Lumber Industry Used
 As SeeSa1V Ifl Se101e

Washington, May 24.-No single piece of lumber was ever used more effect ually as a see-saw by children than was the great lumber industry today by the United States Senate. The lumber sched- ule of the tariff bill was under consid- eration almost the entire day with Sen ators Root, Hepburn, Borah and Deliver contending on the one hand for pro- tection for the industry. and Senator's Clapp, Burkett and McCumber arguing as strenuously against that policy The day closed with more than a two-thirds vote against Senator McCumber's free lumber amendment, the ballot showing 25 for and 56 against
 The surprise of the day was the atti- tude of senatof Deliver. who Heretofore has stood with the ''progressives" throughout the present tariff fight. He today took positive position against the radical demand for free lumber, but ex- pressed the opinion that the industry would not suffer from a reduction of the Dingley rates.
 Senator Root opened the days pro- ceedings with close argument in favor of a dfferential on dressed lumber. Sen ators Borah and Hepburn of Idaho con tended for the highest duty on lumber
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-05-25

and MT. Borah entered upon an argu- ment to show that the policy of protsc- ton is a system and cannot be main tained if there are to be constant eX- captions to it as there would be in the instance of free lumber. On the other hand, Senators Clapp and Burkett ar gued that lumber can be produced as cheaply in Canada as in the United States and contended that the lumber industry of this country would not be endangered by the free admission of the Canadian product. Incidentally, Senator Clapp paid a glowing tribute to the Canadian gov ernment saying that it was equal to the best.
 During the day Senator Hepburn spoke of the republican platform of the last campaign in a way that brought down some criticisms on his head and Senator Bailey declared that he did not propose to be bound by the platform adopted by the democrats at Denver.
 MT. Bailey made a speech of some length towards the close of the session in which he expressed the opinion that the enactment of the pending tariff bill would see the disintegration of the re- publican party
 Early in the day Senator Owen made a sharp attack upon the present tariff on sugar, saying that 1t led to frauds by a trust" and still earlier Senator Aldrich introduced a resolution providing for an investigation of the expenditures of the various executive departments.

PRESIDENT TAFT
 CUTS WAR BUDGET

Washington, May 24.-President Taft sent back to the war department the estimates submitted to him for the sup port of the military establishment for the fiscal year 1911, and indicated his desire that they should be cut approx imately $36,000,000.
 The estimates were prepared during Secretary Dickinsons visit to Panama and carefully scrutinized by Acting Sec retary Oliver, who reduced them $171,- $50. 900; $1S,o00,00O less than the es- inmates for 1910, but about $16 900, 900 more than the appropriations for that year.
 When MT. Taft saw the figures he expressed his wish that they be $20,- 900 900 less than the appropriation for 1910.
 Assistant Secretary Oliver has suc- ceeded in reducing the figures by $1S,- OO0. .000-half the amount asked for by the President and they have now been submitted to Secretary Dickinson for final consideration.
 If he reduces them to the extent the President wants them cut, it will fn- yolve a still further cut. of about $1S,- OOO, 900.
 The totals do not include expenses on account of the Panama canal, nor the permanent annual appropriations.
 Army officers say the reduction in estimates, if persisted in by the Presi- dent means practically no construction work for the army during 1911.

MORE YOUNG MEN
 NEEDED TO PREACH

Denver, May 24.-"Grace is not usually said over champagne and lobster a Ia Newburg.
 Family altars are not raised over Persian rugs.
 Students for the ministry do not. as a rule, get their early training by run ming steam yachts"
 These remarks, by pr. Joseph w. Cochran, secretary of the Presbyterian board of education, caused great interest in the Presbyterian general assembly to- day.
 Dr. Cochran spoke on the report of the board of education, which deplored the lack of recruits for the ministry. The report was read by Dr. Edgar P. Hill of Chicago, who stirred the assembly by his description of the ignorance among immigrants, due, he said, to the fact that no Protestant denomination. and surely not the Presbyterian, has taken the trouble to stir up a sufficient number of ministerial recruits to work among the people
 why can't we get the young men to preach?" asked Dr. Cochran.
 'Tll tell you. In the first place there is but little Christianity In the home. If there is any it is gone by the time the young man Is ready for education.
 'sDoes he go for his education to a Christian school Presbyterian school? No, he goes to a Goddess state university and when he returns to his home town he puts religion at low ebb.'
 Lack of funds was told by the Amer ioan Tract society and the Board of Freed men fin their annual reports.

or Strike
 May Be Accomplished
 By Charles P. NeiU

Atlanta. May 4-Hope for settlement of the strike of the firemen of the Geor- gia railroad tonight centers on the visit here tomorrow of United States Commis- sioner of Labor Charles P Neill, who is coming from Washington.
 Governor Smith today proposed arbitra- ton by commission of Georgians, and the firemen accepted, but the railroad did not. Manager Scott of the Georgia railroad informed Governor Smith, how ever. that he would be here tomorrow to confer with MT. Neill.
 The danger that the strike, if prolonged, may spread to other railroads became serious today when Vice President Ball of the f1remen's organization said that the diversion of the Georgia railroad 8 freight business to other roads will cause the firemen of those roads to vote on whether or not they will accept diverted freight It was reported here today that about 100 cars of Georgia railroad freight had been diverted to other lines. Mails and passengers usually carried by the Georgia went by other railroads and in a few instances automobile service was resorted to. Preparations are under way by postoffice authorities to establish an automobile mall service between Union Point and Athens, Ga.
 Conflicting reports as to why no trains ran today were spread here. Several of the Georgia railroad engineers are re- ported by strikers to be willing to take their trains out in the day time, although refusing at night because of the hazard of being stoned after dark. The strikers

ELMER DOVER WILL.
 NOT GET THE JOB

Washington, May 24.-Elmer Dover, the former secretary of the republican com mittee, whose appointment as national bank examiner at New York has been held up by the comptroller of the curren- cy will be offered, it is said, a similar post in some other district.
 When 1t was announced that Mir. Dover would receive the appointment at New York there were a number of protests made to the President to the effect that a position paying Sl2,O0O year was too high a reward for MT. Dover, who, it was asserted, was opposed to MT Taft's nom- ination up to the very last moment, and was replaced on the national committee because of this antagonistic attitude to the candidate
 MT Taft has agreed to the appointment as favor to some of MT. Dovers friends, but he was somewhat taken aback by the facts as to the emoluments of the na- tiona1 bank examiner at New York-a post which now probably will be offered to some one more closely identified with MT. Tafts interests than was MT Dover

NEGRO MURDERER
 MAY BE LYNCHED

Lima, O., May 24.-Rumors that a mob was forming with the intention of lynch ing John W. Beam, the negro attorney under arrest here on the charge of mur- derng Mrs Maud Diltz Sunday night, caused Sheriff Van Gunten to remove his prisoner. from the city hospital to the county jail, tonight. En route to the jail the prisoner was taken past the house in which the body of Mrs. Diltz lies
 Beam is now in the strongest cell in the jail and a strong guard is being main tained about him. Electric lights have been hung around the prisoners cell so that no one can approach without being seen Officers on guard have been in- structed to fire upon the first person who attempts any violence.
 Residents of Waynesfield, the former home of Mrs. Diltz. are said to be great ly excited over the murder.
 One report received by the shcliff is that the murdered womans grandfather has threatened to avenge the murder and hundreds of his friends have expressed their willingness to aid in storming the jail and lynchins Beam.

 Beam's wife Is a white woman and this aided in infuriating the residents against him. Physicians say the self-inlcted wounds of Beam will not prove fatal.
 Vernon Diltz, brother of the murdered woman, told the police tonight that Beam threatened to kill Mrs. Diltz last Fri day. Mrs. Diltz told her brother she promised Beam she would be friendly with him if he would spare her life and thus she escaped death.

 INCOME TAX WITH STRING

 ment on this schedule and some of those who have supported the finance committee up to this time will be &C., lively opposed to the proposed duty of $1 50 per 1000 on rough lumber. On the other hand many democrats will come to the assistance of the committee and as usual MT. Aldrich is expected to have a safe majority to carry through the schedule
 Two important para graphs in the metal schedule were passed and may not be taken up for some time one of them provides for duty of S2 5o ton on pig iron and scrap iron and the other relates to zinc Although the finance committee reported an amend ment for a sliding scale for duties on zinc, neither the shelter men nor the ore producers are thoroughly satisned with the provision. It is understood that an effort will be made to compose the differences between these two inter- ests and that the zinc question may be one of the last decided.

WESTERN STATES WANT
 THE TARIFF REDUCED

"The present bill as it is considered in Minnesota added the governor, ''ls widely divergent from the pledges of the party and the people hope that as finally adopted it will more nearly meet the views expressed in the last convention as interpreted by President Taft; that is to say, a revision downward. There seems to be a general apprehension that the protective policy would be seriously en- dangered by failure to carry out the pledges of the party. The passage of the Aldrich bill in Its present form will prob- ably result not only in the loss 10
