Gently passed by the Reiehstag for

The new decree somit is the clause
in the Reichstag enactmentnrela

cial tribunal, the competence Of the
German minister OF the interior to
prohibit meetings and suppress as
sociations, and the competence of
the central government to prohibit
members of former ruling houses
now living abroad from entering
Germany. 1t also declines to allow

The socialist section of the Ba-
varian Landlag has issued man
ifesto declaring that every attempt
to counteract the Reichstag legiis-

lie is an attack upon the political
unity of the nation, while the Ba-
varian insistence upon special

WOOL TARIFF FIGHT

wASHINGTo ON, July 25.-Sena-
tor wadsworth, Republican. New
York. joined today with Senator
Leuroot, Republican, Wisconsin. In
the fight on duties on coarse woods,
proposed in the pending tariff bill.
Wadsworth said he did not believe
a rate. equivalent to 137 per cent
ad valorems or even of 80 per cent
on such woods could be justified
and added that "the curious spec
tac1e" was presented of proposing
the lowest ad ralorem duty on
clothing for the rich and the high
est on clothing for the poor.
Like Senator Lenroot,, Senator
wadsworth said he had no com
plant to make against the thirty
three cents pound duty on the
fine wools, such, as produced in
quantity in the United States. He
declared the woo1en industry was
one of great Importance to the
country and should be sustained,
but added that very little of the
coarse wool was produced In the
IiUn1teds States. N *:

awaiting their execution and
cremation, and most Of them
are poodles.
A great many persons have
visited John Merrifield, crema-
tory superintendent, in the last
few days to pick out a good
