r WAEHDJOEUN, May 9-11 smash- ng blow at thahrestige of President Hoover was delivered by the Senate this afternoon when that, body by s vote of 41 to 44 retained the export bounty plan in the Farm Relief Elli. A motion to strike out the clauses relating to the export bounty was made by Senator Watson, Republi- can floor loader, at the request oi President Hoover.

The President set forth his views against the-bounty plan in an 011911 letter to the chairman 0f the Seuale committee on liriculture some days “o. ‘This letter was again read to the Senate just before the vote was taken by donator Bingham, (Repub- lican. Connecticut), in a last, desper- rte effort to stem the tide against theiadministration. It. apparently tailed of its purpose as 1B Republi- can senators voted for the bounty plan and against the wishes of tho President. They included all the Re- publican senators from Borah to Brookhart who constitute the pro-

an exporter of wheat would receive a bounty of 21 cents, because o. tar- lfl dilly of 42 cents is levied upon wheat imported into the country. The export bounty on cotton, Wflfflfi has no tariff, is placed at, 2 cents u pound.

1t is not probable that; the House hill concur at this time in the Sen- ate Amendment. or that President Hoover would sign a farm relief bill with the export bounty provisions iri- cluded. The real fight is likely to come when the Senate plays the ex- port bounty provision as a rider upon the tariff bill.

No Scarcity of Bait Since Last Monday and Fishermen Are Optimistic.

While it is impossible yet to make oomparlsonawith the esrly lobster catch of lost your, the prospects are that a. fair catch will be secured by our fishermen this season, reports Mr. B. T. Gallant, Inspector of Fish- eries, There was a scarcity of bait all lest week and very little fishing ‘was done. Since Monday, however, the bait has been plentiful and ex- cellent catches are reported from several points along the coast.

Mr. PJA. MacLelian, overseer st Souris, reports to the inspector that herring is still scarce in that vicin- ity, but prospects for lobsters are very bright; one marl getting 840 pounds in 145 traps, the heaviest fishing in many years.

With regard to herring he said that ‘ it was also hard to make any com-| parisons with other years. Herring was very scarce up until Monday when largo catches were reported. '

Between Campbcilton and Norlh Cape on Saturday good jzatcilcs of herring are reported, the first to be secured there for quit: n while. At the opening oi the sea.- son no traps were set out, so few were the schools. At the present time this fish is just striking 1n from North Cape to West Point.

Tragic Death of Nine Months’ Old Child of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Reid.

A pathetic tragedy occurred at Middleton on Wednesday afternoon at about 3 o'clock when the infant son. John, aged B months, of Pro- fessor and Mrs. W. J. Reid met his 1198111 by a curious accident. The lit- tle child was sitting in its high chair, on tho verandah of the house when it fell forward head first into s buc- keg of milk. Mrs. Reid had just start- ed to drive to Freetown station to meet her husband coming up from Charlottetown by train and the hired Kiri was left in charge of the child.

The girl who was almost beside the little one on the verandah the mom- ent the accident happened called loudly for Mrs. Reid who fortunate- ly had not driven out of hearing and aha returned immediately. The baby rescued from its position gave no signs of life and the mother call- ed at once on the telephone to Dr. A.’ D. Sharp who was on the spot within a. few minutes. He, however. after doing all possible was only able to pronounce life to be extinct and was of the opinion that death had been caused more from the fall than by drowning.

Them are left; to mourn besides the bereaved parents, six brothers and sisters, namely, James, George. William, Robert, Betty and Wilma t0 whom The Guardian extends espec- ial sympathy in their tragic bereave-

Opinion Divided As to Advisability 0f Try. ing Pacific Coast Market. ’

.___

A number of local shippers were in- terviewed by The Guardian yester- day as to the advantage of the new distress raie of $1.31 per 100 pounds on potatoes from points in the Mar-

itime Provinces to the Pacific Cpasthflw

snnounced recently by the Canadian Freight Association, Montreal, in a communication to the C. P. R. freight department at St. John. There was quite a. difference of opinion as to‘ the value of this rate to this Prov- ince. In view of the long haul and lateness of the season, it was held that it, would be a risky venture. Oth- er prominent potato men, on thelcon- trary, felt that the new rates would open up ll profitable new market for potatoes from the eastern provinces, and that in view of the difficulty of disposing of cars at present loading along the railway here, it would be wall to make every efiort to secure a market on the Pacific Coast.
