8 I DEHIOCMTS ■« I OVER THEIR DELEGATES Supporters of Speaker Clark and ex-Govemor Folk Have Clash in Missouri By Associated Press.) ST. LOUIS. Dec. 2».—United States Senator Stone, of Missouri. aroused much interest among politicians on his arrival here this week by giving out a statement containing hia seven rea sons why Speaker Champ Clark should be the Democratic nominee for the presidency. Today Democratic leaders are out with statements assailing Mr. Stone foi hia course, and a fight for the state dMegaoon to the Democratic national convention is going on openly in St. Louis. The fight arises from the fact that Hw the Democratic nominees' convention in » !»!•, of which Speaker Clerk was chair- man. indorsed Joseph W. Folk, former F governor, as Missouri’s choice for the presidency. For some time, friends of Folk, in the name of the Missouri < Democratic league have maintaineo headquarters to promote his claim for the presidency. Recently friends of the speaker opened headquarters for him. Neither Clark nor Folk has hau anything to say about their candidacies, -but their friends have carried on a war of words and the contest became warm with the presence of both Clark and Stone here this week. The speaker did not call on Folk and Folk did not visit him. Stone came two Jays ago and has spent much time at the Clark headquarters and has given a statement to the news jh pepers containing his reasons for pro rooting the Clark candidacy. Judge W. N. Evans, of West Plains. < former Democratic t state chairman, gave a statement today deploring Stone's course and declaring leaders in Washington no longer could issue or ders to the people of the state. The speaker's friends take the ground that the state convention indorsement of Folk is not binding and that the voters in the end should decide who is the choice of Missouri Democrats, but no definite steps have been made to ward a primary Champ Clark Not Seen OKLAHOMA CITY.

WASHINGTON, Jan.

The prin cipaJ causes of/Ke Increased deficit were, a falling ofT/of probably $10,000,000 In customs r«aeipts and an increase of in the cost of the navy last half year, as compared same period in 1910. Approxi mately $152,000,000 were received from receipts during the last six •ifenths, while at the close of Decem ber last year this source of revenue had yielded $162,000,000. The navy has cost about $70,000,000 up to date this year. The disbursements during the first half of the last fiscal year were $63,000,000. The month of December made a par ticularly poor showing, its deficit being $2,000,000, while the deficit for November was only $460,000. December’s receipts amounted to approximately $52,000,000. The general fund today amounts to approximately $127,000,000, including about $70,000,000 actually in the treasury’s cash drawer. A year ago the general fund was $89,000,000 and the working bal ance $37,000,000. The amount of gold today In posses sion of the United States, the greatest gold holding nation in the world, was approximately $1,182,000,000 in coin and bullion, distributed among the reserve, trust and general funds of The treasury.

The total cost of the waterway is estimat ed at $375,200,000. During the six months just closed $18,000,000 was spent on the ditch, as compared with $20,000,000 during the same period last year. SIR FRANCIS BACON WAS DESIGNERJ)FjAEROPLANE? Dr. Owen Thinks Bacon Was Author Shakespeare Plays and Inventor DETROIT, Jan. I.—Following closely on the announcement by Dr. Orville W. Owen that his researches in England for proof that Francis Bacon wrote the plays of William Shakespeare, are fast nearing completition, comes the admission of the doctor that Sir Francis is the inventor, or at least the designer, of an air ship. "We haven’t discovered the air ship,” says the doctor, "but we have found de scription of one in our excavations in the River Wye, tvhich are undoubtedly the work of the man whom we are certain is the author of the plays attributed to Shakespeare. And he, of is Sir Francis Bacon.” "When do you intend to make these plans or descriptions public?” the doc tor was asked. "Only when we find them In their en tirety. Our real mission is to find the plays and the conclusive evidence of their authorship. When we have done that we may turn to the other matter.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 30.-From the same platform in Music hall from which President Taft delivered his opening ad dress in the campaign for the presi dency in 1907, Senator LaFollette tonight spoke to a large audience of Cincin/ natlans. J It probably was the most trying ordeal of Mr. LaFollette’s trip through Ohio, inasmuch as his voice, made husky, by his strenuous journey thus far, did’" not carry to walls of the immense /audi torium and as a consequence he re peatedly interrupted by cri/es of “Louder.” J As at Dayton last night, Wiscon sin senator's necktie and colls/r botharetl him early and it was only ,a few mo ments after he began speaking that he removed these troublesome articles. Senator LaFollette wei/t after tha trusts, declaring that the-, courts have carefully protected investors in trusts against the loss of values. The only instance where the extreme penalty of three fold damages has been imposed is in the case of labfjr organizations. Mr. LaFollette tjtien told how the court has gone to tjie extent of seizing upon the savings o J £ members of a la bor Organization aind had ordered that these little investilnents should be paid over, as far as tuey go, j toward giving the employers t iree times their dam ages that the'Xmion has caused them. The people haA just as much interest in having a h/gh standard of living for labor as they! are in having low cost oi living Ln thefr purchasing commodities. A law whicih treats investors as inno cent as the 1 / form a trust and guilty if they fo|in a labor union does not command | he respect nor appeal to the sense of justice of the American peo ple- / “One eit the most serious restraints of tradff is found in the patent laws.

They are not to be given something that perpetuates and monopolizes under the plea of making business safe. “The kind of legislation here pro posed is not an experiment. It has been tried out in Wisconsin fbr six years in the regulation of railroads and pub lic utilities.” Mr. LaFollette again made a plea for woman suffrage and was enthusi astically applauded. He referred to Senator Aldrich and said Aldrich had only $50,600 when he went into the senate but he quit with $50,000,000. MRS. CARL BRITTON IS HEAD OF PHI MU GAMMA Sorority in Convention at New Orleans Pays Honor to Atlanta Woman NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-The con vention of the t’hi Mu Gamma society which has been in session here for three days, adjourned after selecting Old Point Comfort, Va., as next year's meet ing place.

DEPUTY IS HELD U?, HIS PRISONER RELEASED VALDOSTA, Ga., Jan. I.—Deputy War den Brownie, of the Berrian county con vict camps, reported today that he was held up on an Atlantic Coast Line train last night' by two armed negroes, and a prisoner he had, was released. He says all three negroes jumped from the train and fled In Suwanooche swamp. The prisoner wq,s a negro named Eugene Ne tune, who escaped from Berrien county and was caught at Waycross. Between Dupont and Stockton, the dep uty says, two negroes covered him ■with guns and ordered the negro priso ner to get out, all three negroes jump ing from the train. Brownie drew his pistol but could not use it as the negroes were between 'him and the white coach, and he was afraid of killing an innocent bystander. TWO ARE KILLED BY TRAINS IN NASHVILLE NASHVILLE. Tenn., Jan. I.—Two persons were killed in Nashville Sun day at the same place, but at different times. Mary Wright, aged 15, was struck by a passenger train on the Louisville and Nashville railroad about 3 o’clock, and a few hours later, A. G. Langham, a wall paper dealer, who had gone out to the scene of the accident, was killed by a freight train. \ •. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Oki Kind YouJlava Always Bought LAUNDRY EMPLOYES MAY SOON DECLARE STRIKE NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-A strike of steam laundry employes is promised as the first serious labor trouble of the year •1912 in New York city. In the last hours of the old year the executive commit mittee of the Laundry Workers’ Interna tional union stealthily met and promul gated a strike order that may within a few days make clean linen a curiosity in the metropolis. The order directs sev eral thousand workers to cease work at once. Twelve big steam laundries, each serv ing from 50 to 150 “hand laundries,” and thereby ministering to about 400,000 indi viduals, are affected by the strike. Chief Fincher Retires DALTON, Ga., Jan.

The young interne, Expenses of federal agents AMOUNT TO MILLIONS ANNUALLY , (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. I.—Ex ecutive documents that dribble along in the holiday mall of the speaker of the house, show where great sums of government money go with every pass ing year. Legislators, who were reai solons in their day and have long since passed the way of all legislative solons. preached and practiced the doctrine of publicity, now supposed to be a modern thought. By enactments, which, first and last, numbered scores, if not hun dreds, they imposed upon the depart ments the necessity of making transac tions public. That is why the executive documents, covering a wide range of expenditure, come in the speaker’s mail at this time of year and eventually are published. But these reports are chiefly tabula tions and column s of figures. Os course, up-to-date people, as a rule, pay little heed t o such kn output. They are too busy to scan and analyze. Who car?s that SIOO were paid to a civilian engi neer to make a survey of Podunk with a view to its improvement when an appropriation from congress could be obtained? Who cares that the trav eling expenses of Special Agent Bill Jones, investigating land frauds on the public domain, amounted to $987 with in a few months? But most of these comparatively small expenses, which run into millions annually, are all reported in detail ».o congress. It would not be correct to sa ythST the expenditures are im proper. Very many of them can not be avoided, if the government is to be run efficiently. And yet the fact re mains that there probably could be much curtailment without-impairing ef ficiency in the public service. Travel bills, for instance have in creased and multiplied during • the last decade. 14 has become an attraction of office holding at Washington, that one has the opportunity of seeing the world without expense, as enlistment posters for the army and navy allur ingly announce. The bureau chief, who can not get in a pleasant trip or two every year to some distant part of the country, is rather slow. He is looked down upon by his more enterprising colleagues. MANY “ON THE WING.” There are literally hundreds of “gov ernment men,” as they are often call ed out in the states, who are “on the nearly all of the year. They have a great variety of missions. Some are connected with the score and more of commissions and others are special agents, inspectors and the like. ZU, of course, are within the law. Other wise they could not draw their expense money. Primarily, congress is as mucn to blame as heads of departments, if there are abuses. The comptroller of the currency, a stern official, must ap prove of every item as coming within the law. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has just reported Ulft" BXEtimlitwa for travel” in his department for the year amounted t o $197,509.85. That is only one of the nine departments. Some spent much less for travel and some spent a vast deal more. But the de partment of agriculture serves as a fair example. There were 76 different ac counts and some accounts carried t ex penses for a number of men. The travel incident titt congressional seed distribu tion cost that incident to the management of national forests (chief ly in the west) aggregated $12,279. The bureau of entomology spent $34 on travel In connection with investigations and the destruction of deciduous fruit insects: $552 for travel that had to do with “miscellaneous insects” ano $230 on travel that concerned prevention of *the spread of moths. “Protection and removal of elk in Wyoming” cost $643.70 in travel ex penditure. For travel on account of “fruit diseases" the disbursing officers paid out $3,343; travel on account of meat inspection cost almost an equal sum —s 3,763. Travel that had a bear ing upon “food habits of birds and mammals” amounted to $5,373.90. T!ie bureau of statistics . had a travel ex pense of $2,106 for special investiga tions. The office of public roads, in the de partment of agriuclture, maintains a lot of official traveling. The travel on ac count of road management amounted to $3,716; for Investigating road building and maintenance, $9,679 and travel in securing road material cost $3,460 more. The weather bureau prophets traveled during the year at a cost of $2,796. These men journeyed to deliver addresses on weath er bureau work, to inspect river districts, to consult about flood warnings, to Install apraratus and conduct solar /radiation in vestigations.' to inspect lithographic stones, storage batteries and examine In strument exposures, not to mention a great number of other errands. JOURNEYS FAR AND WIDE. Agents and officials of the bureau of plant Industry journeyed far and wide. An assistant agriculturist, for example, went on a trip into the south “to inves tigate tillage problems, weed eradication, and other phases of farming” at an ex pense of SB2 for travel. He went to Bev erly, Mass., and Auburn, Me., on a sim ilar errand at a travel cost of ssl. A rice expert went to Texas, Oklahoma and oth er points to study and conduct experi mental work on “rotten neck” disease of rice, for which the travel bills were $520. A bionomist in charge of crop acclima tization journeyed even to Jerusalem, Jaffa, Palestine, Cairo, Gizeh, Tanta, Zagazig, Monsurah. Fayicum, Assuit. and other points in Assyria and Egypt to in-; vestigate and secure varieties of Egyptian and other varieties of cotton, wild wheat ECZEMA Also Called Tetter, Salt Rheum, Pruritus, Milk- Crust, Weeping Skin, etc. ECZEMA CAN-* BE CURED TO STAY, and when 1 say I mean just what I aay— C-U-R-E-D, and not merely patched up for awhile, to return worse than before.

Just try it and you will see 1 am telling voo the truth. Dr. J. E. Cannady. 597 Park Square, Sedalia. Mo. References; Third National Bank. Sedalia, Mo. Could you do a better act than to send thia notice to somd jjoor sufferer ot Eczema 1 passing through the ward, stopped to look at the little one when he me chanically placed his hand over the child’s heart. He was startled, for he noticed a throb of the heart. Then r.p plylng the stethoscope the faint action of that organ grew more pronounced Lifting the infant from its cramoed quarters in the basket, he called a nurse and placed the baby in bed. Pressing his own lips to those of the baby, he breath ed into its mouth, exhaling and inhaling naturally. After an hour's work his .f --forts at resuscitation proved successful, for the little one let out its first yell. and other crop plants, at a cost of $249.60, which apparently was a very econoftiical journey. This, however, is only one of many items In the very comprehensive work of the department to bring new and valuable plants to the United States from all parts of the known world. DR. WILEY’S WORK. Dr. H._ W. Wiley’s bureau of chemistry employs many travelers, whose expense accounts are large In the aggregate. They go to all parts of the country "in con nection with the enforcement of the food and drugs act.” One expert had $290 worth of travel "investigating the chem ical composition of cider vinegar and studying the chemical changes taking place in cider treated in the quick process generators.” Another expert traveled to Norfolk, Va., at a cost of $12.65 to confer "with peanut dealers and manufacturers regarding the proper handling, coating and treatment of peanuts.” Probably all this activity in the de partment of agriculture is of as much direct benefit to the people at large as any of the traveling that Is done every annum from Washington. It used to be said that the states could do these things quite as well, or better, for themselves but less and less is heard nowadays on that score. The scientists of the depart ment of agriculture are, for the most part, very wise and very efficient and un doubtedly are performing a great serv ice for modern civilization. POSTAL OFFICIALS. Postal officials travel more probably, than those of any other department of the government, except it be the army I and navy. That, however, is a service very near the people. As the postoffice department is well nigh self-supporting now, according to the method of book ■ keeping followed by its accountants, these postal journeys are paid for out of the proceeds of postage stamp sales. The war department has the great trav el of all the government. Officers and enlisted men must be transported long distances and by the thousands and tens of thousands. There is a smaller, but none the less fat travel account for the navy. interior department, admin istering great affairs and enterprises in the west, likewise spends big sums upon Its travelers. The government has become a mam moth business enteA-prise. There must be Washington men, from time 1© time, up on thei ground. Inspection alone costs millions of dollars. 1911 WAS PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR EDUCATION WASHINGTON,'Jan.

I.—Every year the battle practice iq the American navy more closely approximates the condi tion of actual warfare. In the spring practice of the Atlantic fleet this year the idea of ridding a ship as far as pos sible of combustible materials and wood work that might cause splinters in ac tion is to be carried out so far that the officers and men of some of the vessels may even sleep “on the soft side of a plank.” The plans contemplate the removal of all wooden boats, the bunks and the wooden furniture. Not even the mess tables will be left, and the bluejackets will have to eat their meals squatting tailor-fashion on deck. WHITFIELD COURT HAS BUSY SESSION DALTON, Ga., Jan.
