Omnibus Bill Introduced. Wilson Reiterates Desire to Have Programme
 Finished This Session

Washington, April 14--President Will sons reiterated desire for completion of the antitrust legislative programme at this session of Congress spurred Congress committees to action today The House judiciary subcommittee re- sponded with the introduction of the omnibus bill, including trust regulata- tion measures and provisions made by demands of labor for restriction of in- junction powers and to insure Jury trials in contempt cases.
 Members of the Senate subcommittee on interstate commerce conferred late in the day and agreed to submit to the full committee as soon as possible a tentative draft of long considered measure to supplement the sherman law, which will differ in many re- spects from the House measure.
 In introducing the House bill Rep resentative ClaytonS chairman of the judiciary committee, announced that the full committee would meet Thurs day to consider it and that he hoped the measure could be reported in the near future

Henry White and Emory Johnson Appear Before
 Canals Committee
MANY APPROVE
 WILSON'S POLICY
Hundreds of Telegrams Received Sup. porting Presidents Attitude, Says Tumulty-Message Are
 Unsolicited

Washington April A-Henrv White. formerly ambassador to France and sec retary to the American embassy at Great Britain at the time the -Pauncefote treaty was negotiated. told the senate nteroceanlc canals committee today that it never was his understanding. nor that of any of the negotiators for Great Britain that the United States ever con templated eXempting American coastwise shipping from Panama canal tolls.
 Another witness who advocated repeat of toll exemption for American ships was Prof Emory R. Johnson of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, employed by former President Taft to frame toll schedule for vessels passing through the canal
 While the hearing was in progress the Senate adopted resolution calling on the Secretary of State if not incompatible with the public interest, to submit all cor- respondence connected with the negotia- tion of the Clayton Buwer treaty with Great Britain, Che subsequent HaS- Pauncefote treaty and the treaty witli Panama known as the Hay Bunau- Narilla treaty.
 Little Discussion
 Little discussion of the tolls issue de- yeloped outside the senate but Secretary Tumulty made public at the White House more than 5o0 teegrams received within 2i hours from democrats In all parts Of the country expressing approval pf the Presidents repeal policy. These messages. Secretary Tumully asserted, were un- solicited
 Professor Johnson took the position be- fore the canals committee that foreign trade would suffer discrimination by American goods being shipped free of tolls to Pacific coast points from tho Atlantic seaboard and then rans-shipped to the orient
 That would he an evasion Of the law, and one which the courts would not rer= init for moment. asserted senator Shields.
 Professor Johnson seid ue had changed his mind somewhat about water ratesi affecting railroad rates. He explained this was due to the intergraton of water lines.
 A Bad Policy
 The witness declared that he considered it bad policy to charge no tolls on the canal Instead of attempting to build up merchant marine by free tolls Profess sor Johnson said it would be better te grant plain subsidy to American vessels.
 The fact that two-thirds of tho west bound rail freight originated west of the Mississippi valley. Professor Johnson said, left only the remaining third to be dis puted for between the railroads and steamships plying through the canal. He thought it probable the railroads would rather let this go than derange their whole rate schedules and that there would be little no competition as water car- rers would exact all the traffic would bear.
 Professor Johnson said from every aspect against foreign carriers.
 exemption worked a discrimination

Bill Reported

The interstate trade commission bill also was reported to the House today from the interstate commerce commit tee.
 The report says the commission has in no sense been empowered to make terms with monopoly or assume control of business or to deal with maintenance of fixed prices. or to pass orders in any way regulating production, or to make declaration as to the innocu- ousness of any particular corporation or agreement, even if coupled with the right to revoke such order in the fu- ture."
 The Senate subcommittee, in addi- tion to reporting to the full commit tee a completed trust measure, will submit for consideration the proposal that an interstate trade commission De authorized to investigate interlocking directorates, holding companies. stock watering and other features of business evils to make recommendations at the next session of Congress. In view of the Presidents attitude. it is probable, however, that no effort will be made at this time to press this suggestion.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-04-15
Provisions Satisfactory

The exemption provision was de- elared satisfactory to the labor group in the House who have been urging the Bacon Bartlett labor exemption bill and had considered calling a democratic caucus to force action.
 Another feature of the bill eliminates attempts to make further definitions of restraints of trade The measure in- corporates the plan already made pub lie for regulating holding companies, for prohibiting interlocking director ates and for governing price fixing and other trade relations. It would penalize commercial interests that discriminate in prices between purchasers of com modities in the same or different sec tions or communities, with intent to
 niure or destroy the business of d competitor of either the purchaser or seller and mine owners and operators who arbitrarily refuse to sell their pro duct to responsible would-be purchasers or who lease or sell goods, or fix a price or rebate, on condition that the lessee purchaser shall not use a competitors product. !, It includes provision te enable Railroads to aid iu the construction of branch or short line railroads or to acquire the stock of branch or short lines built by an independent company tition, between the two main companies ton between the two main companies and to permit railroads to extend any of their own lines.
 Under the interloelSing directorates section there is added a provision that after. two years from the passage of the bill "no person shall at the same time be a director or other officer or employe of more than one bank, bank ing association or trust company, or ganized and operating under the Unit ed States laws, either of which has de- posits, capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating more than $2,- n n

ORDER FOLLOWS
 CABINET MEETING

Immediately after the cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary Daniels issued his order to the Atlantic fleet, and wireless messages flashed up and down the 1At- lantic coast to put the fleet under steam Ior Tampico.
 It will be the largest fighting force he American government has assembled TOT possible action since the Spanish-Amer- ican war. Forty-six warships and 2l,Op9 men will comprise the force off Tampico.
 Everywhere at the White House, the state department, and the navy depe.rt- ment, the hope was expressed that the dispatch of the fleet would not lead tcs serious consequences, and there was a confident prediction among administra- ton officials that General Huerta would satisfy the American demand, and close the incident. Officials were careful to point out that negotiations with the Huerta government had not ended and tbat the way was still open to General II11erta fo make amends

did Mr.. Tally refer to Lieutenant Gov
ernor Bilbo. His address was taken
up entirely with a review of his own
position of public questions Of the
day and he made it clear that he Is
making the race ON his own qualifica-
tions for the office and not on any
other mans shortcomings. -
He did declare, however, that as can
didate for Governor he does not ask
the people to elect legislature made
up of his supporters.
"You are the best people to judge
who you want to represent you in the
state lawmaking body" said Mr.. Tally,
"and it is your duty to elect the men
you think will carry out your ideas.
If you do that, there will be no trou-
BILE between me and the Legislature"
Mr.. Tally declares he favors the
initiative and referendum and also ad-
vocates the recall, 80 if you do put
a worthless fellow in office you may
take him out when you find out what
kind of man he is"
Reform in the penal system OF the
state was urged by Mr.. Tally. He said
the system should be rearranged so
that the profits resulting from the Ia
Dor of the convicts should be distribut-
ed among the various counties and his
method of working the convicts, as
outlined fully, was a new one and
seemed to meet the approval OF his
audience.
Mr.. Tally not only endorsed the idea
of a pardon board, but went into de-
tail as to the way this board should
be made up. He said it should be COM
posed of the chief justice, the trial
Judge and the attorney general, all
of said officers to be elected by the
people. and that if these three men
agreed that a pardon should be grant
ed it should become obligatory on the
Governor to grant the pardon. II
however, the board disagree, it should
still be in the hands of the Governor
to decide.
He advocates vigorously the neet
of reformatory school and juvenile
court system for the state and declar
ed that if the people place him in th'
Governors chair he will use his IN
fuence toward having laws enacted
providing for these progressive re
forms.
Mr.. Tally speaks today at Sanders
vile and will speak Saturday at Clear
vater. He does not contemplate ar
ranging any extensive list of speaking
places for some time, but whenever
suitable occasion arises in the futur'
| he will not lose the opportunity o
presenting his claims before the pee

DON'T POISON YOUR
SELF WITH CALOMEL

That's what you may do if you take
calomel because calomel is often dam
gerous. CaIomel is a chloride of mer-
curry, as your doctor will tell you,
and as everybody knows, mercury is
a poison.
When you think you need dose
of liver medicine, instead of whipping
your liver up with calomel, go to
Fields Co., Inc, and pay fifty cents
for a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone,
a pure vegetable liquid that starts
the liver to action just as surely as
calomel does and is perfectly mild and
harmless with no bad after-effects.
No restriction of habit or diet is
necessary. 1t Is good for children
and they like it,.
Dodsons Liver Tone gives such per
feet satisfaction in relieving consti-
patton and in relieving a torpid liver
that your money will be given back
if you do not find that it fully salts
fies you in every way.
