SHIP subsidy legislation is dead Tor
the present session of Congress, at least
and probably for two years. 1t now
takes a two-thirds vote to pass legisla'
ton through the House, and it has
been doubtful whether even majority
Of the House favored the bill which
passed the Senate. The democrats
have always opposed such legislation,
and, as they will control the House for
the next two years, the prospect OF leg
islation during that time is not good.
The bill got through the Senate by the
failure of one democrat to be in his
seat when the vote was taken.

TIE wolf story published in yester-
davis Gazette was one Of the most
extraordinary on record and was read
with suspicion by many people. The
dispatch was sent from Vienna ana
stated that one hundred and eighteen
people and sixty-two horses had been
deyoured by wolves in Russia. Ihe
victims we're o bri and groom and
one hundred and xteen guests OF
the wedding who were attacked while
making a journey OF twenty miles in
sledges. All the wolves in Russia
must have met and formed q pack OF
several thousand in order to have
wrought such havoc.

senate Agreements

Washington, March 6.-Peace brood
ed over the Senate today and the war
Of words which has waged in the uppe.
BODY for q week was gone. The truce
involved an agreement, as follows: A
vote on the lorimer case at $50 to-
day. Disposition OF the tariff com
mission bill before March 4. Night
aud day sessions for the remainder OF
the session in order to clean the appro-
priation bills. Increase OF postage
rate on magazines to be dropped.
Canadian reciprocity did not figure in
the compact. Peacemaking senators
are still working with refractory col
leagues to arrive at some agreement on
this, the most combustible ingredient
in the mess out Of which leaders hope
70 strain the legislative program.
Most Of the old timers around the Cap
itol today had sanguine hopes that an
extra session could be obviated, basing
their predictions on !, gentleman's
government, which rumor says formed
sort OF protocol TO the articles Of
peace. Nobody seems to know just
what the agreement is, but it is known
that steps will be taken to eliminate
disputed items in appropriation bills,
and that, with this understanding,
there is general feeling against any
further flibuster. Advocates Of the
constitutional amendment for direct
election of senators, which was defeated
yesterday, today stated that the matter
would be brought over again N the
next Senate Senator Borah, the fore
most advocate Of direct elections, de-
clared today that the fight had only
begun, aud that It would be waged
hereafter unremittiDely.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAR.
TIE conclusion reached by the Illi-

THE conclusion reached by the ILL
nos pellagra commission, after year
of exhaustive experimentation, IS that
this mysterious and dangerous disease
is not caused by the eating OF corn.
The experiments virtually elimated all
the supposed causes Of the disease. Inc
theory that the disease is infectious was
disproved by the experiments with
monkeys. The nature Of the tests was
to give one squad OF patients an exces-
siye corn diet and another no corn al
all. The former developed four cases
OF pellagra, but the latter FIVE. Skin
tests with extracts made from good
corn and spoiled corn on well-dehneo
cases of the disease showed no effect
whatever. Corn mold cultures were
used on guinea pigs, but without show
ing any connection between corn and
pellagra.

FROM WASHINGTO n

President Taft told callers at the
White House that ii he had reason to
believe there was a political deal on in
the Senate TO defeat reciprocity he
would call Congress into extra session.
Reports of a compromise on the part
of democrats involving the defeat Of the
Mccall bill by vote this week incensed
the president. He Immediately sent
back message TO the capitol by .
trusted senator that extra session was
Inevitable unless there were fair play

men we're arrested in as many cities,

Urging that the proposed increase in
postal rates on magazines be deferred
until thorough investigation has been
made, delegation of fifteen magazine
publishers, headed by I. J. Zimmerman
of the system. called upon President
Taft today. The delegation declared that
it was not in sympathy with the bitter
advertising campaign vaged against
the administration measure by certain
other well known magazine publishers,
but merely ask for a careful consldera-
ton OF the question on its merits. The
magazines publishers today folded their
tents secure in the knowledge that the
plan 10 force an increased postal rate
on their publications is dead, To OBJ
