HITS At GAMBLERS
SENATE MAY PROHIBIT sPEcuLA-
TON IN THE NECESSITIES
OF LIFE.
THE PRESIDENT BEHIND IT
The Proposed Legislation Would Be
Hard Blow to the Brokers in
Sugar, Grain and
Cotton.

Washington, D. C.-Legislation to
prevent stock gambling in the neces-
stiles of life is to be Incorporated in
the Tariff bill.
1t was revealed that a substantial
majority of the senate is pledged to
an amendment to the Underwood bill
that will place a prohibitive tax on all
gambling in futures on the products
of the soil. The pledges are to enact
into a law a reform that has been
agitated unsuccessIully for many
years.
Legislation making stock specula-
ton in the necessaries of life crime
and punishable as such has been at
tempted, particularly in the various
states. Experience has shown that
this has not checked what the Wilson
administration regards as a danger
Gus evil. Accordingly, it is now
planned to provide for a tax that
would be so heavy that gambling in
food products cannot be conducted at
a profit
The Democratic national platform
declares for this sort of legislation
and President Wilson not only is COM
mitted to it, but actively is urging it's
enactment. The plank in the plat
form which commits the administra-
ton to put an end to stock gambling
reads:
I'VE believe in the development of
a modern system of agriculture and
systematic effort to improve the con-
ditions of trade in farm products so
as to benefit both the consumer and
the producer. And as an efficient
means to this end we favor the enact
ment by congress of legislation that
Will suppress the pernicious practice
of gambling in agricultural products
by organized exchanges or Others
1t is reported that dealers in sugar,
grain and cotton, especially, are in a
panic over the disclosure of a real
determination to stop gambling in fu-
lures on all agricultural products
With the senate committed to this
and the president pledged to carry
out the party promises there is no
doubt about the acquiescence of the
house.
The plan is to incorporate a gam
bling tax in the proposed income tax
section of the tariff act. The rate
has not been fixed, but it will not be
less than 10 per cent.

A ROYAL LOVE MATCH
PRINCESS VICTORIA LOUISE OF
GERMANY Welded TO PRINCE
ERNST AT BERLIN.
MILLIONS IN WEDDING GIFTS
In Brilliancy the Nuptials Far Out
shone Any Similar Event During
the Decade-Prince Ruler
of New State.

Berlin.-Love and diplomacy en-
tered into the marriage here of Prin-
cess Victoria Louise, the only daugh-
ter of Emperor William, and Prince
Ernst August, youngest son of the
duke of Cumberland
In brilliancy and in point of the
great number of royal personages
present the nuptials far outshone any
similar event during the past decade.
Kings, mOnarchS of lesser rank and
crown princes and princesses saw the
fair-haired, blue-eyed twenty-one-year-
old daughter of the German kaiser
become the wife of the strapping
twenty Sky ear-old prince, and with
the ceremony was healed a breach
between tn houses of Hohenzollern
and Guelph which had existed for
about half a century. The ceremonies
really began two days ago, with the
marriage ceremonies today as the eli
max. The civil ceremony took place
in the new marble palace at Potsdam;
the religious rites were celebrated in
this city.
Princess Victoria Louise had for her
attendants three of the prettiest girls
of her own caste in Europe. They
were Princess Mary, daughter of King
OSOTSS anu queen mary OF England,
Princess Elizabeth, daughter of KIM
Charles of Roumania; Grand Duchess
Olga, eldest daughter of the Car of
Russia, and Princess Xolanda of Italy
AS would be imagined, the wedding
gifts are almost fabulous. Their value
is estimated at close to S3,0OO.QOO.
The kaiser was so glad that the old
quarrel with the house of Guelph was
settled that, after the marriage had
been arranged, he promised to create
a new German state and make the
groom the ruler of it. Accordingly
Prince Ernst today became the duke
of Brunswick and the grand duke OF
Luneberg- This gives the young hus-
band responsible job and makes him
the equal in rank with the kings of
Saxony and Wurtemburg and the
prince regent of Bavaria. A consider
able portion of the province of Han
over, which belongs to Prussia, was
added to the new states
