the levels in the Paync-Aldrich law.
and Immediately there was sharp
CONTROVERSY, democratic speakers
urging further reductions.
Presenting a resolution from Nc
braska hardware dealers opposing
rates in the bill OH hardware, Senator
Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, de-
clared the business men of the west,
without regard to politics, believed
passage of the bill would result in in
creased prices.
Supporting the committee rates,
Senator Willis. republican, Ohio, de-
clared American manufacturers would
have to be protected from chain
manufacturers in Germany who, he
asserted, have their agents in this
country booking orders at prices be-
low the cost of production in the
United States.
Senator Hitchcock told the sc'<lte
that he would undertake to show to-
morrow that the cry of German conf
petition was a myth and that there
was all attempt to continue COM
mercially the war that ended some
time ago for the benefit of a few
manufacturer in the United States.

wise to make tariff rates so high that
there could not be an exchange of
goods between the two nations.

YukOn's "Last Drink"
Rushed to NOrthldnd
Before u. S. Ban Falls

Dawson, Y. T., June 2o.-A train
load of assorted drinkables steamed
into Canadian territory on the White
Pass & Yukon railway last Thurs
day, a few hours before the embargo
on intoxicants passing through
United States territory became ef-
fective. Fourteen freight cars packed
to the roof brought provision
against the probable dry spell
which must intervene until, if ever,
the United States government can
be prevailed upon to permit the
Yukon to bring its liquor through
the Alaskan approach, the only prac-
ticable route.
The embargo brought about by
the decision Of the United States GU
preme court, that liquor could not
be carried through United States
territory from one country to an
other, became effective at midnight
June S. The last carload of liquors
reached Skagway, Alaska, June 4.
From there train schedules on the
White Horse route had to be re-
vised for day, but the Yukon's
last drink got through. The selling
value Of the train load is over S70,-
600.
