"Now that the re port of the national commission has been made I want to fire a farewejl shot." said CTiarles Mnrpby," p resident of tha CT.k-agtj National league Saturday, commenting on the dec Is loa of te coram ission la the world's chajnptonahip series smlfng rase. I could not well express myself while the thing was oa. It would look possTOy like an attempt to influence the decision. The pu-agraph of tha commission's report to the effect that tbere waa no ticket sale at the park Is ia. correct. It is a fact that ticket sales began at " tha ' park offices at 1 p. tn. aad continued; antil the Mne of buyers had melted away. The story that Mr. Cooke took a large package of tickets to the scalper has been refuted by the police officers who escorted htm during the time he had the tickets In his possession. The fact that the tickets were not on sal down town at the advertised time was due ta delay In the preparation of tha tickets, which had not been delivered la time by tha printer.

SO.-The timber scbt-uu,c ha A6.n unu.r u,t.USton Di-iure the house ways and means committee for a short tfme today. H. H. Tift of Tlfton. I Ga., who appeared at the request of the committee, asked that the lumber schedule be left andisturbed. 1 Chairman Payne aaked Mr. Tift why the people of the sooth come before the com mittee and ask for higher duties than the people from any other section, snd then voted for a low tariff in the national elec tion. "Taft got 40, 0W votes tn- Georgia," re marked the witness. "Yes, but he should have gotten a ma jority." "There was no campaign made for him," rejoined the witness. Otto Kirchner of Detroit asked for spe cific doty am seeds instead of the ad val orem rates. R. K. McLea of New Tork argued foq a readjustment of the cotton schedule, claim ing It should be simplified. He declared If aay changes are made In the rates of duty on cotton goods they should be made grad ually. The testimony of E. D. Metcalf of Au burn, N. Y representing the National Harvester company, waa similar in many respects to that of Judge E. H. Gary of tha United Slates Steel corporation yester day. Mr. Metcalf said his company is so well entrenched In too agricultural imple ment business that it does not need the tariff, and that it Is immaterial to it how the tariff is changed. He did not .deny that the International Harvester company manu factures over W per cent of the harvesters, mowara, etc.. made ia this country. ""Can you manufacture cheaper than the English and French makers T" asker Rep resentative Crampacker. "I think we can, from tha fact that we sell our goods tn those countries. We have improved methods ta all Lnes of manufacture ia this country which bene fits ua ia the manufacture of our good a." Tou have not suffered as a result of the tariff oa steel and oa iron ore?" asked Mr. C mm packer. "I eaanet see how the tariff can be Ml responsible for tha fluctuations ta the prices of steel and iron. It Is due to the demand and stipply." Tha witness said that American manu facturers of agricultural Implements are obliged to pay the maximum tariff in France, while British manufactjrers enjoy tha benefits of tha miilmum tariff. Mr. Metcalf disagreed with the testi mony of IL EL Miles of the National As sociation of Manufacturers and the com plaints of several manufacturers of agri cultural Implements that tha cost entering Into the manufacture of their products has increased. He declared that the prices of these raw materials had stead ly decreased. Representative Crumpacker championed the cause of the smaller manufacturers, claiming they cannot ecmpeU with the In ternational for the foreign business.
