Contending that the alleged dissolution

lowing the decision OF the Supreme Court
in the American Tobacco Company case,
did not restore competition, and that the
decree of the United states District Court
for the Southern district of New York

SENATE RESTORES
CAVALRY STRENGTH
Five Regiments Dropped in House
Appropriations Bill Are Re-
placed in Army.

The Senate Committee on Military
Affairs has restored TO the army appro-
priation bill provision for the five regi-
ments of cavalry which were dropped by
the House. The bill as IL passed. the
House reduced the United States mill
tary establishment by making a cut in
the cavalry. and this action drew vigor-
Gus protests from War Department off,
cials.
The bill as it comes from the Senate
committee carries an increase OF s., ,537, As
over the aggregate carried in the bill
passed by the House, raising the total
to S95.3I47l0. This amount is still s., "a.
27S below the official estimates submitted
by the War Department.
The Senate committee struck from the
bill the five-year enlistment term, the
provision eliminating certain army posts,
and the provision consolidating the
quartermaster, cOmmiSsary, and Pay
master Generals departments.
An important amendment made by the
Senate was one directing the Secretary
of War TO reduce :ollS on Alaskan cable
and telegraph messages One-half. Ten
per cent additional pay is appropriated
for officers in foreign service. including
service in the Canal Zone. The sum of
$4,000 was appropriated for additional
equipment for coast artillery. An appro-
priation Of 500 is made for five cups to
be awarded hO.Sebreeders to encourage
breeding of horses suitable for military
purposes"

STANLEY LOSES
TO COMMITTEE
Steel Probers Decline to Heed
Chairman's Suggestion that
Morgan Be Subpoened.

Representative A. o. Stanley Of Ken
lucky, chairman of the special steel In
vestigating committee, lost out in a fight
that took place at an executive session
OF the committee yesterday. Mr. Stanley
wanted to hold the investigation open
until the return to the United States of
]. Pierpont Morgan, who, according to
Mr.. Stanley, knows a lot about the or
ganization of the United States Steel
Corporation that he should be required to
tell under oath.
The committee refused to call Mr.. Nor
gan on the ground that it was not known
when he would return from abroad, and
that 1t was the duty of the Investigators
to close up the investigation as soon as
possible. Mr.. Stanley was reminded that
Mr.. Morgan was in the United States for
a long time after the steel inquiry had
begun, and that Mr.. Stanley, who had
authority to do so, had not summoned
the financier.
1t is the understanding that this sug-
gestion, implying dereliction on his part,
infuriated the Kentuckian. Up to date
Chairman Stanley has had practically
his own bent in summoning witnesses.
In the present instace, however. the
committee decided that as Mr.. Morgan
is not in a place where a summons could
be served. it would be idle to await his
return.

they need expect no further trouble.
But the Americans were not content to
let Pagan remain at large. Lieut.. Al
staetter had been paroled and returned
to his comrades with the news that Pagan
had stolen his ring.
To the West Pointers this was an un-
pardonable Offense. They would not let
matters rest until the ring was re-
turned and Pagan made to pay the
penalty.
Gen. Funston then offered a reward
for the delivery Of Pagan, dead or alive.
A price was put upon his head. and the
natives who learned Of It said to them
selves that il was lucky, indeed, that
Pagan had disappeared.
Long after Fagan's disappearance. IN
1902, two Igorrotes or natives on this
island heard the story when they came
to town to trade cabbages and potatoes
in exchange for dogs. They wanted the
dogs to aid them in a hunting expedi-
ton.
Find Pagan Asleep.
While engaged in their hunt they came
upon a negro asleep at the foot OF
tree with a native woman of the
mountains. The man, stout and bulky
in appearance. was stupefied by a quart
Of bino he had consumed.
Stealthily the Igorrotes looked him
over, not exactly knowing why. They
started TO continue their way when one
Of them pulled the other aside and
pointed with wild eyes at the form be-
low.
Look he shouted, still pointing
The glance of the. other. following his
directions, fell upon an outstretched
hand, or the finger Of which was a
ring
The charmed ring" they ejsrulated
together. The idea came to them that
the sleeping man was Pagan, for whom
the Americans had offered a reward.
With only a moments hesitation they
poUnced upon the man and made short
ork Of him They cut OF his head and
dropped 1t in q gunny sack. and they
cut on his finger on which was the
ring With these two proofs they
started in to claim the reward
The head was readily identified aS
that Of Pagan. The ring was taken
possession of, and arrangements were
made 10 send it back to its owner The
Igorrotes got the reward.

In the event the situation becomes
more acute on the Mississippi an addi-

any time to afford further protection. as
no opposition whatever developed in the
House against the appropriation yester-

members told OF the receipt OF kilograms
from the fiood-stricken section asking
immediate aid.

much more than $350OOO IN Strengthening

part of the cost Of the levees heretofore,
and to-day We only ask Federal aid TO
the extent of $s5OOO. because of the

BILL WOULD END
POLITICAL PROBE
Townsend Measure Raps Par
tisan Investigation of
Industrial Troubles.
ASK REPORT OF FACTS

Within two weeks the bill recently in
troduced by Senator Townsend, of Mich
lgan, who proposes to do away with in
vestigations for political purposes by pro-
viding for the creation upon occasion of
4 temporary commission of experts TO
determine facts in industrial disputes,
viii be acted on by the Senate Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
The advocates of the measure declare
that it will be favorably reported and
will thereby mark the first step in max
ng all investigations nonpartisan.
VIII End Congress- Probe.
Should the measure be favorably re-
ported TO the Senate, as members Of the
committee believe II. will be, the other
plan of settling strikes-namely, by selec-
lion of members of Congress and certain
civilians to form an investigating COM
mittee-will be done away with. Repub-
leans in both Houses and many Demo-
crats are opposed to the idea of allowing
members Of Congress to make political
glory" as they term it, out of serious diff
ferences which are to be investigated.
So far. they declare, the investigating
committees, notably the Stanley Steel
committee, have done nothing effective.
The political bias of members OF these
investigating committees, il Is asserted,
nullifies their work. 1t makes all inves-
LEGATIONS dependent upon the party be-
lief of the majority, the advocates of the
Townsend bill declare.
Expects Measure to Pass.
Senator Townsend yesterday said that
he measure, which was introduced by
him few days ago. and which Is now
awaiting a hearing before the fun COM
mittee, will meet with the support of the
majority. He declared that most of the
members of the committee had already
expressed their disapproval of investiga-
ions Of the political kind. and were
satisfied that reports of fact are most
Ealuable in settling disputes.
Senator Townsend's bill provides that
whenever, in any State or Territory, an
industrial controversy shall arise OF so
serious a nature as to interfere with the
peace or commercial prosperity of the
country, the President shall be empow-
cred to appoint a committee of not more
than seven experts who shall investigate
the case in point and make their report
within three months While the measure
IS intended to apply to the difficulty be-
tween coal miners and operators, il will
-elate to any similar strike that should
arise in the future.

PInk-N hiskered Statesman Has Not
Not FILED Campaign Expenses.

J. Ham Lewis. OF Chicago, who Is the
Democratic candidate for the United
States Senate, may he liable to prosecu-
tion for failure to comply with the Fed
eral election publicity bill as amended at
the last session Of Congress. Mr.. Lewis
has not filed any statement of his cam
paign expenditures. and the law requires
that such statements shall be made un-
der oath to the Secretary of the Senate
at least ten days before the date of the
lection on the primary.
The Illinois primary. in which ]. Ham
Lewis is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination, will be held on April 9, and
obviously II is now impossible for him
to meet the laws requirements In this
respect.
Mr.. Lewis. whose pink whiskers are
known throughout tn nation, is unop-
posed for the Democratic Senatorial
nomination in the Illinois primaries and
may have had no expenses. II is con-
tended. however. that the publicity act
contemplates that sworn statements
shall be filed whether there be expenses
incurrd or not.
The penalty Of the law is fine OF
1900 or Imprisonment for one year, or
both, in case OF willful violation.

AMENDMENT TO SUGAR BILL.
Senator Bristow's Measure Has
support of ProSressIyes.

Senator Bristow. the Kansas insurgent
introduced an amendment to the free
sugar bill yesterday which, it is be-
lieved, will have the support of the
progressive Republicans in the Senate
and which may furnish the basis for a
compromise with the Democrats on a
bill revising the sugar schedule.
Senator. Bristow's amendment elm
mates from the present law the Dutch
standard and the differential, and re-
duces the duty on sugar testing IS per
cent by the polariscope from IS cents per
100 pounds to 80 cents per hundred.
The Kansas Senator declared yester-
day that these duties will afford ample
protection to the beet sugar industry,
yet they will greatly reduce the price
of sugar to the consumer. The proposed
reductions, he says, will decrease the
revenue about 100000. Cuban sugar is
allowed a 90 per cent reduction in the
duty.

The recommendation that a solid bulk

have been piling up IN the Library OF

as waste paper was made in report to
Congress yesterday. The records. &C..
represent copies of original work done

FEARS RUIN OF PORTO RICO.
Gen. Edwards Tells Senators Free
Sugar Means Disaster.

A strong presentation of the Importance
of retaining existing sugar duties in be-
half OF Porto Rico was made by Gen.
Clarence r. Edwards, chief of the InsuIar
Affairs Bureau of the War Department,
before the Senate Finance Committee
yesterday.
Free sugar. he declared, would bring
disaster to debtor and creditor. and
would cheaper labor, with resulting pow
erty and hardship. It would bankrupt
big plantation companies and ruin thou
sands of farmers who are raising sugar
cane. Sugar is the chief industry of the
island.
An official delegation representing all
interests in the sugar industry, said Gen.
Edwards, will arrive in two days. Secre-
tary of War Stimson will appear with
them before the committee.
