? , RS COMING UP TODAY.
TO Pu ° JBLICITY BILL , TOO
These Party IVu 'of > Are t. , . be
Rushed Through tru House In Order
to Get Out of the Way of the , Cana
dian Reciprocity Measure.
Washington , April 13. The passage
of a resolution for direct election of
senators with many republican votes
in its favor will bo accomplished In
the house before the end of today's
session.
This fact became apparent before
debate on the resolution had proceed
ed far. Democrats were united In its
favor. While the republicans would
have preferred to amend 1J. so as to
assure control of the elections by con
gress , many of them announced their
purpose to vote for the resolution.
Representative Sims of Tennessee
offered an amendment providing for
the recall of senators when they did
not carry out the wishes of a state
but the determination of democratic
leaders to allow no amendments pre
vented.
Former Speaker Cannon declared lit
could not vote for the Rucker resolu
tion because It robbed congress of Its
control over elections of senators
and , he further believed , of members
of the house.
Chairman Rucker's committee voted
ed yesterday to report the popular
elections bill favorably , as it did also
the bill providing for ante-election
publicity of campaign contributions
Passage of the former bill today wouli
mean that the latter measure also
would be put on its pasa ; ; o.
The house leaders did not anticipate
much opposition to these party meas
ures and no attempt was looked for
from any democrat to impede the rap
id lire program outlined by the ways
and means committee. This commit
tee has approved both bills and is dp-
slrous that they be out of the way ol
the Canadian reciprocity bill , which
will bo called up tomorrow.
When the senate resumed today af'
tor two days' recess there was little
before it. Senator Rayner was ex
pected to address the upper house on
the Mexican situation. After a brlel
session adjournment was looked foi
until Monday.

first time today by Senator Rayner
Ho upheld President Taft and , appar
ently speaking of the stories thai
Japan's seeking a secret treaty wltl
Mexico was the basis for the move
ment , said he thought there would be
no trouble with Japan.
At the conclusion of Mr. Rayner' ;
address Senators Lodg6 and Cullen
took occasion to confirm the Mary
land senator's statement regarding the
improbability of a misundorstandini
between the United States and Mex
Ico.
Ico."I
"I have examined the official corre
spondcnce with care and I have bcei
unable to discover any allusion t <
Japan , " said Mr. Lodge , "and , so fai
as I am able to judge , the press re
ports are mere fabrication. "
Confessing Ignorance as to the mo
live * for the circulation of these re
ports , he expressed the opinion tha
there wore strong Interests back o
them.
Saying that he , too , had examine )

Cullom expressed the opinion , "tha

PURE DRUG LAW
TESTED IN COURT
LEGAL BATTLE OVER DRUGGIST'S
RIGHT TO GUARANTEE
A CURE.
Washington , April 13. The llrst
big legal contest arising out of the
passage of the pure food and drug act
of I'JOC had the right of way today in
the supreme court of the United
States. The government was making
a last effort to sustain its claim to
the right to prosecute criminally per
sons who labelled drugs or medicines
witli false statements about the cura
tive properties of their preparations.
Tlie point arose in the United Sta-tes
district court in western Missouri
where an indictment against Dr. D. u.
Johnson was quashed on the ground
that the act did not apply to false
statements about the curative prop
erties of drugs , but only to false
statements regarding the Ingredients.
Dr. Johnson was charged with having
sold interstate commerce drugs which
ho stated would euro cancer , but
which the government claims "were
entirely Ineffective and worthless ( or
that purpose. "
It is claimed , by Johnson that if the
law is to be Interpreted as forbidding
a statement about the curative prop
erty of drugs the act is unconstitu
tional. Such statements are defended
as mere forecasts concerning a future
event. Denial is made that they
should bo regarded as statements of
facts. Physicians throughout the
country would bo in extreme peril , it
is considered by Johnson's attorneys ,
and would hazard the risk of criminal
prosecution by giving any written
opinion to their patients or any pro
phesy as to what it was intended to
accomplish where it should become a
matter of interstate transportation If
the indictment against Johnson were
allowed to stand.
Solicitor General Lehmann , in a
brief for the government ho has Just
filed with the court , says that a study
of the act shows that congress had in
mind striking at false statements re
garding the . remedial qualities of
drugs. He defends the law as consti
tutional when interpreted to forbid
such statements.
j Ho denies that the law so interpret
ed would reach any physician in tie !
practice of his calling. He declares
that the act does not deal with man-
. tal healing , with cures by faith or
! prayer , or Christian Science , but "with
practices. "

WINE GROWERS ARE
STILL ON RAMPAGE
Epernay , Department of Marne ,
France , April 13. Despite the fact
that the department of Manie is n
vast armed camp with infantrymen
and dragoons blvouaced throughout
the night at almost every village in
the champagne district , rioting broke
out anuw today and the tlamo of an
ger and vengeance continues to s > ueep
the grape-growing region.
At Vinay the rioters hastily threw
up barricades with barrel cases am
debris of all sorts and succeeded h
holding back the advancing troops
wbilo another group of manifestants
armed with torches , entered the vast
champagne depot.
The mob smashed all the bottles of
champagne they could find , wrecked
the wine presses and then set flro to
the buildings.
Women were foremost in the work
of destruction , chanting snatches of
revolutionary airs and urging on the
men. When the troops reached Vinay
the women lay down on the roads and
defied the cavalry to rldo over them.
Eventually the troops succeeded in
getting control of the situation and
dispersed the maulfestants.
At dawn many places in the wine
growing districts showed the horizon
darkened by the smoking ruins of wine
depots , burned during the night. At
the same time exploding detonators
summoned additional wiuo growers to
the different rallying points for the
people to resume their march of de
struction.
The government officials claim that
the sacking and burning of wine prop
erty is being led by criminal ele
ments which are flocking into this
region from other districts.
The police at daylight this morning
proceeded to Ay where a conflagra
tion started by incendiaries threaten
ed for a time last night to destroy the
entire village and made twenty ar
rests ajnong the ringleaders among
the manifestants.
