Although it was Columbus who

" discovered BY the Cabots, John and
his son Sebastian. And It is inter
esting to note that, while all three Of
these men were Italians, their great
discoveries were made under the flags
of foreign countries. Columbus, who
never knew that he had found new
land, but believed always that he had
reached Asia, served the king Of
Spain. The Cabots were in the en-

output OF the United States would
take 342, 1857 Of these liners, with q
combined length that would reach
more than twice around the globe.
The figures Of the census Of 1910 on
the electrical Industry are astounding,
andsyet these statistics are admittedly
incomplete. s..s.
'''The growth Of electrical industries
has been so rapid" recently declared
DR.. Schuyler skaats Wheeler, that

manufactures. No matter to what ex-
tent the steam railroads electrify,
they are still classified under steam
railroads. The thousands of poles used
to string wires are classified under
the lumber industry. The great cop
per companies, producing practically
exclusively for electrical Industries,
are classified under the copper indus
tries" s5
DR.. Wheeler estimates that the to-
tai business in electrical machinery in
the United States was in the neigh
borhood Of $500, 1000, 0n0 for 1912. This
estimate seems cons eryative when we
realize that the last census reported
the total business for$1909 at s243, 00O,-

one realize how rapidly and COM

Insurgent Western Demo-
Gratis Are Up In Arms
Against the Agriculture
Schedule and Will Scrap.
FLOUR IS ON FREE
LIST; WHEAT TAXED
Rep. Curtis Says This Is Alb
surd If Democrats Are To
Reduce the Cost of Liv-
ing.
(NationaI News Association


WASHINGTON, April 15.- The
Democratic caucus today voted
down a resolution introduced by Rep
resentative Fowler to increase the
rate on grain from 10 cents bushel
to Is cents a bushel and also a res
olution by Representative Levy to
place wheat on the free list.
Wheat is carried in the Underwood
bill at a duty of 10 cents despite the
fact that -four has been placed on the
free list.
Representative Curtis, of Mass
achusetts, one of the men who fought
for free cattle, declared today that it
would be foolish to remove the tax
from -four and still retain it on wheat
if the Democratic party proposes to
make a genuine effort to reduce the
. cost of living.
1t is doubtful if the agriculture
schedule can be completed before to,
morrow.
The combine of western Democratic
congressman of about fifty members
has decided to abandon their plan to
make a concerted fight on the Under
wood bill in caucus but will carry the
fight to the floor of congress and en-
list Republican support.

HEARST ON WAR PATH.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-William
Randolph Hearst, the newspaper and
magazine publisher, who supported
Wilson in the last campaign, in a let
ter to the Washington Post, declares
against the Underwood tariff bill. He
says in part:
I'm the advocacy of intelligent reci-
procity, rather than reckless and ruth
less tariff reduction and commercial
destruction, l have no selfish motive.
~ have cattle ranches in Mexico and
it is proposed under Mr. Wilson's poll
cy to bring free beef into the United
States.
Would Help Him.
"It would advantage me considera-
bly,, from a merely sordid point of
view. to have Mexican beef allowed
free into the United States market.
But as patriotic American citizen
and Jeffersonian Democrat l do not
believe that Mexican beef or any 9th
er Mexican product should be allowed
free into the markets of the United
States until American goods are al
lowed free into the markets of Mexi-
co.
Under Mr. Wilson's program it is
proposed to allow white paper free
into the markets of the United States
from Canada.
81 use over $4,000, 900 worth of white
paper every year, and, from a merely
selfish financial point of view 1t would
benefit me enormously to have white
paper admitted free into the markets
of the United States.
But, again as a patriotic American
citizen and a Jeffersonian Democrat,
] do not believe that white paper or
any other Canadian product should be
admitted free into the United States
until the products of the United States
or at least corresponding products of
the United States are admitted free
into the markets of Canada
THE Canadians scornfully rejected
our proposals 81 reciprocity.
Are we in return to give them the
full advantage of reciprocity without
securing any reciprocal advantages for
ourselves?

Il shall hope to see the Democratic

Il shall support it gracefully when it
is right, but criticise it regretfully
when 1t is wrong, and l shall continue
to implore 1t not to be led by a Fed

However, Chemist Cravens
Advises Boiling of Drink

CHEMICAL TREATMENT

Assistant State Chemist J. A. Cra-
few remarks before the Commercial
club relative to the condition of'the To-
cal water supply said there was some
pollution in the water examined
though there was apparently no dan
ger of typhoid fever existing here as
a result.

ries became contaminated as result
of the river water flowing into the gal
leries during the recent high water.
he said.
Mr.. Cravens said the newspapers
have exaggerated the reports and
started a scare. mo typhoid fever
germs have been found" he said
though the water is known to contain
colon bacilli an outcast from the hui
man bowel as we'll as from horse or
! cow. The water should be boiled as a
precautionary measure until further
notice." he said.
DIR. T. H. Davis, city health officer
and resident of the state board of
health does not believe the reports in
the papers have been exaggerated. Co.
Ion bacilli, he said, had been found in
the water, therefore indicating that
| the avenue for disease germs is open.
The proposition of treating the wa
ter supply was taken up by Mr.. Cra-
vens today. The water will be treated
chemically with hypochlorite of lime,
until it is safe to drink. The chemicals
introduced into the water will destroy
all chaace of any harmful results
which 1Nght otherwise follow. The
water in the Gormon and Hill CALLER
les will be treated. The Conner springs
and the other source of the water is in
good condition according to the report
Of the state authorities.
The water mains will be flushed, &C.
cording to Supt. Dill of the water
works company. All pollution will then
be discharged from the pipes. From
this city Cravens will go to Logans-
port where an investigation of the wa
ter supply of that city is being made.

voters of Hudson county for adoption
or rejection in a special election to-
day.
Among the cities voting on the meas
ure are Jersey City, Hoboken, Bay
onne and Union Hill. Jersey City has
a population of 267,000 and if it adopts

pertinent so ardently advocated by
Woodrow Wilson when he was Govern
or of New Jersey.
All these cities have already voted
negatively on this issue once before.
Conditions today, however, were held
to be more favorable toward the adop-
tion of the measure than when local
elections were held two years ago.
The Commission plan has already
been adopted in Trenton, Passaic, At
lantic City, Long Branch Nutley,

TO DEVOTE ENTIRE
WEEK FOR CLEANING
Richmond To Be Made a
"Spotless Town" on First
of May.
TALK ON INSURANCE
Chairman of This Committee
Says Rates Here Can Be
Lowered.
TALK ON INSURANCE

Chairman John Mccarthy of the
Cleaning Up Week" committee of the
Commercial Club reported last night
that the committee had worked out a
system whereby the entire city would
be cleaned and the time for complet.
ing the work was to extend over a
week rather than day as has been
customary.
The work will start May 1 at which
time the street commissioner will de.
vote his energies to cleaning up sec
tion of the city. All the residents in
the portion of the city being cleaned
will be asked to cooperate with the
authorities and clean their yards and
houses. A section of the city will be
cleaned each day for the entire week
and at the end of the week it is ex.
pected that Richmond will be the
"Spotless Town"
Some members of the club believed
the work of cleaning the city should
not be delayed until May 1 as the pro
per time to do the work is this month
Sharon E. Jones, chairman of the
Insurance committee of the club has
been working = with the committee
which has charge of cleaning up the
city. Mr.. Jones reported that several
Main street merchants were compelled
to pay high rate of insurance be
cause of negligence on the part of 9th
er merchants in the vicinity of their
stores. There are too many paper box
es and large quantities of excelsior in
the cellars, Mr.. Jones said. An effort is
being made by this committee to Sc
cure lower fire insurance rates in this
city.
Lecture On Canal.
An illustrated lecture was given be
fore the club by Paul Comstock on the
Panama canal. Mr.. Comstock recently
returned from the Isthmus where he
made a thorough investigation of the
progress and construction of the Pan
anna canal which will be filled with wa
ter next October.
The pictures, from which the slides
illustrating the lecture were made
were taken by Mr.. Comstock. They
were exceedingly plain and showed
the work as it is now being done and
what work has been completed up to
date.
The work of taking the ships
through the canal was explained by
Mr.. Comstock as was the construction
of the mammoth dams and locks. Ex
penditures of the millions of dollars
for the improvement of sanitary condi
tions and the determination of mosqui
toes and flies was explained.
Morris Knowles, consulting engineer
of one of the largest reservoir and
dam corporations in Pittsburg attend
ed the meeting. He commended the
talk of Mr.. Comstock and added a few
words concerning the excellent work
of the e. s. army officers in coping
with conditions in Panama. 1t was the
inability of the French government of
ficials to cope with the sanitary con
ditions there which resulted in their
failure to build canal.
