Jan. 24.—The spec ial committees appointed by the State Legislature to investigate charges pre ferred against Senator Bailey, met In executive session today. While the proceedings were not made public, it Is believed that the additional charges preferred on yesterday hy Represen tative Cocke, wherein it is charged that Senator Bailey used his official posi tion to manipulate land deals in Indian Territory to his private gain, werh considered. Because of the grave char acter of the charges Involving a pos sible violation of a Federal statute, the committee has decided to limit the range of Inquiry until more definite in formation can be secured. The charges further declare that Senator Bailey procured a loan from Judge J. M. Lindsay, of Gainesville, Texas, in 1S92, while procuring from Congress a right <jf way through In dian Toritor.v for the Gainesville, Me- A lies tor -and St. Louis Railway Com pany The committee decided that senator Bailey would not be required appear before thp committee bpforo ad tch evidence was submitted, inas much as'he was on the defensive.

WILL TAKE TESTIMf BILLS ILLITERATE WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The extent to which child labor Is employed in the Southern cotton mills is set forth in a bulletin Issued by the census bureau today. The statistics show that the cotton mills furnish employment to children “bread winners” to a greater extent than any other manufacturing industry. In 1900 the number of cot ton mill operatives between 10 and la years of age was 44,427. By'far the greatest degree of illitera cy, the bulletin says, is that shown for the children in cotton mills. In the South almost one-half of the cotton mill operatives 10 to 14 years of age are illiterate and about one-fourth of those 15 to 20 years of age. The smaller percentage in the older group of operatives would indicate that a good many of these children learn to read and write after they are 10 years old. But the t percentage of illiteracy in the older group is still very high, rendering it probable that large num bers of these children are destined to rdrnain Illiterate for the rest of their lives.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.—Consul J. I. Brittain. United States Consul at Kohl. Germany, reports that there has for many months been a serious short age of ears in Germany. All the rail roads there are owned and operated by the Government. Mr. Brittain says, in a report to the State Department: "The greatest cause of the scarcity (of cars) is the extraordinary activity in the iron and steel industry. For the first half of 1906 nearly 700,000 more cars of coal, coke and patent fuel were delivered by the syndicate than during the corresponding period of last year, and the dally dispatch of cars has fre quently exceeded 21,000 in number. "Tli" Prussian State Railway au thorities have been severely criticised J in consequence of the shortage of rail- i way cars. Thus, during June, although ! 221.991 more cars were available than | In June. 1905. the shortage amounted to I nearly 1.000 cars a day. But. on the | other hand, it is questioned whether, even with this shortage made good, it would have been possible to satisfy the demand. "The marked scarcity of cars at this time of the year is all the more dis quieting. since the farmers will shortly be drawing heavily upon all available railway roiling stock to move agricul tural produce. The result of this de ficit in the number of cars supplied has been that in several collieries the min ers have been compelled temporarily to stop work, a measure which in these days of high wages is a costly mat ter. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION MAY GE N, Jan. 24.—Th on appro;.: THAN BE EXPOSED ■NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—Samuel B. Terry, paying teller at the United States subtreasury, and Edgar F.

Mr. Fish declined to make public the reason for his action in the case, beyond saying that both Terry and Lee had been guilty of irregularities which could not be overlooked. He says the accounts of both men were absolutely correct.- When he learned of the irreg ularities. the nature of which he would not disclose, he called Terry and Lee before him and gave them the choice of handing in their resignations at once or having charges preferred against them to the subtreasury. They chose the former alternative. Terry had been connected with the subtreas ury in this city in various capacities for more than thirty years, and Lee had been in the service almost as long his superior officer. DISTRICT OE COLUMBIA WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.—President Roosevelt sent today to congress the fol lowing message favoring a model insur ance law in the District of Columbia: “To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: ’I transmit herewith a report and subsequent letter from the superintend ent Of the department- of insurance of the District of Columbia, and a letter of Mr. Brandeis. of Boston, in reference thereto. X agree with the recommenda tion of Mr. Drake that what Is needed ife an insurance law for the District of Columbia, on the lines of the so-called Ames bill, already introduced in the house of representatives, revising :t so as to include all the desirable features of the so»called uniform bill. With prop er modifications aftor expert revision this bill could be enacted into a law so com prehensive and just that it would stand as a model of equity. I regret greatly that there is not national power to detU with this subject, but inasmuch as this seems at present to be the case, we shoulld at least establish a model law In the District of Columbia. I feel that the department of insurance of the District of Columbia should bo made a bureau In the department of commerce and labor. ’ "THEODORE ROOSEVELT. “The White House. Jult. 24. 1907."

Pieces of feed, sueli as pumpkin and roots, can be removed from the jaws and throat if the animal has been trained to being handled while young. What a cow has once learned she re tains. even with semi-yearly practice, if guided by kindness. Every time a milch cow is excited her owner is the loser, not only for, that milking, but she is not apt to re gain her former flow until coining fresh again. Then the milk retained by the cow is the better part, usually called strippings. Besides, the milk she gives is not fit for human food.

Did you ever think how many, many feet of film pass through the machine that produces the moving pictures you see nowadays in the vaudeville houses? Of course, this depends entirely on the length of the entertainment, hut usually about 1.000 feet of film are used in every per formance in the Orpheum theater. That's 14.000 feet a week—two performances a day—or about one-half million feet of film in the season of 36 weeks. That’s nearly 100 miles. This film costs S or 12 cents a foot, an Item of expense so largo that tho many seta of pictures are sent over the whole circuit of houses ju3t as the actors and actorines. the dancers, the comedians and other entertainers aro sent. There's an interesting story in the way these pictures are procured, especially those that depict a chase after an escap ing convict, the pictures you see while the orchestra plays the quick, exciting music and some one back of the stage Is doing things that make it seem sure enough, when shots are heard—also boric of the stage—and you see little puffs dr smoke In the picture while the convict gallops along over hill and valley, splashes through streams, falls off bridges, climbs fences and finally drops exhausted and is recaptured and led back to prison, head South CatoIlna-r-Winwaw, inland waterways between Charleston harbor.

The ordinance is being drawn at the request of the citizens of Peachtree, largely those who own carriages and automobiles. Peachtree is now being repaved with asphalt and it is believed that in keep ing heavy teams off the street the life of the asphalt will be very materially lengthened.

The younger brother, ac tuated by similar motives, said with in himself: "My brother has a fam ily. and I have none. I will contri bute to their needs. T will fake, of my shocks and place them with his, without his knowledge.” Great was the surprise of both, when on the. follow ing morning they found their shocks undiminished. This happened several nights in succession, when each re solved to solve the mystery. They did so, and on the foilc.wing sight the two brothers met haif way between their respective shocks with arms full of golden grain.

A new theory as to the origin of "Piodflly” was put forward by Arch deacon (Bickersteth about forty years ago. He had discovered a Piccadilly among the Chilterns, the central one of three conical hills near Ivinghoe, and he learnt that iiis hil! had at one time been known also as Peaked Hill. Migbc not London's Piccadilly likewise b« a Peaked Hill. No doubt the hill in Pic cadilly is not remarkably peaky, but then the same thing might be said of the Derbyshire Peak Itself. There is another Piccadilly near Abersvtwith, and yet another near Bolton. But in the provinces one always suspects bor rowing from London In such cases. There are Hyde Park Corners in pro vincial towns that have no Hyde Park to justify them.
