Capper TO
Renew W ar
On Futures
Kansas Senator to Reintroduce
Anti.Grain Gambling Meas
ure in Upper House on
Monday.
Changes Made in Bill
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire

Chicago Tribune Omaha bee Leased Wire.
Washington, April 9.-The Chi
cago Board of Trade was denounced
as ''the greatest gambling house in
the world" by Senator Capper OF
Kansas, in statement announcing
that Monday he would reintroduce
his anti-grain gambling bill.
The senator charged that $l5,O00,-
100000 are wagered annually in
future dealings in Chicago" and de-
clared that Chicago brokers' COM
missions are three times as great
as the earnings of the bankers OF
Monte Carlo, which heretofore has
ranked as the worlds greatest gam
bliug resort
The bill, as it will be introduced
by Senator Capper, has a number OF
new and important features, as COM
pared with the bill which the senator
sponsored at the last session. These
are calculated to meet some of the
criticisms directed at the old bill and
make it less Objectionable to legiti-
mate grain and milling interests. The
measure will be introduced in the
house by Representative Tinchcr Of
Kansas. ....
Eliminate Gambling.
"As revised, my bill, | believe,
will meet the approval of the legiti-
mate grain and milling interests"
said Senator Capper.
The bill places the grain cx-
changes under the supervision of the
bureau of markets of the Department
of Agriculture, which will conhne
what speculation there is in grain,
to the regular boards of trade. This
will end the activities of the private
wire houses, where os per cent of
the real gambling is done, and
which, dotting as they do every state
of the union, make gambling easy.
A tax OF 20 per cent on all gambling
transactions will be imposed. This
tax is intended to be and will be
prohibitive.
Senator Capper promised to pres
ent some startling facts and figures
in support of his bill.
"The transactions in futures
amounted to 81 times the actual
amount of grain produced last year,"
declared the senator today.
e,000, 100000 Bushels Traded.
"Evayone knows that the crop
was not sold anywhere near that
number Of times, The number OF
bushels OF grain dealt in on the fu-
lures market at Gti-4so last 4sas,
was three times greater than all
the production OF the world. All the
actual wheat available for the Chi
cago market amounted to less than
.2S of per cent OF the transactions
in futures. While the country pro-
duced approximately 70000O,00O
bushels Of wheat, o,000,000,000 bush
els were traded in on the Chicago
futures market alone"
Senator Capper asserted that the
40 per cent decline in the price OF
wheat in the last 20 days has been
due. in a large measure, to the ma
nipu1ation of. the big bear specula-
tors at Chicago, whose activities his
bill is designed to curb.

U. S. TIRED OF ANTI,sALOoN
LEAGUE ACTION. HE SAYS

York Beach, Maine, Aug 20.-The
United States is tired of the fantical
dictatorship Of the Anti-saloon
League, Senaor George n. Moses of
New Hampshire asserted Thursday
upon a visit here. He said that in no
other way could he explain the large
vote cast against the antiIbeer bill,
by the Senate, which bill, the senator
said would be more properly describ-
ed as bill to make Congress the
censor of the medical profession and
to put Congress into every kitchen
to analyze the flavoring extracts
used by housewives.
Senator Moses said he had high
hopes for the coming disarmament,
but that he would oppose any con-
vention which would rob the Unit
ed States , of it's relative naval
strength. He said the conference
could accomplish helpful results il
it would approach the question from
the standpoint of the taxpayer.

Mr.. Bolling's Exoneration.

In formally announcing its exonera.
tion of R. w. Boiling Of a charge O,
improper conduct in connection with
Ship Board transaction, the House
special committee has closed an Incl
dent that has given pain to many
Washingtonians. Mr.. Boiling, a resi-
dent OF the capital for years, in high
standing, was accused Of dealings that
If verified. would have subjected him
to the severest censure If not to prose
cution. The committee, after an ex
haustive inquiry. finds no basis for the
charge. Beyond a business associa
ton that. Mr.. Boiling himself ha.
acknowledged publicly, was unfor.
tunate and injudicious, there was moth
ing whatever in the matter to war
rant the least question as to his in.
tegrity Of purpose or action, This
outcome Of the case is gratifying to
Mr.. Bolling's friends, who have never
credited the accusation and have hoped
for a full. formal exoneration such as
that which the committee has now

ing nine deaths in this service in less
than fourteen months.
When the airplane mail service was
established it was recognized as an
experiment. But it has been regu.
larized and scheduled flights are con.
Quoted. The air mail pilots take off
on their routes without reference tC
weather, and several of the fatal ac.
cidents have been result of unfavor'
able atmospheric conditions.
In addition to the nine men whose
lives have been sacrificed in these ac
cidents much mail has been destroyed
by fire, constituting an irretrievable
loss. The risk attending an air mail
letter is much greater than that in
cident to the regular mail service. A
feeling prevails that it would. per
haps, be better to devote the money
expended in this expensive expert
ment to the Improvement of collec-
tion and delivery methods in the
larger cities, where the mail service
is yet far from perfect. 1t is of slight
advantage to the user of the mails
to have his letter transported between
cities in half the usual time only to
have it reach destination little or no
sooner owing to the congestion in the
house-to-house distribution.

Mr.. Harding and Congress.

These subjects have been promi'
nent In the discussions at Marion and
at st. Augustine: The tariff. taxation,
the merchant marine, the Army. the
Navy and the best means for promot.
ing world peace.
On these subjects Mr.. Harding has
had the opinions Of men in and out
OF Congress who are familiar with
them. They have called on him by
invitation, and with the knowledge
that they were expected to lay their
best information before him. Pre-
sumably, they have done so.
On these subjects President Hard
ing will at one time or another, and
soon, communicate with Congress.
That body will be expecting to hear
from him, and, there is reason to be-
lieve, will be much Influenced by his
recommendations.
If we can handle these subjects
particularly the first three named-in
a way to satisfy the country and
fully restore confidence, we may prom
Use ourselves a return of prosperity
and a general stabilization of our ma
tional affairs. A new tariff will put
'4pep" into production, readjustment
of taxes will remove some complaints
now justly made, while a merchant
marine operated in the interests of
American trade will materially ad-
vance our foreign trade policy.
Mr.. Harding then will take hold
well prepared for the most important
work pressing for attention. If he
scores at the special session he will
be likely to score at the regular ses-
sion; and two scores should go long
way toward the election Of another
fppublican Congress and his re-elec-
doa In 1924.
