The measure probably will be presented to the house Monday with request for action Tuesday. Kraencency Bill i Irafted The bill was designated as the Fordney emergency tariff. As drawn, it would be effective for one year from passage. The measure was agreed to after six hours discussion by the committee which elected to hon or Its chairman by giving the bill his name. Mr.' Fordney will pre pare and introduce the formal draft. The committee broadened the original project of senate and house leaders in Joint conference. The bill was said to have been planned as a comprehensive meas ure to shield agriculturists from further price decline. Represen tative Young, republican.

Mr. Fordney announced Proposals to Include sugar, hogs, frozen beef, vegetable toeeds. barley, flax, butter and potato flour and potato starch la the list were voted down. For the most part. . according to members, the committee vot ing showed five opponents to the protectionist measure and never less than three. Representative Rainey. democrat.

Demands for inclusion of many manufactured products were made by several committee members, but leaders said these probably would vote for the bilL . tcrsrecn 'fragrance. Fither Por-i ter's patent.

He was serving a long sentence at the Ohio -pen." "Would It not be kind to trill forth a gladsome melody to Miles? Porter's low, (whisper ing voice let an air of mystery to his lightest comment. I. al ways felt like a conspirator when his hushed tones kept us captive. "Miles, you know, has a whole some appreciation of the golden note!" Porter often spoke to me of these later prison days of his ser- 4nading in Austin. He said that $e belonged to a troupe of sing ers. "We went about playing and trrenading at the windows of all h the fV maids in Austin! playing, singing, writing a son get, sketching a cartoon what lovable ne'er-do-well he would Lave been If this very breeiy ncg Ijsence had not caught him In a r-t of unfortunate circumstances t the bank. national suita. la five we-ks the aftsembly has accomplished more but:aes than any parliament of any one of the nations represented l.i the rame space of time. 1 "The league has beeome more truly a world organization by the aloitaioa of former enemy and neutral Mates.

So Porter came over one day, looking very important and com placent. One short, fat hand was stuck in his vest and in the other ne carried a glove. Porter was an unmitigated dandy, even in the prison. He liked rich, well fitting clothes. He abhorred noisy styles or colors. I never saw him when he was not well groomed and neat in his appear ance. "Adonis Raidler," Porter cere moniously laid the glove on tho desk and drew forth a bulky. odorous package, "behold the peerless hair regenerator com pounded after tireless, scientific research by one unredeemed Bill Porter." Raidler grabbed the bottle and pulled off the cork. The heavy pungence of wintergreen filled the office. . "The scent is In harmony with your CAthetic soul. JHlly," he said. "Klusive fragrance might not reach that olfactory nerve of yours. Rilly doused some of the liquid on his bead and began to rub it viciously in.
