CONVICT-MADE GOODS
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Senator Nelson to Take Up Merits
Of Bill Limiting the
Regulation.

Senator Knute Nelson will appear be-
fore a subcommittee of the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee Monday to discuss
the merits of a measure limiting the
regulation of interstate commerce in
convict-made goods.
The measure provides that merchan-
disc produced wholly or in part by con-
Wet labor shall be subject to the laws
Of the State into which 1t is sent and
that It's shipment in original packages
will not deter the action OF state laws.
The subcommittee. of which Senator
Brown, is chairman, considered the ad-
visibility of reporting the bill at once,
but decided that hearings should be
conyict-made goods, the Industrial side
OF the prison having been developed
rapidly and in many directions, chiefly,
however, in binding twine manufacture.

Mynheer Rizsdizks Halls From
Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht,
Holland.

The Navy Department has sold the
U. 8. s. Atlanta to a man whose name
cannot be pronounced by officials Of the
department.
An appraised value of s10,500 was
placed on the vessel, but Frank Rizs-
dicks scheeploouerji, Of Hendrix Ido-
Ambacht, Holland, paid s2l,2 200 for 1t.
SO unusual is the name of the pur-
chaser that the officials who had charge
of the sale refused to sign the contract
at first, fearing that the monacker sign
ed to the bid was intended as joke.
But Mynherr Scheepsslooperit, by wire-
less, hastened to assure the United

WOODS DEFENDERS
FIGHT TO PREVENT
REPORTS ADOPTION
Congressman Prince Leads
In House Wrangle Over
the Army Bill.

With prospects that the wrangle
would continue all day, the House
this afternoon became involved in
heated discussion of the conference
report on the army appropriation bill,
which was recently accepted by the
Senate after the friends OF General
Wood had led stubborn fight to re-
ject the conference agreement on an
item that would legislate the chief
Of staff out Of his present office on
March 4, next.
Congressman Prince. an Illinois Re-
publican, who was one OF the House
conferees, and who refused to at
tach his name to the report, opened
the battle against the conference
agreement in the House. He declared
authority. had cut out legislation
proposed by the House and Inserted
legislation which had never been dis
cussed in either body and that the
high handed. He was especially Wig
orous in his denunciation of the item
in the agreement which would legis-
late General Wood out of office.
The conference item which will di.
vorce General Wood from the oIfice Of
chief of staff provides that after March
g. 1913 no officer shall be detailed or
permitted to serve as chief or stan
''unless he shall have served at least
ten years as a commissioned officer OF
the line of the army in grades below
that of brigadier general
AS Geenral Wood does not fulfill the
requirements Of this legislative rider, he
will retire as chief of staff in the event
the conference report Is approved and
the army appropriation bill becomes a
law In its present shape.
Before the fight Ia ended in the House
1t Is probable there will be another air
ing Of the Wood-Ainsworth controversy,
as each officer has strong defenders In
the lower body. Chairman Hay, Of the
Military Affairs Committee, is friend
of the deposed adtutant general, and it
Is understood that II was largely
through the influence of Mr.. Hay and
Senator Warren that the conferees
agreed 20 the rider which will end Gen.
eral Woods career as chief of staff.

 Tt is simply remarkable the way the commercial industry is forging ahead-not steadily, but by leaps and bounds. The year 1912 not on ly promises to be busy enc, but by the orders already placed, am pos itive that it is going to be a ban ner one.
 Municipalities, corporations and even smaller firms, who have use for only single job, are changing their horse equipment fer the new just as speedily as it can be brought about. New York City is to spend $716,000 for the purchase of 150 pieces of self-propeled fire apparatus, and it is expected that within a short time that the entire horse-drawn equipment will be chan ged
 The fact that they have appro- priated this amount of money prov es that the claims of manufacturers were well founded and that the in- VeStigatiOn was very satisfactory"
