WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Stubborn
opposition to free raw wool and the
radical reductions in wooden manu-.
features proposed In the democratic
tariff was conducted by republicans
of the senate ell day. Senators War
rem Of Wyoming and Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, addressed the senate for
elk hours, the former char acterizing
the proposed bill 90 "tari6 for politics
only, instead of for revenue" only and
the latter asserting that the WOODEN
schedule as prepared by the majority

for Europe"
In the midst of the days discussion,
Sen ator LaFollete Of Wisconsin intro.
duced the third minority substitute for
the woolen schedule, the others having
been proposed by Senators Penrose
and Smoot. The wide divergence OF
the minority views on the subject of
wool, demonstr ated Ia this tr,um ' ir ate
OF measures, was pleasing to demo-
cratic leaders, who confidently as-
serted that they not need to talk, be.

Senator LaFollette's proposal was
distinguished chiefly by its rate OF Is

con insisted upon free raw wool. The
LsFollette measure also proposed
that second grade raw woods be free,
and would provide ad valorem instead
of specific rates, though contrary to
the recommend ations of the tariff
board and the views of his republican
colleagues.

He will accept the bill introduced by

the state schools, and institutions

and House to do little today except to
put through the appropriations bills.
Fate of This Bill.
The specific bill which passed the
house some time ago was TO be put
through the senate first. Then the
regular appropriations bill IN which
the House made number of salary In
creases and in which the senate made
a lot more. was passed by the House
several weeks ago and the Senate also
passed 1t with its amendments. The
House refused to agree to the In
creases made by the Senate and a con-
ference committee was appointed. This
committee failed to agree and new
members were chosen These members
said this morning that they thought
they would be able to agree on the
provisions of the bill during the day.
1t was understood that they would
knock out practically all of the salary
boosts made by the senate and some
that were put in by the house. The
salary boost for the supreme and ap-
penate judges was to be eliminated
The boost for James H. Fry. state oil
Inspector which was the pet salary
boost of Senator Fleming, was expect
ed to remain in the bill.

WANT
BETTER
SERVICE

Efforts to establish a more direct
mail service between Gary and Crown
Point are being made by Postmaster
Charles Daugherty of the hub and
Postmaster John Call of Gary. They
want the postmastergenera to pro-
vide for carrier to take the mail back
and forth between Gary and the county
seat. Owing to the round-abou way
the mail is sent Gary and Crown Point
mail usually takes more than a day for
delivery
The idea is good one and 1t has
been suggested that Hammond and
East Chicago could make an effective
carrier interchange with other points.

The Gary Land Company today with
Broadway from the market until

made
1t is not known at this time what the
advance in the price will be. The
previous advance took place last
August and averaged from 10 to 1o
per cent. The present increase. IT is
said, will affect the lots in the second
subdivision chiefly The rise will have
tendency to stimulate the sale of all
lots on the west side and there is no
doubt that within a month after the
lots again go on the market there will
be but few residence lots on the west
side remaining.
