enlist in the marine corps The twins
happily reunited are now both of them

AGRICULTURAL BILL

Conferees Agree Upon Measure,
With Amendments to Advance
Compensation.

| Thousands Of employees in the De.

assured of the increase III sal larry which
j Congress intends them to have. The
agricultural appropriation bill, carry.

allowances for new projects under the
federal department, has been agreed
upon in conference between both
houses and is expected to be passed, al
! least by the House, this afternoon.
| This assurance was given on the
| floor at the opening of the session to-
day. Chairman Lever of the agricul-
| tural committee of the House asked
unanimous consent for the immediate
consideration of the, bill. He said
that the conferees had agreed upon
all provisions of the bill. He said
that it would take only about ten
minutes to pass it.
Chairman Sims of the special water
power committee was impatient to
continue consideration of that meas
ure and gave the assurance that the
! water-pover bill would be passed to-
day early enough to ALLOW time for

NEW YORK. September 5.-The

pion at three cushions, will defend his
title against Chesebrough Otis of this
city. They will play $50 points in

fact that the challenger, sin his Ha-
vana match with DE Orc. was defeat
ed by but single point. the eastern
player is regarded as dangerous
opponent for the present champion.
Kieckhefer has shown himself to be
one of the ablest of the younger class
of billiardists and is a brilliant per-
former. Otis, who will leave for Chi
cago next week to prepare for the
match. will on his return take the

POMERENE trent"
! BILL TO Be FOUGHT
Effort Predicted to Substitute
Rival Johnson.
Measure.

/! The Pomerene anti-profiteering rent
bill. which the Senate yesterday affixed
as a rider to the emergency agricul-
tural appropriation bill. will be un-
der heavy fire in the House. There is a
strong possibility that an effort will
be made to substitute the more drastic
Johnson anti-profiteering bill in the
lower house.
| Chairman Johnson of the House Dis
trict committee. author of the rival
nti-profiteering bill, who led the
| fight against the Pomerene measure
in the House some months ago, is at
his home in Bardstown. KY, for a
few days. 1t Is known, however, that
he is an implacable opponent of the
| Pomerene measure. 1t is expected he
will marshal his support in the House
against allowing the Pomerene bill to
| be carried through as a rider.
Predicts Support of johnson.
! Representative Crosser of Ohio
ranking member of the House Dis
| trict committee. said today that he
/ feels sure Mr.. Johnson will carry on
]
bill. and that he will have strong
support from the House committee
Mr.. Crosser said it would be perfect
| 1y feasible to substitute the Johnson
bill. for which the members Of the
| House generally had declared their
preference.
Representative Lever of South Car
| DINA, chairman of the House agricul-
tural committee. is not at all pleased
| with having his emergency appro-
priatfon bill hampered by the Pome-
! rene amendment or any other rider.
He proposes to have a conference
| with Chairman Johnson of the House
District committee as soon as the lat
ter returns from Kentucky. Mr.. Lever
said also that he will hold confer
tee on House agriculture to determine
! the course of procedure with refer
! ence to the Pomerene measure.
Leaders Oppose Riders.
The attitude of the leaders in the
| House on both sides seems to be a
| strong objection to any rider being put
upon war appropriation bills. They APP
| preciate that Washington is suffering
I from serious housing congestion, and
that advantage has been taken Of the
situation for extensive prof1teering. They
say that some legislative action is neces-
| sary to serve those who are charging
| eAtOftlOnaIe prices 1Or sale or rental OIL
real estate. They express the opinion,
i however. that an ant-rent prof1teering
bill should be decided on it's own merits
and should not be rushed through as
a rider on an appropriation bill.
Friends of the Pomerene measure,
| however, are endeavoring to gain
/ support in the House, and there was
| some evidence today that members
are being Influenced by the feeling
| that the profiteering question in
Washington is such that legislation
| should be put through in any way
possible to get speedier congress
! sional action. Some members argued
| that the Pomerene measure is es-
sentially war measure. even as is
/ the emergency agricultural bill, and
they say that if tbs not put through
as a rider on an appropriation bill it
glands scant chance of receiving con-
sideration in the House for some
time. In order to get quick action,
they say that number of House
members may agree to the Pomerene
amendment.
