President Plans Coalition of
Congressional and Demo
cratic Nat, Committees
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. April 30.—Explana
tions about President Wilson’s inter
vention in the affairs of the Democratic
congressional committee were forth
coming today. These explanations not
only served to clear away some misap
prehensions, but further emphasized tne
fact that Mr. Wilson intends to lead
the party in all its varied activities.
The president did not ask that the
meeting ow the committee, for the pur
pose of electing a chairman, be delayed
two weeks, because he was opposed to
the selection of Representative John
son, of Kentucky, as chairman, John
son's friends thought so last night, but
they know differently today.
The sole motive of the president was
to give him time to conclude plans for
the coalition of the congressional com
mittee and the Democratic national
cornmitte. ' Instead of having thenv as
separate, independent bodies although
they have a common end, he wants to
bring them into co-ordination with each
other, in other words, he wants etfi-
ciency and economy applied in the or
ganization of the machinery for run
ning the party. For obvious reasons
the president is just as keenly inter
ested in the selection of a Democratic
house in 1914 as are the members ot
v the house, it is essential to the success
ef his administration and to bring that
about the president will take the stump
himself in the congressional election,
just as he has taken to it in Jersey
in the legislative elections.
The plans for bringing about closer
co-operation between the national com
mittee and the congressional committee
was started by the president and Rep-
resntative Lloyd, the retiring congres
sional chairman, at Sea Girt, when the
campaign started last summer.

“ARMS FOREVER,” CRIES
GERMAN CROWN PRINCE
BERLIN, April 30.—Crown Prince
Frederick William in writing the pref
ace to a book on “Germany in Arms,”
published today of which he is reputed
to be the author exhibits himself, the
futur e German emperor, as an unbe
liever in the possibility of ever abol
ishing war.
He declares that diplomacy may de
lay and occasionally avert conflicts,
but .“the* sword will remain the final
and’ decisive factor ’ until the world’s
end.”
In another passage he says:
“Only with th e support of our good
sword can we maintain that place in
the sun which is due to us but which
is not willingly accorded to us.”
The author points out Germany’s un
fortunate geographical position and
warns his countrymen that the German
army and nav> must be kept continu
ously at the highest point of efficien
cy. He says that increasing commer
cialism and the desire for riches threat
en to destroy the old ideals, “since for
the undisturbed earning of money one
needs peac e at any price. History
shows that the nations in which com
mercial interests have decided-their pol
icy have ended ingloriously.”
He appeals to all Germans to be
ready to sacrifice their blood and their
possessions and continues:
“Then the world .nay be full of dev
ils arrayed In arms against us, but we
shall conquer.”
TOBACCO AT WHOLESALE
CHEAPER THAN IN 1910
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 30.—Competi
tion is no stranger to foreign govern
ments buying American tobacco, accord
ing to W. G. Dunington, buyer for the
Italian government, who testified today
before the joint congressional tobacco
committee. Until about three years ago
Mr. Dunington was also a buyer for the
Austrian government.
Tobacco is cheaper now on ware
house floors than it was three years
*ago, Mr. Dunington said, but he was
unable to give any explanation for the
decrease in price. He expressed the
opinion that the character of the crops
did not account for it.
Mr. Dunington declared the Italian
government was willing to meet com
petition and expressed the belief that
bad it not been for the competition of
the Italian government the Kentucky
growers would not be able to conduct a
profitable business.

Elliott City and Anchora Cov
ered With Water-Lottie Will
Be Swamped by Wednesday
(By Associated Press.)
MELVILLE. La.. April 29.—Flood
waters from the Klotzspring crevasse in
the main line of the Atachafalaya river
levee are rapidly spreading over the
southwestern part of the Pointe Coupe
parish and inundating a number of
towns and villages.
At Elliott City, a sawmill town, on
the Texas and Pacific railroad, water
has covered the place ranging in depths
from two to six feet.
When the lumber plants were forced
to suspend operations, all employes were
sent to the levees to assist in fighting
the flood. Anchora, another town with
several lumber plants, is partially over
flowed.
Water has reached the outskirts of
Lottie, one of the largest towns in the
path of the flood, and within forty-
eight hours all of that town is expected
to be inundated. Government engineers
have leased a number of boats for re
lief work in the Atachafalaya district.
Mississippi Falls as
Levee Gives Away
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, April 29.—For the
first time since the present high water
entered the Mississippi river all points
along the stream from St Louis to
New Orleans today recorded lower
stages than for the previous twenty-
four hours. t
This relief, however, is only tempor
ary for points from Natchez south, as
the return of the water row pouring
through the several breaks in the levees
of the great stream will cause another
climb of the gauges within the next
few days.
The gauge at Vicksburg, which yes
terday recorded one foot above the high
wat^r mark of last year, today regis
tered a fall of two-tenths of a foot.
Natchez, with a stage of 51 feet, show
ed, the greatest decline in the lower
river readings with a drop of four-
tenths. Maximum stages for Baton
Rouge and points south as previous
forecast show.

Highest Price in December
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 30—During the
latter part of 1912 the cost of living
in the United States was higher than
at any other time during the past
twenty-three years. The bureau of la

Severe Earthquake
Shock Is Felt in
Northern New York
(By Associated Press.)
WATERTOWN. N. Y., April 30.—The
earthquake shock felt throughout north
ern New York and lower Canada on
Monday night was the most severe in
this region since the Champlain earth
quake of 1663, acording to George Hal-
pert Chadwick, professor of geology at
St. Lawrence university, who declares
that the disturbance “may possibly be
the forerunner of a much more serious
and disastrous shock.”
Prof. Chadwick said that he believed
Monday night’s earthquake was due to
“an actual slipping of the earth’s crust
along the great crack known as Logan’s
line which extends from the St. Law
rence valley to Alabama.”
“There is no question,” said the ge
ologist. “that we are entering upon a
period of great seismographic disturb
ances. As far as our records go there
have been no earthquakes here so se
vere as the one Monday night for nearly
three centuries’’
Earthquake Shock is
Recorded-at Washington
WASHINGTON, April 30.—An earth
quake was recorded on the seismo
graph at Georgetown university early
today, the main displacement being east
and' west, the disturbance appearing
to be outside the 5,000-mile zone from
Washington. The record of the dis
turbance began at 6:51 a. m., and con
tinued until after 8 o’clock, the inten
sity being moderate.

JERSEY’S FULL CREW
LAW GOES INTO EFFECT
(By Associated Press.)
NEWARK, N. J. May 1.—The so-called
full crew bill which was opposed so
bitterly by the railroads, went into ef
fect throughout the state today. The
law provides that crews of freight trains
of less than thirty cars shall consist of
five men and of more than thirty cars,
six men.
On passenger trains of not more than
three cars the crew must consist of five
men and on four or more cars, of six
men.
All the railroads affected are planning
to join in concerted action to test the
constitutionality of the law, probably
by invited prosecution under the penalty
imposed $100 fine for its violation.
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—The
opponents of Colonel William J. Harris,
of Georgia, for director of the census,
received a hard jolt this morning when
the senate census committee adopted a
report recommending Mr. Harris’ speedy
confirmation.
Only one vote was cast against the
favorable report. Senator Townsend, of
Michigan, who has headed an unsuccess
ful movement to hold up all Democrats,
voted- against Mr. Harris, and will file
a minority report, in order to delay the
final action in the senate.
The Georgia senators have made a
hard and consistent fight for the con
firmation of Mr. Harris. The favorable
action of the senate committee this
morning speaks volumes for the influ
ence of the Georgians, neither of whom
is a member of the census committee.
The favorable report is a distinct gain
for Mr. Harris, and while it does not
follow that he will be confirmed at
once, the opponents of Mr. Harris con
tend that the action of the committee
will prove a tremendous advantage.
It will bring the nomination squarely
before the senate for the first time.
The opposition to Mr. Harris, as has
been explained in these dispatches, in
nowise reflects upon the personality or
capacity of the Georgian. Friends of
E. Dana Durand, the incumbent, started
the movement to delay the Harris con
firmation, in order to prolong Durand’s
tenure of office and enable him to “com
plete’ the thirteenth census, which was
taken under his direction.

NEW YORK, April 29.—Four former
police inspectors, charged indirectly
with conspiracy to obstruct justice, pre
pared to face District Attorney Whit
man today at the opening of the most^
important police trial here since the
Becker case.
The defendants—Dennis Sweeney,
James E. Hussey, James F. Thompson
and John J. Murtha—were all indicted
recently after the district attorney’s
office had uncovered a system of cor
ruption connected with disorderly hotels.
The men are charged with conspiring
to keep out of the state George A. Sipp,
a hotel keeper, whose confession to pay
ing blackmail money to the police forms
the basis of the prosecution.
Two men—Hartigafi and Robinson—
who were policemen attached to Sween

to prison refusing to “squeal.”

tles between police, soldiers, deputies
and strikers.
Six strikers were arrested, three ot
them women. T^e latter fought with
all the weapons of their sex and were
taken to police headquarters, biting,
scratching and kicking.
Among the men arrested was the
strike leader, Gaetano Termini. He had
made a socialist speech denouncing the
police, the militia and the capitalists.
Sheriff Drake and Deputy Sheriff
Teeter were attacked by fifty women
as they were escorting girl employes
who wanted to go to work and after
a stone throwing battle they arested
the women who led the attack.

ers grew this morning and by nine
o’clock 150 had entered the mills.
BIG POTATO SHIPMENT
MADE BY FARMER
(Special Di^i*itch to The Journal.)
COLMUBUS, Ga., April 30.—That
Georgia farmers are raising something

pounds, from his plantation in Adel,
Ga.. disposing of the entire lot at 75
cents* per bushel.

Several boats filled with armed men
dressed as sailors clambored on board,
the cruiser at 2 o’clock in the morning
and demanded that the prisoners be
handed over to them. At the same mo
ment three shots were fired from the
guns on the cruiser so that it appeared
as though the affair was being carried
out with the connivance of the officers
and crew.
The prisoners were then given up by
their guards and landed before the naval
authorities in the harbor understood
what was going on. They had dis
appeared before any action could be
taken against them.
The firing from the cruiser caused
great alarm in the capital, many people
assuming that a fresh revolution had
broken out.
The monarchist papers, Dia and Na-
cao, and a Socialist journal have been
suspended by the civil government in
spite of their protests that they had
not violated the press law.
Martial law has not yet been pro

FARMER SWINDLED
OUT OF $5,000
(By Associated Press.)
DALLAS, Texas, April 29.—Two
strangers, posing as wealthy French
men, last night swindled A. E. Schep-
ler, a farmer, living at Farmersville,
near Dallas, out of $5,000 and made
their escape. Police of Dallas, Fort
Worth and other cities have been noti
fied to be on the lookout for the pair.
According 'to Schepler the strangers
several days ago began negotiations
for him to take care of a “seven-year-
old niece” of the two for which they
would deposit $10,000 to Schepler’s cred
it at the Farmersville bank. They de
manded, however, that Schepler show
his ability to carry out his bargain by
producing $5,000 cash.
Yesterday the farmer drew his $5,000
from the Farmersville bank to take it
home. The bank officials suspected he
was in danger of losing the money £,nd
notified the sheriff’s forces at Farmers
ville. The latter, however, arrived at
Schepler’s hoipe too late, the strang
ers having departed with the money
which they secured by switching pack
ages ond Schepler.

ENGLAND IS PRESSING
GUATEMALA FOR DEBT
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 29.—Great
Britain again is pressing Guatemala
for satisfaction of the long standing
claims of British subjects. The at
tention of the state department has been
directed to the situation by the Guate
malan minister here and the outcome is
expected to develop in some measure
an indication of the administration’s
policy toward Central America repub
lics and their foreign debts.
A loan of $20,000,000 to $30,000,000
by American banking houses has been
uiider way for some time; but never
consummated. With its proceeds it was

a negro serving a life sentence for
murder in Johnson county.
On the application Governor Elrown
wrote th e following words:
“Am unable to approve clemency.
This seems to have been an unjustifia
ble killing. The only reason urged for
releasing the man from the penitentiary
is his ill health. If pardons were
''ased solely on this plea, practically all
convicts would soon be in the hospitals.
The state does not guarantee good
health to those immured for crime. All
persons out of th e penitentiary occa

CANARY BIRDS SAVE
WOMN FROM DEATH
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 30.—Saved from
death by two canary birds, the lives of
which were sacrificed, Mrs. William P.
Martin, eighty-three years old, the wife
of a retired business man, is recovering
today in a local hospital from the effects
of gas poisoning. Fumes which escaped
from a small gas heater in her home
last night nearly proved fatal.
The aged woman’s husband entered
the room in which apparently she was
dozing in a chair and noticing that his
wife’s pet canaries were showing no
signs of life, examined the cage. Both
were dead.
Turning to his wife, he addressed a
remark to her and receiving no response,
made a hasty examination. It was then
he discovered the presence of the escap
ing gas. Shutting olt the flow, Mr. Mar
tin hastily summoned a physician, who
ordered the unconscious woman removed
to a hospital.
U. S. WANTS TEACHERS
OF AGRICULTURE
WASHINGTON, April 30.—The United
States bureau of education today issued
an appeal for agricultural teachers in
high schools. The bureau incidentally
pointed out that while the salaries of
the majority of male teachers In the
high schools average only $700 the
teachers of agriculture were receiving
$1,200.
“Lack of teachers” is the explanation
offered by the bureau as the cause
for the higher, remuneration for those
who teach agriculture.
“Not only is it found that the aver
age pay of instructors in agriculture
is higher than of other teachers,” says
the bureau, “but that teachers who are
able to give such instruction in addi
tion to regular work command better
salaries than they otherwise would and
are more likely to be advanced to prin-
cipalships than if they had not spe
cialized in agriculture.”

MRS. BENNETT
SAYS “PUBLISH”
Thinks Her Letter Made Pub
lic, Might Result in Some
Good. All Ladies Should
Read
Henderson, Tex.—In a letter from
this place, Mrs. T. V. Bennett says:
“Last November I was taken very sick,
and had two doctors. They doctored me
for most everything: that could be
thought of, and at last they told me It
would be necessary to have an opera
tion. I couldn’t give in to this, although
I was suffering great pain.
Finally. I decided to try Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, and I hadn’t used it but
a short time before I was up, feeling
good, and able to do my work.
I am still getting alpng fine, and can
recommend Cardui, the woman’s tonic,
to all suffering women. I shall always
praise this great medicine.
If you think my experience would be
of any benefit to any suffering woman,
you are at liberty to publish it.”
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, Is strictly
a woman’s medicine, made up of pure,
harmless, vegetable ingredionts which
act directly on the womanly constitu
tion.
It stimulates the weakened organs,
and helps build them up to health and
strength.
. We recei.e numerous letters, every
day, similar to the one above. If it has
benefited so many thousands of other
women, why shouldn’t it do the same
for you?
Give Cardui a trial.
