There was no reference to the elev- ‘enth-hour action of the committee in placing a duty of 35 cents a barrel on ¢rude petroleum and 25 cents a bar- rel on fuel oil, although it is ex- pected that a fight for removal of this duty will be made and the issue be put before the House for a straight wote. B Lumber on Free List. With the- exception of cabinet woods. on which a “small” ad valorem duty was.imposed “logs and lumber in Zeneral are placed on the free list,” the report declared. The tax of $1 a spruce and western thousand ‘on fir, hemlock logs, it said, was imposed to place a premium on fair treatment by other countries. ' The provision authorizing the Presi- dent to prociaim a retaliatory tariff on finished lumber against any coun- try taxing American products, was dedlared to be in harmony with other bargaining provisions of the bill. “The proviso, it is believed.” the re- port said, gn the export trade of finisned lum- er.

A large auto truck, bearing three tons of meat from Baltimore, skidded on the wet roadway of Cat Tail hill, between College Park and Hyattsville, crashed into a telegraph pole and turned turtle today, injuring Dewey Cuffley, the chauffeur, and Jesse Downey, both of Baltimore. The cargo was scattered about the roadway and adjoining fields, some pieces landing a distance of seventy feet from the truck. Cuffley was taken to Sibley Hospital, where one hand was found so badly mashed that amputation was neces- sary. Downey was brought to Cas- ualty Hospital, suffering from burn to the hands and body. Cuffley’s con- dition is weakened from loss.of blood, but he is believed to stand a good chance of recovery. Cat Tall hill is considered one of the most dangerous spots between ‘Washington and Baltimore, especially in wet weather.

Moodie is the modest hero who waded out into the stream and brought the woman to shore and then disappeared in the crowd. refusing to give his name. Smith aided in the rescue Latest Gun Has Five Ton Shells Over 200 Miles R. Waldenberger, superintend ent of the reservation, will recom- mend to the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission in Pittsburgh that the two men be rewarded. The super- intendent characterizes Moodie's feat as the bravest in the long list of Niagara rescues. Mrs. Raines’ rescue, reservation records show, is the most remarkable to date. No one has ever been known to travel so fat into the river at the point above the falls and to have been saved. The spot where she was rescued is approximately one hundred feet above the brink and twenty feet from shore. She floated down stream one thousand feet. Power to Hurl By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 6.—Scientists and inventors today discussed the re- markable qualities of a new gun, which Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson, ‘former chief engineer for Thomas A. Edison, claims may be developed to hurl a projectile of flve tons from two hundred to three hundred miles. Its velocity, he declared, ranges from one to five miles a second. The noise it made at a demonstration yesterday sounded much like the click of a cash register, though only a minfature weapon, with an eight-inch barrel was used. Its projectile may be stopped in a sheet of steel with the precision of a trolley car. The gun is the invention of John Temple, an Englishman, who devel- oped the idea in this country. The demonstration, held in the pres- ence of scientists and newspaper men, was, curiously enough, held in Dr. Hutchinson's office; on the fifty-first floor of the Woolworth building. The testing grounds congisted of a box of sand on the floor of the office, over which was placed a sheet of steel three-quarters of an inch th Pointing the gun downward toward the fifty offices filled with people beneath him, Dr. Hutchinson dis- charged the weapon and the cash- register click was heard. In the sheet of steel there was lodged a projectile three inches long and one-half in diameter. The endslatuck out on either side of the steel. Dr. Hutchinson explained that the COURT-MARTIAL BOARD NAMED FOR COL. SHELLEY Thirteen Officers Ordered to Hold Trial for Shooting Colorea Groom. Thirteen officers of the Army have been ordered to report to the com- area, at Balttmore, for temporary duty as members of a general court- martial - appointed ‘for the trial of Lieut. Col. James E.

PARIS, July 6.—The last day of the visit of the American Rotary Club delegates to Paris was devoted to sightseeing and an ‘inspection of French industrial plants. All the large automobile factories were visit- ed, the Rotarians dividing into groups, which were led by prominent business ‘men. The 500 delegates were received by President Millerand at the Llysee palace this afternoon. He expressed the gratitude of the French govern- ment for the Rotarians’ visit to { i i | i The three-day program will end to- night with a banquet for all the Ro- tarians and their wives. Many of the delegates plan to sail for New York this week. The others will tour Eu- rope before returning home. - manding general of the 3d Corps. tall end of the projectile was thread- ed and served the purpose of a bolt This feature, he declared, could be used in bolting a plate over a hole in_the hull of a leaking ship at sea. Dr. Hutchinson said a demonstra- tion was held recently in the New York navy vard of the practicability of deep sea riveting with the gun. A diver went thirty-five feet below the surface and fired a shot. The diver refused to believe the gun had been discharged, as he said there had been no percussion and no re- coil. He was shown the plate of the ship he had fired into, however, and later a_pressure of eight tons was required to force the projectile from its place. The demonstration gun used by Dr. Hutchinson had a velocity of one mile a second. He declared the high- power rifies now in vogue obtain their velocity through the use of small projectiles, long barrels and about three times as much powder as is used in the new weapon. The principle of burning the powder, which does not permit waste, before the rojectile even starts to move, has beep applied in the gun, Dr. Hutchinson explained, as he showed i{ many other things which to the lay mind were as unintelligible as a lec- ture in higher mathematics would be to the average lad of ten. The elim- ination of a loud report, he said. was obtained by confinement of the expanding gases to the chamber from which the projectile emanated. The weapon resembled the nozzle of a pneumatic hamme: AMBASSADOR WALLACE GETS FRENCH FAREWELL Premier Expresses Appreciation and Mrs. Wallace Receives Mass of Floral Gifts. PARIS, July 6.—Hugh C.
