BILL FOR EXPORTERS
Measure Permits Common Sell
ing Agencies Abroad.

Washington. April q. The Federal
Trade Commission laid before Presi-
dent Wilson to-day its bill permitting
the use Of common selling agencies
abroad by American exporters and pro-
hibiting unfair competition by the cX-
porters. The President asked that the
commission confer with Congressional
leaders and take it up with him later.
He is said TO be anxious that the bill,
which has been approved by the De
partment of Justice, be passed as soon
as possible.
"The bill provides" says a statement
by the commission, that the commits
sion shall have power TO prevent
Americans engaged in export trade
from using unfair methods Of competi-
tion against American competitors, even
though the acts constituting such un-
fair methods are done in foreign coun-
tries.
Another provision Of the bill is that
every association or selling agency en-
gagged in export trade shall file with the
Federal Trade Commission its contract
Of association, the location Of its Offices
or places Of business and full informa-
tion with regard 10 it's membership

MEXICANS MURDER
AMERICAN TROOPER
GENERAL FUNSTON ORDERED TO
TAKE ANY STEP NECESSARY
TO PREVENT TROUBLE.

Observation-Disclosures troops in
Mexico have had their first battle
with the natives at the moment Gen.
eral Carranza is urging the with
drawal Of the expeditionary force.
While General Carranza's note was
on It's way TO Washington. troopers
or the Seventh Cavalry. under Major
Tompkins, were fired upon in Parral,
a Villa stronghold, in western Chi
huahua, were pursued TO the suburbs
while the Carranza garrison took a
doubtful part in the affray. The
Americans were attacked during the
night.
Complete Information regarding the
losses to the American troops or to
the Mexicans has not reached Wash
ington. A brief dispatch 10 the War
Department said that one American
cavalryman was killed. The troopers
used a machine gun against the
MeXicans
Secretary Baker ordered General
Funston 20 take any steps necessary
to prevent further trouble. Asked
whether this might mean the enforc
ed use OF Mexican railroads, he said
that General Funston is on the
ground, and will act as any emergen-
cy requires.
General CarranZa. directing his EN-.
bassy here to point out that the clash
proved his contention that the pres
ence of American troops in Mexico
is leading to situation which threat
ems to go beyond his control. tele-
graphed that many deaths had oc-
CURED on both sides.
Foreign Minister Aguilar in his dis
patch said one American trooper was
killed and several civilians were
wounded
Consul Garcia, Carranza agent at
FL Paso. teiegraphed that several
persons were killed on both sides"
His dispatch added that when the
American troopers entered Parrai
the people protested. and it appears
the garrison did also"
This latter statement is in direct
contradiction to the dispatches OF
Carranza and Aguilar, which declared
the Carranza troops attempted to
hold back the Mexican mObs. A re-
port TO the State Department from

SENATE PASS FREE
SUGAR SUBSTITUTE
DEMOCRATS WHO FAVORED FLAT
REPEAL VOTED AGAINST
MEASURE.

Wash'nGtOn.-Thc Senate passed
| the finance committees substitute for
! the House free sugar repeal resoIu.
ton, extending the present duty OF
| one cent a pound on sugar until May,
1920. The vote was 10 TO 32 Demo.
| cratic senators who voted for the sub.
stitute were Broussard, RansdelI.
Newiands and Lane.
The Senate defeated the Works
| amendment to increase the tariff on
Lemons and other citrus fruits to one
cent a pound by a vote of a to %.
Senator Phelan was the only Demo
crat to vote for the amendment and
Senator La Toilette the only Repub.
llcan TO vote against it.
Democratic senators who voted
against the Senate substitute were IN
favor of the fla: repeal resolution as
1t passed the House. and a sharp con
troyersy is predicted when the meas
ure is returned TO the House. Unless
conference agreement is reached
and approved before May / sugar viii!
go on the free list until such time
as the repeal or extension of the
Lutv can be made effective.
Anticipating that the House would
insist upon its resolution, Senators
Simmons, Stone and Lodge were
named as the Senate conferees.
Most of the tariff discussion did
not touch upon the sugar issue. which
had been talked out, but was devoted
to an amendment by Senator Works
of California to increase the tariff
on lemons and other citrus fruits TO
one cent a pound. This was defeated
by vote of A TO 30, Senator Phelan
Of California being the only Demo
crat to support it,
Senator Vardaman opposed the
Works amendment, and said while
he would vote for the Senate substi.
tute sugar resolution, he would not
give his assent to the House measure.
Il would not vote to tax any of the
necessities of life for battleships that
are not needed" he said. 81 have
very little sympathy for the prepared.
ness program that seems to be agreed
upon, but If | had I would not be
willing to pay for it with a tax on
sugar, but would raise the money
with a greater income tax, an inheri-
tance tax and a much greater tax on
the luxuries of life"
