BLUE RIBBON PEACHES.
Some Of the Finest Elbertas Ever
Raised Here.

To Stanley Hornbeck of this city
goes the blue ribbon for growing the
largest Elberta peaches. He brought
to this office this morning a basket
containing nine peaches each of which
weighed more than one pound. They
were perfectly ripened and developed
and the flavor was-well, simply
great, immense. Mr. Hornbeck sold
his crop several months past at one
dollar per bushel but says that now
he could easily get $t.5O. They were
bought by buyer from Texas, but will
probably be shipped to northern mark

culture, has sent to Secretary VIII
son, il is said, a defense" in which
he refused to plead guilty to the
charge of having even technically Vi
olated the statute regulating the sal
aries of experts The intmatou is
abroad that if there Is to be any
rcprimand from President Taft, Doc
tor Wiley will insist that it be pass
ed along 20 the persons who estab-
liahed the precedent under which he
acted in the Rusby case
It is said Doctor Wiley has taken
the position that. in arranging for
the payment OF Doctor Rusby for
expert services, he acted under the
precedent established when the rui-
ing was made that stretched the
statute to cover the creation of the
Rem5en board, and the payment of
salaries and the disbursement of the
immense expenses incurred by that
board. Friends of Doctor Wiley say
Secretary Wilson knew Of the ar
rangement with Doctor Rusby from
the beginning
About the Remsen Board.
Doctor Wiley's friends assert that
the Remsen board was not contem-
plated By law; that there was no au-
thoriry for its creation: that import

sen boards investigation and decision
i'm the benzoate of soda case actually
cost from 100000 to S15O.OO0. and
that in return for this expenditure.

BILL RESTRICTS
CUPID'S PROVINCE
Little Dan Must stop at the Color
Line, intsrnsrriage Being Barred.
From a Staff Correspondent.l


LANSING, Mich, Feb. 1.-The fight
In the house of representatives owe:
the woman suffrage resolution yester
day afternoon. was prefaced by one
equally spirited, over a bill. introduc
ed by Rep. Verdier, OF Grand Rapids
prohibiting the intermarriage OF Whit
persons with those OF other races. The
bill made such intermarriage a felony,
punishable by $500 to $1,000 fine and
imprisonment for not more than Ave
years. and permitted a husband 20
testify against a wife or wife against
2 husband in trials under the. law.
The bill was carried by vote Of
IS TO 81. II was opposed by Rep.
Heckert and Rep. Rankin both veter.
ans Of the civil war. Judge Heckegt
pointed out that the laws or that ma.
ture, dating from 1888, were all re.
pealed in 1889. and that there had
not been mesc-than 100 intermal-
riages OF whites and blacks since then.
He declared that the bill as to re-
place a statute evolved from the
warped and prejudiced mind of the
period OF human slavery
Rep. Verdier defended his bill, and
was backed up by Rep. Bricker, who
reused the anger Of the venerable
Judge Heckert by asking if IL was the
sense OF the opponents Of the bill that
they would be willing for their daugh.
tiers to marry colored men
Rep. Rankin said that the bill IL IL
became law would merely result In
rendering children illegitimate. and
would have little result on any unde.
sirable conditions.
