HOLLInGSuORTH
LAUGHED DOWN

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Congress
and Speaker Cannon turned down with
a laugh Congressman Hollingsworth's
attempt to bring up again the matter
of the Davis picture on the silver ser
vice to be presented to the battleship
Mississippi.
IAN ass of the first magnitude"
perhaps one of the Sherman bulbs,
who robbed defenseless men and wo-
men," contemplate little whelp,' a
political nonenity from Ohio" "a pale
faced luminary," "a pusillanimous
pigmy from Ohio" were some of the
characterizations of Mr.. Hollingsworth
of Ohio, in editorials which he had
read in the house of representatives
as a special privilege affecting his
resolution recently offered protesting
against the portrait of Jefferson Da-
Wis on the silver service to be present
ed to the battleship Mississippi.
The editorials accused him of way
ing the bloody shirt" and appeared IN
the Daily Clarion-Ledger, of Jackson
Miss, April 80, the Southern Sentinel
Ripley, Miss, May 6; the Shreveport
Caucasian, Shreveport, La, May A
and other papers, name not given.
The reading Of the editorials caused
considerable commotion and at times
moved the members to great laughter
Later Messrs. Bartlett, of Georgli
and Fitzgerald, of New York, objected
to further numbering up the recor'
and demanded that the speaker rul
on the question of the privilege.
In an elaborate opinion Speaker Car
non held that Mr.. Hollingsworth ha
not been attacked in his represents
tive capacity and he was not perm
ted to proceed further.

STATEWIDE MAKES
A Big SHORTAGE
This Is Due to Falling Off in Collec-
tions of Privilege Taxes Caused by
Passage of Prohibition Bill.

JACKSON, May 1S.-One result oil
prohibition is shortage IN
the state treasury. There will be a
falling off in the collections of state
privilege tax this month of $4,000,
due to the elimination of the privi-
leges of the saloons brought about by
the state wide prohibition law.
If there is to be a recoup to make
up for this it will be from a general
increase in collections and not from
any single source. In the meantime
the amount of cash on hand in the
abe amount of cash on hahd
in the various state repositories Is
steadily going downward, to be swelled
only by the coney collected from priv
ileges this month and paid in during
the early DAYS of June. These usually
| amount to about 100000 but will be
this year less than 100000 unless
! there is natural increase in the taxes
collected from other lines of business

PRESIDENT IS
FOR A BIG NAVY
HE ENDORSES POSITION OF SEC
RETARY MEYER.
Congress May Talk About Economy
But Nevertheless Several More
Dreadnouehts Will Be Built.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-That Con
gress will have put up to it a big
program of naval construction next
fall is looked on as a certainty. De
spite all the talk of economy in gov
eminent expenditures, it is considered
certain that President Taft will urge
congress the next regular session to
appropriate for at least two great
batleships of the Dreadnough type
in addition to the usual list of smaller
warships.
The speech of Secretary of the Navy
Meyer at Boston, in which he spoke
out strongly for two great battleship
fleets, one in the Atlantic and one In
the Pacific, is looked upon here as
forerunner of what the administra-
ton will stand for in the way of
naval building policy. Mr.. Meyer I'M
doubtedly spoke with the sanction OF
President Taft and not until he had
conferred with Mr.. Taft. The speech
IS viewed here, was intended to serve
notice that this administration would
be as earnest as the Roosevelt admin
istration would for the upbuilding of a
greater navy.
The demands for economy at the
next session of congress will be siren
nous, but it is apparently not the
wish of Mr.. Taft to permit the navy tf
suffer in consequence of the need fol
tightening the purse strings.
If President Taft carries out his in
tention to go to the Pacific coast the
: coming summer, it is likely he VII
take occasion in some of his speeches
there to indorse the policy of a great
err navy and leave no doubt that n

MUCH ACTIVITY In
STEEL REPORTED

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Large orders
for finished steel products were placed
during last week and the finishing
mills of the independent interests, as
we'll as of the steel corporation sub
salaries have further increased ca
pacity.
The finishing mills generally are
running from 40 to 80 per cent. of the
capacity, the rail mills being the only
important exceptions. The latter are
running scarcely 40 per cent, OF ca
pacity. AS heretofore, the most nota-
BILE examples of activity have been in
wire products, structural and fabri-
Gated steel. but there have also been
satisfactory orders for steel pipe, steel
mates and soft steel bars.
1t is understood that about so per
cent. of the agricultural implement
manufacturers have closed contracts
for bars up to January l, and many
of them for the year ending 1910. Ihe
contracts aggregate about 100000 tons
Since May l the fabricated steei
contracts placed have aggregated 10
600 tons and as much more is pending
Rail contracts placed during the week
have aggregated $4,000 tons.
In pig Lon the principal feature
of interest was the placing of orders
for $4,000 tons of basic iron by east
ern steel works. There has been
fair tonnage of foundry contracts
maillv in small lots. Total sales O
foundry grades have been about 25,OOC
tons in the New York, New Enslan'
and Philadelphia territory.

JOHNsON's FIRST QUESTION.

DEBORAH, Iowa, Republican,: Our
readers mostly know that the Hon.
Martin N. johnson when he was
resident of this county was a student
at the Fayette college and afterwards
graduated from the law department
course after Martin graduated he was
anxious to commence the practice or
his profession and incidentally earn
some money. Consequently he made
application for admission to the Win
neshiek county bar. At that time 1t
was the rule that no matter what a
young man might have in the way Of
knowledge or certificates or gradua-
ton he must be examined by some To-
ca practitioner. Upon Mr.. johnson S
application, the court appointed Sen
act A. Upper to conduct the exam1-
nation Mr.. Topper was one OF the
most dignified gentlemen ever seen,
a man of austere mien, who knew
nothing about humor or the meaning
of joke. These examinations were
by no means serious affairs, in fact
they were for the most part purely
perfunctory. All the court desired
was to ascertain the fact the applican
had studied law and intended to prac-
tice. An appointment was made with
Mr.. Johnson to meet Judge" Tup-
was there promptly on time WITH
shaking knees and anxious to have
the ordeal over. To him it was a
very serious and important moment.
When Mr.. Johnson reached Mr.. Tup-
per's Office he was seated and the ex-
animation began. OF course there
came the usual sterotyped questions,
such as what is law?" etc. Martin
answered all these satisfactorily.
Finally Mr.. Topper adjusted specta-
cles and looking sternly at the appli-
cant and shaking his finger at him
in a menacing manner said:-
"Mr. Johnson, suppose a client
should bring a real estate mortgage
to you for foreclosure what would
be your first proceeding?"
Martin N. was perplexed. He was

scared. Finally after a moments
hesitation he blurted out:

fee."
Mr.. Topper jumped to his feet and
going over to Mr.. Johnson grasped
him by the hand and exclaimed: "Mr.
Johnson, allow me to congrat ulate
YOU You thoroughly understand the
Fundamental principles Of law. There
is no need of any further examina-
