New York, June 21.-Before leav-
ing for the Yale commencement, at
New Haven, President Taft sent to

he failed to establish the curative quail
tiles of the medicine, so long as the
label complied with the law in pub
fishing truthfully the chemical con-
tents of the remedy. President Taft
wants Congress to pass further legis-
lation providing that no misbranding

"GRAND BALL"
STORY A JOKE
The Published Report" Has Caused
A Wrong Impression With
Some-The Facts.

The report in last Saturdays News
in regard to the opening Of Rawis
Springs with "a grand BALI has caused
a wrong impression to be made oil
some of the b;"hllc who saw the ac-
count.
This report was given in by one of
the gentlemen who was a party to the
so-called dance, and was given purely
as joke and so intended by the par
ties to 1t. However, some folks ac-
cepted it as a fact and have censured
the members of the party, many of
whom are leaders in the church, and
has caused no little embarrassment
and many explanations. The whole
affair was a burlesque. There was no
ball. nor did the parties mentioned
take part in any dance. Several Hat
tiesburg families are staying while
at Rawls Springs and on the night the
alleged dance was given q couple of
negro musicians dropped by, and for
a short time after supper the mem
bers of these families sat under the
trees, on the old pavilion, and enjoyed
music and the breezes. The younger
folks frolicked and cut few steps,
but nothing approaching a dance was
had.
The report of the affair was pub
lished at the request and upon the in,
sistence of the gentleman who gave il
in, The News demurring at the time .

Wool Tariff Bill Adopted
By House; Vote 22I to 100

he stated, was to give the American
people protection from the "worsted
trust" by making free chose articles
which enter into the manufacture of
trust controlled wooden products"
Wool Duty Cut in Half.
The bill places a duty of 20 per
cent ad valorem on raw wool imports
as against an average duty of a little
more than A per cent ad valorem un-
der the present law. On partly manu-
factured wool and on products manu-
factured in whole or in part from wool
the average duty under the proposed
law would be about 42.5 per cent ad
valorem, as compared with the pres
ent average ad valorem duty of more
than 80 per cent.
The Ways and Means Committee
has estimated the bill would reduce
the annual revenue under the wooden
schedule of the tariff a little more
than $1,000000.
The measure prescribes it shall be
in effect Jan, 1, next but it is not be-
lieved the bill will pass the Senate at
this session.

CLARK WANTS FOLK TO QUIT
Folks Friends Declare Clark Should
Jump The Track-State Convention
Endorses FoIk--Senator Reed Favors
The Ex-Governor.

Washington, ID. c., June 21.-Speak-
er Champ Clark, who is nursing
presidential boom, is becoming some
what uneasy over the activity of Folks
friends in Missouri. The speakers
friends say that the Folk boom has
not appeared outside of Missouri, and
claim that the Clark boom is national
in scope. They assert that Folk can
not be forced upon the Democratic
party because a state convention has
ndorsed him, and that the result may
be that the Democrats will turn to an
other state and leave Mr.. Folk with
the honor of support by Missouri and
nothing else.
Mr.. Clarkes friends argue that his
boom is spontaneous, the result of his
increased national prominence through
bis service in the house and his cleo
tion to the speakership, and therefore
has elements of national interest not
possessed by the Folk boom.
Senator Root, of Missouri, has come
out in an interview insisting that Folk
has the call of his own state, and that
Mr.. Clark cannot contest it with him
without violating the express agree
ment of the Democrats in the state
convention, which indorsed Folk. Mis-
souri, politicians in Washington who
are not affiliated with either the Clarl
or Reed booms, say that such declara
ton from Senator Reed was to be ex
pected, as he was, they claim, the
beneficiary of the understanding
among the Democratic factions which
gave him the senatorship and Folk the
presidential Endorsement.
