DEFEAT FOR TINKHAM
' WUTH HOUSE IN UPROAR
Massachusetts Representative Makes
Demand for Immediate Con
sideration of Resolution
Affecting Rights of Negro
Voters in South
Washington, May 7.?Rising to a
question of the highest constitution
al privilege, Representative Tink
ham, Republican, Massachusetts
threw the house into an uproar to
day over a demand for immediate
consideration of a resolution affect
ing the rights of negro voters in the
South.
K #
The battle mainly along pariia
mentary lines, raged for two hours,
but in the end the proposal was re
jected on a point of order by Repre
sentative Mondell, Republican lead
er. Still determined to press the
fight, Mr. Tinkham appealed from
Speaker "Gillette's decision sustain
ing ihe point of order but the house
stood by 285 to 46. The Tinkham
resolution,- substantially the same as
that presented during consideration
of the reapportionment bill at the
last session, had been expected and
Democrats were ready, to jump into
the fray. The , Republican leader
went to the front,however, and won
the day alone.
I
As framed by the Massachusetts
member the resolution would have
directed the census committee to
proceed forthwith to make diligent!
inquiry respecting the extent oft
which the right to vote is denied or [
abridged to citizens of the United j
States, prior to preparation of a bill'
ior reapportionment 01 tne no use. j
In the course of a long argument
Mr. Tinkham declared the resolu
tion was in order ahead of all busi
ness, that the measure offered be
fore was never reported out by com
mittee, and that if referred again it
would meet the same fate. He de
manded immediate action a proceed
ing which Mr. Mondell opposed on
the grojind that if the Tinkham plan
should prevail members could come
in any day with other complaihts
against enforcement of prohibition
under the 18th amendment and thus
upset the regular business of the
body.
The only Democrat to break in
during the debate was Representa
tive Gallivan, Massachusetts, who
wanted to know how long Mr. Tink
ham expected to speak.
"t want to vote with him but if
he talks too long he may iose sL
vote," Mr. Gallivan shouted and the
house roared.
? M \
Representative -Garrett;, Tennes
see, aoting Dmocratic leader, sought
recognition as Mr. Mondell conclud
ed his answering argument, but
Speaker Gillett, said he was ready
to rule. This was,accepted as con
clusive even before the speaker be
gan a long statement, that the Tink
.
nam plan had failed.
It was largely on demand of Mrt
Garrett that the house voted on a
straight out question of sustaining
the chair, Tather than on a substi
tute by Mr. Mondell to table the'
Tinkham appeal. This settled the
issue definitely so far as action at
this session goes. Members said later
the Gillett decision probably would
stand longer than the lifetime of the
average representative. A
Mr. Mondell, in quoting authori
ties, recalled that a Republican
house 20 years ago "refused to rush
through a similar proposal. He de
clared the Tinkham resolution was
precisely the' same in form as that
offered by/;Representative Olmstsad
of Pennsylvania in 1901 and thrown
out on a point of order with Speak
er Henderson in the chair.

SAVES GRANDCHILD, BUT
DIES OF SHOCK
Baltimore, Md., May 7.?Mrs.

She had given the child a nickel. JJud
denly the child began to choke. The
grandmother realized what had hap
pened and shook the child vigorously
pounding its back and finally dis
lodging the coin, dropped over dead
from heart disease.

BANKERS DJSCU^S
PROBELMS OF DAY
Suggestions Made To Reach Solu
tion?Meet at Pinehurst.
Pinehuret N. C., May 7.?Specific
recommendations for the solution of
present pressing business problems
were made in reports submitted to
day to the executive council of the
American Bankers association meet
ing here by the economic policy
commission and the commission on
commerce and marine.
The influence of European busi
ness and financial conditions on the
United States was discussed in a re
port by John D, McHugh of New
York, chairman of the commerce
and .marine committee, and a warn
[ ing against 'hasty measures of legis
| lature designed to relieve the. abnor
mal conditions at present existing
in trade and industry' tfas sounded
in a report of the economic policy
committee of which Paul M. War
burg is chairman.
A i. . * Xt- ? \ 1_ J! M
A report 01 wie savangs cans aivi
sion opposed development of gov
ernment organizations to the extent
of creating competition -with savings
institutions. The council also de
cided to make a crusade against
bank robbers because of the crime
wave.
Approval of the McFadden bill
provides a new position to b^ known
as the under secretary of the trea
sury and abolishing the office of the
comptroller of the currency was em
braced in the reports of th;? econom
ic policy committee.
"We believe," the report says,
"that the governor of the federal
reserve board should be elected by
the bdard, instead of being named,
with the vice governor, by the pres
ident and that the governor, in
stead of the secretary of. the treas
ury should be the presiding officer..
The latter, being rarely able to at
tend the meetings, can not be close
ly interested in touch with the bank
ing business. On account of the inri
perative demands which the regular
duties'of the secretary of the treas
ury make upon that official we view
with favor the suggestion that the
position of under secretary of the
treasury corresponding to the posi
tion of under secretary 4n the de
partment of state 'be created and
that this official represent the treas
ury on the board."
The report emphasized the neces
sity for the strictest economy in all
branches of the government
. The repeal of tjie present tax lip
on excpss profits was urged> while
the present levies upon transporta
tion, especially upon freight, were
said to be harmful to business. In its
consideration of the problems con
fronting the railroads of the coun
try the report said It was Idle to seek
a cure in government ownership and
operation.
The EschjCummins law, it con
tinued, has not had a fair test and
there is good reason to believe tha t
in normal times and witn some
modifications it will prove Itself ca
pable of effectively meeting our rail
road problems.

' The 1 olio wing suggestions may M
help yea make better butter:
The farm buttermaker fails it? ob
tain butter after churning the usual
length of time; in fact the churn
ing is! sometimes prolonged for sev
eral hours without obtaining butter.
The cause of the difficulty, together
wih the remedies, are as follows:
- 1.?Churnipg temperature \oo <
low. It may be necessary, under ex-'
ceptional conditions, to raise it to
between 65 degrees and 70 degrees
P.
2.?Cream too thin or too rich. It
should contain about 30 per cent
butter fat.
* i *
3.?Cream too sweet. If ripened .
to a moderate acidity it will churn
more easily.
4.?Churn too full. In order to
obtain the maximum concussion the 1
churn should be not more than one
third full. y
5.?Ropy formentation of the
cream preventing concussion.. This
may be prevented by sterilizing all
the utensils and producing the milk
and cream under the most sanitary
conditions. If additional measures
are needed, the pasteurization of
the cream, with subsequent protec
tion from contamination, and ripen
ing it with a good starter, sour
milk will be effective.
. 6.?Individuality of the cow. The x
only remedy is to obtain cream from
a cow recently fresh, or cream that
is known to churn easily, and before
ripening fix it with the cream j that '
is difficult to churn.. .
7.?Thie cow being fkr advanced
in lactation. The effects may be at
least partially overcome by adding,
before ripening, some cream from a
cow that is not far advanced in the
period of lactation.
8.?Foods that produce hard fat.
Such feeds are cotton seed meal and
timothy hay. Succulent feeds such as
silage and roots tend to overcome
the condition. (Farmer's Bulletin
No. 876.)
Official figures show Belgian un
employed to be about 100,000 in the
entire kingdom.
