MOVE BEATEN FOR
FREE WOOL GOODS
Clothing Duty Under New Tariff
Schedule Will Be From 20 to
35 Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The
question of dutiable wool manufac-
lures in the tariff bill was raised in
the Senate Democratic caucus to-day
and brought a lengthy debate. Sena-
tor Chamberlain, of oregon, favored
the free listing of these commodities,
arguing this was only fair to the
public and the manufacturers with
raw wool on the free list.
The goods affected are stockings.
socks and blankets, women's and chill
dren's dress goods, ready made CLOTH
ing and other articles of wearing ap-
parel. Ad valorem rates, ranging
from 20 per cent on stockings to IS per
cent on ready made clothing are in
the bill as reported to the caucus.
At the recess of the caucus Sena-
tor Simmons announced that the
proposition to free list wool manufaC-
lures was beaten by a close vote.
I'VE expect to finish the hemp silk,
paper and sundries schedules to-
night" said Senator Simmons, and

Are Ready for Ceremony.

ATCHISON, KANS., June 2S.-Al-
though both parties to a $25. 900
breach of marriage contract suit filed

wed. the suit will go on.
Miss Mary Falk, OF Purcell, alleges
that she entered into a verbal con-
tract to marry william Burke. of
Troy. a few months ago
Church officers say they will not
marry Burke because he is unable 10
procure a sworn statement from his
mother in Ireland certifying to the
time of his baptism in the Catholic
Church. Burke says he will marry
Miss Mary Falk any time, and, in her
petition for the suit Miss Falk says
she is still willing to marry Burke.
But as priest will not marry
them, as both are unwilling to for
sake their religion, Miss Falk says
she can not consistently dismiss the
suit, although she stu loves Burke.
Miss Falk's petition alleges that
Burke is wealthy.
