Bill Aims to Destroy All Manipu.
Iation, Tincher, Its Author
Explains.
TO TAX TRANSACTIONS
Chicago Board Of Trade May Close lts
: Doors II Bill Becomes I Law,
Joseph p. Griffin, Presi-
dent, Declares. g

Wash:ngton-The Tincher bill TO
regulate dealings In grain futures was
passed by the House and sent to the
Senate.
The vote was 269 to 50.
The measure is designed to abolish
the practice in grain markets Of puts
and calls" ups" and downs" and
"indemnities" by levying a tax Of 20
cents a bushel on such transactions. A
similar tax is provided on contracts for
future delivery, made outside Of "con-
tract markets" to be designated by the
Secretary Of Agriculture, except when
the seller is actual p~ossessor OF the
g Lin.
The bill went through practically In
its committee from and will absolute
ly destroy manipulation" according to
Representative Tincher, Republican,
Kansas, its author, although it does
not abolish what is known to the grain
trade as the Legitimate hedge" he
said. F.
Chicago Board May Close Doors.
Chicago-The Chicago Board Of
Trade, the worlds greatest grain mar.
F
ket, may withdraw from business II the
Tincher bill to regulate dealings in
grain futures which was passed by the
lower House Of Congress, becomes a
law, Joseph p. Griffin, president of the
board, declared in a, statement.
while / do not speak with authority
for my exchange excepting the Chicago
Board OF Trade" the statement said,
1T is my deliberate Judgment that the
grain exchanges of the country will
voluntarily withdraw from business
and close their market places rather
than submit to the intolerable, unfair
and arbitrary features of this bill. The
exchanges do not protest regulation
and should there be ayil in their bust
ness, they have no objection to legis.
lation if they themselves fail to eradi-
cate such evil.

NILES NAY SPLIT.
On UPPER SILESA.
Strained Relations Are Brought
About Between France
and England.
DOUBT LLOYD GEORGE
French Premier Takes Exception to
Argument That Upper siIesla 10
Cerman-Germany chafes
t at Delay.

Paris.-"France could not remain
disinterested If Germany sent troops
into Upper Silesia to attack the Poles"
Premier BRAND declared in replying
to Premier Lloyd Georges speech in
the commons last week.
''f Germany sent in her troops it
will bring US to the verge Of very
grave consequence" he continued, so
grave that 1 refuse to discuss Them"
The premier summoned the news
paper correspondents to his office n
through them made a direct reply to
Premier Lloyd George, fatty denying
Lloyd Georges assertion that Upper
Silesia is Of German origin.
He declared that France could never
accept a settlement giving the mining
region in dispute to Germany. The
premier admitted absolute disagree
ment between the allies-Britaln hold
ing n thesis, Italy another, France
a~nother-and that they are unable to
get together.
Two Clashes Seen.
The Upper Silesian situation Is
rapidly developing into IN interna-
tional crisis, holding the dual danger
OF a Polish-G German war and a split in
the entente, according to well informed
observers here. Lloyd Georges speech
In the house Of commons practically
threatening Poland has caused great
sensation throughout France, both in
official and nonofficial circles.
Germany Grows Impatient.
Anglo-French relations are being
strained to the breaking point, several
Paris newspapers declared in COM
menting OF Lloyd Georges speech re-
garding the Upper Silesian situation.
At the same time, it was learned from
semi-official sources that France is
determined to enforce the program
awarding most of the industrial dis
trfcts in Upper Silesia to Poland
which Britain opposed. 1t was said
that Premier BRAND would refuse to
participate in the next meeting OF the
supreme council unless the allies will
accept in principle his Polish policies.
German army officers, however, are
growing impatient to come to grips
with the Poles before the latter can
cause further irreparable damage to
railroads, factories and mines. Infor-
nation was received here that the
Poles had destroyed the Kosel bridge.
Germans Ready to Act.
Berlin.-The German army Is ready
to invade Upper Silesia Immediately in
an effort to drive out the Polish in
surgents, it has been learned from
semi-official sources. The German
press is completely satisfied with
Lloyd Georges speech but cautions the
government to wait official permission
from the allies before sending the
troops into disputed territories.

ON DRY LAWS
House Starts Task Of Tightening
Prohibition Enforcement.
VoIstead Offers Supplement Designed
to Administer Knockout to
Palmer Ruling. "'

Washington-Congress started the
work of plugging up the leaks in the
enforcement of national prohibition.
The plugs" are found in a supplement
to the Volstead law, proposed by Rep.
r~esentative A. J. Volstead of Mime
sofa, which has the united support of
the A%nti-saloon league and most of
the drys in congress. Hearings on the
supplement were commended be-
fore the house judiciary committee of
which Volstead is chairman. =
The primary object of the drys in
demanding legislation in addition to
the Volstead law is to administer a
knockout blow to the ruling of former
Attorney General A. M. Palmer that
peer is a medicine and may be pre-.
scribed in unlimited quantities.
The main provisions of the, Vol
'tead supplement are:
Absolute prohibition against the pre-.
7cribing Of beer as medicine. s.
An embargo OF the manufacture and
.mportations OF liquors until the
amount of such liquor now in distil.
leries or other bonded warehouses
shall have been reduced to a quantity
that, in the opinion of the prohibition
commissioner, will with liquor that
may thereafter be manufactured, be
sufficient to supply the current need
thereafter for all non-beverage pur-
poses."r
Greater restrictions on the use of
alcohol in the making Of patent medi-
cines.
Extension of the law to the Virgin
Islands and Hawaii. J.

Berlin-Germany has accepted the
Allied ultimatum. y:
The Reichstag by vote Of 221 to It's,
yielded to the final demands Of the al
lied powers, and, in SO doing agreed
to fulfill the terms Of the treaty Of
Versailles .""to the capacity Of the ma
ton"
DR.. With, Centrist leader, finally
succeeded in forming a Coalition cabi,
net, composed of Centrists, Majority
Socialists and Democrats, which, con
fronted by grave necessity, speedily
decided that acceptance of the ultima
tum wal the only course
In making this announcement to the
Reichstag, the new chancellor asked
for an immediate decision by that body.
and, in voting shat followed, the gov
eminent was sustained. q
Definite Reply Demanded.
The Allied ultimatum required a
definite reply, based o n "yes" or mo-"
No conditional reply would be enter
tanned, and the ultimatum was for
mulated to expire on the night of May
IL.
The total sum, which Germany is
called on to pay $780, O0, 900 pounds
sterling, disarmament must be car
ried out, in accordance with provisions
Of the treaty, and the trial Of war
criminals must be put into effect.
Numerous other important terms in
which Germany has been in default,
will be enforced. 10 TIL
Noncompliance with the Allied ulti-
matum would have subjected Germany
to occupation by the Allies of the
Ruhr valley, and to whatever other
military, and naval measures were
deemed advisable. &
The new cabinet is generally re-
garded Is a makeshift, largely unrep-
resentative, yet good enough to accept
the Entente ultimatum, and thus avoid
a French advance into the Ruhr.

The vote was 63 to %.
Seven Democrats, Senators Brous-
sard, Louisiana; Jones, New Mexico;
Kendrick, Wyoming; Myers, Montana;
Pittman, Nevada; Ransdell, Louisiana,
and Sheppard, Texas, voted with the
Republicans IN passing the bill. An
other Democrat, Senator Ashurst OF

Moses Votes With Opposition.
Only I'M Republican, Senator Moses
OF New Hampshire, voted against the
bill.
AS passed by the Senate, the meas
ure differs radically from the form in
which It vas passed by the House
early IN the extra session. It now goes
to conference. Only the tariff features
Of the bill were kept intact, the anti
dumping and currency revaluation sec
ton being entirely rewritten and the
provision added for continuation OF the
wartime restrictions on imports of dye
stuffs.
Action by the Senate came at the
end OF five hours of driving attack by
Democratic leaders. The latter, how
ever. were not alone ii their attempts
to amend the measure, for several Re-
publicans made efforts to broaden its
scope. All proposals were swept aside
by practically the same vote.
Effective for Six Months.
AS passed by the Senate the bill
is to be effective for six months by
the end Of which time, it is hoped, the
permanent tariff law, now being
framed by the House Ways and Means
committee, will have been enacted. it
provides rates OF duty on wheat, corn,
beans. peanuts, potatoes, rice, cattle,
sheep, meats, long staple cotton and
cotton manufactures, wool and wool
manufactures, sugar, milk, wrapper
and filler tobacco, and other farm pro-
ducts. 81
Curb on Cheap Imports.
In addition to the tarif provisions,
the bill carries an anti.dumping sec
ton designed to check the influx Of
cheaply manufactured foreign goods.
Provision is made, for the Inspection
OF foreign exporters books to deter
mine costs. where necessary, for the
assessment OF duties. Tie present
wartime control of importations Of
dyestuffs is continued. !.
Provision is made TOR the revalua-
ton OF all foreign currency on the

Terror reigned in the towns in the
zone of fire ais night fell and it was
learned the authorities had failed to
apprehend any of the attacking force.
The bulk OF shooting heretofore has
been done at night. Virtually all lights
were extinguished and residents kept
close under cover. \ !
The outflanking expedition was de-
clared by the authorities to be vir.
tually the only hope of routing or cap.
turing the attackers. .
The state police were virtually help
less, as the attacking forces in the
mountains were completely screened
by foliage and boulders, while the po-
lice in order to attempt a direct attack
would have been obliged to cross the
open valley and climb the rugged slopes
in full view Of the hidden marksmen.

he said. Women and children
screamed, and cried in terror, while
