CONGnASS MILL IGNORE
ROOSEVELT'S REQUEST

WASHINGTON, Jan S.-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation for an
appropriation 10 reimburse E. II. Harri-
man for the expenditure OF about g. 0oO. 900
by the Southern Pacific Railway compan-
nv, to control the overflow OF the Colora-
do river into Saltan Sink, a few years
ago. win be disregarded by congress now
appears probable
Hearings on this recommendation have
been conducted by a sub-commitee Of
the senate committee on claims. compos-
ed Of Senators Kean. Smoot and Martin.
The interests Of Mr.. Hartman have been
represented before the committee by
Maxwell Evarts, who has urged that the
Southern Pacific Railway company is en-
titled to reimbursement for its expendi-
ture- The presidents message is also be-
fore the subcommittee.
Considerable OPPOSITION TO making the
appropriation was raised by Senator
smoot on the ground that the Southern
Pacific Railway company spent most OF
the amount claimed in protecting its own
property and property Of the California
Development company in Southern Cali
fornia. which Is said to be controlled by
the Hartman interests. Instead of max
ing an appropriation OF a million or more
dollars In payment OF the amount which
President Roosevelt says is due Mr.. Har-
rfman. IL seems likely that the committee
will vote to send the claim to the court Of
claims for adjudication OF the conflicting
interests.

ly that today before the close of the sec
ond annual convention of the National
Model License league, concentration
through the league of all the forces of the

torney for the Sons of Washington of that
state, told the delegates at last nights
session of how Oklahoma, or a part Of
1t, was trying to secure re-submission Of
the liquor licensing statute. Among the
interesting features of late session yes
terday was a paper submitted by F. W..
Cook, of Evansville, called the Dean OF
American Brewers who suggested
slightly different methods from those ad-
vocated by the league.
Addresses by former Congressman F.
w. Ellis, of Greensboro, KY, and others,

BODY OF MISSING HUNTER
FOUND HIDDEN IN CABIN

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. pa special
from Perryville, Ark, says:
Hunters from Alpin discovered the de-
composed body of a young man barri-
cadod in a log cabin in Fourche river
bottoms. They gained admission by tear
ing off a portion of the roof. The youth
had been shot three times in the back of
the head with a revolver and the body
covered with corn shucks.
An investigation disclosed that Grover
Misner. a Van Buren,, Ark, boy, left home
December 1 with Tom Hogue, a trapper,
to spend a portion of the winter hunting.
Relatives had heard nothing since from
the boy. Hogue and Misner are said to
have remained a short time in the cabin.
The remains are supposed to be young
Misner's. Misner carried a sum of mon
ey with him when he left Van Buren,.
Sheriff Oliver succeeded today in locat-
ing Hogue near Mansfield and caused his
arrest. Relatives of Misner from Van
Buren, are on the way to the scene. Should
the remains be identified it is believed it
will be unsafe to bring HOgue back to
this county.

GIRL TO FIGURE
IN MURDER TRIAL

COLUMBUS. Miss, Jan. 25.-Miss Lett
tia King stin holds the center of the
stage in the Smith-Laurent tragedy. her
prominence having been emphasized to-
day by the recent arrival OF her brother,
H c. King. OF Florence. Ala
A man whose name is McFadden, and
who was sent here by the Simmons Hard
ware Co. to work up evidence, was at
Miss Kings home on Wednesday, the
day of the second preliminary hearing.
and called up Attorney McConnico over
the long-distance telephone while the trial
was in progress. What McFadden told the
attorney could not be learned. but IL is
said to have been something about a
letter written by Smith to Miss King.
in which endearing terms were used.
The telephone incident did not come to
Hight until today. and when asked con-
corning the trip TO Miss Kings home
McFadden acknowledged having been
there and admitted having called Attor-
ney McConnicO up over the telephone to
tell him something about the letter. but
declined TO divulge the contents OF this
letter.
II Is said Miss King VIII certainly ap-
pear as a witness for the prosecution
when the case comes up for trial in the
circuit court

los, NOT so, MILES
RIDDEN BY ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-It WASH
ninety-eight miles that the president rode
in seventeen hours the other day. It's
all a mistake. Doubtless at first blush
It would be a matter of satisfaction to
the critics of the president to know
that he didn't ride any such distance in
seventeen hours.
1t seems that some of the army off,
GERS had doubts about that ninety-eight-
mIle story an dthey decided on an accu-
rate test. They went over the exact
route with a tested cyclometer and meas
ured the distance with the utmost care
and accuracy.
1t wasn't ninety-eight miles at ALL In
stead it was 1OS statute miles.
In explanation of the error it is said
that the earlier computations were based
on the distance from the "chain bridge"
across the Potomac more than four
miles from the white house.
The president rode to and from this
bridge and the measurement adds ten
miles to the figure given out on the day
of the ride.

RIDER TRIAL
NEARING ITS END

UNION CITY, Tenn, Jan. 25.-The
Marshall night rider trial is nearing an
end. The prosecution will more than
likely complete their evidence today ana
if the defense adops the course expected
the argument win be begun Wednesday
morning.
In the trial a few weeks ago the de-
tense was an alibi which was expected
in this trial but since several of the
states witnesses have testified that
Marshall did all he could to prevent
the murder, the defense may rely on this
to acquit him.
Warren Morris who, by his confession,
was the official poet of the night riders
was the first witness this morning. He
had not seen the defendant at any OF
the meetings of the band but had heard
he was a member. When Rankin was
killed he heard one of the night riders,
interceding for him, but did not know
who 1t was.
Nose Barkis, probably the only menu
Der of his race who has taken the night
rider oath, was the second witness this
morning Barkis is an Assyrian living IN
Hickman, KY, where he is engaged in
the mercantile business
In his indifferent English he told the
jury how he, for fear of his property
would be destroyed, had Joined the out
laws and of the two meetings he at
tended. He knew nothing of Ed Mar
shalrs connection with them. He was
baoIy frightened while on the stand and
seemed greatly relieved when told that
he could go back home.
Tried To Prevent Killing
According to the testimony of Ethel
bert Rogers, who was called next, there
were thirty-five men who participated in
the murder of Captain Rankin. He and
Marshall live within short distance of
each other and frequently went together
to the rendezvous of the band at Wal
nut Log.
Marshall and did everything we could
to keep them from killing Rankin, and
asked Garrett Johnson to let me take
them to Hickman in my buggy, but he
did not answer me-" said the witness.
On cross-examination he said that he
and Marshall both objected to the killing
Of the Walker negroes at Hickman and
were ridiculed by Fehringer, because they
tried to prevent II.
Attorney General Caldwell was in the
court room this morning for the first time
during this trial. He is very weak yet
and will not take part in the trial at
present.

ITALY NEEDS FUNDS
FOR 100000 HOMELESS

ROME, Jan. H.-Italy is confronted
with a grave problem. the caring for the
100000 persons made homeless by the
earthquake of last month in Sicily and
Calabria, and who have dispersed not only
to the interior of their native provinces,
but have gone in great numbers to Naples
and other of the large cities of the coun-
try.
At present II is estimated 1t is costing
100000 a day to meet the simplest ne
cessities of the poor, a sum which neither
international charity nor the state can
long continue to bear.

BOARD MAY
USE SCHOOL FUNDS?
PENAL SYSTEM WILL NOT HAVE
ANY FUNDS AVAILABLE AFTER
APRIL 4, WHEN CONVICT
LEASE EXPIRES.

Shall the state prison department ap-
propriate to its own expenses during the
three quarters of 1909 from April 1 on,
s112,5OO from the convict lease money not
yet apportioned, and thereby keep that
money from the county schools and roads
of the state?
No provision has yet been made, and
no one seems willing to accept the re-
sponsibility of saying just how it will be
made, or when. for paying the expenses
of the penitentiary department OF the
state after the lease law expires on March
the 18th.
In 1907 the appropriation act was passed
which gave to the prison department $loO,-
600 annually for its expenses during 1908
and 1863, the money to be taken from the
revenue of convict Teasing. Whatever
balance remained after the expenses OF
the penitentiary department had been pro-
vided for, the bill stipulated, would be
distributed among those counties not
working convicts, for use for school or
road purposes, or both, in the discretion
of grand juries.
Fut the lease law was killed at the
last session Of the legislature, and after
March 3lst there will be no source or
revenue for payment of the prison de-
partment's expenses, except the state
near-beer taxes, amounting to probably
500. 600. From the convict lease funds the
state must buy the new prison farm.
This will entail, according to estimate,
about 100000, for purchasing and equip
ping the farm. The Office of the prison
commission must be supported. The re-
formaTory at Milledgeville must be pro-
vided for. The state further wants to es-
tablish a new reformatory. which would
cost about $4,000. All these expenses must
be met.
1t probably means that no money what
ever will go to the county schools and
roads for the last quarter of 1908 or the
first of 1909 after which the lease sys-
TEN ends.

AMERICA TOO BIG
TO BE LOVED NOW

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Patriotism of the
good old kind is Anticipated and
practically worthless in these modern
times, according to Francis w. Parker
in an address last night to the Sons OF
the American Revolution.
At least this is the case in the United
States, he said, because the United States
is too big to be loved. He declared that
no American loves his land in the same
way that the Swiss and the Norwegians
love their mountains.
Neither" continued the speaker,
have we Americans any dynasties to
love and around which to center our love
of country. We can't love the house or
Roosevelt, or the house OF Deneen, or or
]. Hamilton Lewis"

AMERICA AND FRANCE
WATCHING VENEZUELA

PARIS, Jan. 23.-The United States and
France are keeping each other fully adj
vised as to the progress of the negotia-
tions of each government with Venezuela
looking to a settlement of all outstanding
difficulties. "a
France, after the settlement of the
French Gable Co. controversy, and the re-
establishment of French consulates
throughout the republic, is disposed to
follow the example of the United States
and refer to arbitration such issues as
cannot otherwise be adjusted. The nego-
tiations between the cable company and
a representative of Jose de Jesus Paul,
the special envoy of Venezuela, are pro-
ceeding during Senior Paurs absence in
Holland.
The archives of Venezuelan consuls in
France, which have been in possession of
American consuls, have been returned to
the former Venezuelan consuls. This &C
ton follows the return of their exequa-
turs to the French consuls in Venezuela.

VENGEANCE is SWORN
ON SUSPECTED TRAITOR

PARIS. Jan. Pm. Rubanovitch, edi-
tor of the Russian revolutionary organ
published in Paris, reviewing the re-
markable history Of Azef, the head of the
fighting organization, a Russian Social
ist-Revolutionary party who had been
condemned to death by his colleagues
on the charge Of being a paid govern
ment spy, maintains that for fifteen
years Azef has been engaged in selling
the secrets of the organization to the
Russian political police, while he was
ostensibly one of the most active OF
revolutionary leaders.
He claims that Azef had Father Gapon
killed and says that although Azef Is
now hiding under the protection of the
Russian authorities, he cannot escape the
revolutionaries, who never fail to wreak
their vengeance on a traitor.

TAFT'S EXTRA CONGRESS-
WON'T SIT VERY LONG

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Bank
head, of Alabama, has expressed the
belief that the extra session Of con-

not last longer than August l.
THAT seems to be the general idea
among Republicans with whom 1 have
talked" he said. None Of us desire
to remain here during the hot days of
August"
"Wfl the Democrats frame a minority
tariff bill, instead of merely Offering
amendments to the Republicar meas
ure?'
"Our party will have a bill of it1- own,"
he replied.
