CONTROVERSY BY
 MINE WORKERS

Indianapolis, January 25.-A controversy that cost the United Mine Workers of America S10000, or about what 5000 coal miners can earn in a day, ended in the convention of that organization tonight with a ballot to determine whether or not the delegates from nine local unions in the central Pennsylvania district should be seated. It is estimated the expense of the convention Is y7500 day, and a day and a half was devoted to debate and vot- ing on the question The decision will be announced in the convention tomorrow.
 The seating of the delegates was con- tested by the district officials President Thomas l.. Lewis and the credentials committee maintained that the delegates were in good standing with the national organization and should have seats in the convention. The anti-Lewis faction led the opposition on the ground that the nine unions had refused to pay an assess ment levied by the district administra- tion President Lewis held that the as- sessment was unconstitutional
 An aye and no vote was reached late today and resulted in 524 against seating the delegates to 431 in their favor. A roll call was demanded by the apparently defeated Lewis party in the hope that in- asrnuch as many of the delegates carry more than one vote. the roll call by nu- merical representation would reverse the result of the vote by individual delegates The roll call occupied four hours.

GERMAN TARIFF
 ROW IS CRITICAL

washington, January 25.-Alarmed by the critical turn in the tariff contro- versy between the United States and Germany, appeals from the chambers of commerce and boards of trade of several cities were made to the National Board of Trade, in session here, today, urging that body to recommend to the govern ment that the state department recede from It's position that American beef and cattle must be admitted to Cermany, 1T otherwise the trade between the two na- tions representing $3So,O0000o a year to American business houses is to be sub jected to the effects of tarih war.
 Resolutions presented to the National body maintain there can be no advan- tage in insisting on a German market for American beef because of home con- sumption is increasing at such rate as to soon command all the supply and in support of this 1t is cite,. that Amer ican cattle exports have decreased by the millions.
 It is pointed out that the agrarian party in control of the reichstag has stood for the principle that the farmers of Germany must supply its beef, and that the imperial government could not admit the American product if it would.
 A commission to settle the dispute is suggested and President La Lanne of the National Board of Trade sounding the note of alarm in his annual address, spoke of the condition as most grave. The last negotiations by the state de- partment leave the next move up to Ger many.

TWO SCHEDULES
 TO BE SUBMITTED

Pittsburg. January 25.-Two sched- for a 1ss-game playing season will be submitted to the National league in New York next month. This was settled by the schedule committee tonight, all though it's labors have not been con- cluded. Another session will be held There were many members of the schedule committee leaving for their homes tonight. The protracted session of the schedule committee is caused by the arduous work of dovetailing the 16s with the American leagues 154 games schedule so as to avoid conflict ing dates. Then, too, another arrange ment of dates on the basis of 154-
 game schedule for both is being pre- pared. so that whichever Is adopted can
 be put into immediate effect. The decision to present the two schedules to the National league was reached on a business basis, arguments for each side being recognized on their merits.
 The shorter schedule was presented somewhat as a minority report to tn @ 1 league, while the longer schedule was | drawn by Chairman Ebbetts as he was
 instructed by the club managers of the l league.
 1 Official scorers entered strong pro- | tests against the wild pitch and passed ball ruling under the revised rules, and | the committee met today and rescind- | ed it.
 It was pointed ont that the battery l men handled the ball scores of times
 more than other players on the team
 without getting any credit for perfect
 work, and that it would be unjust to
 charge them with fielding errors for occasional slips.

TWO CONGRESSMEN
 IN ACRID DEBATE

Washington, January 25.-Declaring that James A. Patten, secretary of the immigration restriction league, had told a wicked, cruel, deliberate and malicious lie when he gave Representative Macon of Arkansas the information on which the latter based his speech yesterday, Representative Bennett of New York made a vigorous defense of the much maligned immigration committee in the House today.
 '"The statements of the gentleman from Arkansas require an instant, full and complete retraction,' shouted MT. Ben- nett after he had explained in detail the work of the commission, it's trip abroad in 1907, which MT. Macon termed "a junket,' and the results it had &C., complished. MT. Macon met MT. Ben nett's demands with sharp replies.
 q am not going to accept what the gentleman from New York has said to this House as gospel" exclaimed MT. Macon Tt is question of veracity and one of these gentlemen has as much credenee on the part of this House as the other until one or the other shows himself liar and the other shows him. self to be a saint-and the gentleman from New York is not Q saint
 Mir Macon admitted that MT. ,Patten was his informant following a statement by Mr. Bennett that he believed he had given the member from Arkansas the in formation.
 Mr. Macon explained that MT. Patten was a son-in-law of a deceased member of the commission and was in position to know.
 q am not here to take back any part of my statement that the trip abroad was a junket, as I understand Jun ket," exclaimed MT. Macon.
 Thus the incident was closed without MT. Macon having receded from his po- sition but not until after MT. Mann Of Illinois had blocked unanimous consent to Mir Macons request for permission to revise his remarks in the record MT. Macon explained that he merely wanted to correct the bad English" but MT. Mann retorted that it was unnecessary to obtain consent for that and that both parties to the controversy would have to go on record for what they had said.
