Washington, Feb. 15.-Representative
Good, Of Iowa, who led bitter attack
on the powder trust in the house OF

cessful in his effort to insert an
amendment in the bill proposing to limit
the purchase of powder by the govern
ment from private makers. The pow

ure is S250,000. Mr. Good tried to get
the house to say that not more than 10
per cent Of this could be spent in buy
ing explosives from the trust. When
this amendment was defeated he Of
| fered to compromise by making the
trust purchase 25 per cent. Failing in
| this he raised it to 40 per cent, and
again was beaten.

Good reviewed the history of tie pow

the United States circuit court for the
