FINANCES RUNNING LOW :?
Washington Dispatch Indicates
Clark Wilson Barrels Have Busted.

Washington, May 4.--The cam
paign funds OF Speaker Clark and
Governor Wilson have shrunk until
they look like 80 cents compared
with their former selves. The mana
gers OF the respective headquarters
here are curtailing to meet eX-
penses. A number Of field boosters
have been called in.
Senator Stone, OF Missouri, who
has had much to do with promoting
the boom OF Mr.. Clark, has COM
planned to friends that the money
has stopped coming in. The Wilson
workers have been financially de-
funct five times since the campaign
opened.
1t is believed that the discontinue
ing OF contributions to the Clark
campaign just at this juncture is
part Of the plan to check the pro-
greSs OF the Clark band wagon Up
TO week ago, before he carried Mas
sachuscttS, the Clark managers had
money for the birds, but now some
OF the Office force is out Of work.
For month or longer % or 80
persons have been busy at Clark
headquarters at tho Ebbitt. The
Wilson publicity bureau in the Mum
sey Building has had two rooms full
OF young men and women, sending
out Wilson literature.
This has changed. The money IS
giving out and contributions arc not
coming in as they did in March and
April

New Way Of Digging Bait.


(Ahbevillc Press and Banner.D
Sandwiched between Blease and
Jones literature in The Piedmont, we
find very odifying paragraph on
digging bait, something new and
unique in that line discovered by Col.
Bill Sherrctte. 1t is a great labor
saving device in bait digging and is
as follows:
'You take a broom handle three
and a half feet long" says Sherrette
"drire it into the spot likely to be
inhabited by angle worms. Leave an
end sticking up about six inches
Ihcn take a rough board and rub it
over the top Of the broom handle
IhiS causes a vibration Of the earth
and the worms, angry and disturbed,
Will work their way out OF the
ground. fellow can get pail full
OF worms in short time"
But. Colonel" asked a reporter,
"docsn't it take work to rub the
board on top Of the stick?"
Get a negro to rub the board!"
exclaimed the Colonel.
1t IS very clear that Booker wants
to get down to Reedy and fish for
mud cats and horney heads. You
can't do It, Harold, you've got to
stick to Blcase and Jones and Wilson
and Harmon and scissors and glue.
It's the price we pay for being worth
while.
No can OF bait and fly hook for us
rest. Only the happy folks can en-
JOY such beatitude. But we will re-
member how to dig bati hereafter

any way.

isICHESON Il MORMON ELDER?
Woman Makes Amdavit That He Has
Been for Years.

Boston, May 10.-Clarence v. T.
Richeson, under sentence of death
for the murder OF Avis Linnell, has
been Mormon elder and secretly
connected with the Mormon organi-
zation for several years, although
preaching from a Baptist pulpit, ac-
cording to sworn statement just
made before w. A. Thibodeau, an at
torney and justice OF the peace.
Tho author Of the affidavit, Mrs
Louie E. Britain, claims to have
been formerly connected with the
Mormon church, and to have been a
celestial wife Of New York man
who IS at the head Of the Mormon
organization in the East.
In the statement Mrs. Britain as
scrts that she has known Richeson
for several years, first meeting him
three years ago at a Mormon confer
cncc on Staten Island, where she says
tho Baptist clergyman was recognize
ed as ono Of the Mormon elders, and
was particularly active in the at
fairs Of the conference. She has
since seen him many times in and
about Boston, and has given him the
Mormon signs, which always were
answered, sho claims.
She says she attended a Mormon
conference at Providence, II. l., a
little over year ago, at which
RichcsOn was present, and that she
received commands from him as
Mormon elder at Boston gathering
Of the leaders Of the church.
Mrs. Britain has become known
during the past few years to evangel-
ical workers in and about Boston. In
an interview tonight she said that
to the best Of her belief Richcson was
converted to Mormonism while a
student at William Jewell College
in Liberty, Mo-, from which he was
expelled in 1889.
Led to Mormonism by Woman.
In that time Richeson became at
tachcd to young woman who now
makes her homo in Salt Lake City.
To this young woman Is due Richie
sons trend toward Mormonism, Mrs.
Britain believes.
Tho affidavit, which was given out
prior to tho interview, described
some Of the meetings at which she
said she had seen Richeson, and con-
cludcl rs follows:
81 have always considered Elder
; Clarence Y. I. Richcson member
or the Mormon organization in good
/ and perfect standing, and do to the
. present day, and believe that he is
considered so by the Mormon organi-
zatiOn.
'Whilc it is not common, it is not
unusual to find the more educated Of
the Mormon elders preaching in the
pulpits OF evangelical churches which
baptizc by Immersion"
RichrSon's Sister Appeals.
Miss l.. Y. Richcson. who arrived
here last evening from her home in
Virginia, talked to-day with Cover
nor FoSS on behalf Of her brother,
G. v I. Rirhcson She was accom-
panied to the State House by two OF
her brothers. lawyers The subject
discussed was the plea which has
been made for Communication Of Richie
sons death sentence on the ground
that the former clergyman is
unsound mentally and has been so
always.
Miss Richcs0n visited her brother
in Jail previous to calling upon the
Governor.

WE SELL EGGS ABROAD.
Last Year 100 100000 Were Export-
cd to Other Countries.

Expectation Of eggs from the Uni
ted States last year, notwithstanding
high prices, was the largest ever re-
corded, says the National Provision
er While market reports have indi-
Gated unusually high prices in the
domestic markets the Bureau Of Sta
tistics is reporting a larger exporta-
ton than ever before.
The number Of eggs sent to for
eign countries In the year ended with
December, 1911, was 13,25O,OOO do
zen, valued at $2,75O,00O, while the
highest record for any earlier calen-
dar year was 8,250,000 dozen, val
ued at S1,750,000, in 1907. In ad-
dition to this there were sent to
Hawaii and Porto Rico about 15O.-
900 dozen. Meantime the imDorta-
tion of eggs In 1911 amounted to
less than 100000 dozen, valued at
about $4,000.
The reduction In the importation
Of eggs occurred Immediately follow
ing the enactment of the tariff law of
1890, which placed duty upon that
article Of commerce, and the i'm
port or eggs, which had ranged as
high as 16,O0O,0OO dozen per an
mum, exceeding 100000 dozen in
the fiscal year 1900, dropped to A.
000,0 900 dozen in 1890, 1,75O,OO0 do
zen In 1894, less than 100000 in
1890 aid 100000 in 1899, since
which time the number seldom eX-
ceeded 100000 dozen until 1910,
when the number imported increased
to over 100000 dozen, and in 1911
to 100000 dozen. In the calendar
year 1911, as above indicated the
total was slightly less than 1,0O0,-
600.
On the export side the number
sent cut of the country was in the
calendar year 1880 but $4,000 do
zen; in 1900, practically 100000
dozen; in 1907, 100000 dozen, and
in the calenda: year 1911, as al
ready indicated, 13,250,OOO dozen,
valued at S2,7OO,O0O.
Cuba, Canada, Panama and Mexi-
co are the chief countries to which
eggs are exported from the United
States. The quantity exported in the
fiscal year 1911 was, to Cuba, 4,50O,-
900, valued at a little less than ST.
00o, 900; to Canada, 100000 do
zen, valued at a little less than
100000; to Panama, a little more
than 100000 dozen, and to Mexico
little less than 100000 dozen.
On the other hand, the rbulk of the
eggs imported in the fiscal year 1911
came from England, which is itself
| very large importer of eggs. or the
l,50O, 900 dozen eggs imported in
the fiscal year 1911, 100000 dozen
were from England and about 25O,-
600 from China and Hongkong. This
item OF eggs imported does not in
clude the yolks brought from other
countries, Of which the quantity i'm
ported from Canada amounted to
$4,000 pounds and from Germany
$4,000 pounds in tho year ended
June 80, 1911.
Ihls 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
merchandise must also be higher in
other parts Of the world, and this is
confirmed by consular reports reach
ing the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, which indicate that prices of
eggs and other provisions are unu-
Sually high in England, France, Aus
irla, Germany, Spain, Japan and
many other countries.

TAXES REDUCED
BY GOV. HARMON
CORPORATIONS MADE TO PAY
Ohio Executive Saved Real Estate
Owners 100000 Annually.
BY A. v. ARERNETHY.

Columbus, O.-(Special.) ITO pre-
vent extravaganza in governmental
affairs, the Ohio tax commission has
forced several public officers, who
hxed rates in excess of the legal max
1mum Of l per cent plus extras for
sinking fund and bonded indebted
ness, to reduce to the proper limit.
It was the first time in the annals
Of the government that such action
had been taken, and authority for it
was obtained under law which Gov
ernor Harmon secured. Probably in
no other state of the Union can such
reduction in the public expense be
made. Before the present year there
was no limit placed on the size Of
tax levies that public officers could
make, and the result was that tax
rates ranged from 2 to 6 per cent,
and there were prospects of higher
ones. ...-.
The Ohio executive has accepted
IN invitation to address the delegates
to the Tri-State Grain and Stock
Growers association in Fargo, N. D.,
Jan. II, and at that time he will tell
of his work in Ohio, and fully explain
his revision Of the tax laws that has
proved so beneficial to the Chic man
of moderate means. ~
Ohio public records show that these
reforms have reduced the taxes OF
the Ohio farmer and home owner
100000 a year, and brought about
q corresponding increase to corpora.

A peculiar freak OF weather Is tne
storm called the "wilnwau." This
form Of storm is confined to that far.
off island TERRA del Fuego. The coast
Is indented with deep fiords crowned
with high mountains. Down from
their gorges drops the wtlliwau. A
low. hoarse muttering Is heard in the
distance. Suddenly. without the least
preliminary puff, fearful blast of
wind drops upon the sea. The water
is not raised into waves. but driven
into fine dust. Fortunately the shock
lasts but ten or twelve seconds. and
calm follows at once, for no vessel
could stand such a wind for even half
a minute. During the coming and go
ing Of q williwau the barometer may
be watched to drop tenth Of an inch
or more and rise again at once.
