SAYS CHANCE Is SMALL
FOR So DUTY ON LUMBER

Seattle, June 1-According to special
dispatches from Washington to the
Post Intelligencer, it is the conclusion
of a number of Westren senator's that
whatever hopes the lumbermen once
had of having the Dingley rate,, on COM
mon lumber retained in the Payne bill
have 10 gone glimmering. It is al
most conceded that, instead Of 81, the
bill, as it finally becomes q law, will
place the lumber rate at 81. so.
Only a few weeks ago it was conf
IDENTIFY expected by those most interest
ed that the higher rate would be res
tored in the house bill by the senate,
and the sudden determination to ad-
al the house rate only so per cent
is credited by a Pacific coast senator
to two causes. The first of these is
that the senate leaders realize that
revision downward" has been more
or less a myth, SO far, and that they
must soon give it more attention.
The second, according to the senator,
is that the lumbermen have shown
TOO much willingness to accept the
81. so rate when, in his opinion, they
might have received the 81 rate by
holding out for it.
Little opposition has been made to
the proposed increase in the duty on
hops from IL to 20 cents. A few brew.
ing concerns have protested, but an
Oregon senator is authority for the
statement that the 20 cent rate is a
certainty.

SALOON MEN DON'T
LIKE NEW STATE LAW

Tacoma, June 1.-Saloon proprie-
tors here are making wry faces over
the new law taking effect June IL,
which compels them to remove screens
and shades from the doors and win
dows of their resorts. The section re-
ferred to reads:
every person being the owner or
manager Of, or an employee in. any
drinking saloon, who shall obstruct
the view of the inside thereof from
the outside by 9 of any screen,
shade or other devices, on any day,
shall be guilty Of a misdem eanor."
Both County Prosecuting Attorney
j. L. McMurray and Chief of Police
Duley declare they will enforce the
law to the letter.

ma HATS MAI GOOD r1sn

SDeeaallst Advises SlunAer oufloe
for . Pretty E~xDrsssion.
q all the apologies for the Merry
Widow hat the newest IL the most
novel. It ID advanced in its favor that
It 10 responsible for the even greater
care women are bestowing on their
teeth. OF y all women OF the last
Two generations, even those careless IN
other respects, have been particular in
regard to their dental charms, but 1t
10 asserted that since the advent Of the
Merry Widow they have been more at
tent1ve to them than ever, the New
York Press says A cosmetic dentist
explains this by pointing out that when
a woman wears a large hat her hair
Is almost covered except at the sides,
where it is puffed out; her forehead
Is hidden, and her temples are merely
suggested, so that nothing stands out
clearly save her nose and mouth, and
as. a result the teeth are noticed as
they never were before.
This state Of affairs is brought about
in a great measure by the hats with
large round crowns and dropping brims.
Most girls, when they want to show
their teeth, think 1t necessary to smile
broadly, says the cosmetic dentist, and
thus proclaim their intention in a most
patent manner. They should learn to
show them without making their inten.
ton obvious. It Is not necessary to
smile broadly; in fact, a far more eff
fective result is obtained If the lips
are only slightly parted in the center
when the emotions Of amusement or
happiness are to be expressed.
To teach his patients to improve the
expressions Of their mouths this spe-
cialist tells them to think pleasant
things before going to sleep. They are
instructed to smile sweetly, with the
lips just touching, so that when they
wake they have a happy aspect Of
countenance. He considers it is a good
plan to make them assume the exQuis-
lite shape known as Cupid's bow. The
lips should be pressed in the center
also and should be kept rosy of the
signs Of thoroughly good health.

That diamonds and pearls will b

nous extent IL the duties should b In
creased II the contention Of the Maiden
Lane gem importers, according to the
New York World. A COMMITTEES has
been organised In the Jewel district,
with Alfred Krower a. the chairman,
which will send representatives to
Washington In an effort to keep down
The duties.
Even now, when the duty on cut
stones and pearls Is only 10 per cent,
authorities In the trade estimate that
the quantity Of gems struggled into the
country is not less than Is per cent
II the amount that goes through the
custom house.
The argument for higher diamond
1uties Is that, while this country buys
more than 60 per cent Of the worlds
output, less than 500 men are employed
here In cutting and polishing, while
n Antwerp and Amsterdam the dia-
nond factories employ upward Of
1900 men. 1t is hoped by some the
supremacy of these great diamond CEN
-ers may be transferred to New York
and that an increase in the tariff may
aid In bringing this about.
The stones in the rough are adj
nitted free and the present duty Of 10
per cent on the cut stones Is about
equal to the difference in the cost of
his kind Of labor here and abroad, 1t
d said. The big manufacturers figure
that If the duty went above 10 per
tent they would then begin to COM
pete chiefly with struggled stones. be-
cause the additional gain made pos
,ible by higher duties would tempt
many to engage In the ~clandestine
::rade. This was the case. they say,
rom 1894 to 1897, when the govern
nent's reports indicated a slump in dia-
nond imports.
The pearl importers are also calling
N the jewelry trade of the entire
country to oppose the pearl paragraph
If the Payne bill. Under the present
aw the government received more than
100000 In one year as duties on
precious stones and pearls. The i'm
ports were at the rate Of $44.OOO,OOO a
year just prior to the recent depression
and are nowaa almost up to the same
volume.

Legal Information

The manager Of defendant mill in the

Southern Reporter, 6S5, posted notices
f~orbidding its employees under penalty
Of discharge to trade with other con-
Germs. Plaintiff brought an action for
damages to its business caused by these
notices. The supreme court Of Lou.
isiana held that as defendant had not
combined with others, and as its OBJ
ject was not to injure plaintiff, but tt
protect and safeguard It's own interest
its methods were not unlawful.
Deeds to certain lots contained tn,
covenant that the title to the lant
should never vest in a person of African
descent or colored person. The lot
were purchased by a corporation who's
stockholders were negroes who intended

In Peoples Pleasure Park Co., Inc, e
al. v. Rohleder, 81 Southeastern Re
porter, 794, an action to cancel the deei
and enjoin the sale, the supreme cour
Of appeals of Virginia held that thu
transfer was not a breach Of the coven
ant as the corporation, though composed
Of colored persons, was not itself a col
Ored person.
A widow, So years Of age, married 8
man 50 years old, thus losing her pen
sion. Becoming dissatisfied, she sought
annulment Of the marriage on the
ground Of her husbands physical In
capacity, which the supreme court Of
New York In Hatch v. Hatch, 40 New
York Supplement, Is, declined, saying
that because Of advanced years Of the
parties at the time Of marriage, the
desire for support and companionship,
rather than the usual motives of mar
rage, must have actuated them, and
that the widow, having lost her pension
by gaining a husband, could not ex-
change again.
The Kentucky statute provides that
railroad companies shall furnish sep

It further provides that companies OPP
Grating roads more Lar five miles In
length shall run at least n passenger
train a day each way. In Southern

Southwestern Reporter, 372, 1t was con
tended that appellant violated the COM
partment law in failing to suitably d.
vide a caboose attached to a freight
train where there was no other train
run. The court of appeals Of Kentucky
held that a freight train to which a
caboose, carrying passengers, was at
tached was still a freight train, and al
though the company may have neglect
ed to furnish the requisite number OF
passenger trains 1t had not violated the
compartment Law.

people know her by the appellation Of
Jenny Darney, from the manner. l pre-
sumo, In which she used to mend her
clothes. Her present garb Is entirely
of her own manufacture. She collects
the small parcels Of wool which lie
about the fields in sheep farms. spins

making; and as she cannot find any
other method Of making the yarn into

Farrell Makes Statement Re-

to Railroad Men.

Seattle, May 27-J. D. Farrell, vice
president and general manager OF the
Oregon & Washington railway, last
night gave out the following signed
statement:
Arrangements have been made be-
tween the Northern Pacific, Union Pa
cific and Great Northern roads, under
which the Northern Pacific line be-
tween South Tacoma and Vancouver,
Wash, and the bridge owe the Column
bia river, will be used jointly by the
three companies named. The North
ern Pacific will at once be in work to
complete double tracking it's road SO as
to care for the business of the three
companies. The property will be used
for any and all kinds of business by the
three roads and will be mainland as a
first-class modern double track road
for all the interests named between
Portland, Or, and Puget sound"
Mr. Farrell said the foregoing state
ment represented all he knew of the
matter and that the agreement was ne
gotiated in New York between the
highest officials of the respective rail-
roads.
J. M. Gruber, of St. Paul, general
manager of the Great Northern, was
shown Mr.. Farrell's statement and ex-
pressed surprise.
cit is news to me-" he said. "It is
matter, however, that would hardly be
brought to my attention"
Several other officials in this city of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cifc to whom the announcement was
shown expressed incredulity as we'll as
surprise.
Hill has a double track from Seattle
to Tacoma. Hartman is interested in
S ,curing an outlet to Puget Sound,
Tacoma and Seattle.
From Tacoma to Seattle, Hartman
will have no need of the Northern Pa
cifc tracks, as he has independent ter
minals at Tacoma and will build a line
to a point three miles north of Taco
ma, where he will encounter the track
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul, with which he has an agreement
that permits Of joint use of the 26
miles of track from there to Black
river.
From Black river to Seattle Harri-
man comes in on the Union Pacific
right of way to the commodious freight
and passenger terminals he has secured
in this city.

Of Pasadena are circulating a petition

Sunset Telephone Company a franchise
to do business in the city under any

in Pasadena expired some time age

A few days ago, on orders from the
city council the company's poles and

Seattle Population

Seattle, June 1.-Seattle's popula-
ton is 3O9, 1876, according to the esti-
mate of r. L. Polk & Co., which firm
has just issued the 1909 city directory.
Its correctness is attested by the re-
Gently announced estimate by Post
master Geroge F. Russell, based on a
census taken by mail carriers, of q
population of 3O7, 200. Seattle has
gained IL per cent in population at a
time when the nation was experiencing
an era Of commercial depression. At
the rate of gain for the past year, Sc
attic would have q population of 500,
900 by the end of 1911.

The American College student.

Privy Councillor Zuntz, on his return
tn Berlin, after a three months visit to
the United States, delivered a lecture
before the students OF the Industrial
high school Of that city, In which he
had much to say in praise OF Ameri-
can students and of the college sys-
tenn under which they were trained.
.Our Students" he said, "can help
themselves financially only by teach
Ing. The American student has the adj
vantage In this respect, because, with

Big Customs Scandal Expected

Washington, May 27.-Frauds in the
New York customs house threaten to
create a far bigger scandal than has
been heretofore limited at, it has been
learned at the treasury department.
Officials of the department believe that
the governments Investigations will re-
suit in some decidedly startling dis
closures. According to the report, the
investigation may involve several inn
porters, transportation company in
spectors and high customs officials.
