introduced in the house, largely at
the instance of Secretary Wilson, is
not so satisfactory. The latter pro-
poses that the secretary of labor
should be included as one of the Of
ficial mediators. There has been con-
siderable objection to that feature.
Chairman Clayton of the house
judiciary committee, who was one of
the participants in the White House
conference, declared there was no dis
position to press his bill against the
NewIands bill, if it was apparent both
the railroads and their employees ia
vored the Newlands measure.
"All we want said he, 'is to get
the best legislation to meet views of
both sides. The house judiciary COM
mittee will determine its position at
a meeting tomorrow in the light of
this afternoons conference. There
should then be quick action by con-
gress.''
President Wilson Busy.
Acceptance by the house of the
Newlands bill, as it has passed the
senate, which also has been approved
by the civic federation, would un-
doubtedly remove the possibility of a
strike.
President Wilson, on his arrival
from Cornish, n. H, had before him
a pile of documents which he said he
would examine before the conference.
The conference committee Of rail-
road managers today received from
the unions formal notification that the
strike vote had been ratified yesterday
The statement recites that the general
committee of the unions, meeting
separately, have unanimously ap-
proved the strike VOTE and have
authorized Lee and Garretson to fix
the hour at which they will retire
from the service" The letters SAYS
Lee and Garretson have at ''the ear
nest solicitation of disinterested inter-
terests," been authorized to attend to-
days conference at Washington, and
adds:
1.-THE local committeeman have re-
turned to their homes under inStruc-
tions not to return to the service,
pending further instructions, and we
sincerely trust that a crisis may not
be precipitated by an effort to compel
any of those committeeman to return

Senator Newlands declared today
that the emergency should bring the
house to immediate action on the SEN
ate bill. He hoped the White House
conference would lead to a definite
conclusion The bill which passed the
senate, said Senator Newlands sis
unquestionably favorable to the pub
lie interest. The arbitration as pro-
posed eventually would develop into

EXPENSE is LIGHT
Destroy HOppers for Twenty
Five Cents per Acre.
State EntOmOIogist Has Tried
1t ON Farm of J. ShOuse.

Manhattan, Kan, July 14.-For 20
cents an acre farmers can poison
grasshoppers with Paris green bran
mash. When done properly this meth
cd of killing the hoppers will be ef-
fective. Bug men at the Kansas Agrl-
cultural college have proved this con-
clusively. Many farmers also, who
have carried out the instructions sent
from the agricultural college have
saved fields of crops at no greater cost
than that mentioned.
On the farm of Senator JOuett
Shouse, near Kinsley, a field of kafhr
was saved from an invasion of grass
hoppers two weeks ago by the poison
bran mash method. Two days after the
poison was put out a representative
of the agricultural college with the
foreman of the farm, made counts OF
the dead hoppers in various parts of
the field. AS many as 200 dead hop
pers were found on spaces only two
feet square. An average of the field
made from a number of counts was
found to be % dead hoppers to the
square foot-enough to destroy the en-
tire crop in a short time.
To prepare the poison bran mash,
mix 20 pounds of bran, dry, with
pound of Paris green, or arsenic.
Squeeze the juice of three oranges or
lemons into three and one-half gallons
of water. Chop up the pulp and peel
of the fruit and add that to the wa
ter, and then wet the bran and poison
with this mixture, stirring SO as to
dampen the mash thoroughly. This
amount of poison is enough for five
acres. It is important that it be sown
broadcast over the field and not de-
posted in small piles as these might
contain enough of the poison to kill
farm animals. There will be no danger
to animals if the poison is sown broad
cast. The entomologists at the Kan
sas Agricultural college will be glad
to give detailed instructions regarding
the use of the hopperdozer and other
methods of combating hoppers to any

SENATORS SWIM RACE.
Pomerene and Owen Wager on Speed
in Water.

III wafer.
Washington, July 14.-While there is
no open display of wagering on the
result, senators are placing bets on
their favorite in a coming swimming
match between Senator Pomerene,
champion of Killbuck Creek, Holmes
county, Ohio, and Senator Owen of
Oklahoma. The date for the contest
has not been set but it will be held
at the bathing beach of the District
of Columbia probably within the next
few days.
The match was made when Senator
Owen challenged Senator Pomerene to
a round of golf at the Columbia Coun-
try club. The weather was exceeding
ly hot and the Ohiean did not relish the
idea of chasing a small ball around
under the hot sun.
I'll take you on in a swimming
match" he said, visions of cool waters
before his eyes.
Done" said Senator owen prompt
ly.
The golf game was abandoned
