ARMOUR TALKS MEAT

5000, 900 Less Hogs Slaughtered

Chicago.@J. Ogden Armour, at his
beautiful country home, Armouria, dis
cussed the present prices of provisions,
the cause and the remedy.
You can eliminate the meat packers
from the situation entirely" said Mr.. Ar
mour, "and the high prices will remain.
The prices are high by the laws of ma
ture and natural laws cannot be changed.
The best we can do is to comply with
them. Increase production and prices
will fall.
The situation as regards the cost of
living has become serious in this coun-

at the rate of nine cents a pound. Think
of that. Such prices as these have been

FIFTY MILLION ROYALTY
WOULD PAY THIS SUM FOR
COAL PRIVILEGES.
On Eve of Ballinger Probe Startling
Proposition Is Made-Would
Net $2O, 900 an Acre.

Washington.-A new and somewhat
sensational factor appeared suddenly
Tuesday to add to the intensity to the
already sufficiently excited situation
over the Alaskan coal lands, on the eve
of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation.
John L. Ballaine, of Seattle, said to bc
the largest individual property owner in
Alaska, made a proposition in writing to
the senate committee on territories, offer.
ing to the government a royalty of fifty
cents a ton on coal mined, for the lease
of $4,000 acres of some of the choicest
coal lands in Alaska, in the Katalla and
Matanuska districts. Such a tonnage
royalty would net to the government,
Mr.. Ballaine claims, amounts as high as
So, 0OO, 900 per hundred acres.
This proposal contemplated a radical
departure from past practices i'll the
governments disposal of the Alaskan
coal lands, and it comes avowedly to do
battle with any proposition embodied in
a bill which has been prepared, but not
yet introduced, designed to permit the
sale or lease of such lands at a rate of
$40 per acre.
1t is said that the general features of
the plan have the approval of officials
high in the administration and of in1u-
entail members of both houses of con
gress, including some of the prominent
insurgents and Delegate Wickersham of
Alaska.

ASK BAILEY TO DEFEND LEE
Texas Senator Will Defer to Vir-
ginians to Answer Hepburn.

Washington.-From Texas and other
Southern States Senator Joseph w.
Bailey is receiving kilograms inquiring
if he intends to answer Senator Hepburn
of Idaho, who offered objection to the
acceptance of the statute of Gen. Robert
Z. Lee, which has been placed in Statu-
airy Hall of the capitol of the United
States as one of Virginia's contributions
to the Hall of Fame.
By common impulse, Senator Bailey
seems to be looked upon as the one to
administer the rebuke which the Idaho
senator has merited for his own display
of bitter sectional spirit toward the
South and the survivors of the COnfed-
eracy. Senatorial courtesy e%nioins Sena-
tor Bailey to defer his own feelings in
the premises to Senators Daniel and Mar
tin, of Virginia, both of whom are ex-
pected to address the senate in reply to
Senator Hepburn. Senator Daniel has
not been in the senate since the Christ
mas holidays, and the impression is that
he has devoted some of his time during
his absence from the chamber to prep
aration of a speech in answer to the
Idaho senator. No man in the senate
is more capable of presenting a just pic
ture of Gen. Lees privte and military
than Senator Daniel, who is one of
the surviving heroes of the Army of
Northern Virginia.

BELLE SACRIFICES SKIN.
Saves Life of Child Burned Almost
to Death.

Atlanta, Cain order to save the life
of little Estelle Williams, Miss Alberta
Lively, a beautiful 2O-year-old society
girl, allowed great strips of skin to be
torn from her body and grated on the
little girl.
Estelle Williams was terribly burned,
the injuries refused to heal, and the sur
geons decided the child would die unless
fresh skin was grated on the burned
places.
Volunteers were called for and Miss
Lively, among others, offered. She was
chosen because of her Astounding vitality.
Miss Lively was put on the operating
table, chloroformed and enough of her
skin removed to cover the burns of the
little girl. The operation was entirely
successful, the healthy skin of Miss
Lively is healing the burns of the little
girl and Miss Lively is recovering. Both
Miss Lively and the little girl are on adj
joining cots in the hospital, and a great
affection has sprung up between them.
A Carnegie medal will be asked for Miss
Lively.
