terday Mr.. Payne Of New York,
chairman of the committee on ways
and means. concluded his speech in
explanation of the tariff bill. He was
on his feet almost all of the five
hours and ten minutes that he had
the floor. At times he gave evidence
of being greatly iatigued and leaned
on his desk, hoping in that way to
get a little rest.
Washington, March 25.-Declaring.

admission by Mr.. Nreeland of New
York that he was to some extent re-
sponsible for the retention of the u
tervailing duty on oil in the Payne
tariff bill, was the climax of the days
discussion of the tariff in the house

some time and heard various insinu-

Standard Oil company. This he denied,
and explained that his action was in
response to requests from thousands OF
his oil producing constituents n in
behalf of 500. 900 others engaged in the
same business. The debate on the oil
schedule called forth some bitter crit
icism of the Standard Oil company by
MI. Kustermann Of Wisconsin and 9TH

The senate was in session only an
hour and fifteen minutes yesterday and
adjourned until next Monday. Practi-
cally all the time except fifteen min

ony of the tariff debate in the house

time yesterday by a clash between
| Nessrs. Fordney of Michigan and
| Byrd of Mississippi, which came near
ending in blows. Mr.. FOrdney had
| been making an exhaustive discussion
of the lumber schedule when he was
interrupted by the Mississippian. who
insisted that the lumber manufacture
ers, of which Mr.. Fordney was one,
were in a trust. Mr.. Fordney peremp-
torily denied the statement and said
| that Mr.. Byrd didn't know a d-n
thing about it."
The Mississippi member made a
move toward Mr.. Fordney and was in
the act of removing his coat when
some of his Democratic colleagues
took hold of him. Later it developed
that the incident grew out of a mis-
understanding and both men made
mutual explanations and apologies.
Mr.. Fordney made a notable speech
on the subject of lumber and pleaded
for better protection on that product

statement quoted.
