Washington, August 22.-Stubborn

COUNSEL OBTAINED
FOR THOMPSON

Counsel has been employed for Thomp-
son by the Thaw family and it was
through their efforts that his arraignment
today as a violator of the Gmgration
laws was postponed until Friday next.
His lawyer is Louis St. Laurent of Que
bee. It was admitted by the chauffeur
that the Thaws'' had retained ST. Lau-
rent and that they expected him (rhomp-
son) to keep his trap shut He added
grimly that he thought they ought to
do more than give him lawyer.
"All they want" he said, lis to keep
my case separate from Thaw's. l wish
i hadn't mixed up in It,"
Thaw had a quarrel with his many at
torneys today. They had warned him to
issue no statements but he insisted on
talking about what he described as an
omission on the part of newspapers in
Canada and the United States in not
printing in full recent statement of his
lawyers quoting Willisu Travers Jerome
as saying Thaw was sane.

Third Substitute

bho OhbStithtC
In the midst of the days discussion.
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin intro
duced the third minority substitute for
the wooden schedule. the others having
been proposed by Senators Penrose and
Smoot. The wide divergence of minor
ity views on the subject of wool demon
strated in this triumvirate Of measures,
was pleasing to democratic leaders, who
confidently asserted that they did not
need to talk because I'VE have the
votes"
Though an effort will be made by
Chairman Simmons of the finance COM
mittee and other majority members to
tomorrow night, the vote may be pro-
longed until next week. Senators Smoot
and LaFollette planning to debate the
measure at length.
Senator LaFollettes proposal was
distinguished chiefly by its fate of Is
per cent ad valorem on first grade raw
wool, a rate originally suggested by
democrats of the House ways and
means committe before President Will
sui lhSlSItd upOn litt raw WOOl. Inc
IaFollette measure also proposed that
second grade raw woods be free and
would provide ad valorem instead of
specific rates throughout. contrary to
the recommendations of the tariff board
and the views of his republicn coll
leagues, Senators Root and Penrose.
British Standpoint
From the British standpoint" said
Senator Penrose of the democratic
wooden schedule, this bill is almost
too good to be believed. 1t actually car
ries many rates of duty much lower
and more favorable to British interests
than the New York importers repre-
senting the foreign manufacturers
dared to ask for"
His own amendment Senator Penrose
believed to be in accordance with the
desires of the great majority of the
American people for protection, while
making considerable reductions from
the existing law. These are real and
substantial reductions" he said "but
it is believed that the rates proposed
will save wool growing and wool man
ufacturing from serious injury
Senator Warren in lengthy analysis
of the wool situation. declared that un-
der the proposed law imemnse sums
would be lost to the producers of wool
without benefit to the sonsumed.
Senator Lsppit of Rhode Island criti-
cised the action of the finance commit
tee majority in reducing the House
rate Of 10 per cent on combed wool or
tops to 5 per cent, rate which re-
publican leaders said today they had
reason to believe would be changed TO
10 per cent when the bill reached con-
lference. The Rhode Island senator as
serted that the domestic cost of con
|yerting raw wool into combed tops was
nearly twice as much as the foreign
cost.
Talk about free WOOL" said Senator
Lippitt. Il have per cent duty on tops
is worse. it Is bounty as far as foreign
wool tops are concerned"
