HAND BETRAYS
AWFUL TRAGEDY
MAN FALLS INTO CONCRETE
FRAME AND WAS UNDlS-
COVERED.

KEOKUK, Ia, Dec. ia human
hand protruding from tons of ce-
ment, the frames about which were
removed several days ago, was dis
covered today in one of the concrete
pillars Of the government dam across
the Mississippi river. 1t explains the
disappearance several weeks ago of
one of the laborers.
The mans body is imbedded in the
solid concrete and is lifely to stay
there, as to blast it out would destroy
not only the body, but great part of
one of the largest blocks of cement
composing the dam.
The disappearance of laborer was
noted several weeks ago, but it was
not known that he had fallen into the
frame, into which tons of concrete
were being dumped.

There viii Be a Division on House
Resolution for Adjournment for the
Christmas Holidays-Too Much
Time Given as Reason.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Demo
cratic senator's at caucus today au
thorized five of their number to form
ulate plan of action with reference
to the presidential appointments now
pending. In the meantime noInina
tons in the army, navy and diplomat
| ic service will receive consideration
just as they would if no political
questions were involved. The .ob.
lection of the democrats is directed
especially at nominations in other
branches of the government service.
The committee will be Senator
Martin, chairman; Senator 9oke
Smith, Senator Clark, of Arkansas;
Senator Stone and Seantor Owen.
The committee is instructed by the
caucus to obtain information regard
ing the nominees and to make IN in.
vestigation into precedents.
Regular republicans in the senate
today practically abandoned hope of
electing Senator Gallinger president
pro tenn, when Senator La Toilette
let it be known that he probably
would not vote for the New Hamp-
shire member. Senators Bristow,
Dixon and Poindexter have been the
only progressive republicans known
to be actively opposed to the regular
nominee since the last session. and
it had been suggested that with SEN
ator La Follette's support he proba.
bly, would be elected.
The expectation now is that when
Senator Bacon's term as president
pro tenn expires Dec. 16, Mr.. CALM
ger will be chosen to succeed him
for a brief term and that the plan of
alternating between the republican
and demochratic senators, which was
adopted last session, will be contin.
ued until March A.
The senate will not adopt without
division the house resolution for an
of two weeks for the
Christmas holidays from Dec 10 to
Jan. 2. Senator La Toilette objected
today to an immediate report7890S
today to an immediate considera.
ton of a favorable report on the res
olution by the appropriation commit.
tee and moved to adjourn. The mo-
tion prevailed and the subject went
over until tomorrow. Senator Lafol.

ed the time fixed for the recess to be
too extended in view of the crowded
condition of business.

ciNATED STOCK.

MANHATTAN. Kan, Dec. 13.-The
life of young pig can be insured
against cholera for 20 cents il its
mother is vaccinated. That's pretty
cheap insurance, too, on an animal
that will be worth SIS to $40. If its
mother is not an immuninzed animal
the cost of immunity for the pig will
be about 80 cents.
A hog cannot be vaccinated that
cheaply in every state but Kansas is
making anti-hog-cholera serum on
large scale and consequently can af-
ford to sell it cheaper than avn other
state. About 100000 cubic cent?
meters of serum are made at the col
lege plant every month. Some pri-
vate manufacturing concerns are sell.
ing serum at Just twice the rate
charged by the agricultural collage,
which is one and one half cents a
cubic centimeter.

GALLATIN, Tenn, Dec. 13.--Sum-
ner countians take good deal OF
pride in the fact that the famous au-
thor, Opie Read, was reared IN this
vicinity. Every village for miles
around has claimed that it was the
birthplace of Mr.. Read, but letter
received by Will Sprouse, of this
county, gives authentic information
on the subject The part relating to
this question is as follows:

Gallatin when / was three weeks old,
and doubtless you will believe me
when | say that | do not have a very
vivid recollection of the trip. My
early boyhood wa sspsnt in Gallatin,
fishing for minnoWs in the town creek
and swimming in neighboring pond
whose waters were thick enough to
have been patted out into mud pies.
My first schooling was under an old
fellow, who would first larrup fell
low and then tell him kindly that he
must get his lesson or the Lord would
not love him. Afterward | was stu
dent in Neophogen College, an insti-
tuition which has passed away. 1t
was severely classic, very much a
school as David Copperfeld found
when he went to Dr. Strong. But you
know what boys life is-a spring
time with its rainy days, its joys and
sorrows, too, for the troubles CT a
boy are just as real to him as the
troubles Of man.

WHY NOT PLAY

DYER THINKS PUBLIC lDOL'ZA
TON OF ATHLETES OUT OF
PROPORTION.

NASHVILLE, Dec. left we din
not have athletics in Vanderbilt a
good many of those students perhaps
would never make grades" said Prof
|G. w. Dyer, of Vanderbilt University
yesterday.
"As matters athletic are now at
this institution, man has to make a
certain grade before he can partici-
pate in any form of intercollegiate
athletics, and this makes them work
all the harder-harder than many
would otherwise. So as matters How
stand it is rather unusual for any of
them to fall down in their grades,
though good many others in the uni
versity do.
THE athletic interests of a great
university such as this must be
watched carefully. l do not believe
in discounting athletics, but when any
such trouble arises | think that we
should stress scholarship all the
more.
I'm fact, we don't stress scholar
ships enough. A man goes out on
the athletic field and makes good-he
Immediately becomes a hero in the
other students estimation. And yet
when a man spends weeks and weeks
on a hard debate, and finally wins
out, nothing is SAID about it, and in
fact many of the students do not even
know it,
why not take the champion de-
batter. or the champion essayist, and
put their pictures In the paper and
crow over them as we do the heroes
of the gridiron and of the diamond p"

JOHN H. HAMMOND
TO SUCCEED REID
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT FIR
BANKS HAS ALSO BEEN
MENTIONED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-President
Taft will not allow the embassy at
London to remain long vacant, not
withstanding the short time his ap-
pointee will have to serve. On his
trip to Panama the President will
give this matter his attention and
will select the man whose name he
will send to the senate for the honor.
There is no doubt that the senate will
confirm the appointment, as it will
within the list of those that are not
objected to.
The name most mentioned tonight
in this connection is that of John
Hays Hammond, who was the special
ambassador of the United States to
the coronation of King George. 9th
ers who have been mentioned even
this early are former Vice President
Fairbanks and former Ambassador
Joseph M. Choate, who preceded Mr..
Reid in this office. Regardless of his
participation in the Jahison raid in
South Africa, Mr.. Hammond was ac-
ceptable as the American ambassa-
dor also.
Mr.. Reid served twice as a special
ambassador before being sent as the
regularly accredited representative
of his government to the court Of
St. james.

FARMERS ARE SLOW
TO SELL TURKEYS
AT REDUCED PRICES
WITH RESULT THAT CHRIST.
MAS SHIPMENT WILL NOT
EQUAL THANKSGIVING.
Less Than Half the Number Shipped
From Maury County Last Month
vii Go to the East During the Pres.
ent Season-Bone Business.

Thanksgiving big business in tur
keys will not be duplicated in this
county for the Christmas trade. That
fact is plain. The awful slump in
the turkey market in the East just be
fore Thanksgiving, and the conse
quent loss of thousands of dollars to
the dealers over the country has made
the buyers fight rather shy OF the
turkey question with the result that
shipments from this county are go.
ing to be much less than usual.
It is expected that the dealers here
and at Culleoka will get about four
cars this week for the Northern mar
ket They are paying thirteen cents
for the fowls, as compared with f1f-
teen cents for the Thanksgiving bird,
but the market Is so uncertain that
they are paying this price with a good
deal of fear and trembling.
Farmers are very slow to part with
the turkeys at the lower prices. Hav-
ing received fifteen cents for their
birds at Thanksgiving they are not in
hurry to let them go at less tnan
that figure. However, it is practi-
cally certain that if they sell at all
this year they will take thirteen
cents. It is estimated that only two
or three cars at the outside, probably
not more than one, will be sent out
next week, which will leave large
number of turkeys in the county I'M
sold.
Local dealers estimate that there
will be in the neighborhood of from
five to ten cars of turkeys left in the
county after the Christmas trade is
over due to the fact that farmers will
not part with them at the reduced
prices. OF course some of these
fowls will be marketed during the
winter, but the great bulk of the tur-
key crop Is cashed out either at
or Christmas.
Produce dealers are handling an
immense amount of hog bones at this
time. Hog packing is big industry
in this county and the bones are ship
ped by the local produce houses in
immense quantities.

South, there exists harmony and a
fellowship among the people OF the
two races In that section because
such is the negro's respect for the
superiority of his former master that
he would commit self-destruction be-
fore he would entertain a thought of
matrimony with a girl of the Gauca,
sion race
1.-The negro question" continued
Mr.. Roddenberry, stands out in the
example of Johnson's marriage in
Chicago as presenting to you as grave
a negro question as ever confronted
your brethren in the South, and ! say
to you in no bitterness that we will
be glad in the spirit of love and fra
ternity to aid you in it's proper and its
wise and worthy solution. The case
cited is not an isolated case. The
records of Boston, Chicago and other
cities show that negroes less promi-
nent, of less notoriety, are from time
to time binding themselves in matri-
mony with the women of the white
race. That does not happen in the
South.
IF the power, political or other
wise, of the African in those states
is so great where the division be-
tween political parties may be so
close that you cannot solve 1t by
state constitutional amendments or
state legislation, we are ready for the
Southern country apprehend not a
dissenting voice-to, join You in
adopting a resolution in congress sub
hitting to the people of all the states
a constitutional amendment that will
make it impossible forever hereafter
for a brutal African prizefighter to
join his name with that of an Amer
lean Caucasian woman,
1T is detrimental to the greatest
welfare of both races, If we may re-
fer to the whites and the blacks as
two distinct races, for such cvndi-
ton to exist. We can do no greater
violence or injustice to the negro
than to let our statutes permit him
to entertain the hope that at some fu-
ture time he or his offspring may be
married to a woman of the white
race. 1t will bring conflicts in the
future years-black, dark, gruesome
and bloody. The consequences will
bring humiliation to that race which
we have protected in our land for all
,hese years. And the states that per-
nitted the intermarriage of races will
bear their just share of responsible
y for such a condition.
81 challenge any man of wisdom |
md insight into the future to conjec- |
ure to conjecture or prophesy wheth-
n the result will be for the good of !
his country. 1t is debasing, ultra
lemoralizing and un-American."
