LOCK TYPE CANAL ,JETT lJNB0S0MS H|MSELF
Is Voted by House In Com
mittee of the Whole,
SEVENTY-SIX MAJORITY
When the Momentous Question Came
Up, the Houae Presented the Ap-
pearance of the Class Room
of Some Great University.
In committee of tho whole, Friday,
the house, by a vote of 110 to 34,
voted In favor of a lock canal across
the Isthmus of Panama, tho amend
ment to this effect being presented
by Representative Ltttauer of New
York.
With members of congress sitting
on the short steps In the aisles of tho
house, around the space In front of
the speaker’s desk, with a largo mem
bership of the lower branch of con
gress, with the galleries filled and
with Mr. Burton, of Ohio, pointer in
hand, Indicating by charts the differ
ence between sea level and lock ca
nal, the house presented every ap
pearance of the class room of a great
university.
Mr. Burton, on Thursday, gave no
tice that when the item In tho sun
dry civil bill was reachod appropri
ating upward of $25,000,000 he would
ask for an hour In which to present
his views on the lock level type of
Panama canal.
He prefaced his remarks by stat
ing that In the so-called Spooner law,
authorizing the expenditure of $135,-
000,000 for the Panama canal, and
giving the president the right to In
augurate this movement and carry
It to a successful conclusion, the type
was left with the president with cer
tain specifications and limitations.
He said that lately there had been
a strong agitation for a sea level ca
nal, and he believed that the time
bad come when the question of type
should be settled and the matter re
moved from the domain of controver
sy. Continuing, he said:
“It is net fair to the president and
to the executive officers of the gov
ernment who have this great enter
prise in charge to say to them, “Pro
ceed with the canal with all the speed
you may,’ and with another breath to
•ay that ‘we have not yet made up
our minds what kind of a canal you
•hall build.’ It 1b unjust to the subor
dinates who have gone to tho Isthmus
•to give the best years of their lives
• and their best efforts to hamper and
- embarrass them by falling to decide
' this question.”
Taking up his position in front
• of the maps, he called attention to
the vital difference between the two
’ types and remarked that when the
' topography is considered it would be
’the very strongest argument for the
Hock level canal.
H**> said thirty-four of the ablest
engineers of the world favored the
lock level type and he believed this
Judgment schould be accepted.
, Mr. Bartlett of Georgia made a
■point against the amendment of Mr.
Llttauer. He Insisted that the amend
ment was clearly new legislation and
argued the question from that prem
ise.
■ The chair, Mr. Watson, of Indiana,
held the amendment was In order and
cries of “vote, vote,” were heard.
Without further discussion the LIV
tauer amendment was adopted.
STRIKE IN SOUTHWEST ENDS.

ment and Work Will Be Resumed.
The appointed tellers completed the

eas and Indian Territory were car
ried by 1,400, and ends the strike in

PRESIDENT 19 DISPLEASED.
With New Amendment by House of
Meat Scandal Meaeure.
Secretary Loab Friday gave out a
summary of the letter President
Roosevelt wrdte Chairman Wadsworth
of the house committee on agricul
ture, disapproving of that committee’s
substitute for the Beveridge amend
ment to the agricultural bill regard
ing the Inspection of meat products.
In the letter to Mr. Wadsworth the
president stated that almost every
change in the proposed house amend
ment was a change for the worse, as
compared with the senate amend
ment.
MURDERED BY FILIPINOS.
I Confessicn of Convicted Kentucky
Feudist Gives Details of Assassi
nation of Marcum and Others.
A special from Cynthlana, Ky.,
says; The confession of ^Curtis Jett
gives the details of the assassination
of James B. Marcum and James Cock-
rill, and also throws new light, on
the murder of Dr. J. B. Cox, tho three
crimes having been committed dur
ing the reign of feudlsm in Breat
hitt county.
The confession is authorized by
Jett’s attorneys. Jett says ho, John
Smith and John Abner killed James
Cockrill; that Robert Deaton went
aftor Abner and Smith to aid In the
murder, and that Elbert Hargis, Jas.
Hargis, Ed Callahan, Jesse Spicer and
BUI Britton are tho men who formed
the conspiracy.
Starting out with these statements,
he enters extensively Into details of
tho murder, and lays bare every fea
ture of the conspiracy and the event!
before and after the murder.
He then confessed to the murder of
James B. Mlarcum, who, he says, was
killed at the instance of James Har
gis, and Ed Callahan, declaring that
the pistol with which he did the shoot
ing was furnished him by Callahan
for the purpose. He says B. J. Erwin
told the truth about tho killing.
Jett’s statement In regard to tho
assassination of Dr. Cox Is little less
sensational than his assertions In re
gard to the other murders. Ho says
he was at tho jail and heard three
shots, after which the telephone rang.
He went to Alex Hargis’ house and
Hargis asked what tho shooting was,
Jett telling the story in these words:
“I said I did not know, and Uncle
Alex said, ‘Let’s go down and see
if Jim or any of them are hurt.’
"Uncle Alex stopped at Jim’s gar
den fence, I guess he was afraid to
run In, but I was fearless and did not
care, you know, and I went Into the
yard, and In the shadow of the smoke
house—the moon was bright as day—
I shall never forget It—stood Ed Cal
lahan, Jim Hargis, Bill Britton, Jesse
Spicer and Elbert Hargis, with two
shotguns; I saw no plstolB.”
Jett closes his confession by say
ing that he has told tho “plain truth,
nothing more and nothing less.” He
relieves Alex Hargis of any com
plicity in the Cockrill and Marcum
murders, saying he Is “Innocent.”
KENTUCKY’S “HOME-COMING.”
Thousands of Wanderers Return
Again to Land of Nativity.
A I/Ou!svllle s dlspafch says: While
rain Wednesday caused a postpone
ment of the outdoor features of the
i home-coming week, it was unable to
affect the fervor of the greeting ex
tended by Kentucky to her long ab
sent sons and daughters, and the ex
ercises of welcome day, which were
conducted In the armory on Walnut
street, were carried through In a man
ner both brilliant and gratifying.
Despite the fact that tho rain fell
heavily just prior to the hour at
which the day’B program was to com
mence, fully 10,000 people were pres
ent. Tho visitors could not but be
charmed by the warmth of the wel
come that was extended to tnmu.
Mayor Bath greeted .them in behalf
of the people of Louisville, and Gov
ernor Beckham expressed In an elo
quent manner the pleasure felt by
the people of the state at large in

The address of Henry Watterson
was, howevev, the formal note of wel
come, and it struck a responsive

more graceful welcome, no speaker
could desire a warmer appreciation
than was rendered' by the listeners to

ANOTHER FAKE EXPLODED.
Woman Clairvoyant Cannot Locate
Money Which She Lost
'Mrs. M. C. Thomas of Kirkwood,
Ga., a suburb of Atlanta, an alleged
clairvoyant, who predicts Atlanta will
be destroyed by an earthquake, went
to the bank Thursday and drew out
six $100 bills. iSoon afterwards she
lost them, she claims, in the toilet
room of the union passenger station.
She was not willing to entrust the
recovery of the money to the spirits
and reported the matter to the po

8UNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS
SCARCITY OF LABOR
Leads Farmers of Georgia to
Seek Convict Help.
FINES OF PRISONERS PAID
So Great is Demand That Misdemean
or Prisoners Show Ten Per Cent
Decrease—State Prison Com-
mission's Report.
Another Indication of the great
scarcity of labor in Georgia, and this
applies especially to the agricultural
districts, Is found in the annual re
port of the state prison commission,
which Is now being prepared by Sec
retary Goodloe Yancey, and part of
which has already been placed in the
hands of the public printer.
This report, which is based on Juno
1, shows that there has been a de
crease of fully 10 per cent In the
number of misdemeanor convicts ou
the county cholugangs In Georgia, not
withstanding the fact that there has
been an Increase among the felony
convicts.
Tho explanation of this is that ow
ing to the scarcity of labor, farmers
where they are able to do it are pay
ing the fines of able-bodied prisoners
and putting them on their plantations
to work It out. It Is true they take
their chance on getting tho equiva
lent of the fine In labor, but In so
great need of .labor do they stand
that they ore willing to do this and
sometimes even more.
In 1903 the prison commission’3 re
port showed 2,283 misdemeanor con
victs, of whom 152 were white men,
and five white women. The report
this year for June 1 shows a total
of 2,043 misdemeanor convicts In the
state, of whom eighty-eight are white
men, and only one white woman. Had
It not been for the fact that many far
mers have paid the fines of the men
convicted in order to get their labor,
there Is no doubt about the fact that
there would have been an increase
In the number shown on the misde
meanor gangs.
The commission’s report shows this
voar a totil of 2,344 felony convicts,
ns against 2,280 In 1905, an increase of
C4. Notwithstanding an Increase in
the total number of felony convicts,
the number of white felons shows a
considerable decrease as compared
with last year. In 190i5 there were
284 white men and 7 white women In
the penitentiary, while this year there
are only 207 white men and C white
women. The counties which use fel
ony convicts on their public roads in
lieu of receiving proceeds from con
vict hire for public schools, have at
this time 571 short-term convicts, as
against 537 at the same time last year,
the variation being very slight.
It Is expected the commission’s re
port will be completed, printed and
ready for distribution by the time the
legislature meets on June 27.
ONE CENT RATE REFUSED.
Roads Will Charge Two Cents for
Transporting Georgia Troops.
Georgia’s military officials are just
now agitated over whether they will
be able to send two or three regi
ments to the coming encampment of
troops at Chlckamauga. It all de
pends on the railroad rate.
The'state has asked for a rate of
1 cent a mile for the troops from
their stations to Chlckamauga Park.
The Southeastern Passenger Associa
tion has, so far, declined to give this
rate, and has Informed them that
the rate would be 2 cents a mile.

'
American* Are Taint ITnem.
Tt has been remarked that the Amor- |
lean people consume more paint, both j
In the aggregate and per capita, than
any other people in the world. In a
recently published article on the sub
ject it was figured that our yearly
consumption is over KiO.OOO.OOO gallons
of paints of nil kinds, of which over
onc-balf is used iu the paintings of
houses.
The reason for this great consump
tion is twofold: a large proportion of
our buildings, especially In small
towns and rural districts, are con
structed of wood, and we. ns a people,
are given to neatness and ciennliness.
For, take it nil in all, there Is nothing
so cleanly or so sanitary as paint.
Travel where we will throughout the
country, everywhere we find the neat,
cheerful pninted dwelling, proclaiming
at once the prosperity and the self-
respect of our population.
Fifty years ngo tills was not so;
painted dwelliugs, while common in
the larger cities and towns, were the
exception in the rural districts; be
cause, on the one hand, n large pro
portion of those buildings were tem
porary makeshifts, and, on the other
hand, because paint was thei^a luxury,
expensive and difficult to obtain In the
out-of-the-way places, and requiring
special knowledge and much prepara
tion to fit It for use.
The Introduction of ready mixed or
prepared paints, about 1860, changed
the entire aspect of affairs. As the
.Tack-of-all-trades told the Walking
Delegate In one of Octave Tbanet's
stories “Any one can slather paint.”
The Insurmountable difficulty with
our predecessors was to get the paint
ready for “slathering.” That the coun
try was ready for paiut in a convenient,
popular form is shown by the Imme
diate success of the industry and its
phenomenal growth in fifty years from
nothing to 60,000,000 gallons—(he esti
mated output for 1900.
Some pretty severe things have been
written about and sakl against tills
class of paints, especially by painters
and manufacturers of certain kinds of
paste paints. Doub-lcss in mnny in
stances these strict ires have been Jus
tified and some fenrfully and wonder
fully constructed mixtures have In the
past been worked off on the guileless
consumer in the shape of prepared
paint. But such products have had
their short day and quickly disap
peared, and the too enterprising man
ufacturers that produced them have
come to grief In the bankruptcy
courts or have learne’. by costly ex
perience that honesty Is the best pol
icy and Lave reformed their ways.
The chief exceptions to this rule are
some mall order bouses who sell direct
to the country trade, at a very low
price—frequently below the wholesale
price of linseed oil. The buyer of such
goods, like the buyer of a “gold brick,”
has only himself to blame If he fin. ->
his purchase worthless With gold
selling at any bank or mint at a fixed
price owners of gold do not sell it at
a discount; and with linseed oil quoted
everywhere at fifty to seventy cents n
gallon, manufacturers do not sell a
pure linseed oil paint at thirty or forty
cents a gallon.
The composition of prepared paints
differs because paint experts Lave not
yet agreed as to tb> best pigments
and because the tiall" results of tests
on a large scale aro constantly Im
proving t-e formulas of manufactur
ers; but all have come to the conclu
sion that the essentials of good paint
•re pure linseed oil, fine grinding and
thorough incorporation, and In these
particulars all the products of repu
table manufacturers correspond; all
first class prepared paints are thor
oughly mixed and ground and the liq
uid base Is almost exclusively pure
linseed oil, the necessary volatile
“thlnners” and Japan dryers.
The painter's opposition to such pro
ducts is based largely on self-interest.
He want, to mix the paint himself
and to be paid for doing it; r.nd to a
certain class of painters it Is no rec
ommendation for a paint to say that it
will last five or tan years. The longer
a paint lasts the longer he will have
to wait for the Job of repainting. The
latter consideration has no weight with
the consumer, and the former is a
false Idea of economy. Hand labor
can never be as cheap or as efficient
as machine work, and every time the
painter mixes paint, did he but know
it, be is losing money, because he can
buy a better paint than he can mix
at less than it costs him to mix It.
Prepared paints have won, not only
on their actual merits, but on their
convenience and economy. They are
comparatively cheap, and they are in
comparably bandy. But when all is
said, the experienced painter Is the
proper person to apply even a ready
mixed paint. He knows better than
any one else the “when” and "how”
and the difference between painting
and “slathering” Is much greater than
It appears to a novice. Every one to
his trade-, and after all painting Is the
painter's trade and not the household-
•r’s.

tablespoon cold lard, two tablespoons
cold water and a pinch of salt. Chop
the lard In the flour until it is fine,
then mix with the water, using all the
flour. Turn out upon a well-floured
board, divide equally and roll out
one-half. Cover the pie pan, patting
the crust to get out the air. Fill with
whatever fruit you have, roll out the
upper crust, fold in half and cut three
short silts hear the center of the
fold, place over the pie and pat down
the edges. Trim off the rough edges
and mark around the edge with the
tines of a fork. Bake until a nice
brown. Gather up the qpraps and roll
them out again, and cut out with a
can cover about the size of a silver
dollar. Prick each piece with a fork
and bake a delicate brown. Place a
bit of jelly in the center of each
piece and you have a plate of dainty

BUTCHERY OF JEWS
By Angry Christians in Rus
sian Town of Bialvstok,
HEBREW THREW A BOMB
To Resent Action Mcb Soon Formed,
Massacreing Jewish Population,
and Burning Their Stores
and shop*—Anarchy Rife.
A Jewish anarchist threw a bomb
among the Corpus Christl procession,
which was in progress at Bialvstok,
Russia, Thursday,and killed or wound
ed many persons. In consequence,
the Christians attacked and massa
cred the Jews and demolished their
shops. Hundreds of persons were
killed or wounded. Anarchy prevails
in the city.
The bomb was thrown from the bal
cony of a house in Alexandrov street.
Immediately after the explosion,
Jews began to fire with revolvers
from the windows of the house Into
the crowd. Soldiers surrounded tho
house and fired two volleys Into the
windows. Mieunwhlle the enraged
Christians attacked the Jewish stores
In Alexandrov and guraz streets, de
molishing the fixtures and wiudowB
and throwing the goods Into the gut
ters and beating and murdering the
Jews. A crowd of Jows fled to the
railroad station, pursued by the
mob, which killed many of them
there. Three Jews wore thrown from
the second story windows of the rail
road station building.
The Jews are fleeing from Bialvs
tok to the neighboring forests and
tho mobs are pursuing them. Detach
ments of dragoons have been sent
out to protect the Jews.
The latest dispatches from Bialvs
tok, which were received iu St. Pe
tersburg about midnight, Thursday,
report a situation of the utmost grav
ity. Tue antl-Jewish outbreak thero
was still raging, fighting was In prog
ress In the streets, the firing was
continuous, the best stores In the city
had been sacked and many were dead
or wounded. Figures, however, were
not given, and probably the casualties
are not known in Bialvstok, owing bo
the continuance of disorders.
The Jews, who number three-fourths
of the population of the city, offered
tho best resistance possible, many of
them being armed, but were unable
to prevent the pillaging of their
homes and places of business. Final
ly the military interfered, but ac
cording to advices received, with
out being able to restore order. Re
inforcements have been rushed to
Bialvstok from Grodno.
'Several members of parliament on
Wednesday night redelved messages
from Jewish correspondents at Bialvs
tok, declaring that the police appar
ently had given over the Hebrew pop
ulation to slaughter and pillage. These
correspondents urged that tho only
hope was in an appeal to the minis
ter of the interior to interfere In their
behalf. A delegation of deputies Im
mediately called at the headquarters
of the police department, where they
were informed that all measures pos
sible had been taken to stop excesses
and rostore order.
