SENATE SPENDS8 HOURS ON TARIFF,
 BUT DOESuTT[E
Only One Item Disposed of and Night Session Abandoned to Permit Pages to At-
 tend Circus
By Associated Pres.

Washington, May 16.-The Senate had the tariff bill before it for eight hours today but disposed of only a single item, approving the committee rate of 25 per cent ad valorem on mustard and other cura- tive plasters. The usual night ses- sion was abandoned so that the Sem ate pages might attend a circus.
 The session today began an hour earlier than usual with the expressed view of experimenting with a meet ing in what had been denominated as the daylight hours"
 The progress made, however, was unsatisfactory to those in charge of tho bill and decision was had to re- sunse night meetings tomorrow with continuous eleven hours sessions as heretofore.
 Much of the discussion today was of a general character. It included a prepared address by Senator Cap per, republican, Kansas, head of the Senate agricultural bloc, attacking American valuation, and an extended debate between Senator Goodfng, of Idaho, chairman of the republican agricultural tariff bloc. and Sena- tor Underwood of Alabama. the dem- ocratic leader as to the value of a protective tariff to the agricultural industry.
 Discussion was enlivened late in the day by Senator Harrison, dem- ocrat, Mississippi, who accused tho republicans of trying to delay the tariff bill and wound up by hum orous reading of the free list, with stress laid on such items as dried blood. joss sticks and skeletons. This led to a reply from Senator McCum- Der, republican, North Dakota, in charge of the bill, who, in sarcastic vein. said that what some foiks might describe as humor really only was "hilarity."
 While Senator Capper was de- nouncing American valuation In the Senate as a system desired by some manufacturers because they believed that by it they could conceal rom the American people the extent to which they desire to raise rates Chairman Fordney of the ways ana means committee, urged that sys. tenn In the House. MT. Fordney had A table piled high with imported articles, on which. he said. the gov ernment was defrauded by unoer valuation through the foreign vaiua- ton system.

'LAUDERDALE STOCK LAW. IS DECLARED
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL
High Court Holds Jurors May Take Liquor Into Jury Room If They so
 Desire

Montgomery, May 16.-(special.)- J. Lauderdale county's stock law felt the full force and effect of the con stitution of Alabama Tuesday In double barrelled decision of the su- preme court and the court of ap- peals the law was rendered invalid and Lauderdale county must return to the general law governing stock.
 The representatives of Lauderdale county in 1919 had the legislature pass local law based on popula- ton which prohibited the running at large of stock In that county. The constitution of 1901 says that no local stock law shall be passed and that any stock law placed on the books in Alabama must apply to all counties alike. The supreme court gave the court of appeals a decision holding that the Lauderdale act vio- lated the constitution and the court of appeals Tuesday afternoon rem dered a decision to the same effect. The question came up in the case of the State versus Sam Williams. The Lauderdale circuit court held the To- cal act to be invalid and the su- preme court and court of appeals affirmed the judgment.
 Omit Word Guilty
 In another interesting case the court of appeals held that the omis- sion of the word guilty" from a verdict of jury does not invalidate the verdict. George o. Huckaba of Covlngton county was tried for vio- lating the prohibition laws. The jury returned the following verdict: We. the jury, find the defendant and assess his fine at $50" Huckaba contended that as the word guilty" did not appear one could not know what was the intent of the jury. The supreme court ruled that the fixing of the fine showed what was in the minds of the jurors.
 Huckaba also contended that he should have another trial because the jury was permitted to take the liquor offered as evidence into the jury room. The court of appeals ruled that a jury had a perfect right to take all the evidence into the jury room, whether the evidence consisted of liquor or any other article or commodity.
