Washington, May 17.-Unfavorable
weather throughout the country prevailed
during the last week, much to the detri-
ment of all kinds of crops, according to
the weekly weather bureau bulletin, is
sued today on the conditions Of crops 1t
says:
Much cloudy weather prevailed over the
central valleys, especially the middle Mis-
sissippi and Ohio valleys and middle At
lantic states. Farm work over this re-
gion has been greatly retarded by un-
favorable weather and vegetation made
little progress on account of cold frost
and lack Of warm sunshine.
Over the more northern districts there
was g. general lack Of rain, and vegeta-
ton and farming operations made little
progress.
Over the cotton states there was suri-
cient sunshine. but the weather was gen
orally too cool for rapid planting south.
Rain is needed in nearly all portions OF
the region. Some good rains occurred In
northern Texas, but the greater portions
OF the state has been without material
precipitation for several weeks.

CHARGES AGAINST
TAFT AND TAWNEY

Washington, May 17.-Chairman
Tawney of the House appropriations
committee and President Taft were
charged with conspiracy not to give
publicity to the facts gathered in con-
nection with the corporation tax in q
speech delivered in the House today
by Representative Underwood of Ala
bama.
Mr.. Underwood attacked the provi-
sion in the sundry service bill to en-
able the President to have informant tion
classified, tabulated and arranged for
his use in recommending any tariff
changes to Congress-
Mr.. Underwood saw no necessity for
a tariff board, 1t is asserted and he
contended that a year ago the Presi-
dent told Congress it was importani
to tax corporations not because money
was needed for the Payne bill was 60
ing to raise all the revenue needed
but to tax corporations for the purpose
of publicity.
Mr.. Underwood said the publicity had
not been given though there was ample
opportunity in one of the appropriation
bills afforded.
