DUCHESS WORE PANTS
TO COVENT GARDEN
Called Brother Down As On
SOf OF Morals

London, December PA carefully
concealed sensation of the brilliant
Arabian Nights Ball." given at Covent
Garden came to light today when it
was learned that among the glittering
throng of oriental dancers was her
grace the Duchess of Sutherland, in
male attire-that of a maharajah. The
incident was deemed so serious that
a conclave was called at Stafford
house, the magnificent Sutherland res
idence in ST. James street
But it was not the duke who caused
the trouble, but the Earl of Rosslyn,
the countess brother, who ordered his
sister to give an account of herself.
The duchess took umbrage at this
style of censor and reviewing his
somewhat mixed matrimonial career,
bade him defiance.
81 would like to know" she is re-
ported to have said, "who. appointed
you censor of this family's morals.
Don't talk rot"
A cross examination elected from
the duchess the fact that while she
did wear a mans clothes at the ball
and also painted her face swarthy
hue to resemble the Eastern potentate,
her trousers were very baggy and a
cloak enveloped her figure.

Foreign BORN YOUTHS
OUTSTRIP AMERICANS
They Appear to Realize Their
Advantages

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 27.-Warning
that children of foreign born parents
are outstripping American boys and
girls in the public schools of the state
is contained in the annual report of
DR.. N. C. Schaeffer, state superintend-
ent of public instruction. Doctor Scha-
effer's unfavorable contrast between
the attitude of American children and
those of foreign born parents is
drawn in the following paragraph:
Children born of foreign parents
realize the advantages thus placed
within their reach. Many of them
study with a zeal and earnestness
which will make them winning COM
petitors alongside Of American youth,
who waste their time at social func-
tions and in the qualification of self,
instead of practicing the self-denial
which lies at the foundation of all true
success"
DR.. Schaffer makes a plea for open
air schools for children predisposed or
affected with tuberculosis. He notes
that, based upon Investigations in New
York and Boston, it is estimated that
l ,000,00 school children now in the
schools of the United States will die OF
consumption before they are Is years
old, Is per cent of whom could be saw
ed if proper measures be adopted.

GET OUR POTASH
FROM THE SEA WEEDS
viii Save Country From Ger
man ExtOFtiOnS.

Washington, d. c., December 27.-
At the last session of congress an ap-
preparation of $12 800 was made to the
department of agriculture for the pur-
pose of investigating the fertilizer re-
sources of this country. Both appro-
priations were the outcome of a desire
on the part of congress at the last
scion to become, if possible, indepen-
dent of foreign sources of supply. The
United States possesses the largest
phosphate beds in the void, and nol
only supplies all that is required for
our home consumption, but also ex-
ports large quantities to foreign coun-
tries. All of the potash, however, re-
quired for our fertilizers is imported
from Germany, the annual importation
being about $15,00O,O0O.
In the giant kelps of the Pacific
coast satisfactory source of potash
has been found. The kelp groves
should yield from two to three times
as much potash as the present impor-
tation. These sea weeds are able to
extract by selective absorption the
potash salts from the sea water and
on drying, these salts are very largely
exuded upon the surface. The dried
plants contain from 25 to 35 per cent.
of their weight of potassium chloride,
which can very readily be extracted.
The kelps also contain iodine and
many other by-products. 1t is possi-
BILE that these by-products will mora
than pay the manufacturing eX-
penses.
Some of the Pacific groves are
miles long ands2 miles wide The two
principal plants reach length of 100
feet or more, and grow in strong tide
ways or where they are exposed to
the full force of the open sea All
of the groves are within the 3-mile
limit, and should be easily harvested
The heaviest groves are south of Point
Sur. but large ones extend as far
north as Seattle. If properly harves-
ted and protected. these groves vii
yield an annual harvest indefinitely.
On conservative basis upward OF
million tons of potassium chloridi
worth nearly $40 200. 900 should be oh
ltained each year. No estimate ca
Ibe given at present OF the value Of tn
1hy-products,

HIGH SCHOOL
Change COMES
WITH new YEAR
Mr.. SINCLAIR HAS RESIGNED
Mr.. c. E. Crook Appointed
As Successor

Mr. J. L. Sinclair, of the High
School faculty, has resigned his posi-
ton here to accept a position in the
United States Coast Artillery corps.
His resignation was received and ac-
cepted yesterday by the Board of Edu-
cation which at the same time en-
powered Superintendent Miller to ap-
point a successor to Mr.. Sinclair. Mr..
G. E. Crook, a graduate of Trinity Col
lege, North Carolina, was appointed to
succeed Mr.. Sinclair during the unex-
pired school term.
On account of arranging the de-
partmentS so as to make matters sat
isfactory, Mr.. c. c. Youmans will be
shifted to the department of mathe-
matics, leaving the department of his
tory to be conducted by Mr. Crook
This arrangement, it is believed, will
be satisfactory to all concerned, and
under this plan the school year will be
completed with but one new appoint
ment as regards the corps of teachers.
The resignation of Mr. Sinclair be-
comes effective January 5, at which
time Mr.. Crook will take up his duties
as a member of the High School fac
ulty.
While the resignation of Mr.. Sin
clair was a surprise to most of his
friends here, he has contemplated en-
tering the Coast Artillery service for
some time. Since September he has
been engaged in standing the rigid
competitive examinations held by the
federal government for applicants
from military schools who aspire 70
enter the military service. In these
he was entirely successful, having
been one of thirty-four successful COM
petitors out of more than hundred
who aspired to this honor Mr.. Sim
clair is a graduate of the Virginia
Military Institute, where he received
excellent training for the work which
he will take up in the new year.
The local schools, both the gram
mar grade of the High School, will
resume their courses of study next
Tuesday. There will be no school on
Monday of next week, as that is New
Years day. The fall term has been
most successful one, and Superinten-
dent Miller expects that the coming
spring term will be the most prosper
GUS in the history of the schools.

WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT
FOR GOOD HE CAN DO

Passaic. N. J., December 27.-Speaking
here Senator La Toilette said:
about the presidency | haven't any
thing up my sleeve. admit I'm am
bilious. but wouldn't take the presi-
dency of the United States any more
than | would the governorship or
Michigan unless / could achieve some
thing in the generation in which |
lived. I am going to have my place
in the history of the movement to
bring the government back to the
people, having already fought for IT
fifteen or twenty years, | will not

all right; if l lose, all right, but the

BRYAN MAY Stand
FOR A DRY PLANK
Nay Seek to Commit Dem
OCFaCy to It.

y Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-Demo-
bats in Washington have quietly dis
sused a report that William ]. Bryan
Ras made up his mind to inject the
Prohibition question into next year'a
Rational Democratic campaign, by try
: ng to secure the insertion of plank
n the platform pledging the party to
kation-wide prohibition. The news
hat he is about to do this is said to
have reached three members OF the
bemocratic national committee, who
pmmunicated it to leaders in Con-
kess.
While none of the Democrats who
/ card the report cared to comment on
II, they all were of the opinion that II
4 r. Bryan really contemplated such
Sep it would be stupendous political
Runder on his part. They preferred
y believe that the report was a mis-
Ike.
1t is expected that Mr.. Bryan Will be
delegate from Nebraska to the con-
ention. and that he will be a member
u the committee on resolutions. From
bat vantage point he would be en-
8bled to inject the prohibition question
pto the proceedings if he sees mt TO
"a so. In connection with the report 1t
y recalled that Mr.. Bryan broke with
Ns party in Nebraska on the question
u county option and bolted the nom
Baton of former Mayor Dahlman OF
8naha. the choice of the Democrats
br governor, because his ideas on the
Nlestion of county option did not pre-
#il. Mayor Dahlman for years was
N of Mr.. Bryan's ardent supporters.
Friends of Gov Harmon of Ohio pro
Ess to see in the reported determina-
Apn of Mr.. Bryan another effort on the
rt of the Nebraskan to place OBJ
sacIes in the way of the Harmon pres
n ential boom. Mr. Dahlman is the
ader of the Harmon forces in Ne
aska.

A SWIFT GAME
SCHEDULED FOR
TEAMS TONIGHT
MERCER TACKLES LOCALS
Largest Crowd Of Season
Will See the Contest.

Tonight should witness the
most hotly contested game of basket
ball that has been seen here this seas
on when the locals tackle the crack
Mercer University aggregation. The
fact that the Mercer bunch recently
defeated the Atlanta Athletic Club in a
close contest by the score of "a to % is
an indication that the Mercerians have
one of the swiftest teams ever sent
out by that institution.
1t will be recalled that Mercer's rep
utation in basket ball has outgrown
even that gained by them in football,
as the team that represented that in
stitution a year ago came within a
very few points of winning the cham
pionship of the South from Vanderbilt
University. The team that represents
Mercer this year has on it some of the
same men who played with the crack
team of last year, so that this years
lineup is indeed a rattling good one.
The Mercer team will undoubtedly
prove the fastest bunch of players that
the locals have met this season, as
they are recognized as strictly fast
company in a basket ball way. Best
known among the Mercer players are
Westmoreland and Voss, the latter of
whom has been seen here in the role Of
a crack baseball player, having pitched
several games last summer in the Ten
nille-Americus baseball games played
here the Fourth of July and at several
preceding dates.
From these facts it may readily De
seen that the game to be played here
tonight will be a swift exhibition
of basket ball and one that cannot fail
to interest every lover of the sport. 1t
is expected that a large attendance
will be present to witness the game, as
there are a large number of college
boys and girls here in addition to the
regular number of fans who have been
accustomed to seeing every game play
ed here this season. Every indication
is for a record-breaking attendance to
be present at the game.
The lineup of the local team has
not yet been arranged, but it will in
all likelihood include the old reliable
players, Smith, Dunn, Brooks, Griffin
and Hooks. Needless to say that the
locals viii. put their very strongest
team into the field and that no effort
will be spared to wrest victory from
the collegians. There is no doubt that
the game will be battle royal.
On account of the fact that the Mer-
Ger team comes from some enviable
conquests on the road, the game to-
night will be a hummer 1t is not
known what the exact lineup of the
Mercerians will be, but the players
who come with the team will include
Carson, Binion, Voss, Gaines, Cook,
Roddenberry and Westmoreland.

.FEUD IS ON
BETWEEN CHAMP
CLARK And FOLK
BITTER WORDS ARE COMING
Expected To Cross Swords
At Jackson Day Dinner

, Washington, D. c., December 81
The controversy between the friends
of Speaker Champ Clark and former
i Gov. Joseph w. Folk as to which is en-
titled to Missouri's SO votes in the
democratic national convention is like
ly to reach a crisis when the two
meet in Washington January s, at the
Jackson day banquet. So bitter has
the contest become that a battle of
sharp words between Mr. Clark and
Mr.. Folk is expected to follow the
challenge from the speaker to submit
the question to the voters of Missouri
at a primary
Mr.. Folk was in Washington recent
ly to attend a dinner given by the
Gridiron club. 1t is understood that
he anticipated being called upon for an
address during the dinner, and it was
his intention he having come prepared
for the purpose, to make few hot re-
marks concerning affairs in Missouri
politics, with especial reference TO
Mr.. Clark and to the convention in
Missouri which gave it's Endorsement
to Folk in his presidential aspirations.
Had Folk made his speech, Mr.. Clark
also would have spoken and the event
would have resembled the famous
Roosevelt-Foraker trouble of several
years ago.
Because of the manner in which the
invitation came to him, Mr. Folk while
in Washington declared that he would
not attend the Jackson day dinner.
Now the managers of that affair have
announced officially that he has ac-
cepted
Although Mr.. Folk has indicated his
feeling of personal hostility against
the speaker at various times in the
past, the relations between the two
were not broken until two weeks ago.
While in Washington the gove'h-
or stood sponsor for an interview sent
to Missouri papers in which the speak
er was described as stalking horse
for Gov. Harmon in the presidential
contest. At the same time Gov. Folk
let it be known that he would throw
his strength to Gov Woodrow Wilson,
in case he found in the national con-
yention that he himself could not gain
the caye;fd noGination.
This interview MIR. Clark branded as
malicious lie, made out of whole
cloth" Further, he said that "it will
be found that a malicious lie is poor
foundation for campaign in Missou-
ri" His friends, he said, are not
looking for a second choice.
Replying to the statement of the
speaker, Mr.. Folk said that Mr.. CLARK
should not be judged too harshly for
his Incorporate language. He may not
know that it ise true" he said, that
many of these so-called friends OF Mr..
Clark have a first choice in Gov. Har-
mon and are using the speakers name
ms means TO al a reactiona7y caE
didate.
The feud between Speaker Clark
and Mr.. Folk dates back to conven-
ton held in Missouri just before the
last election.
