Columbia, Jan. 1G.-lt is very evi-
~, dent that the question of the farm la
sSbor situation is going to be about the
q; most interesting topic discussed by
& this session Of the general assembly.
sS On Wednesday night at the call of
81 Representative Wade of Aiken, the
4 farmers of the general assembly were
called to meet and they took up the
matter in earnest, discussing the sit
uation from every standpoint. 1t was
decided to appoint committee who
3 shall draft a bill regulating labor con-
sSssStracts that will meet the decision Of
Jaislge Braw]ey as to constitutional
lily and to present it as this session.
1.-THE general assembly, has got
down to work very quickly and will
E8soon be disposilig of business as if it
pgwere several weeks old. The trip to
b winthrop on Saturday will consume
pRone day, but it is customary to take
8dav on Lees birthday ami the result
I win not be loss.
I The usual number of bills has not
Nbcen introduced yet. and while the
D, engrossing department has not been
A28sidlc it has not been rushed very great
&s$ly. The new form Of bills as i'll
by the attorney general Is
s3S sganeeting with favor in some quarters,
ss$but others object to it.
The two houses assembled on Tues
dav at noon and besides listening TO
the governors message an swearing
in new members little has been ac-
conplished so far. If the elections
can be gotten out of tlra way this
week, the two houses can CT down to
business.

NAME LION CUB "JIM;"
ALICE MORE APPROPRIATE
Pittsburg Zoo Officials Make Curious
Mistake In Seeking to Honor the
Republican Vice Preslden-
tial Candidate

PITTSBURG, Sept. 6.-Attaches of
the Highland Park zoo have q serious
problem confronting them. Two lions
were born there about two weeks ago
and overzealouS Taft and Sherman ad-
mirers suggested they be given the
names of the Republican candidates.
This was agreeable and the two little
animals were nicknamed Bill and Jim.
Yesterday the fearful discovery was
made that Jim could not consistently
be so designated. Someone proposed
they call her Alice, but this did not
meet with favor, as about a year ago a
camel was given the name of Alice in
honor of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and
many complaints were made for nam
dents daughter.
Now, If someone will suggest a girl
name pleasing to all the people in this
populous city Superintendent Tretow
of the zoo will be delighted.
An opportunity to canvass the fair
sex will likely be easy, as many women
are expected to go to the zoo this week
to see the two iqaruas, the Philippine
lizards, whose color r-changing stunts
are as remarkable as the chameleon.
1t is not probable that any woman will
desire to chain the lizard and wear it
for an ornament, as the size Of the
creeper is about a foot In length.
When woman appeared with
brown gown to view the new recruits
at the zoo the iqaruas would show their
appreciation by donning a brown coat.
They evidently are intelligent, because
they put on a two-color frock when an
other woman came in view with a
green dress.

IOWA COLLEGE WANTS
10000 OR MORE BUGS
Varieties Desired Range from Aristo-
cratic Blue and Yellow Butterflies
to Common, Everyday
Potato Bugs

AMES, Iowa, Sept. 6.-The people of
Ames have discovered that insects have
market value, and are waging such q
relentless war upon them that bugs of
every description threaten to become as
scarce as icicles in-well, in August
for instance. The state college extern
sion department has announced it must
have 10000 insects between now and
the time of the first freeze.
For the last two months it has en-
ployed several regular insect catchers,
and still the list is far from complete.
OF late additions have been made to
the force, and the work is being pushed.
No. variety is exemapt from pursuit.
The lid is off, and it is open season for
insects twenty-four hours in the day.
Aristocratic blue and yellow butter
flies are unceremoniously chucked into
the same bottle with plebeian potato
bugs. Plant lice so small that they can
be seen only with a microscope, and
devils darning needles ais large as hum
ming birds; bloodthirsty mosquitoes and
the unmentionable bugs that occupy
the leading hotels, all meet death in the
same inglorious way.
But these many bugs are not being
sacrificed wantonly. They are giving
their lives for the interests of science.

CHICAGO INSTRUCTOR
CALLS MIRACLES B0SH
Declares Old Testament Accounts Are
FancifuI Narratives Though Based
on Fact--Not Literal.
Descriptions

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Prof. Herbert l..
Willetts of the Divinity school of the
University of Chicago, who recently at
tackled Bible miracles and was In turn
grilled by orthodox ministers, returned
to the fray again.
mo man ever lived who could per-
form a miracle-that is, who could cause
a change of Gods laws of government
of the universe" he said.
1.-THE Old Testament miracles as mar
rated by Old Testament writers are
chiefly fanciful narratives based on fact
or legend and should not be taught
children as a literal description of facts.
You cannot teach children in school of
the Interchangeable laws of nature and
then teach them In Sunday school that
these laws are at times broken by God
or his prophets.
"All primitive people are lovers of the
marvellous. Children have their fairy
tales. There are four groups, the first
evidently based on fact but exagger-
ated. Among these are crossing of the
Red Sea and the ten plaques of Egypt.
1.-THE second set are based on figures
of speech which have no fact. Among
them are Joshua commanding the sun
and moon to stand still, and God rain
ing stones on the Canaanites, and the
Psalmist who tells of mountains bow
ing down and little mountains skipping
like lambs.
"The third group is legendary, as the
man raised from the dead after battle
and falling in Elisha's tomb, and the
three children of Israel in the fiery fur
mace.
"The fourth group includes those who
violate morals and probability such as
the command of Elisha and the death
of TJZZa"

SECOND ATTEMPT TO BURN
DOWN RESORT FRUSTRATED
House on San Pedro Street Closed
Recently Under Mayors General
Order, Set Fire to In
Four Places

The second attempt within six weeks
to burn the house at 219 North San
Pedro street was made at midnight by
an unknown man, who forced an en-
trance through rear window and set
fire to the interior in four different
places.
The house is under lease to May
Spencer, who until the recent closing
order issued by Mayor Harper, con-
Quoted the place as a resort. Miss
Spencer still resides in the building
but was absent last night at the time
of the fire.
Patrolmen Bowe and Hagenbaugh
discovered the blaze and breaking into
the place carried burning mattresses
and clothing from the house. By the
use Of a garden hose they extinguished
the fire without calling the depart
ment. The damage to the building and
contents is estimated at 5000.
Six weeks ago a similar attempt was
made to fire the place, but 1t was dis
covered at the start.
In carrying out the blazing bedding
and clothing the two policemen were
almost overcome by heat and smoke,
but pluckily stuck to the work and re-
sumed their places on the beat after
the fire.

Long Beach Visited by Thunderstorm,
and Heavy Showers Are Reported
from San Bernardino
County

The promise that has been held out
for several days past by the clouds
that have been gathring from the des-
ert was fulfilled yesterday morning,
when sharp shower, unusual at this
time of year, fell. The day continued
cloudy. close and threatening, but not
sufficiently so to interfere with the
customary crowds of holiday makers,
bent on pleasure at the different re-
sorts.
Everywhere, however, the weather
showed itself in an uncertain mood,
and Long Beach experienced the now
city of a thunderstorm, followed by a
downpour of considerable proportions
Most of the valley towns report light
rains and at the west end of San Ber-
nardino county the showers were
heavy.
In the early evening Los Angeles
was visited again by a slight down
fall, which at about 10 o'clock devel-
oped for brief period more decided
features.
With skies still overcast the pros
poets are for a continuation of unset
tied conditions, though no heavy rain
fall is anticipated.

One of Final Coups Of Republican Ad-
nnInlstratIon VIII Be Attempt to
Almost Double Garrison
Forces
81 Associated Press.

Iy Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-President
Roosevelt in his final annual message
to congress probably will recommend
an increase in the numerical strength
of the army to at least 100000 men.
At present the army is on FOOTING
of 60, 600 men, the number provided for
in time of peace.
To the general staff it has become
evident in the last two years that co.
900 men are too few properly to garrl-
son the posts at which 1t is necessary
to maintain an army force.
These posts include the garrisons in
the insular possessions OF America
The law provides that the army may be
increased to 100000 men in the time
of need. This provision in the opinion
of military experts is likely to prove
serious handicap to the army If abso-
lutte necessity should arise for u larger
force.
1t is claimed the recruiting of army
men from 10000 to 100000 would bring
into the service an addition of approxi-
mately two inexperienced men to every
three experienced soldiers.
The injection of so considerable
force of raw recruits 1t is stated by
military officials would detract seri-
ously from the efficiency of the army.
1t is also claimed that a considerable
force Will be required TO garrison tne
fortifcations at Pearl harbor in the
Hawaiian islands.
An immense amount of money is to
be expended in the erection of these
fortifications, and it is the opinion of
army officials that a garrison of at
least 1000 men will have to be main
tained there in order to protect the
works and insure against invasion by
a possible enemy.
Japanese Are Many
Just now there are approximately
10000 Japanese in the Hawaiian islands.
In the remote event of war between
America and Japan and some power
with which Japan is on friendly terms
it would be impossible for the COM
paratively small force of United States
troops now in the Hawaiian islands to
prevent the landing of arms and am
munition to supply the Japanese in
the islands.
1t is expected that the president will
recommend in his message an increase
of the army by the addition of at least |
ten regiments of infantry, five regi- |
ments of cavalry and several COM
panies of coast artillery.
