statement that the banker had ruined

Mrs. Cudahy, however, does talk.
She explains. But, somehow, it
doesn't seem as though she tells
quite all of it. The meat packer S

years ago she married Cudahy. Now
she is the mother of five children.
She SAYS Cudahy is insanely and I'M
justly jealous; that he has sworn at
the children and more than once
punched her own pretty face. She
acknowledges that a couple of years
ago there was considerable talk
about her and Lillis, and that Cuda-
by demanded an explanation from the
! banker at that time.
She also says that Mr. Cudahy
planned to go away on business
trip last Saturday. Incidentally she
mentions the fact that Mr.. Lillis has

first one to ride in it, and Mr. Lillis
was delighted with the idea. So Sat

NO LAURELS FOR HIM UNLESS
HE FURNISHES POLAR PROOF.
House Committee, Skeptical About
His Ever Finding Pole, Was
Unanimous in Snub.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-That until
Commander Robert E. Peary furnish
es further proofs that he discovered
the North Pole no reward will be
bestowed upon him was the practi-
cally unanimous vote of the sub-com-
mittee of the house committee on
naval affairs today.
A speech in opposition to the prop
osition of honoring Peary was made
by Representative Macon of Arkan-
sas before the committee.
Representative Macon declared to
the committee that the explorer could
not have made the distance he said
he did in his dash for the pole. Mr..
Macon said he was indignant at the
thought of being called upon as a
representative of the American people
to confer a high honor upon any one
of it's citizens ''in the dark" All leg
islation by congress, he said, ought
to be open and above board.
II confess that | am exceedingly
skeptical about Mr.. Peary's ever hav'
ing discovered the pole" declared
Mr.. Macon, land I am going to pro-
test against any honor being con-
ferred upon him by congress until he
has established beyond reasonable
doubt that he did discover it, and i
must be established in the open and
not in the dark.
Mr.. Macon said he wanted to direc

attention to one discrepancy in Mr..
Peary's story" This was the speed
which the explorer declared he made
from the time Capt. Bartlett left
him until he reached the pole. Mr..
Peary said that for five days he made
26.4 miles per day, but Mr.. Macon
said this appeared very singular in
view of the fact that the Peary party
had made but sos miles per day up
to the time Bartlett left.
During this part of his journey,
Mr.. Macon said, mo white man was
with him as a witness, his only COM
panions being his negro valet and
four Eskimos.
He claims to have made an av-
erage of A miles per day on his way
back from the pole to Bartlett's camp
and 1875 miles per day from Bart
let's camp to Cape Columbia.
THE greatest speed he had made
before Bartlett left him was sos
miles per day, so Peary must have
made nearly three times as great
speed after Bartlett left him as he
did before in order to reach the
pole"
Mr.. Macon declared that Mr..
Peary's own statements showed that
he equaled this speed but twice dur
ing the entire journey to the pole
The first day he started from land
he made 26 miles, and on another
day made 20 miles in fourteen hours
of forced march (which Mr.. Peary
has told us was about the limit Of
human endurance"
Mr. Macon quoted Lieut.. Shackle
ton, Gen. Greedy and others to show
that 80 to IL miles per day, o.
slightly more, perhaps, is considered
the limit of human endurance travel
ing over polar seas"

WATERMELON VINE IN AN EAR.
Removed From Head of Man Who
Thought He Had a TumOr.

Removed From Head of Man Who
Thought He Had a Tumor.
Agriculture has reached such an
advanced stage in Denver that water
melon vines are being grown in mems
ears. That was discovered recently
by DR.. Black. He removed from the
ear of Richard Johnson a watermelon
seed which not only had taken root,
but also had sprouted. In fact, the
seed, the many yellowish roots and
the sprouts filled the ear cavity.
Johnson had no idea he was being
used for a watermelon patch.
He went to the doctor convinced
fully he was suffering from a tumOr.
That diagnosis of his ailment had
been made by other doctors, but Dr.,
Black is enough of farmer to know
watermelon vine when his probe
strikes it, and he relieved Johnson in
short order.
Johnson has no idea how the seed
got in his ear. He thinks he has
carried it since last summer, because
it was early last fall that his ear
first began to trouble him.

ATLANTA.-President Chas. S.
Barrett of the Farmers Union has
called national convention of farm
ers at the Coliseum in st. Louis to
continue in session from May 8 to
Z. 1t is to have a double purpose.
1t is to discuss needed national and
state legislation and to establish lob
bies at different capitals to see that
the demands of the farmers are
heard, and to devise some means of
making the farm more attractive in
order that the proposed solution Of
the economic problems of today,

possible. President Barrett in his
call says:
This will be a national mass meet
ing for farmers unparalleled in scope,
probably in Importance, undoubtedly
in attendance in the history of Amer

of our organization but also all agri-
cultural organizations and all Ameri-

of congress the Farmers Union has
maintained a legislative bureau at
Washington. The bureau is prepar-
ing report in which the status of
legislation demanded and needed by
the farmer is set forth. 1t will be
read at st. Louis.
cat no time in the history of the
nation has the farmer been the OBJ
ject of more solicitude to thoughtful
public men. From congress, from
every newspaper forum, from every
pulpit goes up the cry Back to the
land Expert students of economics
are warning us that until the lot
of the farmer be improved, until
more of his number be kept on the
farm, we shall soon be depending on
foreign nations for some of our food
1t is therefore at this time that /
invite the farmers of America to join

which shall thresh out issues close
to the life of the nation"

republican party has been in power.
The committee was one of several
committees on expenditures in the
various departments of the govern
ment that had never held a meeting.
Yet there are few more important
committees appointed by the speak
er than the committee on expendi-
lures of the state, treasury, war,
navy, postott1ce, interior and agri-
culture departments-that is, if
these committees do their duty. I'm
der the rules they are charged with
the examination of the accounts and
expenditures of the several DEPART
ments and the manner of keeping the
same; the economy, business and cor
rectness of such expenditures; their
conformity with appropriation laws;
the security of the government
against unjust and extravaganza de-
mands; retrenchment, the enforce
ment of the payment of moneys due
to the United States; the economy
and accountability of the public Off

offices. Secretaries and ianitors have

and ingenius maneuvering on the
part of Representative Courtney w.

ocratic member of the committee.
Secretary of State Knox, and AS
sistant Secretaries Huntington Will
son and Wilbur j. Carr were sent
for to go over the expenditures of
the state department for 1909, aggre-
eating $428,557.63. The three state
department officials were practically
useless as witnesses, however, for
they frankly admitted they were not
sufficiently familiar with many of the
items to explain them. However,
they promised to look into the vari-
Gus matters called to their attention.
Asked whether he thought $237.66
was not a somewhat large amount to
eXpend for the shoeing of four horses
in year Mr.. Carr admitted that it
seemed excessive. 1t developed that
although the state department has
but two vehicles and four horses it
cost $2,824.49 to maintain the sta
bles last year Mr.. Knox added that
the horses are little used, as he gen.
orally rides in an automobile.
When considered in connection
with the recent statement of Senator
Aldrich that he could run the gov
eminent for $300,000,000 under the
present annual cost, the failure OF
