Senator stephenson's Expenditures Of

Argument for Legislation.

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-The most
drastic campaign publicity Legislation
ever passed I'm either branch OF con-
gress was adopted by the senate late
yesterday practically without a dis
sentinR vote. Using the pfe-eIection
publicity bill passed by the house OF
representatives as basis, the senate
constructed during. the..day . proposed
law with the following important
features: 80 1...... .s-..
No candidate for the senate or

than q sum equal to 10 cents for each
voter IN his district or state.
No senatorial candidate shall spend
total OF more than $4,000 In the
primary and general election; and no

be made public. The bill further
makes II Illegal TO promise political
places to secure election support; or
to aid In influencing the election OF
any member of state legislature.
The bill will be the subject OF prob
ably prolonger conference between

house, as part OF the Democratic
legislative program and was designed
to require the publication Of expendi-
lures before election. which is not re-
Quifed by the existing publicity law.
The Republicans In the house UNI
successfully attempted to extend the
bin to cover primary election ex-
penses. In the senate yesterday the
primary election amendments, coupled
with more radical amendments, was
adopted with little opposition.
The senate amendments authorized
by the committee on privileges and
elections required publicity OF all pri-
mary election expenses and all
pledges OF political Jobs or favors.
Some objection to this was made on
the ground that primary elections
were not within the control OF con-

ENFORCE RULES
AGAINST CHOLERA
Federal Experts Help New York
Health Officers To Deal With
ANY SUBJECTED Gases.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-The health
officers OF this port, aided by the ex-
perts from the United States marine
hospital service at Washington, today
put into effect stringent regulations
against cholera.
+ Not only will all immigrants from
Italy be held under observation for
ten days at Hoffman's Island, but
even cabin passengers, unless they
can show they were not In ports
where cholera IL prevalent, will be
held until subjected to meteorological
examination.
Foodstuffs coming from Italy are
10 be disinfected. Those brought by
Immigrants who come from cholera
centers will be destroyed, although
the experts say the chances of the
disease being distributed through
food or personal effects are very
slight.
/ Assistant Surgeon General l. r.
Cofer, probably the best cholera and
plague expert in the federal service
who for years was prominent In the
departments successful work on the
Pacific coast, and DR.. Herman M.
Biegs. a noted bacterologist attached
to the New York health department,
today made a careful examination oil
tHoffmanis island, where ait immi
grants are detained, and Swinburne
island where the contagious disease
hospitals are located. As a result q
number Of changes in the methods oil
handling suspected and actual cases
were made.
DIR. Cofer will act az the personal
commemorative Of Surgeon-General
Wyman and will generally tighten ur
the inspection lines.
| NO new cases of the malady were
reported from Hoffman's Island today
Tha 2eI passengers and 81 OF the
crew of the Anchor Liner Perugis
were declared healthy, but will be
held at least Ave days longer. There
are n number OF cases among the pas
seneers of the Moltke, also held
which are under suspicion.
LONDON, July iS.-Stringent pre-
cautions against the cholera, are be
| ing adopted today by the British por'
authorities.
English cholera experts declare that
the menace is worldwide, principally
owing to the attitude of the Italian
government In permitting the scat
tering of the infection everywhere
rather than admit the presence and
extent of the epidemic, for fear that
| Il would brighten away tourists. The
italian government censorship permits
nothing to 60 over the telegraph lines
regarding the cholera.
