Progressives came into the Senate to-
day determined to continue the fight
against the wool schedule, although
the votes taken yesterday demonstrat-
ed the ability of the finance commit
tee to maintain a majority OF 10 to II
on all recommendations. The vote of
43 to 81 against Delivers contention
that only wool in yarn should be tax
ed, again upheld the committee.
Before the vote was taken Warren
declared the purpose of levying duty
on the entire weight Of yarn was to
keep out material mixed with cheap
cotton. Dolliver claimed there was
nothing surreptitions in mixing cotton
and wool in making cheap. yarn and
said there is no good reason f0f dis
eliminating against cheap material.
Dolliver then offered an amendment
proposing a duty on such wool fabrics
as are made partly Of cotton. In ex-
planation of the amendment he con-
vulsed the Senate with witty remarks
on the Dingley law.

Taft Now Takes Three Square Meals.
Washington, d. c., June 10.-No de-
cision ever reached by the cabinet OF
president created greater excite
ment than this pronunciamento is
sued by President Taft day or two
ago:
"The president wants the cook to
stop sending up to him every day at
o'clock red apple and shredded
wheat biscuit for his luncheon. He
wants substituted for it meal worthy
of grown-up man. There must. in
future, be a cup OF soup, a bit OF roast
or fish, vegetable or two, a season
able dessert or fruit and glass OF
iced tea or buttermilk."
The members OF Tafts cabinet who
have been conforming to the simple
lunch habit set by their boss mani
tested their exultation by a chorus of
joyful thanksgiving. They have all
fallen into the practice OF going over
to the Metropolitan Club. where they
serve a fine luncheon, and negotiating
the entire bill of fare. from soup to
cigars. Secretary Of State Knox, who
doesn't weigh much more than three
ham sandwiches, has gained ten
pounds already, and Attorney General
Wickersham, who was the only mem.
Der OF the cabinet that refused to
adopt the simple life luncheon, has
the laugh on his associates who did.
The President inaugurated his new
policy of taking three square meals a
day for two reasons. First. he found
that the cravings Of the inner man
were not satisfied with two and half
meals, and, secondly, his system OF ex-
ercise has kept his weight down, and
ne thinks he can safely return to three
meals.
When he became president three
months ago Taft confined his midday
meal to one or two apples, to head off
the impending increase Of weight.
The cabinet members, not accustomed
to such abstinence, suffered more
than did the president The president
did not stop for luncheon, but chewed
away at an apple or biscuit while
ne worked, and the members of his
official family fell into the habit of
doing the same thing.
Secretary Dickinson, who is big
and robust, and Secretary Nagel, who
wah accustomed to three full meals a
day, used to glance uneasily at the
clock whenever lunch time came
around, but the president never seem
ed cognizant of the approach of the
eating hour.
Consequently there was much dis
tress among the cabinet members. So.
