DENIES BILL IS 'INQUISITORIAL' Washington. —The senate interstate commerce committee today reported its federal trade commission bill as a substitute for the trade commission bill recently passed by the house. Chairman Nowlands said the action of the committee had been non-par tisan. He denied that the bill is In quisitorial. "The commission,” he said, "will re quire reports only from those corpor ations designated by it and the num ber will be comparatively- few. Hon est corporations have nothing to fear. Mr. Newlands said his committee soon would report its second trust measure a railroad securities bill. Explaining the trade commission hill to the senate, Mr. Newlands said there was a "depression" at present in this country but lie considered it w-orid-wide and the result in part ot needed economic changes. Without debate the hill went to the calendar after his announcement that he expected to call it up for consider ation in a short time. Its Provisions. The senate bill is similar in gen eral outline to that passed in the house, but contains these provisions not included in the house measure: That unfair competition in com merce shall be unlawful and that the commission be empowered to prevent such competition by enforcible court orders. Investigation of foreign trade con ditions and their effect on American export trade and of the question ot combination among American and foreign producers for the control ot prices. The house bill provides a commis sion of three members; the senate one of five members. The house bill gives the commis sion authority over corporations with a capital of not less thon 5,000,000 while the senate bill Includes all cor porations—except railroads engaged in interstate commerce. VARDAMAN AND WESTJUKE QP Washington, D. C. —Senators West, of Georgia, and Vardaman, of Mftsiß sippl, made it up and shook hands today, after the clash in the senate that nearly resulted in fight. The picturesque Mississipplan greeted the Georgian cordially when they met on the floor of the senate and expressed regret at the occurrence, which he attributed to the heat of debate. He said he was sorry for his remark which so riled West. The clash between West and Var daman came as a climax to one of the longest and bitterest debates in which the senate has indulged in years, and which resulted in avictory for President Woodrow Wilson and his policies. The subsidy grab in the Panama Canal act was repealed and the vote was sufficiently overwhelm ing to please the most ardent friends of the administration. Throughout the debate, the advo cates of the subsidy have charged re peatedly that the Carnegie peace propaganda had expended money in creating sentiment for the repeal. Senator West suggested that perhaps the shipping trust had spent much more money in trying to save the subsidy. “Did you get any of It?” asked Var daman, with heat. West started toward him with the declaration that ‘‘You can’s say that to me.” Senator Ashurst stepped between the men, and soon they were pacified.

Souther and Frank Forrester for America, and Spencer Fish and Frank S. Drake for England. Official timer. W. Struther Jones. Cables to King. New York. —The international polo games have drawn thousands of polo enthusiasts, society folk, foreign di plomats and state and national of ficials to this city. For several days country places and resorts near Meadoweroft have been the scene of entertainments for the visitors and last night society took full advantage of the big event to stage noval fea tured dances and dinners at which the flags of the two contesting na tions formed tlie chief decorations. Added interest in the game today came with the announcement that King George at Buckingham Palace and King Alfonso of Spain, had re quested that they he Informed by s-pe cial cable messages of the period re sults of the match. For World’s Championship. Westbury, N. V.—No sporting event In American history has dvnwn together a more enthusiastic, more fashionable crowd, than that which came today to "cheer the American and English polo teams who met here on the Meadow brook field In the first game of the ae ries that gives the world's championship to the victor. It was a 40.000 crowd: one that taxed every lilt of seating and standing room In the immense enclosure. It was a crowd that on one side represented the wealth and aristoernry of America find Europe; on the other side that repre sented the middle class Americans, who came from all sections of the country so that they might be liere to feel the won drous thrill that a polo game alone can give. Americans Favorites. The American team, favorite In the betting, went into battle carrying hun dreds of thousands of American dollars on Its chances to win, not only today's game, but the series as well. But even thoueli some polo "wise man" figured that the English team Isn't formidable enough to wrest the championship from the American four, a lot of English mon ey came Into sight last night and early today, and the English hßckers lured on by the short opportunity, plunged heav ily on the chances of Lord Wimborne’s aggregation. Both teams are trained to the min ute; their ponies, benefited by a rather extended rest, showed their eagerness for battle when they were given mild workouts In the lmmnlng. The early Indications were that the games today would equal in Interest, in thrills and In closeness any that over have been staged in an International polo combat. Soon After Daybreak. The crowd began arriving many hours before the game was called, and amused itself during the Interval by giving the "once over" to the wonderfully and dar ingly gowned women. Soon after day break the automobile caravan started to move on its way to the Meadowbrook Club from New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and distant points In New York state. The roads that lead to AWsthury were so packed with automo biles after the noon hour, thit the ma chines had to crawl along causing many persons to arrive late. The Long Island railroad, running a fleet of special trains from New York City and Brooklyn, pumped Its human freight Into Westbury at the rate of more than 100 a minute. *12.50 Seats. The West Stand whers the boxes were placed, and where ordinary seats com manded an average price of 112.50 was a bowr of beauty, with Its waving flags, Its hunting draplngs, Its beautiful wom en In the gowns that included every col or of the rainbow, that seemed reflected In the East Stand that housed girls as pretty, as dainty and as prettily garbed ns their wealthier sisters on the other side of the lot. The leaders of hoth teams while sat isfied with the condition of their men and ponies, were In no way over-confi dent as to the ultimate result of the day's battle. "In Good Bhape.” "We are In good shape," said Captain Monty Waterbury, of the American championship outfit. "We have trained hard, and we have tried to perfect our team work. I do not care to make any predictions as to the outcome of the game or the series. The English team this year strikes me as Jnst about as strong as that aggregation last year— and everybody knows they gnve us a terrific fight. They’ll fight every min ute during the game, and we’ll fight them hack, and It loks to me as If the best team will win. "We're Hopeful." “I am hopeful of victory—but Jual hopeful," declared Major F. W. Bar rett, captain of the English team. “We have a most wholesome respect for ths American pololsts, and we are not boast ing about what we’ll do—or what we hope to do. But we’ll give the champ ions a fight—you can bet on that, and before the battle has gone along vgy far they'll know that they've got their hands pretty full.” CLOSING EXERCISES AT JOHN MILLEDGE The closing exercises of the John Mil ledge grammar school of this city mark ed the end of the first year of any pub lic grammar school of Augusta where the enrollment for the year lias gone over a thousand. Over nine hundred children took part In the beautiful little program yesterday. The Richmond Academy scholarship and Tubman High school scholarship, of fered by the Parent-Teacher Association of the school, were awarded to J. Win. Britt, son of Police Lieutenant O. E. W. Britt, nnd Bele Thompson. These two pupils bear the distinction of being the brightest In the entire school.—the larg est public school In the city. Alma Vaughan of the sixth grads, was given a handsome dictionary, for having made the highest mark In the studies of her class. A large number of the mothers and fathers of the pup'ls of the school wit nessed the drills, etc., which were given on the spacious play grounds of the school. During the past year splendid progress has been made by the hoys of the 7th and Bth grades In shop work an<s by the girls In cooking and sewing The John Mllledge school Is probably better equipped for this ***o of training than any other school In the city.

He lived alone nnd his failure to appear at -nis boarding house today led friends to Investigate. Judge Dickson formerly was dean of the law department nt Emory College. He had no near rel atives. DIPFdATS SEE! MAN OF HOOD (Continued from Page 1.) pable of pacifying Mexico so that u constitutional election may be held. A man of unusual qualifications is sought. He must be without violent prejudices, able to conserve the in terests of the Huerta followers as well as the constitutionalists. The neu tral populace, too. must be satisfied that a sound nnd stable administra tion will be Inaugurated which will be immediately recognized by the United Stutes and the world gene rally. Much Accomplished. The mediators and delegates began their task In a spirit of optimism. They felt they had accomplished much by the signing of the first series of pro tocols. In this document the Amer ican and Mexican delegates, as well as the mediating envoys, entered into an agreement for the transfer oi power from the hands of Huerta to the new provisional president in the following manner: A government is to be constituted of a character to be later provided “which shull be recognized in Mexico Glty" on a fixed date and thereafter "shall exercise public functions until there shall he inaugurated a consti tutional president.” The language of the protocol pur posely' uses the phrase “which shall be recognized in Mexico City” with out specifying by whom, so that in another protocol recognition will be promised by the United States as well us the mediating countries, Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Constitutional Succession. The first protocol is the only one which will deal with the method of transfer. It omits reference to con stitutional succession through the ap pointment of a minister of foreign af fairs which the Mexican plan had sug gested. By its simple affirmative statement that a government shall arise in Mexico City on a certain date there is no prohibition of any particu lar way by which the transfer shall be accomplished but It Is explicitly understood that the appointment by Huerta of the man selected here is one process to which the United States objected and which will not be put into efffect. For Recognition. Another protocol will deal with the personnel of the new provisional gov ernment and set forth that the new executive shall be Installed after be ing recognized by Mexican Nationals, including all political parties. Want Clauea Inserted. The Mexican delegates ure anxious that some clause be written In one ol the protocols by which It shall be emphasized that the new president la to be recognized by Interior Mexico a* well as foreign nations. These points will be worked out In future conferences but for the pres ent attention Is centered on the in dividual. The name, of Pedro Las curain. minister of foreign affairs when Madero was forced to resign, is being mentioned as a possibility hut It Is known that he would not be ac cepted by the constitutionalists. As yet the American government has sug gested no names. THREE BALLOONS ARE MISSING and Geo. Y. Morrison, passenger of the balloon Million Population Club, walked into Oregon City today.
