Lumber Affected

st. Louis. April S.--The removal of the
tariff ON lumber will result in a reduc-
ton of prices, according to f. II. Smith,
president of the ST. Louis Lumbermen' $
exchange.
Free lumber" he said, will operate
to restrict the territory to which Ameri-
can producers can ship and consequently
will increase the difficulty of working
off the common grades which represent
10 ner cent of the output The removal
Of the duty will enable Canadians to put
their lumber into the hands of boxmakers
and all users of common lumber in the
north and east cheaper than can the mill
men of the south,
an time an adjustment VIII be brought
about by diminished shipments from the
mills. The lumbermen will hold back the
low grades until the prices come up
again.

Increase Retail Prices

Montreal, April S.-Retail prices on
many products in Canada will be in
creased, but trade generally will receive
an impetus If the democratic tariff revi-
sion measure, reducing the rates on many
things which can add exports to the
United States and removing entirely the
duty on many others, is possible, accord
ing to opinions expressed today by Mon
treal business men, by lumber dealers.
pulp men, fish exporters. produce dealers
and cattlemen and others.
An increase in prices for lumber is pre-
dicted If the bill is passed, also a stimu-
lation of Canadian pulp manufacture and
renewed activity of the fishing industry
In the maritime provinces. 1t is believed
that wooden manufacture also will benefit
while vegetable exports particularly po-
tatoes, should increase. 1t also Is be-
lieyed that increased demands should
come from the United States for apples,
milk and cream, although butter will not
be so much affected, as free milk and
cream will permit Americans to make
their own butter.
Placing meats on the free list with a
duty on cattle, Canadian packers believe
will result in Canadian competition with
American packers.

To Consider Programme


The democratic majority of the House
committee on ways and means will meet
tomorrow to consider a tariff programme
to be recommended to the caucus.
1t was learned today that the republi-
cans of the committee in their minority
report, to be submitted when the COM
mttee reports the tariff bill, will declare
that the democratic measure is restro-
gressive and appears to be unanimously
approved abroad; that some of-the rates
In the bill provide incidental protection
instead of being solely for revenue pur-
poses and will attack the change of the
present rates to an ad valorem basis as
being in conflict with the experience of
all the great countries of the world ex-
cept one. They will insist that the new
bill would reverse the government whole
policy; that the Payne-Aldrich law now
In operation can raise all the revenue
needed to meet government demands;
that the democratic plan would involve
a deficit of 1O0,000,0O0 that would have to
be met by war time taxation methods
and that without the present maximum
and minimum clause it would not be pos
sible for President Wilson to get tariff
concessions from foreign countries.

TRANSATLANTIC TELEPHONE.
No Communication Yet Between Ger
many and America.

Berlin, Dec. Glowing to a misln-
depreciation of the speech made by Ad-
miral Emsmann at the annual meeting
Of Shipbuilding Technicians news has
transpired that an exchange OF wire
less telephone messages had taken
place between Germany and America
by means of the Goldschmidt system.
This misrepresentation the Admiral has
| made haste TO correct.
The admiral, in commenting on the
reported wireless telephone commune
cation between Nauen, near Berlin,
and the German warships in the Allan
tic, said that before long Atlantic liners
must be provided with a telephone eX-
I change allowing through communica-
ton to any telephone subscriber in
| Berlin, Paris, and London with pas
] sengers in mid-ocean.
He said that the first Goldschmidt
| station in Hanover is now able to have
. constant communication in broad day
| light. even when the midday sun is
above the mid Atlantic, with the Gold
schmidt station in New Jersey. He then
explained that this was possible
through the employment of new in
strumcnt giving the sound of each tap
of the Morse receiver fully in "a must
cal note.
Hitherto daylight communication
had been almost impossible, owing to
aerial storms, which mixed with tho
sound of each message as received Hike
the sound of machine gun fire with the
| sound of field artillery. making 1t eN-
cccdingly difficult to read a message.
Herr Goldschmidt has now discoV-
cred a musical note which has wealth
cred those storms perfectly. with the
result that Il message in English was
transmitted faultlessly "A few days ago
al two in the afternoon U5crlin time
which meant mid day in mid-Atlan-
| tic).
| II was Admiral Emsmann's illustra-
| ton by means of a whistle of how tn,
sound was received by the Goldschmidt
system which probably led to the raise
belief that the message had been teie-
phonically transmitted.
From inquiries made in wireless cir
clcs il is understood that the Marcon
company has been carrying out eN-
| periments in ong-distance wireless
| telephony with IA high frequency trans
mitter similar to the Goidschmidt ma

MAY SOLVE CONTROVERSY.
Japanese Pastor Coming to Appeal
California Land Act,

Toxic. Dec. Enthusiasm and
faith in the success of his mission
fill the Rev. Kakichi Tsunashima. a
Japanese pastor in The Congregational
church. who has been commissioned
by his church to go to the United
States and endeavor to help solve the
California land question. His chief
activity will be in making an appeal
TO Americans as Christians. lie eX-
poets to sail for America Dec. 81 on
the steamer Chiyo Maru.
Mr.. Tsunashima reasons that true
righteousness and civilization will IN
due course of time be appreciated. He
thinks that the question Of Japanese
land ownership in California is too big
a problem to be settled in a short
time. and that it does not admit of a
temporary solution. He will try to
solve it ON the broad basis of universal
love and Christian brotherhood.
In fulfilling his mission Mr. Tsuna-
shima expects to visit churches, pas
tors associations. and other Christian
organizations, and to write and preach
his thoughts and ideals as opportun-
.ty offers. He says there may be
faults and shortcomings on the part
of the Japanese. but by his proposed
undertaking he believes he can per
suadc his countrymcn to better
mode of life.
