New Haven had tried to acquire the
Rutland i'll order to obtain through
line TO Chicago. Duluth and other ports
on the Great Lakes in order that the
New Haven might control the rate sit
nation from New England to Lake
ports and not be dependent upon the
rates charged by connecting lines. The
acquisition had been held up by liti-
cation. but he believed that the New
Haven soon would be permitted to
complete the purchase. In addition to
getting through line from New Eng

said, the New Haven would then be
able &c 10 operate trains all the way
from New. York to Montreal over its

Gated in methods of Rural Hygiene
For some time, DR.. Young has been

BRISK DEBATES.
Continued from Page One.)

The split in the Republican minority
of the ways and means committee on
the question of offering a substitute
for the cotton schedule was evidenced
during the consideration of the cot
ton tariff. Reps. Moore of Pennsyl-
vania and Fordney of Michigan insist
ed that minority substitutes were a
waste of time, but Rep. Gardner of
Massachusetts offered a substitute for
three paragraphs Of the cotton sched-
ule, compromise between the Under
wood and the Payne tariffs.
This was voted down, along with all
other amendments from the Republi-
can side.
Reps. Palmer of Pennsylvania, Peters
of Massachusetts and Kitchin of North
Carolina, for the ways and means COM
mittee, defended the cotton schedule. Mr.
Palmer said that against the 1,5O0, 900, 600
worth of products covered by this sched-
ule. that. are produced in. the United
States, the imports of the same class of
goods aggregated little more than $24,-
600,
Rep. Mann said the Republicans would
offer motion to recommit the bill to the
ways and means committee with direc-
tions to conform to the findings of the
tariff board.
The Gardner amendment, representing
the views of Mr.. Gardner of Massachu-
sets and Mr.. Green of Iowa. of the ways
and means committee minority, was ex-
planned by Mr.. Gardner. The amend
ment offered as a substitute would have
fixed rate ranging from per cent. on
the plainest kind of cotton cloth to Az
per cent. on the very finest weaves.
Before the night session was we'll I'M
derway, the Democrats had voted down
nearly a score of Republican amend
ments and had disposed of the cotton
schedule, With only one schedule. flax.
to be disposed of before wool was
reached, Democratic Leader Underwood
contemplated finishing the much discuss
ed schedule "K', tonight, One wing OF
the Republicans contended fer the Gard
ner-Green substitute for~-the cotton
schedule modelled along the lines of the
Republican substitute offered for the
Underwood bill in the last Congress. Rep
Lenroot of Wisconsin made a vigorous
speech supporting the, amendment declar-
ing 1t was framed in accordance with
the report OF the tariff board. He'assett.
ed that the Underwood bill was a pro-
tected measure so far as its rates and
the low grades of cotton produced in the
South were concerned.
During the debate Rep. Underwood
evoked a storm of applause from the
Democrats by reply to Rep. Farr of
Pennsylvania who had offered an amend
ment restoring the Payne rates on Not
tingham lace curtains. Mr.. Farr made
a plea for the lace curtain industry. de-
caring that it had been practically
wrecked by the last Democratic tariff,
the Wilson bill. had been built up again
under the Payne law and was now
threatened with destruction under the
Underwood bill.
'The gentleman evidently does not
know" said Mr.. Underwood. that the
rate under the Payne law in equivalent
ad valorem is 50 per cent, while the
rate under the Wilson law was so per
cent.
