Controversial Schedule Jp

Washington, Oct 25 (PN-Senatc tariff consideration today embraced another controversial rate schedule in the duty to be imposed upon i'm ported dyes.
 The issue of American valuation had a part in the contest with oppo- nents of the rates proposed aligned generally against this basis for de- termination of imports OH dye-stuffs,
 Debate extended to the dye-stuffs lcVies after the farmer had received overwhelming support in a conflict with industry over the rate to be fixed upon cascin.
 This commodity, product of skinned milk used extensively as I finish for glossy book paper, was given a tariff of five and one-half cents in contrast to the two and one half cept per pound levy of existing law recommended in the house measure. The senate finance com mittee had proposed a rate of three and one-half cents.
 Twenty-sevan democrats and 25 republicans joined in defeating t7 republicans and two democrats 10 write the higher rate into the bill.
 Blaine and Borah Leaders
 Senators Blaine, Wisconsin, and Borah, Idaho, both republicans, were leaders in the campaign for the higher rate while the opposing view was championed by Senators Van dcnbcrg of Michigan, and Gillett of Massachusetts, also republicans, who contended the increase would rum the coated paper manufacturers.
 Five other chemical Schedul. rates were approved before the close Of the day. This action would reduce four tariffs and place crude chiclc, now dutable at ten cents a pound. on the free list.
 The refined chiclc tariff, under the rates agreed to, would be reduc- ed to five cents a pound; carbon tetrachloride from two and one-half cents to one cent a pound and the rate on tetrachloroethane and tri- Chlorothylene from 35 per cent to 25 per cent. The last two changes were recommended by the senate finance committee.

Lincoln Log Cabin
Rehabilitation Aid
Asked of Coolidge

The good Offices of President
Coolidge were sought by Senator
F. M. Sackett, Republican, OF
Kentucky yesterday to hasten
legislation for the rehabilitation
of the homely log cabin in which
Abraham Lincoln was born.
The Senator called at the White
House to inform the President
that the national shrine is in
danger and that funds available
to maintain it safely are not
adequate for draining of the
ground in the vicinity and other
major precautions necessary.
The log cabin, near Hodgens-
vile, KY, is inclosed in a struc-
ture built by the late P. F. Collier.
who left it to the Nation and set
aside $4,000 for its upkeep. This
is not enough to meet the situa-
ton, Senator Sackett said today
in urging the President to get be-
hind legislation appropriating
100000 for road construction,
drainage and general maintenance
of the Lincoln shrine.
