SENATE COMMITTEE QUICKLY VOTES
AGAINST WOOL AND FREE LIST BILLS
Instructed to Report July 10 1t Rebels by Strictly Party Vote
May Kill Canadian Reciprocity,
1t Is Said.

Washington, June 22.-The
senate finance committee today
agreed to report both the wool
en- and the free list bills ad-
versely to the senate without
hearings and at once.
ss-aFhe .effect-S on reciprocity of to-
day s lion is problematical. Some
opponents of reciprocity expressed
the hope it would kill the bill. Some
insurgents declared reciprocity ulti-
mately would pass but in an amend
ed form. The vote of the finance
committee to report the wool bill ad-
versely was to 4 division, being
strictly party lines. The republicans
voted for an adverse report. The So
called farmers free list bill was then
taken up. After several motions, in
cluding one amending the bill, had
been lost it was finally ordered re-
ported adversely, to 5.
MAKES TANGLE WORSE.
The action of the committee fur
ther complicated an already badly
tangled situation in the senate. The
committee refused to take RESPONSE
bility for reporting in detail on
these measures at any given time
and decided to cast the burden upon
the coalition democrats and insur-
gent republicans suddenly brought
about last night when the wool bill
came from the house. The finance
committee had been instructed to re-
port the bill by July 10.
WOULD TAKE 10 MONTHS.
Chairman Penrose of the finance
committee said: 1T would require
10 months properly to consider the
wool schedule and grant the request
ed hearing. The bill might just as
well be reported today as July 10.
1t has been demonstrated the repub-
licans lost control of the senate and

the responsibility has been taken
from them"
Some senators believe the extra
session ultimately will dovetail in
with the regular session in Decem-
ber.
HAS ONE OF HIS OWN.
Senator LaFollette's vote to re-
port the democratic Mnalen- bill adj
versely is explained by the fact he
has a bill of his own for a revision
of schedule "K" which he expects
to present in the senate within a
few days. He desired the finance
committee to delay action until he
had completed his bill, but the COM
mittee refused.
REFERS HOUSE BILL.
Washington, June 22.-By a vote
of 80 to 18 the senate last night re-
ferred to the committee on finance
with instructions to report it back
to the senate on or before July 10.
Sixteen republicans voted with the
democrats in favor of the motion,
which was made by Mr.. Gore of Ok
lahoma and one democrat voted
against it.
REFLECTS BRISrOw CHANGE.
Washington, June 22.-The house of
representatives late yesterday by a
vote of 172 to 112, practically strict
party vote, refused to concur in the
Bristow amendment adopted by the
senate to the house resolution provid-
ing for the direct election OF senators.
The Bristow amendment leaves with
congress the power to regulate the
time and manner of holding these cleo
tions, while the resolution adopted by
the house during the early days of the
present session would change the con-
stitution SO that ''the times, places and
manner of holding elections for sena-
tors shall be as prescribed in each
state by the legislature thereof

Mas No Trouble at Georgetown

Some weeks ago a rulnor was current here that Duke Stubbs had been killed at Georgetown during dispute over lot The Pioneer printed the informa- tion as received, explaining at the time that it was but a rumor. Now comes a letter from Harry Bismark denying the story and we publish the same with pleasure, at the same time regretting that we gave publicity to the rumor. "To the Editor of the Pioneer:
 My attention has just been called to an article iu your paper of August l9 reporting that "Bismark Joe" had killed Duke E. Stubbs. l presume this report is the result of a josh, as there was absolutely no truth in it. Stubbs and I did have few words over lot in the presence of Commis- sioner Stier, but as matter of fact there was not even bad blood stirred up or anger manifested. This report might some time do me harm, so if you are fair you will publish this denial.

IDLE TEARS

Ills are transient, woes are Hitting soon they'll all be with the past It's by tending to his knitting that a man wins out at last. Statesmen kick up fuss and furry, viewing daily with alarm: not d minute do l worry, l am busy on my farm. 1 am planting boiled potatoes, bone less beans and things like those; I am sowing stewed tomatoes, and haven't time for woes. l am work ing, striving daily treating fair my fellow man, and the old world treats me gaily, for do the best 1 can. Let the statesmen paw and thunder, in their ancient foolish way, till the welkin's torn aSunder-I will do my chores today. If you think that you are toting burdens that you should not bear, you won't get reliet by voting -- that won't lessen your despair. Read the story of the ages, written through the grinding years, and you'll find the statesmen's wages always wet with toiIers' tears. When have noisy statesmen aided in the drying of mems eyes? All they've ever done is faded save their promises and lies. He who looks to legislation for soIace when distressed, but invites new aggravation. Plant potatoes-this is best.-Walt Mason.

MATRIMONIAL
BARK IS IN A
REAL SHIPWRECK
TRUE LOVE, ACCORDING TO
HOYLE, AGAIN FAILS TO
1 RUN SMOOTH.

Once again the bark OF matri-
mony has been ship-wrecked upon
the shoals of discomfort But a
few short weeks ago Mike Racevich
and Marie Knez were united in the
bonds of matrimony and, to all
appearances, two hearts wede made
to beat as one. However, as usual,
there is sequel to the loye-tale
Marie was all that a good wife
should be-nearly. Mike was a
first-class husband, as husbands go,
and provided for his bride to the
best of his ability
All was sunshine and happiness
in the little cabin occupied by the
pair of turtle doves, until the SER
pent-disconten his appear
ance Marie was perfectly willing
to build the fires, cook the meals
and care for the home. She never
complained but, nevertheless, old
snake discomfort, could not be kept
from the cabin door He crept in
and disrupted the happy mealtime
family.
The result: Judge H. H. Atkinson
was appealed to as referee, Mike
contending that his bride of few
weeks had "beat it" with a bank
roll amOuntino IN S64 This am0unt
had been buried in a trunk, the
trunk was broken open, the bird
Of bride had flown. This was
the evidence presented
Judge Atkinson listened to the
case yesterday evening. He reserved
his decision until this morning al
10 a. M, at which time the blush
ing bride and discontented husband
were on hand. Acting as the in,
lterpreter for justice, Judge Atkin
son assessed a mild" fine agains
the lady in question, told her how
she should behave as a wife, anC
suspended the fine pending goot
