MIL STRIKE HNS
BEEN POSTPONED
OILSMJIIEST
DETROIT, Feb. 14. —The strike of
300,000 inembers of the brotherhood
of maintenance of way employes
and railway shop laborers, set for
next Tuesday, was tonight in
definitely postponed by A. E. Barker,
international president of the union,
in accordance with the request of
President Wilson that action be de
layed until after the general confer
ence of railway union committeemen
on February 23.
Mr. Barker’s decision to delay the
strike, he announced, was taken on
recommendation of the executive
committee now in "Washington, to
whom it appeared, he said, that late
developments in the railroad wage
controversy tended to place the
maintenance of way union in a po
sition apart from the other unions
and “seemingly forgetful of public
interest.” He maintained, however,
that immediate relief must be had
and that a strike as planned would
have been fully justified.
Order Goes Out
The telegram to the membership
postponing the strike was sent out
tonight to the approximately 6,000
local secretaries of the brotherhood.
In it President Barker briefly re
views events leading up to the is
suance of the strike order and the
sending,of the executive committee
to Washington. This committee,
the telegram said, after consulting
with high officials, “who are true
friends of the railway workers,"
unanimously recommended that ac
tion be postponed.
Any action contrary to the rec
ommendations of the committee,
Mr. Barker added, would be placing
his own above the judgment of the
committee, which he said “had
guarded the interests” of the work
ers in "Washington.
“In consideration of these facts,”
the telegram said in conclusion,
“the strike is hereby postponed.”
A special committee, Mr. Barker
said, might be called to deal with
the wage controversy. He was not
prepared to say whether the execu
tive committee would join the other
railway brotherhoods in the Wash
ington conference.
40 Per Cent Increase Asked
The strike order was issued last
May, after failure of union repre
sentatives to .reach an agreement
with the railroad administration in
wage negotiations began last sum
mer. The union membership au
thorized a strike in August and it
was originally set for November 1,
but postponed when President Wil
son asked for time in which to
bring into force measures designed
by the government to reduce the
cost of living.
After waiting two months, the
union again renewed its pressure for
wage increases, and a week ago the
executive committee voted to go
ahead with the strike, which was to
have included track repairmen, rail
way mechanics, hostlers, crossing
tenders and shop laborers on all rail
ways in the country.
The men had demanded increases
amounting to approximately 40 per
cent, the greater increase to go to
the lower-paid workers.

Catches Wild Goose From
Air During Fog and Storm
SACRAMENTO, Cal.—Leo Islip
pulled a wild goose out of the log
in his back yard. At 6:00 a. m. Is
lip went into his back yard and in
the thick fog noticed something fly
ing about. It flew past his head a
couple of times, and upon hearing a
flock of geese higher in the air call
ing loudly he realized the bird must
be a goose.
About the third time the goose
flew by him Islip made a one hand
stab and grabbed the bird around
the neck. He rushed into the house
with his prize and then went back
into the yard and waitted for more,
but without success. The goose cap
tured was a large one and had ap
parently become bewildered in the
fog.

SEATTLE, Wash. —Two children

other children and the five senses,
and still, after ten years in the
world, are unable to speak a single
word of any civilized tongue.
Herbert Koss and his brother, El

an aged hermit of Green. River, less
than one hundred miles from Seat

neither of the boys could so much

The children, say the physicians
and nurses who have examined and
tested and studied them, simply
have never been taught to speak.
Their hearing is good, their vocal
cords are ' normal, and Dr. D. A.
Nicholson, expert on mental condi

brains of normal size and of ordi

DEMOCRAT WHO
FAVORS LEAGUE
WINS IN MISSOURI
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., Feb.
14. —The election of Capt. J. L. Milli
gan, Democrat candidate and League
of Nations advocate, over John E.
Frost, Republican and league op
ponent, for representative in con
gress for the Third district, was
Conceded at 9:30 o’clock by W. L.
Coles, chairman of the Republican
state committee.
Captain Milligan’s majority, Chair
man Cole said, will be between 1,700
and 1,800.
The election was to choose a suc
cessor in congress to Secretary of
Commerce Joshua > Alexander, and
the League of Nations was the dom
inant issue in the campaign.
The Democrats assert that Milli
gan’s majority will be at least 2,-
000. In 1918 Alexander carried the
district by a majority of 1,793 over
Frost.
Unofficial figures given tonight by
Democratic and Republican head
quarters here with a slight excep
tion, are identical and show that
Milligan carried four counties, Clay,
Ray, Worth and Clinton, and that
Frost carried three, Davies, Cald
well and DeKalb.
The unofficial figures from the
other three counties of the dis
trict, Harrison, Mercer and Gentry,
still were incomplete, but it was
said at Democratic headquarters
that they were conceded to Frost.
Farmer Found His Stolen
Hay by Sense of Smell
CHICAGO, Hl.—“They stole my
hay the other day,” said Farmer Jo
seph Chobot. “They robbed my barn,
yes. I’ll be darn. I s’pose it was

Tom Comerford, the sleuth, just
roared and said “Hoboes don’t eat
hay. Some neighbor’s steed feasts
on your feed. Suppose you lead the
way.”
“I can tell it If I smell it,” said
the farmer with a sniff. “For it has
a certain flavor, smell, aroma, odor,
savor—all 1 need is a single, solitary
wl iff.”
So through Tessville farms they
went, always hoping for the scent,
and they got it at the farm of Gus

is said to be deaf and dumb. The
mother died some years ago. The
family lives some miles from Baldi,
a logging town in the Green River
valley, and the Koss hut lies across
Green River. It is accessible only
by a basket swung across the tur
bulent river on a cable.
Three years ago Burrows first
learned of the children, but though
occasionally the father would come
across the river and talk of them.
Mr. Burrows never was permitted
to visit the house, and believed the
children were deaf and dumb. Un
able to find a place for them in any
public or private institution, Mr.
Burrows finally gave up an attempt
to investigate their condition.
Recently it became known to him
that the children were normal, and
then under the law that permits the
county to assume authority for the
aid of neglected children, he caused
them 'to be taken from the father
and brought to Seattle. Following
examination at the school clinic by
Dr. Ira C. Brown, the children were
sent to the Orthopedic hospital and
will remain there under care and in
struction until some means of final
disposition has been found.
WEST POINT SPIRIT
ALIVE ANDKICKING;
PLAN WAREHOUSE
WEST POINT, Ga., Feb. 14.—The
ravages of the Chattahoochee river
have not dampened the West Point
spirit, as was evidenced most em
phatically at a meeting held in the
office of George H. Lanier, in which
the business men of the city par
ticipated. The meeting was presided
over by W. C. Lanier, with G. S.
Cobb as secretary. It was defiite
ly decided to build a $150,000 union
bonded warehouse. The building
will be of re-inforced concrete, with
automatic sprinkler system and all
the most modern conveniences for
handling the fleecy staple. The
warehouse will be above high water
mark, insuring the patrons protec
tion from flood as well as from fire.
The enthusiasm manifested was evi
denced by more than a third of the
amount being voluntarily subscribed
before the books were opened for
subscription. Committees were
named to secure a desirable loca
tion, and to give the people an op
portunity to subscribe for. stock.
The business men of West Point are
determined that this city shall re
tain the splendid record it has en
joyed for more than a score of
years as one of the very best cotton
markets in the south.
The success enjoyed last year by
the Chattahoochee Baseball league,
■jnsisting of six clubs, embracing
West Point, Lanett, Shawmut, Fair
fax, Langdale and Riverview, as
sures the residents of the six cities
another season of baseball. A meet
ing will be held in the very near
future for re-organization and the
election of officers for the season >of
1920.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.—1 t de
veloped here tonight that Secretary
Lansing wants to issue as soon as
possible a statement giving the “in
side story” of his differences with
the president, revealing his tribula
tions as secretary of state, and re
viewing the president’s attitude to
ward hi-m. both during and after the
Paris peace conference.
Certain friends of Mr. Lansing are
said to be attempting to dissuade
him from this course and are ad
vising him to let the controversy
drop. They are arguing that future
agitation will do no real good. Al
though tempted, probably through
personal pride, to go through with
his plan, Mr. Lansing has reached
no definite decision. He may yet
be persuaded to remain silent.
It now seems fairly well settled
that there will be no congressional
inquiry into the Lansing-Wilson
differences.
In urging Mr. Lansing not to
make further rejoinder to the presi
dent, one or two close friends are
understood to have argued that he
should maintain a dignified silence,
that no result will come through
prolonging the controversy, and
finally that, after all, Mr, Lansing
is indebted to the president for sig
nal honors in the past and their
personal relations are still recorded
as cordial.
Under Secretary Jolk, John W.
Davis, ambassador to Great Britain,
and Hugh C. Wallace, ambassador to
France, are foremost among those
being discussed to head the state de
partment as successor to former Sec
retary Lansing, who announced his
resignation after a dramatic clash
with President "Wilson.
Although it is Known Mr. Polk
had determined to return to private
life and practice law, some friends
of the administration were hope
ful he might be induced to serve
out the unexpired term of his for
mer chief.
The Lansing resignation furnish
ed official Washington with a sen
sational unparalleled since Wil
liam J. Bryan departed from office.
The statement of Secretary Lane,
who is leaving the cabinet March
1. that v he felt an equal responsi
bility with Mr. Lansing for hold
ing the cabinet meetings to which
President Wilson objected, seemed
to add possibilities of further cab
inet resignations for a time, but
this was disposed of by a state
ment at the White House tha*
there were to be no further retire
ments as a result of the incident.
Other cabinet members uniformly
declined to discuss either the Lansing
resignation or Secretary Lane’s gen
erous offer to blame himself as much
as the secretary of state.
Man Who Executed
Assassins of Lincoln
Dead in Michigan
JACKSON, Mich.. Feb. 14.—Lieu
tenant Cotonel Christian Rath, vet
eran of the Civil war and executioner
of the conspirators involved in the
assassination of Lincoln, died here to
day. He was born in Freidenstadt,
Germany. At the beginning of the
Civil war he enlisted as a private
in the Seventeenth Michigan infan
try. In 1865 he was commissioned
lieutenant -colonel by President An
drew Johnson for “especial and effi
cient services during the confinement,
trial and execution of Lincoln’s con
spirators.”
He was provost of the old peniten
tiary at Washington which had been
used as an arsenal during the war
and had in charge Mrs. Mary Sur
ratt, whose home was a rendezvous
for the conspirators. There also was
Herold, a companion of John Wilkes
Booth, Atzerodt and Payne, all of
whom were hanged.
Colonel Rath had told how when
it came to carrying out the death
sentence on his prisoners he was
overrun with volunteers who regard
ed it as an ohonor to serve in -any
capacity in avenging the death of
Lincoln.
After the coionel Rath
was ordered to take care of Booth’s
body, which was supposed to have
been thrown in the Potomoc river,
but which Colonel Rat hsaid he bur
ied secretly under the arsenal at
Washington.
Plucky Cat CoulcTWhip
Everything but Skunk I
PALM BACH, Fla.—John R. Brad
ley’s well-known tomcat, Dick, got
in a fight here with a skunk, was
killed and was buried on the Beach
Club pioperty, where he had stood
watch for ten years. Dick, owing to
his Beach Club connections, is be
lieved to have had more friends in
society than any other cat in Amer
ica. Hundreds of newspaper sto
ries and photographs of Dick have
been published dating from eight
year ago, when his owner, widely;
known as a hunter of big game,
made a bet that no dog could whip
him in a fair fight.
Among dogs he vanquished soon
after was a? 5,000 prize bull belong
ing to Edward R. McLean, and New
port Nipper, belonging to the late
Hamilton Cary.
Dick never lost a fight before and
that he should have been killed by
a polecat his owner believes must
have been because he lost his breath
before he got started.
Carried StolerTGoldTrom
U. S. Mint in Wooden Leg
DENVER, Col.—Orville Harrington
forty-one, skilled worker in the Den
ver mint, was arrested a few days
ago by Roland K. Goddard, chief of
the local branch of the federal se
cret service on a charge of having
robbed the Denver mint of gold bul
lion valued at more than SIOO,OOO. A
search of Harrington’s home reveal
ed the gold bars buried and hidden
in various parts of the premises and
all of it was recovered, according- to
Goddard.
Harrington, the officers say, car
ried the bars out of the mint con
cealed in a hollow artificial leg,
which he wore. Because of the un
usual means taken to get the gold
out of the mint the officers were un
able to source of the thefts
for several days. Harrington was
arrested as he was coming off shift

$1,400 bar of gold hidden in the false
leg.

MODIFICATION OF
DEMAND ON HUNS
AGAIN INDICATED
LONDON, Feb. 14.—Modification
of the allied demand on Germany
for surrender of war guilty was in
dicated in unofficial French advices
here tonight.
Forecasting the contents of the
new allied note to Germany, decided
upon by the council of premiers in
their conference here,* the French
advices said the note makes a dis
tinction between the direct authors
of crimes and officials who are tech
nically guilty, because of crimes by
their subordinates.
The London Telegraph printed a
similar forecast of the contents of
the note asserting it understood the
allies might not insist upon their
previous demand that the accused
Germans be tried before allied
tribunals. The newspaper even
went so far as to forecast the note
as paving the way for trial of the
war guilty in Teuton courts.
Premier Millerand, of France, in
an interview, declared the allied
leaders were unanimously agreed in
their new note to Germany, intimat
ing that reported dissensions between
the premiers had been ironed out.
The French advices declared that
the allies had not changed in the.ir
demand for trial of Field Marsha’
Von Hindenburg and General Lud
endorff. The note did point out,
however, they said that the allies
wished to make it clear they did not
wish to be responsible for any dis
orders in Germany, such as the
German government claimed sur
render of the war guilty would be
sure to cause.
The French advices also forecast
the contents of the new allied note
to Holland as considering relinquish
ment -of the allied demand for ex
tradition of the former kaiser if the
Dutch government should deport
him to the Dutch Indies.
Woman Accepts Challenge
To Prove Spirits Real
NEW YORK. —Joseph F. Rinn,
New York spook exposer, today cut
out a tremendous task for Patience
Worth. Mrs. John H. Curran, St.
Louis, whose ouija board spells out
poems that she say are dictated by
the spirit of Patience, has accepted
Mr. Rinn’s challenge, under which
he has agreed to donate $5,000 for a
home for foundlings in case he can
not duplicate any “spirit” messages.
“Let Mrs. Curran come to New
York,” said Mr. Rinn, “and appear
in any public place. Take the ouija
board and cover it with a piece of
paper that hides the letters. A num
ber will stand for each letter and
the key will be known to no one but
myself.
“I’ll put it back of her so the
‘spirit’ can see it. If she produces
any reasonable common sense poems
or other letters, I’ll admit she has
won. It is her own sub-consciousness
that produces these writings if she
produces them subjectively at all.”

HOPES FOR EARLY
TREATY ADOPTION
ABE MED AGAIN
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.—Support
ers ©f the Lodge reservations have
rejected the two proposals for com
promise on article ten submitted to
them by Senator Hitchcock, and sign
ed by twenty-eight Democrats.
This rejection, though expected,
again has dashed the hopes of those
who believed it would be possible
to agree on a general basis of treaty
ratification before the senate re
sumes debate upon the pact Monday.
Senator Hitchcock’s action in pre
senting “impossible” proposals has
put the treaty back where it was
last November, leading senators of
the Lodge group said tonight. They
declared that the struggle for rati
fication has been greatly lengthened,
inasmuch as it will now be neces
sary to proceed step by step, with
the irredoncilables fighting desparate
ly on each proposed change in the
reservations, hoping to cause enough
dissention to defeat the treaty alto
gether.
Before Senater Hitchcock made his
proposals, some senators hoped that
after a few days of debate, to satis
fy the demands of those wishing to
be heard, a ratification resolution
could be put through, with a com
promise on article ten in it that would
be agreeable to both sides and get
President Wilson’s assent.
Senators who have carefully gone
over the situation today said that
they approached the renewal of dis
cussion Monday wrth little hope that
it will end in ratification. Senator
Hitchcock’s proposals, they said,
made it clear that he and the other
Democrats are not willing to go far
enough in meeting the Lodge group
on article ten.
At the same time, eight additional
senators today joined that group
which has served notice on Senator
Lodge that they will not support any
modification of the Lodge reserva
tion on article ten. The eight new
recruits to the group are Senators
Curtis and Capper, of Kansas; Sena
tors New and Watson, of Indiana;
Senators Kenyon and Cummins, of
Iowa; Senator Spencer, of Missouri,
and Senator Harding, of Ohio. There
are now fourteen senators in this
new group of “near-irreconcilables.”
The general disposition is to try
to dispose of the less strongly con-
I tested reservations first, leaving ar
ticle ten to the last, and in the mean
time informal efforts to arrive at
an agreement on a Compromise will
go on.
U. S. Must Cut Down
Expenses to Avert
Crisis, Says Speaker
NEW YORK,
by remorselessly cutting down ex
penses is the necessary duty of the
government to avert the financial
crisis which now threatens the
country, Frederick H. Gillett, speak
er of the house of representatives,
declared here tonight in an address
at a dinner of the Amherst associa
tion. “Wcrk and save,” he added,
“should be the maxim of the Amer
ican people.”
“The individual must cut down his
expenses,” he said, “and save until
government bonds, which are far be
low par, have been taken up into the
permanent savings of the country
and thus normal conditions restored.
Money must not be used in useless
consumption, but must be turned
into useful savings.”
“Work, production,” he declared,
“is the crying need both for the
United States and for the world. Ev
ery man ought to feel it his duty t 6
increase production and decrease his
consumption. In that way only can
the normal balance of demand and
supply be again quickly restored.”
Auto-Run Grindstone
Beheads a Farmer
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. —Coupling
up his automobile with a grind
stone, to get quicker results, Jesse
Steelman, fifty-three, a wealthy
farmer of Scullville, ten miles from
here, started the engine and com
menced to sharpen an ax.
There was a crash, the grindstone
split and pieces were shot through
the sides of the garge. One large
section struck Steelman on the neck,
completely beheading him.
ing should be heeded promptly. You
are really in danger if exposed to
the disease, because it is generally
believed to be very contagious, and
you are apt to fall an easy victim if
you come in contact with the germs.
People who are well and strong
are not likely to contract the disease
because they are able to throw it
off. The common-sense way to keep
from taking it is to fortify the sys
tem against attack by up
the constitution, in other words, be
gin immediately to build *up your
powers of resistance.
To accomplish this it has been
demonstrated that nothing on earth
will strengthen you and build you
up like Tanlac, the powerful recon
structive tonic which contains the
very elements needed to build up
the system and give you fighting
strength to ward off the Influenza
germs.
First of all, Tanlac begins its work
by creating a good, healthy appetite
for wholesome, nourishing food, and
assists every organ of the body to
perform its natural function, thus
helping to build up health and
strength in the natural way.
Tanlac is also an ideal strengthen
ing tonic foi- persons who are suffer
ing from the after-effects of Influ
enza, Grippe, and bronchial troubles,
and hundreds of thousands are using
it daily with the most gratifying re
sults.
In connection with the Tanlac
treatment it is necessary to keep the
bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxa
tive Tablets, samples of which are
enclosed with every bottle of Tan
lad. It is also important the
every-day rules of hygiene be ob
served, that is, sleep in well-venti
lated rooms, get plenty of fresh air
and exercise, and keep away from
crowds.
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
gists.— (Advt.)

I take “Cascarets.”
• t
Are you keeping your bowels, liv
er, and stomach clean, pure, and
fresh with Cascarets. or merely
whipping them into action every few
days with Salts, Cathartic Pills, Oil,
or Purgative Waters?
Stop having a bowel wash-day.
Let Cascarets gently cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour and fermenting food and foul
gases, take the excess bile from tho
liver and carry out of the colon and
bowels all the constipated waste

straighten up.
Cascarets tonight will make you

or cause any inconvenience, and

A Woman’s Tonic and Nervine
Augusta, Ga.: —“During all of my
married life I have found Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription to be
a splendid tonic and nervine. I was
on the verge of nervous prostration
when I first started to take the ‘Pre
scription’ (during- the first year of
my married life) and it cured me of
my nervousness and so built me up in health
that ever since that time I have depended
upon it to restore me to a better cottdition
whenever I have become weak, nervous and
run-down. It has never once failed to
strengthen me and relieve me of the nerv
ousness, and I consider it the best medicine
in the world for women who are weak and
ailing.”—MßS. 11. J. MILLER, 824 Phillip

on the liver, toning it up When sluggish, and
for constipation, bilious attacks or siek

healthy, rosy-oheelced, steady
nerved women without Iron.
When the Iron goes from the
blood of women, the roses go
from their cheeks—their
charm and attractiveness de

patients take organic iron—Nux

which often corrodes the stomach
and does more harm than good).
Nuxated Iron is easily assimi

the teeth nor upset the stomach.
It will increase the strength and
