HOTPOINT COMBINATIONS SUBSTITUTE IS OFFERED Administration Anti-Trust Bill Is Criticised in Senate Hearing. ."Government by Suspicion" Feared by Witness. WASHINGTON, May 9. One provl 8lon of the Administration anti-trust bill threatens to put an indirect tax on the American people of $10,000,000 a year, according to a statement made today before the Senate interstate com merce committee by K. W. Shaw, editor of a business magazine. Mr. Shaw, representing the Chicago Association of Commerce, said that, in his opinion, the provisions requiring annual reports from corporations engaged In Interstate commerce would entail an annual ex pense of this amount, and he was In clined to believe that 'ultimately it would be borne by the consumer. Chairman Newlands, of the commit tee, said reports from corporations were not compulsory, but would be demanded in the discretion of the Com mission. Senator Lippitt, a member, said, however, that he considered Mr. Shaw's estimate far too low. "Government by Suspicion Predicted. In addition to Mr. Shaw, the commit tee heard other representatives of the Chicago association and received a bill drafted by the association as a substl tute for the Senate measure. J. E. Bennet, a New York lawyer, charac terized the bill as one which would lead to "government by suspicion." The committee will hear protests from railroad men on Monday and Tuesday, and may finish Its dellbera tlons late next week. Mr. Shaw ex vlatned his estimate of the cost of making- annual reports by saying that t least 100,000 corporations would be subject to the provision, and that the average expense would be about $100. 'Then," Senator Lippitt said, "you think this provision would cost the people of the country $10,000,000?" - Estimate Declared Too Low. "Yes, that is my opinion," Mr. Shaw aid. "I think it would cost more than that," Senator Lippitt said. Mr. Bennet, who said he represented several small concerns, protested against the power granted the trade commission to examine the books of corporations engaged in Interstate commerce. He said he believed it un constitutional. He asserted the provi sion aimed at the interlocking direc torates would lead fo the use of dummy directors in many corporations, and work a hardship on small concerns. Zn creating a trade commission, he said. Congress was going on the idea that there must be a skeleton In the busi ness closet. "The commission," he said, "will have to make good, and it will find the skeleton." BIRD LAW DEFENDED SICILY IS SHAKEN Known Dead 139, With Great Area Yet Uninspected.

The anti-suffragists adopted the red rose as their symbol and - two shope were opened for the distribution of the flowers, but the suffragists re fused to recognize the significance of the symbol. Many of theb bought red roses and wore them in the parade, while a great bouquet of American Beauties was displayed in the window at the Congressional Union headquar ters, where a placard announced, "We recognize no monopoly in red roses."

Socialists Declared for Suffrage. Another feature was a division of Socialists, who had also adopted the red rose as their emblem and whose banner announced that "one million Socialists in the United States are for woman suffrage." A striking feature of the demonstra tion was the participation of the Na tional Association for Woman Suffrage, which had previously declared against the Mondell-Bristow resolution and in favor of the Shafroth amendment. One of the most distinguished of the march ng groups was that of women writers and actresses. Before the parade a mass meeting was held at a theater, where speakers urged the adoption of the amendment. Mrs. William Kent, wire of Representa tive Kent, of California, presided.

Senator Bristow. of Kansas, was greeted with a demonstration when he arose to speak. He said no real argu ment could be made against suffrage except prejudice. He urged his hearers to work day and night for the resolu tion and also urged the importance of the women's concentrating their ef forts in the states where amendments are pending. "We will get a vote of the House at this session," said Representative Moo- dell, of Wyoming.

Otarges Made That Foes of New Fed eral Statute Seek to Xnlllfy It ty Cutting Down Appropria tion for Enforcement. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash Ington, May 9. The cry Is raised by W. T. Hornaday, of New York, active head of the New York zoo, and natura list of wide renown, that an effort is on foot in Congress so to cripple the mieratory bird act. -passed by congress a vear aero, as to make It wenective. Mr. Hornaday makes tne cnarge mat an underhand attack Is being made in Conaress. through an effort to cut down the appropriation lor tne enrorcemeni of- the law from $50,000, appropriated last year, to $10,000. He points out that the Department of Agriculture, with only $10,000 available, could not enforce such a law thoroughly. He makes the direct charge that the effort to cut down the appropriation is not a move towards economy, but a studied effort to make the migratory bird act a farce. Particularly does Mr. Hornaday as sail Senator Reed, of Missouri, and Eenator Robinson, of Arkansas, botn of whom are advocates of the smaller appropriation, and one of whom, toena tor Reed, has openly advised his con stituents to disregard the law, as suring them that it is unconstitutional. Mr. Hornaday points out that the Su preme Court alone can determine tne constitutionality of an act passed by Congress, and that until the court de ridoa the Question, the opinions of In dividual Senators are worth little and are in no way binding. In defense of the law, Mr. Hornaday cites figures tending to show that the migratory bird law has value. Gov ernment statistics, compiled by the De partment of Agriculture, set the an nual loss to farm products, by reason nf Insect nests, at $420,000,000. The migratory birds, protected by the Fed eral law, are the natural enemies of these insects, and if the birds are pro tected the damage from Insects will be greatly reduced, he contends. Of the total loss due to insects, cereal crops are damaged to the extent of $200,000, 000 a year: the hay losses are $52,000, 000; cotton, $60,000,000; garden crops, $53,000,000 and fruits $27,000,000. A great part of this damage, Mr. Horna day maintains, would be eliminated if the birds could be protected, and al lowed to multiply naturally and carry on their war against insects. wmm KeT)oCTORc gfusr; Zems BaAcr The questions answered below are gen eral In character, the symptoms or dis eases are given and the answers will apply to any case of similar nature. xnose wisning xurtner aavicc, iree, iny address Dr. Lewis Baker, College Bids..
