APPROPRIATION IS CUT OUT
Florida Senate objects to Negro Stu
dents Wearing Uniforms.

Tallahassee, Fla, June 5.-The
spirit which prompted the senate to
strike out $4,000 appropriation
from the funds allotted the negro agri-
cultural and mechanical college OF
this state was voiced by the speech
of Senator Cone.
"Take these brass buttons and
chevrons away from the negro boys
and make them plow the fields.
Think of it, men, negroes wearing
uniforms and walking around the
streets of our capital city Why. Mr..
President, have even seen them sit
ting up here In the senate. Negro
captains; yes, captains. We'd better
be making farmers out of them. Pat
ent leather shoes, red neckties, brass
buttons and chevrons are breeding in
the breast of every negro out there
the ambition to be Booker T. Wash
ington and eat at some white mans
table. It is not right to appropriate
to them all of this money to be used
In this way. Why, they even have
tennis courts out there. Why not
make them plow these courts up and
plant them in something. Let's make
them wear homespun shirts, jean
breeches and get in the fields and
plow."

Detroit, Mich, June 4.-Uniformity
in pure food regulations with the ma
tional pure food law as the standard
was the gist of resolution presented
by the legislative committee Of the
National Wholesale Grocers' associa.

The resolution strongly advocates
the amending OF all state laws to con-
form to the national act now In force,
the elimination of statutory stand
ards In the different states and the
substitution of system of determin.
Ing standards In conformity to the
methods now in use by the govern
ment. It is claimed that the present
difference in state regulation creates
confusion in interstate commerce and
makes 1t impossible to conduct such
business with any degree Of safety.

clares He Stands Ready to Accept

Philadelphia, June 5.-Prospects for
q settlement of the strike of the en-
ployes of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company are brighter than at
any time since the strike began. Both
sides have agreed to make conces-
sions and predictions are made that
there will be complete resumption
Of street car service shortly.
This situation has been brought
about by the Republican leaders OF
the city, whose plans for the coming
primary elections have been inter
fered with this week by the spirit OF
turbulence that spread over the city
IN the last three days.
After a conference In the city hall
Mayor Reyburn made public letter
addressed to John B. Parsons, presi.
dent of the Transit company, in which
he offered terms for settlement OF
the strike as follows:
"First-All former employees shall
be restored to their former positions

by which standard uniform adopted
by the company may be purchased
by your employees from any one of not
less than five reputable clothiers.

"Third-Your employees to form 6
representative body to consist OF one
of their number elected by a major
ity vote from each barn. which body
shall In turn designate a smaller
working committee of its own mem
bers, which shall from time to time
be accorded full opportunity to take
up with the proper officers of the
company any and all questions affect
ing the rights of employees.
"Fourth-This committee to take uI
at once with the management of the
company the schedules, with a view
OF making such changes In hours ant
working conditions as are consistent
with proper service to the public.
"Fifth-The rate of wages begin
ming July /, 1909, to be 22 cents al

OPENING Scene
QUITE PACIFIC
Expected Clash in Senate
Fails to Materialize.
ATTENDANCE VERY LARGE

and Nearly All Were in Their Seats
When the GaveI FeIl-La Toilette
Refers Briefly to Events of Preced-
ing Session, but His Remarks Are
Friendly and Mo Storm Follows.
Washington, June 5.-No one was
required to call for a quorum when
the senate met Events of the preyi-
Gus night in respect to personal ref
srences to Senator La Toilette had
caused feeling that storm was brew
ing and nearly every senator was
present when the senate met.
Contrary to general expectation
ehe opening scene. when Mr.. La Fol-
lette took the floor, was quite pacific
Mr.. La Toilette and Mr.. Gallinger had
q friendly exchange Of words relating
to refusal of the Wisconsin senator to
yield to Mr.. Gallinger for q question.
Mr.. La Toilette said he had not
been sick, but after holding the floor
over five hours did not feel in condi-
tion to continue at night and had re-
manned at home to rest. He called
attention to the fact that there were
other senators who might have
spoken, including Mr.. Aldrich, who
had promised an explanation of the
cotton schedule. Turning towards
Mr.. Aldrich Senator La Toilette re-
marked that that senator "stood upon
this floor as any other senator"
HE forgets it sometimes" added
Mr.. La Toilette. Then, referring to
the session of the previous evening
as sensational" to such an extent as
to obscure the debate which had pre-
ceded, Senator La Toilette turned to
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, who
sat on the opposite side of the cham
ber facing Mr.. La Toilette.
Suggests Task for Penrose.
"As to the remarks of the senator
from Pennsylvania" said Senator La
Toilette, Il would suggest that he
would render more important serv-
ice to the country and to his state If
he would account for the way he
spends his time when absent from
this body than In any effort to make
an account for my time"
Sitting upright and leaning forward
Mr.. Penrose gave close attention to
every word of the senator from Wis
consin. The possibility of a severe
clash between the two senators
caused their colleagues on both sides
OF the chamber to shift eyes from one
opponent to the other. The galleries
were crowded, but the stiffness was

Mr.. Penrose, interrupting, referred
to an article In magazine published
by the senator from Wisconsin as mis-
representing the speaker and Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Penrose was promptly
answered by Mr. La Toilette, who
said the statements we're taken from
q newspaper and when denied by that
publication were promptly withdrawn
by Mr.. La Follstte's.
Mr.. La Toilette then proceeded with
his analysis of the tariff bill.
