HIGH PRICED FOOD NOT THE CAPITAL
PoIanders Badly Fooled on
Reaching Washington, Ga.
WANTED TO SEE Mr.. TAFT
Deceived by Employment Agency
and Wanted to Complain to Him
of Their Treatment.

When seven detected and footsore Poles
meandered into Washington. Ga. last
Wednesday they fondly believed they
had reached the capital of the nation.
Addressing each other in the Polish Ian
guage. after surveying the picturesque
Georgia town. the wanderers expressed
surprise that such a big country as the
United States should have such a small
capital.
1t was their belief that there was but
one Washington" in this country Had
the Polanders consulted the postal di-
rectory they would have learned that
there are just twenty-nine villages. towns
or cities in Uncle Sans domains with
the cognomen of Washington: also that
there are twelve other places that bear
the prefix Washington. such as Wash
ington Heights. Washington Dale. etc.
The Poles explained to the officials OF
Washington. Ga, that they had endeav-
ored to reach the National Capital to
present to President Taft grievance
against a New York employment con-
Germ. They were broke when they
reached the Georgia town, and also ex-
perienced difficulty in making themselves
understood. but with the aid of Russian
Hebrew merchant, who acted as inter-
prefer, they described their predicament.
Set Adrift by Agency.
1t seems that the New York employ
ment agency had misrepresented matters
to the seven Poles and sent them on a
wild goose chase to the south in quest
of employment on railroad After dis
covering they had been deluded the seven
men. set out to reach Washington, d. c..
to register complaint with President
Taft. They claim that many immigrants
are being deceived by such concerns and
foreigners are cent broadcast over the
United States to find mythical jobs. For
this privilege the employment agencies
are said to tax the foreigners heavily.
How the Poles managed to get away
down in Georgia they were unable to
explain. But after they struck the
Georgia railroad at a small station near
Washington they managed to ask how
course. Washington. D. c. They were
informed that Washington was only a
few miles distant, and with their hopes
buoyed the foreigners decided to board
of money they managed to muster up.
May Yet Get Here.
Upon reaching Washington and finding
it was a town in Georgia and not the
dumfounded. When informed the Wash
ingtoE they were seeking was sew
eral hundred miles distant. and that they
had passed it on their way down south,
the men gave way to lamentations. Their
stocks Of energy and money were both ex-
hausted.
The town authorities provided lodgings
and food for the wanderers and efforts
are being made to raise money to pay
their fare to this city. in order that they
may lay their complaint before the
proper authorities.

Washington, d. G. - After re.

almost three months in q state Of un.
certainty as to its fate, the bill pro.
Winding for the admission Of the terri.
tories Of New Mexico and Arizona to
separate statehood was taken up by
the senate and passed after a debate
consuming little more than two hours.
The measure was called up by Sen
ator Beveridge, chairman of the com.
mittee on territories, at the conclusion
Of the routine business of the day and
was passed after speeches by Sen.
ators Beverage, Frazier. Nelson,
Hughes and Smoot.
All the speeches were favorable to
the creation of the two states, but the
Democrats favored the bouse bill.
When the vote was reached there
was division on the senate substi-
tute for the house bill, but with that
amendment accepted, the senate vot-
ed solidly for the passage of the bill.
The senate substitute was adopted as
an amendment to the house measure
by a strictly party vote. the ballot
standing 4 to 10.
AS passed the bill would provide
for the admission as states of the two
territories, but not until after a con.
stitution had been adopted by each of
them, approved by the president and
ratified by congress.

Agreement With House.

Much apprehension has been felt
that the bill would tie up in confer
ence in the house, but during the dis.
cusston much was said to dissipate
that fear. It came in connection with
a speech by Senator Nelson and in re.
Spouse by Democratic senators. The
Minnesota senator declared he would
do all that he could to bring about an
agreement with the house during the
present session.
"Ill do all that I can to bring It
about" he said. "and I think we can
do it; we ought to dispose of the mat
tiers in two or three days."
Senators Carter and Borah concur.
red in this view.
There are two reasons why we
should reach an agreement" said Mr..
Borah. Zone is that we won't 20
home until we get it and the other is
that 1t is getting too hot to stay here
long"
Saying that he would prefer the sen.
ate bill to no statehood legislation,
Senator Bailey declared that it would
be some time before congress ad.
tourned If the conference committee
did not report an agreement.
Under the bill as amended by the
senate it might be two and a half
years before the statehood law would
become operative and the house con.
ferees want to shorten the time to
the spring Of 1911.

week. President Taft is signing the
proclamations as fast as they are pre-
pared by the forest service and ap-
proved by the secretary of agriculture.
This work is being hurried because
the administration has become alarm

classification more than million acres
of desirable lands which had been
locked up in the national forests will

When the work is completed more
