Amendments Arc votdd

ALDRIcH HAS HIS WAY
Rhode Island Senator in Unique
Role Of Opposing Higher
Duties.

Washington, July when Senator
Aldrich today moved for an agreement
by the senate upon all paragraphs OF
the tariff bill which the senators did
not care to reserve for further amend
ment, there was a widespread move
ment to reserve parts of the bill against
which senators desired to make last
stand for a change in the schedules.
1t was explained Oh the adoption OF
the motion that any paragraph not
specifically reserved at this time would
be placed beyond the possibility or
amendment although the entire meas
ure would still be open for amend
ments not affecting the paragraphs
agreed to.
In Toilette Makes Objection.
When it looked as if vote would
Immediately be taken on the unreserv-
ed paragraphs as whole, La Toilette
entered objection, and it looked for q
time as if he might prove a formida
BILE obstacle in Aldrich's pathway
Saying he had had no opportunity to
inspect the reprint of the bill as acted
upon by the senate in committee OF
the whole, he intimated he would not
respect the supposed unanimous con-
sent agreement unless he could be as
sured of an opportunity to present
such amendments as he might desire
to introduce.
Aldrich Agrees to Help.
After somewhat prolonged colloq9Y.
Aldrich agreed to eooperate.-with-a1 IL !.
Toilette in obtaining the opportunity
for the latter to offer such amend
ments as he might desire. La Toilette
reluctantly yielded. Aldrfch's request
for vote on the unreserved para
graphs was then granted and the
amendments were adopted en- bloc
without division Consideration of the
reserved provisions was then entered
upon.
AIdlrich Against High Duties.
When the gypsum provision was
reached Dick of Ohio made quite stir
contending for the house rate as op-
posed to the senate. Responding to
Dicks efforts, Aldrich protested In
sharp tones against efforts at this
stage of the bill to increase duties.
I'VE cannot now," he said, under
take rates to meet the views Of indi-
vidual senators. If we should enter
upon that course we might as well
abandon the BILL
Pass others Rapidly.
Passing along rapidly, all the COM
mittee amendments in the schedules
relating to chemicals, earthenware.
/ metals, lumber, agricultural products.
spirits, cotton, flax, wool, silks. paper
and wood pulp were agreed to.
Aldrich resisted most of the amend
| ments, and all were disposed OF in his
favor by viva voce votes.
BristOw Loses Again.
The first aye and nay vote was on
Bristow's amendment to restore the
Dingley rate on writing paper by re-
ducing the duty. 1t was rejected "a
to 80. An unavailing attempt was
made by Cummins to limit what he
regarded as undue authority given the
president of the board of appraisers In
the work of the board, but the commit

WRIGHT PAID $4,000.
Largest Sum for Exhibition Flights
at Hudson-Fulton Celebration.

NEW YORK, October 15.-Wilbur Wright
received $4,000 from the aeronautics
committee of the Hudson-Fulton commits
sion for his flights over the bay and up
the Hudson river
This Is one of the largest amounts. if
for series of exhibition flights.
William j. Hammer, secretary Of the
aeronautics committee. stated yesterday
that Chairman James NJ. Beck and the
Other members Of the committee felt that
Wilbur Wright was entitled to every cent
Of 1t.
Wright. 1t will be remembered, made
fou,' flights, and was only prevented from
attempting to eclipse his flight up the
Hudson river by the unfortunate blowing
out Of the cylinder head Of his motor.
In comparison to the prompt payment
of Wright's money and the sentiment
Of the committee toward him stands the
refusal of the committee to pay Glenn
II. Curtiss the balance of $500 on his
contract for 5000. Hammer declined to
state whether the payment OF the money
would ultimately be made.
Before leaving far his exhibitions in
the west Curtiss said he had fulfilled the
conditions of his contract and that he
would make a demand for the payment Of
the full amount.
Curtiss. during his week at Governors
Island. made only two flights. each Of
less than minute, but his failure to do
better was caused by adverse weather
conditions. by virtue OF which he says he
was exonerated in the contract.
