Fifth Utility Member Delayed

Jefferson City, NO., April 2l.-
Gov. Major intimated today that he
likely will not name the fifth member
of the State Utility Commission until
early in May.
He has accepted an invitation to de-
liver an address in St. Louis at the
Jefferson Memorial exercises, April
80, and also to spend one day with
the Peace Congress in session in St.
Louis during the same week.
The Governor undoubtedly is trying
to find some man thoroughly familiar
with the great traffic problems of the
day for this important post and there
are reasons for believing that he is
meeting with some difficulties.
Men who possess the knowledge to
understand these questions always
are employed by the large transporta-
ton companies at salaries far in ad-
vance of what the State can pay for
their services on the Utility Commits
sion, which is $500 year.

Capitalist was Shanghaied

Fort Stockton, Tex, April 2l.-
Given up as murdered and buried in
a hidden grave, Judge N. j. Tan
quarry, former Denver capitalist,
reached here yesterday from Peru, to
which country he was shanghaied.
Judge Tanquary tells most re-
markable experience. March A, his
auto, bloody coat and hat, were found
near Alpine, Tex. Days of search for
his body were futile.
Tanquary says he was stopped near
Alpine by stranger; that he got out
of the automobile to investigate and
that he knew nothing more until he
woke up on board Mexican ship
bound for Peru. He had no money
and the crew could not, or would not
explain how he got aboard.
Arriving at Peru he met some
Americans, who helped him get back
to the United States. He had $500
with him when assaulted.

Electricity Produces the Copper
for Our Pennies

The copper cent is product oi
electricity.
Almost pure copper is used to make
our only copper coin. This pure cop
per is secured by an electric process.
In the old days it was a very expens-
i've process to refine copper ore and
the resultant copper was far from be-
ing pure. Now this refining is done
by electricity, much the same way as
electroplating is accomplished. The
copper ore is placed in a tank near
the positive plate of battery and the
electric current turned on. The cop
per is rapidly broken up into minute
particles, called atoms, which are car
ried through the water by the passage
of electricity and deposited on the
negative plate of the tank. The re-
suit is known as 'electrolytic copper"
which is the purest known in the
metal industry.

Sixty Ways to Eat Mutton.

Washington, D. G. April 2l.-
Practically every known way Of pre-
pairing mutton for the table is sci
forth in the latest addition to the
series Of widely circulated cook books
published by the Department Of Ag-
riculture.
/ Should it prove as popular as some
of its predecessors, its circulation
will amount to a million or more
copies, as did the now famous meat
cook book and the cheese cook book.
Recipes for mutton, boiled, steamed
brazed, stewed, roasted, broiled and
fried, and even mutton warmed over
are set forth in detail to the number
of sixty, and the making of sauce,
.relished, gravies and stuffing for
various mutton dishes is described
in manner which the newest bride
could easily follow. All receipts
have been tested and standardized.
Mutton and it's value in the diet, "
or Farmers bulletin $685." as the
newest Government book is called
was written C. F. Langworthy, Phi.
D., chief Of nutrition investigation,
and Caroline l.. Hunt, A. B., expert
in nutrition, at the suggestion oi
former Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, who frequently ad-
vocated that the American people cal
more mutton instead of so much
other meat.
He declared it was cheaper and
equally nutritious. .-..-

DEBATE ON TARIFF MEAS
URE BEGINS IN HOUSE
THIS MORNING.
Senate Committee Decides to Allow
No Public Hearings---Will Accept
Briefs.

Washington, D. c., April 22.-By
strict party vote the Senate Finance
Committee today finally decided that
no public hearings will be given on
the tariff bill when it reaches the
Senate.
Interested persons will have full
opportunity, however, to file briefs
or statements bearing on any of the
schedules.
The decision is expected to shorten
materially the time consumed in get
ting the bill before the Senate for
consideration.
The debate opens in the House at
II a. m. tomorrow, and in the hope
that discussion can be limited to five
days. Leader Underwood will at
tempt to hold the House to twelve
hours of continuous work daily.
Another week of consideration un-
der the rule permitting amendments,
will send the bill to the Senate soon
after May S, it is believed.
Bill Returned to House.
The tariff bill came back to the
House from the Ways and Means
Committee with vigorous support
ing report from the Democrats and
an opposing report from the Repub-
licans.
The debate will be followed by
concerted efforts of House Republi-
cans to amend the bill in all impor-
tant schedules. .
Although Senate Finance Commit
tee has decided that further hearings
are unnecessary, the Democratic
members will confer tomorrow with
Democratic Senators from Pacific
Coast and Rocky Mountain States
who are opposed to the free sugar
and free wool provisions.
Some Western Senators, including
Senators Meyers of Montana and
Ashurst Of Arizona, will not partici-
pate in the conference, as they have
decided to support free wool and
sugar if they are approved by the
House.
The conference will demonstrate
the strength against these features.
Those who will participate insist,
however, that there has been no ef-
fort to form an offensive alliance, as
proof of which they point to the fact
that Louisiana Senator'S and others
interested in change of free sugar
and free wool provisions have not
been included in the conference.

No Motor Car for Mr.. Major.

Jefferson City, April 22.-Gover-
nor Major does not expect to ride in

will stick to the reliable old carriage,
in conformity with other governors.
He stated today that he will veto the
item of 1000 contained in the Cen
eral Contingent Appropriation Bill,
setting apart this sum for the use of
the governor and his family.
Zone cannot rest being iolted up

The governor will approve the two
remaining acts of the legislature left
on his hands tomorrow. One is the
General Contingent Appropriation
Bill, and carries about s., 500, 600 Of
direct appropriations from the reve-
|.nues. The governor will cut out
about 500, 900. The other measure
appropriates $500 for pensioning
INDECENT exc Confederates. Those el-
ligible will receive $l6 a month.
