cities importing gloves and hosiery
in this country had a lively session to-
day with Chairman Payne of the ways
and means committee over the latter S
statement concerning the hosiery and
glove schedules in the pending tariff bill
Chairman Payne had printed in the
Congressional Record today a long state
ment defending the increase in the duties

Attorney General Says Act Of Con

Attorney General Wickersham has given
an opinion to the Secretary of the Navy
in response to his inquiry that Congress
was fully within its constitutional rights
in the enactment of legislation directing
that the United States marines be re
stored to duty on board ships of the
United States Navy.
In anticipation OF the formal rendition
OF this opinion the Navy Department has
already issued rders for the execution
of the provisions of the act of Congress.
The question OF constitutionality was
raised by Secretary Meyer in the first
DAYS Of his administration. and 1t was
then reported that it was the intention of
the department to disregard the statute
and To follow the policy of President
Roosevelt to restrict the marines to shore

Report May Be Delayed.

The finance committee of the Senate will
proba bly, not be ready to report its recon-
mendations affecting the administration Of
the tariff law and the maximum and mini
mum arrangement when it reports the
main body of the BILL which will probably
be early next week Those matters will
doubtless be brought up in the form of
committee amendments offered on the
fioor after the bill Is in the Senate.
Senator Aldrich. while he has ideas of
what he favors in these two respects, has
not reduced them to writing yet and pre-
sented them to the committee formally
although he may do SO at any time.
1t is quite likely that the Senate finance
committee will report the bill within four
or Ave days after 1t is referred to IT..
Some doubt is felt to how long the
democratic members of the committee
may want to consider the matter after
the republican plans are presented to the
full committee. AS for the republicans,
they will be ready, as il looks at present.
to report the bill back as soon as they
get it.

WHAT IS WHISKY? UP TO TAFT
CONTROVERSY THRESHED OUT

Distinguished Lawyers Appear for
Foreign and Domestic Distillers
to Procure New Interpretation.

The controversy as to What Is
Whisky" in progress ever since the pure
fool law was enacted was renewed al
the White House today before President
Taft as referee.
The debate enlisted the services of many
distinguished lawyers. among them Joseph
II. Choate. former ambassador to Great
Britain. and John G.. Carlisle, former
Secretary of the Treasury. In addition
there were present the representatives OF
practically all the big distilleries of this
country.
Mr.. Choate appeared for Canadian in

lers producing in his native state Of Ken

Government Representatives.
Attorney General Wickersham, Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson and Dr.. Har-
vey W. Wiley. the pure food expert, were
among the government representatives
heard. The hearing in the cabinet room
of the executive offices began promptly
at noon and continued for more than two
hours.
This was the second time the President
had been called into the controversy
Under a ruling of former Attorney
General Bonaparte, in consonance witt
chemical opinion by DIR. Wiley al
whisky not aged and freed from fusel oil
by several years of storage in white oak
barrels, which have been charred on the
inside, has been made subject to label
ing under the head of imitation or
compound whisky.
Seek More Lenient Ruling.
The distillers who purify their produc
by higher forms of mechanical rectitica
tion and redistilation are anxious tc
have this ruling reversed, declaring they
are suffering damage from the system OF
abeling now in vogue. whereas their
whisky is as pure and free from delete
rious ingredients as the whisky rectifieG
in the Old-fashioned way and now regard
ed as the only ''straight'' whisky on the
market. Most Scotch whiskies and some
higher grades of rye and sour mash In
use in this country are classed as 'imita-
ton at present.
The matter has been taken under ad
visement by the government authorities
and a decision is expected soon.

Vote on Coal Schedule.
1t is more difficult to say what tho vote
is likely to be on the question of the coal
schedule The Payne reciprocal provision
means that IL Canada permits coal from
this country to cross her borders free Of
duty, Canadian coal will be admit ed into
the United States free of duty. The op-
ponents of the provision declare that the
only persons who will be benefited TO any
extent by 1t are the coal producers of
who practically control the Canadian
market between Quebec and Winnipeg
and ship very little coal to points within
the United States. If Canada takes the
duty off Of coal from this country they
say these men will save several millions
Gf dollars year in duty now paid to the
Canadian government.
Furthermore. the opponents Of the re-
ciprocal provision urge that by taking off
the protective duty on Canadian coal a
great hardship will be placed by Congress
on the producers in this country who sell
their coal at home. Western mines that
will come into direct competition with
