Injunction Case.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Tune S.-The

of prohibition against Judge George Will
liams Of the st. Louis circuit court, for

duties on the basis of the proportionate
s~hrinkage of the wool in the regulation
which would make 1t possible to admin
lister his proposed duties. He said it has
been proved that the secured contents of
the wool are determined by certain scien-
tific tests. Mr.. Warren said there was
no expert who would come within 5 per
cent of guessing the shrinkage of wool.
Standing only two feet apart, facing each
other and frequently gesticulating with
vigor, Senators Dolliver and Warren car
ried on a colloquy for more than an hour,
personally arguing out their differences
on the wooden schedule.
Declaring against the practice of assess
ing the wooden duty on the entire cloth,
although it had only a small percentage
of wool in it, Mr.. Dolliver said he would
propose a duty on the value of the wool
in the cloth.
Meeting this proposition the senator from
Wyoming illustrated the small duty on a
suit of clothes by the garments he wore,
declaring that the cloth in them cost only
81, while the making cost $50 and the
trimming $l2. The duty on that 81 worth
of cloth he said was trifling compared with
the value OF the suit.
Declaring that ne would ask the senator
from Wyoming to Join him in voting for
a provision that no duty in the pending
bill should be more than 100 per cent, SEN
ator Dolliver said he wanted to make
ready for the fight that is coming against
the republican party and our tariff sys-
tenn"
Senator Smoot, interposing, said that
while such a provision might appear
reasonable, it had happened in the wool
industry that the raw product had dropped
to and 6 cents a pound. In such a case
a duty of 100 per cent would have flooded
the market with foreign wool and would
have been inadequate to protect the in
dustry.
McCumber Supports Committee.
Mr.. McCumber spoke strongly in favor OF
duties recommended by the committee. He
reviewed conditions in North Dakota wher
the Wilson bill wool was admitted free OF
duty. Insisting that he did not wish those
conditions repeated he declared his belief
that duties provided by the bill were not
too high.
Insisting that customs duties needed nc
revising Senator Hepburn, at considerable
length upheld the tariff policy of the re-
publican party. He declared that the ref.
erence to the tariff in the republican plat
form was inserted merely with the end in
view of having the tariff law looked over
to see that it was all right.

THE truth is that this legislation is de-

compete with American beet sugars, and
l have a circular signed by Mr.. Bass adj

1T is the beet sugar producers, who can
not make raw sugar and are compelled to
sell their refined sugars, who would be
the chief sufferers if this feature of the
sugar schedule were eliminated. A
My own impression is that the sugar
trust cares nothing about this feature,
although the prejudices against this cor

removal of the Dutch standard which, II
accomplished, would be the most serious
