DEMOCRATS VOTE DOWN
ALL TARIFF AMENDMENTS
derWood Measure-Brief Tells
of Income Tax.

Washington, May In the discus
sion of the Democratic tariff bill on
Monday the free list was the chief
topic of the speakers.
Republicans, wearied by the per-
sistence with which the Democrats
rejected all amendments, made per-
functory attempts to place on the
dutiable list articles the bill would
admit free. Only few minor amend
ments proposed by the ways and
means committee Democrats were
adopted
In almost every instance the house
Republicans argued that the admis-
sion of the various articles free would
ruin the industry" and would not re-
duce the cost of living.
Representative Underwood, major
ment was inconsistent.
If reductions in wages Of working
men follow the enactment of the tariff
bill, the Investigating powers of the
department of commerce will be
called in to establish whether they
are of bona fed nature, Secretary
Redield says.
A brief relating to the income tax
was filed with the senate finance COM
mittee by the Investment Bankers
Association of America. 1t sets forth
that the bill overlooks the fact that
nine-tenths of the interest on bonds
is payable on coupons to bearer, and
makes no provision by which the in
terest can be deducted by the cor
poration.
Exemption of mutual insurance com
panies from the provisions of the in
come tax bill is provided in an amend
ment to the Underwood tariff bill
that Senator Sherman said he will
propose. The senator says there is no
more reason why a mutual insurance
company should be required to pay
the tax than a fraternal association.

PASS ALIEN BILL
IN BOTH HOUSES
CaIifornians Hear BRYAN in Final
Plea.
REFERENDUM MAY BE USED
Secretary of State Demands That
Webb Measure Be Submitted to
People for Vote-Now Up
to Governor.

| Sacramento, Cal, May 6.-The Cali
! fornia anti-alien land holding act.
which passed both houses of the leg
| islature within twenty-four hours, az
! ter bringing about one of the most
unusual situations In the history OF
the nation, will lie on Governor John
sons desk without his signature until
Secretary of State Bryan can confer
with President Wilson in Washington.
Only three votes were cast against
the measure in the lower house, one
Democrat and two Republican mem
bers opposing the bill ON the final pas
cage. The roll call was held less than
twenty-four hours after the final pas
sage Of the act in the senate.
Secretary of State Bryan concluded
his mission to the governor and leg
islature of California with a message
of farewell.
In summing up, Secretary Bryan
rehearsed the objections and sugges-
tons Of the president, already made
public, and concluded:
You are fortunate In this state in
having the initiative and referendum.
The initiative spurs you on to do that
which you believe your people want
done, while the referendum empowers
those for whom you speak to put their
veto upon your acts if you fail to re-
feet their wishes. 1t may be assumed
therefore, that if you feel it your duty
to enact any legislation on this sub
ject at this time your people will
either manifest their approval by ac-
quiescence or their disapproval by
submitting your action to the judg
ment of the voters by means Of the
referendum.
Il leave you with renewed assur-
ances of the presidents friendly con-
Germ in the subject with which you
are dealing and my appreciation of
the kind reception which you have ac-
corded me as his spokesman"

CURE FOR BR00DlNESS
TWO Methods Given for Breaking
Up Setting Hens.
Strenuous Measures Must Be Adopted
to Dissuade Fowl From Her Pur-
pose-Leghorns Are Most
Popular for Eggs.

CBy PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE3
Contrary to general impression,
broodiness in hens is not fever ana
we have nc evidence to show that 1t
is contagious The ailment if we may
term it thus, appears without warn
ing. The fowl may have been laying
steadily and acting in perfectly nor
NAL fashion, when suddenly she be-
comes imbued with great distaste
for active pursuits She betrays
very grabbed disposition, rushing at
her erstwhile friends and pecking
them viciously whenever they ap-
proach her Her plumage sticks out
at right angles, making her appear
about twice AS large as usual. With
head drawn deep into her hackle
feathers and wings and body taking
up as much space as possible, she
mounts guard over her chosen nest
and defies all corners.
The hen becomes broody because
nature prompts her with sudden de-
sire for brood of chicks. She prob
ably does not know why she does it,
as she will take to potatoes or door
knobs as kindly as to eggs, but she
