ONLY COASTERS TO
PASS CANAL FREE
FROM TOLLS
Aforementioned Ship in Foreign
Trade Must Pay at Panama
REPORT OF CONE lTTEE
Trust Owned Ships Prohibited and
Railroad Interests Are Likewise
Barred.

Washington, Aug. 15-An agree
tration bill was reached by the con-
ference committee OF the House and
Senate yesterday by which free pas
sage is denied to American-owned
ships engaged in foreign trade, for
eign ship building materials are ad-
mitted free of tariff to the United
States, and the interstate commerce
commission is given power to break
up any combination of competing rail
and water lines which it finds are not
for "the public good" Two of the
six members of the conference com
mittee, Senator Brandegee and Rep
resentative Frederick c. Stevens of
Minnesota, declined to sign the re-
port. Those who did attach their
names to the agreement were Sena-
tors Bristow and Simmons and Rep
resentatives Adamson and Sims.
AS perfected in the conference
committee, the canal bill now pro
vides. in brief Free passage for
American ships engaged in coast
wise trade; American registry for
Americanowned foreign-built ships
engaged exclusively in foreign trade !;
no tariff on foreign shipbuilding ma
terials for use in this country; trust
owned ships prohibited from the ca
nal; railroads prohibited from own.
ing competing waterway lines oper-
ating through the canal or else
where" when such ownership is de-
trimental to the public welfare: in.
terstate commerce commission au-
thorized to investigate control OF
water lines by railroads and sanction
it where it is beneficial: oneman
government for Panama canal and
zone.
The conference agreement will be
reported TO the House and Senate
today, and II is believed that II will
be subject TO some opposition. In
dropping out the Senate amendment
giving free passage to American
ships engaged in foreign trade the
conference committee met the oppo.
sition of those who considered this a
direct violation of the treaty with
Great Britain. The Senate amend.
ment admitting foreign-bult ships to
American registry when owned by
Americans was supplemented by the
provision admitting shipbuilding ma.
terial free of tariff to meet the OPP
position of the House members who
claimed the American shipbuilding
industry would otherwise suffer.

and those who know him and are ac.
auainted with his appreciation of the
fair, are certain that the event will 60
down in the history of the association
as a memorable one.
Besides the governor, there will be
ctr~- prominent personages at the fair
on the opening day, according to the

THE BOYS PIG CLUBS
viii Make a Splendid Display al
Louisiana State Fair.

AS a result of a splendid beginning
last year, when there were exhibits
from several parishes in the Shreve-
port neighborhood, it is expected that
there will be magnificent exhibit at
the State Fair this year by the Boys
Pig Clubs, which have been offered
some tempting prizes. The showing
last year was marvelous-the pigs
raised by the boys outclassed those of
their fathers, as rule, by many points.
and the boys were roundly congratu-
lated upon their efforts and encoura ged
to give more attention to the industry,
which they have done, according to the
reports reaching the Fair Association.
There are pib clubs in a number OF
the parishes of the state. Their men,
bership totals about 1900. Practically
all of the clubs will be represented at
this years exposition. 1t is estimated
that there will be about 200 pigs e.
hibited by the boys, which means a col
lection many times larger than the one
shown last year.
All the boys who expect to partici-
pate in the pig club contest at the fail
this year, Oct 80 to Nov. 6, inclusive
are urged to take the matter up al
once with the superintendents in theil
respective parishes. The associate
wants all the clubs represented, for i
feels that the exhibit will result IL
much good, not only as stimulus II
other boys to get busy in the hog in.
dustry but as an advertisement for thu
fair and as a pleasant sight for thu
visitors.
w H. Bayliss, of Baton Rouge, will
be in charge of this division as super
intendent, and the judging will be dom
by some of the best experts to be OBJ
tanned In connection with the exhibi
by these clubs there will be judgin'
contest, conducted by Prof. E. L. Jor
| dan, of Baton Rouge. in which tn
! boys will shov their knowledge of tn
| swine business.

Feature at State Fair.

A brand new attraction at the 1912
Louisiana State Fair will be Pure
Food Show. 1t will be the first display
of this sort ever made at the Louisiana
Fair and is therefore going to prove
one of the chief points of interest to
the visitors.
No more ideal place for the Pure
Food Show could be found than in the
new Coliseum, a 100000 brick building,
centrally located on the Fair Grounds,
in which there is a large arena and
seats to accommodate 1000 persons.
In this building the visitors will be
sheltered from the sun in the daytime,
while at night there will be numerous
lights to make the show thoroughly
entertaining.
All sorts of foods will be on exhibi-
ton. The spectators will be told Of the
Qualities of the differenut articles, free
from impurities, or else they would not
have the pure food stamp of approval
on them. One of the objects of the
show is to give the citizens opportunity y
of becoming more familiar with the
foods that are best for their health and
happiness.
Manufacturers from all over the
country will have foods on exhibit al
this show, and there will be demon
strators on hand to point out the va
rious merits of the products shown
In addition, another interesting and
pleasureable feature of the show will
be the distribution of samples. Many
of these will be given away tn the
visitors ,as souvenirs as well as ad
vertisements.
There will be a number of booths
filled with the pure foods. They have
been arranged inside the Coliseum an.
so placed that the spectators may SEE
