THE wOoL-GROWERs.
Argument of Ohio Representatives for RestO-
ration of the Tariff

Argument of Ohio Representatives for RestO-
ration of the Tariff.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O-A hearing was given
the woolgrowers, to-day, by the House COM
mittee on ways and means Representatives
from the Wool growers Associations of Ohio and
Pennsylvania spoke. The arguments for the
Ohioans were most impressive, coming as they
did from the brainiest men of the country repre-
senting that interest They demanded the
restoration Of the duty of 1867 on wool
Columbus Delano, of Ohio, president of the
National Wool-growers' Association, said that
only under the law of 1867 had wool
growers enjoyed adequate protection; that
the tariff had received the approval of both
growers and manufacturers. Justice to
both industries demanded the restoration of
these duties The proposed further reduction
would absolutely destroy the industry. He de-
scribed the growth and magnitude of the wool
growing interest in the United States, which
has 100000 flock proprietors, besides those on
public land ranches, and employs in addition
10000 men, The yearly clip is worth 81 coo 900.
He had just received letter from an officer of
the Nebraska Wool-growers' Association in
forming him that $4,000 of the best breeding
ewes in that State are being fattened to be sold
mutton because the wool growers believe they
will be compelled to abandon wool-growing Mr..
Deano also opposed the proposition to admit
carpet goods free of duty.
Secretary William U. Cowdon, of the Ohio
Wool growers Association stated that local asso-
Citations have recently been organized in all parts
of Ohio, and all of them have adopted strong
resolutions in favor of the restoration of the
wool duties
''These are not cutand dried resolutions, but
the earnest and spontaneous expressions of those
associations" said he. THE members are in
dead earnest. They mean to entrench them
selves behind the ballot-bo and strive for
justice. am Democrat and not ashamed of
it. There is no demand so far as 1 know,
among farmers for a reduction of duties
They are not opposed to protection of American
industry nor do they complain of the price they
pay for wooden goods"
Representative Hurd of Ohio interrupted him
to read the tariff resolution from the Ohio Dem
ocratic platform, for series of years, in favor of
free trade and asked him whether he thought
they or the resolutions adopted last year, in
favor of protection to the wool growers, best
expressed the sentiments of the Democratic
farmers of Ohio.
'Those adopted last year, 1 am very certain"
promptly replied Mr. Cowden 1.-THE farmers
made themselves felt in that convention"

'In other words" state the memorialsts, 'the
soldier is entitled to have received pay in dollars
worth 100 cents" 1t is also demanded by the
memorialists that all ex-prisoners of war
should be paid for such imprison-
ment. If they were in prison six months
or more a full pension should be granted, and if
less than six months, a compensation accord
ingly.
In very unmistakable language the memorial
lists protest against pension commission. They
demand that there be no such delay inlegslation
as commission would cause The memorial
closes with this statement:
1--WE do not ask these favors but we demand them
as our right, because of their justice and for the
that the government is expected to make good
its solemn pledge to the soldier well to the bond
holder. We demand of the present Congress cearcut
and unequiyocal action on these demands"

They say they want the Territory of Dakota

Amusing Adventures of the Head of the Su-
preme Court.
Washington Special
Having an imperative engagement in Balti-
more, some time ago, Chief-ju Waite, of the
Supreme Court, hurried to the Baltimore & Ohio
depot ten minutes before the train started. As
he was about to purchase a ticket he discovered
to his horror, that he had only few pennies in
his pocket. He looked around for a friend, but
finding none, he resolved to use desperate meas
ures. He filed up in line to the ticket window
As he reached the agent he smiled an awful
smile across the full width of his enormous
mouth, and asked the ticket agent if he knew
him.
mo, DON'T snarled the agent; land what is
more, don't want to. What do you wantl

replied the representative of justice.
''Oh, know you l know all the bloods. But
that dodge won't work me. have just had
two members of the cabinet try to blk me out
of tickets and no Chief Justice dodge gets me-
Take your ugly mug out of the window and get
out of the way of people who have money!
The Chief Justice glared. He could not fine
the young man for contempt of court. He felt
worse than if he had been real fraud, and he
blushed and perspired so that the agent had his
out of the station to see if he could not find
some one to identify him. He had only five
minutes left. 1t was too short time to run to
the capitol He saw one. Across the street
there was a saloon and an eating-house. The
Chief Justice made rush for the place, but
stopped at the door Spying private entrance,
he rushed in and accosted the proprietor with
the frantic inquiry of DO you know mel"

hurriedly

But before any further explanation could be
made the Chief Justice had grabbed the money
and was running across the street In some
way the ticket agent had learned of his blunder
during the Judges absence, and was all polite
ness when he saw the money. Mr. Waite barely
made the train. but he has not had such shock
to his dignity since he went upon the bench of
the Supreme Court.

General Grants Birthplace.


Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
We present sketch of the birthplace of Gen
eral U. s. Grant at Point Pleasant, Ohio as it
appeared last Wednesday in the flood Grant
was born at Point Pleasant, April 81, 1922 His
parents removed TO Georgetown the following
year, but the great Generals first utterances
were within the old cottage which our special
artist has pictured. The house stands on the
west side of one of the principal streets of the
village and is about two squares distant from
the river, The water during the flood has for the
first time in the history of the house extended to
its doorsteps and filled the entire yard The
water about til" house was from foot to two
feet deep.
The house is frame, with the space between
the weatherboards and the plastering filed in
with bricks and mortar. 1t is, therefore. un-
usually strong No one in the noighborhood
knows its age or history, but the people of the
town are very proud to point to it as the center
of great deal of interest to the world 1t has
been kept in good repair on account of its his
torical value, and nothing has been changed in
its surroundings since the youngster Ulysses
first made the windows rattle In the winter of
1929 the big backlog in those old -fashioned
chimneys at the side of the house sent up its
scintilations for the amusement of the baby
destined to make the sparks fly in another way

Speakers to Whom No Attention Is Paid
-Anecdote of MIR. Randolph.

when Henry Clay and his colleagues in the Sen
ate were in their paimy days of oratory, they
were very Independent in their speech at times,
much more So indeed, than any of the senators
of to-day 1t is said that one day Mr.. Randolph
was speaking upon some interesting measure,
and that after he had spoken some time the
President of the Senate drew some paper out of
drawer in his desk and began writing letter.
short time after he had begun to write he
ceased to hear anyone speaking. He wrote on
several lines, however, before looking up. Mr..
Randolph stood solemnly beside his seat, look
ing hard at the President of the Senate.
'Is the senator from Virginia done2" inquired
the President

1.-THE senator will proceed then, and the Presi-
dent placed his pen on the paper again and began
writing.

writing.
THE senator is not DONE" spoke Mr.. Ran
dolph sharply; she is waiting until the President
of the Senate finishes writing his letter." And
he refused to talk until he had the Presidents

1t is not nfrequent that Senator Edmunds sits
an hour in his seat engaged in some work while
some one is speaking, wholly oblivious to what

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Indications that 1t win Be Held at chioag,

in August.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 20.-A cross current has
cut off the tide which, last night seemed to go
out to St Louis in the struggle for the Demo
cratic national convention. To-day altogether
new features have operated The whole matter
of the location of the convention now appears to
rest upon the length of the campaign. If it is
concluded that the campaign shall be short
one everybody almost comedies that St Louis is
defeated and Chicago WINS and it looks very
much, tonight as though the campaign will be
quite brief compared to that of the Republicans
Mr.. Gowdy, of Chicago, member of the ma
tonal committee, stated to the Journal CORE
spondent that he had to-day talked to major
ity of the members and alternates and had
found them, with one exception, in favor of
short campaign. They favor nomination not
earlier than the first of August. Some are par
tial to the middle of August "Of course" said
he, that would put St Louis clear out of the
race for the convention, as no one would think
of going there with conventions unless they
were held as early as the LIST of July. st. Louis
is in climate too warm and is too much of an
oven to be adopted by this convention. If the

votes on the first ballot, while st. Louis would
not get more than six out of the thirty eight
We will get the convention on the second ballot
The arrival of Mr. Barnum, from New York
tomorrow, is looked for with great anxiety
He is expected to have great influence in set
ting the place of holding the convention. 1t is
generally conceded that if he wants it to go to
any point that has any considerable strength, he
will control it. His friends are divided, how
ever, and that is interpreted to mean that he
will not try to influence the matter.
Austin H. Brown, who is the member of the
committee from Indiana, favors Chicago, as do
all Democrat members of Congress from In
diana, and they are all at work, Mr. Brown says
Chicago will succeed, if her people do not act in
discreetly, and that he does not anticipate. He
considers that Chicago virtually has secured it
already; that it is settled on account of the
season at which the convention is likely to be
held and its geographical location.
Dispatches received here to night from ex-Sen-
ator Mcdonald, of Indiana emphatically contra
dieting the report that he or his friends are tax
ing any part in the contest of cities for the loca
Eon of the Democratic national convention
Henry Watterson was seen by reporter on
the subject. and said: Neither Mr. Mcdonald
nor his friends attach the slightest Importance
to the location of the convention. They are di-
vided on that matter according to individual
preferences in the matter. Mr.. McDonalds
presidential prospects are such that any place
will suit them"
