Employed Gathering Crop on
Ten Acres.

The strawberry is now king and he
can have no more fitting throne than
in Dallas for this most delicious of
all berries, and if perfection can be
improved upon this years berries
seem little better than usual. A
visit to the Stewart and Fisher tracts,
the largest near Dallas, enabled The
Observer to collect some interesting
facts. These growers have at pres
ent ten acres planted, mostly in Ma
goons, Oregons and Marshalls. The
berries are planted between rows of
trees in cherry orchard, and will be
grown there until the trees are ten
years old. Although the market is
slack again this year, in the hope that
Dallas gets cannery by next year,
they expect to increase their acreage
by one-third. Of this they expect to
plant ten acres to Clark s seedlings,
for these, as every discerning house
wife knows, are a small berry, blood
red to the center, uniform in size and
superior in flavor. They are not ex-

VILLA REPuLsEo MANY TIMES.

HOUSE PASSES THE
FREE TOLL CLAUSE
AMERICAN VESSELS WILL BE CON-
PEELED TO PAY TOLL FOR
PASSING THROUGH CANAL.
in Which He Assails Policy of the
President in Unmeasured Terms
Vote Was 247 to 1861.

Washington.-After one of the most
spectacular legislative struggles in
the history of the nation, the house
of representatives on Tuesday night
voted to repeal the provision of the
Panama canal act exempting Amerl-
can vessels from the payment Of tolls.
The vote ON the repeal bill was 247
to 261, majority of Sc votes in sup
port of the personal plea of President
Wilson.
This verdict on the issue, which
has absorbed congress for weeks,
| came at the close of stirring day,
made memorable in the annals of the
house by party division which found
Speaker Champ Clark, Majority Lead
er Underwood and other Democratic
chieftains, lined up in open opposi-
ton to the president on an issue
which the latter had declared vital to
his conduct of the nations foreign
policy.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where the fight will be renewed with
all of the vigor and determination
that attended it in the lower house.
On the final vote 220 Deocrats in
the house stood by the president, Civ
ing him in "ungrudging measure"
what he had asked for the honor of
the nation" in it's foreign relations.
Twenty-four Republicans, two Pro
gressives and one Independent also
voted to sustain the president. Fifty
two Democrats followed Speaker
Clark and Leader Underwood to de-
feat in their steadfast determination
that the president was wrong in his
decision that toll exemption for Amer
lean ships is violation of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain.
Nothing. it seemed, could stem the
tide of administration success. Speak
er Clark, for nearly twenty-five years
member of the house, made the
speech of his life to forestall what he
termed "unquestionable degradation
of the nation. In this he failed, but
he did smooth over the party breach
with kindly words for his adversaries,
praise for President Wilson and an
unqualified denial of any vaulting am
bition on his own part
When Speaker Clark had closed the
debate for the opposition to the repeal
with an impassioned argument he
was triumphant in defeat, for the en-.
tire legislative assemblage, in which
were many senators, rose to cheer
him.
President Wilson was at dinner
when the result of the vote was
announced. He was gratified, but
made no comment.
In the senate the bill will be re-
ferred to the committee on inter.
oceanic canals, of which Senator
OGorman of New York vigorous
opponent of the measure, is chairman,
Senator O'Gorman has said he would
call meeting of the committee at
once to consider the bill.
