CONGRESS MAY BE IN SESSION mi SUMMER Believed Revenue Raising Bill Will Not Be Reported in House Before May. Washington, March 10. Majority Leader Kitchin and the members of the ways and means committee have decided to put one over on the re publicans when they bring In a new tariff or revenue raising bill to meet the enormous expenditures which aro certain to be made for Increases to the army and navy. Only one bill will be reported. It will include the tariff commission, revision of the In come tax. repeal of. the atamp tax and' a rider to place a heavy tax on chemicals used in the production of dyestutfs. The republicans want a tariff com mission. Their party Is committed to it. But they are opposed to Increas ing the percentage and limitations of the income tax such as is proposed by the democratio members of con gress,; But they must either vote for a democratic tariff raising measure or refuse to vote for the tariff com mission, which their own party Is en dorsing. It Is considered a good way to ex pedite the work of congress and at the same time to an excellent means of forcing republicans to go on rec ord for democratic tariff doctrine. The bill is not expected to be re ported to the house before some time In May. It will be late In the summer before it Is flnaOy passed, and snow will probably be orr the ground be fore congress adjourns.

Advices received today at the office of the Western Carolina Lumber and Timber association from the Pennsyl vania Railway company are to tho effect that the embargo pn shipments to New York over this road has been lifted so far as domestic lumber la concerned and that exp'ort shipments will be accepted conditionally. Domestic lumber will be accepted for shipment within lighterage limits to New York and export cars will be received when there is presented evi dence of definite sailing engagement. 11 lit shipments for export will not be allowed to remain in transit or at ter minals for an unreasonably long pe riod. A letter from a large wholesale lum ber company of New York 1ind Boston to a local dealor states, in commenting cn the termination ot the embargo. that heavy fogs in the harbor and rivers of New York are partially re sponsible for the restrictions 'on do mestic shipments. The fog made it impracticable for the lighters to navl-. gate In safety. This climatic condi tion has apparently Improved.
