AMENDED HOUSE BILL CARRIED
WITHOUT DISSENTING VOTE
FOR AGRICULTURAL AID.

REFUSES TO REQUIRE THAT COL
LEGEs FOR NEGROES BE
GIVEN EQUAL BENEFITS.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The Houge agricultu-
raj extension bill passed the Senate
with amendments without a dissenting
vote.
The bill provides for demonstrations
on the farm OF approved methods and
scientific discoveries as to farming
and home economics made in the
state agricultural colleges, expert
mental stations and in the federal de-
partment of agriculture.
The secretary of agriculture and
land grant agricultural colleges are to
outline plans for carrying out the dem
onstrations.
AS agreed to in the Senate the bill
will appropriate Internationally s10,-
600 annually to each state. In addi-
ton a sum of 100000 for the coming
year. with a yearly increase of $780,
900 for the next seven years will be
provided for distribution among the
states on a basis of rural population,
conditioned on each state appropriat-
ing a sum equal to its portion OF the
federal funds.
AlteT seven years ehe piii "ii PiO
vide permanent appropriation of $4,-
100000 annually.
An amendment requiring that negro
colleges be permitted to share in the
fund was defeated by vote Of 80 to
23. The bill was amended, however, as
result of fight on the race ques-
ton by placing the distribution of the
funds in the hands of the secretary of
agriculture and respective state gov
ernors in states having more than one
agricultural college and also specifying
against race discrimination in the
demonstration work on the farms.
The bill probably will be considered
shortly in conference between the two
houses.

Former Fugitive Leads Rebels in

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Lima, Peru.-The President of the
Republic of Peru. Guillermo Billing
hurst. was taken prisoner by military
revolutionistc.
The rebels suddenly attacked the
presidential palace under the leader
ship of Colonel Benavides. General
Enrique Varela, premier and minister
of war, was killed in the fight which
ensued.
Dr. Augusta Durand, former revo-
lutionary leader, whose arrest was
sought by the police. took possession
of the palace. 1t is generally believed
that he will at once organize new
government.
The attack on the palace began at
half past four in the morning. Thous-
ands of the inhabitants of Lima ran
into the streets, alarmed by the firing.
Squads of soldiers were ordered to fire
volleys into the air in order to prevent
the formation of crowds in the streets
and by this method they kept the pan
ic-stricken people moving from place
to place. In the vicinity of San Pedro
church a civilian bystander was killed
by bullet. Great alarm prevailed
throughout the city. Banks and stores
were closed and private houses barri-
caded. The street cars, however, be-
gan running before noon.
President Billinghurst was later
taken by the rebels as prisoner to
Callao, from which port he will be sent
into exile in foreign country.
Perrs sudden revolutionary trouble
is due principally to Billinghurst's
earnest efforts to place the finances OF
his country on sound basis. His
scheme for doing this involved the
strictest economics throughout the
public service. and, naturally, proved
unpopular. particularly among office
holders, who saw their salaries and
estimates pruned with a merciless
hand.
