two-days' fight.
Neither 10 Changed.
The sugar schedule, as reported by
The majority members Of the finance

the house, swept the senate caucus
by vote Of Al to 6.
This ratification Of President Will
sons tariff policy, he having insisted
upon the wool and sugar propositions
before the ways and means commit
tee in the beginning, came after a
tariff bill passed the house In which
the president has been an active par.
ticipant. When the fight Of the anti
free sugar and anti-free wool Demo
Gratis was getting hot, the president
issued a public statement declaring
that any suggestion Of compromise
on his wool and sugar schedule ideas
was absolutely out Of the question
and later he stirred all administration
leaders to action when he made his
charge about the existence In WASH

all parts of the United States to tes
tify that they tried Marjorie's fat cure

grew more corpulent every day.
So sensitive are these government
witnesses on the subject of obesity
and fearful that ! would be made
the object of jest, that they asked the
government to quarter them at diff
ferent hotels. and to furnish guards
whose business is to keep reporters
and photographers away from them
Photographs as Evidence.
The defense's chief witness will be
Mrs. Cunningham, who will testify
that once she was fat. and will ask
the Jurors to look upon her now.
Photographs Of her showing decided
plumpness will be offered in evidence.
The government maintains that 1t
will introduce experts to testify that
the photographs were "doctored" and
that the microscope shows the head
and face of the calendar girl were
worked over on photographs of some
of her patients.
Women who have known Marjorie
Hamilton Cunningham practically all
of her life will testify for the govern
