that ives consecrated. f.
The largest and most distinguish
ed procession ever assembled in an
Episcopal church in this country was
seen at the opening service. Among
those who participated in the cere-
monies were rs bishops, 400 other
clergymen and the delegates to the
diocese convention. Among promi-
nent laymen who attended the exer-
cises were Mrs. William H. Taft, and
Governor and Mrs. Dix. President
Taft could not arrange to be present.
Among the bishops who took part
in the ceremonies were: Warrell OF
Nova Scotia, Olmsted of central New
York. Millspaugh of Kansas, Vincent
of southern Ohio, Lyons OF Newark,
Burgess of Long Island, Harding OF
Washington, Mackay-Smith OF Ph1la-

Much of the structure thrown open
for use today Is temporary. Parts con.
secrated are the permanent ones only.
These are the choir, although that is
not yet wholly complete, for much OF
the interior marble lining is not in;
and two of the chapels, both perma-
nent, the one erected by August Bel
mont, which is the middle one, and is
known as St. Saviour's chapel, and the
one given by Mrs Edward King. i'm
mediately adjoining and known as the
Chapel of St. Columbia The other
five chapels are not yet finished.
The cost of the cathedral to date
has been between 100000 and 3d.
100000. Some money has been set
aside for endowment, and there is no
debt. 1t is expected that the COM
pleted structure will cost a total of
$15,0O0,000. So elaborate and colos-
sal are the plans for the edifice that
more than one notable feat of en-
cheering had to be performed and
others are yet to be solved One un-
precedented achievement was the
placing of the keystone in the central
dome. the largest all-granite dome in
the world. without the use of scaffold-
ing or false work.

BILL AIDS CONSUMER
MAJORITY REPORT TO CONGRESS
SHOWS FREE LIST WOULD RE.
DUcE TARIFF $10,016,495.
PRESENT PRICES TOO HIGH
Reciprocity Not Enough to Lift Bur-
den From the Farmers-Former
Speaker Cannon in Speech Attacks
Canadian Pact.

Washington.-Chairm Underwood
of the ways and means committee sub
mitted to the house the majority re-
port of that body on the, so-called
farmers free list bill. The report Is
an analysis of the proposed duty ex'
emptions and Democratic political
argument.
The report shows that the dill
would reduce the tariff revenue $l0,-
016,495, based on importations for the
last fiscal year, an amount described
as Uncomfortable in comparison with
the great saving and advantages to
all of our people from the additions to
the free list provided"
Quoting President Taft's recent Ca
madam reciprocity speeches, the re-
port seeks to convey the impression
that the administration is convinced
that protective tariff rates are too high.
"In several public addresses" 1t
says, "the president has admitted that
tariff rates are too high, that such
rates have resulted in excessively high
prices. especially in the increased cost
Of living, which now bears heavily on
our people, and that they have not
received the long promised benefits Of
domestic competition under high pro-
tective duties"
Again the report declares: "The Ca
madam reciprocity agreement now be-
fore the house is recognition on the
part of the administration Of the in
furious effects of the extreme protec-
tive policy which has SO long been
imposed upon the country, and is an
effort to mitigate it's effects"
The reciprocity agreement the com.
mittee asserts, cannot afford the
American people all the needed relief
from high prices. Action on the
agreement involves the necessity of
further and immediate action in re-
moving a number Of duties on imports
from other countries in order that
justice may be done to the great army
Of agricultural producers who, in the
Canadian agreement, are to have all
the alleged protection removed from
their products without correspond
ing or reciprocal removal of the pro-
tective duties on the commodities
they must purchase to sustain their
lives and industries"
Former Speaker Cannon vigorously
in a speech attacked Canadian recip.
rocity
Aided by large map of the United
States and Canada. he played the role
of schoolmaster to a crowded floor
and filled galleries. Mr.. Cannon as.
sailed the proposed agreement as dan.
gerous to American trade, inimical
to the best interests of American
farmers and certain to result in
depreciation of American farm lands.
Not since the war with Spain and
all that followed it has there been
considered by the house of represent
atives SO important a bill as the one
now pending" he declared "On the
action of the house rests the we'll be-
ing and the prosperity Of all the peo-
pie Of the United States. Is 1t proper
on slight consideration to vitalize
into law an agreemen that affects the
prosperity of every home in the land?"
