SM0OT'S AMENDMENT
To Postal Savings Bank Bill objec-
tionable to President.

Senator Smoot Of Utah was invited
to the White House and President
Taft urged him to move for a re-
consideration of the vote by which
the senate adopted Mr.. Smoot's
amendment to the postal savings bank
bill. and to permit the amendment to
be withdrawn
The Smoot amendment provides
for the deposit in banks within the
state where the postal funds are re-
ceived by postmasters, and in the con-
tngency that the banks should refuse
to accept the deposits on the terms
offered the funds on being sent to the
United States treasury under the gen
era, provisions of the bill are to be
Invested In government securities and
other approved state, municipal and
local securities.
President Taft told Senator Smoot
that he feared that the proposed
amendment II 1t remained in the bill
would make the law unconstitutional.
Senator Smoot did not agree with
the president but said frankly that he
would not insist on his amendment if
the president and his legal advisers
were convinced that it might impair
the constitutionality of the proposed
legislation.

Prohibition Would Have Serious Con-
sequences, Committee Was Told.

If dealing in grain futures is prohib.
tied there will be chaos in produce
business circles, according to former
President Fitch of the Chicago board
of trade, who appeared before the
house committee on agriculture.
THAT would he just the result If
this committee bill prohibiting deal
ings in futures became a law" said
Mr.. Fitch Eve would have to do
business or a large margin. Person
ally would have to reconstruct every
financial interest that | have in the
West The chaos would stretch all
the way from the farmer to the ex-
porter"
While talking about grains Mr..
Fitch incidentally made the predic-
tion that unless congress wants the
country to go hungry, it must remove
the duty from wheat"
John Messmore of st. Louis told
the committee the proposed legisla-
tion would have serious consequences.
The witnesses who appeared before
the committee included delegates from
the grain exchanges in Chicago. st.
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Mime

AVOID ROOSEVELT INCIDENT
Catholic Dignitarles, Mindful Of Fair
banks, Confer on Visit,

Rome, Feb. 22.-Mgr. Kennedy had
a long interview with Cardinal Merry
Del Val, the papal secretary of state
on the Fairbanks incident and also
on the prospect arising in connection
with ex-Pres.dent Roosevelt's visit
Colonel Roosevelt also has promised
to make an address before the Ameri
can Methodist body here, and, al
though the Vatican authorities are in
tensely anxious to honor MIN, the
pope must adhere to the precedent
he has set In the Fairbanks case.
IF Colonel Roosevelt's audience witt
the pope Is arranged Immediately upoI
his arrival in Rome he will be free tc
address the Methodist society after
ward.
The Vatican authorities are anxious
to have II understood that their oh
lection Is not to any Protestant visl
tor addressing his own co-relgionists
but that, owing to the methods OF
this particular community and its at
titude to The Vatican, it Is impossible
for pope with any self,respect to re
ceive anybody who Identifies himself
with these methods.

CREAKING FLOOR
CLEARS COURTROOM
Girls Accused Of Fighting ON
Train Draw Big Crowd.

Irwin, Pa, Feb. 22.-The swapping
of rafters and creaking of the floor
at the courtroom of Justice ]. c. Fred.
erick precipitated a rush for safety
among patrons in barber shop be-
low, while the crowd that packed the
courtroom lost no time in getting out
the door and the session was ad
journed without formality.
The unusual throng was attracted
by testimony expected in hearings
growing out of alleged personal en-
counters among young women of this
vicinity employed at the Westing-
house shops in East Pittsburg. Some
thing like a feud is said to have exist
ed during the past week, eliminating
Friday night, it is said, in hand-to-
hand battle on the train bringing the
girls home from work, and on the sta
ton platform at Larimer. Faces are
reported to have been scratched,
while wraps aud millinery suffered.
Larimer girls swore out warrants
before Justice Frederick charging two
girls of Larimer, and another girl Of
Irwin, with assault and battery.
Across the hall in Justice Thomas
Miles court another Larimer girl
charged the same defendants with as.
sault and battery and surety Of the
peace. While awaiting belated wit
nesses the floor started to give way,
and the cases were continued until
next Saturday, when spectators will
be barred, according to the officials.

MANY IN HOSPITAL S
IN Account of S'r ct Car Riots
In Philadelphia.

Rapid Transit Company Sent All Of Its
Cars to the Barns Sunday After
noon - Widespread Violence Of
Present Strike Unequaed by Any
thing Seen In the Strike of Nine
Months Ago Which Was Settled by
Compromise.
The hospitals in Philadelphia are
badly overcrowdeG with persons who
were shot or beaten in the car strike
riots that spread vlciously all over
1burban Philadelphia Sunday and
unday night. AT least 100 got in
the way Of bullets or bricks or paw
ing stones, and half of these were
hurt seriously.
The outlook was so alarming late
IN the afternoon, when the Philadel
phia Rapid Transit company witIS
drew every one Of its cars from SER
vice and sent them to the barns, that
Mayor Reyburn authorized Henry
Clay, the director of public safety, to
recruit 1000 extra policemen If pos
sible The regular force of $500 was
Utterly unable to smother the trouble.
There Is distinct fear that Clay
md Tim O'Leary even with 1000 eX-
IRA men may not be able to make the
trcets safe fer citizens. There was
lever a day in the strike of nine
months ago when things looked as
ugly as they did last night.
The widespread violence that broke
cut in twenty places at once during
the twenty-four hours has indicated to
those familiar with the attitude of the
company and of the strikers that un'
less somebody with a strong hand
steps in, Philadelphia is in for big
trouble.
Briefly, the situation is just this:
The former strike was settled by
compromise that pleased nobody. The
rapid transit company and tie strlk-
ars were brought together by Jim Nc
Nichols, the Republican boss, because
IN election was imminent and Phil
ldelphia was disgusted with the atti-
tude of the machine. The company
knew that the fight was being delayed
merely, aud it went to work to fortify
itself against the time when it could
refuse to compromise.
In South Philadelphia alone twenty
persons were 50 badly hurt that they
had to be sent to the hospitals Here,
as elsewhere all over the rim of the
city, many We hurt whose names
the police could not even attempt to
get ard whose injuries were treated
in drug stores or at their own homes.
The estimate of cne hundred furnish
ed by the police. included only those
who got hospital treatment.

PRICE OF MEAT TO DECLINE
If Farmers Resort to Increased Pro-
duction of Livestock, Says Ryan.

Michael Ryan, president OF the
Cincinnati Abbatoir company and one
of the organizers of the American
Meat Packers association, was a
witness before the federal grand jury
at Chicago After he left the grand
jury room he spoke of the meat pack
inc industry and declared that a
shortage of crops and the raising of
too few animals for slaughter were
responsible for the present high prices
Of meat Though he would not say
so, It was understood that in effect
he told the grand jury the same thing.
Mr. Ryan declared that the prices
of meats would decline to a normal
basis within one year if the coming
seasons crops were plentiful and if
the farmers resorted to increased pro-
1uction of livestock in view of the
present high prices. He said the an
nual sales OF meats amount to about
81, 300, ,000.009, of which amount 60 per
cent is sold by the Independent deal
ers. and further that the meat business
was SO extensive that it was impos-
sible for any one organization to con-
troll 1t.
