FOOD CONTROL
BILL ATTACKS
IN THE SENATE
Senator Reed of Missouri
Makes Two-hour Speech
in Opposition.
BITTER FIGHT IS
AHEAD OF MEASURE
Appear to be Little Prospect
of Vote For the Next
Several Days.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Aug. 6.-Considera-
ton of the conference report on the
administration food control bill was
resumed in the senate today with a
bitter fight ahead, LED py Senator
Reed, of Missouri against its accept
ance. Administration leaders, however
hope to put the legislation through
by Wednesday and have it ready for
President Wilson's signature before
the end of the week.
Senator Reed continued the attack
on the measure which he began Sat
urday. Several others including Sen
atorS Gore and Hollis, were prepared
to come to his aid.
AS soon as the food control bill is
disposed of, the senate will take up
the conference report on the first adj
ministration food bill providing for a
food survey and stimulation of pro-
duction
Senator Reed began another at
tack on Herbert Hoover and an at
tack on the men selected by Mr.,
Hoover to assist him in the food adj
ministration. Appointments of 13
agents to take charge of the Is ter
minal grain markets, had been made,
he said without authority of law, 81
several of whom are native born Eng
! lishmen.
One man, Senator Reed charged, is
an American bankrupt VINO went
! through a British bankruptcy court
and that Mr.. Hoover planned to harS
over control of grain exports, "to q
| gentleman who has not lived in this
| country in a score of years"
! 81 am reliably informed he con-
tinued, that the plan is to circum,
scribe shipment of grain from Gal
weston, New Orleans and other south.
ern ports and divert them to the port
of New York. The excuse has beer
given that it will save the hazard
ing of this grain on the ocean"
! Apparently fatigued after speaking
two hours, Senator Reed permitted
an interruption by Senator Gore who
was sitting beside him, to sugges'
the absence of a quorum. The chain
refused to entertain the motion
whereupon Senator Reed made the
point himself and after a quorum wa:
/ secured, continued his speech.
Senator Chamberlain, IN charge O
the bill, sees no prospect of a vote
within the next few days. Should
protracted opposition develop, a fiji
buster. administration leader are con
sidering night sessions to force th
opponents to speak continuously Thu
principal division was SAID to b,
among the Democrats.
Senator Reed called attention t
an interview purporting to have beer
given by Mr.. Hoover, in which h
threatened to expose" members o
congress who were opposing the bill
Senator Johnson asserted that inter
view had been repudiated by Senate
Chamberlain on the floor of the sen
ate in a statement furnished him b

ENFORCE ALL
HEALTH LAWS
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH WILL
SEND SANITARY ENGINEER
TO REPORT ON CONDITIONS
AND SUGGEST IMPROVEMENT

DR., F. L. Tatom, the West Flor
ida member of the state board of
health, whose headquarters are at
DeFuniak, was in the city yesterday
and will remain over through today
in the interest of the work of the
board DR.. Tatom expressed the
opinion that great work is in store
shortly for this city and county. and
within couple of weeks hopes to
bring Sanitary Engineer Simonds to
this city for a survey, with d view to
making and carrying out recommen-
dations looking to the health and bet
terment of sanitary conditions here.
AS yet the nav board is co-operat-
ing with the city and county govern
ments in the matter of the enforce
ment Of all statutes looking to the
health Of communities, and the policy
Of the board, that of counselling with
the people, is now being followed.
When diplomacy" does uot have the
desired effect, DR.. Tatom limited,
then officers will be required to pro-
coed against any possible offenders.
It is understood that all health laws
will be enforced, and in such enforce
ment the communities will have the
cooperation and the backing of the
state board of health. At present
Local Representative Rice is making
q survey and canvass of the city,
looking into general conditions, and
there is every reason to believe that
there are punches of trouble in store
for those violaters of the screening
and other laws. All fruits, meats,
food, etc, offered for sale must be
/ screened, as a protection from flies
and other vermin, and this will b.
one of the many big things which
I the state board, through local health
officers, will be required to see to,
and if the laws in this regard are
not more strictly enforced it will
undoubtedly mean trouble for the Of
Tenders.
DR., Tatom. a resident of DeFuniak
for many years, is always a welcome
visitor to Pensacola where he has
many friends, He comes at this time
as the official representative member
of the state board of health, and
when he gets his report of his daily
work ready for sending to DIR. Cox
the state health officer, at Jackson
Vile, he has little time for social en-
tertainment. However, he met q
number of friends yesterday and will
meet others today before continuing
his travels over all that part of the
state west of the Chattahoochee
river.

Favorable Weather.
GERMANS WORSTED
IN AERIAL BATTLE
Prince Ruprecht Loses i.
Attack on British Lines
At West Hook.
ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY.


The Russian retirement in Buko-
, wilma is slackening somewhat, while
the Anglo-French and German armies
in Flanders with more favorable
weather are feeling out each others
strength. On no front was there
fighting on any large scale Monday.
Further attacks by Germans
against the British lines at Hollebeke
and the Ypres salients were repulsed
by Haig's men.
Bavarian Grown Prince Ruprecht
failed in an assault against the Brit
ish at West Hook.t
Successful bombing raids were car
ried out by British airmen. Five
Teuton airplanes were sent down. and
only one British machine is reported
missing.
Lens, the coal center, is slowly fall
ing into the British net.
Apparently the Russians are hold
ing intact the line north of the Dnies-
ter and are preparing to give battle
to advancing Germans.
Changes in German imperial cabi-
net and Prussian ministry is criti-
cised by the German liberal press,
which agrees the old bureaucracy is
still in power and no step in the
direction of a parliamentary govern
ment has been taken.

Under regulations governing barred
zones around camps, and the particu-
lar application of the restrictions of
liquor shipment in Pensacola with
reference to the newly established
half mile zone around the armory
hall, it is stated at the district at
torney's office that neither the ex-
press company or railroad company
can bring shipments into the station
at Pensacola, as the station is with

Announcements to this effect were
made yesterday by the Southern EX-

by these carriers into the limit. Sa-
looms which have consignments on
the road, cannot obtain the supply
except by unloading at some point
outside the zone and moving around
the limits.
