UNCLE SAM AS
FARMERS AGENT
Unique Bill introduced BY Sena-
tor BOrah.
PROPOSES CLEARING HOUSE
Says Trusts Have Done More For the
Farmer Than the Government.
Calls Competition Mother
OF Waste.

Washington. = A popular govern
ment institution for the scientific mar
keting Of farm products, to be known
as the Agricultural Capital, to be sepa-
rate from any existing branch of the
government, was proposed in bill
by Senator Borah.
Designed primarily to eliminate mid
dlemen and reduce the cost of living,
to arrange transportation facilities and
otherwise improve conditions of the
farmers and consumers, the bill
aroused considerable interest among
senators by its radical suggestions,
and was referred to the Agricultural
Committee
The institution would be controlled
by board of Is directors. 1t would
be made up of county organizations
requiring at least so farmers in each
county to form a branch association,
each to conduct the marketing of all
the crops of it's members under rules
and regulations to be drawn by the
general board, which would be elected
by the individual members every FIVE
years.
Earnings in excess of expenses,
when it should become self-sustaining,
and per cent. would be returned pro
rata to the members. Each branch or
ganization would be controlled by a
board of trustees and general direct
or and would serve not only as a
clearing house for marketing and
afanda rdizings the farmers, Drod11cts
but would also be authorized to loan
capital to its members and to assist in
the production of crops.
Senator Borah explained that he had
not written the measure, but had intro
duced, 1t together with memorial at
the request of E. H. Rettig. a farmer
Of Opportunity, Washington.
In the memorial Rettig submitted
that farmers were neglected by the
government and he made the declara-
ton that the big trusts had done more
good for the public than the govern
ment
Asserting that competition is the
mother of waste, Mr.. Rettig said: 1.-THE
law of business success is CO.
operative.
Think of the stupidity Of our ma
tional government" he continued, ZEN
couraging it's citizens to produce
wealth and after K has been produced
insisting on these same citizens con-
testing against each other for pos
session of the things they have pro-
duced.

Gen. HUERTA MAY
LEAD HIS ARMY
Reported to Be Preparing to
Quit the Capital.
REALIZES lMPENDINGDANGER
Particularly Mentions General Mer-
cado, Who Fled From ojinaga,
Leaving That City To General
Villas Rebel Force.

Mexico City.-Relatives of the dicta-
tor admit that Hnerta is getting ready
to go away and said the report was
that he intended to take charge of the
federal troops in the north and at
tempt to regain Chihuahua City, now
in the hands of the rebels.
In. an interview, Huerta intimated
that he would take the field personally
against the constitutionalists In his
conversation with Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, American charge d'affaires, at
General Joaquin Mas funeral Huerta
complained bitterly against some Of his
generals, who, he said, were inefficient
and open to suspicion of disloyalty.
He particularly mentioned General
Mercado, who fed from Ojinaga, leav-
ing that city to General Pancho Villas
rebels.
Mercado, who was sentenced to be
shot by Minister of War Banquet, was
accused of being traitor and of refus-
ing to fight, accepting brides instead
to escort wealthy Mexicans to the
American border.
When it was runOred that Huerta
was preparing to leave the capital
many curious persons Watched his
movements as far as possible. There
have before been circumstantial re-
ports that Huerta was about to go
away, but nothing came of them. Also.
it was remembered that every Mexi-
can ruler who has reached the end of
his rope has left the country by way
of Vera Cruz or lost his life in attempt
ing to leave. Huerta, though, is es-
'sentially fighting man. He has talk
ed all the time of it being his duty to
pacify his country. 1t would cause
little surprise among the Mexicans and
foreigners if he does take the field at
the army's head.

BILL TO AMEND
THE SHERMAN Law
Restraint I'm Amy Degree IlIe-
gal Under Stanley Measure.
ABOLISHES "RULE OF REASON
Kentucky Congressman Introduces
Antitrust Amendment After
Conference With Presi-
dent.

Washington. Representative Stan
ley, of Kentucky, after a conference
with President Wilson, introduced an
amendment to the Sherman law, which
would make illegal the monopoliza-
ton or restraint of trade Sin any de-
gree" It is designed to eliminate the
rule of reason" laid down by the Su-
preme Court in the Standard Oil case.
The amendment also would invest
the circuit courts of the United States
with jurisdiction to restrain and pre-
vent violations Of the act, irrespective
of the Attorney-G General. 1t was drawn
to meet the wish of the President, ex-
pressed in his last message to Con-
gress, to reduce the debatable area sur
rounding the Sherman act. Represen-
tative Stanley discussed the measure
with the President and previously had
correspondent with him at length on
the subject.
The Kentucky Congressman. who
was chairman of the special committee
which investigated the United States
Steel Corporation, does not offer the
measure as an Administration amend
ment, but believes it will be of service
to the committees of Congress which
will draft the antitrust legislation.
Would Amend Two Sections.
The Stanley bill would amend the
second and fourth sections of the Sher-
man law. In Section 2, into which the
Supreme Court injected the rule of
reason" the words ''in any degree" are
inserted, so that the section would
read:
Every person who shall monopolize
or attempt to monopolize or combine
or eonspire with any other person or
persons to monopolize in any degree
any, part of the trade or commerce
among the several States. or with
foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof shall be punished by fine not
exceeding $4,000, or by Imprisonment
not exceeding one year, or by both
said punishments, in the discretion of
the court"
Discussing that portion of Chief
Justice Whites decision which relates
to unreasonable restraint of trade,
Representative Stanley said that he
had always regarded it as unnecessary
to the decision and therefore not the
law.
Many, however. believe" he con-
tinued, that the effect of this decision
is to render Illegal only such combina-
lions in restraint of trade as are I'M
reasonable. The insertion of the
words Gin any degree" with the other
provisions will save the law as amend
ed from any such Interpretation and
will render all restraints of trade IL

It was Cecil Rhodes ambition that
the railway should traverse British
territory throughout its entire length,
but when the Germans annexed the
whole of the east bank of Lake Tan
ganyika this plan was apparently rem
dered incapable Of fulflment. Mr..
Rhodes tried hard to wrest portion
Of this territory from the Germans
and personally approached the kaiser
on the matter, but in vain. The Bel
gians, however, evidently awake to
the value of the railway have now
agreed to transfer a strip of the Con-
go to the British flag, thus making the
Cape to Cairo project an all British
route.
Northward the line has crossed into
the Congo from northwestern Rhodesia
to a place called Elizabethville, 1890
miles from Cape Town, to which point
trains are now running regularly.
Then from Cairo the rails have been
pushed southwark for a distance of,

ION A ROCK in
| WASTE OF LAVA
Thirty-three Starving Japanese
Refugees Are Found.
RESCUED BY NAVAL CREW.
They Hid In Cave During the
Eruption and Afterwards Climbed
On the Rock and Sought To
Attract Attention.

Kagoshima. Japan Telegraphic
communication between this city and
the north has been restored The Off
GERS of the cruiser squadron sent by
the Japanese government have taken
charge of the situation and are rapidly
restoring a semblance of order along
the waterfront. Many of the people
of Kagoshima have returned to the
city. All their houses are in ruins and
the returning refugees are compelled
to camp in the open spaces. The war
ships brought large stock of food
and supplies, which are being freely
dispensed.
The property loss in this city is inn
mense. The clearing away of ashes
and debris has not gone far enough to
allow even an approximate estimate of
the loss of human life.
A group of 33 refugees was rescued
from amid great waste of steaming
lava at the foot of the volcano of
Sakurajima. Their escape was little
short Of miraculous; with their rescue
no living being remains, so far as
known, on the entire island of Sakura
The rescue was effected by boats
crew from the Japanese flagship. AS
soon as tho cruiser squadron arrived
here crews were sent out to circle the
island of Sakura, on which the vol
cano is situated, three miles out in
the bay. The contour of the island
has been entirely altered during the
last week.
The sailors did not risk landing on
account of the terrific heat and
noxious gases, but made a systematic
scrutiny along shore. The entire is
land was covered with smoking ashes
and hot lava.
All was desolation and no sign of
human beings was seen until late in the
day, when an officer in one of the
launches noticed something being
waved in the air at short distance
heavily bundled to protect them from
the heat, was landed. After a hard
struggle they succeeded in making
their way through soft warm ashes
breast high until they reached great
rock Sheltered behind this rock they
found 33 people, still living, but coated
with thick dust and weakened by star
walton and thirst. Among the rescued
was school master who had borne
with him from his school house the
portrait of the Emperor; the village po-
liceman, who had saved the records of
the station house and the uostaI clerk
with small bag of mail.
The refugees were taken on board a
warship and provided with food and
drink. They explained that they had
hidden in a great cave near the shore
until the rain of ashes was over and
had then tried hour after hour to at,
tract attention.
