Mr, Fordney had been making an exhAustive discussion of the lumber schedule, when e was interrupted by the Mississipplan, who insisted that the lumber manufac- turers, of which Mr. Fordney was one, were In & trust. Mr. Fordney per- emptorily denfed the statement and sald that Mr. Byrd “didn’t know a thing about it The Mississippl member made a move toward Mr. Fordney and was in the act of removing his coat, when some of his democratic colleagues took hold of him. Later it developed that the incident grew out of a misunderstanding and both men ninde mutual explanations and apologized. Mz, Fordney made a notable speech on the subject of lumber and pleaded for bet- terter protection on that product in the rough. Diametrically opposed to him was Mr. Howland of Ohio, who wanted the product placed on the free list Others who spoke were Messrs, Pou of North Carolina and Macon of Arkansas, both of whom arraigned the Payne bill for not accomplishing what it was claimed it would do, while Mr. Humphrey of Wash- ington pleaded or a tariff on shingles and lumber sufficlently high to enable the lum- ber and shingle manufacturers of his state to compete with those of British Co- lumia employing cheap oriental labor. Humphrey for Duty on Shingles. Wihen the tariff bill was lald before the house today Mr. Humphrey of Washington took Issue with some statements made by Mr. Payne in his opening speech regarding the number of orientals engaged in the lumber milfls of British .Co- lumbia. Mr. Payne, he sald, thought there were foewer orfentals working In sucl milis there than in the state of Washipgton. That atement was er- roneous, he siid; Mo dectared that over ver_cent of the nien engaged 1 ihe lumber whd shingle mills of British Columbla were | re pald lower wages than Iaborers and that therefore oduction was less. Out of the 139% nien employed In the shingle mills of Washington, Mr. Humphrey said, there | were but forty-one orientals. He also sald | that of the 110,00 men employed in the lumber und shingle Industry In that state there were but 1500 orlentals. Mr. Humphrey, in pleading for an in- creased duty on shingles, warned the re- publicans that they could not escape thelr vesponsibllity ineofar as the problem of orlental labor was concerned. “Now," he said, “we have an opportu- | nity to see whether or not we are going | back on what we have sald about protect- | ing the labor of this country from the ruin- | ous competition of forelgn countries.” | Near Pight on Floor, | Through a misunderstanding Representa. tive Byrd of Mississinpl and Representative Fordncy of Michigan almost came to blows | i (he fleor of the house while the latter | was making 4 speech on the tariff.

Mr. Byrd -duod' that he knew whereof he spoke when he charged the existence of such a combina- tion “The gentleman does not know a thing | about it," shouted Mr. Fordney.

Duty on high grades, he sald, was not needed as much as on the low grade, and this was desired in order to compete with the for- clgn production. He denied that lumber from the southern states was going Into Canada in any considerable quantity except long leaf yellow pine Wil Not Aftect Southern Lumber. Mr. Forduey admitted Jn response to a question by Bartlett of Georgla that whether the duty on lumber was increased, lowered or removed, southern lumber could not be carried Into the territol north of the Ohlo river in competition with Canadian lumber because of prohibitive freight rates. Mr. Fordney declarod there had been a ked downward tendency in the price of lumber the last two years, and that ir the duty on lumber should be taken off his lumber manufacturing company would close s sawmlill, throwing 30 employes out of | work and keeping the mill idle untll better times.

The former Venesuelan president was furious at the action taken | by the steamship company. He entered an utomobfle and was driven to the offices of the company, where he indulged in a tirade against Juan Vicente Gomes, presi- dent of the republic. “All I ask is the right to & fair trial,” he declared. “I am pre- pared to accept the result.

His words here leave no doubt of his intention to try to organize a revolution to overthrow his enemies and re-cstablish himself at Ci ocas. After Castro returned to hia hotel ho had | a long conference with a Mr. Roy, agent | of a Paris company engaged in the manu- facture of arms.

SOME CONCESSIONS ON MILEAGE Two-Thousand-Mile Books Good on All Raflronds at 2 Cents, Fives Hundred-Mile Books Good for Bearer at 2 1-2 Cents., ST. LOUIS, March %.—The S-cent local ticket rate and the 2,000-mile interchange- able book will be put in effect April 10, according to an official statement issued by the eighteen rallroads in Missourl to- night. The statement was issued after the retcrn of the railroad representatives from Jefferson City, where conferences on the passenger rate question were held with Governor Hadley, Attorney General Major and members of the rallroad committee of the legislature, The statement also announces that actions to test the validity of the 2-cent laws in adjoining states will be brought at once. Ater stating that the most cor- dial good feeling existed during the con- ference at Jefferson City, the statement reads: “As the matter now stands as between the rallroad proposition and that of the ex- ecutive and legislative departments there is a difference which might be cl led as detall. “In other words, the establishment of the 3-cert basis for through and interstate rates will not be objected to, and a 2,000- mile interchangeable mileage book upon a basis of 2 cents net is acceptable to both sides. The state favors a 500-mile book, good upon an individual raliroad and for bearer, at 2} cents per mile. ““Phe railroads offer In lieu of this a 500- mile bopk, good over all of the raliroads in the state and for bearer, at 2 cents per mile; and upon an Individual railroad a #00-mile book, good for owner only, for 2% cents per mile, all mileage books In both cases to be good pr one year. Talk About Scalpers. “I'he objection by the raliroads to the 24-cent individual rallroad bearer mileage book is the fact that where more than i4-cent difference 1s made between the ordinary local ticket rate and the bearer mileage rate it will be used by scalpers ard also to redupe interstate rates. “The mileage b'ok, which the railroads offer, would be flat 2 cents; the differ- ence would hot represent @ profit to both scalper and purchaser, therefore, this ticket would not_be scalped.” In referenco to the traveler of small means and for short distances the state- ment reads: “The opinlon of every passenger traffic official s that the practical effect of the 2i4-cont statewide mileage book would be to extend the benefit of that rate to every | traveler. They tiable and it would be the simplest matter for individuals to secure the use of a por- tion of a book held by another. “At the present time no further confer- ence Is contemplated. “In the meantime the 3-cent local ticket rate and the 2000-mile interchangeable book will be put in etfect April 10. “With a return to the 3-cent maximum basis It 1s belleved that the railroads will | feel justitied in considering questions of excursion rates. “Actions to test the validity of the 2-cent | laws In adjoining states will be brought at gt Jefferson City Conference Ends. JEFERSON CITY, Mo., March 2%.—That there has been a practical faflure of all rate negotiations between state and raii- road officlals here during the last two days was apparent today after another fruitless conference at the executive man- sion and a decision by the state senate not to interfere. the roads will put the old 3-cent fares into effect early next month and that the legl lature will retaliate by passing bills re- quiring the sale of mileage books at the rate of 2 cents a mile and giving the state (Continued on Second Page.) “Om: is practically assured of the Glidden tour,” said H.
