Food Administration Sends
i Measure to Congress.
WORLD GRAIN SURPLUS BIG
Estimates Show U. S. "Win Have
Much Wheat Left Over After
Supplying European Needs.
TA SRTNOTON, Jart 28. An Admin
istration bill appropriating $1,250,000
000 to enable the Government to carry
oJt its guarantee to the farmer of
a price of 32.20 a bushel for the 1919
wheat crop was transmitted to the
chairmen of the Senate and House
agricultural committees today by the
food administration.
The measure, which was drawn by
officials of the Food Administration
"and the Department of Agriculture,
was described by some Senators as an
omnibus measure which would permit
the President to continue the Food
Administration in operation and to ex
ercise all of the powers conferred upon
him by the food control act.
Gorr Deems Bill Too Broad.
Senator Gore, chairman of the Sen
ate committee, announced that he
would not introduce the measure in
the Senate.
"It is broader than I think is neces
sary," he declared. "I may take it as
a basis for another bill which I may in
troduce." Under the bill as drawn. Government
authority to control grain dealers, mill
ers and elevators "by license or other
like powers'" would be given, and the
President would be authorized "to cre
ate any agency or agencies" to buy the
1918 and 1919 wheat crops, "wheat
products and other foodstuffs and
feeds" at the guaranteed prices, regu
late export and import of wheat; re-
oulre preferential railroad service as
long as the railroads are under Gov
ernment control: control grain ex
changes and prohibit trading upon
them "at such time or times as may
be deemed desirable or proper to meet
market conditions and competitive
prices of foreign grown wheat," and
"to prescribe such rules and regula
tions as may be neecssary to protect
the Government of the United States
from paying the guaranteed prices
aforesaid for any wheat other than
that covered by proclamations."
President's Powers Great.
In addition, the President, through
the agency he would designate, could
also sell either domestically or by ex
port, wheat, wheat products or by-pro
ducts at a profit or loss, as "in the
judgment of such agency may be nec
essary." He also could lease, buy or
requisition storage space and pre
scribe the terms to be paid for it.
In transmitting the measure to the
committee chairmen, William A. Glas
gow, Jr., chief counsel for the Food
Adminir.tration, wrote that the legis
lation was requested in order to main
tain the guaranties in their integrity
to the farmer and to save the Treasury
of the United States from loss, if that
be possible.
Thus far there has been no estimate
as to what the cost to the Government
of maintaining the 1919 prices would
be. Officials have said that it depended
largely upon European needs, the
amount of stocks in Argentina, Aus
tralia and Canada, and whether or not
Russia would have available supplies
for export.
Surplus of Wheat Hose.
The Department of Agriculture has
estimated that the total import wheat
requirements for Europe, inoluding
Germany and Austria, would likely ex
ceed 728,000,000 bushels this year. The
surplus stock from Canada, Argentina
and Australia was estimated at 495,-
000,000 bushels. From the 1918 crop the
United States probably will have a sur
plus of 277,000,000 bushels for export
and carry-over.
"If the total surpluses of other coun
tries' are exhausted and Hussia is not
relied upon for anything this year,"
said the statement, "the United States
will be called upon to export 233.000,-
000 bushels and would have a carry
over into next year of 44,000,000 bush
els. This carry-over, however, Is likely
to be reduced by increased consumption
In the United States and Europe fol
lowing: several years of short rations.
The 1919 wheat crop in the United
States is expected to give an exportable
surplus of 350.000.000 to 400.000,000
bushels. In both 1919 and 1920 the
question of price and the ability of Eu
ropean countries to finance purchases
are the decisive factors."
The department also has estimated
that European needs for other grains
will be so great that the United States
will be able to supply only tho required
amount of oats, falling short on rye,
1 -irley and corn.
WASHINGTON". Tan. 28. Prohibition
of immigration for four years after the
war except from Cuba, Mexico, Can
ada and New Foundland, was agreed
upon unanimously today by the House
Immigration Committee.
Chairman Burnett announced that he
would ask for a special rule to permit
early consideration of the measure by
the House.
'If the bill is not passed by the pres
ent Congress, its purpose will be par
tially defeated" Mr. Burnett said. "It
is intended to prevent a great flood of
immigrants coming here as soon as
peace is signed and driving our own
people out of work and also to keep
out the Bolsheviki. Delay in passing
the bill will be harmful to the business
interests."
Considerable discussion arose in the
committee in regard to whether the
bill should be effective for two or four
years, but the longer period was de
cided upon by a vote of 7 tb 2. A num
ber of amendments r.ccepted permit
the admission of relatives of aliens
already in this country and of persons
skilled in certain occupations and pro
fessions.
It is understood the committee is
divided 7 to 2 for the legislation, with
six members absent. Prohibition of
immigration during the peace recon
struction period has been strongly
urged by representatives of organized
labor and others at hearings before the
committee.
The bill would permit an alien resi
dent to bring his wife and children
(except boys over 18 years old) into the
United States; orphan nephews under
IS and nieces of any age also may be
brought into the country. Tourists
would not be barred from entry for
temporary stay.
The decision on the four-year period
was made on the question whether the
committee should adopt that provision
or one providing for only two years'
prohibition.

TAILORS FORESEE NEW ERA
Picturesque Sports Attire for Men
Predicted.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Jan. 28. Del
egates to the convention of the Na
tional Association of Merchant Tailors,
which opened here today, foresee a
new era for picturesque sports attire
for men. Garish designs and hues will
be the rule, the delegates announce,
and they ascribe the prospective situa
tion to the at-soclatlon of people oi
divers nationalities during the war.
The woolen goods industry almost
approached a condition of demoraliza
tion at one time during the war. it was
declared, because of a state of hysteria
due to busybodies who intruded on the
province of the tailors and advocated
the wearing of 'Uomespun sackcloth
and ashes."
ably reported today by the House post
office committee by a vote of 10 to 8.
Chairmon Moon announced that he
would present the measure in tha
House tomorrow and ask for a rule
to give it right of way.
The resolution made no mention of
cable properties and that phase of the
situation was not discussed at the
meeting of the committee. Members
later expressed various opinions as to
the effect of the legislation on Federal
control of those properties which was
assumed by Presidential proclamation
last November under the authority
given in me original wire control res
olution passed by Congress last July 6.
Cables Not Included.
Chairman Moon said the new legis
lation woi'.ld not affect the original
law insofar a's it applied to cable prop
erties, control or which would have to
be relinquished with the issuing of the
peace proclamation by the President
Other members expressed a definite
view, based upon the fact that the cable
properties were controlled by the tele
graph companies. They thought con
trol of the cables would be automatic
ally extended. There were still other
committee men who believe the oues
tion would have to be settled in the
courts.
Various dates for termination of con
trol of the telephone and telegraph
companies were suggested after the
committee had concluded its hearings
on the original Administration meas
ure by examining Postmaster-General
Burleson. The first proposal was for
a restoration of the properties to pri
vate management next May 30, but
this and another to extend the time
to December 31, 1920, were voted down.
As introduced by Chairman Moon the
resolution authorized the postmaster
general to execute contracts for the
purchase of telephone companies and
have an appraisement made of the tele
phone companies, but these provisions
were stricken out by the committee.
Ownership 'ot Contesnplnted.
Mr. Burleson and other proponents
of the legislation Insisted that the pur
pose was to extend the period of con
trol and not to bring about Govern-

and Porter Brothers will furnish the
capital for the excavation work.
The farm which has a low boggy
place, has been the source of several
mastodon skeletons unearthed In past
years. There are several more ekele
tons bogged in the place, it is believed,
and the one the Spokane Museum hopes
to recover complete will stand 14 feet
high, with tusks extending about 10
feet from the jaws. This will equal
in size the largest mastodon ever un
earthed, which was found on this same
farm in 1878 and now is on exhibition
at the Academy of Science in Chicago.

28. (Special.) Seventy-five per cent
of the proposed 110.000.000 road bill
must be used for construction, pave

roads designated, and the remaining 25
per cent is to be used at the discre
