the wild in a battle between a big
black bear and cow in the barn of
George Hollonby. on the Promise
Land road, east of here. The bear
tried to carry off a calf, and the COW
went to the rescue. Severely claw
ed and with one horn torn away, she
carried the fight to the bear in such
style that bruin was forced to give
up.
The little calf was the only spec
tator to the fight, but the Hollenby
family saw the bear making her re-
treat, The animal ran against a. rug
hanging against a clothesline and
tore it into shreds. Farmers failed
to get a shot at her, but there have
been many visits from bears of late
and residents are loading for them.

DRASTIC BILL TO
CURB RADICALS
PASSES SENATE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-,An anti
sedition bill prescribing severe PEN
allies for acts or propaganda advo-
eating overthrow of the government
by force or violence was passed by
the senate today without q record
vote. The measure now goes to the
house.
Maximum penalties fixed in the
bill are a fine of $4,000 and five
years Imprisonment, applying to all
acts or circulation of literature in
furtherance of foreible overthrow of
the government. The bill also bars
from the mails any matter advocat-
ing force or sabotage.
The principal attack on the bill
was aimed at the mail exclusion Sec
ton, which opponents declared would
confer press censorship power on the
postmaster general. Advocates OF
the measure, however, denied the bill
would limit constitutional rights of
free speech or assemblage. Under
an amendment by Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Idaho, accepted by the SEN
alta persons against whom this
clause is invoked can appeal to fed
eraL courts,
The bill prohibits persons from ad-
violating or advising by speech, writ
ing or printing the forcible overthrow
of the United States or all govern
ment, or by physical injury TO per-
son or property. 1t also would PEN
alize attempts or acts hindering ex-
ecution of laws, or federal agents in
their duties.
Another section prohibits display
Of flags, banners or emblems intend.
ed to symbolic advocacy of force
against the government.
Aliens violating the act would be
subject to deportation and perma-
nent exclusion after serving the i'm
prisonment provided.
The BILL drawn by Senator Sterl-
ing, Republican, South Dakota, has
been heralded as a measure against
Reds" and their propa ganda. 1t goes
to the house for consideration in con-
nection with sedition legislation now
being prepared by the house judiciary
committee, and in a measure is a
substitute for legislation recommend
ed by Attorney General Palmer.
Senator Sterling told the senate
today the bill did not penalize peace
full agitation, looking to changes in
the government. This was criticised
by. Senator MeKeller, Democrat, Ten
nessees as an alleged weakness. The
Tennessee senator declared the bill
would not reach DANGEROUS anarchists
and other radicals who preach in
sidious propaganda against the gov
ernment suggesting violence, while
disclai ming advocacy of force. He
offered an amendment designed to
extend the bills penalties to peace
full efforts to overthrow the govern
ment, but it was rejected summarily
without a record vote. The Nickel
Ter amendment also proposed a penal
colony for Reds" at Guam or soma
other island under government juris-
diction.
The senate also rejected an amend
ment by Senator Pomerene, Demo-
crat, Ohio, proposing that the bill
apply to attempts against states as
we'll as the federal government

1nsures Prize Hen
For $1,000 POLICY

PORTLAND, Ore.-lt isn't every
hen that can carry around q $4,000
life insurance policy, but that is the
amount of insurance placed on one of
the hens at the poultry show here.
This hen is a White Leghorn, own
ed by Or. Tancred of Kent, Wash.
She set a worlds record for produc-
ton by laying 500 eggs in 365 days,
ended Sept, 16. This is about four
times the production of the average
hen, so her value in the poultry
world can eaEIly be seen.
Her owner consented to allow her
to be placed on exhibition by one of
the poultryafeed companies, but stip-
ulated that she must be insured for
$4,000.

First Woman Fox Hunter

Fox hunting in England is a com
paratively modern "sport," dating
roughly from the middle of the eight
zenith century, previous to which
foxes were considered vermin. Squire
Bootroby was probably the first man
to keep a real pack of foxhounds;
but, according to '"The London Chron-
icle," the Countess of Salisbury,
great-grandmother of the present
Marquis, was the first woman that
hunted her own hounds. She not
only kept her own pack, but con-
tinued to hunt with them until she
was so old that she had be be tied
on to her saddle. This intrepid old
lady was burned to death in the dis
astrous fire which destroyed the west
wing of Hatfield House in 1885.

revocation of licenses granted by the
commission for malpractice or other
unethical dealing.
