These would reduce the exist ing tariff on gallic acid from eight to six cents per pound and the rate on pyrogallic acid from twelve to ten cents.
 The close of debate saw another accusation of filibustering and at tempting to delay q final vote on the bill.

 Discussion at Session

Washington, Oct. 23 LPl-The flow of debate continued at flood tide in the senate today as the veteran George Norris took up the assault of the republican independent demo- cratic coalition against the rate schedules in the tariff bill.

 Canadian Power Used
 His statement was made as the senate engaged in a general round of discussion and after it had dcvel- oped that certain domestic carbide companies had gone to Canada to obtain cheaper power, a big cost factor in the production of the chemical which is used primarily in the manufacture of acetylcne gas.
 The present import rate on cal cium carbide is one cent a pound, and while the finance committee majority first recommended q re- duCtiOn to Onc-half q cent, it was proposed now to keep it at one cent.
 Protesting against a reduction, Senator Golf, republican, West Nir- gInia, said if the tariff was sufficient ly high, those companies which have opened plants in Canada would be forced 10 come back to the United States and employ American labor.
 Says Cost Here High
 He pointed out there were several carbide plants in this country located in Michigan, New York, Iowa, Min ncsota, West Virginia, Virginia and Alabama and said it cost about $25 a ton more to produce the chemical here than in Europe.
 Senator Nandcnbcrg, republican Michigan, contending for an "adc- quato tariff" said the carbide plant at Sault Ste Marie, Mich, pair near ly half of the city's taxes and q large portion of the city'S popula- tion depended on the plants success

SAN FRANCISCO. July 15.-An

was evident today, by sending three
prominent Chinese back home with
out prosecution on charges Of snug
Cling opium.
Ying Koa, vice counsul here, his
wife. and Suen Foon, chancellor of
the local consulate, we're arrested on
federal warrants after customs
officials found more than 100000
worth of opium and other contra
band in Mrs. Wing Koa's baggage.
On the eve of the grand jury in
dictments expected Tuesday, DR.. G.
G. WI, Chinese ambassador at
Washington, telegraphed w. G. An
ching Kung, consul-general here,
and ordered the recall to China of
Yin Kao and Suen Foon.
In this act was seen agreement
with United States authorities as the
arrests we're under the Jones-Miller
act, with deportation as the probable
penalty.
Recall, it is pointed out, will &C
complish the same end without haz-
ard Of starting a fight between con-
flicting Tongs in San Francisco's
great Chinese section, and without
embarrassment to the Chinese or
United States governments.
With the opium in Mrs. Wing

LARGE POULTRY.
EXHIBIT PLAN
About 1900 Birds VIII Be
Displayed At Valley
Fair

uArrTNGEN- Nov. THE poul-
try industry Of the Valley has
reached such proportions. and the
Valley fair such magnitude. that
the time has come to expand rap
idly and make the poultry show
of the Valley Winter fair one
of the biggest in the south, in the
opinion Of j. w. kirkpatrick Of
Edinburg, chairman Of the poultry
department.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is county home
demonstration agent Of Hidalgo
county.
In the past we have not en-
couraged outside exhibitors in plac-
ing birds at the Valley Fair" Mr..
Kirkpatrick said. I'VE have wait
ed until Accommodations could be
sufficient to handle them, and until
the Fair reached proportions to
justify them.
IN view Of the rapid growth
OF the Valley Fair during the past
year, we feel that the fair this
year. November 26 TO December J.,
will justify this expansion.
"The fair management has as
sured us sufficient room and help
to take care G. the birds, and we
are throwing the gates open. I
was at the state Fair at Dallas
recently, and have been assured
that many birds exhibited there
will be shown in the Valley"
Mr.. Kirkpatrick said that a
total OF from loo to $50 birds
will probably be placed on display
this year. making the Valley Fair
poultry show one Of the largest in
the state.
