TARIFF REVISION
PLEAS CONTINUED
Agricultural Section Changes
Are Advocated and 0p-
posed by Witnesses.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Forging ahead with consideration of
the agricultural section of the tariff
act with view to upward revision. the
House ways and means committee yes
terday heard nearly two score more wit
neSSeS advocate changes in duties on
a wide variety of products.
Higher tariffs were proposed on flax
seed, sugar beets, cheese. whole milk,
cream, high protein wheat, nuts, fruits,
cut flowers, and many other commodi-
ties Opposition to some of these pro-
posals was heard, as well as requests
for reductions These came principally
from importers of nuts.
Representative Newton, Republican Of
Minnesota, entered a plea for higher
protection on wheat above IL per cent
protein content, f1axseed, sugar beets,
cheese, whole milk and cream, but men,
toned no rates. AS for f1aXSeed, he
said the present duty of 40 cents
bushel did not allow domestic producers
a sufficient margin to meet with Argen-
tine flaxseed landed in New York.
Cuban imports. against which many
previous witnesses have sought protec-
ton, entered the discussion again to-
day when Florida and California grow
ers of avocadoS sought higher duties on
this and other similar fruits. The
Cuban shipments, they argued. were
preventing the development of this in
dustry in the United States.

MECHANICS FIGHT
CREATION OF POST
Association Declares Man.
ager Is Unnecessary for
District Repair Shop.

Opposition was registered yesterday
by the Association of Mechanics of the
District Repair Shop to a provision in
the District appropriation bill for 1880
creating an Office of manager for the
shop. The association is composed of
all but 10 of the 104 mechanics en-
ployed there.
The provision for a manager was
written into the bill by the House sub
committee on appropriations because it
claimed the shop had no real executive
head. The association, however, dis
agreeing with the committee, points out
that the present superintendent Henry
Shorey. is the executive head and hes
been since the shop was established in
1906.
The new officer Is unnecessary, the
association declared, and his employ
ment at salary of $4,000 a year. as
provided in the bill, would constitute
waste of public funds.
In the time that Shorey has been
head of the shop, the mechanics point
out, the appropriations for its existence
have grown from 100000 to $555 900,
and its personnel and activities have
increased correspondingly.
The mechanics claim the shop does
all of its work satisfactorily, and a
compilation of letters recently made to
aid in the drive against the appoint
ment of new manager, they declare
are testimonials to the excellence of
the shops work. Among the letters
from a large number of school teachers
and District officials are ones from
George S. Wilson, director of public
welfare; Maj Edwin B. Hesse, superin-
tendent of police; Maj. W. L. Peak,
superintendent of the District Jail;
Coroner j. Ramsay hewitt, George M.
Roberts, superintendent of weights,
measures, and markets, and others.
Recently drive was started by men,
bers of the Board of Education to Sc
cure control of the shop, on the ground
that most of its work was in painting
and repairing schools. Most of the
District officials quoted say this move
would be unfortunate. The sentiment
expressed by most was that to compel
department heads to have their work
done only after request to the Board of
Education would cause delays which
would prove inconvenient.

La GUARDIA BEING URGED
FOR MAYOR OF NEW YORK
Friends Declare Movement to En-

Citing His Popularity.

Representative La Guardia, Republi-
can, of New York, for many years one
of the leading figures in the liberal ele-
ment of the House of Representatives.
was suggested yesterday for mayor OF
New York With independent and some
regular support, friends stated that the
boom had gained considerable Roadway.
Mr.. La Guardia's nomination is look
ed upon by members of the New York
delegation here as being entirely prob
able. They know that his popularity
in New York, which has brought him
much political success, would result in a
strong fight against the Democratic
lock-hold on the city.
AS one-time president of the Board Of
Aldermen and one of the few Republi-
cans to carry the city during the Tam
many regime, he is understood to be
open to the proposition, though at
present he prefers to attend to his con-
greSsional duties. Already, it is said,
there has been a great deal of activity
among Independents.

 The report was current in both Chinese and foreign circles that the Canton government planned to term lkin offices consumption tax ofE1ces. Merchandise levies would range from two and a half per cent to 17ls Der cent, which is heavier schedule than the present likin taxes.
 It was believed in Canton that the Ranking government had agreed to the move and that other districts were planning to follow Canton's lead
 These reports, coupled with the approach of new tariff. caused great perturbation among both tho Chinese and foreign exporters and importers. They thought the new tariff and the expected consumption taxes would result in increased fees instead of Tightening charges, as had been expected.
