LABOR NOT EXEMPT
:FB0M FEDERAL-LAW
Organizations Lose Fight to
Secure Amendment to
Sundry Civil Bill.
VOTE IN HOUSE IS CLOSE
Prosecution TJnder Anti-Trust Act
Not Limited Tawney, Opposing
Provision, Declares It Is
Political Buncombe.
"WASHINGTON. June 24. Labor organ
izations have lost their fight to gain ex
emption from prosecution under the anti
trust and Interestate commerce laws.
Following a lively debate, and .by a vote
of 138 to 130, the House yesterday agreed
to the Senate action striking out a provi
sion in the sundry civil bill that would
have affected this Immunity.'
When the sundry civil bill was before
the House, . that body . tacked On- an
amendment by Representative Hughes,
of New Jersey, a Democrat, providing
that no part of the appropriation pro
viding for the prosecution of the anti
trust laws should be spent for the prose
cution of any corporation or individual
or entering into combination or agree
ment having in view the increasing of
wages or shortening of hours or better
ing the condition of labor or for any act
taken In furtherance of anything not in
Itself unlawful. The Senate struck out
. the amendment. The House then in
structed its conferees to stand by the
provision and the Senate conferees re
senting such. Instructions refused to con
eider the bill.
Mr. Tawney of Minnesota., one of the
conferees, yesterday moved that the
House recede from Its position and con
cur in the Senate's position. The mo
tion stirred up a hornet's nest.
On the final vote, which gave a knock
out blow to the Hughes amendment and
;Jeft the way clear to easier agreement on
the sundry civil bill, the following Re
publicans voted with the Democrats for
the amendment: Austin, (Term,); Cary,
Cooper, Lenroot, Kelson and Stafford of
Wisconsin; Davis of Minnesota; Gre Fish
of New York; Green of Massachusetts;
Focht and Reynolds of Pennsylvania;
Hubbard, Kendall and Woods of Iowa;
Hayes of California; Kronmiller of Mary
land; Lundin, Rodenberg and Wilson of
Illinois; Mn r dock of Kansas and Poin
dexter of Washington.
The Democrats who voted with the
Republicans were: Bartlett of Nevada,
Shirley of Kentucky and Page of
North Carolina. -
Sixteen present did not vote and sev
eral were paired.
In the course of the debate, Mr.
Tawney said he hoped the House would
recede and concur with the Senate as
to this amendment, asserting that the
amendment was offered for political
buncombe. He protested against Con
gress tying the hands of the Govern
ment in the enforcement of criminal
law, and said "that the amendment
"worked out a class discrimination and
encouraged a policy that would some
day shake the foundation of this Gov
ernment." Mr. Hughes denied that his purpose
was political. He said that the charge
of dmagoguery was easily made and
that in the ordinary acceptance of the
term a demagogue was a man who
tried to do after election that which
he promised to do before election.
Mr. Madison, of Kansas, denounced
the Hughes amendment as an attempt
to write into the law a legalization of
the secondary boycott.
The information that the House had
defeated th Hughes amendment was
received "with indignation" by the ex
ecutive council of the American Federa
tion of Labor, now in session, according
to the council's own report of its meet
ing today.
"It Is regarded," says the report, "as
a betrayal of the rights and interests of
the workers of the country."

partner, Tom O'Day, would secure it.

WITNESSES ARE COACHED
"School of Instruction" Is Held In
Sangamon County.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 24 Dis
closures of a sensational character were
made yesterday before the . Sangamon
grand Jury of the existence of a sort
of "school ot Instruction" for witnesses-
who .have been summonded by State's
Attorney Burke.
The activity of certain accused leg
islators who have been watching for
the issuance of subpenas and the ar
rival of witnesses' caused a quiet in
vestigation. It appears that witnesses
were coached on what to say before
the grand jury.
So positive is the evidence of such a
plan to thwart justice that it resulted
tonight in several indictments. At
least half a dozen will be named in
true bills, which will cover offenses
of conspiracy to commit a felony, per
jury and Interfering with the public
administration of justice.
E. T. Gann, editor of the Sentinel
Leader, published at Warren, was
called before the grand Jury because
of a statement in his paper that Mayor
W. T. Rawleigh, of Freeport, a patent
medicine manufacturer, had told- him
that during the session of the 49th
general assembly a member of the Leg
islature had asked him for a contribu
tion of $1000 to secure the passage of
a bill to repeal the law imposing a
license on itinerant venders of patent
medicines.
Editor Gann testified that Rawleigh,
who is a candidate for the Republican
legislative nomination in his district,
said that White had been paid money
to vote for Lorimer.
YOUNG MAN IN TROUBLE
DANIEL H. BOOTH ARRESTED
FOR PASSING BAD CHECKS. .
G. I. Thompson, of Perkins Hotel,
Is Complainant, and Victims
Are Said to Be Many.
Daniel Harvey Booth. 28 years old,
brother of H. T. Booth, an insurance
agent with offices in the Corbett build
ing, was. arrested by Detectives Car
penter and Price last night on a war
rant preferred by G. I. Thompson, of
the Perkins Hotel, charging him with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Booth is held at police headquarters
ln default of the necessary bail.
Thompson declares that Booth last
Sunday urged that he cash a check for
$10. Thompson consented and accepted
a worthless check drawn on a local
bank. When the check was returned
as invalid, an effort was made by the
hotel management to adjust the mat
ter without publicity, but failed.
Since his arrest the detectives say
they have traced the authorship of a
dozen bogus' checks to Booth. In sev
eral Instances he Is said to have vic
timized his personal friends and bene
factors. The Eaton Hotel, where
Booth and his young wife have resided
for several weeks, is also included In
the list of victims.
Booth's wife appeared at police head
quarters twice last night and consulted
with her husband. ' She made a futile
effort to secure .his release on ball.
Booth will be arraigned for a hearing
in Municipal Court this morning.

SLAYER HIDDEN HERE?
OFFICIALS
THINK WIXLOCK
MURDERER IS IX PORTLAND.
Tacoma Citizens See Sullivan Leave
on Southbound Train Blood
hounds at Work.
TACOMA, Wash., June 24. That John
Sullivan, the alleged murderer of A. W.
Black, who was killed by his pal in the
woods near Winlock Wednesday morning,
was seen by several persons boarding a
southbound train at that point shortly
before noon yesterday. Is the informa
tion brought to Tacoma by Deputy Sheriff
Draper, whose bloodhounds traced Sulli
van from the scene of the crime to the
railway track. He is believed to be hidr
den either at Portland or Raymond.
Clothing left on the spot of the crime
by Sullivan gave the hounds the scent,
which they followed without difficulty.
The trail led through a farm-yard to a
clearing, where the fugitive had ap
parently remained several hours and
thence worked gradually to the Tacoma-
Portland right of way.
CHEHALIS, June 24. (Special) Search
for John Sullivan, who murdered his pal
has so far been unavailing. Bloodhounds
from Tacoma were brought down and put
on the trail this morning. They trailed
Sullivan about three miles into the -woods,
and back to the railroad track. ' He
crossed the track a few times and then
the trail led straight to the depot at
Winlock where It was lost.'
-'At the inquest conducted by Coroner
SUcklln, the verdict was in effect that
Black, came to his death by being
stabbed by John Sullivan, but no motive
for assault was assigned. It is thought
Sullivan escaped by boarotng a slow
moving train on the main line, the con
structlon work in the vicinity making
such a move possible.

Men Have Victory.
SPOKANE, Wash., June 24. (Spe-
Regular Republicans, the term being
used to distinguish them from the fol
lowers of Miles Poindexter, Insurgent
Congressman from Spokane, and from
the ardent advocates of Plnchot policies,
won the Spokane County primaries
Thursday by 3 to 1 according to a claim
made by Chairman D. T. Ham, of the
County Central Committee.
He Is an ardent regular. Unless the
country precincts, which lean more to
ward insurgency, upset the city results.
Mr. Ham's prediction of victory will be
borne out.
The primaries are to select delegates
to send to the county convention, at
which delegates to the state convention
to nominate Supreme Court Judges will
be elected. The Spokane County con
ventlon will be held Saturday, in four
or five precincts in Spokane the lnsur
gents won hands down, but in the ma
jority of cases the party machinery was
too strong. So little Interest was taken
In the country that the majority of Re
publicans failed to vote and did not
know where the polls were located.
The regulars say there is no test of
strength between John L. Wilson and
Judge Burke, Senatorial aspirants, but
that the result merely indicates there
win De little sympathy shown for men
who call themselves Republicans and
then desert from the path blazed by the
regulars.

TIPS FIGURE IN ALIMONY
Cafe Walter's Wife Says His "Side
3Ioney" Is $70 a Week.
NEW YORK, June 20. What promises
to be a celebrated problem -in mathemat
ics has been dropped by the Supreme
Court as too speculative for a judge to
use as the basis for his decision. Briefly
stated the problem the court "passed up"
was this:
"Does 'the waiter in a Manhattan cafe
average-5 cents per drink in tips 1"
The point was raised by Julia Schoen
feld, wife of Harry Sohoenfeld, who car
ries the cooling beverages in a cafe along
the Great White Way. Mrs. Schoenfeld
also figured that her husband serves at
least 1400 drlngs a. week. Hence his in
come. In addition to his salary, she
argues, is $70 a week.
Mrs. Schoenfeld is suing her husband
for a legal separation, alleging Inade
quate support for herself and two young
children. She was granted alimony of
$7 weekly some time ago, but yesterday
demanded an Increase and submitted a
financial statement of her husband's al
leged earnings. The court refused the
Increase.-
Justice Erlanger explained that Mr.
Schoenfeld declares his regular income Is
only $15 weekly. "Tips," says he, "do
not exceed $7 a week. His weekly pay
is augmented by $5 a week from a liquor
agent and remuneration as a ticket seller
at the American League Park.
"The defendant." Justice Erlanger
states, "challenges the figures of his
wife, and asserts that in the reckoning
no attention was paid to the important
circumstance that a party could order
10 or more drinks and the yield of tips
for the labor performed might only be 5
cents, and then proceeds to state that
the plaintiff's method of computation Is
ridiculous on its face."

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., June Tt.. The

the remains of Joseph Moyland from
Park Protestant Cemetery, in this -city,

strange story of the search of a father
for a runaway boy, who disappeared

two years ago.
Joseph Polakof, a jobber of Seventieth
street. New York, had sought In vain for
his son, when- he learned that a youth
named Joseph Moyland had died in the
Bridgeport Hospital, .being sent there by
the Barnum & Bailey circus employes
last December, when he was stricken
with pneumonia.

that he would run off with the circus
and the father grasped upon this as a
tangible clue. He came here last week
and began an Investigation that resulted
In the discovery among the effects of the
dead man of a letter which proved him
to be his son.

many know the old alphabet numerically? As an example,

"W" is the 23d, etc. Youngsters know the alphabet nu
merically better than the "old folks." This contest en

If You Have Scalp or Hair
Trouble, Take Advantage

"We could not afford to so strongly
endorse Rexall 93" Hair Tonic and
continue to sell it as we do, if we were
not certain that It would do all we
claim It will. Should our enthusiasm
carry us away, and Rexall "93" II air
Tonic not give entire satisfaction to the
users, they would lose faith in us and
our statements, and in consequence our
business prestige would suffer.
Therefore, when we assure you that
if your hair is beginning to unnatural
ly, fall out or if you have any scalp
trouble, Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
promptly eradicate dandruff, stimulate
hair growth and prevent premature
baldness, you may rest assured that we
know what we are talking about.
Out of one hundred test cases
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic gave entire
satisfaction in ninety-three cases. It
has been proved that it will grow hair
even on bald heads, when, of course, the
baldness had not existed for so long a
time that the follicles, which are the
roots of the hair, had not become abso
lutely lifeless.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic Is vastly dif
ferent from other similar preparations.
We believe that It will do more than
any other human agency toward restor
ing hair growth and hair health. It is
not greasy and will not gum the scalp
or hair or cause 'permanent stain. It is
as pleasant to use as pure cold water.
Our faith in Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is so strong that we ask you to try it
on our positive guarantee that your
money will be cheerfully refunded
without question or quibble if it does
not do as we claim. Certainly we can
offer no stronger argument. It comes
in two sizes, prices 60 cents and $1.00.
Remember you can obtain it only at
The Rexall Store. -The Owl Drug Co.,
Inc., Cor. 7th and Washington Sts.
