Department of Education.

The District Federation meeting in Helena November Is, was attended by Mrs. Walter German, president of the Cosmos Club, Mrs. John I. Jones, dele. gate, and Mrs. W. II. Alley, of Forrest City.
 The meeting had many unusually pleasant features. Mrs German, with her usual charming grace, in few well chosen words, spoke of the werk of the A. F. W. C. These ladies gave the club a most interesting and in. structive report, and incidentally spoke of the work of the 4. F. W. C. along educational lines. with especial reference to the scholarships and the Permanent Endowment fund. For the benefit of our splendid young men and young women We have a young lady at the State University on our Federation scholarships. 'The first call is for education, not only, be- cause we are pledged, but because there the need is greatest" It is an open secret in Arkansas, but don't breathe it outside. that So per cent of our white men and 10 per cent of our white women can neither read or write. Have we time for self culture clubs when the need along educational lines is so great?
 We must not only work for better common school education, but must stimulate interest in the universities. We want university men and women for teachers, not mere high school graduates. We are proud of our scholarships. and Of the wonderful in- hueuce these scholarships had on the lives of two young men and two young women. They have been as the touch of geni, opening up 10 them mar vicious possibilities and a wondrous future. CoR SECRETARY.

Washington, June 13.-(Special.)- .)-No political diving rod can point to- the word harmony in the republican party say Aldrich and Hale, who having decided to retire to private life appear to be the only happy per- sons in the organization. The resentment among the three or four factions in which the organization has been ripped makes it seem almost impossible to reunite them. Many republicans who have almost aban- doned hope of success at the approaching congressional and state elections say that if Mir. Roosevelt comes back and gets behind the party and. the Taft admins tration there may be chance to wiz. But before this can be successful the dif- ference between the regulars and the in surgents will have to be settled or com promised.

BEATS RECORD MADE
 BY l.. PAULHAN FOR HEIGHT

cording to the register of the instru- ments. announced by the official time keeper, Brookins was 1900 feet in the air at the end of seven minutes. He had risen to this point in a wide circle.
 The whir or the propellers was then lost to the throng of spectators, and the aeroplane was but a cross floating in the sky.
 Continuing his circles, Brookins rose steadily at speed estimated at 60 miles an hour. Thirty minutes after he had started he reached the highest altitude and began the rescent, maneu- verfng at lower and lower levels, until at height of 100 feet he shut of his motor and glided easily to the ground alongside the starting rail.
 The Wright brothers and the other aviators gathered around Brookina. cheering with the spectators as he stepped out of his seat
 The aviation meet will continue throughout the week, with trials against time and speed contests
 It Is expected that more of the en- trants will be ready for tomorrow's programme.
 Earlier in the first event of the pro- gramme exhibition flights over the one and half mile aeroplane course Wal ter Brookins, driving a Wright bi- plane. made four laps, or six miles. in 6 minutes and 45 seconds
 His altitude ranged from 20 to 50 feet.

RAILROAD BILL IS ALMOST
 ROUNDED TO COMPLETION

Washington, June 13-With the end In sight, a session of the conferees on the administration railroad bill was held to- night at the home of Senator Elkins. Only one feature of the bill remained as a serious bar to final agreement. That re- lated to the period of suspension of in- creases In rates pending an investigation Nv the interstate commerce commission to determine the reasona bleness of the ad- vances.
 President Taft showed marked interest in this provision and although tentative agreement was reached regarding it, this suggestion of compromise must be sub mitted to him before it is placed finally in the conference bill. Senators Elkin and Aldrich and Representative Mann of Illi- nois will take their tentative draft to the White House tomorrow. An unusual situation existed in regard to this portion of the bill The bill passed by the House would provide for a suspension of an in creased rate for a pericd not to exceed four months.
 The Senate bill would make the same provision except that under an amend ment by Senator Jones, the commission would be empowered to make a further suspension not to exceed six months, in the event that the original period had been insufficient for the commission to ascertain whether they are reasonable.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-06-14

Mir. Mann, the House conferee, 1t is saii favored the retention of the Senate amendment while on the other hand, the Senate conferees, Messrs. Elkins and Ald- rich, were willing to accept the provision carried by the House bill.
 Another important feature settled ten tatively, but which may yet be changed, is the proposition to prohibit the rail roads from charging a higher rate for a short than for a long haul.
 The western members of the Senate expressed the fear that if the House provision be accepted it would be de- clared unconstitutional, and, therefore, they have urged the Senate conferees to insist upon the amendment of the bill by the Senate.
 The difference is that the House pro- vision might be construed as delegat- ing legislative authority to the commis- sion, while the Senate provision pre- scribes the commission might make ex- captions to the general rule
 The Senate conferees are disposed to take the House provision and will do sc if western senators, who have under taken to look into the legal phase of the situation, report tomorrow that they would be satisfied with it.
 The stock and bond feature of the House bill is to be eliminated and there will be substituted a provision for the appointment of commission to investi- gate the whole subject of the proposed federal regulation of the securities of railroads. It is understood that $25,00) will be appropriated to defray the ex- penses of the commission. but that 1t will not be given the power of subpoena

RETURN FROM ELIZA
 MAY BE HISTORIC

Washington, June 13.-(SpeciaD-"The whole American people," said Representa- tive Underwood of Alabama, will be glad that MT. Roosevelt comes back home safe and in good health. They appreciate the warm reception that has been ac- corded him In the European countries he has visited and in Africa.
 Many of his friends are comparing his return to that of Napoleon from Elba. There are some points of similarity When Napoleon returned from Elba he found his country. and his following, torn by internal dissensions. Mir. Roosevelt will return to find that the dominant and united party which he left little more than year ago is in very much the same condition when he lands in New York as was that which Napoleon discovered |"
 What do you think will be the effect of Mir. Roosevelts return on his party g. Mr. Underwood was asked.

Washington. June 13-senator Deliver answered the critics of the insurgents to- day in speech delivered in the Senate during the discussion of the provisions of the sundry civil appropriation bill pro- vidins s25o,o to enable the President to gather information bearing upon the op- eration of the new tariff law. Senator Clay's motion to strike out the provision was lost by a party vote of 13 to A, MT. Deliver and his fellow progressives vot- ing with the regular republicans.
 The sundry civil bill. carrying appropri- ations aggregating $11s. 100000 was then passed.
 MT. Delivers speech attracted wide spread interest and was listened to atten- lively by Senators on both sides of the chamber. It was the reply of the insur- gents to the charges of party disloyalty and was a direct challenge to their oppo- nents in the party. The President s name was freely handled and his speeches were referred to, without reservation.
 Beginning with the declaration that the tariff discussion had been revived be- cause of the tariff law, MT. Deliver de- Of conscience or of opinion such as had once made the republican party strong. Referring briefly to Speaker Cannon s declaration in recent speech. that the Insurgents should be hanged he de- elared he would not treat that remark periously.

lARFUX DISASTER BEFALLS MONTREAL NEWSPAPER PLANT

Washington, June 13.-tSpecial.)- Representative Craig of Alabama again today introduced resolutions in refer and cotton for the purpose of having the Attorney General investigate. The wheat corner of May and July 1909, and the suspected combination of bear cotton interests who were said to have tried to depress the price of cotton at the same time that the bulls who were so investigated at the hebest of the AL torney General were accused of con- spiracy to advance the price.
 In the one concerning cotton 1t is stated that it is common knowledge that at the same time that the bulls were supposed to be operating recent 1y in the cotton markets of New York and New Orleans the bears had com bined illegally to reduce the price, yet the Attorney General failed to state in his answer to MT. Craig's resolution of May 12, 1910, whether any inves- tigation or prosecution was in prog ress against the bears, although he had been requested to inform the House on that phase of the subject.
 It being presumable then from the silence of the Attorney General that there has been no such investigation, the resolution proceeds, the Attorney General is directed to make an in- vestigation and If there has been vio- lation of the Sherman antitrust law to have indictments made by a grand jury to which the evidence of the violation shall have been submitted.
 The resolution in reference to the so so-called "Patten corner" in wheat is similar in answer to the resolution of May 12, 1910.

MURDER MYSTERY
 STILL UNSOLYED

Como, Italy. June 13.--A part of a mans coat, declared by some of his fishermen nsighbors to have belonged to Porter Charlton, was found today in Lake Como, from the water of which the body of his bride, Mary Scott Castle Charlton. was recovered last Friday.
 The torn garment was fished up from the bottom of the lake near the spot where the trunk containing the body of the woman was found.
 Today's discovery strengthens the tn cory of many that double murder was committed
 This is the view of Charles M. the American consul at Milan. who believes that Charlton met the same fate as did his wife. Mr. Caughey Is actively engaged in furthering the investigation. Earlier evidence that both of the Americans were killed pro- sumably for their valuables was found in the blood spattered bed at the villa which they occupied.

Senator Percy Had Declined To Att tend Until He Learned That the Change of Date Was Made
 For His Special Benefit

Meridian, June s.-tSpecial) United States Senator Leroy Percy has reconsid- cred his determination not to speak from the same platform or on the same occd- sion with State Senator Theodore Bilbo as will be seen by the following telegram received from him tonight by J. M. Me Reath, chairman of the invitation com mittee of the Lauderdale picnic and po- ltical rally July l:
 washington, June 13, 1910. "J NJ McBeath, Meridian, Miss:
 q was not aware until receipt of your wire that the date of the Lauderdale Springs picnic had been changed on my request. In view of this am unwilling to Gisappoint my friends and will be there. LEROY PERCY
 This relieves the committee of consd- erable embarrassment and now the pie mic and speaking gives promise of being the biggest event in the state for some months.
 The following telegraphic correspond ence passed between Chairman J. M. Me Reath of the Lauderdale Springs picnic committee and Senator Bilbo previous to Senator Percy'S .acceptance:
 Meridian, Miss, June 12, 1910. .'To Theodore G. Bilbo, Poplarville Miss.
 Percy has just wired that he refuses to speak from same platform on same occasion as you. Date of picnic has been changed to July l. Please wire If this date will suit you and if you will pc on hand. J. M M BEATH.y

 Your telegram announcing the flight of the enemy on first approaeS just received. l am very sorry indeed but l presume the Hon. Leroy Percy was afraid that he would not have his secret caucus leg islature along to Applause" when he cussed Bilbo.
 I am surprised that the Grey Eagle of the Delta'' balks at the first oppor- tunity to appear before the fair-minded and untrammelled citizenship of Missis- sippi under the pretense that Bilbo, whom his purseydzed senate tried to expel, is to present his side of the recent political out rage from the same platform.
 This tout -Englass --iAz Engle himself. Percy should be at least W 1ing for the people of Mississippi to decide whom they desire to hear at their own political gath ering throughout the state: and if he is not, he is eminently correct in declining your kind and courteous invitation. As for me, am still willing ''as In the cau- GUS" to let the people have their choice, even as to whor they desire to hear on the stump.
 The change of date of your political rally to July 5 satisfactory to me. will be on hand to defend my position against all comeaS My only desire Is that the people oftldississippi shall know the truth ant I am willing to abide by their decision. They seem anxious to hear as I already have about fifteen in vitations from different parts of the state and I shall fill them even if I have to walk.
 Thanking you again for your kindness and interest and assuring you that ap- preciate your sense of American fairness, I am, yours faithfully.
