bate the latter part of this week.

of discussion. Difference of opinion
exists on the reduction Of the exemption
to 5000. with additional exemptions
for children and for married men or

Seeking AmaIgamation.

Denial of statements that the Pro-
gressive party national committeeman
in New Jersey and Maryland have re-
signed as alleged in some quarters, has
been issued from the Progressive party
headquarters in Washington. In this
connection the publicity bureau of the
Bull Moose headquarters has issued its
version of the deposing of Col. Edward
C. Darlington. jr-, as, Progressive ma
tional coniitteeman in Maryland.
The statement regarding Colonel Car
rington is, in part. as follows:
.'The Progressives of Maryland have
recalled Col. Edward c. Carringten, jr.,
their national committeeman, because OF
his activities in negotiating with John
B. Hanna, the Republican State chair
man; Senator William P. Jackson. Gov
ernor Goldsborough, and other Repub-
Ican leaders of the State. for an ANAL
gamation of the Republican and Pro
gressive parties in Maryland. This is
the final and decisive answer of, the
Maryland Prosressives to the ANAL
gamation proposition. EH
Colonel Darlington was the only
member of the Progressive organization
In the whole United States who ever
took the analgamtion proposition serf-
ously. All the Progressive leaders OF
Maryland with the exception of Caring

inittee In transferring raw hemp, fiax
and jute to the free list was approved
without discussion. No change was
made In the paper schedule. The duty
on oil paintings was raised from Is
to g per cent.
Senator Ashurst's efforts to put on
the fire list woolen goods of general

his motion down. there is little doubt
the subject will be threshed over
further when the bill is reported to
