and tore down an unsightly FENCE
which formerly enclosed a wagon yard
between Tenth and Eleventh and NO

old lumber to his home, and as re-
suit he has stirred up somewhat OF

Washington, May 12.-Taft and
the insurgents will fight the Republic
can regulars. That is the latest sit
uation in a congress that has devel-
opeG some oSher sensations. The
new lineup came today when the
sundry civil appropriation bill was
brought up for debate in the house,
and the fight will be over the clause
providing for an appropriation of
$25O,0O0 to enable the new tariff
board to ascertain the difference in
the cost of production at home and
abroad.
Regulars like Payne, Dalzell and
Tordney, who have stood with the
Organization" through everything,
are now against the clause that has
the backing of the president and the
insurgents. 1t is expected that a
spectacular clash will follow.
Payne and the other regulars. who
fought hardest for the tariff bill, are
against the appropriation for the tar
if board, believing that it will result
in a revision of the tariff within two
years. Further, they believe the plan
is nothing less than Senator Bever-
idge's old tariff commission idea,
which the regulars in the senate
have fought persistently.
Part of the regulars in the house,
headed by Tawney, are supporting the
clause, and will fight with the insur-
gents for the appropriation. The
Democrats, it is expected, will join
Payne, Dalzell and his followers in
the fight against the tariff board as
a distinctively protective idea.
The idea of providing an appropri-
alton for the tariff board is credited
to the president. It was believed by
the administration that the meas
ure would serve to unite the party,
and that 1t would prove good cam
paign material in the coming con-
gressional elections.
Instead of uniting the party, the
measure was inclined to form a new
branch that will result in some pecu-
liar affiliations. It is expected that
the fight on the measure will be made
when the house, sitting as a commit
tee Of the whole, comes to this clause
in the civil sundry bill, A point of
order will be made against it, If the
point Is carried, an attempt will be
made to re-insert the clause. II the
regulars lose their fight to have the
clause eliminated on point Of order,
the fight will, in al Likelihood, be
carried forward and may cause long
and heated debate.
