 While he was still governor, Mir. Clay was elected to succeed Hon. John Mckinley in the national senate. In this new orbit he was brought Into contact with the giants of the nation, and the services rendered by him are a part of the national history. It was through the efforts of Senator Clay that the pre- emption laws, discrimina- ting in favor of settlers were enacted. Multitudes have been the recipients of the benefit of this benehcent legislation without knowing or even thinking of its source. By means of this law, thousands have been able to procure homes on the public domain without which law 1t would have been impossi- pie.

ITO your inquiry touching the COM

lows:
The registration statute (Acts 1911.
p. 371) in Section provides:
THE expense of registration and
preparation therefor. and returns
thereof. shall be paid out of the county
treasury by the Board of Commission
ers election expenses are paid.
Section 1s of the act provides:
Each member of the election board
shall receive for his services at the
rate of $500 per day, for the time
necessarily engaged in the discharge of
his duties such member.
Under this section and under the
construction which has been given by
the Supreme Court to statutes contain
ing analogous provisions, L am of the
opinion that the members of the regis

EVIDENCE OF ASSASSINATION.
Schepps Wanted by District Attorney
Whitman to Complete It.

New York, Aug. l2.-The arrest of
Sam Schepps at Hot Springs is con.
sidered the most important develop.
ment in the RosenthaI murder case
since the confession of Jack Rose and
"Bridgie" Webber led TO the Indictment
of Police Lieut.. Charles Becker
The district attorney wanted Schepps
to complete the evidence of the assas-
sination plot. A stratling feature in
connection with the arrest of Schepps is
that the local police appear TO have had
no hand in his capture.
Late last night Deputy Police Com
missioner Dougherty was in ignorance of
the arrest except through newspaper dcs-
patches.
Schepps is charged with conspiracy
to murder Rosethal. He rode in the
grey automobile which the murderers
used and it is alleged he paid gangsters
after the murder in front OF the Hotel
Metropole.
He has been missing from home
since July Is, the date of the murder
and it is said Schepps was furnished
with $1,000 for the purpose of paying
the assassins. This sum is supposed
to have been divided by "Dago" Frank,
White" Lewis. Lefty" Louie and
'Gyp" the Blood" The latter two are
the only missing men now wanted.

TAFT LEADS RESCUE
OF WOMEN IN AUTO
Presidents Suggestion to Chauffeur APP
preciated by Occupants of I'm
perilled Car.

Washington, Aug, l2.-President Taft
his personal aide, Maj. Thomas /.
Rhoads. and w. c. Heron, the presi-
dents brother-in-law, took part in a
rescue of two women in distress in Rock
Creek park late Friday night.
A mile down the forest shaded road
through the park the presidents ear
sighted another big automobile just a
few rods ahead. Its front wheels aud
part of the body were hanging over
the bank above Rock Creek and looking
ready to plunge down at any moment.
Two frightened women and the driver
we're looking at the machine, but were
apparently helpless. The three oceu.
pants of the presidents car held a
hurried consultation and the presidents
chauffer was called upon to give ex-
pert testimony
No one could solve the problem for
few minutes, but MIR. Taft finally came
to the rescue himself,
Turn the car around, Robinson" he
said to the chauffeur, put on your
skid chain and we will pull them out"
Robinson obeyed orders and the i'm.
perrilled machine was pulled back to the
roadway. It's occupants refused to give
their names, but they recognized the
president and thanked him heartily.

follow every stage of the legislation.
That enabling the interstate commerce
commission to compel railroads to dis
pose of their holdings in water lines,
when the commission judges this to he
for the benefit of the public, affects the
New England situation particularly. but
also has an equal bearing upon railroads
in other parts of the country.
The amendment of course. if &C.
cepted by the House, would put these
railroads more than ever into the power
of the interstate commerce commission,
although it was proposed by Senator
Bourne of Oregon. One can not say
positively what the outcome will be, but
it looks as rather probable that the
House will accept it and thus the pro-
vision would become law.
There will hardly be prolonged fight
over the canal bill in conference. as
legislators at the Capitol view the sit
uation. The House may oppose the
extension of free tolls to American
owned ships in the oceanic trade, hut,
Of course, favors free tolls for those
