The air is surcharged with Demo-
cratic politics this afternoon, there
seems to be a row in camp and the
Throop hotel is the center. Mr.. Brown
of Lawrence, the chairman of the ban
quet committee which is to pull off the
big Democratic doings in Topeka on
Washington's birthday took it upon
himself to invite Woodrow Wilson.
candidate for president, to be the prin-
cipal speaker.
This stirred up a hornets nest. Il
is altogether likely that the 21st or
the 22d of February will be the date
upon which the Democratic delegates
gather in Topeka to select delegates
to the Democratic national convention
at Baltimore next June. Now it
would be a fine thing for the Wilson
men to have Wilson here at that time
and just as the delegates were being
selected, have the professor make
whirlwind speech and capture these
same delegates.
That would certainly be a fine thing
for the Wilson people but how does it
effect the Democrats who favor Har-
mon and Champ Clark?
Well, it strikes them pretty hard,
and that's what the trouble is about
today. It is rumored that Colonel Mel
son of the Star wrote to Brown at
Lawrence a highly complimentary let
ter about Wilson. This was some days
ago when the Kansas City Star was
strong for Wilson. Mr.. Brown, as
Stunning that the Kansas City paper was
a big factor in Kansas politics, fell
for the Wilson compliment and invit-
ed him to speak. It is said that the
deal was something like this:
The Star, in addition to favoring Will
son, was to support George Hodges for
governor, Hugh Farrelley for United
States senator, and Henderson Martin
for a third term as chairman of the
Democratic state committee.
What will the answer be? It may be in
time for the Postscript Edition of this
paper, which appears about $50 tonight,
but not sooner, and it may result in there
being another speaker. or Wilson may be
taken with a severe cold and be too
hoarse to speak to the faithful in Kansas.

DECLINES NEWLY
CREATED POSITION
FreehoIders Must Find Super
intendent for Purchasing
of Supplies.

The Board of Freeholders are to-
day confronted with the task of find
ing a superintendent for the newly
created county supplies purchasing
department, owing to the declining
of the appointment by George P.
Coles yesterday. Members of the
board were not surprised when Coles
letter was read declining the posi-
read, and no names were offered in
substitution.
Coles appointment as well as the
resolution creating the department
was sanctioned at the meeting on
October II, vetoed by Supervisor Ed
ward Schickhaus and subsequently
passed over his head. The supervisor
declared that not only was such a
department unnecessary, but If or
ganized the members should be em>
ployed under the civil service rules,
to which the board is committed by
the platform on which 1t was elected.
A salary of 81, 500 a year was provid-
ed for the position, and it was gem
orally predicted that sooner or later
a staff of general assistants would
ne ddue0.
John +. Capen acknowledged his
acceptance of the honorary position
as one of the three architects APP
pointed as a board of county super
yising architects.
Another hearing will be given the
application of the Public Service
Railway Company for a permit to
make track connections at the Miller
street car barns In Frelinghuysen
avenue, which was tabled by the
road committee last Monday. The
application mysteriously bobbed UP
again yesterday at the board meet
ing. and Freebooter Gilbert explained
that members of the committee had
since decided that 1t would be for
the best interests of the people to
grant the request since the work of
laying tracks could not be done after
the ground had become frozen.

Are Exported in Larger Num-
bers Than Ever in the
Country's History.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5.-Exporta-
ton of eggs from the United States
last year, notwithstanding high
prices, was the largest ever recorded.
While current market reports and
current discussions of the cost OF
living indicate unusually high prices
in the domestic markets for this ar
ticle of consumption and commerce,
the Bureau Of Statistics, Department
of Commerce and Labor, is reporting
larger expectation in this line than
ever before. The number of eggs sent
to. foreign countries in the year end
ing with December, 1916 was thir-
teen and one-quarter million dozen
valued at two and three-quarter mil
lion dollars, while the highest record
OF any earlier calendar year was
eight and one-fourth million dozen
valued at one and three-fourths mil.
lion dollars, in 1907. In addition to
this, there were sent to Hawaii and
Porto Rico about 10000 dozen. Mean
time the importation of eggs in 1911
amounted to less than one million
dozen, valued at about, 100000,
Trade currents in this article OF
commerce have shown remarkable
change in recent years. Formerly the
importation of eggs was large and
the expectation small. A quarter of
century ago an importation Of fif-
teen million dozen eggs was not I'M
usual, the imports of 1884, 1885, and
1886 having in each year exceeded
sixteen million dozen. while the ex-
ports at that time averaged but about
one quarter of million dozen an
nually. Last year the imports were
less than million dozen, while the
exports, as above indicated, were
thirteen and 6ne-fourth million dozen.
The reduction in the importation OF
eggs occurred Immediately following
the enactment Of the tariff law Of 1890
which placed duty upon that article
of commerce, and the imports of eggs
which had ranged as high as sixteen
million dozen per annum. exceeding
fifteen million in the fiscal year 1890,
dropped to four million dozen in 1892,
one and three-fourths million dozen
in 1894, less than one million in 1896,
and quarter Of million in 1899,
since which time the number seldom
exceeded 100000 dozen until 1910.
when the number imported increased
to over 100000 dozen and in 1911 to
'cne and one-half million dozen. In

the calendar year 1911, as above in
dicated. the total was slightly less
than one million. On the export side,
the number sent out of the country
was, in the calendar year 1880, but
$4,000 dozen; in 1890, $4,000 dozen;
in 1897, one and one-third million
dozen; in 1900. practically six mil
lion dozen; in 1907, seven million
dozen, and in the calendar year 1911.
as already indicated, thirteen and one
! fourth million dozen, valued at 3d.
100000.
Cuba, Canada, Panama, and Mex
leo are the chief countries to which
eggs are exported from the United
States. The quantity exported in the
fiscal year 1911 was, to Cuba, four
and one-half million dozen, valued at
a little less than one million dollars;
! to Canada, two and one-half million
dozen. valued at little less than a
half million dollars; to Panama, o
little more than three-quatrers OF a
million dozen, and TO Mexico little
less than three-quarters OF million
dozen. The remainder went chiefly
to the vest Indian islands and Cen
trail American countries, practically
none going to Europe, although GER
tain European countries are large
importers Of this class Of merchan-
disc. On the other hand, the bulk
of the eggs imported in the fiscal
year 1911 came from England which
Is itself very large importer Of
eggs. OF the one and one-half million
dozen eggs imported in the fiscal year
1911, one and one-half dozen we're
from England and about a quarter Of
a million from China and HoHgkonS.
This item of eggs imported does no.
include the yolks brought from other
countries, of which the quantity I'M
ported from Canada amounted IS
100000 pounds and from Germany
IS 900 pounds in the year ending June
3o,1911.
This large expectation of eggs in
the face of the extremely high prices
existing in the United States sug-
gests that prices of this class of mer-
chandise must also be high in other
parts of the world, and this is con.
frmed by consular reports reaching
the Department of Commerce anl
Labor, which indicate that prices OF
eggs and other provisions are un-
usually high in England, France, Aus.
tria, Germany, Spain! Japan, and many
other countries. s211Gonss ~
