London, Aug. although he had

self and his wife on board the steam

compelled to stay here to help pass
the veto bill through the house OF

The countess, who was Miss Bea-

horse in the kings household creates
for him a strong moral obligation to

Sc VATOR ROOT OPPOSED
TO SENATOR LORIMER
Argument Directed to Legal
Phase Of Situation

Washington, d. c., Feb. 3.-That
Senator William Lorimer, of Illinois,
holds his seat as the result of bribery
and on that account should not be
permitted to continue in the senate,
was the conclusion reached by Sena-
tor Elihu Root and announced by him
in an argument on the floor of the SEN
ate today.
The New York senator held the I'M
divided attention of his colleagues rs
he discussed the report of the commit
tee on privileges and elections by
which Mr. Lorimer was exonerateG
Mr. Roots position had been a ques-
ton of much speculation and so high
is the esteem in which his opinion is
held that it is known that some mem
bers of the senate have held in abey-
ance their own opinions until they
could hear from him.

SHIP NEARLY WRECKED
BY LOON IN STORM
Threw Entire Grew Into a
Panic

South Norwalk, Conn, FEB. Capt
Willis Bell, of the steamer Phoebe
came into this port this afternoon
with a broken nose, two black eyes
and a wierd tale, but with the evi-
dence to back up his yarn
Bell states that during the gale ot
Wednesday night, when he was buck
ing into the teeth of the wind in Green
port Bay, a monster loon, flying be
fore the wind and powerless to con
troll himself, smashed through the
forward window of the pilot house
and struck him in the face.
Although the glass was three
eighths of an inch thick and the for2e
of the birds blow knocked Capt Ben
down, the loon was seemingly unhmt
and put up a terrific fight with the
crew in the pilot house, before it was
killed with a club.
The bird almost caused the sinking
of the steamer, for while the captain
lay unconscious on the floor the
ship reared around broadsida to the
storm and was nearly swamped be
fore any of the crew were able to
reach the wheel
Capt. Bell has the loon. which
stands feet, inches high and
has wings that spread out over five
feet.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

Mr.. A. Hilton, General Pas
senger Agent of the FRISCO
RAILROAD, is a great believer
in NEWSPAPER Advertise
ING.
His road has used big space in
newspapers throughout the coun-
try to advertise the Texas Gulf
Coast country, and the advertis-
ing has been very successful.
Mr.. Hilton states that in four
years FORTY-TWO THOU
SAND PEOPLE have located in
the section between Houston and
Brownsville, Texas, on the St.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico
Railway, as a DIRECT RE-
SUIT OF THE .ADVERTIS-
ING.
That, of itself, is a TIRE
MENDOUS RESPONSE to adj
vertising.
The vegetable output from this
territory this coming fall will
total over four thousand carloads,
and land has advanced in price
from So to $75 per acre.
The Washington herald., 1911-04-05

There are now 100000 acres
under irrigation and it is expected
that 100000 more acres will be
added this year.
ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN
ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH
NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY,
supplemented by explanatory
booklets and literature which
were used to follow up inquiries.
1t took the railroad companies
many years to learn the REAL
value of newspaper advertising,
but now that they are employing
it so successfully, they are the
most enthusiastic indorsers of
newspaper advertising in the
country.
They find that it is the
CHEAPEST FORM OF PUB
LICITY. too, as it enables them
to reach MORE PEOPLE and
get quicker response than
through any other form of pub
licity.
Other big corporations will
find newspaper advertising equal
y. Improbable, if they give a trial.

Although this plan has been in opera
tion only a few days, they have already
been forced to increase the selling and
demonstrating forces, and have installed
several telephone trunk lines into this
department.
1t is a notable fact that, though the
demonstrators in this department make
several hundred calls a day, the service
rendered by the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company is in every
way so perfect that the firm has ex-
perienced at no time since inaugurating
this novel plan the slightest difficulty
with the service.
Since this house has been handling
