Lever Futures Measure Is Agreed Upon by Vote
 of Nearly 4 to 1
OSCAR UNDERWOOD
 AND HEFLIN SPEAK
Both Indorse Bills Passage as Sub- stitute for Smith Bill--Measure Not Perfect, Says Heflin
 in Speech
By c. E. STEWART.

Washington, June 2a.-tspecfaI.) The House todny passed the Lever cot ton futures hill by vote of practi- eally to I. Representative Underwood in brief speech urged the House to pass the measure now SO that law regulating cotton exchanges would he upon the statute books. He pointed out that the bill could go to conference at once n substitute for the smith bill acted upon by the Senate.
 MT Underwood declared that the bill carried all the good features of the administration substitute for the Clark amendment, both of which was reject ed by the conferees on the Underwood tariff bill.
 Representative Heflin, who is a mem
 Der of agriculture committee and strong advocate for regulation of cotton exchanges, made one of the principal speeches in support of the bill De- claring that the New York cotton ex~ change as conducted today was the deadliest enemy that the cotton pro- ducer had and that according to evl- committee on fixed differences on the New York cotton exchange could change the price of cotton half cent a pound in one night" MT. Heflin aroused applause on the floor when he added that this bill will prevent "cot- ton gamblers from robbing the farm CTS of south of millions of dollars an- nually."
 Bill Not Perfect
 T want to say to gentlemen on this side of the House that I do not claim that this bill Is perfect" said MT. lief lin, but 1t strikes down the practices indulged in by the committee of fixed difference on the New York cotton ex- change and it would merit my support If 1t had no other provision but that. Mir. Heflin pointed out the fact that there was no law upon the statute books regulating the exchanges and called strongly upon his colleagues to support the measure even if it did not
 meet their views fully. He called their lattention that 1t provided for the gov ernn1ent grades standardized by charges in all contracts by cotton ex- changes instead of different grades of stuff ranging from dog tail cotton up to the highest grade now in use in these exchanges 2S In all"
 The operation of this bill will do
 much toward giving the producer the opportunity to exercise right that be- longs to him, that of helping to fix the price of cotton under the full and free
 operation of the law of supply and demand" said Mir. Heflin.
 The House leaders are convinced that
 an agreement will be reached with the Senate and the measure will become q
 law at this session.

WIFE HELPED CARMAN
MOVE BODY, TESTIMONY

Freeport, N. Y, July 3.AJoseph
Golden, one Of the two men who sat
in Doctor Carman's waiting room
when Mrs. Bailey was killed, sur
prised the authorities by declaring
he saw Mrs. Carman enter the room
a minute or two after the shot was
fired. She helped her husband lift
the woman's body to a couch, he
said, and folded the hanls over the
breast. This contradicted Mrs. Car
mans story that she did not see
Mrs. Bailey, either before or after
the shooting. Further questioning
brought from Golden an admission
that he might have made mistake
and that the woman he saw In the
Doctors office might have been Mrs,
sister, who closely resem-
bles her.
