In the aix days of grilling to which it haa subjected senators themselves the inveatigating committee haa se cured information and opened channela of investigation that are likely t/‘ have an important influence upon the whole course of legialation in the future. Progress on the tariff bill haa not been hindered by the lobby inveatiga- tion, but it is believed that before the reconatructed Underwood bill finally gvla into the senate for debate the lobby investigation will have become a direct issue in the tight. None of the alleg^l "lobbyists** has been ques tioned as yet, but facta brought out by senators on the witness aland and the course the committee haa determined on for the future make it clear that congreaa will be urged to conaider these iaaues: A registration law requiring every "lobbyist, ** legislative agent or other person who comes to Washington to influence legialation to identify him self and the interests he represents at once.

Revising their policy again, Democratic leaders in the senate have decided to put a coun tervailing duty on imports of livestock and grains, fresh meats, flour and oth er grain products. These agricultural products are to be classed in the free list, in accord ance with the recent decision after a conference with President Wilson, but they will be placet! there with a "string” to them. A countervailing duty means that the United States will charge on imports of cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat, flour and such products, a duty compensatory to any duty that may be charged by another country against America on her ex ports of the same commodities.

"A cream that will test 30 to 35 per cent or produce about three and a half pounds of but ter to ten pounds of cream is good. Other conditions being equal, a rich cream will keep longer and chum more easily than a thin cream. "If the cream is to be kept any length of time before ripening, it should be cooled immediately after skimming to below 60 degrees. Tin containers are preferable to crocks or other material. Tin allows the tem perature to be changed more easily, and is easier to handle and keep clean. If two lots of cream are to be mixed, they should both assume the same temperature before mixing."

C.—In accord with suggestions of Attorney-General Mc Reynolds, Senator Hitchcock, of Ne braska, introduced an anti-trust amendment to the Underwood tariff bill which would levy a special addi tional excise tax on a sliding or grad uated scale on manufactures of cigars, tobacco, cigarettes and snuff. The amendment, coming from a Demo cratic member, will receive thorough consideration from the finance com mittee. The progressive excise tax proposed would not reach a manufacturer until he controlled about 25 per cent of the total production of the articles. Over that amount he would be taxed in a sliding scale on tobacco 1 cent a pound for the 1,090,000 pounds per quarter; 2 cents a pound for the second 1,000,- 000 pounds and so on up to 6 cents a pound. These graduated taxes would be in addition to the regular 8 cents a pound tax that all manufacturers pay on to bacco. The same is true of the pro gressive tax on cigars, cigarettes and snuff. Companies of ordinary size would not be subject to this because it does not apply to a production below 8,- 000,000 pounds of tobacco or 4,000,000 pounds of snuff a year, so that of the 2700 tobacco companies in the coun try, probably only three would be af fected, and of the 73 snuff com panies, only three would be taxed. In the matter of cigarettes the tax would fall only on two or three companies out of 478, and of the 20,000 cigar companies only two have a production large enough to be taxed. Seventy million dollars was the amount of the total excise last year on tobacco products and Senator Hitch cock has estimated that if the pro posed tax had been levied on last year’s business, "the former trust con cerns” would have paid the additional tax as follows: American Tobacco company, $7,500,000; Leggett & Myers, $3,100,000; Lorillard & Co., $144,000; American Snuff company, $77,000; George W. Helm company, $69,000; Weyman & Burton com pany, $51,000. SUFFRAGETTE IS PRISONER SUFFRAGETTES SPOIL RACES Reins of Horses Seized While Going Full Speed. King’s Horse Loses Race—Rider In jured and Suffragette Badly Trampled Outsider Wins. Epeom, England—Wednesday’s race for the derby, the "blue ribbon" of the British turf, was one of the most sensational on record. It was made memorable by a daring militant suffragette outrage in which Emily Wilding Davison was terribly injured while trying to stop King George’s horse, Anmer, when he was running at full speed around Tatten- ham Corner, by the disqualification for bumping of Craganour, the favorite, after he had finished first; and by the award of the race with its stakes of $32,500 to a rank outsider, Aboyeur, a 100-to-l shot. King George. Queen Mary and a large assembly of royalties were wit nesses of these exciting incidents, which caused something like constern ation among the immense crowds. While interest in the classic was at its most tense point, just as the 15 horses were turning the Tattenham corner into the stretch, a woman rushed out of the dense crowd and threw herself in front of Anmer and another horse, Agadir. She apparent ly hoped to interfere with the prog ress of the race by seizing Anmer's reins and placing not only herself but the two jockeys in danger. Fortunately the horses were at the end of the string or the consequences might have been more serious. Aga dir, ridden by Jockey Earl, passed in safety, but the woman managed to cling to Anmer’s rein and brought down both horse and rider. Jones, the king’s jockey, received injuries necessitating his removal in an ambulance, while the woman was thown under Anmer’s hoofs and ter ribly kicked. She was taken uncon scious to a hospital suffering from severe injuries to her bead. Suffra gette papers are said to have been found in her possession, and a suffra gette flag bound round her body. Militant Who Leaped at Horses Re gains Consciousness. GIRL URGES USE OF LABEL Epsom, England — Emily Wilding Davison, the militant suffragette who recently caused a sensation by leaping at the king’s horse and seizing his reins while he was galloping at full speed in the race for the Derby, re covered consciousness at noon Satur day. She took slight nourishment but was unable to reply to questions. Miss Davison is one of the best- known English suffragettes. She is a young woman of high education, an honor graduate of London university and of the final honor school at Ox ford. The police have notified the author ities of the Epsom hospital that Miss Davison must be regarded as a pris oner. The surgeon in charge said that it would be several weeks before she is able to leave the hospital. Anti-Truat Suits Forecast. Washington, D. C.—Neither the Standard Oil nor the tobacco trust has been actually dissolved to meet the re quirements of the Sherman law, ac cording to the views of Attorney-Gen eral McReynolds. When this became known it was taken as a forecast of further action against the oil as well as the tobacco trusts, if the results of the investiga tion just completed by the department of Justice of the workings of the oil dissolution decrees indicate that there is a problem which can still be dealt with under the Sherman law. The at torney-general’s complaint is not against the Sherman law, but against the decrees of dissolution interpreting the decisions of the United States Su preme court. Daughter of Secretary of Labor Speaks on Social Conditions. St. Louis—Miss Agnes Hart Wil son, daughter of the secretary of labor in President Wilson’s cabinet, ad dressed the National Women's Trade Union League convention here and urged that the women purchasers of clothing be educated to demand the union label. "I don’t favor the boycott,” said Miss Wilson, “but I do urge that we start a movement to bring out the gar ment makers* label on women’s cloth ing. The names of all union makers of women’s clothing should be men tioned prominently in the official bul letin of this league. That will adver tise the goods and will advertise us.” Miss Wilson told of her personal in vestigations of social conditions in Washington, D. C., where she found women and children working long hours, under unsanitary conditions and for poor pay. Miss Wilson said that the work un der unsatisfactory conditions to which she referred was in tenement districts and usually was sewing, artificial flow er making or other form of piece work.
