FIGHT OVER APPROPRIATION
Frisco Wants 100000 for Panama
Exposition.

Washington, Feb. 6.-"Another ex-
position battle" almost as bitter as
when San Francisco and New Orleans
struggled for location of the Panama
Pacific exposition, is staged in the
house. Proposed appropriation of
$2,000,000 for an exhibit by Uncle
Sam at the California exposition in
1915 and 100000 for another exposi-
ton at Knoxville. Tenn, were the
two points of controversy. The San
Francisco measure was introduced by
Representative Rodenberg of Illinois
and the Tennessee resolution by Rep
resentative Austin of Tennessee.
While little opposition appeared TO
the proposed $2,000,O00 appropriation,
limited solely to a federal building
and exhibit. the appointment of a fed
eral commission of seven members
with snug salaries was the point at
issue. Representative Kent of Cali
fornia is openly denouncing the COM
mission as a graft.

committee in connection with the re
quest contained in a resolution adopt.
ed by that body calling for an inves.
tigation of the governors removal OF
Insurance Commissioner H. l.. Ekern.

its power to interfere with the ex.

The senate began its inquiry with
Lewis A. Anderson as a witness.
AT the regular senate session Gov.
ernor McGovern sent in his communi.

question his discretion in issuing the
removal order against Ekern. He
quoted decisions and declared that he
would refuse to take part in the pro-

No review of executive action in re.
moving Ekern can properly be had by
that body, he contended, and the only
lawful procedure was through the
courts, hence he deemed 1t improper
for him to participate.

Detective Finds Strange Hermit

Pittsburg. Pain the woods near Hills
vile. Pa. while searching for murderer
several days ago, F. P. Dimaio private
detective of Pttsburg, came upon q
strange Old patriarch who for 20 years has
lived In q little cleft In the rocks. apart
from all men.
THE case of this old man is one OF
the most curious that has ever come to
turn to the city.
The man. Dimao thinks, is at least
rs years old and has snow-white beard
that reac, es to his waist Though no
speaks English perfectly he is evidently
a native OF northern Italy. Dimaio is OF
Italian stock himself, and he discovered
that the old man spoke the northern Italy
dialect like a native. He proved to be
well informed on all matters that occurred
previous to 20 years ago Only when tho
conversation turned TO his personal life
did the man hesitate, says the New York
Telegram.
What did you say your name was?'
asked Dimaio after a time.
'.oohoo. oohoo. oohoo,' said the oil
man and there was just the faintest
lNlnkle IN MS eyes.
Dimaio was amazed by this queer sound,
but he turned the conversation to other
things He noticed that the old mans
cave In the rocks was scarcely larger
than a piano box and all that it contained
was a little straw. The old man him
self wore a ragged shirt and a pair OF
old overals No shoes or hat were ia
sight.
Later in the village of Hillsvlle Dimaio
was told that the old man lived almose'
wholly on canned goods and beer. Oc-
assembly he would do a little work III
some quarries near by and then he would
buy a stock of provisions and retire to
his cave, Usually his meal consisted of "a
can of tomatoes, warmed in the can over
wood fire. The country folk knew the
old man as "Oohoo." for that was tho
only answer he ever gave when asked his
rame.
Dimaio had spent the week in this
county searching for man who had muir
dered a farmer named Lang. He knew
nothing of this strange old man unit no
suddenly came upon him in the woods.
Dimaio was so interested in "Oohoo" that
he remained several hours discussing
books Dimaio found that the old fellow
was familiar with all the classics of lit
erature and that he knew much of tho
sciences.
Why he lived such life he refused
TO tell and even after the two had be-
come quite friendly he refused to tell
his name or anything about himself. His
only answer was "Oohoo. Oohoo. Oohoo,"
and every time he said this there was a
knowing twinkle in his eyes.
