WILL VOTE ON
FREE LIST BILL
Alliance Between Democrats
and Progressives Holds.

Washington. July 31.-The farmers
free list bill will be voted on In the
senate tomorrow. Then will come an
other test of the alliance between the
progresstyes and the Democrats. 1t Is
the opinion here that the alliance will
bold and that the bill will be passed
and sent to President Taft for his APP
prevail.
What the presidents course with
reference to this measure will be no
one knows, although there is much
guessing. The bill is called by Demo
Gratis and progressives a companion
piece Of legislation to the reciprocity
bill, which the president has signed.
1t is an attempt to recompense the
farmer for some things taken from
him under the Canadian pact.
The bill, as It passed the house, car
ried free meats and -four. Progress
sives from the middle west are Oppos-
ing both these provisions and may In
duce the Democrats to join with them
In changing the bill. The middle west
cattle ~raisers fear that with free meats
this country will be flooded with the
meats Of Argentina, Australia and
Mexico. The northwestern millers are
protesting against free -four, fearing
both Canada and Russia.

1t is the purpose of the government
to bring beer and like beverages with
In the scope Of the pure food and drug
act of 1905. 1t took the government
a good many years to determine pre-
cisely how the various brands of
whisky should be labeled.
The claim Is made that much of the
beer now made In this country Is com
posed In large part of corn and rice.
In fact, 1t has been represented that
a certain brand ct bottled beer, well
known to consumers, is to a consider
able extent a rice product. Those who
are pushing the pure beer movement
Insist that every keg, barrel and bottle
containing beer should bear a label

AUTO HIT BOY,

Ten Year Old Michael Bren-
nan Badly Bruised.
Special TO the EVENING NEwA.

South Amboy, July 91;-Michael
F. Brennan, the t~en-year-old son OF
Michael Brennan, of Stevens avenue,
was run down by an auto yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock at John
street and Stevens venue The lit
tie fellow was picked up by the
autoists and taken to DR.. Eulner.
AS far as known at present his In
%juries will not prove fatal. The lad
is very much bruised and cut in sew
eral places.
Why autoists are permitted to
pass through u streets at double
the rate of speed that they travel in
other cities or towns is something
that needs explanation. 1t Is an i'm
possibility to prevent children from
being on the streets and at a high
rate of speed it is almost an impossi-
bility to avoid accidents of this kind.
One child's life is of more value than
the salary of an officer; then why
not have a special stationed on
Stevens venue and teach autoists
to respect South Amboy as much as
other cities.
