ASKS FOR DUTY ON LUMBER
SENATOR ROOT MAKES PLEA IN
THE SENATE.
Gives Reasons Why Mills Along
Canadian Border Should Be Pro-
=; tscted by Diferantial Tax.

An extended plea for the differential
duty on dressed lumber was made in the
Senate today, in connection with the con-
sideration of the tariff bill, by Senator
Root, who cited the various lumber inter-
ests along the Canadian border and gave
reasons why they should be accorded a
protective tariff.
Canada" he said, "offers to every
planning mill which will move across the
border remission of taxes for from fif-
teen to twenty-five years. So that the
duty which we are imposing, if we adopt
the committee report on dressed lumber,
merely balances the tax that is imposed
upon the property of our mills for the
support of our state and municipal gov
ernments."
Calling attention to the fact that the
duties under consideration in the cases
Of the rates provided by the House bill
and by the. committee on finance. were
less than those of the Dingley bill, Mr..
Hale inquired whether the senator from
New York believed the Dingey rate
should be retained.
MY impression is" said Mr. Root.
is just about at the right point to main
tain a healthy opportunity for business
and a healthy restraint upon business. l
do not think there can be reduction in
these differentials that would not trans
fer large portion of the planning busi-
ness to Canada"
Mr.. Root read communication from
the Amalgamated Wood Workers of
America as evidence that the employees of
the industry regard the maintenance of
a substantial differential as essential in
their efforts to keep their wages at the
level established by the Dingley law.

BUFFALO. N. Y. May 24.-Two and

Capt. James Sullivan of the Princeton
escaped by swimming to the life-saving
dock.
According to statements of eyewit-
nesses, the Princeton had crossed the bow
of the Western States in order to assist
In towing her to her dock. The tug Yale
had taken the line off the Western States
and was swinging around to head up the
river for the dock.
The Western States. however, had
greater neadway than the captain of the
Yale evidently calculated for the big
steamer struck the Princeton amidships
and turned her over, the members of
the crew being precipitated into the wa
ter.
Passengers on board Of the Western
States saw one of the tugs men come to
the surface and make short struggle
for life. Then the unfortunate sailor
sank from view.

COUNTRY IMPATIENT.
Senator's Receive Appeals to Close
Up the Tariff Debate.

Republican leaders in the Senate ex-
pressed the opinion today that the end
of this week would show a clearing of
the tariff situation. They said it seems
quite likely that an agreement can be
reached fixing day for q final vote
some time about the middle or the Goth
of June.
The leaders expect to make progress
when the lumber schedule IS out of the
way. and they think this week will clean
up that schedule and the few milI-ends
of other schedules passed over. The
great struggle over the cotton schedule
will then come. and as soon as this is
out of the way the leaders expect to see
daylight.
The pressure from the country at large
for action on the bill is beginning to be
felt. Senators are getting letters and
kilograms from constituents urging them
TO put an end to the suspense under which
the business interests are laborng. The
small merchants are making themselves
felt through the daily press and the COM
bined hue and cry against delay is grow
ing more strident every day.

Weak from the effects of his illness.
which compelled him to cut short his

ashore from the naval yacht Mayfower
at the Washington navy yard yesterday

the Panama canal. Until yesterday Mr..
Dickinson had not left his berth since
the Mayfiower sailed from Havana, where
the vessel was when his condition began
to cause concern.
He was first ashore, and. while show
ing signs Of his illness. appeared to be
improved. He assured the waiting re-
porters that he would be all right as soon
as he had regained his lost strength
Mr.. Dickinson expressed pleasure at
the progress being made in the construc-
ton of the Panama canal, but when
asked regarding conditions in Cuba, the
Mayhower having touched there on the
return trip from the Canal Zone. he
iaughingly replied: Il only saw Cuba

House. The remainder Of the working
day he was at his desk in the War De-
partment. clearing up the mass of pri-
vate correspondence accumulated during
his absence.
To all inquirers in regard to the Pan
anna canal he expressed himself as en-
tirely satisfied with the progress that
has been made. and said 1t was going
ahead as rapidly as possible consis-
tent with good economic management
of the force of employees now there. All
the engineering problems likely to be
encountered in the construction of a
lock type of canal. Mr.. Dickinson saws
have been solved. and, in his opinion.
will be successfully worked out by the
commission. Col. Goethals. chief engi-
neer. he says, holds to his opinion ex-
pressed while visiting Washington sew
eral months ago that the canal will be
ready for business by January 1, 1915.
Mr.. Dickinson believes the lock sys-
tenn OF canal 20 be better than that of
the sea-level type Whatever doubts he
may have had on this subject. he says,
were dissipated by his visit to the 18TH
mus. The Secretary says there are. no
serious labor problems on the isthmus.
