 Today, three months and four days after the special session began Chair man Simmons of the finance commit tee was authorized to report the Un- derwood-Simmons tariff bill. The measure was passed upon in commit tee by a strict party vote
 As it goes to the Senate the bill retains the principal provisions of the House measure and those particularly advocated by President Wilson, free raw wool and a provision that sugar shall be free May 1, 1916. The finance committee majority and the caucus have greatly extended the free list aId reduced many rates, notably in the metal wool and agricultural schedules. Sweeping changes, how ever, have been made in the admin Istrative features and the income tax.
 Cattle and wheat now are on the free list, the latter with a countervai1 ing duty.

NEW LAWS MAY COME,
johnson Case May Result I'm Laws
Against MiscesenatiOn.

Chicago, May 14.--National legis-
lation prohibiting miscegenation is
expected to result from the conviction
Of Jack Johnson, negro champion
prize fighter for violation of the Mann
act.
Representative Roddenbery, who
has introduced legislation in con-
gress forbidding intermarriage of
negroes and whites, today sent word
to local federal officials asking for
a transcript Of the testimony of the
case. Representative Roddenbery
said he intended to use the story de-
velOped in the Johnston trial to show
that relations between the laces are
impossible.
Johnson said today the prosecution
had broken him financially and that
he had spent about 100000 financing
his defense. Johnson's attorney de-
clared that If Judge Carpenter refuses
a new trial, he would carry the case
to the supreme court.

and sentenced to two years at hard
labor In the State Penitentiary, or on
the county chain gang The cere-
mony being performed, the Judge an
nounced that he would allow the bride
and groom to go their way rejoicing,
the defendants willingness TO marry
the deponent serving to suspend the
sentence.
Before the trial begun efforts were
made to settle the case out of Court,
but the defendant steadfastly refused
TO enter into any matrimonial alliance.
But when the jury had convicted him
of the charge for which he was in
dicted and Judge Bowman had i'm
posed sentence of two years, the ne
gro's stubbornness gave way to rea-
son and he called for the knot to be
tied" with all dispatch.

pure food law amendment requesting
quantities of contents to be plainly
labeled on all packages, today con-
ferred with various State and city Of

was as to the amount of variance
which should be allowed on account
Of shrinkage caused by moisture and

ant superintendent Of weights and
measures of the State Of Washington
urged that the weights should be de-
termined, not at the time the package
left the factory, but when it reached
the consumer, and that when pack
ing and wrapping be described in re-
ceipts the burden OF proof should be
on the manufactures, not on the gov
ernment.

ANOTHER FLY DANGER.
Insect Said to Garry Infantile Par.
alysis Germs.

ST. Louis, May 14.-Warning against
the fly as the most common cause of
infantile paralysis was given by DR..
E. w. Saunders of st. Louis in an
address before a medical association
here today.
DR.. Saunders traced a connection
between infantile paralysis and the
raising OF poultry and gave this as an
explanation why the disease Is more
prevalent in country and suburban
districts than in the crowded part OF
city.
While experiments were not COM
plete, he said, yet he was confident
that final tests would demonstrate a
connection between 'limberneck" in
fowls and infantile paralysis. His
theory is that flies carry the germs
Of infantile paralysis from the car
casses Of fowls and possibly from the
bodies of hogs anu dogs to food.
Dr. Saunders condemned legal pro-
lection Of the buzzard which he said
transmits infectious diseases Of live
stock.

4 LIVE STOCK CAMPAIGN.
CONGRESSMAN LEVER CALLS FOR
DEMONSTRAT FARM.
Farmers of Calhoun County Have
Asked That Steps be Taken to Pro-
vide for Experiments.

Washington, May 15.-Representa-
tive Lever today took up with the de-
partment of agriculture the PROPOSE
tion Of the establishment of a live
stock demonstration farm in Calhoun
county. This movement was initiated
at mass meeting of the farmers Of
that county some time ago, and it has
the cordial Endorsement of Commits
sioner Watson. Mr.. Lever is very
much in earnest about this undertake
ing, as will be seen by the following
letter he has written to Assistant Sec
retary Galloway.
Il inclose you a letter from Com
missioner Watson with resolutions
adopted at farmers meeting in CAL
houn county, my district, both of
which explain themselves. l do not
know just what is expected to be done,
nor what can be done. but l am sure
You will agree with me that the ne
cessity Is upon us to begin system
attic campaign for the encouragement
Of stock raising in the South. The
chief trouble in the past has been that
the South could not be made to pro-
duce the necessary forage crops, but
the demonstrations of the department
in the past two years in the growing
of clovers, grasses, etc, have dis
proven this idea, and shown beyond a
doubt our possibilities in the way of
growing forage crops, and hence
in developing the live stock indus
try which in my mind must be de-
veloped before we can hope to have
the South come in to her own as a
leading agricultural section of the
world. Whatever the department can
do to bring about an encouragement
along these lines through practical
demonstration will be effort put forth
I'm the right direction.
