Authority on Tariff.
{! AS one OF the foremost tariff au.
thorities In congress, he was a notable
figure among the republicans OF the
house long before he became chair-
man Of the ways and means conn
mittee and framed the original OF the
republican tariff doctrine which stood
until repealed by the Underwood law.
When the democrats gained con-
/ troi OF the house foar years ago. Mr

wood tariff debate he made one OF the
notable speeches of the session and
he was heard on the Panama toll ex.
emption bill and many OF the import
ant issues In the present congress. His
age was beginning to tell, however. and
of late he had not infrequently dosed
quietly in his chair for few minutes
at q time during days session.
