The two chief tests are weight and

Fragrance is the best test to give to
berries, as those without that delicate
aroma should be regarded with sus-

Mr.. Ardmore, from a bench in the

absorption. There was no manner of

Changes Discussed.

A number of important changes in the
bill introduced by Chairman Scott were
discussed. The subcommittee decided to
incorporate provision, substantially sim
liar to one of the sections of the Elkins
act, relating to immunity. Under the
laws in many states and under some
federal legislation witnesses cannot be
compelled to incriminate themselves. An
amendment which the subcommittee de-
cided to put into the bill will require
such witnesses to testify. but will exempt
them from prosecution, and Is designed
to enable the prosecuting authorities to
get at facts which otherwise they would
be unable to reach.
Another conclusion was to redraft the
language relating to the transmission OF
matter concerning anti-options SO that
ONLY such mail as it is intended to reach
in the effort to estop the promotion OF
futures transactions shall be affected.
