TARIFF ON BRICK URGED AT HEARING #House Committee Tackles f, Earth, Earthenware and ?» Glassware Schedules. " Opening up of the earths, earthen- fare and glassware schedule of the tar- | §ft act brought another army of wit- pesses to the House ways and means committee today bearing suggestions for Ehanges in import duties. The commit- tee has concluded its hearings on the first schedule, embracing chemicals, oils gnd paints. The first witness today, Frank Kasten bf Chicago, representing the Brick and Clay Workers of America, requested a tariff of from $4.50 to $5.00 a thousand on common building brick to enable American producers to meet Belgian pompetition. Common brick now enters this coun- try duty-free, and Kasten said the Bel- gian imports were hurting prices on the pastern coast of the United States. " Opposition to any-increase in_duties on tiles, now ranging between 20 and B0 per cent on declared value, was ex- pressed by representatives of the Hansa Co. of New York and the Foreign Tile Tmporters’ Association of America on the ground that there is no serious com- petition between the domestic and for- eign product. Stuart Mannell of Stuart Mannell & €o. of Seattle urged placing on the free fist various grades of limestone, now dutiable at from 5 to 12 cents per 100 pounds, to enable producers in the Northwest to expand a growing indus- %ry. He contended the American supply was inadequate and of inferior grade | ®nd imports from British Columbia were | PLEA MADE T0 FREE TARIFF-OF POLITICS Watson Asks Partisanship Be Eliminated in Study of Legislation. “partisan politics” should be elimi- nated from any consideration of pro- posed tariff legislation, Senator Watson, Republican, of Indiana, told the South- ern Tariff Association this morning at the Raleigh Hotel. “Ppartisan politics,” he declared, “has no place in tariff consideration. Every citizen of this country is vitally affected regardless of his political affiliations. We believe in an American policy for every purpose in every way, and that in- cludes protection for American business, manufacturing and agriculture. Senator Watson impressed upon the | delegates the necessity of considering | tariff legislation from the standpoint of the Whole people. The senator ex- pressed ths hope that Congress would accord the farmer through tariff pro- tection, the relief necessary to place him on an economic equality with the other business interests of the United States. Florida Speaks. Representative Tom Yon of Florida discussed briefly the problems of the | vegétable and citrus fruit growers of the country. “We want results,” said Mr. Yon. “The farmer must be reliev- ed from his present distressing condi- tion. We care not whether the bill is framed by Republicans or Democrats. It is my intention to support any meas- ure that contains the necessary relief for the farmers of this country.” Similar sentiments were expressed by Representative R. A. Green of Florida. “We must consider the tariff measure from the angle of the whole people, be- ‘PHE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, :D.

Lorenzo Wilson of Florida, who pre- sided at the opening session, declared: “Both parties in the last campaign de- clared unequivocally for tariff protection and such other relief as the farmers re- quired. We expect Congress to keep these promises. We must, however, ad- e our representatives what protection is needed and support our pleas by necessary facts and substantial proof.” Olympic Champion Is Married. LONDON, January 10 () .—Lord David Burghley, son and heir of the Marquis of Exeter and famous hurdler and Olympic champion, and Lady Mary Scott, daughter of the Duke of Buc- cleugh, were married this afternoon in the old-time Church of St. Clement Danes on the Strand. SRR In the Arctic regions the atmosphere is so clear and so quiet that it is often possible for two persons to hold a con- versation over 2 miles of country. Should Elizabeth T. Owen of New York join the Catholic Church she is to lose a life annuity of $10,000 and her children, if any, a fund of $250,000, and she would receive only a bequest of jewelry, under terms of the will of her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Bisland Wetmore, widow of Charles W.

Will Provides Woman Would Lose Annuity Of $10,000 If She Joins Catholic Church The remaining estate is devised to the National Savings & Trust Co., in trust, to distribute quarterly the income among her sisters, Mary L. Bisland, Margaret W. Bisland and Melaine B. Owen, during the life of the survivor. On the survivor's death an annuity of $10,000 is to be paid to her niece, Eliza- beth T. Owen, if she shall not have be- come a member of the Catholic Church, during her life, or until she shall join that church. At the death of Elizabeth T. Owen, not having affiliated with that church, a fund of $250,000 is to be dis- tributed among any children. The rest of the income, as well as the bulk of the estate, on the death of Elizabeth T. Owen is to form the Charles and Elizabeth Wetmore fund for the benefit of indigent native suffer- ers from consumption in and about New Orleans. The income from this fund is to be paid to such organizations as may be annually designated by the governing body of the First Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church and Christ Church Cathedral in New leans. ='W Seldom Fails to End Nasal CATARRH and Stubborn Head Colds ew Building and Loan Plan Offered #=World’s Largest Building Material Dealers A LOAN OF 757 PAYMENTS As Low As YR 5 tolSYears to PAY, if DESIRED HIS Extraordinary offer gives every home builder a new opportunity to own a home now, with a loan of 759, easy payments as low as $20 per month and the privilege of continuing the loan from 5 to 15 years, if desired.
