"A DETENTION HOME CHANGES ARE MADE IN
lis OPINION Of RANKIN CAPPER-T|NCHER BILL
Provisions Aimed at Bucket
Shop" Are Stricken From
Measure.

Washington, Aug. 6-Amendments
to the CapperTincher bill to regulate
future dealings in grain were agreed
upon Saturday by the senate agriculture
committee, include a decision to strike
privately owned or leased telegraph
and telephone lines from correcting
with cities in which grain exchanges
are not located. 1t was held that while
aimed at bucket shops" the provision
would deprive producers of means of
obtaining market reports to aid in dis
posing of their grain.
The committee proposal to give the
federal trade commission access by or
der of the secretary of agriculture to
reports made by grain exchanges also
goes out but authority for the secretary
to call for such reports and make them
available to the attorney general will
be insisted upon.
l.. +. Gates of the Chicago board OF
trade, opposed the elimination of leased
wire privileges and said that the pro-
posed federal trade commission exam
ination of books would give the com
mission authority to explore the bus
mess of partnerships and firms not
now subject to its jurisdiction. He also
contended that provisions of the bill
permitting cooperative marketing as
sociations which become members of
grain exchanges to rebate commissions
would be a powerful lever to compel all
dealers to join such associations,
threatening monopolistic control by the
nroducers

SECRETARY WEEKS
URGES EMBARGO ON
GERMAN CHEMICALS
Claims United States Needs
Protection to Encourage In
dustry in This Country.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Secretaries
Weeks and DENLY have come out in
support of an embargo on dyes and
chemicals and have urged restoration
to the Fordney tariff bill of the en-
barge provision, stricken out by the
house. The attitude of the two cab
met officers was made known Saturday
when Chairman Penrose of the senate
finance committee made public letters
from them to the committee on the SUBJ
ject.
The cabinet officers claimed that they
favored an embargo because of ma
tional defense needs.
Value to Navy.
''It is of great value to the navy"
Mr.. Denby wrote, ito encourage devel-
opment of chemical activities in the
ed with explosives and gases especially
ments can easily be delivered to the
restoration of the embargo clause will
be of material help and I will greatly
appreciate assistance to this effect"
Embargo orders have been found
necessary in England, Japan, France,
and Italy, Mr.. Weeks said. He also
declared that the chemical industry
was vital to Germany in prolonging her
efforts in the world war and expressed
the opinion that high explosives and
war gases would play a far more i'm
portant part in future wars.
Short on Munitions.
In the world war, he said, the United
States had found it could mobilize,
train and equip with clothing four mil
lion men far quicker than it could
supply the guns and ammunition. He
related how the munitions makers had
worked feverishly to supply the NUM-
tions and war gases, adding that even
then little was available for more than
a year after the formal declaration of
war. /

In contrast to Miss Stones volubility
was the brevity Of Mrs. Marc Louise
hlnkead, who was preparing to take
her husbands body Sunday to Coving-

reIterate her faith in her husband.
Recovers Composure.
Nervous and trembling after a
sleepiess night, Miss Stone recovered
ner composure Saturday when she

arraigned.
1t was while riding in a patrol wag-
on that she talked most freely. Sketch

she said:
That she had met him in Cincinnati
1918, when she nursed him for a
nervous breakdown.
That he then made love to her
oh, he was a very fast worker" was
the way she put him.
That she gave him $1,000 to invest
or her, but that she never saw il
again.
That his love waned and she had got

CINCINNATI law school in 1920 after he
had refused to marry her.

, For months now the farm press has.
industriously and consistently been col
lecting data tending to show that the
cost of railroad transportation Of
farm products is unduly great In
stances have been brought to light
which show that the producer has some
times been unable to market farm
goods at price sufficient to pay the
cost of hauling them to market.
Ocean freight rates have been declin
ing somewhat but only, the department
Of agriculture announces, in about the
same proportion that the value of farm
products has declined There is then,
no net gain for the farmer and no
greater opportunity to dispose of his
goods abroad. Railroad rates in the
United States. on the other hand, have
remained as high as ever.
Situations Compared.
To illustrate what the American
farmer Is up against IN trying to reach
he market, the department of agr1-
culture shows that the average farmer
n the Argentine can get his wheat to
England for So cents a bushel as
against 40 cents for the American
farmer, assuming that the latter has
lis wheat laid down free of govern
ment tax.
The idea of cooperative marketing,
advised by many farmers organisations,
urged in the same manner by senators,
aas made many converts among the
agricultural population but perhaps of
equal Importance is the movement to
supply local markets first.
In the south there is Of late a mark
ed tendency to get away from the ex-
elusive growing of tobacco and cotton
two crops in which the southern
states have almost monopoly-and to
row instead, as a first consideration,
crops that will make the south self
sustaining.
South Can Help Seh
Thus far it has been necessary for
he south to import many products
rom all parts of the country and it's
dependence in this respect has forced
it to market tobacco and cotton at fig
ures fixed by the purchaser
Agricultural college experts in the
south now contend that if the south
will develop general farming to the
