PORTANT POINTS.

With Plan for Exemption of Mutual
Insurance Dividends.

Washington, July 1.-Senate DEM
ocrats approached q final agreement
on the Underwood Simmons tariff
bill i'm caucus late today when they
made the following decisions on i'm
portant contested points:
Mutual life insurance companies
were exempted from payment of in
come tax on earnings returned to pol
icyholders in the form of ddividends.
stamp tax of 1-10 per cent per
pound was agreed to for all trading
on cotton futures, the tax to be re-
funded where cotton is actually de-
livered.
An agreement was reached for a
vote tomorrow on the Hitchcock
amendment, proposing a restrictive
tax on tobacco production to pre-
vent monopoly.
The finance committee members
held another meeting tonight to de-
eide questions referred back from the
caucus. The caucus will resume work
tomorrow and it is believed the final
paragraphs will be reached before
tomorrow night.
The decision to exempt earnings
which mutual life insurance compa-
nies later distribute to policyholders
came at the end of a long debate.
The caucus by vote of 13 to IL over
turned last night the recommends
tion of the finance committee Demo-
Gratis that such exemption be made.
On n reconsideration today, asked by
Senator Lewis. the caucus reversed
the action and voted to uphold the
committee.
Senator Overman tried vainly to
have the tax on cotton futures cut
down from the lilo cent basis pro-
posed by Senator Clarke to l-2O
cent.
Senator Hitchcock's fight to secure
the adoption OF his tobacco amend
ment, which embraced the views set
forth some time ago by Attorney Gen.
eral McReynolds for curbing the
growth of the trust" was carried
over until adjournment tonight and
will be renewed tomorrow. Members
of the finance committee decided
against the amendment which would
impose a heavy tax on production
above a certain figure. Senator Hitch
cock also will propose tomorrow a
amendment for a tax on
the production of all corporations that
control more than a specified amount
or the production in their line of in
dustry; and will attempt to have both
made part Of the tariff
bill.

Many Traders Don't Like Cotton
Future Tax.

New Orleans. July 1.-The propo-
sition contained In the Clarke amend
ment TO the Underwood tariff bill to
tax one-tenth of cent a pound all
cotton futures contracts has aroused
aggressive opposition on the part Of
the members of the New Orleans cot
ton exchange and many others inter-
ested heavily in cotton trade through
out the South. Hundreds of kilograms
from cotton dealers In q dozen States
have been received at the exchange
asking that It's officers make every ef-
fort to prevent the enactment Of the
amendment into law.
w. Ii. Thompson. former president
OF the New Orleans exchange, today
telegraphed to President Wilson, in
behalf of the organization. a protest
against the proposed tax. His state
ment said Ina part:
This tax Is prohibitive. 1t will put
an end to non-speculative as well as
speculative contracts, and hence de-
stroy hedge protection. Upon this
protection Is based the system where
by the crop is marketed with the
least expense and at the maximum
price, and the system whereby the
manufacturers is able to contract his
outpnt ahead. thus increasing the con-
sumption of raw cotton and creating
"a forward demand for the product.
The amendment Is "a daring assault
upon the economies of the cotton
trade"

MANY PROBING FRIEDMA
Berlin, Jan. 22.-German scien-
fists today said that they had out
witted DR.. Friedrich Friedman,
discoverer of ''Friedmann's tu-
berculosis cure, and they hope
soon to be able to say on first
hand information whether the
Friedman cure is genuine or not.
Professor Felix Klemperer, a
scientist, announced he had OBJ
tanned the consent of one of
Friedmann2s patients to with
draw from his arm the living
bacilli that had been injected by
Friedman. The germ has been
reproduced in large quantities,
Klemperer said, and scientists all
over Germany are experimenting
with the bacilli
I acted in the name of human
ity," K1emperer said, "and if this
germ is what Friedman claims it
is, we will shortly give it to the
world.
'You may say that I already
admit that the germ will help
many sufferers, but I cannot as
yet say it will help all"
In another well-known Berlin
laboratory, the Friedman cul-
ture is being experimental with
by one of the most eminent scien-
fists of Germany, formerly a coll
league of Friedman, whose
name is withheld.
Professor August Bier, a most
violent enemy of Friedman, has
obtained some of the bacilli, and

Thus scientists throughout

that in a short time the medical
experts of Europe will be enabled
to pass authoritatively on the
merits of Friedmann's discovery.

HELD AS A PRISONER
FOUR DAYS BY LOG
Finally Throws Block at. Chipmunk and
Knocks Jack SO That He Can
Get It to Free Self,

South Bend, Wash, July l4.-Held a
prisoner for four days by a log falling
on his leg was the peculiarly terrifying
experience of Roxy Doyle, a prominent
Bay Center man, news Of which reached
here today. Doyle was cutting wood
near Bone river, and jack with which
he was raising one log on top of an
other slipped letting a log down on
his leg and holding him fast
The fallen jack lay just beyond his
reach.
His efforts to extricate himself were
of no avail and he remained in the trap
from Wednesday until Sunday morning
without food and with only the rain,
which luckily fell abundantly, for
drink Most of the time he was un-
conscious from weakness and hunger.
Sunday he regained consciousness and
saw a chipmunk eating the grease from
the jack. Tormented by the sight of
the animal satisfying its hunger, he
caught up a block and threw at it with
all his feeble strength. The throw prob.
ably saved his life, for the block hit
the jack and knocked it over so that he
was able to reach it and after slow
and painful effore, to extricate himself.
He crawled to his camp and remained
there for several days until he regained
strength to travel back to town.

Affairs have reached a pass, in fact,
where the fighters get all the money
