GOFF SPENT S CENTS
=
PRICE OF SEAT IN THE SENATE
HAD A TELEPHONE CALL

Senator Con OF West Virginia, whose
friends in the State Legislature quietly
transferred him from the State judiciary
to the United States Senate as a happy
solution to the late Senatorial deadlock
there, ran into expense account trouble
of an unusual kind. Whereas many
patriots who believe they can save the
country If they can get down to Wash
ington, find the national statute requir-
ing the filing OF a complete account of
campaign expenses embarra ssing because
of the amount of money they have been
compelled to spend in arousing a spon-
taneous sentiment in favor OF their can
didacy, Senator Goff was threatened with
embarrassment because he spent moth
ing.
After his unexpected election. Gofr was
instructed to file a statement of his
campaign expenses, so the story runs.
He replied that he never had been
candidate, and had not. therefore, been
called upon to spend any money. This
answer did not seem to satisfy. so the
Senator sat him down and dictated
statement in substance as follows:
My expenses for election TO the United
States Senate from West Virginia ag
gregated five cents. the cost of tele-
phone message from a friend at the State
House informing me Of my election.
My friend paid for the telephone call"

'NEAR.PROGRESSIVES,',
term BY ROOSEVELT
Colonel Uses 1t in Referring to Certain
Republicans in the
House.
WRITES TO MR.. HINEBAUGH

Progressive Republicans who intend to
act independently of the Bull Moose herd
in Congress are characterized as near
Progressives'' by Col Roosevelt. The
term is used by the colonel in a letter
received from him by Representative
william II. Hinebaugh OF Illinois, who
is arranging the details for the round
UP OF the Bull Moose members to be
held on April 4.
Col Roosevelt endorses the plan OF the
Bull Moose to set up an organization OF
their own and TO put forward Representa-
tive Victor Murdock OF Kansas as the
party's candidate for Speaker in the new
House. The colonel wrote in reply to
a letter written by Mr.. Hinebaugh. who
reported TO Oyster Bay just what the
Bull Moose leaders were planning to do.
A part OF the coloners letter was given
out yesterday. Another fragment OF 1t
was made public today.
1t reads as follows:
My Dear Judge Hinebaugh:
Il am more than pleased with what
you have done. 1t would be an admirable
thing to run Victor Murdoch as our cam
didate for the Speakership. and 1 hope
that, as you have suggested to him. he
will announce himself as willing to ac-
cept the nomination OF the Progressives
for this position. Then l think It would
be a good thing for the Progressive party
that our men should act together. and
should consult one another freely. and IN
addition that We should keep in the
closest touch with near-Progressives
. so as to act substantially on the
same lines with the idea that they may
ultimately Join with US We
should go ahead with our own organiza-
ton as a seperate. distinct national party.
Don't you think this Is sound?''

PRESIDENT UNLIKELY
TO ATTEND CAUCUS
Mr.. Wilson Participated in Trenton
Meetings, but Warrington May
Be Different.

Within the past day or two the ques-
ton has been raised whether President
Wilson will attend the caucus OF the
House Democrats. to which Chairman
Underwood will submit the tarin re-
vision bill.
It was recalled that Mr.. Wilson attend
ed a caucus of the Democrats OF tho
New Jersey Legislature when he was
Governor. Gov. Wilson had not been IN
vited to the party session. However. ne
decided that he wanted TO attend. the
better TO impress upon his Legislative
colleagues his ideas as to certain
piece OF legislation then pending.
Gov. Wilson invoked the good omces
OF his secretary. Joseph p. Tumulty. Mr..
Tumulty suggested that the Governor
be invited to attend the caucus. The in
vitation was forwarded to the Governors 8
mansion at once.
The Presidents closest advisers say
that he has no present intention Of re-
peating this performance. The President
is said to believe that he can exert suffi-
cient influence by. conference at the
White House with his Legislative col
leagues in Washington to cause them
to pass a tariff bill which will measure
up to Mr.. Wilson's ideas OF the party
pledges

SENATOR JAMES BETTER.
Reports OF His Serious Illness Were
Exaggerated.

Reports Of the precarious condition Of
Senator Ollie James OF Kentucky, who
has been confined to his bed for the past
week suffering from stomach trouble.
seem to have been exaggerated. An inti-
mate friend of Senator James stated last
night that the report that all visitors
were denied admittance to the Kentuck-
ian's room because of his serious con6-.
ton was unfounded.
He stated that Senator James was very
nervous. and that his physician did not
think audiences with the large number OF
Office seekers who sought TO see Senator
James would do him any good. Unless
some unforeseen complications set in,
Senator James will be able to sit up
within a day or two.
Representative James A. Hughes of
West Virginia and Timothy T. Ansberry,
of Ohio. who have been confined to their
residences during the past week. were
reported to be steadily improving.

BLUE GRASS RECOGNIZED.
Kentucky Product Declared by ON.
cIaI to Be Superior for Lawns.

That the famous blue grass" of Ken
lucky, on which hundreds OF world
beating horses have pastured. is recog-
nized as the most superior lawn grass
for use not only here, but throughout
the country. was the declaration made
last night by F. l. Mulford, landscape
gardener OF the Department of Agri-
culture. Mr.. Mulford lectured on De
veloping and Caring for the Lawn" be-
fore the y. VI. c. A.
This grass, however" Mr.. Mulford
cautioned" takes two years to grow,
and for that reason 1t is better mixed,
in the proportion of half and half. with
red grass, so-called, which as a matter
of fact differs little from its more dis
tinguished kind.
In planting a lawn for the first time
il is advisable to sow a nurse crop'-that
is. a crop which will protect the young
grass during the first few months Of its
growth. The best nurse crop Is white
clover"
