Slater, Mo-, June 81. A. Jay
cox, day yardmaster for the Chica-
go and Alton Railroad at Slater,
has been humming the 'houn'
dawg" song until men on his divi-
sion have organized movement to
send him to Baltimore for the Ma
tional Democratic Convention as a
booster for Champ Clark. Jaycox
is able to mimic well the various
tones of the famous Missouri fox
hunter. He performs the limitations
so perfectly that the Missouri dele
cation has furnished his transpor-
tation and will depend upon him
to root in the language Of the
"houn dawg."

FARMING DELAYED IN
GREEN RIVER DISTRICT

greensboro, Ky3 June 9.-Re-
ports from every section of the
Green river district are that the
farmers are complaining on account
of the lack of rain and that crops
are suffering considerably on ac-
count of the scarcity of rain. The
tobacco setting has been held back,
and the growing crops have been
retarded by the want of rain, and
the cool nights experienced recently
have been even worse for them.
Corn is said to be suffering more
than any other crop.

FAVORS GIVING MORE POWER.
Judge Cowan Supports Interstate
Commerce Commission Bill.

The desirability of clothing the inter-
state commerce commission with final
power was argued before the House inter-
state and foreign commerce committee
yesterday by Judge S. H. Cowan, attor-
ney for the Southwestern Cattle Growers
Association. Judge Cowan advocated the
enactment of a bill introduced by Rep
resentative Smith of Texas. democrat,
providing that the findings of the COM
mission on questions of fact should be
conclusive. except where the constitu-
tional rights of the parties to the litiga-
ton are violated.
The Smith bill would virtually elimi-
nate the commerce court and leave with
the other federal courts the adjudication
of all claims for damages arising out of
the commissions rulings
On the suggestion of Representative
Esch Of Wisconsin, republican, the COM
mittee deferred action on the bill until
it had been submitted to the interstate
commerce commission for inspection.

from the service and a section granting
this right to the employee will be found
