WOULD PROBE HIGH COSTA.t
-
OF LIVING IN WASHINGTON
Joint Resolution Providing So, zoo
for Investigation Introduced
by Senator Kenyon.

\ joint resolution providing for an in
vestigation into the cost of living in the
District of Columbia, to be made by the
Department of Labor, has been intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Kenyon
of Iowa. The resolution was referred to
the committee on contingent expenses OF
the Senate, as it carries an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to pay for the proposed in
yestigation. Senator Kenyon will make
an effort however, to have the resolu-
ton sent first to the committee on edu-
cation and labor
Champion of Wage Farmers.
Senator Kenyon has been much inter-
ested in various movements to reduce the
cost of living and to better the condi-
tons of the wage earners He believes
that an investigation should be made of
the wages which are paid by employers
In Washington. During the hearings
'ast year on the eight-hour bin for
women employed in the District, he says,
it was brought out that many persons
are not paid living wage. This is one
of the features of the situation which he
hopes to have looked into

Fighting Near Tampico Reported.

Constitutionalist dispatches received here
today told Of renewed attacks on the
cities OF Tampico and Torreon in Mexico.
1t was made plain that the attack on
Tampico is being made with great care
in order to avoid destroying foreign prop
erty. but the consttutionalists professed
confidence of being more successful in
this onslaught than they were in the
one last week. A press dispatch. how
ever, says everything is quiet at Tampico.
Constitutionalists here displayed con-
Germ over the report from Toxic that
the large shipment of munitions of war
ordered some time ago by the Huerta
government from a japanese firm are
being made in the national arsenal. At
the State Department 1t was said that
the government had no information on
this subject.
The constitutionalist confidential
agency has received word from Guaymas
that additional federals from that place
have gone over to the rebels, and that
the total assertions now total more than
1000 officers and men.

Forced Loan From Spaniards.

Word reached the State Department to-
day that forced loan OF $4,000 Mexican
currency. has been advanced by the Span
iards at Acapulco to the federal military
commander at that place. The work OF
repairing the railroad from Acapulco into
the interior has been suspended. the off,
ces have been closed. and the men dis
charged Communication between Nuevo
Laredo. on the Texas border, and Mon
terey, is still cut.
Admiral Fletcher. in a dispatch receiv-
ed at the Navy Department today, said
nothing OF any new developments at
Tampico. The warships off the coast
there are under way because OF rough
weather. The German. cruiser Bremen
returned to Tampico and after taking
aboard the guard which was on the Ger

Inquiry as to Motives.

Before closing their brief counsel cite a
few cases In support Of their contention
that Justice Wright should have insti-
tuted an inquiry into the motives of Mr..
Frizsell before allowing the petition to
be filed. Mr.. Newman had put forth the
claim that certain interests were behind
the taxpayer and that these interests
were unfriendly to him and were furnish
ing the money for the court proceedings
the preliminary hearing urged Jnst;ce
Wright to inquire into these motives. but
his request was denied. The court do
clared he was only to pass on the single
question Of the right of a taxpayer 10
bring the proceeding. and being Of that
opinion he allowed the filing Of the an
piication without inQuiring into motive
The prompt fling of the briefs in the
case may allow the argument on the
matter to be taken up next month in
the appellate court. In that event a
decision might be expected the first Mon
day in February.

dangerous or habit-forming drugs. Often

leads them to imagine that it is doing them
| good, when it isn't Remedies that rely for
their sale on such deceit, do harm, because
the false excitement of the nerves and heart
leaves them worse than they were before.

look at the red, white and blue, the
official colors of Uncle Samuel, who

its means more than patriotism to
him. Today, July 4, is Mr.. Meyers
birthday and today he will celebrate
his seventy-eighth birthday anniver-
sary and despite the fact that he has
been active during all of his life and
especially in recent years, he enjoys
fine health and is "up to the notch"
when it comes to dealing out justice
in his court room. Mr.. Meyer is one
of the early landmarks of Pine Bluff
He was one of its first settlers and
built the first store on Barraque street
in this city, after coming to Pine Bluff
in 1856. At one time he owned the
Rob Roy plantation now controlled by
John M. Oracle. He was member of
Pine Bluffs city council for years
and has been honored in many other
ways by the people of this community.
Mr.. Meyer served in the Confederate
army during the war. He and his good
wife have been living heer for many
years and they enjoy great popular
ity. His family is composed of four
daughters and three sons. They are
