The southern Appalachian region
constitutes a wonderful field for pure
bred live stock. A greater relative
interest is being shown throughout
this section toward improved live
stock than in any other section of the
United States. 1t is a stock raising
country, having all the natural essen
tials necessary to produce good quail
ity. And again, the climatic condi-
tons are such that live stock can be
raised at less cost than in any other
section, and, besides, it is within easy
access o. the best markets of the coun-
try.
For all these reasons, the live stock
exhibit at the Appalachian Exposition
offers an excellent opportunity to the
producers of registered live stock to
show and advertise their particular
lines
The southern Appalachian region
has an established reputation for live
stock. For instance, East Tennessee
is noted for it's high class mules, jack
stock, dairy cattle, especially Jerseys,
and Berkshire, Duroc-Jersey, and Po-
land China hogs. In these particular
classes, as we'll as horses, the exhibits
this year will. surpass those of any 9TH
er show.
In one class alone in 1910 forty stall
lions were shown at one time, while
throughout the entire show the classes
varied in number from seven to forty.
Entries show that these figures will
be far exceeded in this years shows.

M0SiCAL FEATURES WILL
PROVE MOST ENJOYABLE

No entertainment can be complete
without music. This thought has been
in mind by the creators of the APP
palachian Exposition, which is to be
held in Knoxville, Tenn, September
II to October 1. Consequently one Of
the best-known and most talented
brass bands in the country has been
procured to furnish music at theSex
position, both day and night. Weber's
band. of Cincinnati, numbering more
than fifty pieces, and with a constel-
lation of vocal and instrumental SOLO
lists, the like of which have never be.
fore been heard in the south, will rem
der programs day and night during
the exposition period. The music of
this band will be diversified in selec.
ton. 1t will be of the popular class,
that appeals to all, and it will also
include many of the masterpieces of
sainted composers. In addition to this
band, several other bands and orches-
tras have been engaged to furnish mu.
sic at the various midway shows,
horse show, live stock show, pyrotech.
mic displays, etc.
One of the stellar features will be
tie children's chorus and the Oratorio
societys musicals, to be given under
the direction of Prof. c. S. Cornell,
musical director of the Knoxville city
schools. The programs to be sung by
these societies, which will include
more than 1000 voices, will surpass
anything of the kind ever attempted in
the south. Prof. Cornell has been
training his choruses for months, and
the singing at the exposition will be
the climax of this great work

COMMITTEE SEEK A
L0RIMER GUIDE
investigators Want Aid Of HIgh-cIass
Lawyers-A Broader Resolu-
tlon Is In.

Washington.-In answer to a de-
mand from members of the senate
that no witness who shall refuse to
produce his books or papers or him
self before the committee shall escape
and that no time shall be loEt for
fear that the statute of Limitation may
prevent the punishment OF any guilty
person the Lorimer investigating COM
mittee of the senate is seriously con-
sidering the hiring of a high-class at
torney to direct the legal work Of that
body.
In this connection, If the commit
tee shall decide it needs a lawyer, the
names of Jacob N. Dickinson, recent
ly secretary Of war; Louis D. Bran
deis of Boston, Samuel Untermyer and
John C. Spooner of New York and
Francis J. Heney of San Francisco
have been mentioned.
1t is the present intention of the
committee to meet the issue wher-
ever raised and to force the fighting
If there is to be any. There is al
ready on the committee Senator Ken
yon of Iowa, who has had more ex-
perience than any other one man in
the country with the law relating to
the authority of the government to
force the production of books and pa
pers from unwilling witnesses. SEN
ator Kenyon hesitates, however, to
devote himself exclusively and single
handed to that phase of the legisla-
ton and it is understood would great
ly prefer to assist some other law
yer in such matters than to forego
participation in other important
phases of the investigation with which
he is equally familiar
Carrying out the program agreed on
by the senate committee on privileges
and elections, Senator Dillingham; in
troduced in the senate q resolution
authorizing a subcommittee of eight
members to reinvestigate the charges
against Senator Lorimer of Illinois.
The subcommittee is authorized by
the resolution to sit when and where
1t pleases, to employ stenographers,
counsel and accountants; to send for
persons, books, records and papers;

early as practicable to the senate.
The committee is instructed special
ly to inquire fully into the sources
and use of the alleged Jackpot" or
any other fund affecting the election
of Mr.. Lorimer
Mr.. Culberson said the document
differed from the original resolution,
therefore he desired time to consid-
er it, and it went over.
The resolution named Senators Dill
bingham, Gamble. Jones, Kenyon.
Johnston, Fletcher, Kern and Lea and
directed them forthwith to investi-
gate whether Mr.. Lorimer is now en-
titled to retain his seat"
In all probability Senator Lorimer
will be the first witness to be called
and his examination may take sew
eral days.

w. e. D. STOKES SHOT BY
WOMEN DURING QUARREL
Owner Of Ansonia Hotel, New York,
Wounded Three TImes-Package
of Letters the Cause.

New York.-W. E. d. Stokes, own
er of the Ansonia hotel, proprietor
Of the Patchen Wilkes stock farm in
Kentucky, and who has been promi-
nent in this city for years. was shot
three times by two } ing women in
their apartment in West Eightieth
street.
The young women were Lillian Ora

and Ethel Conrad, eighteen years old.

Miss Graham's bullets infiicting two
wounds and Miss Conrad's one.
The first two shots from the sing
ers revolver penetrated Mr.. Stokes

bullet penetrated the lower part Of
his left leg. AT the Roosevelt hos
pital, X-ray photographs Of the wounds
were made, and pending the develop
ment Of these the surgeons declined
to say how serious the millionaire's
condition might become.
The possession of package of let
ters. both the girls and their victim
agreed, furnished the motive for the
shooting. The letters, it is said, were.
written by Mr.. Stokes to Miss Graz
ham before his second marriage,
which occurred last February.
There were two versions, however.
of the difficulty which arose over the
letters.
The hotel man asserted that the
young women. summoning him to
their apartment on pretense of giving
him the missives, locked him in and
then demanded $4,000 from him. un-
der penalty of death IL he didn't give
them the money.
The girls declared that they intend
ed to give him his letters without pay
ment; but that he grabbed Miss Gra-
ham by the throat and tried to choke
her, whereupon she fired in seh-de-
tense. Then, according to their story,
he wrested her revolver from her and
Miss Conrad, thinking that she might
be shot, got her own weapon and com
menced firing.
The two girls we're arrested q few
minutes after the shooting, With
them were taken into custody three
Japanese. employed in an adjoining
apartment, who. hearing the shooting,
thought Mr. Stokes was the aggressor
and pummeled him vigorously before
they realized their mistake The FIVE
prisoners are held in the West Sixty
eighth street police station.

of the state fair board by Francis A.
Cannon is carried out, a grand
pageant or spectacle. representative
of some phase of the Civil war, will
be one of the most prominent fea-

CAS- this is the f1ftieth anniversary
of the Civil war, it seems to me that
a pageant or spectacle could be
given which would meet with the ap-
prevail of all.
We could possibly arrange to re-
produce some battle of the war
There are many avs in which 1t
could be worked out. 1t would not
only have the merit of being an at
traction of the most novel character,
but IT would necessarily be educa-
tional as we'll as entertaining The
board approved the idea. No definite
action was taken with reference to
the aeroplane flight other than
that it was fully approved. 1t was
decided to allow 1000 to be ex-
pended for this feature. Roy Knab-
enshue made proposition TO the
board for a fight, but as negotiations
are under way with several other avia-
tors, no action was taken.
