BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Chairman
Payne of the house ways and means
committee announced tonight that he
was confident the Philippines tariff bill
will pass without amendment when
put to a vote He said he was unwill-
ing to accept the amendments pro-
posed by the beet sugar men, and de-
clared it would be better for the bill to
be defeated than passed in such form
that the amount of sugar permitted to
come to the United States annually
at reduced rates will be limited to a
definite amount. In the opinion of Mr..
Payne such action would defeat the
purpose of the measure.

WILL WAGE WAR
ON PEAR BLIGHT
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS WILL
DIRECT BATTLE
At Meeting Of Sacramento Valley De-
velopment Association and Prom-
inent Fruit Men Necessary
Money Is Pledged
BY Associated Prese.

SACRAMENTO Jan. ia supreme
effort to secure effectual control of the
pear blight which threatens the de-
struction of the pear orchards of Cali
fornia was determined upon today at
meeting of the Sacramento Valley
Development association held in this
city, and attended by representatives
of prominent fruit interests, including
Lieut.. Governor Anderson manager of
the California Fruit Distributors The
department of agriculture at Washing
ton expressed a willingness a short
time ago to send four experienced path
ologists to aid in directing the fight
now being waged against this disease,
but have been deferred by the fact
that no moneys are available in the
department for this purpose. At the
meeting held here today the develop
ment association decided to assume the
1esponsibility of the field expenses of
these men, estimated at $1,000, and so
wired the department.
This action will result in n very sub
stantial increase in the working force
now combating the blight and will
bring to California some of the men
noted for successes in fighting other
plant diseases.
The Bartlett pear orchards of this
state. which are threatened with de-
struction, are estimated to be worth
$40. 900, 000 The effort to stamp out the
pear blight is being carried on jointly
by the state university, the state hor-
ticultural commission and the United
States department of agriculture.
The disease has practically destroyed
the pear orchards of the San Joaquin
valley, and only the most vigorous eff
fort will prevent the destruction Of
the entire pear industry one of the
most important of California's horti-
cultural interests, and the prompt ac-
tion of the valley organization is re-
garded here as one of the most i'm
nortant stems ever taken by this body

Last Friday night the body of Robert
Kerner, proprietor of the Boonville
Foundry and Machine Works, Of Boon-
vile, was found dead on High street, not
far from his home. The manner in
which he met death was most peculiar
and has only one parallel that We know
anything about, a death in the same
identical ann occurring about q year
ago in Jefferson City.
Mr.. Kerner was on his way home Fri
day night and walking along the street
by the picket fence. He was doubtless
seized with a fainting spell or all attack
of heart failure and fell forward his neck
catching between the pickets of the
fence, strangulation resulting in a short
while. Life was completely extinct when
he was found.
He leaves a wife and three children to
mourn his passing, and many friends
everywhere who will regret to hear of
his sad and sudden ending. Boonville
has been his home for many years and
he has been closed connected with
many of its business interests, and will be
much missed in all circles .--Buneeton
