Probe Into His Case Gets Chief
Attention
A THREE CORNERED Fight
NORRIS, REPRESENTING AMER
CAN NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION
TALKS IN FAVOR OF REclPRocI-
TY - DISCUSSES THE PULP
QUESTION.

Washington, May 24.--John Norris,
representing the American Newspaper
Publishers association was again be-
fore the senate finance committee In

hill today Mrh Norris declared that
the Root agreement to the bill, pro-
viding that the paper clause Of the
measure should not be In force until
the president proclaims that wood pulp

of Canada free of duty, would post
pone indefinitely the date OF the APP
plication of the treaty.
Lorin1er Case Paramount.
Lorimer case. which occupied most
of the time of the senate during the
last regular session and thus became
a material factor in bringing about the
extra session, again has taken preced-
ence in the upper house of congress
over matters of pending legislation.
The senate membership appears to be
almost unanimously determined that a
new inquiry into the circumstances of
Senator Lorimer's elevtion is inpera-
tive
The question as to how the reinvest-
igation shall be conducted is far from
being determined, however, and
promises to provoke a great deal OF
discussion. Three resolutions already
have been introduced They came from
the three political divisions of the SEN
ate, the insurgent republicans, the
regular republicans and the democrats
Senator LaFollettte promised today
to continue, for several hours, his dis
cussion of the Lorimer matter in gen.
era.l and his advocacy of his resolution
putting the new primary into the
hands of five new senators. The Del
bingham and Martin resolutions, leave
the conduct of the inquiry to the regu-
lar committee on privileges and cleo
tions. With house adjourned unit
Friday, legislative affairs in that
branch Of congress were confined tc
committees.

BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
DEMOCRATS PUT THROUGH TAFT
SCHEME 265 TO 80.
President Given Power to Secure Still
Freer Trade Relations With Can
d in Reciprocal Form.

Observation-Disclosures Taft's Cana
dian reciprocity agreement, supported
by all but a handful of Democrats, and
opposed by "a majority of the Republi-
cans, passed the house of representatives
Friday by a vote of 265 to 80. With
nearly 200 Democrats in control and
their action indorsed by a large body of
the Republicans, the bill to put the
agreement IN force was adopted with no
amendments, and in almost identically
the form in which it passed the house
III the last session OF the preceding con-
gress.
The bill seeks to put into effect the
formal agreement reached between Pres
ident Taft and members of the Cana
dian cabinet, for a reduction of tariff
rates on many articles and free trade
IN many others, across the Canadian
border. Added to it by the Democratic
leaders, is a section which "authOrizeS
and requests" President Taft to make
further efforts to secure still freer trade
relations with Canada in the form of
additional reciprocal relations.
The passage of the bill marked the
close of a fight that had ragged in the
house for six days. During that time the
safety of the measure was at no time
threatened, but the Democratic and Re
publican leaders working for it's passage
conceded all the opportunity desired by
its opponents for debate and protest.
Following the same policy, amend
ments were admitted in the house for
almOst every section of the bill, and in
each case they were rejected by an over
w%helming vote given by the friends of
on the theory that any amendment
would nullify it. Ten Democrats voted
against the bill on its passage, while 1877
democrats voted for it. As in the case
when the bill passed at the preceding
session of congress, a majority of the
Republicans were found against it, the
party vote being 81 for and rs opposed.

INCOME TAX SEEMS SURE
Thirty States Have Adopted Joint Reso-
lutions for Ratification.

Washington.-The income tax amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States now seems assured. Thirty states
have adopted joint resolutions for 1at;fi-
cation of the amendment and favorable
action by five more state legislatures
now is needed to complete the r~atifica-
ton.
Supporters of the. amendment feared
about the time congress convened next
December that it would not receive the
necessary approval of three-fourths of
the legislatures, but that fear has been
dispelled. Several states that were at
one time unfriendly are showing an in
ciination to favor the amendment. Last
year Massachusetts and New York re-
jected it, but it has already passed one
branch of each state assembly, and it is
PREDICTED that the amendment will be
ratified by the legislatures of both
states i'll a few days.

"ECZEMA ITCHED so
COULDN'T STAND IT."

Il suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by
little pimples breaking out. l kept
scratching till the blood came. 1t
kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep
nights any more. It kept itching for
about a month, then l went to a doc
tor and got some liquid to take. It
seemed as If I "a going to get bet
ter. The itching stopped for about
three days, but when it started again
was ever worse than before. The &C.
zema itched SO badly 1 couldn't stand
it any more. I went to a doctor and
he gave me some medicine, but it
didn't do any good. We have been
having Cuticura Remedies in the
house, so l decided to try them. I
had been using Cuticura Soap, so I
got me a box Of Cuticura Ointment,
and washed off the affected part with
Cuttcura Soap three times a day, and
then put the Cuticura Ointment on.
The first day I put it on, 1t relieved
me of itching SO I could sleep all that
night. 1t took about a week, then I
could see the scab come of. l kept
the treatment up for three weeks, and
my eczema vas cured.
my brother got his face burned
with gunpowder, and he used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. The peo-
pie all thought he would have scars,
but you can't see that he ever had
his face burned. 1t was simply awful
to look at before the Cuticura Rem
edies (Soap and Ointment) cured it."
