NJ MULR0Y'S BILL
1t Would Create a State Hotel
Commission.
A License of So and Upwards
per Year.

Miles H Mulroy of Ellis county to-
day introduced a bill in the house
creating a state hotel commission for
the supervision of all hotels and eat
ing houses and to take over the work
now under the direction of the state
board of health. Under the terms of
Mulroy's bill, the commission would
be self sustaining. In fact it would
probably return competency to the
state.
The Ellis county member would
provide for the rigid inspection of all
hotels, restaurants, boarding houses,
and apartment houses. This inspection
would cover every feature of the hotel
from the sanitary equipment of the
kitchen to the inspection of nine foot
sheets in the bedrooms. Each hotel
properly advertised and no rooming
house shall carry a ten foot sign ad-
vertising the fact that it is a hotel
An annual license of 81 will be
charged each hotel, restaurant, apart
ment or rooming house coming under
the supervision of the commission.
Hotels with twenty bedrooms shall pay
an annual license of So and an addi-
tiona1 license of 81 covering each ad-
ditional ten bedrooms. Orders of the
commission as to sanitation and pub
lie safety shall be final and binding
and failure to comply with orders,
shall subject the owner to a fine of
So day for each day he is derelict
in obeying orders, while refusal to
obey any order is sufficient for the
commission to close the house.
The commissioner shall receive an
annual salary of $4,000 while his two
assistants shall be paid for actual time
spent in the work. These three men
shall compose the hotel commission.
1t is claimed that the board of health
has agreed to concede their hotel
supervision to this commission in
event one is created by the present
legislature.

JANE adams IS
NOT A CANDIDATE
Says 1t Would be UnwiSe For
Women to Rush Into Office
as Soon as They Were Given
the Right to Vote.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Miss Jane
Adams. who has arrived from Eu-
rope. where she attended the Interna-
tional Woman Suffrage convention in
Budapest, declared she did not wish to
be a candidate for mayor of Chicago
in the coming election. But she quail
fed her refusal 10 answer the call that
has been started by her friends since
women were given the vote in Illinois.
AS the Olympic came up the river
Miss Adams explained why she be-
lieved II would be unwise for her 10
accept a nomination even if it is thrust
on her.
THE fact that some of my friends
have mentioned me as a likely candi-
date for mayor of Chicago" said Miss
Adams, is a great surprise to me and
1t is hardly fair to expect me to an
swer at this time a fiat question as 10
whether l would accept nomination.
Unwise to be Candidate.
1T is against our principles to rush
in for officeholding the moment We
have received the vote. 1t would be
very unwise for the women of Illinois
TO accept or seek public office until
they have had few years experience
as voters. At this time / think l
should refuse to be a candidate for
any public Office.
1T is a hypothetical question, but
1 repeat that even if, as the question
suggests, L should be called and
nominated against my wishes l should
refuse any nomination"
surprised at Action.
Miss Adams expressed herself as
having been slightly surprised that
Illinois had given women the vote and
right to hold Office. She declared it
was d great victory for the cause and
said the chief influence lay in the fact
that a state as large as Illinois east OF
the Mississippi had decided in favor of
equal suffrage. She had believed, she
said, that Wisconsin would give wo-
men the vote before Illinois, Asked
if the women of her state would vote
as women voters or would align them
selves with the various political
parties Miss Adams said:
We will not, as women voters re-
main segregated and vote merely as a
woman's party except on some moral
or sociological questions that only the
influence of women's votes will settle
correctly"

tremely monotonous, both TO those
who make them and those who wear
them, although the style is one that is
quite universally becoming. The
chances are that in the fall when the
designers return from their summer
holidays. they Will try to find some
bodice fashion more flexible in trim
ming and newer in line which will at
the same time accord very well with
the drapery of the skirt and such a
combination seems TO be at hand in a
variation of the pointed and bOned
bodice with the necessarily smaller
waist and a suspicion OF hips. This
is merely guess work, though: only
the fall opening will reveal the pre-
vailing modes for the next year.
In the meantime the sash and girdle
hold full sway and cOlors are as
riOtOus as ever. Sleeves are not al
ways long, as they were in the cooler
days of spring, though many of the
smart gowns are all finished with
sleeves to the wrists with elongated
shoulder or tremendous armholes
which give the same effect. Another
style, too. that has increased in use
during even the last few weeks, is the
gown with the Russian blouse with
plated tails.

drapcry as used in winter things will
suffer by a mOmentary and necessary

There is one great criticism of the
present styles. and that is that all the
gowns are made exactly alike as far

SMALL HERDS OF DEER DO CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE
 TO CONNECTICUT GARDENS

New London, May 27.-Farmers have been complaining considerably lately about the amount of damage that is being done their crops by the deer all through this locality.
 The animals were never more plen- tifu1 than they are this spring and the damage to growing crops is corre- spondingly large. Flower gardens as well as vegetable gardens are suffer ing, for the deer is apparently as fond of dahIias as he is of onions. At Farm holne, the summer place of Miss Mary SharsVVood, several dollars worth of valuable dah1fa bulbs have been de- stroyed and the deer have also eaten from tulip beds, etc.
 At Mrs. WoIcott Mains, in WeQuete- quock, a herd of five deer played havoc with her flower garden, spoil ing all the sweet peas, dah1ials and other flowers. Last Saturday night the trolley killed a deer near the bridge at Wequetequock and the Fish and Game Commissioners gave the crew of the car permission to use the animal.
 As result Motorman Clyde Batty and several of his friends are enjoying venison this week. The farmers are, however, taking the matter seriously as their loss so far this season has been considerabIe and will of course be a great deal heavier as the season advances unless drastic measures are taken.

NEW CONSULAR
 SERVICE POLICY
 TO BE ANNOUNCED

Washington, May 27-secretary Bryan expects soon to announce the policy of the new administration in consular service appointments and promotions The failure of the Senate. last session, to act upon large list of promotions has resulted in much embarrassment and, since that time, this has become greater through many additional vacancies caused by deaths, resignatfo1as and otherwise.
 One young consul, nominated for promotion in recognition of extra haz- ardous service. has been obliged to re- main at his old post though suffering from tropical fever. At other posts the consular business is in the hands of vice. consuls and junior officers not ordinarily permitted in charge for any length of time.
 Secretary Bryan has been unable to discuss the question of consular service policy with President Wilson except in a preliminary manner He expects soon,, however, to be able to make an announcement on the sub- ject.

Tine supremaey of Verse.

Gray's "Elegy'' was not much es- teemed by it's author, who in one of his letters said that ''the public would have received it as well mad it been written in prose- The poet was poor critic, for the third line of the first stanza achieves the supremacy of verse. There can scarcely be another to equal it in English literature, ''The plowman homeward plods his weary way.'' Now, that line is such su- prcme verse that you may recite 1t this way and that and it is still as good as ever:
 The weary plowman homeward plods his Eorneward the weary pIowma1, plods his weary, the plowman homeward plods his The piowman, weary. plods his homeward Homeward the plovnlan p1ods his weary The plowman p1ods his weary homeward And so on. But if it is not poetry it is the supremacy of verse.-London Chronicle.

Inc Split Lea Drag.

The split log is due to the ingenuity of a Missouri farmer, who, to improve the condition of the highway between his farm and the neighboring village. devised a rude contrivance to smooth the rough places and round up the surface from the ditch to the center so as to drain off the water. This device was most simple since it consisted of a log split into two equal parts, with a few braces between them and a chain by which the horses hauled the drag. It was tried after rain when the road was soft, and it worked so we'll that it's fame soon travelled far and wide. This was the beginning of
