JFEAR GITRUS FAUITS NAY GO ON FREE LIST THIS IS OPX‘\HON OF PRESIDENT POWELL, OF CALIFORNIA CIT- RUS ]:.XCHANGE Is Urging <1Umla Representatives to Work Against Such a Move. (By Wintield Jones.) Washington, May 12. —President Powell, of the California C'itrus Fruit Kxchange, has been holding confer- ence for several days with different members of the Florida delegation in Congress, to urge them to combine with the California senators and rep- resentatives in an effort to prevent lemons being put on the firee list by the Senate. Mr. Powell believes that if any changes are made in the lemon and orange schedules that both articles will be treated alike, 'and expressed the opinion today that oranges may be put on the free list. Under the present Payne tariff law lemons are taxed 1% cents a pound, and oranges | cent a pound. The Underwood bill provides for i duty of a little less than one-half cent a pound on each. Mr. Poweil believes that only by making an ef- fort to increase the duty on both over the Underwood scale, by the combined efforts of the California and Florida delegations, will it be possible to keep both oranges and lemons from being put on the free list by the Senate. It is very doubtful Florida senators will accept Mi. Powell's point of view and join is- sues with the California delegation whether the Hon. D. T. Gerow, postmaster of Jocksonville, was at the capito} to- day visiting Senator Bryan. tHe i3 on his way to Cambridge, Pa., 1 visit his father, [ by oy ) Attorney General T. F.

' The office of public roads made an exhibit of road molels for the first time at the Alagka-Yukon-Pacific Ex- pesition. The aim was to put on view such striking examples in miniature ol road models that visitors would rot only appreciate the beneficent ef- fects of improved highways, but would, at the same time, be able to uiderstand the methods of their con- struction. Since the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex: josition closed, the exhibit has been Aisplayed at Omaha, Neb,, during the Natlonal Corn Exposition; at Knox- ville, Tenn., durin gthe Southern Ap- palachian Exposition; at Chicago, I, during the National Land and Irrigation Exposition; at New York city during the Travel and Vacatlon Exposition and the Domestic Science Exposition; at Atlantic City, N. J., during the American Road Congress; at Lethbridge, Ailberta, Auring the . International Dryland Congress; ag Buenos Alres, Argentina, during the International Agricultural Exposi- tion; at Turin, Italy, during the In- ternational Exposition, and at vari- cus other expositions and fairs. Since that time the collection has beem greatly augmented, until every sin- gle type of road is now represented, and every known Aevice used in the making of roads has been reproduced in minfature. The models have also been dis- plu)od on road trains at all impor- tant places along the route of the Pennsylvania railroad in the State of Penneylvania, the entire system of the Southern Railway, the Frisco Lines, the tlantic Coast Line, and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Raflway As a result of the Instruction fur- (Continued on Page 4.)
