Los Angeles. Cal, March 6.-Char-
lie Rhinehart, u 10.year-old boy of

structlng double-track railroad

satisfied until 1t has another Try In
the field with Japan
Admiral Evans scouts the idea that
the school controversy In California
will lead to war with Japan
"You might as we'll talk about au
attack on a Chinese laundry causing
war with that nation" said he. why
should Japan seek war with the Unit
cd States? Japan certainly has no
right TO Interfere in that states reg
ulation OF its schools.
"Of course. the terms OF our treaty
with Japan should be observed Roose-

81 don't believe the possibility oil

lady, received from said lady. who be-
lieved she was conversing In conf
dence between pastor and communi-
cant. certain statements regarding her

CANNON
BUSY
Committee on Rules,
With Two Vacancies,
Claims His Attention

Washington, March 6.-Speaker Can
non Is puzzling his head in the inter.
i'm between sessions OF congress over
the personnel OF the next committee
on rules. The appointment of this
committee Will be one of the first
duties the speaker OF the incoming
congress Will have to perform, unless
the insurgents" muster enough
strength to form an alliance with tho
Democrats to amend the rules SO aa
TO provide for the election of a COM
mittee on rules. Speaker Cannon does
not believe they will. and so he Is
considering some Of the problems that
may vex him in the days to come.
There are two vacancies In this
powerful committee. Vice President
Sherman has just left it, and so has
Senator-elect Williams OF Mississippi.
Many members believe that the choice
OF successor TO Mr.. Sherman lies
between Representative Tawney.
chairman OF the committee on appro-
priations, and Representative Mann,
of Illinois. Although Mr. Sherman
came from New York, the position Is
claimed by western members. Mr..
Sherman succeeded General Grosven.
or of Ohio, and the western delega-
tons claim it is high time that tho
| plum be returned to them. While the
| speaker is a western man, it is urged
as customary that the other two Re.
publican members of the committee
| be chosen. one from the east and the
other from the west. Representative
| Dalzell of Pennsylvania is the eastern
| representative. N
Mr.. Tawney's rise in the house has
been phenomenal. He has a powerful
| influence on the floor and 1t Is urged
that he would be great strength to
| the committee. Most Of all, the speak
| er desires parliamentarian who can
| defend any measure on the floor OF
| the house In an impressive and per
| suasive way. Representative Mann
| fills the position very we'll, but the
objection to him is that he comes from
| the speakers own state.
| Mcssrs. Townsend and DENLY. Smith
of Iowa, Currier of New Hampshire
and Foster of Vermont, are regarded
as possibilities.
The selection Of the new Democratic
! members probably will be left to Mi
| nority Leader Clark,
1t has been regarded as a desirable
| move to have the minority leader that
member, but Mr. Clark cannot take
the position as Mr.. Dearmon, OF the
same state. Missouri, remains in the
committee A plan has been devised
by which Mr.. Fitzgerald. regarded AS
one of the best parliamentarians on
the Democratic side, will become the
minority's representative on the conf
| mittee. AS yet the plan has not been
approved by all interests in it.

NO NEW RECRUITS
ARE B { ING
ACCEPTED
FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS UNCLE
SANS RANKS ARE FULL.
This Condition is Due Largely to In
crease in Pay of the Enlisted
Men.

Los Angeles, March 6.-For the
first time IN many years, Uncle Sam
is not seeking men for his standing
army. II is now recruited up TO It's
full complement Of 77,753 men.
I'VE arc not accepting any new re-
cruits for enlistment" said Captain
w. P. Graves, Goth United States in
fantry. in charge of the local recruit
ing station.
Two weeks ago orders were issued
to the recruiting stations throughout
the country to discontinue advertis-
ing. About week ago. orders were
sent out not TO accept any new re-
cruts and since that time, the work
of the local station has been confined
to re-eplistment-
When asked to what he attributed
this filing of the ranks. Captain
Graves said II was due largely to the
increase in pay OF enlisted men. and
particularly 10 the retired pay.

RECIPE FOR POUNO-CAkE
IN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE

Chicago, March 6.-Charles NJ. Stu
art. recently appointed editor of the
Northwestern Christian Advocate. has
had his first tussle, with the printers
devil"
In the last weeks Issue of his pub
lication appeared the following ex-
change clipping. the same being a
recipe for pound-cake:
Cream together one cup of butter
and three cups Of sugar Add the
yolks Of five eggs and beat the whole
Until it is very light Then stir in
one wineglass of whisky, one nutmeg.
grated, and then one cup OF milk and
when these ingredients are well mix
ed beat in four cups Of flour" ETC..
etc.
The Advocate being devoted to the
antl-liquor cause, a protest immedi-
ately rose from the subscribers.
Mr.. Stuart lost no time In preparing
another which appeared in this week s
issue. Meanwhile he had explained
verbally that the recipe crept into
the columns without the knowledge of
himself or his associates. About as
nearly as he could fix the responsible
ity. he declared, 1t rested upon the
printers devil"
The printed explanation is as fol-
lows:
THE appearance of the clipping
was sheer inadvertence, which the
editor regrets as much as does any
OF his readers. The Northwestern
has for over fifty years been con,
sistent and inslstent against the use
of intoxicants and against the traffic !;
it is not likely to stultify It's record
even in the interest of the toothsome-
ness Of pound-cakc."
