Underwood bill again in house agenda and beef probe
The Underwood cotton tariff reduction bill advances in the house as Ways and Means Committee reports it favorably. It mirrors a version vetoed by President Taft last August, with Democrats claiming big annual savings for cotton clothing users. In a separate move, the house judiciary committee moves to a preliminary beef trust investigation led by Edwards, with private inquiry before proceeding. Senator Nixon lies gravely ill in a hospital after meningitis following a prior operation. Spinal meningitis adds to the medical concern as specialists are summoned from Baltimore. Cotton versus wool notes contrast regional production.
