ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) A meeting of the Douglas
County Prune Growers' association
was held today to fix the wage scale
for hired help to be employed during
the prune harvest. It was decided to
pay employes 13 per day with board,
or $4 per day without board, this
rate applying for all drier employes
except the head dryer, who will re
ceive $1 per day with board, and 15
per day without board.
Drier men will work 12 hours and
all others ten hours. Pickers are to
receive 6 cents a 60-pound box for
Italian prunes, with a 2-cent bonus
if the pickers stay throughout the
Benson. Eight cents will be paid for
pickers handling petite prunes with a
similar 2-cent bonus. Arrangements
were made whereby these wages
might be increased where local con
ditions make the handling of the
crop difficult.
HOUSE PASSES TAX BILL
(Continued From Flrert Page.)
after'the end of the recess on Septem
ber 21. Meantime the senate finance
committee will bold additional public
hearings on the whole tax question
and probably revise the measure in
number of details.
As finally passed by the house with
nearly 100 amendments, the bill is
estimated to produce a total of $3,347,-
000.000 revenue this fiscal year, or
221,000,000 less than the estimate!
under the existing law.
As re-peal of the excesa profits tax
andi higher income surtaxes would not
become effective until January 1,
next, the full force of the bill will
not be reflected in government re
ceipts until the calendar year 1923,
but republican leaders said that the
repeal of the transportation and other
taxes and reduction in the tax bill in
the next calendar year will be approx
imately $512,000 000.
A number of additional amend
ments were approved today by the
ways and means committee.
The first one adopted was that ex
empting "pensions from the United
States for service of the beneficiary
or another in the military or naval
forces of the United States."
Another amendment adopted would
exempt from the administration tax
all receipts at agricultural fairs
. where the profits were not divided
among the shareholders of agricul
tural associations or promoters of
such fairs.
The house also adopted . amend
ments acuminating provision for a i
per cent tax on toilet preparations,
perfumes, soaps and proprietary med
icines and reducing the 10 per cent
tax tn yachts to 5 per cent and ex
empting from this tax motor or other
craft less than S2 feet in length or
with a carrying capacity of less than
five tons.
Before the vote Representative

CHICAGO, Aug. 20. For 3.000,000
years one of the few survivors of the
fossil animals has lived in fastnesses
of what is now South America. Nine
years ago it was diacovered by an ex
ploring expedition of the Field Mu
seum of Natural History. The mu
seum has just published its first sci
entific report on its find.
Speaking of his discovery. Dr. Wil
fred H. Osgood of the -Field museum
named some of its features.
Through all these, ages this animal
has continued reproducing itself
without important change.
It is one of the most notable ex
amples of the "simple life."
All the other animals of its group
have utterly vanished or been turned
to stone hundreds of thousands of
years.
It dates back to the period when
the warm-blooded animals were just
beginning to evolve from the cold
blooded reptiles. It is one of the
oldest living mammals.
It is a "mirror of the past," with a
practical value difficult to estimate.
A little animal, it looks like a
sharp-nosed rat. It is only about six
Inches long. But its size has helped
to preserve it. It has small eyes,
rounded ears, a slender tail and soft
brown hair.
Caesnolestes is Its name modern
representative of an ancient group of
predatory animals.
Dr. Osgood made his discovery in
Venezuela In 1912. He secured his
specimens in tha heart of a dense
forest of the mountains there. Ac
cess to the spot was gained by labori
ously cutting narrow trails for long
distances through the heavy under
growth. ,
Since then Dr. Osgood has made an
intensive study of the animal, and it
Is this which the Field museum has
just published in a book entitled "A
Monographic Study of the American
Marsupial, Caesnolestes."
"This little animal is quite unlike
any other now living in the world,"
Dr. Osgood said. "Although it does
not resemble closely any species now
living, it is very intimately related
to animala whloh flourished far back
in geologic times, when the founda
tions were bein laid for the evolu
tion of the higher animals of the
present day.
All the others of the group to
which it belongs became extinct ages
ago and Caesnolestes alone has sur
vived to the present.
We know this because its bone
and teeth are essentially the same
as those of the extinct animals. If
the bones are the s'ame, it is probable
tnat other parts also are similar
unererore, Caesnolestes is a prize to
the student, for it enables him to
learn more about the ancient fossils
than is shown by their bones, which
of course are the only parts pre
served, v y

Members of the league, including

Madalynne Obenchaln.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20. Predic
tion that a "complete alibi" would be
established for Arthur C. Burch, in
dicted with Irs. Madalynne Oben
chaln for the alleged murder of J.
Belton Kennedy, was made today by
Richard Kittrelle, one of counsel for
the defendants. The attorney did not
go into details, but said he was con
fident Burch would be able to account
for every moment of his time the
night of August S, when Kennedy
was shot to death.
The case against Mrs. Obenchaln,
ha said, would fail because "there
was no evidence to convict her."
Another development today was the
announcement of Obenchain that he
would demand the prosecution pro
duce letters he declared were in the
possession of J. D. Kennedy, father
of the dead man. He did not indi
cate what the letters were except to
say he believed they had an "impor
tant bearing" on the case. At the
district attorney's office. It was said
no information had been received
there of any letters of this kind.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 20. The
conference report on the anti-beer
bill, definitely agreed on today and
presented to the senate, exempts a
man's home from search without war
rant obtained in due course of law,
but requires no warrant to search
other property, provided an officer
acts without malice and has reason
able cause to suspect the presence of
liquor.
Along with the presentation of the
report word reached the senate that
prohibition leaders of the house had
declared there would be no recess of
congress until the measure had been
finally enacted. Senate leaders, on
the other hand, announced that it was
hopeless to expect senate acceptance
in view of the rejection by the con
ferees of the Stanley amendment,
passed unanimously and designed to
protect the home and other property
from Indiscriminate search through
imposition of heavy penalties.
Senator Ashurst, democrat, Ari
zona, who "bolted" the conference
early In the week, and Representative
Dyer, republican, Missouri, . failed to
sign the report. It was approved,
however,' by Senators Sterling and
Nelson, republicans, and Representa
tives Volstead, republican, and Suro-
Viers, Texas, democrat.
The only point at issue in final de
liberations of the managers was ths
searching provision. In reaching a
compromise both the senate and house
amendments on the subject were dis
carded. In their place the conferees
adopted the following section:
"Section 6. That any officer, agent
or employe of the United States en
gaged in the enforcement of this act,
or the national prohibition act, or any
other law of the United States, who
shall search any private dwelling as
defined in the national prohibition
act, and occupied as such a dwelling,
without a warrant directing such
search, and who while so engaged
shall, without a search warrant, man
ciously and without reasonable cause
search any other building or property.
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined
for a first offense not more than
S1000, and for a subsequent offense
not more than $1000 or Imprisonment
not mora than one year, or both such
fine and imprisonment.
"Whoever, not being an officer,
agent or employe of the United States,
shall falsely represent himself to be
such officer, agent or employe, and In
such assumed character shall arrest
or detain any person, or shall in any
manner search the persons, buildings
or other property of any person, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine of not more than
$1000 or Imprisonment for not more
than one year, or by both such fine
and imprisonment.

its passage so that the treasury secre

declared in a minority statement that
this constituted a basis sufficient for
