Representative Campbell, OF Kansas,
made defense OF the PsyDe tariff bill
In the House by pointing to the "nis-
cry" which hiss followed democratic
tariff. He charged that only the Idle
lich aud those who produce nothing to

on the interest of government bonds de-
sire democratic tariff.
A strong argument In favor OF ptut-
ralizstion and non forti6cslion OF the

10 reply TO question By Mr. Long
worth Mr.. Underwood said that he saw
no necessity either for tariff board as
provided for In the suudry civil bill nor
for an Gu -sud.out tariff commission not
u 1der the control OF Congress.
Mr.. Tswney asked him later II be hsd
any reason for believing that the presi-
dent would withhold suy facts ascertain
ed through the tariff board until he wss
ready to send them to OoDgress.
Mr.. Underwood replied that he was
justified 10 go assuming because the
president had advocated the corporation
lax law in order that the corporation
,etu'ns might be made public aud that
after the re urus bad been collected
they we're net made public. He charged
that this WAS the result OF the "con-
spirscS" between the PRESIDENT and
mem bers of the appropriation committee.

Mr.. Underwood announced the demo-
cratic opposition 10 the Tswney tariff
board provision In the suudry civil bill
during q speech 10 the II use today. He
based bis opposition to this provision on
the ground 1t gives The president too
much power, allows him to withhold any
facts bis board may gather aud compels
Congress to adopt his recommendations
because they will be unable TO collect
other data. He declared that the pro
vision should specify either that all 6od.

NEW COINS FOR CANADA.
Silver Dollar and Five Dollar Gold
 Piece Among Them.

Silver Dollar and Five Dollar Gold
 Piece Among Them.
 Never in the history of Canada has there been silver piece larger than a half dollar. Never has there been any gold coin.
 But Canada is to have two new me- diums of exchange in the near future. Heretofore the fifty cent piece has been the largest silver coin. Now a silver dollar much like the American dollar in bullion, value and size is be- ing coined; also five dollar gold piece after the standard of the United States. This is an improvement on the English gold five dollar coin, which standard is fractionally less in intrin- sic value.
 Up to the present time the only gold money used in Canada has been Amer ican. The five dollar American gold piece has been used at full value. The new Canadian five dollar gold piece will no doubt be used at its full value , in the United States.

Control of Boring Sea Colony Affects
 Birth Rate.
 A spffragist paradise has been dis covered in a faroff Alaskan isle. Here the wife and mother rules the house hold, according to l.. l.. Bales, old time hunter and guide. who learned the facts while taking the census of the isle
 Nunivak island, a low, marshy bit of land lying in Boring sea just off the Alaska coast, between the mouths of the Yukon and the Kuskokwim riv- CTS, is the home of the male rulers.
 The population of the island is ITO souls. The men outnumber the wom- en. Children are a rarity. This low birth rate is believed to be caused by the powerful command the women have over all domestic matters, which seems to have the effect of disturbing the functions of the mother. In the last ten years, according to the emu merator, there have been but twenty weddings. and but seven children have been born in that time.
 He predicts that in another ten years the last trace of the older generations of this and many other native tribes in Alaska will be wiped out from de- generation and race suicide brought about by the predominating influence the women have over the men.

WEST RICH IN PHOSPHATE.
Wyoming, Idaho and Utah Lands
 Withdrawn From Entry.

Wyoming, Idaho and Utah Lands
 Withdrawn From Entry.
 A recent report of the geological sur vey shows that in the northwest coun- try of Idaho, Wyoming and Utah the United States possesses probably the largest and richest phosphate deposits in the world. From surveys recently cast up in totals these deposits show evidences of 267 100000 tons of high grade phosphate rock, while the chances are that millions more tons may be added to this total before the pay rock is exhausted.
 These deposits show the rock in peb- ble formation, closely cemented in masses and containing some calcite. These round particles vary from mi croscopic size to pebbles half an inch in diameteK. In color the phosphate rock ranges from Il gray to jet black, the black probably due to car boniferous matter.
 All public lands suspected of con taining valuable deposits of phosphate now are withdrawn from public entry until such time as the value of the deposits is tested, preserving the status of the land until congress shall take action.

FALL RIVER TO CELEBRATE
 SPINNING ANNIVERSARY.
Massachusetts City Now Second In
 Worlds Cotton Manufactures.

The one hundredth anniversary of cotton manufacturing in Fall River, Mass, is approaching, and the occasion will probably be celebrated by some demonstration beftting the largest cot ton manufacturing center in this coun- try and the second largest in the world.
 It was in 1911 that Colonel Joseph Durfee promoted the first cotton mill in what is now Fall River, then the town of Troy. The original mill is standing, somewhat remodeled as the result of fire in 1843, and is used as a storehouse.
 The mill was in operation as cot ton mill for about fourteen years and was afterward used as a printing mill. Just how many processes were car ried on in this old mill 100 years ago cannot be said, but probably the yarn was spun on the crude frames then in operation to very limited extent.
 It is said that the cotton, which came from the south in sailing packets, was distributed around the neighbor- hood and hand carded and taken to the mill for spinning. Then the yarn was sent out to people near by who owned hand looms and was there woven into cloth and returned to the mill for sale and distribution.
 The first Durfee mill was not much of a financial success, but 1t set the ball rolling and helped to build up a spindle city noted for its strong fnan- cial position and its able organizations of manufactures of cotton.
 Since the first Durfee mill was financed by Fall River residents home investors have been liberal supporters of cotton manufacturing enterprises, and today thirty corporations op- crate 3,90O,00O spindles capitalized at about $31, ,OOO, ,OO0

He wanted to enter in the twenty mile international team race at Madison Square Garden but could not procure for a partner an Englishman whom he thought was fast enough or possessed of sufficient staying qualities to go through such a grueling contest
 Spectators at the opening nights meet of the annual indoor national championships of the Amateur Athletic union in Madison Square Garden, New l ork, saw Platt Adams of the New York Athletic club hang up a new worlds pole vault record for distance Dan Ahearne and Con Walsh made American indoor figures for the run ming hop, step and jump and the fifty six pound weight throW for height re- spectively.
 Frank Mantell easily outpointed Jim Smith at the Fairmont Athletic club in New York. In fact he handled his opponent so roughly that Smiths sec onds threw up the sponge in the sev- enth round of the ten round bout. Smith was aggressive and game, but his swings were wild, so that Mantell stepped in with vicious left jab time and again until he had his man ready to drop.
 Frankie Burns, the Jersey bantam, stepped a rung nearer the top of the championship ladder when he out fought Tommy Houck, the Philadel- phia scrapper, in their ten round bout at the Olympic club in New York. Burns broke the long winning streak of the Slowtown boy. Houck, though defeated, was far from disgraced.
 Manager Charles s. Dooin mailed his resignation as manager of the Philadelphia National league baseball team to Horace s. Fogel, the president of the club, as result of a contro- versy over the exchange of players with the Cincinnati club. Dooin un- der his contract remains catcher of the team. @".
