 WASHINGTON. July 15.-Hides. raw, green and pickled. were thrown off the Fordney tariff free list tc- day by the house, which voted, 152 to 97. to impose an ad valorem duty of Is per cent, to be followed by another amendment taxing all leather products, including shoes.
 Eight republican members of the ways and means committee, which framed the bill, voted for free hides. and Representative Gardner of Texas, ranking democratic committeeman, in charge of the general fight against the bill, voted for the tax. There were many breaks from party lines on the first contested section of the measure. but. finding them selves with votes to spare, repuh- lican leaders forced an early ad- journment over the democratic de- mand that the bill be read for amendment.
 Will increase Shoe Bill
 Representative Hawley of Wash ington, republican member of the committee, in pleading against the duty, declared the farmers, by tar- if, would get less than they were now paid, and that $S1. 100000 would be added annually to the nations shoe and leather bill. He was joined by Representative Burton. repub- lican of Ohio. a former member of the senate, who told the house that the Payne-Aldrich bill did not put one cent of tax on the hide of the COW.
 The action of the leaders in ad- journing after a five-hour session, and on the heels of an eleven-hour sitting yesterday. ended the hope of democrats of a chance to demand a vote on amendments generally. After discussion had been running for two hours, Representative Garrett of Tennessee, the acting democratic leader, offered motion to close de- bate at once so that the house might have an opportunity to work on the bill under the five minute rule. ac- cording to the legislative custom The republicans countered with g motion for two additional hours oi debate, and got it by a party vote Then, when the vote was taken, Mir Garrett insisted that the house keer on the job, but all he could do wa. to force a roll call, which showed republicans voting solidly to quit Thirty-one members took part ii the days talk. some defending ant some flaying the hide tax.
