HOLIDAY FOR COLUMBUS
PLAN TO HONOR DISCOVERED
OF AMERICA FAVORED.
Harrison Bill Likely to Be Passed
at the Present Session
Of Congress.

When Christopher Columbus comes into
his own through the creation in his honor
by the Congress Of the United States OF
a great national holiday. to be known a
Columbus day." his countrymeu will b.
properly grateful to Representative
Francis Burton Harrison Of New York
and John A. Keiliher Of Massachusetts.
For If Mr.. Harr1son's bill to mako Octo-
Der Il, the date Of the discovery Of Amer
lea. legal holiday becomes q law-and
the prospects Of favorable action on the
measure now seem brighter than at any
time since its Introduction on the 27th
Of March. 1909-it will be due to the
united and persistent efforts of these two
energetic young democrats.
Mr.. Harrison believes-and a great
many members Of both branches OF Con
gress hold the same opinion-that Octo
Der II should be made legal holiday
under the title of Columbus day." to all
fntents and purposes in the same manner
as Christmas, the LIST day of January, the
I'D of February. the 30th Of May. the
4th of July and the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, are now made by law public holi-
days.
There seems to be no question that
there is q widespread demand throughout
the country for this legislation, and the
best proof of this is that several of the
leading states have recently passed such
law. Representatives Harrison an. Kel-
liner appeared the other day before the
House committee on the judiciary In ad-
vocacy of Mr. Harrison's measure and ac-
ton by the committee is anticipated in the
near future.
Columbus" says Mr. Harrison, has
given to succeeding generations an en-
during example OF fortitude under ad-
versity. Bowed down by the weight Of
circumstance, he never faltered in his
purpose. His achievement was one OF the
most momentous in history-to him Is due
the discovery of this great continent Of
ours; to him was due the rescue from
barbarism and the opening up to Chris
tianity and civilization Of the fairest por-
tons of the earth. Deprived by history
of the honor Of giving his name to the
grsat lands be discovered. it now remains
for later generation to do honor to his
memory and to their sentiments OF patriot
ism by giving to the nation q holiday
upon the date Of his discovery OF Amer
ica."
1t is generally concsded that there II no
real opposition ITO the Harrison BILL but
the proposition needed somebody behind
1t; and now that II II being actively ad
vocated by two Of the most energetic and
intelligent members OF the House, reput
leans and democrats both included, IL is
probable that the present session Of Con-
aress will not end without the favorable
action of one or both branches OF the
national legislature on the Harrison hill

The Rye Loaf.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
We have been hearing much about the
rye loaf. which forms the staple article
of diet among the poorer classes in Ger
many. But there was period in this
country-it was in 1879. the time Of the
great war with France-when even men,
beers of the privy council determined. for
the sake of example. to eat bread man
ufactured from rye. Food was then at
famine prices. and flour az powder for
wigs was no longer used. In 1900 the
brown bread act was passed. prohibiting
the sale Of pure white wheaton bread. or
any bread that was new, as 1t was felt
that the stale loaf would go farther. The
price of the quartern loaf that year was
is I'D, about douoie what 1t had been
seven years previously.

TWO RECORDS BROKEN.
Chalmers Detroit Five-Man Team
Sets New Association Marks

BALTIMORE. Md, April 2l.-The Chal-
mers-Detroit five-man team of Chicago
broke the National Bowling Association
record on the Garage alleys last night
in the bowling tourney of the association
by rolling the high score Of 2,917
The previous high record was $3.50,
made by the Corinthian No. team at
Madison Square Garden, New York, last
year. and the new record exceeds the old
one by eighteen pins.
In the second game of the set the rec
ord breakers established another record
by splitting 1.05S pins. and it was said by
the officials Of the meet last night that
this mark excels anything heretofore
done by fve-man teams in National
Bowling Association circles
The Chalmers-Detroit five had the high
ished. and 1t was thought that 1t would
be inside the money, but when it's second
game showed LOSS the large crowd Of
spectators began to sit UP and take no.
tice. for II was evident q record was to
be smashed.
Richter and Rolfe were the mainstays
CT the team. and their consistent wood
splitting aroused the spectators to high
pitch OF enthusiasm. On the last round
the team did some clever bowling, and as
Blouin sent the last ball down the mar
row path a mighty roar went up, and
Baltimore has the distinction of being
the city in which the high mark was
made.
The five-man teams are now in the fol-
lowing order for the, first places:

Court Of Appeals Ruling.

In q more recent case the opinion of
the Court OF Appeals, read by Justice
Van Orsdel. was: I'VE are of the opinion
that the mere bringing of the register
from the hotel Office into the cafe and the
signing of 1t by the witnesses were not
sufficient to make them bona-fide regis
tered guests of the hotel
This Is not a new device conceived by
hotelkeepers for evading the enforcement
Of the liquor laws. 1t has frequently been
adopted. and has been generally dis
countenanced by the courts, which frown
upon any trick. artifice or subterfuge de-
vised for the evasion of the provisions OF
q criminal statute.
1.-THE question of whether or not the
witnesses were bona-fide guests at the
hotel" the decision continued, lis one
of fact. which, had the case been tried
to the jury for determination. It was
incumbent upon the defendant to show
that these persons were guests. The court
below found from the evidence that he
had failed to discharge this burden. We
think the court properly interpreted the
evidence and we find no reason to dis
turb it's conclusion"
The facts in the case were that two po-
lcemen went to the hotel and asked to
be served. They we're told that drinks
Sundays After conversation with the
head waiter the register was brought.
the policemen inscribed their names and
were served drinks with sandwiches.
Effect of Enforcement.
An enforcement of the law as inter-
preted by the court. it is believed, will
mean a great reduction in the amount of
liquor consumed in this city Sundays. In
view OF the notices Just sent out it is
believed there will be decided change
In the method Of doing business at many
of the hotels next Sunday. Should there
be no. change it is likely that prosecu-
lions will follow, and Judge Pugh will be
called upon to make rulings as judge
There is no reason to believe his views
at this time are different from what they
were in 1867.

Board of Education News.

AT the recent meeting of the
county board of education there
were present Messrs. G. Oates, j.
P. Patton and superintendent
ShitIe. Mr.. N. w. Posey, who is
not at all well was unable to at
tend.
The board ordered new seats for
the Flat Rock school, where the
compulsory education law has re-
Gently been put into effect.
They have also agreed to con-
tribute five to six hundred dol
lars towards erecting a new school
building In Pennsylvania county,
at Blantyre, if the board of edu-
cation of that county will make
the Henderson board cne-half in
terest in the building. The pro-
posed new school would serve the
needs Of many Henderson>county
children.
They will probably order, at
once, fifty new seats for the school
at Yale-where they are badly
needed.
Superintendent Shitle finds a
constantly increasing interest IN
educational affairs amongst the
people of the county, which is an
excellent indication of continued
progress.
