"This is Just another one of hose nuisance laws," declared Senator Joseph. "We are now in spected to death. If we keep on passing these regulatory measures it will not. be long until the army inspectors will crowd the tour jrpf' off. the highways. The time arrived when we should call a halt.""

If the bill Is passed by the house without . alteration it will go to President Coolldge immediately, but if changed it must go' to con ference and to the senate for final approval and there, it friends fear, a filibuster is certain to develop. After a conference .of. the bill's supporters. Representative Dickin son, republican, of Iowa, declared every .effort to amend the senate bill would be vigorously opposed because it was felt the change of "so little as a comma means no farm relief this session." The first step to carry out this plan will be taken Monday when Chairman Haugen of the agricul ture committee appears before the rules committee to ask for author ity to substitute the senate bill for its companion under discussion in the house. A house vote on such a step is likely and' is ex pected to indicate the strength of the measure. House farm leaders said today they were favorable lo various senate amendments, including the Bledsoe insurance plan designed as a safeguard againstv crop price declines as a supplement to - the equalization fee and to the Inclu sion of tobacco as one of the coin-' modifies on which the' fee would be levied and were willing' to ac cept atl of them. In face of thelf efforts to put through the senate bflj unchanged, opponents of the measure' continued " their - rights in the house against it and announc ed they would put every obstacle in the way of a vote on the bill. It Is expected that both the Curtis Crisp bill rejected yesterday . by the senate and. the proposal spon sored by Representative AsweH, democrat, Louisiana, will he of fered as substitutes. A final vote in the house is not expected before the middle of next week. AUSTRALIA HAS FLOODS Damage in OaeenslanTTow Esti mated at Five Millions SYDNET. N. S.

Instead of being a sharply drawn contest between the. Pek ing and Can tpnese ( nationalist ) governments to rule China's 450,- 000000, there may be another element introduced in the person of Wu Pei-Fji. able general and recently undisputed war lord of central China. The fighting in Honan province, said headquarters here of the northern alliance, was due to sub ordinates of the armies of Chang and Wu misunderstanding the purpose of the movements. , The northerners asserted that i they had disarmed some of Wu's troops wno attempted - to prevent their advance toward the city of Cnen- chow, jiear the eastern frontier of Honan. The forces of the northerners are believed to be those , dis patched from Shantung province by Chang Tsung-Changv. Its gover nor and ally of the Manchurlan dictator, Chang Tso-Lln. Other forces, going southward through ChihTi province, received the sig nificant message Thursday from Wu that they had best halt at Changteh. northern frontier of Hpnah, to prevent possible con fflct due to "misunderstanding' by,opposing troops. v - The strength of Wu's armies; which lie between those of the Peking and nationalist (Can tonese) governments, is not known, but hfs past record Is suf ficient to inspire opponent's re spect.
