Pint II Over Bows

The Board of Trade and the Com
mercial Club have voted to become
units in the proposed Cairo CONNER
cial Club and all now remaining to
complete the consolidation is the
taking similar action at to-
nights meeting of the Retail Mereh-
ants Association.
We believe a majority of the mem
bers Of the retail Merchants Asso-
citation are In favor Of Consolidation,
but we urge all of them to be present
to cope with any opposition that
might develop.
The Inauguration of the club is
absolutely essential. This is almost
UNANIMOUSLY conceded by the bust
ness interests. However, there are
several opponents to the plan and
more than one of this number vir-
tually admit their opposition to the
plan is actuated by purely selfish
motives.
Il am not in favor Of the CONSOLE
dation OF the clubs because | believe
it would be detrimental to my per-
sonar interests" one Of the oppon
ents Is said TO have announced
while 1t may be the best thing for
the city in the long run it would not
do me any particular good and mighr
iniure my business I've got to look
out for myself first and the city
second
We cannot understand how the
consolidation of the club could pos.
sihly injure anybody, unless they ara
using one of the present organiZa
tons to promote personal interests
The consolidation will benefit all in
terests alike and one of it's mos
salient features is that the orgauiza
tion cannot be used to the partic
ular advantage of any individual o
class of individuals.
Any step taken to make Cairo
bigger and better city is bound to b
of mutual benefit to all citizens an
in this consolidation project and a
other matters the majority ru
should be observed If maiorit
of the business men in Cairo dcsii
to consolidate theclubs, the pla
should be carried out without della
II they do not desire consolidate
the project should be abandoned
However, it is apparent that
majority desire the immediate anna
gamation of the two clubs and the
should be no further pickering oy
the matter. Every citizen who h
any interest in the welfare of Cair
has made it his business to famina
2e himself with the details of Il
plan Ignorance, therefore, cam
be accepted as an excuse.
The Bulletin urges its readers vi
are members of the Retail Nero
ants Association to attend tonigh

TIGHT SKIRTS ARE
Still IN fashion ].
LADY TAlLoRs MEET IN NEW
YORK AND DISCUSS STYLES
FOR THE COMING YEAR.

New York, June 27--The question
of the proper fit for women's skirts
was feature of discussion at the Ma
tional Ladies' Tailors and Dress
makers convention which began here
today with delegates present from all
parts Of the country. It appeared q
general opinion that narrow lines
would continue to hold popular, with
the trouser effect still a favorite among
the ultrarfashionable. The New York
delegates were firm for skirts yard
around, while Chicago representative
insisted upon a little more leeway;
a yard and quarter with two slashes,
one at the front and one at the back.
Louisiana delegates were the most
conservative, sticking for two yard
skirt, no slashes and short waists In
stead of three piece suit.
The pistol pocket was an innovation
credited to the Chicago tailors and
seemed to be generally accepted as a
good idea. One or two pockets were
suggested and If women did not care
for the pistol they might carry their
powder puffs in one and their purse
in the other.

TO LEAVE BRIDES BEHIND

Three Young Grooms Away
From Wives.

New York, June 27.-The call Of
the north will separate three bridal
couples when the Crocker land ex-
pedition sails from New York next
Wednesday for three years in the
arctic. All Of the romances began in
Iowa and one came to a climax a
month ago in the marriage of Victoria
Clark, who is still junior in the Uni
versity Of Iowa, to Jerome Lee Allen
of Brooklyn, who will be the wireless
operator in the expedition. They made
the sudden decision to marry after a
ten years friendship when Miss Clark
came east recently to bid goodbye to
her sweetheart
eve thought it would be easier to
part married than engaged she said.
Two other members Of the expedi-
ton, W. Elmer Erblaw and Maurice
C. Tanquary will leave Iowa sweet
hearts behind but not without first
making them brides. The young wom-
en- are, respectively, Miss Augusta
Krieger and Miss Josephine Perry.

It is expected that the incident VIII

acting Japanese consul general at san

will be incumbent on Secretary Bryan
to transmit any complaint to Gov.

president relies on him to SEQ that
Justice is done to aliens within th0
United States under terms OF existing
treaties.
Beyond that 1t is scarcely possible
for the national government TO 80 q
this stage at least. though later &c may
become necessary to ask congress- %
indemnify the Koreans who have sur
tered any financial loss.
Secretary Bryan said today that the
state department would make an IN
lyestigation for itself OF the incident.
The only information thus far re-
ceived was in the press dispatches.

he had also taken strychnine, as two
smau walls were on the desk.

GAG RULE USED
ON TARIFF TALK
Democratic Leaders Seek to
Expedite Consideration
Of Schedules.
CAUCUS TO FINISH
IT'S WORK NEXT WEEK
Countervailing Duty Of
Wheat and Flour Adopt
ed as Recommended.

Washington, d. c., June 27.-senate
leaders who have the cloture rule ap-
piled to long tariff speech In the
caucus today, determined to complete
consideration Of the Underwood, Sim
mons bill for report to the senate next
week. Having spent hours yesterday
on one paragraph which was not, COM
pleted when adjournment was taken,
it was evident that the caucus would
be prolonged unless discussion was
checked. Resolutions were adopted to
limit debate on each item In dispute
and deny any senator the right to
speak more than once on subject.
Again today the countervailing duty
on wheat and flour was first taken
up with the general countervailing
duty amendment to give the president
power to retaliate against all nations
for discrimination against the United
States on any commodity.
The recommendation of the finance
committee for countervailing duty
on wheat and flour was finally ap-
proved by the caucus, eight senators
voting against the amendment:
Fletcher, Lea, MARITIME, O'Gorman,
Reed, Salisbury, Sheppard and Varda-
man.
The finance committee later may
recommend enlargement Of its pro-
posed amendment directing the presi-
dent to proclaim counteryailing duties
on certain commodities when discrim-
nation by other nations is disclosed.
For suggested changes, the amend
ment to compel payment Of full rev.
enue duty on brandies used in fortify-
ing sweet wines, was returned to the
finance committee. Opposition to the
proposal was aroused among California
wine producers.
After the wheat and flour fight had
been settled, Senator Newlands sought
to amend the entire agricultural sched-
iult and moved that the finance COM
mittee be instructed to reduce the duty
on all food products by sliding scale
of 10 per cent a year until they
reached the free list. The amendment
was voted down.
