Director North Must Disclose Es-
 tinatSd Amount Unginnsd
HARVIE JORDAN EXPLAINS
Claims Withholding the Estimates Has Given the Bears an Exceptional Opportunity to Force =
 Prices Down.

Washington, February 1-(Specai)- When Director North of the census bye reau submits his report to Congress s.l the estimated amount of unginned cotton January l6 1t will be the last estimate is- sued from the census bureau, while will hereafter confine itself to reporting facts.
 The House today called for the esti- mate of cotton yet to be ginned, which the director of the census has compiled, but which he has no authority to make pub lie until March. This action preclpitated a lively discussion, In which petulance was expressed that the House should par tiepate in furnishing information for the benefit of speculators. On the other hand. there were numerous members who stated that the substantial interests of grower. spinner and merchant made it imperative that such information should not be al- lowed to be bottled up. There was no op- position to the resolution on its passage
 crumpaoker Introduces Resolution. In presenting privileged resolution asking for the census bureau estimate of cotton not yet to be ginned, MT. crum- packer of Indiana at once elicited tho keen interest of members when the
 House met today. The resolution was introduced some time ago by MT. Sims of Tennessee. MT Crumpacker. as chairman of the census committee, said his conn mittee recommended the adoption of the resolution amended by asking the h. formation If not incompatible with tho public interest"
 Mr Crumpacker explained that the d. rector of the census had collected the in- formation sought, at the same time the last semi-monthly Inquiry was made as To | the quantity of cotton actually ginned up l to January l6.

YELLOW FEVER ONLY
 WILL BE TABOOED
SOUTHERN MEMBERS OF CON GREss HAVE NsoU5 AGREED ON THEE MEASURE TO REGULATE PLAGUE IN THE SOUTH.

Washington, February 1.-Members of special committee selected at d caucus of southern Senators and Representatives agreed on national quarantine bill which will be submitted to a general meeting tomorrow night of delegates from the states especially interested in national legislation to banish yellow fever. The bill incorporates many of the provisions of the measures introduced in the Senate by MT Mallory to give the federal au- thorities control of maritime quarantine but instead of protecting against conta. gious and infectious diseases" as the Mallory bill does, the committees meas ure limits the quarantine measures to yellow fever. Specific provisions are made in the committee bill for the cooperation of the public health and marine hospital service with state authorities in establish ing and maintaining interstate quarantine. This point was touched lightly by the committee as there Is great difference of opinion among interested members of both Houses as to how far federal author ities may legally regulate state affairs.
 After making detailed provisions as to the strict maritime quarantine to be main tained under the direction of the public health and marine hospital service, the bill provides for the increase of the sal ary of the surgeon general of this service to $7O00, and concludes with the follow ing compromise section, which contains the only reference in the bill to interstate quarantine:
 That the sum of $50OO0O is hereby ap, propriated out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated to be paid the requisition of the surgeon general of the public health and marine hospital service, approved by the Secre- tary of the Treasury for the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of this act as well as for the purpose of general ly preventing the importation of yellow fever into the United States, and for the further purposes in cooperation with the state health authorities or eradicating 1t should 1t be imported of preventing it's spread from one state into another, and of destroying its cause whenever the same may be foundv
 The special committee agreed unani- mously upon the measure and Represent tative John Sharp Williams, the minor ity leader of the House, said tonight that in his opinion the bill will be acceptable to the recent Chattanooga convention which adopted strong resolutions in favor of federal control of quarantine both upon land and water

DOMINICAN TREATY
 HAS GOOD CHANGE
VOTES OF FIVE DEMOCRATIC SEN AToRs ARE SAID TO BE WITH THE PRESIDENT ON THE MEAS URE.

Washington, February 1.-(Special.)-It is not so sure that the San Domingo treaty will fail of ratification in the Sen ate. The developments of the last four days seem to indicate that it will not fail. The declaration of Senator Patterson of Colorado yesterday that he would vote for the treaty has led the majority of the Senate to look around and discover If pos sible where they are. 1t is stated in rather positive language today that there are two other White House democrats who will vote for the treaty. They are Clarke of Arkansas and Simmons of North Carolina. As the latter Is out of the city there was no way of confirming the report but as he lauded the President and the Panama canal scheme in a speech in his state last night, he Is under grave suspicion. The report that the able and venerable Alabama Senator, John T. Mor- gan, would vote for the treaty was of course ridiculed, as Senator Morgan is the mist disgusted man in the country over the illegal acts of the executive de- partment and its constant encrouchments on the legislative functions of the gov ernment In addition to Patterson Clarke and Simmons, there Is another Senator from the south under strong suspicion of favorlng the treaty. Five democratic voters In the Senate will be necessary to secure ratification of the treaty Thus 1t will be seen that the position Is In doubt Senator McCreary made 1t plain today that he would oppose the treaty and as he made an hours speech last winter in the executive session of the Senate against It's ratification he cannot understand why he should not be above suspicion of favorlng It.
 Senator McEnery of Louisiana an nounees tonight that he will vote for the treaty, so everything indicates it's rati- hcation.

DON'T DOSE THE STOMACH.
Cure Catarrh by Breathing Hyomci-
Sold Under Guarantee by Tallman
a Co

There Is one treatment for nasal
catarrh which is based upon common
sense. and at the same time, is thor
oughly scientific.
Hyomei is not a cure-all: 1t Is a
specific for the cure OF catarrhal trou-
bles. Breathed through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, the aromatic healing of Hyo-
mel penetrates to the most remote
part of the nose, throat, and lungs,
healing all inflammation and killing
the catarrhal germ wherever present.
So successful has Hyomei been in
the cure of catarrh that Tallman &
Co sell 1t under n guarantee that 1t
will cost you nothing unless II gives
satisfaction. The complete Hyomei
outfit sells for 81, and consists of an
inhaler that can be carried in the
vest pocket, medicine dropper, and
n bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts
life time, and II more Hyomei Is
needed, extra bottles can be obtained
for so cents.
1t is the most economical of all
remedies advertised for the cure OF
catarrh and is the only one that
treats this disease without stomach
dosing. applying the medication and
healing where the disease germs are
present.
Do not dose the stomach to cure
nasal catarrh: breathe Hyomei, know
ing that IL this treatment does not
cure, II will cost you nothing.
