After hearing Senator Capper de-
nounce the Chicago board Of trade
as "the biggest gambling hell In the
world" the senate passed the bill for
federal regulation Of grain exchanges.
Some Of the more drastic features OF
the bin as adopted by the house were
eliminated and the differences must
be adjusted In conference. As passed
by the senate the measure seeks to:
Abolish transactions known as "in.
IDENTITIES" or puts and calls" by

taxes, that the revenue Dill would
show only revision and not reduction
because Of the necessarily large ex-
penses Of government. II now appears
they have found way to fulfill the
promise. President Harding and the
majority leaders of the house got to-
gether last week and agreed on a
program by which government expen-
ditures will be cut S516,UO,OOO. This
calls for the raising Of S3,O75,UO,OOO
from internal taxation, which Is S495,-
OOO,0OO less than the total which the
treasury estimated would be the yield
Of the present law during the fiscal
year, 1922. The total TO be raised
from all sources, but not including
postal receipts, will be S4,O34,OOO,OOO.
According to the agreement, saving
In the various departmental apprO-
priatiOns will amount to $35,OOO,OOO,
and a plan was devised whereby the
public debt expenditures will be re-
duced Sl50.OOO.OO0.
II was the earnest desire Of the Re
publican leaders that the imposition
Of new taxes be avoided, and under
the present plan the proposed $40 tax
on automobiles, the Scent postage
and 2-cent stamp on bank checks will
be unnecessary.

committee disagreed with the results
Of the conference with the President,
and the changes II has made TO date
lower the yield from internal taxes
To S3.02O.UUOoO. OF course all these
things are dependent on further ac-
tion by the committee and acceptance
by the house and senate.
The losses in revenue below the
present law which will result from
the program as IL now stands include
$3.50, 100000 from repeal of the excess
profits tax, S90,O0O.OOO from the re-
duction In the higher surraxes, Sl45.-
100000 from repeal OF the tax OF 3

the repeal Of the soda fountain tax,

a few smaller items which bring the

action OF the ways and means com
mittee Of the house. which Is framing
the revenue bill. concerning the per
sonal income tax. IL was voted that
the allowatce for each dependent
shall be S4OO instead OF 500 as at

large family. A proposition TO In
crease the present exemption OF ST.

heads of families to 81, 500 and s.. 500

would have meant loss of revenue

There will be no tax above the 81 per

Tariff Advocated
For Protection of
Southern Industries

GREENSBORO, N. c., Aug. 10
Protection of southern industries
through the imposition of tariff
on foreign products was declared es-
sential for the development of home
enterprises, in an address before the
southern tariff congress here Mon
day by John H. Kirby, of Houston,
Tex, president of the organization,
in opening the fifth congress.
Southern statesmen, Mr.. Kirby as
serted, will be rebuked by their con-
stituents if they fail to heed the call
for a protective tariff to safeguard
the south from being overwhelmed by
foreign products, manufactured with
cheap labor and imported to compete
with American manufacturers.
Mr.. Kirby denied that the organi-
cation is a partisan affair and as
serted that 95 per cent of it's mem
berShip is democratic.
The afternoon session was devoted
largely tc the appointment Of COM
mittees and transactions of business
matters.
At night Senator E. E. Ladd, of
North Dakota, addressed the CON
gress. Senator Ladd was scheduled
to speak in the afternoon, but a
change in the program necessitated
postponing his address until night.
The congress was opened by E. P.
Wharton, of Greensboro, president
of the North Carolina division, and
will conclude it's session Tuesday
afternoon.

Vincent Begins l-Year
Term; New Trial Asked
On Murder Charge

DALTON. Ca, Aug. 16.-Verner
Vincent, the Gainesville travelling
salesman who, last year, killed
Smith Treadwell in the latter's
garage at Chatsworth, was given
life sentence, plus an additional year,
in Murray superior court. Previous
to the hearing Of the main charge
of murder, Vincent entered a plea of
guilty for carrying a concealed
weapon, and Judge Tarver sentenced
him to a year on the changing. He
will begin his service on the Whit
field county changing while his at
torneys attempt to secure a new trial
for him on the murder charge.
The case was given to the jury
Friday night, and the jury reached a
verdict about the middle of the aft
ernoon Saturday. The verdict was
guilty of murder with recommends
ton for mercy. The case was tried
at a previous term, resulting in a
mistrial, at which time 1t was said
the jury stood eleven for acQuittal
and one for conviction.
Vincent's defense was that he shot
Treadwell while Treadwell was
reaching for a weapon. His state
ment was that he had been informed
that Treadwell was going to kill
him because he had taken a drink
of whisky in the presence of Tread
wells sister; that he kept away from
Chatsworth for time, and then en-
tered TreadwelPs garage for the pur-
pose of making amends, and only
shot to save his own life. Employees
of the garage swore that Vincent
entered and asked for Treadwell, and
when he was pointed out to him, he
began shooting.

EDISON DOES SLEEP I
MORE THAN 1 HOURS

IN CAMP, via Oakland, Md,-"Do
you believe Thomas Edison sleeps
only four hours night?'
That question has been asked
more often than any other concern
ing the worlds greatest inventor
and never answered till today.
But now here is tho straight OF
herself, who has just explained to
me her husbands theory S-nd system
of sleep
Edison does sleep only four hours
a night. and sometimes less than
that-when he's working.
But when he plays and relaxes, he
catches up in sleep. He sleeps at
night and he maps through the day
seven hours, ten hours, sometimes a
great deal more.
Rests scientifically
Mr.. Edison takes his rest scien-
tifcally,' said Mrs. Edison. when
he works he works hard and works
long hours. When he sleeps he
sleeps just as hard.
This is the time when he sleeps
here in camp. Another time is
when we go to our winter home at
Fort Myers, on the west coast of
Florida.
Down there he almost kibernates,
and with sleep he rebuilds himself
against another rigorous spell Of
work. We have hammocks all around
one hammock 80 another, Sleeping
his way around the house, moving
on as the sun drives him out.
Maps Between Maps
sometimes at night he may sleep
only few hours. But when he is
back close to nature-to the trees
and woods and creeks he loves-he
sleeps during the day.
He goes to sleep in a chair, on
the ground or in a hammock. Tie
has a most peculiar power of dge->.
ping into heavy slumber instantly
and in a short time rousing for a
sort of intermission.
For while he reads, and then
sleeps--takes a walk, and sleeps
fishes for a while. and then drops
off-eats and then maps"
He even mapped in chair while
Bishop w. F. Anderson conducted
Sunday services.
IF didn't know how deaf Mr..
Edison Is" smiled Bishop Anderson,
II might charge myself with preach
ing him to sleep!"
Mrs. Edison laughed and said:
cit is one of Mr.. Edison's chief
hearing he cannot attend church
services. He used to try, but he
couldn't hear word that was said.
Nevertheless, his every instinct Is
Christian.
