CHARGES
ANENT TARIFF,
SAY SENATORS
Me- umber and Ladd Deny
Price of Shoes Will Be
Greatly Boosted.

Washington, May 17.-Charges that.
a large amount Of misleading and
false" propaganda vas being circN
lated abou the pending tariff bill was
made today in the senate by Senator
i1-add. Republican, North Dakota. He
said the claim had been made hat as
q result of the duties on hides and
boots and shoes the price of shoes
would be increased by 50 a pair.
This is absolutely false" declared
the senator, adding that duty or hides
of 12 cents plus five per cent ad
Valorem, would amount to only 80
cents d pair for the shoes.
Remarking that there seemed to
be a general impression that a duty
on hides would increase the price OF
all shoes, Senator McCumber, Repub-
lican, North Dakota, in charge of the
bill, said this was not the case, that
COW hides were used only for the
soles and heels of shoes. the other
parts being made of calfskin or other
material. He figured hat the duty
on shoes as u result of the tariff on
hides and the compensatory rate for
manufacturers of shoes would ag-
Eregaae only eight cents per pair of
shoes.
Washington, May 16.s1The tariff is
generally considered a dry subject,
but the senate got father hilarious
during its consideration today.
The hilarity started when Senator
Harrison. Democrat, Mississippi, de-
scribed by Chairman McCumber Of
the finance committee. as the funny
man of the senate" started reading
the list of commodities to be let in
free of duty if the bill were passed
in its pending form.
'Iet's see what the people are to
get tax free under your BILL said
Senator Harrison, addressing the Re-
publican side, FIRST you are going to
let bones come in free. And Brazil-
ian pebbles. Then brstles, If they
are crude. Cutie fish bones. dry in

hoops, old junk. If it's new junk it
can't come in free. l don't know
whether o let loaded dice in free
but you are giving the American peo-
pie loaded dice in this bill.
"And sea weed. That just drifts
in. Eux vomica. Rags! Shavings. Old
paper. Rope ends. Waste ropes
Waste baggings. Old sausage castings

they won't be able to purchase the
necessities to use them in. Josh

80 that's the free list the Ameri-
can people are going to get"
Reply to Senator Harrison in a
sarcastic vein, Senator .McCumber
said 1.-THE funny man of the senate
has given us an address on the free
list which he apparently enjoyed
making as much as the galleries en-
joyed hearing"
1.-The trouble was that the senator

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 1s.-There was q
nervous, irregular market, in, wheat
today during the early dealings May
delivery ranging higher but July and
September showing a decline. Offer
ings OF. May were scarce and shorts
met difficulty in. attempts to buy. On
the other hand, sellers of later
months were numerous owing to the
fact that foreign markets proved un-
responsive to yesterdays sharp adj
vance in Chicago. Receipts of wheat
in Chicago, 100 carloads, were smaller
than has been the rule of late. De-
liveries on May contracts were 49,
900 bushels Today's opening here,
which varied from 7-S cents decline
to 1 ga gain. with May $1.46 1-2 to
LAT IL and July 1928 to 1928 Ia
changes, including a slight reaction
for May and a little upturn for other
months as compared with initial
figures.
Corn and.oats were relatively weak,
owing more OF less to the fact that
the country was offering considerable
corr to arrive here. After opening
unchanged to 1-4@3-s lower, July
6+.1-8@65 Is. the corn market de-
clined somewhat all around.
Oats started unchanged to 1-s cent
lower, July 40 IA to 40 3-S and later
underwent a general slight downturn.
Provisions were firm in line with
hog values. 3D.
Wheat-May eased of later as a
result Of scattered selling. Bears said
plenty Of wheat va being bought to
come to Chicago. Foreigners who
yesterday purchased July and Sep
TENDER, were, said to be selling today.
The market closed unsettled at the
same as yesterdays finish to, l ga
cents lower with May $1.45 1-2 to
Las ga and July $1.27 1-S to 1877 IA.
Corn-Shtpping demand was only
fair. The market closed heavy, IA
to i5-8@3-4 cents net lower, with

appeared in support of the petition
for the paving of the rest of the alleys
in the block, declaring that ingress

A petition for the paving of all the
