 Miss Smith repeated substantially the story she told in the trial of Bill irgs, that she had seen him in a dental office where she was an attendant, a mile from the scene of the explosion about an hour and a half before it oc- cured. She said Billings, carrying a suitcase, represented himself as a newspaper reporter, saying he wanted to take pictures of the parade from the roof He obtained permission.

TRenublican A. p. Leased Wfre1

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The sen ate finance committee late today took what the members expect to be final action on publishers taxes in the war revenue bill, adopting by vote of 8 to an increase of quarter of a cent a pound on seccnd class. postage rates. and an additional levy of five per cert upon publishers net profits over s4,OOO.
 revenues of s3,0O0, 900 only from the increase in postage rates to 1A cents a pound which most publishers have vigorously opposed, and about S9 000- 900 from the profits tax are expected The committees decision came after days of dispute. The increase in post age rates would apply to publishers of newspapers, magazines and all other periodicals, including religious publi- cations.
 The committee also decided to retain the house increase of 50 per cent on letter rates, but tentatively agreed to strike out the doubled postcards rate. As about one billion postcards were sent last year, if the postcard increase is eliminated about s20, 1000 in rev. enues will be lost. The letter increase is expected to raise about $50 GOO 0OO
 In revising the excess profits tax to- day, deferring decision regarding the rate Of taxation, the committee decid- ed to extend it's operations to individ- uals in trade as well as corporations and partnerships From individuals at the house rate of Is per cent it is estimated S100,000,00o additional rev enue will be secured. It also was de- clded to give an exemption of six per cent to corporations having subnormal profits during the three year pre-war period and a similar exemption to new corporations organized since the war began.
 Representative members of the American Newspaper Publishers asso- citation met here today and unanimous ly adopted a statement declaring their willingness to pay any rate of taxes congress finds it necessary to impose upon legitimate and necessary busi- ness, but protesting emphatically against the levy of any special dis eliminating war tax against news papers.
 While the publishers were in session the senate finance committee by vote of to wrote into it's revision of the house war tax bill a section increasing second class mail rates to one and one fourth cents a pound, and levying a tax of five per cent upon publishers net profits ove~ s4,000 a year Half an hour later a committee from the newspaper men presented their protest to Chairman Simmons and went away without definite assurances. but conn., dent that there will be a reconsidera- tion tomorrow

CANANEA PULLS
 FIRES FROM MILLS
 AND AT SHELTERS
TRepuoIican A. p. Leased Wire1

NACO. Ariz., June 21.-The Can anea Consolidated Copper company at Cananea, Sonora, 50 miles south of here, pulled fires from it's smelters and mills and suspended operations today. Hundreds of Americans are now en route to the border in auto mobiles. Some SO arrived by train late this afternoon. A special train is to leave Cananea at o'clock tonight, bringing out all the Americans. Gen eral Manager Evans of the company is in Cananea and will remain until all the employees get out. There has been no rioting as yet, but an outbreak is feared at any moment.
 The shut down of the mines and re- duction works, which employed some 10000 men. is due to a disagreement with the Mexican government, which ordered that American workmen be replaced by Mexicans. Increased taxes and tariffs on imports, it is said made it impossible for the company to op- crate at profit.
 Negotiations with Mexico City have been in progress for some time, but thus far without avail. The shutdown shortly and riots are almost inevit- able.
 American troops are on duty here to prevent disoredr and cavalry is pa trolling the line east and west of Naco.
 The Cananea Consolidated is prob ably the largest producer of copper in Mexico. All of it's product is shipped to the United States.

WASHINGTON, June 2f.-Prospect for passage of the administration food
 ontro' bill by July l. is earnestly desired by President Wilson. appeared
 brighter tonight after the house had rejected important amendments which
 promised to delay final action and senate leaders had tentatively agreed to compromise, designed to expedite consideration.
 Rejection in the house on a point of order of proposals to include shoes, clothing, farm machinery and cotton under the regulatory food pro visions, cleared the way to passage to such an extent that final vote is expected some time Saturday Pro hibition proposals and Representa- tive Lenroot's amendment to strike out the licensing feature of the bill, constitute the only apparent obstacle to final vote at that time.
 Representative Lever, in charge of the measure t8;6 the house that it is of the utmost importance that the big control machinery be started.
 House republicans are railying gen
 erally to support the bill, one of the speeches today in its behalf being delivered by Representative Gillett
 of Massachusetts, acting republicar leader.
 While perfunctory debate was pro- ceeding in the senate, substantial progress toward compromising differ ences was made by the leaders at , informal conferences. The changes tentatively agreed to include Elimination of the section author izing the food administrator to requi- sition factories, mines and other
 plants when he finds it necessary. Elimination of provisions authoriz- ing fixing of wages, including those of farm laborers.

Tn behalf of the Russian provisional government and in behalf of all the people of new Russia" said the am bassador, q have been, first Of all sent here to express their gratitude to the government of the united States for the prompt recognition or the new political order in Russia.
 Close relationship between the two nations based upon complete ana slh- cere understanding encountered ln- evitable obstacles during the old re- gime because of it's very nature. The situation now is radically changed with free Russia starting a new era in her national life. The natural and deep feeling of sympathy which al ways existed between the people of the two great nations will grow now, by the force of events, into stable friendship.
 T have been in this country hereto fore on several occasions; l have here many friends and always have looked forward to a close union and friend ship between the United States and Russia. The United States, with It's enormous matured resources and US wonderful genius for organization, can greatly aid in the work of reorganiZa- ton which is taking place in Russia.
 Another object of our mission IS to establish the most effective means by which the American and Russian dem ocracies can work hand in hand in the common task of successfully car rving on the war. The friendly as sistance which the United States al ready has rendered has been of the highest value.
 ''The provisional government IS ac- tually mobiliZing all it's resources ana is making great efforts to organize the country and the army for the pur- pose of conducting the war.
 "The achievements of the revolu- ton are to be formally set forth in fundamental laws enacted by a con- stitutional assembly which is to be convoked as soon as possible. In the meanwhile the provisional government is confronted with the task of bring ing into life the democratic principles which were promulgated during the revolution.
 New Russia received from the old government a burdensome heritage of economic and technical disOrganiza- tion which affected all branches of the life of the state. The provisional government is doing everything in it's power to relieve the difficult situa- tion.
 lin this energetic work Of recon struction, essential for Russia's active participation in the war, the provi- sional government is steadily gaining
 in strength and activity.
 "The constitutional democratic party, the labor party, the socialist populists, and excepting a small group of extremists, the social democrats all these parties, embracing the vast
 majority of the people. are represented | by strong leaders in the new govern
 ment, thereby securing for it author l ity. Firmly convinced that unity of power is essential and casting aside class and special interests, all social and political elements have joined in 1 the national program which the new | government proclaimed and which it 1 is striving to fulfill.
