FOR DOLLAR LUMBER.
House Conferees VIII Make a Strong
Fight in the Committee.

Washington. July 13.-When the con-
ferees on the tariff bill began work to-
day it was with the knowledge that this
amendments to the lumber scheduia
over which contest was certain would
be reached before adjournment. The
house members were expected t. make
a strong fight for dollar Iumber,'s
which was defeated in the senate.
In view of the fact that the lumber
amendment viii require good sal of
deliberation Il is likely that after the
discussion has continued for time the
whole subject will be put over until
another day and the conferees win dis
pose of minor amendments.
The conferees have decided 20 ciea=
up the disputes over matters OF little
Importance before becoming entangleI
over the really serious differences.
Members Of the senate committee on
finance are preparing a statement re-
plying to charges that senate amend
ments TO the tariff will result in in
creasing the cost Of wooden and cotton
clothing. shoes and other articles OF
common wear as well as other necessi-
ties of life.
The statement will show that the
duty on shoes has been reduced and
that there has not been a single change
in the rates on woolen goods and that
the rates on cotton have not been in
creased.
There will follow a list Of about 500
decreases in rates from the Dingiey
law and a list of about so or rs in
creases. An effort will be made to
show that most OF the latter are not
in reality increases Of rates, but that
they provide for the collection Of rates
fixed by the DinEley law. which had
been set aside by the misinterpretation
of that law.
Recess was taken by the conferses
at 1:20 D. m. for luncheon.
The first reading Of the bin for the
OF amendments had pro-
ceeded about half way through the nax
or linen schedule. Practically all Of the
disputed amendments were passed
over. The cotton schedule was noe

The Topeka Club, Topeka, Kan.
Dear Sir: Your valued favor re-
ceived. After carefully reading your
letter I am convinced there is moth
ing for me to do but to ask you to
cancel my membership in the Topeka
club. I am determined to give the
attorney general the full support of
my administration in his effort to en-
force the law, and I believe Topeka.
the capital city, ought to set whole
some example for the other cities
throughout the state.
If the Topeka club can keep liquor
stored for its members there is no
reason why any other club in Kan
sas may not do the same thing. l
think it would be better for the city
of Topeka. as well as the members of
this club, if the club would set good
example by eliminating this feature
from their organization at once rath-
er than be compelled to do so by the
courts of the state. With much re-
spect, very truly yours,

Dear sir:
am in receipt of yours of the 2Sth.
and in reply will say that the Topeka
club has, at no time, broken the laws
of Kansas and the lockers are the
property of members, who are scat
tered all over the state.
You are no doubt familiar with
the working of the club since you
have been a member, therefore you
will know that it would be very diff
ficult for the officers to bring about
the change you suggest without
membership meeting. However, I
will place your request before the
board of directors at the earliest pos
sible moment, and will make report
of their action.
We should be very sorry indeed to
have you give up your membership,
but this is a matter entirely in your
hands Yours very respectfully,

The story that Governor Stubbs

Mr. w. A L. Thompson, President, the
Topeka Club, Topeka, Kansas.
Dear Sir: The attorney general has
rendered an opinion that the locker
system in clubs is in violation of the
laws of our state. I believe a majority
of the members of the Topeka club,
like myself, do not and never have been
in favor of the locker plan, and 1, for
one, would be glad to see the club
eliminate this feature of their organi-
cation.
It is a great convenience and almost
a necessity to have some place to en-
tertain outside visitors In Topeka, and
I have very much appreciated my
membership on this account. While L
perhaps have not been inside the club
on an average of more than once or
twice a year for the past two or three
years, there are times I need to have a
place 10 take prominent visitors. espe-
cially when my family are absent from
the city, as is the case at the present.
] shall very much regret on this ac-
count if it becomes necessary for me
to cancel my membership. but shall
deem 1t my duty to do SO unless the
members of the club decide innedia te- |
ly to comply with the terms OF our law. |
