Declined Without Thanks.

At a called meeting of the Com
mercial Club of this city, held in the
circuit court rooms Monday night
April IS, for the purpose of consid
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of taking step:
to secure for Butler the proposed
State Industrial Home for Negro
Girls, the motion was made, and
unanimously adopted, to dismiss the
proposition without further invest.
CATION,
The offer to locate the Home" in
this city was telephoned from Jeffer.
son City to one of our city officials,
who very properly put it up 10 the
Commercial Club.
Evidently the citizens of Butler
were satisfied that there was no
danger but what the club would turn
down the proposition as there were
but few present who are not men,
-bers of the club.
The discussion was short and there
being no suggestions made as to any
possible benefits which Butler might
derive from said institution the mat
ter was voted into oblivion so far as
this city is concerned.
Since number of representative
cities OF the state have declined to en-
terrain proposal to take the Home, :
We would respectfully suggest that
His Excellency, the Governor, tempo
rarily place his pet project in the
brick dwelling house now standing
on the site on his farm, on which his
press correspondents have erected in
their columns a log cabin TO be
built by his very own hands" and in
which task he has been delayed,
while he has devoted his time to dis
covering Missouri.

COCHRAN WINS FIGHT
FOR A NEGROES LIFE
Former Representative Makes an In
genious Plea in Appealing to
Race Prejudice.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Ex-Representat tive
". Bourke Cochran turned the race
prejudice argument to account today in
eloquently pleading for the life of a
penniless negro charged with murder
whom the court had assigned him 20 de-
fend. The man was acquitted after the
jury had been out for four hours.
Mr.. Cochran claimed that his client,
Victor Nelson, had proved that his act
In shooting and killing Claude humph-
reys was one Of self defense.
Mr.. Cochran reminded the jurymen that
all save one of them hao said they had
no prejudice against negroes. and that
one was accepted because the defense felt
that man SO honest in his avowals
would be fair.
But I'm sure you all feel a prejudice
against the negroes said Mr. Cochran.
Il feel it myself.
while you said you would treat this
defendant without prejudice, and though
you may try to treat this man your
peer, yet it could be hardly expected to
have any jury treat negro as peer.
Then treat him as dog dramatical-
ly exclaimed the lawyer. "A dog that
bites wantonly we kill, but dog that
bites in defense of his own masters home
is a dog we protect. Give him the same
shrift You would give a dog

Now that the end Of the session is APP

the bill to die in committee.
If enacted into law, Mr.. Burleson said
his bill would reduce the price of butter
from ~ and A. cents to 30 cents and
the price OF oleomargarine more than .
cents AS a food product, he said. oleo-
margarine, which is made from beef fat,

Goitre and Military Service.

From the London Chronicle.
The deliberate fostering Of goitre with
a view to evading military service used
to be carried to great lengths in Savoy.
Near St. Julien. in the Maurienne dis
trict there was "goitre we'll" the
water of which encrusted the trees in
the vicinity with lime The use of this
water was guaranteed to produce the
affiiction in two months, and medical
investigator reported five cases in which
young men had successfully drunk 1t
with that object. In the Brianconnais.
according to a local doctor. the young
men, when the time of drawing for the
CONSUMPTION approached, would drink
much water. carry burdens on their
heads and tighten their cravats above
the swelling if they had one. When Sa-
vow was annexed to France. the govern
ment set itself to cure goitrous children
by administering iodine lozenges and in
cuIcating care as to drinking water; but
hosts of parents as deliberately set them
selves to thwart the cures.

Advanced Marine Base.

Chances are that Philadelphia will be
selected as the site for the new marine
advanced base" though the matter is
not yet finally settled, and there is strong
competition from other points. The idea
is to create a marine post where a con-
siderable force Of marines will be always
maintained in a state Of preparation foI
instant embarkation in case of foreign dis
turbance which threatens American in
terests. There will be a force trained in
boat work, in landing through surf, in
handling machine guns, in SUCH infantry
tactics and movements as are practlced
by regular troops employed in eXped. ton

and all fully supplied with ample tentaSe

WILL ABS0LVE TARIFF
REPORT ON CAUSES OF HIGH
COST OF LIVING.
Last of Public Hearings by the Sem
ate Committee Will Be
Held This Week.

The cost OF wool production was the
subject of the hearing Friday after
noon before the Senate committee which
is investigating the high cost of living.
j. D. Noblitt an experienced wool-grower
of Cokesvlle. Wyo., was the witness.
The last OF the public hearings of the
committee will probably be held next
week. and the committee will then hold
executive sessions with a view to adopt
high cost of living.
The relation between the tariff and
the high prices of the necessaries of life
Will be the most important of the subjects
to be treated in the report. and there is
no question that the majority report will
declare that the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law has not caused an increase in prices
Effect of Trade Associations.
The effect of trade organizations, the
so-called social associations into which
dealers in specific lines of commodities
are banded-such as the Southern Whole
sale Grocers' Association, the Meat
Packers Association and the ',Elgi,
board and of big combinations like the
international Harvester Company and the
beef trust" is another subject with
which the report must deal The com
mittee has heard some interesting testi.
mony regarding the influence OF these
organizations and corporations. and some
OF them are not likely to escape withou,

prices
