La ciudad de Adana

Adana, teatro de recientes
escenas espantosas, de las cua-
les dimos cuenta q nuestros
lectores- en- anteriores edicio-
nes,es una ciudad de so mil
habitantes, de los que Sc con-
sldera son turcos unos 20mil
y grlegos y armenios los res
tantes, capital del eyaleto
de su nombre; situada en- la
orilla del Leihan (antigua-
mente Sarus) en- una vasta
llanura de unos $50 mil hecta
reas, muy fertil, con iardines,
plantaciones de algodon y Ca
ia de azdcar. Dista unos so
kilometres del mar, cerca del
golfo de Alenjandreta, al N.

de Haleb, unida por un ferro-
carril de via estrecha con Mer
slna, que es su puerto. Duran

cado en- otro tempo. Su china
es muy calido, ,pero insalubre.
En- Adana no existe, como en-
otras ciudades de Oriente, un

WILL MODIFY THE LUMBER TAX
 IN PAYNE BILL
Provision for Maximum and Minimum Will Be
 Changed Before Passage.
Especial from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 Washington, April 1.-The Ways and Means committee of the House has ap- parently seen a great light. It be- came known today that the committee has decided to modify the lumber pro vision of the Payne bill. As framed at present the bill provides for maxi mum rates on all forest products coTn- ing from any country or precinct that puts tax or restriction on the expor- tation of any lumber product. AS modified the maximum rates will ap- ply only to such particular lumber products as are taxed for export by the foreign country or province.
 Under the Payne bill as at present, if any province of Canada should tax toothpicks for export the United States would collect the max xinnum duty not only on toothpickS but also on saw logs, boards and every other form of lumber product coming from that pro- vince. Under the modification. the maximum rates would apply only to toothpicks; and the other forms of lumber products would come in under the minimum rates so long as there is no tax on the export of these pro- ducts.
 Moreover, Representative Gaines. of West Virginia, a Republican member of the Ways and Means committee, during the course of a speech in the House today strongly intimated that the majority of the committee had al- so decided to revoke the proposed un- popular tax on tea There are also indications that the duty on coffee will also be stricken from the bill by the cOmmittee.
