The Parade on the
Fourth Would Have
Been Best Eue,

Many expressions Of regret are
stlll heard over the bad weather of
the Fourth which spoiled the elab-
crate preparations made by the
school children and their friends for
a. rational and spectacular celebra-
ZION OF the nations birthday.
Some of the floats which were to
nave been in the parade sped over
the town and the many people gath
cred on the streets had a chance to
see the best OF the pageants which
would have composed the big parade.
The float containing the representa-
ton OF the original thirteen states
was good. Each one of the thirteen
young ladies represented a state and
We're dressed to suit each colony.
Over 1000 people were to have TAX

mad not interfered the largest par
ade in the history Of the city would
nave raversed the streets. Young
ladies in bright colored dresses
walked the streets all morning from
The schools in the northern section
of the city en- route to Mercer school
where the parade was to be massed
before starting.
At few minutes before noon it
was seen that it would be impossi-
bic to start the parade, so that fea-
turc Of the day was called off. In
the afternoon the youngsters gath
cred at the different schools and
many games were played.
On account Of the bad weather
the baseball game between teams
from tile Union and the Lincoln
schools was called off, hut the game
Will be played ut a later date and
the prizes will be given.
Balloons were sent up at different
schools and altogether a good time
was enjoyed by all.

GllIllel'''S Return
H-AfECIED TO THROW LIGHT ON
HIS QUEER DISCHARGE
FROM ARMY

Lieutenant David j. Gilmcr. of the
Fhlllpplne Scouts, has been honorab-
~ discharged from the army estab-
hshment. The following excernt
from Special Orders, No, 124, issued
by the War Department. under date
OF May q, tells the story in brief:
BY direction Of the President,
Flrst Lieutenant David ]. Gilmer.
Philippine Scouts, having been found
professionally disqualified for pro-
to the grade. of captain by
an examining board, and his, dis
the service having been
recommended by said Board and nv
the commanding general, Philippines
Division, is honorably DISCHARGED
from the service, to. take effect Nav
20, 1910.
Ehls is rather queer ending of
case that has attracted no small
degree Of attention in recent months;
both at the hands Of the War De-
partment and the public at large.
some time ago, it will be recalled
Lieut.. Gilmer was accused of some
lnfractlon Of the military law. Hay-
ing been found guilty by a court
martial, he was recommended for
dismissal from the army. An appeal
to the Secretary Of War resulted in
mitigation Of his sentence to a
reduction Of twenty-five numbers in
his rank. The case was then carried
TO President Taft, who after CAREFUL
~ reviewing it, decided that a re-
duction Of fifteen numbers was suf-
lclent punishment for the offense
alleged. 1t is an open secret that
the lenienCy Of the President result
ted from the friendly activities of
DR.. Booker r. Washington, Judge II.
Terrell, John G. Dancy and others,
who pointed out Lieut.. Gilmer's ex-
cellent record as soldier and urged
That he be given chance to redeem
himself from any possible error Of
Judgment that he may have mad
Vertcntly committed. The particu-
lars In this latest phase Of the situa-
ton, eliminating in the honora BE
discharge Of Lieut. Gilmery, arc not
available at this time. THE. whole
truth will doubtless come out upon
his return to '1fhc States"
Lieut.. Gilmcr entered the Third
North Carolina Volunteers at the
beginning of the Spanish-American
War. Upon being mustered out at
the close Of the hOstilities, he served
for a period az Il clerk in the office
Of the Recorder Of Deeds at Wash ing
ton, and finally re-cntered the army
as q second lieutenant Of the Phil
iDDinc Scouts, rising later to the first
lieutenanCy. He was regarded as a
capable officer, and his record prior
to the present difficulty, was without
a flaw

SEARCH FOR PROFITS
 ON FOOD PRODUCTS
INSTITUTED BY THE DEPART
 MENT OF AGRICULTURE.
To Ascertain the Cause of Increased
 Cost of Living.

Washington, Jan. 3.-"We have al- ready discovered the farmer is not getting exorbitaSt profits out of the beef he raises" said Secretary Wilson in discussing high prices for food SUD- plies today. "I have no doubt that the same condition prevails in most other lines of farm products.
 The department of agriculture has agents in every state and every county and they have been ordered to report on the cost of production and returns on the sales of food products. As fast as we receive these figures We will compare them with the prices the same products bring in cities where they are consumed. We will then make the facts public.
 We intend to bring out the truth, irrespective of whom it hurts or whom it benefits. 1 am convinced that the public is compelled to pay great deal more for nearly everything it eats than it should. There is. however, ample excuse for some increases in the cost of living. The farming area is not keeping pace with the demand for food stuff and the cities seem to have more attractions for the laboring man than the rural communities"

GOVERNMENT MOVE
 AGAINST N|GHT.-R|OERS
THE ATTACK TO BE MADE ON
 BURLEY SOCIETY
Which Is Believed to Be at the Bottom
 of the Violence.

Washington. Jan. S.-The govern ment is preparing to go after the night riders in the tobacco districts of Ken Lucky and Tennessee by beginning proceedings against the Burley To- bacco Society. Convinced that that society is q combination in violation of the Sherman antitrust law, the department of justice is Investigating it's operations.
 Agents have recently been sent to the tobacco growing regions to make inquiry concerning the methods of the association and they have reached the conclusion that the organization is connected with the depredations of the night riders there. The department is undecided as to whether the proceed ings shall be civil or criminal.
 The Burley Society is a strong or ganiZation composed largely of farm CTS and it is believed that the gov ernment's action will create a sen sation. It is contended by members of the society that they had been forced to band theinselves together to resist the operations of the Amer ican Tobacco company The members of the society charge that the com pany has systematically depressed the market for Kentucky and Tennessee and kept prices down to the lowest point.

THE FALL OF GREYToWN
Followed By the Last Step, the Advance Upon and Capture of the Capital To Onlookers the Task Seems Easy.

Washington. Jan. 3.-While no off cial information had been received late tonight concerning the forward move- ment of the Nicaraguan revolutionary army. the news of it when conveyed to the Central American diplomats was received with great interest The present move of Estrada is recognized as a master stroke.
 When Greytown is taken, as I be- lieve it will be-" said one. the San Juan river will be opened to Lake Mi caragua, and the two branches of Es- trada's army then may join forces at Lake Nicaragua for an advance on Managua.''
 In the opinion of the Nicaraguans here, Madriz has only a ragged force left. and that is dispirited by the flight of Zelaya. Estrada's troops, on the other hand. have been rested after the fight at Rama, and are eager to press the success home. For this req son Castrillo, the representative of the provisional government. believes the coming conflict will clear the way for a direct attack upon the capital"

The recommendation for the court, however, will remain
 The railroad presidents objected most seriously also to the proposed restrictions of the issuance of stocks, bonds and short term notes. Mir Taft will recommend that no such secur- ities be issued in the future without the approval of the interstate com merce commission. The railroads claim that such a restriction would seriously interfere with their borrowing ability
 This amendment is designed to pre- vent over-issues of stocks and bonds and the custom known as watering" If adopted, it is said, the amendment will also put an end to what is known as speculative construction" The railroad presidents objected to the pro- prosed amendments giving shippers the right of selecting a through route and giving the interstate commerce commission the right to initiate com plaints and hold up new rate classi- fications.

AMERICAN BARTENDER
 STARTS RACE WAR
Refused to Serve Drinks to Cuban
 Negro Congressman.

Havana, Jan. 3.-A strong race feel ing has been engendered by some trouble which arose at the Hotel Plaza. an American house. bv the re- fusal of the bartender to serve two negro congressman. It resulted in riot which. although none were seri- ously injured. made necessary the calling out of the police reserves. To- day tne clerk hotel was fined SI0.
 The decision of the court tO infiict minor penalty was greeted with strong expressions of disapproval. After the adjournment the two negro congress- men, heading a procession of 400 ne groes. marched to the hotel crying, Viva Maceo," "Viva Patria." They entered the bar and demand sd drinks which were served wisl no further protest.
 The incident has caIse5 much ex- citcment and there are grave fears of serious race clash. Many Cubans are sy,npathizing with the attitude Of the American hotel management. To- night a strong guard of police is be- ing kept about the place.

MAN AND WOMAN HELD
 FOR SH|VELY MURDER
Pending the Clearing Up of Mystery
 Surrounding the Case.

Los Angeles, Jan. 3.-The coroner's jury in the case of Morgan Shively, a Pacific Electric conductor killed early Sunday at the home of G. A. Stone of San Gabriel. returned a yer dict today recommending that MT. and Mrs. Stone, who are now in the custody of the sheriff, be held to the superior court. Shively's death resulted from the severing of the ulna artery, caused by knife wound.
 Many mysterious circumstances con nected with the case remain to be cleared. That all the clothes Shively wore before he leaped nude from a window of the Stone residence were destroyed by fire in the kitchen range was established. but the reason for their burning is unknown.
 The sheriff conducted a searching in- vestigation today, but he refused to give the result.
 Shively came here from Lincoln, Nebraska. where his family is well known. He was a student of the Uni versity of Nebraska The discovery of the tragedy followed the hysterical shouting of Stone and his wife at the door of a neighbor on Sunday morning. They declared that they had had a desperate fight with robbers in their kitchen. It was very evident that they were right in their declaration that there had been a desperate fight. The furniture had been broken and blood was scattered everywhere.

Mexico City, Jan. 3.-Mexico Nuevo today published a letter from Fran cisco Vigil. representative of the pro- visional government at Bluefields.
 It follows: Among many assertions Zelaya has made since shis arrival at Salina Cruz, there is one which says the revolution in Nicaragua, which caused the downfall of his absolutist policy, was supported by the United States.
 T. in the name. and with instruc- tions of the provisional government at Bluefields. and for the sake of my country, defy Zelaya to publish the proofs. of his assertions and, in case '-e can not, I point him out to the Mexican people as a calumniator."
 Zelaya said he had in his posses sion positive proof of the participation of the American marines in the revo- lutionary battles.
