BILL THROUGH
Grain Exchanges Under
Federal Control
(Associated Pressl

Washington, d. c., Aug. 10.-The
CapperTincher anti-grain gambling
bill, designed to bring the grain ex-
changes Of the country under COM
plete control Of the government,
passed the senate yesterday after
noon without a record vote.
Senator Capper, in charge Of the
measure, made brief statement ex-
planning the amendment that had
been made m the measure by the
committee On agriculture, and the
amendments were adopted without
opposition. The bill which already
had passed the house will now go to
conference.
Senator Capper stated that the bill
as perfected by the committee had
the full approval Of the secretary Of
agriculture, and of the various farm
organizations. He said it was a very
much better measure than it was in
the form in which it passed the
house.
The enactment Of this legislation,
which is now assured, for it is as
concur in the senate amendments, or
that an agreement will be reached
in conference without srious diff
Guilty, ends fight Of more than 25
years duration to bring the grain
exchanges Of the country under gov
ernment control.
While opposition to the bill had
been vigorous up until recently, It
faded away at the last when it be-
came known that the Republican
majority had made the measure
part of the legislative program to
be put through before the senate
summer recess.
The bill seeks to accomplish the
following principal purposes:
1. To abolish transactions known
as 'indemnities" or "puts and calls"
by levying prohibitive tax.
2. To admit cooperative associas
ti0ns of producers to membership in
legally recognized grain exchanges.
3. To permit dealing in futures,
but only in certain markets, thirteen
in number, designated by the secre-
tary Of agriculture.
4. To empower the secretary of
agriculture to compel grain ex-
changes to make regulations pre-
venting manipulation Of the market.
5. To require exchanges to ex-
ercise diligence in preventing dis
semination Of false crop reports by
their members.
6. To require exchanges to keep |
records of all transactions for in
spection by the secretary Of agricul- |
ture or the department of justice.

Or a Divorce Suit Is Not Valid In
Kansas
(Associated Press)

Topeka Aug. 10-Even though the
principals in divorce suit were mar
ried In Kansas withina o year prior to
the filing of the suit by either party,
it Is necessary that the plaintiff shall
have been resident Of the state one
year before such suit can have a legal
standing in Kansas courts. This was
the opinion of Judge James A. Nc
Clure in the Shawnee county district
court in disInissing the suit brought
by Mrs. Bell Keller against A. Keller,
u Reno county farmer. The evidence
showed. that Mrs. Keller, formerly
Mrs. Bell Wilson of Woodward, Okla,
came to Kansas and met Keller at
Nickerson, Kansas, last May, fol-
lowing a correspondence courtship,
and on May 10 they were married at

THE uPHEAVAL

An awful turmoil seethes and shakes,
The old doth crumble fast;
Old wood, bid stone and gffded crowns,
Old rule, old creed and cast.
The fortressed walls Of wealth and
sham,
The pride Of place and power.
Crush down to earth as waking right
Doth knell their final hour.
Not Russiaj but the hate of men
Is stirred itself to rend;
For evil is not thus increased,
But unmasked to its end.
More healthful than the sullen lower
OF clouds not yet burst through,
Are rushing winds and driving rains
Which leave earth fresh and new.

"BILL" AN ORIGINAL ELK
And. He's a. Member Now Of the New
York Lodge
Associated Press)

(A1s0CiAted Pross)
Yellowstone Park, Wy0., Aug. 10
"Bill," the outlaw elk of Yellowstone,
has been adopted by members Of New
York lodge B. p. o. Il.
Bill had been In disgrace. His
crime lay in being too tame. Resi-
dents of Mammoth, where park head
quarters are located, spoiled Bill by
teaching him to eat from their
hands. From a pet he became
pest.
Then came the crowd of New
York Elks, visiting the park on their
way home from their recent Los An
geles convention. "Hello, Bill" cried
one to an approaching group. Bill
knows his name, and thinking he was
being summoned, hurried up for
food.
So surprised was Patrick Nc
Grath, exalted ruler Of the New
York lodge, that he dropped slip Of
paper he had been holding, with
other mail, in his hand. 1t was a
membership application.
Now Bill has a particular fondness
for scraps Of paper and many maga-
zine hero and telephone number
have disappeared down his throat.
A moment later and Bill had a mem
bership tucked inside Of him.

mo state highways were abandoned

''The matter of abandoning state
highways was never mentioned, and
the only thing about this whole mat

first. 1t is true that no appropriation
was made for either of these roads

to Major L. d. Blauvelt, no highways
will be abandoned until public hear

have an opportunity to be heard. My

the first to disarm.
There never will be any peace

Ralph overheard his father say dur

The boy pondered over this, for
he had toy cannon. Finally he
tucked the cannon under his arm,
boarded a street car and started for
Oakland, not far away.
An hour later an Oakland police
man discovered the boy, tear-stained
and lost on the Oakland streets. The
officer took the lad in hand. At the

give up his cannon that all the world
might be at peace.
The cannon was solemnly accepted
by the police and when Mrs. Waisen-
en- phoned a few minutes later to

This is a new motor car which Herr
Rumpler, a German scientific invent

as his plan the shape of falling

effect is helped by the mud guards,
which are placed SO as to resemble
wings. The car has only a 10 horse
power motor, but because of its re-
duced resistance it can make rs miles
an hour. OF course the cost of it is
low, which is prime consideration
with the Germans at present.
