URGE AMENDMENTS
 ID SHERMAN LAW Economic Society Favors Organization of Farmers
 Be Made Possible

Chicago, April 17.-Resolutions urging amendments to the Sherman law to per init legitimate organizations of farmers were adopted today at the closing ses- sion of the Western Economic society, held in conjunction with the national conference on marketing and farm credits. A fight which the resolutions commit tee expected to be waged against the reso- lution did not develop and only one per son. E. R. kone, commissioner of agri- culture of Texas, spoke against it's adop- ton.
 MT Kone charged that trusts were seeking to arouse sentiment against the Sherman bill among farmers to gain amendments by which they would profit T believe the trusts have brought in fluence to bear on this conference to nave this resolution passed" he said 'I know they have similarly influenced other such conferences"
 The portion to which Mir Kone ob- jected was:
 Whereas the Sherman act as 1t now is construed is a serious menace to the progress of Organization and conferation and,
 Whereas farmers and other co-opera- tive organizations do not wish to be law breakers, neither do they wish for spe- cial exemptions of any kind; and.
 Whereas, they wish legislation which Will not hinder or forbid such legitimate organization and which will prevent un- fair practices by all organization as well as protect such organizations. from un- lar discrimination and practices directed by great or small combinations of deal CTS therefore be it,
 Resolved That this conference hereby demands from Congress legislation which will properly modify the existing sherman law to the end that this proper and req sonable protection and regulation be ex- tended to cooperative organizations whether they be consumers or producers and to the end that such organization be fully protected and encouraged thereby"
 A committee of 15 called for in the resolutions to plan the permanent or ganization of the conference on market ing and farm credits will be appointed in few weeks by the president of the Western Economic society.

TRIBUTE TO PAGAN

To The Age-Herald yesterday afternoon there came a modest appearing little woman who said she wanted to pay a tribute to Chief Eagan. She did not de- sire that her name appear in The Age- Herald, but~she said she wanted the pub lie ''to know what a really big and gen. erous man" was the present chief of the Birmingham police. Her tribute follows:
 Tt is with pleasure that l wish to pay little tribute to our new chief of police Mr. Martin Eagan
 During last week a woman of unusual brilliance, of good southern connection, became demented through overwork and excitement in an invention that she was getting out to benefit her countrymen. Realizing her mental unsoundness, sne went down to police headauarters and gave herself up to the care and protec- tion of Chief Eagan, who at once saw her condition, yet kindly humored her every whim, even allowing her to take posses sion of his office, he moving into the outer one. For two days and nights (until the arrival of a. relative from an- other state to take her in charge), sae could be seen sitting at the chiefs desk
 NO brother could have been more ten der or considerate than was Chief Bsan to this woman, d daughter of the south and who was to him rank stranger, and 1t is well for the public to know that be- heath seemingly rough exterior there lies big, warm and generous heart.'
