Measure to Prevent
Gambling in Cotton
Reported to Senate
Committee Strikes Out Three Sections
it Considers Too Drastic, but

WASHINGTON. Feb 17.--Under an agree
ment that they would vote today on the
bill TO prohibit gambling in cotton futures
the COMMITTEES on Interstate commerce de-
cided by a vote OF to to report It to
the senate without recommendations.
Tho failure OF the committee to make
recommendation 10 the senate resulted
from the conviction on the part of several
members that a measure or such impor-
tance should be given more consideration.
An agreement had been made, however,
and Senators Clark OF Arkansas and TIL
man Of South Carolina held the committee
to its word
Three sections Of the bill as Il passed the
house we're eliminated by the senate com
mittee and some OF the friends OF the meas
ure say the changes will make the measure
noneffectiNe.
The sections struck out are those which
would authorize agents OF telegraph. tele-
phone and cable companies to administer
oaths in their efforts TO ascertain whether
messages offered for transmission were in
violation OF the law; declaring that books,
newspapers. pamphlets. letters or other
writings or publications containing quota
tions which might induce the making of
contracts in violation OF the proposed law
should be nonmailabIe, and providing that
the postmaster general, on evidence satis-
factory to himself. might return mail TO the
senders when he believed It unlawful under
the proposed act,
The action was preceded by a hearing
which consumed the entire forenoon, so
that when the COMMITTEES came to determine
it's course It had no time for an exchange
of views. The result was that most OF
the members we're unwilling to endorse a
bill OF so drastic a character.

: BAD IMPRESSION IN LONDON

Bennett HesoIutiOns Taken Seriously
by IniperiaI Preference Party.
LONDON. Feb. Whether. as is sus-
pected in some quarters. Congressman
Bennett Of New York had no more sinister
motive than to embarrass the reciprocity
forces in his own country. there is no room
for doubt that this Canadian annexation
resolution introduced in the house yester-
day has greatly disturbed certain minds on
this side OF the Atlantic
So seriously is the matter taken by the
imperial preference party that it will be
made a subject OF Interpolation of the
government In the House OF Commons on
February a. Premter 1ss1uith VIII be
asked at that time II he intends to send
any communication on the subject TO the

can possessions had scarcely passed when
the cables broughttMr. Benefits resolution
asking the president to enter upon such
negotiations with the British government
as he might deem expedient for the an<

At once the dying agitation In opposition
to the United States Canada reciprocity
agreement was revived The Liberal re.
fused to take either the speech of Mr.
Clark or Mr. Benefits resolution seriously,
but a portion OF the tariff reform press is
making the most OF both for their own
uses.
Among the liberals there is a disposition
to view both moves from the standpoint
OF partisan or factional expediency. while
there are not a few who think the con-
gressmen are having a bit OF fun at the
expense OF their British cousins.

this testimony of the defense

'In my house ye shall not be
governed by the Bible. Man can
make his own laws when he has
been purified and has transcribed
from the world. Each man be-
comes law unto himself; each

most palpable free love plea, dis
guised under the cloak of religion,
that a human being ever read"
The text of the sensuous hill

disciples is unprintable.
