CHILE IS SULKING
Ambitious South American Republic
Pouting Over Uncle Sans Lack
OF Enthusiasm.
SOME SOUTH AMERICAN POLITICS

Aspirations to Gain Ambassadorlal
Rank at Washington Were Not En-
eouraeed and the Andesn State
Declines to Send Back Its Minister.
Washington, April 1.--Chiles fall
ure to send a minister to Washington
TO replace Mr.. Walker-Martinez, who
did not return here after the Pam
American conference at Rio Janeiro
last summer. has caused much COM
ment. The neglect Of the Chilean
congress to appropriate sufficient mon
ey to maintain the legation has been
given as a reason for leaving the
American mission in charge Of Alberto
Yoacham, secretary Of the legation.
But II has just become known that the
real cause was hidden deep In Latin
American politics.
Chile decided IL would be a good
idea TO have an ambassador in Wash
ington and steps we're taken to dis
cover what the United States thought
about the proposed elevation of the
Chilean representative to Washington
Brazil had an ambassador. and Chile
felt that a similar honor should be &C
corded to It by the United States.
The suggestion that the Chilean en-
voy might be raised TO ambassadorial
rank set all Latin-America on edge,
AMI a general movement was institut-
ed by the southern republics TO head
OF such q movement. Argentina, be-
ing unfriendly to Chile, was especially
opposed TO the plan. as Brazil and
Chile are always rated as allies and
Argentina did not want her two
strongest rivals to outstrip her in
American representation.
II has not been the policy of the
state department to send ambassadors
to any country which cannot be rank
ed as a world power. and when the
hostility OF the rest of South America
TO such a change became known the
United States decided that the ques-
ton had better not be agitated fur
Their at this time. Before this decision
was reached. however II was diplo-
mdllCdlly nlHleu ludl BOilNld anu sew
eral OF the western South American
republics would probably decide to
withdraw their ministers and leave
their legations In charge Of secretaries
in case Chile was permitted to send
an ambassador.
After Mr. Walker-Martinez left
Washington II was suggested to the
state department that another man,
whose name has not been made pub
nc, was being considered for the
place. But after the United States
was asked about the man his name
was dropped and recently there has
been no suggestion that Chile will be
in any hurry about sending a repre-
sentative Of ministerial rank to Wash
ington.
The United States had no objection
to the name proposed and the failure
of Chile to send him is attributed by
diplomatists here TO the refusal of the
United States 10 give favorable con-
sideration 10 the ambassadorial plan.

Nutria Fur Is Rare.

Nutria fur comes from a little ami
NAL which makes his home on the
banks OF the river De la Plata in
South America. The climate and loca-
ton suit him so well that he has never
been found in any other locality. He
is equally at home in the water or
ashore, being provided by nature with
nostrils set very high, so that he can
swim with Just the tip of his nose out
of the water. The old lady nutria
swims around. with five or six young
ones on her back. the rest of her anti
race suicide family tagging along as
best they may. Nutria holds the same
position among hatters' furs as geld
does among the metals or silk among
fabrics.-Hatman.

MAKES A RECORD.
Joe McCOy's Elizabeth, a Green One
Last Season, Gets Mark of 2 :19H.

Joe Mccoy has phenomenal luck
in picking up untrIed shoppers that
other folks call common scrubs and
making winners of them on the turf.
Barney Mccoy was one example.
and the manner in which the pop
ular gelding performed for several
seasons in thisscircuit was a matter
of much comment. He was a green
one-had but little training and no
great amount of blue blood, but he
made 'em all go some to win the
money.
About two years ago Mr.. Mccoy
got his horse eye on Victory mare
owned by Preston Hayden, residing
near Beetown. He liked her gait
and build and bought her.. Last
season sheIstarted in a few green
races under Billy Dyer's whip and
astonished even her owner, This
season Elizabethl has secured a
piece of the money IN every race
she has entered, and in fast COM
pany, too. She wont two races at
Monroe and capped the climax last
Friday by carrying off first money
in the 2:35 pace at Madison on a
muddy track, securing mark of
|2:19l, ia bunch of 10 good ones.
Elizabeth started in the second
tier and finished fourth in the first
heat. The little mare then went in
and finished first in three straight
heats, Dyer driving. She is at the
Jefferson fair this week

american Style and Reporters to Be
Used In Educating EngIishmen.
r. S. Barrett, proprietor of the Daily
Record of the City of Mexico, upon
landing at New York the other morn
ing from the steamship Finland SAID
that he had decided to establish In
London newspaper "along the lines
Of the up to date American dailies.
He would import for his purpose, he
explained, reporters trained in Ameri-
can journalism. Mr.. Barrett is an
American. He has conducted his Mex
lean newspaper for some years, says
the New York Post.
Il do not think that the English
reading public is as yet ready to re-
ceiye the kind of paper i expect to
publish" he said. Their newspapers
are heavy and ponderous, and L am OF
the opinion that it will take a long
American style of journalism. My pa,
per, therefore, will depend at first up
on the patronage of summer tourists,
who flock to London in large numbers
in the summer and will be. glad to find
there ainewspaper of the style to
which they are accustomed. In the
winter American tourists come to Mex
leo. Until am we'll started in London
/ shall divide N.Y. time between the
two cities, depending in both places
for the patronage of the American Wis
itor.''
English papers We're described by
Mr.. Barrett as far behind ours in their
manner of handling news and adver-
Using.
"They have not as yet adopted the
telephone as a means of transmitting
news" he said. land in other respects
their methods are crude. The tele-
phone systems of English cities, by
the way, are in about the same stage
cf development that those of the Unit
ed States had reached ten or fifteen
years ago The service is slow and
poor.
1.-THE English reporter takes his time
about getting story and must SO eli
the way to his Office to write it. lie
knows nothing of the rapid fire edi-
lions such as are to be found in New
York and other large American cities"

to see a motor car loaded with gar

load Of garden truck. When she reach
ed the market she found her neigh
Dor, Mrs H. L. Center. there with q
runabout load of chickens and eggs
and accompanied by her little girl
Mrs. Brendle says she uses her ma
chine for many things. She runs about
over the country by herself visits her
neighbors and looks after the several
Brendle farms. .t.''i'''''tf

comes this difficulty by putting a rope
about the animals horns and tying
her to the back end of the motor car
There was time when the motor
car agent spent his time with the
country merchant, the banker and the
professional man. The agent spends
almost as much time with the farmer
now as he does with the .townsman.
Fifteen or twenty machines are owned
in Saline county by farmers. ''o2 Ia.
