Action-Root Reads Carnegie
Foundation Protest

Washington, Jan, G.-After n day of
debate between friends of the rival agri-
cultural extension bills in the Senate,
that body adjourned tonight without
having acted upon the proposed legis-
lation by which federal aid would be
given to vocational and agricultural work
throughout the country. Senator Page
of Vermont backing the bill which he
has had before the Senate since early in
1911, held the floor through much of
the day against Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia, sponsor for the bill which pass
ed the House under the leadership Of
Congressman Lever of South Carolina.
AS a substitute for the Smith-Lever bin
Senator Page offered revised form
of his own measure II embraced much
of the language of the Smith-Lever bin,
but introduced plans for federal and in
vocational school training not embraced
In the other measure. When tho Senate
adjourned it was with the expectation
that the fight would be resumed We'd
nesdiY.
A protest from Henry ). Pritchard of
the Carnegie foundation of New York
against the Page bii, was presented by
senator Root Mr. Pritchard declared
the measure would commit the govern
ment TO principles of local educational
work which might result in an endless
demand for federal assistance for local
schools.

MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
PROSPEROUS DURING 1912

Washington, Jan. 17.-Prosperity
never before equalled in the history
of the country marked the manufac-
turing Industries of the United States
during the calendar year of~i912, ac-
coTding to a statement issued today by
the federal bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce. The bureaus sta
tisticians based their declarations on
the importations of material used in
manufacturing and on the movement
Of domestic materials from the points
of production TO the factories.
These two methods Of measure
ments," said the report, seem to indi-
cate that the manufacturing industries
of the country made in 1912 their
highest record. In practically all ar
ticles imported for use in manufactur-
ing the quantities entering the coun-
try in 1912 were greater than ever be-
fore, the movements of iron ore on the
great lakes are reported larger than in
any earlier year and in movements Of
other domestic products towards the
factory the records also indicate ex-
traordinary activity in 1912"
Value of materials for manufactur-
ing imported reached the record figure
of more than $s25,0OO,Oo0 during the
year.

LY MATCHED PROMISES TO BE
FAST GAME.

Tonight at 1880 Brewton meets a
very fast aggregation of players from
the local Y. NJ. G. A. in a game OF
basketball. The game promises to be
especially fast as the teams are evenly
matched. Once before the two teams
which play tonight have met this sea-
son and the result was very close.
The game tonight promises to be even
closer than before.
Some scientific basketball playing
will be witnessed as the small players
who are always the fastest and most
scientific will compose the team which
the Y. M. c. A. will put out and any
one who loves good. clean sport should
attend.
The game begins promptly at 1880,
as it is understood that the local young
men have provided other activities for.
the Brewton team more acceptable
than a contest of mere basketball.
The members of the Pensacola team
are as follows: Dent Smith, forward:
Harry Smith, forward; F. Ficl1as, for
ward; Julian Olsen, center; Leo Nc
Chung, guard; Harry Vinson, guard;
Albert 1aney, guard.
