Measure Rccnacted filth a Few Change* as Part of Annual Appro? priation Act for Uic United Suites Department of Agriculture. Washington, Aug. 11.?The annual appropriation bill for the department of agriculture just passed by eoagress contains a reenactment, effeetivo Sep? tember 1, 1916, of the United States cotton futures act, with a few changes. Section II of the present law, which taxes orders sent broad for the mak? ing of future contracts on foreign cot? ton exchanges unless certain con? ditions were complied with, will be omitted. A new section known as 6a Is in? serted in the bill, which provides an optional contract under which parties may, by agreement, without being sub? ject to tax, contract that under cer? tain specified conditions the buyer may demand delivery of the basis grade named In the contract. Another modification which will be of Interest and assistance to the trade hi the authority conferred on the Sec? retary of agriculture, In case of dis? putes, to Include In his findings, even though only one question be referred, a complete classification of the cotton for the purpose of delivery on future contracts. Under the old law, the au? thority of the secretary was confined to a determination of the specific ques? tion of grade, quality, or length of staple referred to him by the parties. In other words, if the dispute involved grade only, and the cotton was found to be gin-cut, which is a question of quality, the secretary had no author? ity to Include a statement as to gin cut in his findings. Government officials in charge bf the matter call especial attention to the facts that the new act will not become effective until September 1, 1916, and that the old act of August 18, 1914, will remain in full forco un? til the beginning of next month. * The rules and regulations of both the treasury and the agricultural de pertinents, with slight modifications and additions necessitated by the changes made in the law, will be re? issued shortly after approval of the bill by the president, so that there will be no disturbance whatsoever to the trade. The official cotton standards of the United States, heretofore estab? lished, will he read opted and prompt? ly promulgated, so as to he In force when the new set becomes operative.

IP t lOfi n mm TIGKRS HARD HIT. \YI?i.sUey and Beet Sei ml in diaries I ?i ton, v - ??* j Charleston, Aug. i L, --Fifteen nun- ^ died ball eint bottle* of * hisk^y and 12,840 buttles of beer were seized by State constables near Charleston to? day, the retail value of the alleged contraband being more than $4,000. Chief Constable S. M. Duncan said tonight that an examination, showed that about 1,000 bottles of "near beer" really contained whiskey. He said "Charles Blue" shipped the car? load from Jacksonville to "J. H. Blue" in Charleston. There does not appear I to be a "Blue" family resident here. Many of the bottles were not label? ed and the chief constable pointed out that the United States olticers would be called upon to investigate this phase, since the interstate laws are violated. Permission to use its sidetrack for a carload of "bricks" was given by the McCabe Fertilizer company which told the constable that H. D. Koester had made the arrangement. Kx>estcr Insisted that he was given a commis? sion to unload and deliver a "carload of bricks." but declined to tell the officers who was to receive the wet goods. The name of a Jacksonville Brewing company appears on, a tag in one of the barrels. The bill of lading calls for 107 bar? rels "near beer" while the constables found ill barrels in the car. "I know the taste of the real beer and the cases we seized today are the goods," Chief Constable Duncan said tonight. "1 will send samples for chemical test to make assurance doubly sure, though. .Meantime, 1 hope some fellow will undertake to sue out claim and delivery papers for the confiscated shipment." The seizure i.- the largest since the prohibition law went into effect the tirst of January. Dear horn Orcer Loses Ufe in Water.
