Saturday Warmest May Day On Record
 Says MT. Jennings
Gives Interesting. Figures of April Weather Including Sub- stantiaI Results of April
 Showers

Weather Observer William Jennings, who has records of the meteorological conditions of this city and vicinity covering the last Al years. can't find a single day in May in his records to show a, higher temperature than was recorded on Saturday, last, when the mercury scared to 92 degrees.
 There are two days that show an equally high temperature, but none higher. These were May 15, 1900 and May Is, 1903. In New Haven there is a May day on record with a tempera- date MT. Jennings believes corresponds to one of the two extremely warm days appearing in his records
 MT. Jennings says that April, just passed, was notable for two things. the unusually high average tempera- ture, and the large amount of rainfall. The warmest day in April was the 18th when 80 degrees was recorded. The co1dest day was April 10, when the therm ometer dropped to 2S, four de- grees below the freezing point. The mean temperature for the month was 51 degrees, while the normal tempera- ture covering 41 years is 46.4. April 22 was notable for the variation in temperature, the range being B de- grees, while April 16 showed the least range 8 degrees.
 The total rainfall for the month was 536 inches. April 28 showed the great est downpour when within A hours there was a total precipitation of 1.53 inches The excess of rain above the average April fall was 1+66 inches
 In connection with the recent hot wave MT. Jennings points out that the absolute maximum shown in his records was April Is, 1896, when the temperature was S9. The coldest April day in his records shows 16 above zero.
 MT. Jennings found the highest baro- metric pressure for the month at a m. on the 10th, 30.55 The lowest 29.54 was a. m. April 28.

Sacramento, Cal, May 5-Very often the camera tells a better story than words. When Secretary of State Bryan arrived here and was met by Governor Johnson to confer over the anti-a1ien land bills at the request of President Wilson the two distfn- guished men sat together in an au- %omobi1e on the way to the Governors s office and exchanged pleasantries. It was a cordial meeting and everything was delightful before the conference. After the California Senate had passed tht Webb bill, which was not what President Wilson or Secretary Bryan wanted, the camera caught another picture of the same distinguished men riding in the auto to the station. Do you notice any difference?

enough and with patience to get at the facts they would have rendered Justice instead of giving the columns of figures they have. The fact is that the workers are suffering. And, gen tlemen, you will remember that the agriculturist who owns a place nearest the city has the most valuable farm. The one nearest the market has the most valuable possession. When you injure the market you are injuring yourself, and you cannot by any sort of reasoning afford to do that
 Mir. Johnson of Washington:-'eW the gentleman from Connecticut yield for a questfon?''
 Congressman Donovan:-"Just a minute. I am lucky to be talking daughter) In these days of ciViliza- tion, in this day of fair play I think we have an opportunity to say a word for the poor man who ought to get from the Democratic party. if no where else, what he is justly entitled to.
 ''Now let me say that no man goes in the market for a hat who does not get one at $50, $2, $2.5o, or s. If we are going to Top off 10 cents per hat is it going to be possible for the consumer to buy hats for $1.40, $1.90, $40 and $2.9O? No. This sum is go- ing to be taken from the American halter and instead of giving 1t to the consumer the rniddIeman is going to put it in his pocket. Now I am go- ing to give the words of an unbiased man. I believe that we will be fulfill ing the words Love thy neighbor as thyseH.' if we give this labor to our own people instead of to the matters of England and Italy, (App1ause.) MT. Underwood responded to MT. Donovan as follows:
 MT Chairman, the gentleman from Connecticut is right when he says that am not in favor of destroying any legitimate industry. But I do not think that the gentleman from Con necticut has much of a case in this instance. The statistics show that the production in this country of goods embraced under this para graph, ac- cording to the census of 1910, was $46, ,952, 600 and the imports for the year 1912 amounted to $875,000. It is readily seen that the amount Of imports, as compared with the American con sumption, is less than 2 per cent un- der the existing rate of 51 per cent. ad valorem. The rate is @ specific one and the equivalent tax is 51 per cent ad valorem. The imports are less than per cent of the consumption. Now the Democratic party stands for a competitive tax. They have reduc- ed the rate from 51 to 40 per cent. The treasury expert made up these figures in this Handbook, made them up without my supervision. He estima teS that the increased imports upon this reduction of duty will amount to $125,- GOO or about one-Quarter of one per cent Now even if the imports were doubled, that would only make them
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-05-05

about per cent of the American con sumption. Gentlemen who stand for protection can very readily say: We do not want anything to come in.' The gentlemen on this side of the House who stand for a revenue tariff and competitive tariff. certainly cannot complain if the imports, as com pared to American consumption, were increased to a total of 4 per cent, being less than ? per cent now. As l say, the estimate of the Treasury expert indicates that the increased inn ports will not amount to more than one quarter of per cent. This shows clearly that, so far as this particular item is concerned, the committee cer- tain1y have not been drastic in their action. The only thing that I can say is that the gentlemen who are inter ested in this hat industry have been the most persistent, continual, insis- tent advocates Of maintaining a prof1i- bitiVe tariff tax in their trade that ever appeared before the Ways & Means committee of this house.
 When MT. Underwood had finished letter he had received as follows: :: Imagine, if you will, the distressing predicament of the worknaen in Dan bury. Usually he is a, man of family, a skilled mechanic with years of train ing. He has perhaps saved enough
  life, he finds his trade disappearing in this country.
 t'He cannot seek other employment because Danbury is city whose 25,000 inhabitants are absolutely dependent on hat manufacturing, there being no other industry in the town. He is averse to abandon the house he has purchased. He is not earning enough to provide the absolute necessities for his family-cannot sell his house, be- cause trade depression has depressed property values in the town, and is hardly able to make payments, and meet taxes upon his home. His bank balance is depleted and rapidly becom- ing exhausted-his savings of a life time are threatened.
 With conditions no better than stated, the hat manufacturers are making every effoEt to work out their own salvation, under the most heart breaking conditions, and they do not ask the aid of the government in the form of additional tariff protection They do request however, in the fight they are making to recover their lost business that the government shall not impose a further handicap and bur den in the form of a reduced tariff that will invite an influx Of foreign made fur felt hats.''
