PASS BILL TODAY FISH ARE GASSED
Floating to Shore Cooked, They
. Delight Natives.
Then Authorities, Seeming
Poison, Say No Feed.
(By the Associated Press.l

Naples, Aug. 19.-Thousands of dead
cells, gray mullets, sea bass and other
fish have come to the surface the last
few days on Lake Lucrin, which is
separated only by a narrow sand pit
from the gulf of Naples. Fishermen
in the vicinity were delighted, espe-
cially as the fish appeared to be al
ready cooked.
Their pleasure was short lived. for
the authorities prohibited collection
of the fish, fearing they had been poi
soned by an eruption of gases. 1t was
these gases, the authorities explained
which evidently coming from the bot
tom of the lake made the water bubble
and boil. thus killing, and in a way,
cooking the fish.
Lucrin is a small lake said to have
been formed by a volcanic phenomenon
in prehistoric times. 1t was we'll
known in the time of Cicero and Hor-
ace, as they eXtolled it's oysters.

McCumber Tariff Measure Is
Ready for Final Roll.
Offering High Protection, 1t
Means Fight Later.
(By the Associated Press)

| Washington. Aug. 19.-The admin
istration tariff bill. officially the tar
iff act Of 1922" was passed late today
| by the senate after four months of
| debate. 1t now goes to the confer
ence.
Washington, Aug. 1s.-Attacking
the provisions of the tariff bill pro-
posing broad authority for the presi-
dent to increase or decrease duties.
Senator Borah, Republican. Idaho. de-
clared today in the senate that he
could not give his support to the meas
ure on the final vote later today un-
less these provisions were eliminated.
He said he could not arrive at the con-
clusion that they were constitutional.
Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis
consin, who has opposed many rates
in the administration measure ex-
II the provisions for presidential pow
ers were not in the measure, it would
be difficult" for him to vote for it.
He added that these provisions con-
stituted one of the saving features"
The Wisconsin senator said that
there were many "excessivev rates in
the bill, but that he would vote for
it in the hope that reductions would
be made in the conference committee,
IF they are not cut" he added,
then 1 shall exercise the liberty and
prerogative of voting against the bill
finally"
The ponderous McCumber perma-
nent tariff bill, hailed by the Repub-
lican party as an augury of national
prosperity but condemned by Demo-
cratic opposition as a harbinger of
economic disaster, will be enacted into
law by the senate late this afternoon.
Buffeted by seventeen weeks of sem
atorial storms, the bill will ultimately
throw the highest protective tariff wall
in history around every agricultural
and industrial interest in the United
States. Political leaders of both par
ties are preparing to hurl it into the
maelstrom of the November elections
as the technical national issue.
Protect Farmers, Supporters Say.
Its supporters declared the bill
would permanently protect American
enterprise against invasion by cheap
foreign competition, give the Ameri-
can farmer a living return from his
fields and produce $40O.O0o.000 an
nually in revenues.
Its opponents charged the measure
will tax the American consuming pub
benefit of a comparative few, will soar
the cost of existence and destroy
Americas foreign markets.
The bill, starting its voyage thru
the senate on April 20 last, has sur
vfved the bitterest political attack in
recent memory, and will be passed
this afternoon under an unanimous
consent agreement to vote at
o'clock. 1t represents a compromise
in tariff opinions between the "old
guard" leaders who controlled the
senate finance committee, the insur-
gent Republicans and the powerful
Republican tariff "bloc" which rep
resented agricultural interests.
Senator Gooding, Republican, of
Idaho. hartman of the tariff bloc"
said today the measure is the first
tariff bill in history to give the
American farmer a square deal"
From the Democratic side came
warning of bankrupt purses, of soar
ing taxes, empty cupboards and of
bread lines.

POPE TO HAVE CAR
Pontiff Presented With Ma
chine by Milan People.
Is First Time a Pope Has Ever
Owned Automobile.
(By the Associated Press.)


Rome, Aug. 19.-Pope Plus is to
have an automobile. The people of
Milan where the pontiff was arch
bishop before his election, have pre-
scented him with a machine of the
latest Italian model 1t is mauve col
ored and bears on the doors the papaI
coat of arms, surmounted by the triple
crown and pontifical keys.
The pontiff it is said will use the
car within the h--tican gardens, which
he now circles twice daily in his
promenades, q distance of three and
a quarter miles.
When the car was brought into the
vatican grounds, Pope Plus went out
to see it. I'VE will use it first to
transport the statue of Madonna of
Loretto," the pontiff said, meaning
that the car would be utilized Sep
TENDER to carry the copy of the IA
nous statue which he is to bless that
day, from the vatican to Loretto. The
virgin and child, carved from Lebanon
cedar.
New for n Pope.
This is the first time a pope ever
has owned an automobile. Some OF
the cardinals in late years have been
possessors of gas propelled cars. Car
dinal Vincenzo Vanutelh was the first
of the cardinals to have a car, it hav
ing been presented to him by Ameri
can Catholics. Cardinal Merry del
Val, when papal secretary of state,
also had a machine in which he was
wont to motor to the seashore, thir-
teen miles from Rome, to battle.
Vatican officials today remarked
the change from relatively recent
times when ecclesiastics were forbid
den even to ride bicycles.

OUT TO "GET 'EM"
Crawford County Unions After
Judge Curran.
Women Who Marched in Anna
zOn War at Work.

Coal miners and labor union forces
in Crawford county arc going to have
TO do lot of hopping about on the
ticket in the November election tn
carry out their avowed purpose of
getting the local officials who are
charged with having aided Governor
Henry J. Allen in enforcing the in
dustrial court law against Alexander
HoWat and the other miners who have
Gefied the law.
The coal miners who have remained
loyal 10 HOwat are especially deter
mined 20 get even in the November
election and they have openly de-
clared that they will use every re-
source at their command to defeat
Judge Andrew Curran, Democratic
nominee for reelection as Judge OF
the first division of the district court.
and Milf Gould, Republican nominee
for reelection as sheriff of Crawford
county.
The Howat men have succeeded in
getting strong candidates nominated
against these two officials and they
are reported to be already working
man who sent Alexander. Howat TO
sail when Howat continued to buck
the Industrial court law. This brought
hin the lasting enmity of the Howat
followers. and Milt Gould won their
cnmity when he called for troops
when the wives of the miners went on
the warpath last winter.
According to the labor union re-
ports. when the primary tickets were
being made up, the Democrats and
Republicans got together on the two
races for district judges. The Demo-
Gratis agreed not to oppose Judge
Beczley. Republican candidate for re-
nomination as Judge of the second d.
vision of the court. If the Republicans
would not put up candidate against
Judge Currau of the first division.
Then Howat Forces Awokc.
This agreement was reached and
everything appeared lovely. Then the
Howat followers got busy. They got
behind d. H. Wooley, OF Mulberry,
and induced him to become the Re-
publican candidate for district judge
against Judge Curran. That the
Howat men mean business is shown by
the official count made by the state
canvassing board. Judge Curran re-
ceived only 1.779 votes for renomina-
the Republican ticket by 5.022 votes,
only S51 votes less than Judge Beezley
received.
The hope of the Howat men in their |
war on Sheriff Milf Gould is John |
Huntington. who won the Democratic !
nomination for sheriff in a field of
four candidates. Huntington served |
as sheriff of Crawford county a num- |
her of years ago. having been elected |
on the Socialist ticket.
It is claimed that he is still a So |
cialist. and this undoubtedly will be /
used against him in the present fight. |
But the Howat men are going to do a |
said that they plan to use every wo- |
man who marched in the Amazon war |
last winter as a campaign worker /
against Gould.
