SEND OLD FOLKS
BACK HOME
Catholic Ladies Raising Money
For Railroad Fare

The Catholic ladies have decided
to take up the restitution case Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Llchenee of this city
and are now circulating petition
among the citizens OF the town for
the purpose Of securing sufficient
funds to send the aged couple back
to their home In Michigan. The pc
tition In general sets forth that the

residing with their daughter. but
that recently they were turned out,
and that since they have been with
out home and are without funds.
The couple a year ago came from
Michigan TO take up residence with
their daughter. Mrs. Joseph Mayer,

enced some trouble with their daugh-
ter and left. and since then they have
been dependent for their subsistence
upon the charity OF strangers. The
couple are aged, the husband being
about 80 years old and the wife
about 70. Both are too feeble TO
perform any labor OF any character.
and are hardly able to care for them
selves. Since last Monday they have
wandered about from house to house
in the city. begging for food and .
shelter to protect the mfrom the cold,
In most instances this has been given
them, but only for q day or so. and
then they were compelled to continue
their journey In search Of new quar-
tiers. Their case was called TO the
attention OF the board Of county com
missioners. but that body was unable
to make any other provision for them
than to send them to the county pool
farm. and this the couple declined
to accept. They stated that ratheI

A MESSAGE ON LABOR

believed however, that the explana-
ton is to be found in the stimulation
of public interest in the legislation
to be dealt with in the message
caused by the very active element
and the pressure brought to bear by
that element directly upon the ad-
ministration and upon congress by
the labor chiefs who have been in
conference In Washington within the
last few days.
The fact that the labor people are
asking for legislation that goes far
beyond the limit which the president
has fixed In his own mind as proper
at this time possibly has suggested
to the administration leaders the me-
cessity OF laying their own case be-
fore the people in order to counter
act as far as possible the appeals
which are certain TO be made to the
mass of organized labor through
their various organizations and pub
lications when Il becomes known Of
ficially that all the demands Of the
representative OF labor organiza.
lions failed TO receive approval either
at the White House or at the capi.
! toll.

TEST BAILEY's STRENGTH

viii Go Before the People i'm Direct
Primary.
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 81.
As result Of the big anti-Bailey
convention in Waco recently and the
feeling that has developed between
the Bailey and anti-Bailey factions,
the state democratic executive com
mittee was reconvened today by
Chairman Garden and will order a
special primary election to decide on
four delegates at large to the Dem
yer convention.
Senator Bailey has been placed be-
fore the voters as a candidate for
delegate at large, the other members
of the proposed big Four" being
United States Senator Culberson,
Governor T. M. Campbell and State
Chairman Garden. At its meeting
last month the state committee de-
cided not to call a primary election,
since the state election law provides
for precinct conventions to send dele
gates to a state convention. The OPP
position to Bailey has now become SO
bitter, however, that the friends OF
the distinguished Texas statesman
are determined to have a primary
and allow the voters to settle the
matter.
The opposition to Bailey, once the
popular idol of the democrats OF
Texas, grew out of his alleged con-
nection with the Waters-Pierce Oil
company, a subsidiary corporation Of
the Standard Oil company. Enemies
of the senator declare that he was
"whitewashed" by the Texas legisla
ture and that the good name Of
Texas demands his expulsion from
public life. At the recent anti
Bailey meeting in Waco there wal
exhibited a great oil can, bearing
the question: "Shall this, or tbs
people, rule the state?" With th'
calling of a primary, the people will
have an opportunity to decide TO
themselves.

Mark Twain Is
Seventy Three.
Noted Author and HumOriSt Is In
Best Of Health, and Seems to Be
ENJOYING Life.

New York, Monday. Though Mark
Twain may never realize the confessed
ambition of his boyhOOd days to become
President of the United States there is
no room to doubt that his fame is al
most as widespread and mis- popularity
as great as any occupant of the execu-
tive chair at Washington. This was
evidenced today by the stack Of letters
and kilograms he received on the occa-
sion of his birthday. He confesses to
seventy-three of these anniversaries
and frankly declares that ne likes them
so we'll he hopes to have many more OF
them.
Since last spring the veteran humor-
list has been making his home at
charming little country place he bought
in Connecticut. But the charm Of his
old haunts along Broadway and Fifth
avenue have not lost their fascination
for him and almost every week he man
ages to run into town to spend day or
two at his favorite club and have a
pleasant chat or a game Of billiards
with his old associates. Despite his
seventy-three years Mr. Clemens pre-
sents a picture of hale, alert activity,
and seems to enjoy the best of health.
