JOYS CHASE GLOOM IN BOSTON

Boston, Mass, Aug. 12.-All Boston
! is today splitting its sides with laugh.
ter, and the streets are fairly covered
with buttons. And no wonder, for all
the funny men of the newspapers of
the country are in the Bean City today
to begin the annual convention of the
national organization of press humor-
lists.
Most of the joy-bringers and gloom
chasers of national reputation are
here today or will arrive soon. Cy
Warman, who is known the world over
as poet and yarn-spinner, is presi-
dent of the association. w. j. Lamp
ton, the creator of the brand OF near
poetry called, POLITICALLY, "yawps," is
the vice president. Thomas A. DAILY,
famed for his Italian dialect verses,
will represent Philadelphia. From
Houston, Texas, comes Judd Lewis, the
funny man of the Houston Post, and
from Yonkers comes Edwin A. Oliver,
who claims the long-distance joke
writing record with $4,000 witticisms
to his credit. All OF em, he admits,
are variations of the six original jokes
enumerated by Mark Twain
Others on the side-spltting program
are Wilbur d. Nesbit and Samuel d.
Kiser of Chicago, George Fitch of the
Peoria Transcript, Newt Newkirk OF
the Boston Globe and Bingtown Bugle,
Joe Cone of the Boston Herald. Will
Lexington Comfort, Holman Day, A.

n. d.. Strickland W. Gillian, the au-
thor of "Off Agin, On Ag'in, Gone
Agin, Finnegan"; Frank T. Seabright
of Los Angeles, Edmund Vance Cook,
and many others.
The public will be admitted to one
or two of the 'lit'ry" evenings of the
humorists and will have a chance to
hear their funny conversation just as
they make 1t up out OF their own
heads.

EDGE DRY GOODS co. SALE.

The Edge Dry Goods Company
opened its big special sale on time
this morning and it was a whizzer
from the very start. The house was
full of customers in just few min
utes after the doors opened and all
day there has been a perfect jam.
Eighteen salespeople have been EN-.
ployed to wait on the crowds and not
one of them has had an idle moment
all day. There are hundreds of real
bargains offered and the people are
not slow to take advantage of them.
The goods are conveniently ar.
ranged and all marked in plain figures
which is a great convenience to the
shoppers and also to the statesmen,
enabling them to wait on the crowds
with much more dispatch.
The sale will continue. all through
next week, ending Saturday night,
and no doubt the store will be crowd
ed every day with economic buyers
who know the value of a real bargain.

MAX HAXTHAUsEN AGREES
WITH A. B. DAVIDSON
Thinks Prohibitionists Should Be Ex-
communicated from Democratic
Party or New Party Should
Be Organized.

An Austin special to the Galveston
Tribune says:
In order to settle the prohibition
question once and for all time to come
as far as politics is concerned, Repre-
sentative Max Haxthausen OF Houston
is in favor of having a democratic
convention and putting the question
squarely up to the party. At this con-
vention the question would be to
either Danish prohibition or else bolt
the. party and form another party.
Mr.. Haxthausen says that If the
democratic party wants to be domi-
mated by the prohibtionists, why all
right; then 1t would mean the forma-
tion OF another party in Texas, and as
nucleus there would be $4,000 Ger
man voters in Texas ready TO join the
new party.
The Houston legislator does not be.
lieve that the prohibition question has
any right to be in the democratic
party, and agrees with the views ex
pressed a short time ago by Lleuten-
ant Governor Davidson that the pros
should be eliminated from the party
in Texas.
In practically all legislative matters
now being considered by the legisla-
ture. 1t may be said, there are two
parties-the anti.prohibition demo
Gratis and the prohibition democrats.
and on many questions the vote is
strictly party one.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SIDES
WITH LEGISLATURE
AGAINST GOVERNOR
Says Committees Have Inehrent and
General Powers to Investigate
Whatsoever Pertains to the Du-
ties of Legislators.
IBy Associated Press. |

Austin, Texas, Aug. 12.-In an opin-
ion OF approximately six thousand
words Attorney General Lightfoot to-
day holds that the senate election in
vestigating committee has inherent
and general powers to conduct any
Investigation about any matter upon
which 1t has power to legislate. 1t has
general powers to conduct inyestiga-
tions and secure data for the use and
information OF the present session of
the legislature that it may be correct
ly informed concerning the general
appropriation bill. the taxes necessary
to be raised for the maintenance of
the government, the redistricting
question, the request of the governor
for an appropriation of an additional
$27 800 for the enforcement of the
laws and for rewards for convictions,
each confers adequate and sufficient
subjects for legislation pending before
the special session, and that this en-
powers either branch to make a full
and complete investigation of any
Irregularities or frauds in connection
with the recent election on the con-
stitutional amendment
The attorney general, in the opin-
ion, argues it is necessary for the leg.
islature to know the extent TO which
the law has been violated in order to
determine how much money is neces-
sary to be appropriated for the en-
forcement of the law and the payment
OF rewards. He says the governor
evidently has reason TO believe that
there has been widespread violations
of the law or he would not have asked
for an extra appropriation for this
purpose.

Tropics Near Arctic Circle.

Superintendent A. Z. Snyder. COM
manding the Royal Mounted at White
horse, Yukon Territory, reported to
the commissioner in 1909 that from
north of the Porcupine there had come
repeated rumorS of the existence of a
wonderful tropical region which was
still inhabited by mastodons.
The Indians" concludes Superin-
tendent Snyder, report having seen
the gigantic tracks of these animals"
But little attention was paid to
these stories, until in November of
last year c. ]. Mcintyre and two COM
panions made a most amazing dis
covery north of the Porcupine. They
were travelling by dog sledge, with the
thermometer at 40 below, when, to
their astonishment, the temperature
began to rise so fast that within a
space of two hours they threw off
their warm garments, and the snow
was soft underfoot.
1T seemed" said Mcintyre, ''as
though We were suddenly passing from
winter into spring" Soon after they
came upon the first of numerless hot
springs, the snow disappeared entire
ly, and dense vegetation took the
place OF the stutned bush and timber
Of the plains. Because of necessarily
slow travel on foot the explorers were
not able to determine the extent of
this wonderful oasis in the midst of
an Arctic desolation. They found sew
eral good-sized rivers flowing with
warm water and teeming with fish,
and the country was alive with bear,
caribou, ducks, pheasants, wild geese,
md other game, and gold was found
n a number of the creeks. Mcintyre
will soon start at the head of sec
