C., Thursday Afternoon, February 9, 1922 3^. pw Copy SENATE APPROVES MARKETING BILL Washington, Feb. 8.?The house cooperative marketing bill, a measurt designed to aid the agricultural interests and pressed by the farm bloc was passed by the senate late today. Only one vote, that of Senator Merrj (Democrat) of Rhode Island, was cast against the measure. Two other senators, Brandcgee (Republican) of Connecticutt and King (Democrat) of Utah, were paired against the measure and withheld their votes. The vote was 48 to 1 and the senate's action was regarded by some as the most sweeping of the victories yet attained by the farm bloc since, in accepting the house bill, the senate overrode its own judiciary committee which had reported a substitute measure. The substitute was defeated by r>b to 4. I he bill now foes to conference for adjustment of differences with the house. As passed by the senate the bilj retains the provisions which relieve the cooperative associations from the application of laws prohibiting trusts or unfair business practices, placing the authority to determine when such nets have been committed with the secretary of agriculture. The senate substitute would have made the associations amenable to the present laws and it was around this point that debate revolved in the week the subi ct was before the senate. During the closing hours of debate today, reference was made to the bloc's power. This brought from Senator Norris (Republican) of Nebraska the statement that he had heard the bill had administration support. "It is the first time in many months that the majority has come over to my side," he said. "It happens so almighty seldom that I feel I must make note of it. Maybe the administration is behind this bill. If that is so then I am glad they have come over into the same wagon with me. Whether they came because of me or in spite of me, I do not know, but 1 teelcome them here." The most important of the amendments accepted by the senate was one providing "that the associations shall not deal in products of non-memberr amount greater, in value than such as are handled hy It for members." This, it was explained, makes it impossible for cooperative associations to "be stolen" by a group of individuals who merely by declining to admit new members resolve themselves into a closed corporation. Without the amendment the group would be able, according to senators, to engage in competitive trade by buying other farmers' products to an unlimited extent. The amendment limits any association in the handling of the commodities of non-members so that what was described as a throttle of local business could not be obtained. Other important provisions of the bill prescribe that no member of an association may have more than one vote in directing its activities regardless of the amount of stock he holds nor can any association pay dividends on stock or membership's capital in excess of 8 per cent a year. VVitn respect to tne autnoruy granted the secretary of agriculture to control attempts to monopolize or restrain trade, the bill provides that notice of charges of alleged violations must he served on the offending association and it must be given an opportunity to defend itself. If found guilty of the charges, the secretary of agriculture may order the association to "cense and desist" and in event of its failure to do so, the case then may be referred to the federal courts for enforcement of the order and the fding of such decrees as the courts deem equitable.

Letters written by Mabel Nor-! mand to Taylor were found in a boot , in the closet and a handkerchief was | discovered initialled "M. M." Search . for the missing butler Sands is con- j t tinued. ___ Los Angeles, Feb. 8.?Officers try-! , ing to solve the mystery of the mur. dcr of William Desmond Taylor, mo, tion picture director, here last Wed. nesday night, reported tonight that they had made but slight progress in . the past 24 hours. The blank wall which, they said, un. identified influences appeared to have . thrown up between thorn and the true r facts remained unpierced, although1 me ponce ueparnnom and uie o.neo of the sheriff' were attempting to make separate breaches through ii into new , fields of inquiry. The police continued to concentrate ( their efforts upon search for Edward F. Sanders, former secretary and buti ler for Taylor, missing since Taylor ? made a charge of grand larceny . against him last August. Capt. D ivid . L. Adams, head of the detective bu-j i reau, reiterated that "there is no one . else we want, and have discoveredj , nothing that would indicate a motive j tor the crime except that of averting . prosecution on the grand larceny . charge." ( Late today the detective bureau rei ceived through the sheriff's olfice a , message from the sheriff at Tucson, Ariz., to the effect that a man re-, sembling Sands was seen at Lowell, , Ariz., February 4, three days after J , Taylor was slain. ; The sheriff's office here, according: to the deputies working on the case, i ; up to tonight and wound up a "blank i wall" in every step it had taken. This investigation, it was said, hail nothing' I to do with Sands. The sheriff's investigators said they j expected to examine Henry Peavey, . houseman for Taylor, in an effort to > obtain corroboration or detial of cer[ tain statements made to them by other i parties, andthat possibly some light , N JPQliUJt* Situation , by I . this. Peavey passed the day assisting officers in checking over Taylor's effects I t at the apartment where the slaying . occurred. These articles were taken after the checking to a storage wnre, house under the direction of the pub- j . lie administrator. The police took charge of certain articles, as possibly ! having some bearing on the killing but did not state what they were. After the search, Captain Adams said there had been no letters dis. covered and that he never had seen ; any leiters addressed to Taylor with, I the exception of a half dozen from the director's former wife and daugh-! | > ter. These, he declared, had absoi lutely no bearing upon the case. . Mabel Normand nnd Mary Miles, , Minter, motion picture actresses, ( friends of the slain director, who have t been questioned about the case, rc-\ i mained in seclusion today. Both po-; lice and sheriff's investigators said late in the afternoon no further in. formation had been sought from them. While Asociated Press dispatches: from Washington announced the navy department had forwarded the police descriptions of a deserter from the navy who had used the name "Strathmore," which was known to have been used by Sands, the police said they had no direct information from the department. They professed anxiety to (jet the official description, saying they could make good use of it. i New York, Feb. 8.?The New York detective bureau denied today a report that it had received word of the arrest in Miami, Fla., of "Dapper Don" Collins, wanted here in connection with the shooting of John I'. Reid, silk manufacturer, and in I,os Angeles ( , in connection with the slaying of Willuim Desmond Taylor. No trace has been found of Collins since he disappeared from New York last May, it was asserted.

The ex- 1 act amount that is to be determined n upon and the sources from which it r must come will be taken up tomorrow e by a subcommittee headed by Chair- y man Fordney. b Committeemen said it was not the intention to rely upon any part either 1: of the intevest or principal of the t British or other foreign debts. They | said thn! something around $350,000,- a 000 a year would take care of the cash (, payments to be made over the two and I one-half years' period beginning .Tanu- a nry 1, 1023, and that the finding of t definite and certain sources from s which to obtain this amount was their o immediate concern. t The $350,000,000 estimate, it was explained, was made on the basis of lj figures presented at public hearings o by fiscal officers of the army, navy ,| and marine corps. These figures con- n templte 50 per cent of the men who L served with the army and 75 per cent n of those who served with the navy and marine corps electing to take t cash. This figure may be revised as i; the subcommittee studies the matter. ,| The first question before the tax n : ubcommittee will be that of deciding whether the total amount of tax rev- t villi e is to come from a limited group li of sources or whether the taxes will s be spread over a wide field so as to s make the burden as light as possi- H ble on those who have to pny. It was f said that there were two schools of t thought in the committee on this f] ouestion. Some members emphasized (| it would be the purpose to so arrange the tax program as to interfere as little as possible with the recovery c of business. il There was said to be drift of senti- v ment in the committee for a tax of 0 possibly one cent a gallon on gasoline 0 and also a levy on the transfer of s stocks and bonds. These are only two i of a soon of suggestions and it was t m&de jjlsin that these has been no de-. 4 cision as to these or any others.

TO AiD SCHOOLS j Chief among the flood of now bills introduced in the house yesterday morning w is the measure, sponsored by F. (I. Harris of Spartanburg, It. Bryson of Greenville and T. .1. llcndrix of Duncan to provide a special building fund to be loaned school districts in the stale. No small volume* of business wa> transacted by the house at its single meeting, the greater number of measures considered and new bills introduced, however, being of only local import. The Ilarris-Bryson-lIendrix bill, which was referred to the ways and mean; committee, provides for the is-j suance of $10,000,000 in state bonds J by the state treasurer, Ihese bonds to bear interest at a rate not to exceed 5 per cent per annum. The proceeds from the sale of these bonds would be kept as a separate fund in the hands of the state treasurer to be paid out upon the warrant of the stale superintendent of education with the np proval and at trie direction ot lno ] state hoard of education, which would be empowered to make loans from the fund to school districts for building,) equipping, repairing and enlarging public school buildings and purchns-j ing suitable sites. These loans would be made at the' request of the various county boards of education and would bear interest at a rate not more than one-half of one per cent higher than the rate paid by the state on the bonds issued.! The loan would also he evidenced by { the bonds <f the school district ro-j cciving the loan and the county treas-1 urers would be authorized to levy a' special buildup? fund tux on such school districts to meet the annual payments on the bonds and the interest clue. The state bonds, which would be issued under the provisions of the bill, would be coupon bonds of the denomination of $500 and $1,000 or larger denomination and would be exempt from nil state, county and municipal taxes. One-twentieth of the bonds so issued January, 192J, would fall due January, 1924, another 20th January 1 of each year thereafter until the whole series has been paid. The loans be payable in 20 equal annual installments. The plan, the authors of the bill think, would result in a considerable saving to the state on its school building program, the state bonds, they point out, being more easily sold andi for a cosnidernblc lower rale of interest than the school district bonds.

COMMITTEE TAKES UP FORD'S PLAI Washington, Fob. 8.?Opening se; sions of the house military commil loo's investigation of the Ford cor tract offer for purchase and lease v the government properties at Muse! Shoals, Ala., revolved today primpally about the clauses relating t manufacture of fertilizers for the n: lion's agricultural needs. Secretar Weeks of the war department, appeal irg as the first witness, repeatedl declared his doubts as to whether fei tilizers could be manufactured chea] !y at Muscle Shoals and expressed hi belief that amendments to safeguar better the government's interests i the ?100,000,000 investment alroad made should be incorporated in th offer as it was drafted. To alter existing government pol l ies regarding the lease of real estut or other properties and permit a 10 year lease of the water power machii try and dams in Alabama, the seen tary asserted repeatedly, would be a unwise act and should not be permil ted. He advocated a reduction in hi time clause from 100 years to f>u i the event congress should decide I accept the offer. Another often reiterated suggestio involving a change in present lar gunge of 1 ho offer, the secretary poinl ed out, would require a lixed capita ization for the operating company M Ford is to create. The secretary sai r.o provision existed in the offer guai anteeing a capitalization which 111 government might recover, in who! or in part, in the event the contra* was v'olated. A provision of son sort was advisable, he said, whic would permit the government to in pose through legal means a penalty c forfeit should the company fail 1 carry out the terms of the offer. "Anything might happen in the no 100 years," he said. "While not tl' slightest doubt I have as to the so vency of Mr. Ford or of his intentior tr execute the agreement in goo faith, neither he nor I will be hei clui-ing the life of the contract. I considering this question we are pr< viding for the future generations." Regarding the manufacture of fe: tilizer and their cheap delivery to tl far mora of tho country, Mr. Wool said there was no reasonable certaint in his mind that that was possible. "If I thought that development pei fccted by Mr. Ford would effect a nu terial reduction in the cost of fert lizer," he said, "I would vote for h; proposition if I were in congress. Bi 1 am so in doubt as to that, I shoul hesitate to give any advice unless a sured of a guarantee." Asked what the annual consumptic of fertilizer was the secretary sa :? ~ ra nnn nnn - - II *1 jlf'K l#A 1IIIU ll'U IO,VVU,"VU L<MI> it I the Muscle Shoals plants would on1 produce at a maximum '2u0,000 ton That amount, he asserted, would n< in his opinion atTect the existing ma ket. The war secretary previously h: told the committee that Mr. Ford he declined to guarantee fertilizer pr< duction over a given number of yea and had informed him in conversatioi that he would not manufacture- tl commodity at a loss. Although pressed repeatedly by se oral committee members the secretai did not express an opinion as whether the offer should be accepti or rejected by congress. At one poii he was asked whether the proje should be salvaged or Mr. Ford's off< accepted, but he replied only that tl government would not salve the pr< ject in any event and repeated his ii tention to complete the Wilson dam the offer was rejected. He said da could be completed, without taking dollar from the treasury, by a bor issue based on commercial value < the project as a water power doveloi ment.

This sharp drop indicates that men are either m puittinp the business of dealing in automobiles or are neglecting to prou* vide themselves with licenses, accord'y iiig to Secretary Thomas. s' The peace officers of the state are being called upon to enforce the lir" cense law, Secretary Thomas said yesterday, who pointed out that the counu' ties get 80 per cent of the license fees and all the revenue derived from fines imposed. 1:1 "Golden Eagles" le Last week the nthletie association *,'b" "'""u ? to prize of a school pennant to the Ixiy . ? 01 girl who handed in the test name ^ for the boys' basket ball squad.
