PAGE TWELVE CANADA LOBBIES | AGAINST DUTIES IN NEW TARIFF Cosst Manufacturers Charge| Lumber Interests of North With Hand in Tariff Making. oa | WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.—Charges; that “a Canadian lobby” in Washing-; ton has been “conducting an insidu-| ous propaganda” against any duty on lumber and shingles, were made be fore the senate finance committee by Robert B. Allen of Seattle, Wash. representing the West Coast lumber Manufacturers’ association. | Mr. Allen said he had been inform. ed that Canadian shinglemakers had been assessed a total of $47,000 to de fray expenses of the tariff fight. Ho added that he had seen no evidence < © of this money until he saw opaganda”™ from Washington described as “insiduous . Charles J. McCarthey| nted a protest from) fertilizer producers ot Honolulu against a tariff on potash. Their cablegram said it would add to food costs and was unnecessary as de- d exceeded the supply. “You want a protection on sugar, @o you not, governor?” asked Senator) Smoot, Republican, Utah. “Yes we want a tariff,” sald Mr. McCarthy. “Well, I think it ts @ vory small thing for the sugar producers of Ha- wali to oppose a duty on potash and ask for a duty on sugar,” returned Senator Smoot. AVIATION MAKES GREAT ADVANGE (Continued from Page 1. Dumont and the other pioneers of the plane had ceased to be impressive. | Flying had passed to the competitive plane with records for speed, endur- ance, altitude and passenger carrying! being pushed upward annually. Seven years after Wright's 9-second flight, | G. Fourney held the endurance rec- ord with 11 hours of continuous fly ing. At the close of 1914 this record had been almost doubled, for W. Landmann maintained a continuous flight of 21 hours, 48 minutes, 4 seconds in Ger- many between June 26 and 27 of that year. The records also show that L. Noel of England flew for more than 19 minutes with nine passengers and 10 passengers had been carried to a height of nearly a thousand fect by the Russian aviator, Sykorsky. | Stinson yesterday added 2 hours and| 28 seconds to the world’s best previous! endurance record formerly held by Vroussoutrut and Bernard as the result) a flight made fn France a year ago June. A span of 4% hours was| added by Stinson to the record| by Landmann some seven years Flying at a speed of 90 miles an ur, they had battled with a snow-| tie skimming over the earth of less than 100 feet, with| low zero, with a 70-mile gale and with hot stinging oll that splashed in their faces and almost blinded} them. 4 While no official record was kept of the distance flown by the Ameri-| cans, competent observers estimated that their plane had covered approxi- matey 2000 miles. In distance covered Stinson and Bertaud undoubtedly sur-| passed all former records and more than equalled the trans-Atlantic | flight of 1,960 mfles made by the late | Capt. Sir John Alcock and Lieut. Arthur W. Brown, from St. Johns, | N. F., to Cilfdon, Ireland. | ‘The endurance flight came as a fit ting climax to the achievement of ‘American aviation !n 1921 when four! world records were made by Yankee! aviators. The other three wero: | An altitude record made by Lieut. | for flying boats made when a Leoning monoplane reached “19,500 feet with| four passegers on August 16. | An altitue redcord made by Lieut. J. A. Macready of the army air serv- ice who piloted an airplane to the height of 37,800 feet at Dayton, Ohio. on September 28, breaking the previous mark of 33,114 feet set by Maj. Ru- doph Schroeder. | A speed record for a closed course} in the Pulitzer trophy race made by| Bert Acosta, who drove a Curtiss navy racer at an average speed of 176.7 miles an hour 150 miles at Omaha, | November 3. | Tribute Paid | To Rockefeller Agent by Mexico MEXICO CITY, Dec. 31.—The Mex- ican government and prominent med- feal and scientific men paid tribute to the late Dr. Howard B.
