inittees took another grip today on the
Administration's anti-trust legislative
programme and made some progress on

the trade commission bill.
While the Interstate trade commis

the Senate, vigorously criticised by
. . n- i. nt -i i i fnrn i.i the Inter-
state commerce committee had it "aer
advisement and practicany -
amend the section which would make
unlawful "unfair competition. Much
criticism, even within the party, has
been made to the vagueness of this
section, the contention being advanced
that it is too general in its terms, and
that it would result in endless court
action for Interpretation.
Power Glvea to Commission.
The amendment proposed and. ac
cording to Senator Newlands. chair
man, practically agreed on In com
mittee, would authorize the proposed
trade commission to determine what
constitutes unfair competition, and to
order it stopped when determined. In
each case there would be a full court
review as to the facta and the law.
While the committee made some
progresss on the bill which would give
the Interstate Commerce Commission
power to regulate the issuance of se
curities by common carriers, the ques
tion whether the Commission should be
empowered to determine to what use
funds realized by carriers from issues
of securities had been used still Is
undetermined.
Report Will Be Delayed.
It will be several days before the
bill can be reported to the Senate.
The Judiciary committee, in its con
sideration of the Clayton bill, decided
tliat the section of the measure relat
ing to holding companies, which had
been tempered by the committee sev
eral days ago, should be made stronger,
but It has not been able as yet to
amend the section to Its satisfaction.

for Tolunteers to build a new stretch
of road to connect the short strip cut
off from the main road at Ocean Lake.

and fenced off the road running along
the right of way. This stopped all
vehicle traffic on the upper beach and

Mexico to carry at least some of the
party to Jamaica.
fienora Huerta and Senora Blanquet
were aboard the Bristol and did rot see
their husbands.
Huerta ta Werklaa- Mood.
Huerta appeared tired and bored, and
was In no cheerful mood. His chief of
staff plied before him and Blanquet
a great stack of telegrams, and they
IE MISSION
plunged into work, with their secre
taries at their side.
Huerta was in one of his working
moods, and with coat again off, settled
down to his task much as if he were
back at his desk in the palace or at
home.
He had greeted his sons earlier in
the evening, but not in any demon
strative fashion.
All arrangements were made early
In the day for the reception of Huerta
and Blanquet, and the stage was so
set that they could enter the city and
board the Deaden or Bristol and put
out to sea so quickly as to rob their
flight of all dramatic elements. Tracks
were laid so that the special .train
could pull along the wharf close to the
water, and the ex-president aI ex
minister of war would thus be enabled
to reach a launch in less than a dozen
steps.
Plans Sot Indicated.
None of the messages sent to Huerta's
wife or to General Camerena command
ing the special guard here indicated
Huerta's plans. Not even the captains
of the German and British vessels had
definite instructions. They were to
leave the decision to Huerta himself.
It is generally believed, however, that
Huerta and Blanquet will go aboard
the Dresden, and the other refugees, in-
eluding Senora Huerta and Senora Blan
quet. aboard the Bristol, and that Dom
cruisers will proceed for Jamaica .or
Havana.
It was a. day of sharp anxiety for the
older members of the party, especially
the wives of the two men who wersj
nassslnsr throusrh a country where
considerable number of revolutionists
are known to be operating. They couia
not rid themselves of the fear that tne
revolutionists would In some way seek
revenge on their husbands. Both were
downcast and unresponsive to tne ei
forts of the children and others to
arouse their spirits.

KNOWLES IS EAGER
FOR LIFE IN WILDS
Battle Facing 'New Mowgli' in
Strange Forests Real Test
of Nature Man's Career.
OREGON PLANTS UNKNOWN
Possessed With All Subtle Instincts
of Indian, Intrepid Man "With.
Mission" Will Find Food Prob
lem Is Most Serious.
GRANTS PASS. Or., July 17. (Spe
cial.) Joseph Knowles, another Mow
gli, Is ready to lose himself In the
wilds of Southern Oregon and begin his
month-long struggle with nature, no
Is eager to commence hi battle with a
strange wilderness under newer and
harder conditions than he ever faced
before.
His resources will be his knowledge
of woodcraft and such primitive weap
ons as he can fashion with his
bare hands. He must find subsistence
and clothe himself during his exile,
which will last one month. If, for any
reason, the test is Inconclusive at the
end of that time he declares -himself
willing to prolong the experiment.
Start Alone Occurs Monday.
He will plunge Into the forest next
Monday, alone. Professor Waterman,
of the University of California faculty,
will see that he complies with all the
rigorous conditions agreed upon.
Joseph Knowles faces a much hard
er task in his attempt to live without
weapon, fire, food or clothing than he
did a year ago, when he spent two
months in the Maine woods. The West
ern wilds are new to him. He does not
know their trees and edible plants, save
those that also are common on the
Atlantic shore.
w -maa hnrn in the Maine woods and
never had shoes on his feet until he
was 14 years old. His mother taught
him all the lore of the Indians. He Is
an expert at rude basketry and knows
h-ar tn u so th sinew of the deer for
thread with which to sew skins together
for clothing. The use of plant iiDres 10
make snares and traps lor animais 10
known to him. He can make mocca
inq n1 start a. fire by means of sticks
rnhhed together. He prides himself
that he can make a wigwam of bark
better than any Indian.
Strange Plants Are Problems.
If he falls to find proper plant mate
rials in the woods, he will face a more
serious handicap than a failure to find
game. For he must set snares for ani
mals, as it is idle to expect a man to
outrun a deer. He must outwit the
animals if ha is to keep his promise to
clothe himself and keep well fed. Strong
fibres are needed, but he already has
found an old friend in the cedar, from
whose bark he can strip long ribbons,
light and strong, that will serve many
purposes.
The nature man expects to send out
messages to the newspapers from his
wilderness. He said he would write
them on birch-bark with a sharp stick
and leave them where they would be
found by those keening watch of his
movements. But he will not find the
birch tree in these woods and must get
a -substitute. Perhaps he can scraicu
letters on the big fungus which grows
on decaying tree trunks, or else hejnay
find a bark that will prove as useful
for the purpose as the parchment-like
wrapping of the spruce of the Maine
woods.
Mas Imbued With ".HlMlol. "
Knowles has the idea firmly fixed
in his mind that he is a man with a
mission. He hopes to impress upou
people everywhere that they are miss
ing an Important eaucanun in u6ivl
ing nature. He says he believes his
work will lead people, choked by city
smoke, back to a saner life.
He hoDes to restore to tne worm mo
things which people have forgotten as
they have advanced from the days of
savagery. He lias touna inai i no
m tn tanch is not found in books.
although, from his point of view, it is of
greater value than most oouna voiunico
contain. .
Knowles makes the assertion mat
he knows the woods better than any
living man in the civilized world. He
says Instinct guiuea aim annum. i
truly as it does tne animais, wmtu uj
styles our lesser brothers. Nor does
he kill for the fun of killing. Only
for necessary feod and skins will he
kill while in the Oregon woods during
the coming month.
Birds and Beasts Hla Friends.
Wild animals, he Bays, are his friends.
He hopes to tame a few while in the
mountains and bring them out with him
when his self-imposed exile from civ
ilization is over. He boasts , that he
can sit down under a tree and in an
hour birds will come to him, so that
he can touch them and they will not
fly away in fear.
So Knowles expects to unfold the
simple story of nature for a people
who have forgotten. The region he
will enter next Monday Is as virgin a
wilderness as when the first white man
came to the Pacific Coast. He looks
forward to the start with impatience
and declares he will win.
"I will show that I am as good as
the man of the stone age," he declares.
"And nature has spread the same
table."

From Publishing Prices.
