lut BILL; : --PASSES
HOUSE
But Senate Likely To Tlold It Up
"UntilNDeccmber
Session.
Washington. June 21. The House
of Representatives by a vote of 221 to
100 passed the Underwood wool, tariff
revision bill providing for a reduction
of 'the doty on wool and manufactures
of wool. Twenty-four Republicans vot
ed with the Democrats for the passage
of the measure and one Democrat,
Representative Francis, of Ohio, voted
against it.
Maiy amendments were offered and
votel down, the only one adopted being
a slight change in phraseology. Almost
five hours went spent iy the House in
debate under the five minutes rule. Im
mediately preceding the final vote, a
motion offered by Representative
Payne, of New York, that the bill be
re-submitted to the Ways and Means
Committee with instructions that il
avail a report from the tariff board on
the woolen industry before making fin-'
al report of- the bill was lost by a vote
of 189 to 118.
The bill places a duty of twenty per
cent, ad valorem on raw wool imports
as against an average duty of a little
mote than 41 p-r cent, ad valorem un-
dtr the present law. On partly manu
factured wool and on products manu
facture! in whole, or in pa't from wool
the, average duty undrr the proposed
laW would be about 42 5 per cent, ivl
valorem as compared with the present
average ad valorem duty of more than
90 per cent. The Ways and Means
Committee has estimated that the bill
would reduce the annual revenue under
the woolen schedule of the tariff by a
little more than $1,000,000.
The bill prescribes that it shall be, in
effect January 1st, next, but it is not
believed tkat the bill will pass the Sen
ate at this session.

A telephone message received in tl-ia
city yesterday afternoon from Oriental
stated -that John Truitt, of that place
an employee of the Rope Lumber
Company had been instantly killed
while attempting to couple two can on
the yard of that company. Meagre de
tails were givn in regarg1 to the ac
ident, but it seems that Truitt, who
had been engaged in shifting some logs
in the pound had volunteered to awist
the break man in his work. Being in
experienced in this he was cxuyht bt

Several of these will visit Morehead
City.
The following resolution was offered
by the committee and unanimously 1
adopted.
Since our last annual meeting, an all !
wise Providence has called to his eter-;
nal house our beloved President Samuel
Wittkowsky. For over a quarter of a
century he devoted much of his valu
able time lo help the wage earner and
bread-winner to build an e irthly habi
tation, a home and he lived to see his
faithful service rewarded. He became
one of the vii-epreniienU of ihe National
Building & Loan League President ot
our State B. & L. League and preniJent
of the largest Building and Loan in the
South, that at the time of his death
had then loaned to home owners over
$1,000,000. His enthusiasm, his active
careful ind persistent interest in ever)
matter pertaining to Building &. Loans
made blm an authority. Thro' his in
fluence the formation of th presant
N. C. Building 4c Ivan waa largely due
and he bid been its President until the
time of bis death.
He gaVe valuable auitianre In driv
