WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Argument began to-day in the Kahn-Livernash | election contest before the House Com- mittee on Elections. Oliver Dibble, representing Kafin, addressed the committee on the California law. Dib- ble bases his case chiefly on some 800 | ballots upon which the name of Liver- nash is voted ‘twice. He holds that this nullifies the ballot by specific dec- laration of the California law, and that if the California law is adjudged to govern the case Kahn will be seated. The argument will be resumed to- morrow. Livernash will plead his own case. Kahn, who has been ill at his home in San Francisco, has wired his attorney that he will leave for Wash- ington at once.

W., WASHINC Bard, from the Lands, to-day famous so-called California, which U, 1406 G ST TON, Jan. 20 Committee on reported favorably “5 per cent, bill” provides that the of the State shall receive 5 per cent of all pub- | lic lands sold within its borders. The total net proeeeds of these sales amount to date to $17,866,252, which means that $893,312 shall be transferred from the national to the State treasury should the bill become law. The claim grows from the fact that in all other such States this provision was incorporated in the enabling act by which they became States and has been operative from the first. Califor- nia miss this benefit through the manner in which it was taken into the sisternood without an enabling act. Similar bjlls to correct the deficiency ed yvears and have many times been fa- vorably reported. The House committee having consid- | eration of the bill fathered by the Out- door Art League of California providing for the purchase or condemnation of the Calaveras Big Trees reported fa- vorably to-day. This bill will be substi- tuted in the Senate for the bill pending there introduced by Senator Perkins, the machinery of the House 1t for carrying out its purpose being similar. - PURE FOOD BILL IS PASSED. House Gives the Henburn Measure an Overwhelming Major WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 passed the Hepburn pure food bill to- day on a rising vote—201 to 68—its op- ponents being unable to obtain a roll- call on the bill. The amendment in- serting the word “skillful” with refer- ence to nersons who sell adulterated or misbranded goods and which would have compelled the Government to prove intent to violate the law by the venders was stricken out on an aye and no vote in the House. Several attempts were made to amend the bill, but no material changes were made. The bill fixes the standards of foods and drugs as to thelr purity, strength | and character, and defines what shall be considered adulterations or mis- branding of foods and drugs. It pro- hibits interstate commerce, importation and exportation of such misbranded or adulterated articles. It is proposed to enlarge the scope of the bureau of chemistry to include the bureau of foods, and impose upon' it the duty of performing all chemical work for the other executive departments. This bureau will be charged with the duty of inspecting food and drug pro- ducts which belong to interstate or for- eign commerce. The Secretary of Ag- riculture is given authority to employ such chemists, inspectors, clerks and laborers as may be necessary for the enforcement of the act. One section of the bill provides penal- ties for the introduction of adulterated or misbranded foods or drugs, and an- other section requires the Secretary of Agriculture to prescribe rules and reg- ulations to govern the director of the nator | Public | ave been before Congress for twenty | .—The House | | bureau of chemistry and foods in ex- | aminations of articles required to be | inspected under the law.
