HEIRS OF THOMAS
SHEPARD QUARREL
ABOUT CEMETERY

A bitter controversy among the
heirs of Thomas Shepard, formerly
prominent farmer of the st. Johns
neigh borhood. over the right OF his
children and grandchildren to bury
their dead on a spot OF ground Sc
.ected for that purpose by Mr..
shepard during his lifetime, came up
for settlement this morning before
County Judge Lightfoot. who dis
posed OF the case in his characteristic
style when the facts in the case be-
came apparent.
According to the statements OF
some. Thomas Shepard selected a
suitable spot on his farm, which he
acquired soon after he moved TO Nc
Cracker county. and declared II his
intention to make II a family burying
ground for his family and their de-
'scendants. Twelve years ago Mr.
Shepard died and three years ago HIS
wife died and the property was divid-
ed among their eight children. In
the allotment, Mrs. Nancy Johnson
came into possession of the tract of
Hand on which the burying ground
was located. and since then, it Is
claimed by other members Of the
family. she has asserted possession
and control o. the burying grouno
and attempted to prevezt them from
visiting the burying ground where
their relations were buried. Recently
an injunction was prayed for by Mrs.
Thomas Johnson. niece of Mrs
Nancy Johnson, to restrain her aunt
from preventing her to visit the grave
OF her mother an 4 watering the fiow-
ers. IL was also sought to prevent
Mrs. Johnson from allowing cattle
and hogs to run in the field in which
the burying ground was located un
,ess she should allow a strong fence
to be placed around the graves.
Mrs, johnson declares she never
has interfered with free access TO the
ground and that there is a good fence
around II.

Payne Bill is Now Being
Framed By Ways and Means
Committee of Congress-An.
drew Carnegie Last Witness.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Framing OF
the new tariff bill, which will bear
Payne's name, begins this week. Car
negic appeared today as the last wit
ness. No further testimony. except
OF persons privately. will be heard.
The new law will place many bur-
dens on the president. IL will pro-
vide maximum and minimum rates
Countries without tariff will get the
lowest rates. Protective countries
must pay the maximum. The presi-
dent will decide which rate applies
to each country. II will also give a
wide field for reciprocity treaties
Wholesale prices in this country
rather than cost abroad will be the
basis for the tariff, wherever 1t can
be utilized.
Carnegie explained his belief that
the steel tariff is unnecessary. He
denied that independent companies
need protection. as Gary testified. He
said the Cambria company can make
rails within $3.50 OF the cost to the
trust. Schwab and the Pennsylvania
have mines OF wealth In
Cuban ore. He believed they will
make a better quality OF steel than
yet produced The only effect OF re-
moving the duty will be a few ship
loads OF rails landed at San Francisco
and Galveston. Foreign companies
cannot compefe for the American
market.

found desirable that occasional blood
tests be made. The problem was how
to get a sample of the subjects
blood without opening the chamber
and letting in the outside abr. II was
solved by running a rubber tube into
the chamber At the inside end OF
the tube there was a thimble-like ar
rangement, into which the subject is
told to thrust his finger quickly. The
operation leaves a drop OF blood in
the thimble, which can be withdrawn
without changing the inside air.
All food given the subject Is first
weighed and analysed. The heat,
respiratory gases and moisture are
also carefully measured. Circulation
of air in the chamber is by a special
pump, which measures the amount
sent in and at regular intervals draws
measured samples OF the outgoing air
for analysis.
Prof. Bettenkoefer, of Munich, sue
ceeded few years ago in building a
comparatively crude form of energy
machine, and at Bon. Germany, an
other crude style energy chamber has
been built.
