ATTACKS-ON WOOL SCHEDULE OF THE EARIFF BILL Washington, July 28.—Assaults on the wool schedule of the tariff bill were continued today from both sides of the senate with proponents striking back vigorously and winning out on each of the three poll calis taken ' during the seven hours session. Discussion was so extended that committee amendments m only one paragraph were disposed of, but the senate was ready for a vote on another garagraph at the finish and leaders were hoveful, but not at all con- fident, that consideration of the sched- ule could be completed tomorrow. Senator Lenroot, republican, Wiscon- sin, created something of a stir early in the day by asserting that there was un- intentionally concealed protection in the schedule for manufacturers of woolen cloth, while late in the day Senator Nel- son, republican, Minnesota, attacked the wool rates in particular and the whole bill in general.

Stocks of most sizes of hard coal for aomestic heating purposes are practically exhausted and thase of soft coal for power uses are dangerously low.
