Fixing Legal Rate of Interest.

There was action of significance at
both ends of the capitol Monday, and
two busy and interesting sessions OF each
house held in consequence. The most
important legislation which has been at.
tempted for the past ten years, and has
been necessarily demanded, was that
eliminating in the passage by the house
after a practically all day debate of two
bills, the one fixing the contract rate OF
interest on money borrowed or nego-
table paper of any class at a rate not
to exceed eight per cent per annum. The
other was a bill which exempts from tax
alton all money loaned in the state,
whether by residents or non-residents at
a rate of interest not exceeding 6 per
cent per annum. As indicating the di.
vision of opinion on the six per cent. ex.
emption bill, the close vote of As to 43
is significant, while that on the contract
rate interest bill was nearly unanimous,
at II to IA. Both these bills are heart
lily endorsed by the Farmers Union, and
it is believed will become laws at this
session.

Amend Game Law.

The senate bill to amend the game re-
striction provisions of the code so as to
extend the time for shooting doves from
March l to July 1, created a good deal
of discussion, but the bill was passed
One. of the arguments in favor OF the bill
was that there are many men who are
fond of love shooting who supply farm
ers with wheat and furnish assistance in
its cultivation in order to provide feeding
grounds for these birds. If they are
shut off by law after March 1 this work
is all for naught, while the farmer fails
to get the benefit of the wheat so sown

of health for the prevention and cure o.
tuberculosis. There was an attempt
made to indefinitely postpone the bill
which proved abortive, and the bill wa:
passed with a few votes to spare.

has a record in having faithfully ser'ed
as secretary for United States senator

The first position of this sort hell by
him was with the late Senator Waltilal.

Mr.. Robinson was with him as secretary.
After Gen. Walthall's death Mr.. Robin
son secured a good position in the post
office department. But when the late
Hon. A. j. McLaurin came to the senate

Generous to the Schools.

A recapitulation of the appropriation
bills passed in both houses of the leg
islature and signed by the governor
shows a total of about $4,000 600. OF
this amount $2,956,0o0 is for the support
of the common schools for the ensuing
biennial period, an increase of more than
a quarter OF million dollars as compared

600 per annun, or $7,oO0,OO0 for the
biennial periodS and may 60 slightly u
excess of that figure.

F0RMANCEs IN RECENT TEST.
Bluejackets Are Learning to Swim in
the Waters Off
Guantanamo.

The battleship Louisiana exceeded all
her previous performances in a recent
test of speed in Cuban waters. where
the vessels of the Atlantic fleet are en-
gagged in maneuvers with the purpose OF
the art of naval warfare. Admiral
Schroeder, commandant of the fleet. In
his report to the Navy Department last
week, stated that preliminary estimate
showed that the Louisiana maintained an
average speed of 1892 knots an hour
In a four-hour full-power trial under
forced draft. This was accomplished
with about 1000 tons greater displace-
ment than was the case on her con-
tractors trial.
When the fleet entered Guantanamo bay
several weeks ago to begin the drills
4.O54 men were unable to swim. AS a
result of the instructions which have
been given in this respect 1925 Of these
have now qualified. and the lessons will
be continued for all men who cannot
swim fifty yards.
In a competitive match of small-arms
teams Of various ships last week the Mis-
souri, was declared winner, with the Ne
braska a close second. During the stay
of the fleet in Cuban waters over 5000
men have carried out a progressive course
of sman-arms firing, and about LOCO have
attained the qualification of marksman
or sharpshooter.

LIKELY TO AID ESTRADA
THIS COUNTRY OPPOSED TO
MORE SLAUGHTER.
Believed That Asylum Would Be
Offered to the Defeated Leader
We're His Life Threatened.

Will the United States offer asylum to
Gen. Estrada, the leader OF the "lost
cause in Nicaragua 1t is said that that
question is now engaging the attention
of the Secretaries of State and Navy. 1t
arises from the fact that Estrada Is in
exceedingly bad favor with the authori-
ties now in control in Nicaragua, who
hold him mainly responsible for the re-
fusal Of the United States government to
recognize the Madriz regime. 1t is ad-
mitted that Estrada lost considerable
prestige when the United States govern
ment declined to entertain his proposition
for the establishment of an independent
government in eastern Nicaragua with
himself as president.
According to latest reports he was still:
at Bluefields, attended by only faithful
few of his former soldiers. and his Ell
forts to start another movement against
the Managua government nave proven
futile Having no longer any substantial
support for the defense OF Blueneios, IL
is not likely that Estrada could offer a
successful resistance to an attack by
the military forces of Madriz. There are
indications that that revolutionary strong
hold will shortly fall into the possession
of the government forces
Whether Estrada will be included In
the general amnesty extended by Madriz
to the soldiers of the late revolutionary
army, or whether he and his principal
officers will be denounced as traitors 20
the government and treated accordingly,
are questions yet undetermined It is
strongly intimated. however. that the
United States authorities will oppose
further bloodshed in Nicaragua IL 1t can
be prevented and will give ESTRADA ana
his immediate party asylum on one OF
the American warships now in the harbor
of Bluefields If it is necessary to- save
them from the vengeance of the leaders
of the victorious party. There are two
United States warships at Bluenelds az
nresent the Tacoma and the Paducah
and one of them could be used In trans
porting the Estrada party to place OF
safety in the West Indies, or even to the
United States, IL found desirable. The
cruiser Des Moines left Cristobal yester-
day for Hampton roads.

RANK WITH REGULARS.
National Guard Officer in Uniform
Entitled to Consideration.

That an officer of the National Guard is
entitled to the same consideration as the
wearer of shoulder straps in the regu-
lar army is the declaration of the adj
jutant general Of Utah. He has sent out
circular letter reciting that the insignia
Of rank Of commissioned officer Of the
United States is prima facie guarantee
that the wearer is not only an officer, but
that he is also a scholar and a gentle
man. and there are but few places where
he is not cordially welcomed and ex-
tended every courtesy, but in the long
run he must, by his personality, make
the guarantee good.
Under existing military social and bust
ness law, an officer of the National
Guard stands on exactly the same foot
ing unless he shows that he is not en-
titled to it.
Says the adjutant general: Half life
time of conscientious work and endeavor
is hardly sufficient to give a man the
standing as a man OF honor and a gentle
man that the insignia of a commissioned
officer guarantees, as long as their wearer
makes good

Shot at Targets Despite Snakes and
Mosquitoes.

1t must be pretty hard to shoot at a

the Navy Department.
Ensign Morrison, who conducted the
target practice of the men on the gun
boat Callao at the naval range at Oiang-
apo says that it is the most dlmcuit
range that can be imagined, ana "neh
the men were not running through water
ankle deep or lying down in two inches
of soft red mud, they were beset with IN
sects and reptiles. and when the ground
was dry the timekeepers of the sk1rmlsh
runs were busy killing the snakes tnat
were crawling around the men lying on
the ground firing at the targets. Ihaee ~
nboons also added an element of excite
ment and uncertainty while the practice
was going on.
