UNEXPECTED OCCURS IN HOUSE
Hepburn Pure Food Bill Gives Way
to Naval Appropriation

by Associated FreSS.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The unex-
pected occurred N the house today. In
stead of taking up The house substitute
to the Hepburn pure food ! i'll early in
the day, as anticipated, it was late in
the afternoon before James r. Mann of
Illinois proceeded to champion it.
The delay was caused by long dis
cussion of the conference report on the
naval appropriation bill in which Mr..
Foss of Illinois, chairman of the COM
mittee, was defeated by other house
leaders.
The house was not in a humor to ac-
cept the partial conference, nor did it
desire to leave some of the senate
amendments without expressing its
Judgment upon hem.
In consequence, by close vote, the
conferees were instructed to concur in
the senate amendment relating to the
big battleship, which provides that its
type, displacement and tonnage must
be reported to congress before any pro.
posal is accepted
Several minor amendments were also
passed, and then the report was dis
agreed to. The house ure food bill
then occupied the time 1ntil adjourn,
ment. At $40 o'clock the house ad
journed until tomorrow

HOMESTEAD ACT
AFFECTS STATE
SENATOR FLINT TELEGRAPHS
PARTICULARS
Agricultural Tracts Lying in Certain
Forest Reserves May Be En-
tered-severaI Counties
Are Excepted
BY Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO, June 21.-The Sac
ramento Union tomorrow will say:
The Union is able to authoritatively
announce that the important act of
congress of June IL, permitting entry
under the homestead act of agricultural
tracts lying within forest reserves, ap-
plies in part to California:
The bill, as originally introduced ex-
cepted the state of California. The
copy sent by the forestry bureau of
the United States to State Forester AL
len has the words except the state of
California" run through with brackets,
Indicating that some amendment rela-
tive to application of the bill to CALI
fornia had been offered or that Cali
fornia had been excluded from the BEN
efits of the act as originally drawn.
From the fact that the agricultural
department sent to Forester Allen IN
structions and requests relative to en-
forcement of the law that officer was
of the belief that California had not
been excepted.
Surveyor General Woods was con-
suited by the Union, and to set the
question at rest he wired to United
States Senator Flint asking If Califor-
MIA had been excepted trom the pro-
visions of the bill. Yesterday Mr..
Woods received a reply from senator
Flint as follows:
tural lands within forest reserves OF
state of California, except Inyo, Tu-
lare. Kern, San Luis Obispo, Santa Bar
bara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Ber-
nardlno, Orange. Riverside and San
Diego counties"
The new law therefore applies to this
state except IN the seventh and eighth
congressional districts. The presump-
tion Is that these counties prefer to
have the agricultural tracts In forest
reserves remain intact as affordine
possible means for the conservation OF
water supplies for irrigation
| No other reason can he thought oi
at this time, for stock interests as q
| rule were not opposed to the act.

He did not regard the transportation
as an increase of the presidents salary.
The intention was TO bring the presi-
dent and the people together; there
was nothing smacking of cid world
customs.
The amendment was still under con-
sideration when the senate went into

WASHINGTON. June 21.--The space
IN front of the speakers desk Of the
house today resembled a small section
Of a delicatessen store and a corner
grocery, with cereals, jams, jellies, tins
OF peas, tomatoes, corn. bottles OF
whisky and wine, imported sausages,
branded cherries and other edibes
and drinkables scattered over the
tables.
To complete the picture there were
a standard scales with weights, a grad
uate and a funnel. These were used
to demonstrate the contention of the
majority of the committee on inter-
state commerce and foreign commerce
that a pure food bill Is necessary for
the protection of the people.
Mann Starts Discussion
The house went into committee Of the
whole for the consideration of the bill,
Mr.. Mann beginning the discussion.
Mr.. Mann contrasted the features of
the senate and the house bills re-
marking that 1t was not the aim Of the
house committee on Interstate and for
eign commerce to recommend legis-
lation as to what the people should eat
or drink, but to call attention to what
they are eating and drinking.

Association Afraid to Fight
Calling the attention of the house
to the action of the proprietary asso-
ciation in still insisting upon the pass
age of the Hepburn bill, he said the
association was afraid to come out in
the open and fight.
He read a letter from the German
Extract works which told how to make
all kinds of liquors. He said this firm
claims to make any kind of liquor out
Of ethyl alcohol.
Black pepper, he said, was fruitful

ing sold in five-ton weights, according
to letter which Mr.. Mann read. Pep

JEWS BECOMING ANARCHISTS

ST. PETERSBURG, June 21.-M. AL
ladin, the peasant leader, at today's
session of the lower house of parlia-
ment attempted to create a sensation
by recounting that while in the res
taurant Of parliament he had heard an
officer in the uniform of a lieutenant
general say he would like to see the
chandeliers ornamented with the bodies
of the members of The group of toll.
Count Heyden, marshal of the no
bility, who presided. advised M. Alladin
to summon the officer before a justice
of the peace.
Five Social Democrats elected from
the caucus today take their seats with
the Radicals of the Mountain"
The impression produced by the
Bialystok massacre had the effect of
cutting short a debate on the question
of abrogating privileges and placing all
Russian subjects on an equality before
the law.
Makes Strong Speech
Whatever hostility existed against
| the granting of equal rights - the Jews
disappeared after a strong speech made
by M. Stcheplxin, chairman of the par
liamentary commission which went to
| Bialystok.
He did not mention Bialystok by
name, although everyone within sound
of his voice knew he was referring to
the scenes which he had just left, and
the anti-semetic massacres which the
| country had witnessed and was witness
ing. He declared hat the massa cres
were due directly to the irequality of
| the Jews before the law which parlia-
ment was seeking to correct. Continu-
ing, he said:
1T has been charged that the Jews
are becoming anarchists. That is par
TALLY true. The government, by OPP
preston, is driving the prosecuted men,
bers Of that race to anarchy. The diff
ference between their status and ours
is illustrated by the fact that If rob
ber enters our homes we have the right
to shoot him; but If a Jew resists
troops are summoned and he is shot
down as a reVolutionist. Lack of lawful
protection viii make any people the
enemies, not only of the present gov
ernment but of all governments"
M. Stchepkin appealed for instant
action. He pointed out so long as the
inequalities in the rights continued thC
police and local officials were easy tools
Of persecution.
The entire subject was referred to q
committee of thirty-three members
with instructions to report as soon al
possible.
After consultation today the party
leaders decided that the Stchepkin com
mittee report shall be presented Mon
day.

During his argument the court room

He showed that a great many of the

and contended that the murder had
