Fsuse of the American

officials are hopeful
will lead state leg-
ke up the subject and
laws.
MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the Army, Is strongly in
vails that before the dose of the
present congress an attempt will be
made by the Democrats and the In
surgent members of both parties to
force the president into some decla
ration either for or against the
proposition. Any way It Is viewed,
the situation is ticklish for the
president. An avowal for govern- , „ . . . .

ANXIOUS DAY
WAS SPENT IN

Waycross Hunters were
Surrounded by Bears
ON AN ISLAND IN THE HK VHT
OF THE SWAMP THEY BEGAN
TO FEAR THAT THEY WOULD
NOT GET OUT ALIVE.
The following story of experiences
ths wilds of the Okeflnokee
Swamp was sen*, out from Waycross
by ths correspondent of the dally
papers from that city:
’Cut off from escape by water be

never be used as a covering or as
a drapery, and Is opposed to Its be- cross hunters, just back from ths
alienate the big business interests
opposed, whose aid is looked for in
tho coming presidential campaign,
while a negligible stand or an out
and out avowal against the princi
pal would cause a further breach
between the Administration and the
radical element of the party.
While the president has thus far
refrained from expressing himself
publicly, *t is known that Mr. Hitch
cock’s recommendation has caused
him considerable embarrassment.
He feels, it Is, said, that his Cabi
net officer should have delayed until
a more favorable time, that Is, when
the political effect of the recom
mendation would have been less
likely to do Injury. At the White
House it is given out that tho pres
ident, . in his coming message to
Congress, will merely forward the
Postmaster* General’s recommenda
tion without comment.
The common practice on shipboard (lay on an island in Minnie Lake, be-
to spread the flag over the chap
lain’s table or desk during services
Is condem n*d at some quarters as
misuse of. the flag.
This calls up tho question of
Mr. Hitchcock’s future status in the
cabinet A report that he wlll^rs-
r-'siga when the affair ’ blows over/*
or shortly before the meeting of
the Chicago convention In June, la
given considerable credence here.
It lacks White House confirmation,
however. Color Is given the report
because of the understanding that
there has been friction between
the President and Mr. Hitchcock
since the meeting of the Republi
can National Committee here sev
eral weeks ago. At that time Harry
New, of Indiana, wa-* named chalr-
mnn of tue commit! o on arrange
ments, despite the vigorous protests
of Mr. Hitchcock. Then Secretary
Tillies, who is the President’s polit
ical advisor, and Mr. Hitchcock dis
agreed over the control of the
Alabama patronage. The adminis
tration sided with Hllles.
But in the face of this apparent
-upture, the President Insists that
his relations with Mr. Hitcncock
are of the friendliest character and
that his cabinet status will und r-
go no change. The President is
mindful of Mr. Hitchcock’s valuable
services, and is making plain his in
tention to concede a point to pre
serve harmony.
Senator Porter J. McCumber, of
North Dakota, is the latest public
man to jdjtn the ranks of the auto
mobile enthusiasts. Moreover, Jie
tween Floyd’s and Billie’s Islands al

“Among those on the trip were L

few Army Officers to escape the Sec
retary of fer's order sending those
•who havnj&Msn stationed In Wash

back to active duty, which meant,
“back to the saddle." MaJ. Butt,
besides being a general favorite in
Washington society, Is too useful to
the President’s social arrangements
to be spared.

"Another hunting party is being

ben, according to the story given
by one of the party, a third bear was
found. None cared to tackle the three
at once and pone cared to risk cap
sizing a canoe on a "gator." A hur
rled conference was held and a l!t-
affects a broad-brim tie maneuvering planned. A canoe
'was dragged to tho side if the f s1and
not botherd by the gators, and was
quickly followed by enough of Ihem
to leave a good opening from the
original landing place. Then with, all
members paddling as thongh a huge
prize awaited them at the end of
the lake they mode a clean get-away.
The only loss suffered was that of a
hex of cigars and the canoe, which
will he recovered by the guide on a
inter trip. The presence of so many
nlllgntors in that particular lake is a
mystery to .the hunters, as such a con
dltlon ia unusual In the awamp, al-

through all parts of the Okefenokee.
Beara are killed frequently on the
islands and in tb
swamp hut few hunters have cared to
undertake, even with several r,iina
the killing of more than one
bear at a time.
Proceeding to Billie's Island. th«*
party camped for a few days and hnd
excellent luck. Only one canoe cap
sized on the trip and about it an
nmus’ng story Is told. One member
of the party, whose name nono of

to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham *s Vegetable
Compound has helped me. For five years
I suffered from female troubles so I was
scarcely able to do my work. I took doc
tors’ medicines and used local treatments
but was not holped. I had such awful
bearing down pains and my back was so
weak 1 could hardly walk and could not
ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and I commenced to
take It By the time I had taken tho
seventh bottle my health had returned
and I began doing my washing and was a
well woman. Atone time for three weeks
I did all the work for eighteen boarders
with no signs of my old trouble return
ing. Many have taken your medicine
after seeing what it did fpr me. I would
not take $l(X0l£jJlKrwhere I was. You
