He WILL PROSECUTE
BLEACHtRS OF FLOUR
secretary Wilson Says Report of Inn
munity by Agreement is Untrue.

Washington, July 13.--Secretary
Wilson OF the agricultural department
said today that the report thar he ana
SO licitor Bowers of the department OF
Justice had entered into an agreement
not TO prosecute millers who use tns
bleaching process in the manufacture
Of flour was inaccurate. The secretary
sent a letter on that subject TO Rep
reseutatiye Scott, chairman of TIA
House committee on agriculture,
Mr.. Scott, in a letter to Mr.. Wilson,
had informed the secretary that it
mad been represented that there
should be two or three test cases
pending which there would be no
prosecution of Nebraska millers who
continue the bleaching process, nor OF
their customers who purchase bleach
ed flour
In his letter, Mr.. Wilson says that
he has made no arrangement with
anyone.

TEST OF RIFltMtN
HAS Been ORDERED
The Army May Want TO Know Wheth-
er Musketry Is More Effec-
tive Than Machine Guns.

Washington, July 13.-An import
Snt test Is 10 take place at the Army
81 hcol OF musketry at the Preside
of Monterey as the result of claims
whicn have been made by experts to
the effect that platoon of infantry
or cavalry armed with a rifle is more
efficient so far as firing is concerned
than machine gun platoons. In the
firing which has hitherto been held,
the results are by no means conclu-
slve. With the facilities existing at the
scnool of musketrv, the practical DEM
onstration will be possible under
proper observation.
Another question which has been
submitted to the commandant OF the
school of musketry requires expert
mental firing for the purpose of de-
termining whether 1t is practicable
10 use machine guns effectively over
troops on level ground. OF course, II
will not be necessary to make use
of the soldiers over whom to fire, the
equivalent being screen OF proper
height, zoo feet in front, which will
permit of sufficient accurate observa-
tions for the question.

Connor is planning, it is said, TO come
cut for the United States senatorial
nomination.
senator La Toilette is fully aware
a. what is going on in Wisconsin. He
is satisfied that the fight made up on

canoe and is only part OF a national
fight against him and the principles
which he says he represents. As soon

SOUTHERN FARMERS
ARE ADDING CROPS

New York, July ia greater di-
versihcation of agriculture is attrlb-
Uted for the prosperity which the
south is enjoyine by President w w.
Finley Of the Southern railway. After
attending directors meeting here
and before starting for Washington
MI, Finley said that the higher prices
oe wheat had led the southern farmer
to grow crops other than that of cot
ton and this had been such a great
success that the continued prosperity
of the southern states was assured.
This fact and the large increase in
cotton manufactures had brought
much money into that section. Cotton
mills in the south had proved SO sue
cessful. said Mr.. Finley that many
others were now being built and that
there was bound to be a decrease OF
raw cotton shipped TO the New Eng
land mills and possibly to the Liver
pool market.

TO the constitution TO the various
states. The vote was 317 to IA, more
than the necessary two thirds. and
the only votes against the resolution
came from republican members. The
democrats voted solidly for the reso-
luton.
Preceding a vote on the resolution,
the debate lasted four hours and this
gave every member an opportunity to
express his views. The democratic
speakers all favored the resolution
but expressed the opinion that the
republicans were stealing democratic
principles, on the ground that the
democratic platform for the past
twelve years have favored an income
tax Champ Clark of Missouri. leader
of the democrats, was especially urg-
ent that his was the case. He also
expressed himself in favor Of increas-
ing the amount of exemption above

said he would want time to think ii
over.
Chairman Payne expressed the be-
| lief that such an amendment would
make the United states a nation of
liars. though he favored giving Con-
gress the power to secure additional
revenue by this method.
| Congressman Henry attempted to
amend the resolution and secure action

tions but his efforts were defeated.

House Will Probably Make Fight
10 Reduce Tariff 49, TAFT
Plans TO Make Changes
Ia Corporation
Tax.

Washington, July 13.-The confer
ees on the tariff bill this morning
took up the lumber schedules. 1t is
expected the House will make a
strong fight for dollar lumber, which
was defeated in the House. After a
short discussion, the lumber schedule
will probably be put over until later.
Members of the senate Finance
committee are preparing statement
in reply to charges that the Senate
amendments will result in increasing
the cost of wooden and cotton cloth
ing, shoes and other necessities. The
statement will show the rates on shoes
reduced, and no increase on woolens
and cottons. A list of 500 decreases
will follow and 10 increases, an effort
being made to show that the latter are
really not increases but provisions
for the collection of rates fixed by the
Dingley law, set aside by misinter-
probation.
VIII Cut the Rate.
Washington, July 13.--It has been
practically decided that in the cor
poration tax amendment, the rate viii
be cut from 1 per cent and that
mutual insurance companies Will be
given the benefit of changes in the bill
whereby their incomes will not be
affected. This conclusion was reached
after a number of conferences be-
tween President Taft, senators and
representatives and members of the
cabinet who are engaged in redraft-
ing the corporation tax amendment
so that it will not conflict with cons
titutional provisions.
President Taft is the center of these
conferences and is taking an active
part in conciliating the leaders OF
Senate and House in the controversy
over this part of the tariff bill.

P0ULTRYSHOW BElNGPUSHED
C,ty's Guaranty to Poultry As
sociation.


Efforts are being put forth by a
committee Of the Business Mems club
to secure funds for the poultry show
to be held here next month. The
committee consists of George White,
Eugene Bangs and Harry Jones. Thus
far their efforts have been very sue
cessful and it is believed little diff
Guilty will be experienced in securing
the 5000 pledged. The poultry show
is somewhat Of a novelty in Rapid
City as it is the first ever held here.
But on account of its entertaining,
Instructive and helpful nature is des-
tined to prove of much real benefit.
Already the management of the show
has guaranteed to have at least 1000
birds on exhibition, and the indica-
tions are the number will be greatly
increased, several people in the city
taking interest sufficient to arrange
exhibits. There will be upwards OF
100 classes of birds exhibited and
special and general prizes will be Of
fered in all classes. The poultry fan.
ciers of this section will be here and
many able advocates of poultry rails.
| ing will present the benefits of the
Industry. It's hoped every farmer
| and rancher in the Hills will be pres
ent, witness the exhibit and profit by
