NEW york LETTER
RV Norman.

BY Norman.
New York, July 15.-The case of
Eric Mikenen surely does prove that
love-making has a language all its
own.
Eric was arrested on complaint of
two nursemaids with whom he had
become acquainted in Central, Park.
He had become sufficiently well &C
quainted with each to acquire from
her a ring as a token of affection.
The rings, it was asserted, he subse-
quently refused to return.
When Eric was arTaigned in gen.
eral sessions nobody could under
stand his talk. The girls didn't pro-
fess to. He was sent to Bellevue
Hospital for observation. The doc
tors reported that he was undoubt-
eddy sane, but they couldn't make out
a word he said.
One interpreter finally said Mix
enen's speech reminded him of Fin
nish. The East Side was raked for
a man who knew Finnish dialects
and the editor of Finnish paper was
brought into court. He could under
stand Mikenen and said the latter
spoke a dialect peculiar to a small
island off the Finnish coast.
Mikenen told the editor he thought
the girls gave him the rings. The
editor is now hunting for Finn law
yer for Mikenen, who can talk his
peculiar dialect.

gistrate's last day in Jefferson mar

SESSION
MAY Be NECESSARY
Admission Lawyers See No
Alternative in Order to
Elect Senator

Admission, July 21.-(Special. 1.-The propo-
sition TO hold a special session of the
legislature to investigate the convict de-
partment, to reform the state tax laws
and to abolish the fee system having been
abandoned, it now begins to look like a
special session will be necessary in order
to elect a United States senator from Ala
bama. Admission lawyers, answering the
question off hand, seem to see no alter
native.
The problem arises through the adoption
OF the constitutional amendment providing
for direct election of United States SEN
ators. The Alabama legislature, which
has not been in session since the law was
submitted to the states, has not ratified
the amendment, and will not be in session
until the law becomes effective In this
state, previous to the general election in
1914.
Elbert D. Willett, campaign manager in
this county for Capt. Richmond P. Hob
son, says that he presumes that Senator
Johnston and Captain Hobson know what
they are about, but that he does not see
how a senator can be elected without the
legislature meets to authorize the placing
of the name of a senator and the office
on the ballot, the action taken a few days
ago by Georgia to provide for the election
of Senator Bacon.
Judge Thomas w. Coleman of the An
niston city court was of the same opinion
although he admitted that the question
was new to him,

ny G. E. STEWART

Washington, July 21.-(Special. )-Nothing
can more clearly illustrate that the time
is coming when the United States must
adopt some plan for the creation of a
merchant marine in order that it may
reach the markets of the world with its
goods than the recent reports of the de-
partment of commerce which graphically
illustrates the rapidity of the changes in
the character of American exports during
the decade from 1903 to 1913.
With the constantly and wonderfully in
creasing population of this country. and
with the corresponding decrease in the
proportion of those of our population who
are engaged in agricultural pursuits, the
more of cur farm products are we con-
Stunning at home and the less we have for
export. 1t has not been many years since
the chief articles of exports from this
country were foodstuffs. The whole world
was looking toward the great new coun-
Try with it's fertile fields of grain and its
herds of cattle. The great west with
Its millions of acres of rich soil was the
storehouse from which all Europe could
draw, and in return send us their manu-
factures and luxuries. But as the coun-
try has grown up, and we are getting
more months to feed at home, the less we
have for the hungry millions beyond the
sea.
The total exports of 1913 according to
the latest figures of the bureau of for
elgn and domestic commerce, are approx
imately s2.45o,Ooo,oOO against 81, ,ss2, ,Ov0, 600
in 1903, having thus nearly doubled in the
decade; but the details show that the
growth in manufactured articles has been

that had the new ambassador to the court
of st. James, Walter II. Page, not known
that he could rely upon the continuance
of his salary as a member of the firm OF
Doubleday, Page & Co. he would have
been obliged to decline. the office of am
bassador. No one of the Presidents, even
after the salary of the presidential office
was increased to $4,000 a year, was able
to save much. Grover Cleveland gladly
accepted from magazine publishers after
his retirement from his second term, say
ing that it was necessary for him to earn
an income, since he had saved very little
while President. His magazine work
brought him in all about $4,000. President
Benjamin Harrison had saved so little that
he was very glad to accept a retainer from
Venezuela of 100000 to appear for that re-
public before the Venezuela boundary ar
bftration board. President Roosevelts s
friends say that he saved little or nothing
from his salary, and that presumably was
the case with President Taft.

New York, .July -(Special)-Col
William j. Bryan's explanation, frank
and sincere as 1t undoubtedly is. of the
remunerative offers for lectures In the
chautauqua service for SIX weeks, has
brought to the minds of some In this city
the sad experience of others who held
high public positions in Washington with
respect to the insufficiency of income 1t

Bryan's public explanation that possibly
the incident may turn the attention OF
Congress to the insufficiency of some of
the salaries paid high public officers, es-
pecially those who find it necessary to par
ticipate In social entertainment
Probably the greatest sacrifice of a
pecuniary nature made in recent years
by one who accepted a cabinet office was
that of Elihu Root. Mr.. Root was offered
an annual retainer by the late William C,
Whitney of 100000. The obligations which
the acceptance of this retainer would have
incurred were the giving of counsel by
Mr.. Root to the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way company of New York. Mr.. Whitney
SpeclHSQ III lut OtlSf WHICH lie iudue lHdI
if Mr.. Root were called upon to go into
court he should receive in addition to his
retainer the customary fees he charged
for court attendance. Those who know
say that Mr.. Roots customary charge for
attendance at court was $4,000 for each ap-
pearance.
He declined what was probably the
most munificent offer ever made to an
American lawyer, and accepted cabinet
post, at time, too. when the salary of
teh office was only $4,000.
Daniel Manning estimated that it cost
him as much again as his salary as Sec
retary of the Treasury to serve in that Of
flee. He was obliged to give up remuner-
ative associations in order to become
Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury.
Charles Emory Smith resigned the office
of Postmaster General under Roosevelt
because he found that were he to con-
tinue in it for year or two longer large
slice would have been cut off from his
savings.
1t cost William NJ. Evarts about $4,000 to
serve as Attorney General in the cabinet
of President Andrew Johnson for he re-
linquished that much of his legal prac-
tice, and had it not been for his partici-
patton in the earnings of a law firm of
which he was the head, his four years
service as Secretary of State under Pres
ident Hayes would have cut ehaviy into
his private fortune.
