SENATOR PERCY'S COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS.

In the reorganization Of the United
States Senate for the special session Of
Congress, Senator Leroy Percy, Of Mis-
sissippi, has been assigned to a num-
Der Of most important committee places,
and 70 committees for which his abil-
ities especially fiji him. He is a mem
Der Of the committees on Agriculture
and Forestry, Commerce, immigration,
Indian Depredations, Interoeeanie Ca
mails, Joint Committee on the Revision
OF the laws and on the Expenditures of
the state Department. Being person
ally interested in agriculture and repre-,
senting an agricultural people, Senator
Percy devoted much time to securing
the proper recognition by Congress Of
the needs of the agrieulturists of the
South at the last session of Congress,
and hence his appointment on the agri-
cultural committee is a proper one, and
will place Senator Percy in a position
where he can be of even greater service
than heretofore to the farmers of his
State and Of the South generally. Be
ing successful business man, his ap-
Pointment on the Committee on Com
meree, and that of Interoeeanie Canals,
is special recognition of his busi-
ness ability, while being placed on the
Committee on the Revision of the Laws
Is a recognition of his great legal abil-
ity as well as his integrity and careful
attention to details.
The committee positions accorded Sen
ator Percy are a great compliment to
him after a years service in Congress,
and while he accomplished much dur
ing the last session of Congress, he will
be in position to accomplish even more
In the future. From any standpoint of
real usefulness to the people of the
State of Mississippi, it would certainly
appear TO a reasonable mind that SEN
ator Percy should be elected as his own
successor. And certainly the people
want the man in the Senate that can
accomplish most for their interests.

l would like to ask two questions and
l am sure he will answer them.
1. Mr. Vardaman, if the secret eau
Gus was so corrupt as you say it was,
why did you stay in it to the very last
minute, believing you were going to be
nominated by the caucusY
2. If the caucus had been so foolish
as to nominate you, would you have
accepted the nomination from such a
corrupt thing as it wasi
Now, Mr.. Vardaman, you did stay
in the caucus and you would have ac-
cepted the nomination, wouldn't YOU?
Then, what better are you than Mr..
Percy? He stayed in the caucus like
you did, got what you were trying to
get. 1t reminds me of two fellows out
stealing; they steal together, but fall
out about the division of the spoils.
and then one of them curses the other
out for being thief, and going into
the court, tries to get the jury to con-

The Southern herald., 1911-05-26

Senator Percy's speaking tour of the
State during the past few weeks has
proven one continual ovation. Great
crowds have greeted him wherever he
has spoken, and the enthusiasm shown
can but mean that the people recognize
his worth and will endorse him at the
polls in the August primaries.

THE VICE CLEANUP GOES ON

THE VICE Gle
Vice is having a tough time of
it in Chicago nowadays-some
kinds of vice.
For while there was a general
raid on saloonkeepers, gamblers
and prostitutes. But it didn't stop
there.
There is slight indication that
even newspaper vice may be
cleaned up, too-just little bit.
The Tribune, which loves to
call itself the greatest newspaper
in the world, made a frst-page
announcement today which indi-
Gates that it is going out of part
nership with the loan sharks.
The announcement is as fol
lows:
After a thorough investiga-
ton The Tribune has decided to
eliminate Salary loan" advertis-
ing from its columns. Many of
these advertisements have been
those of reputable concerns, but
some, The Tribune has learned,
have been inserted by loan sharks.
AS it is impossible to make an in
vestigation of each advertisement
before publication, The Tribune
will refuse to accept any adver-
Using of this character. 1t is the
only way by which its patrons
can be protected"
: No doubt it cost The Tribune
much financial pain to let go of its
share of the profit in the loan
shark game, but we ought to be
thankful for even this little spasm

Story that Bogus Solicitor
Made Good Haul,

Indications are that numerous
residents of Fords have been victim
lied by a stranger whom they
thought they were b~efriending about
two weeks ago. He went among
them and collected sums amounting
from fifty cents to $3.50. 1t is al
legged he gave a false story, stating
he was representing an embroidery
house and wanted women to work
for him. He asked for $3.50 from
each person in order to secure them
patterns and other material with
which to work. From some he Sc
cured $3.50 and from other various
smaller amounts down to fifty cents.
1t appears he made a rich haul.
According to one of the victims, it
was about two weeks ago that a man,
who claimed to be weak in health
and unable to work himself, went
about Fords asking that persons
work for him. He explained his
proposition and a number consented
to do embroidery work with the I'M
Outstanding that they were to be
paid therefor.
Days passed on and then a week.
but no word was received from the
mar and no material was sent those
who had paid him. 1t is now two
weeks ago and nc. word has been re-
ceived from him. One of the bum
coed persons communicated with an
embroidery concern in South River,
thinking perhaps the a represent
ed 1T and the goods was late in ar
irving. The reply was to the effect
that the firm had had no solicitors
going through the Fords territory.

REGULATION OF
THE FACTORIES
Department Of Labor to
Develop Experts.
sFross the NEWS Corrsspondent.)

Trenton, May 29:-New Jerseys
Department of Labor is planning to
develop experts along special lines
among its factory inspectors. Col.
Lewis T. Bryant, commissioner of
the department, is to add six new In
spectors to his staff just as soon as
the Civil Service Commission an
nounces the successful candidates in
the recent examinations. The state
is now divided into nine districts and
new apportionment with a conse-
quent closer regulation of factory re-
quirements.
Colonel Bryant says he will prob
ably have two fire protection spe-
cialists, and one man to devote him
self to the installation and regula-
ton of blowers in factories. A fourth
may be assigned to the govern
ment of the electrical fire alarm in
stallation. The exact division of the
department will be determined as
the requirements are shown in fac
tory inspection.
Buildings Of two stories and more
must have fire escapes and minute
specifications must be followed in
their surroundings and construction.
Copies of the law are now being
mailed to the factories and the men
are to specialize in that line will see
that it is followed. Structures which
are three stories and more must
have the automatic fire and panic
alarm and a number of details must
be followed in the installation. The
blowers are used in workshops
where emery wheels or emery belts
of any description are used. The
blowers are to carry off the particles
of dust caused by the wheels, to pro-
tect the health of the employees.
Blanks to be filled by these de-

sent out and a number have already
complied with the law. A license

POST OFFICE
EXPENDITURES
Jersey Congressman Taking
an Active Interest.
tFrom the NEWS Correspondent

Washington, May 29:-Represen-
tative Mccoy, of the Eighth New
Jersey District, is taking an active
part in the inquiry into the expendit-
ures in the post office department by
the House Committee of which he is
a member. Last Saturday the con-
gresham quizzed Chief Clerk Weed
as to the cost of the furnishings in
the official suite of Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock.
1t was brought out among other
things that the postmaster general
uses a desk that cost S298, that the
brown is embellished with rugs
and draperies that cost $4,000 and a
$35 waste basket.
Representative Mccoy sought to
prove by a long series of questions
that the law had been violated in the
purchase of furniture for Mr.. Hitch
cocks Office. He insisted that the
statutes required advertisements and
acceptance of the goods offered by
the lowest bidder.
Mr.. Weed testified that in making
such purchases "exigencies'' were
provided for. In this case he desired
to furnish the brown room during
the absence of Mr.. Hitchcock from
the city.
Mr.. Mccoy maintained that the
"exigencies" named in the law ap-
piled to fires and unforeseen acct
dents and he insisted that Mr.. Hitch
cocks absence from town could not
be attributed to a fire or an ~unfore-
seen accident.
The Wool Schedule.
All that remains to be accomplish
ed to complete the program of the
House Democrats for the revision of
the wool and wooden schedule is to
give their formal ratification in eau
cus The Underwood bill providing
for a so per cent. reduction in these
rates of duty is now tentatively
finished and will be submitted to the
Democratic caucus to be held next
Thursday at noon. Chairman Under
wood hopes to be able to report the
final draft of the committee bill for
mally TO the House next Friday, the
day after the caucus acts. Mr.. In
derwood expressed the hope that the
bill as approved by the caucus would
be reported next Friday. and in that
event, he said. the bill would be
taken up for consideration about
June 5 or 6.

Washington, May 29.-President Taft
visited the apartment Of Alexander
Yellowless, who was drowned Satur-
day night In the Potomac river as the
result Of a collision between the gov
eminent dispatch boat Dolphin and the
motorboat Culprit Fay, in which yell

daughter, was on board the Dolphin
when the accident occurred, and the
president desired personally to offer
his condolences to the dead mans rel
atives. Upon calling at the apart
ments, however, he learned that yell
ton. The president then caused orders
to be issued TO the police and to the
navy yard officials to see that every
thing possible was done to recove the
body and to care for it afterward. The
police dragged the river for the body
without success.

Dolphin was in command Of Lieuten-
ant Commander George W. Laws. He
and a civilian river pilot were on the
bridge at the time of the accident
Witnesses on board the Dolphin say
that the helmsman of the launch, Mr.

MYSTERY
IN SCHOOL LAW
New Measure in This State
Bars Examiners.

Newark, N. j., May 29.-Considera-
Bile mystery centers around a law
passed by the last legislature which in
legal effect abolishes the local board
Of school examiners. The mystery
pertains to the motive fer the intro
duction Of the measure. The bill was
presented and passed without attract
ing the attention Of either the officials
of the state board of education or of
the various school districts in the
state, which have had local examining
boards. The state school officials had
no objection to the maintenance of To-
cal examiners, and it is not known
that any municipality which had TX
aminers desired to abolish them.
The bill was introduced by Assem-
blyman Mylod of this couaty at the
request Of Assemblyman Christie of
Hudson county.
"Mr. Christie" Mr.. Mylod said,
handed me the bill and asked me to
put 1t in, as he had to leave the house
and wanted to get 1t In that day. In
order to accommodate a colleague 1
offered the measure. 1t was in that
way that my name was placed on 1t.
Personally l was not interested In the
bill except, as / say, through courtesy
to a fellow legislator"
MI. Mylod was not able to recall
anything further relative to its intro
duction.
When the bill was brought up In the
assembly for final reading it was re-
called. It was not Mr.. Mylod, but Mr..
Christie, who spoke for the bill. His
remarks were brief, and as the bill
had been reported favorably by the
house committee on education, OF
which Mr.. Christie was chairman, 1t
was passed without objection.
While the legal power of the local
boards of examiners will be eliminat-
ed by reason Of the passage Of the
law, local school authorities, 1t Is un-
derstOod, have found a means OF car
rying on the work that the examiners
formerly did and at the same time in
conformity with the school law as
they remain. Thus If there was any
Interior motive back Of Mr.. Christie's
desire to have the bill introduced the
plans will have miscarried.
