Chicago, February 16.-A woman regis tered at a hotel as Mrs. Teresa K. Bat ten of New York said last night that she is possessed of $50O,0OO which had been stolen and that she Is on her way from Reno, Nev., to New York to pay the money back from whom it had been taken.
 Mrs. Batten said she once had been the wife of David Rothschild. president and confessed wrecker Of two New York bank ing institutions, who died in Sing Sing in 1907. She said 1t was her purpose to re- store the s5O0,O00 to the depostors of these institutions, the Federal bank of New York and the Globe Security company. The liabilities we've upward of $2000000. she said. and that her understanding was that the receivers had already paid @ cents on the dollar
 Mrs Batten said that she learned last November that she had been left the money. She is under the care of a physi- clan and nurse.

Washington, February 16.-(Special.)- When you go to the market and your butcher informs you that during the night bacon has advanced cents on the pound you vince a. little and pay the price. But did you ever stop to consider the az gregate burden that Is piled upon your shoulder if the price stays up cents for a whole year?
 If the same advance has been made on all the meats you buy, and this is more than probable, the annual toll on account of the insignificant advance is $22 if you have the average family of i've.
 Your family of five persons consumes HOO pounds of meat each year. If 1t does not by reason of veget arian habits or pow erty somebody else is getting more than his share. You are entitled to HOO pounds pounds or 220.5 pounds per head and if you do not consume 1t, some other per son does.
 Did you ever stop to think that an ad- vance of l cent per pound on all the meats consumed by the 135,0O0 people of Birmingham means an additional tax on the cost of living of s297.ooO per year?
 If you intend to figure this out any fur ther put a cake of ice to your head be- fore trying 1t.
 Americans, next to the Australians, are the greatest meat eaters in the world.

term of Speaker Cannon, and that gentle
 man used his government automobile to his hearts content. He became so enam-
 ored of the joy of automobiing that al
 the end of his term he purchased one of
 his own and puts it to good use. While Champ Clark does not own an au- | tomobile or allow the government to fur nish him one, he enjoys riding. and, strange to say, he enjoys riding with his l predecessor, Joseph G. Cannon. l Speaker Clark Is seen very often riding
 about the streets and avenues of Wash 1 ington in MT. Cannon's machine The
 speaker and the ex-speaker are real good friends.
 | While Speaker Clark lives almost three miles from the capitol he always walks up In the morning if the weather will permit He enjoys walking and declares | that the exercise is refreshing and puts him in good condition for the long hours that he is held at the speakers desk.
 When the weather will not permit he rides on the street cars. taking his chances with the strap hangers and the corn grinders.
 On his way home at midnight from a re- cent democratic caucus, Mir. Clark hung by strap and was jostled by the crowd in a car that was packed to it's fullest ca pacity.
 As we neared his home he remarked. If 1t hadn't been so late I would have walked. Walking beats this all to death. 'e

MERIDIAN PETIT
 JURIES DICHARGED

Meridian Miss, February 16.-(Special,) ) The present term of court is so well up with the docketed cases that yesterday the petit jures for the week were dis charged, and the court is now resting on oars awaiting the result of the grand jury investigations. Up to date the grand jury has returned 9 indictments. but nothing of a sensational nature has de- veloped.
 It Is not thought probable that the grand jury will find out who left empty whisky bottles in one of the rooms of the courthouse, but the judges special charge on the subject has had wholesome effect, and 1t would be hard matter to find a man brave enough to enter the courthouse with concealed flask of poison in his pocket
