MAY CLOSE ALL COTTON EXCHANGES Stamp Tax of One Tenth of
 Cent A Pound Goes Tn to Tariff Bill.
 INCOME TAX ISSUE Mutual Insurance Company Benefits Are EXempted-Gradua ed Tax.
INCOME TAX ISSUE

Washington, July 1.-The Demo- cratic caucus of the Senate this af- ternon wrote into the Wilson-Under- wood Tariff bill provisions that may put every cotton exchange i'll the county out of business. The stamp tax of one tenth of a cent a pound, or fifty cents a bale, is to be impos- ed upon every deal in cotton futures or other speculative transactions in this commodity. No tax is imposed where there is bona fide transfer
 of the product. The machinery for enforcing this new legislation inserted
 as a rider on Tariff bill is provided and drastic penalties will be visited upon those who violate it's provisions. The bill prohibiting importation cf any goods made wholly or in part by child labor or convicts also is likely to be thrown out tomorrow. This would have the effect of keeping out enormous imports of hemp baggin5
 
 child labor.
 This afternoon the caucus recon sidered it's action of last night and re- stored to the bill the clause ill the in-
 come tax section eXempting mutual life insurance companies surplus funds applied to the benefits of policy holders.
 The greater part of the afternoon
 was consumed in discussing the grad
 hated tax amendment of Senator
 Hitchcock of Nebraska. This provides
 for graduated tax on the manufac-
 lures of tobacco and is general upon
 all corporations controlling certain
 amount of the output of any commod-

VETERANS SUFFER
 FROM THE HEAT
THOUSANDS UNABLE TO GET SHELTER AND FOOD AT GET-
 TYSBURG REUNION.
More Than 5O,OOO On The Grounds Many PrOstrated During
 the Day.

Gettysburg, July 1.-The Army of the fifth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, wilted today under the 'scorching sun, which beat down on the historic battlefield. Fifteen thousand packed a huge tent in which the first memorial services were held this afternoon, and scores of the veterans were carried from the tent after they had been prostrated by the stifling heat, while hundreds of others were forced to leave before the ceremony was concluded to avoid prostration.
 The intense heat combined with the fact that 5000 more veterans are already encamped on the battlefield than the War Department had pro vided for, is causing the army and Pennsylvania health department of ficials considerable anxiety tonight l Each train that arrived late this af- l ternoon and evening brought hund- O1

Opium is got by cutting the capsule of the poppy flower with a notched

THE CHILDRENS HOME!

Dr. E. B. billiard, founder of the Arkansas Childrens' Home, Little Rock who was recently fined in an Argen- ta magistrates court for whipping Harcld Hicks, twO-year-old child, who died in Morrilton Monday, and who appealed the case to the circuit court denies that he was responsible for the death of the little boy. Not withstanding his statement, Humane Officer Rankin, of Little Rock, is in vestigating the affair. MT. Rankin i'll an interview in the Gazette on Tues day morning said:
 tI feel that Dr. billiard has im- posed on the public long enough and think he should be exposed
 1t matters not whether Dr. Dillard is guilty. as charged. The little boy is cold in death and while his little life may have been sacrificed, it will tend to prompt the authorities of this state to put a stop to the free adop- tion of homeless and neglected child ren, unless it is shown beyond ques- ton that the persons in whose care the children are left are in every way fit persons to care for them.
 Dr. billiard visited this city some weeks ago and made himself so dls agreeable around the city hall tha Mayor Bloom, who had Interested himself in the welfare of two nome less boys. threatened to throw him ou Of the building unless he got out Mayor Bloom had cared for the nttl boys for two days and was anxious U find them a home. where the sur rcundings would be to their beneli' Dr. billiard appeared there and claim ed the boys, declaring that they ha run away from the childrens' Hom at Little Rock, after being given int his custody by a court in Monro county. Mayor Bloom did not like tn manner of Dr. billiard and proceede to question him. The boys were cry ing and pleaded with the mayor nc to permit Dr. billiard to take ,hei back They claimed to have been sut jected to inliuman treatment and the feared the man. Mayor Bloom refus cd to give the boys over to Dillal' preferring to give them into the cuf tcdy Of some family that he was sur

Dr. Dillard secured the services of Attorneys Crawford and Hooker and upon their assurance that the boys would be we'll cared for and fearing legal proceedings for the city, the Mayor yielded
 But not until Attorney J. M. Shaw and Chief of Police Stewart mad told Dr. billiard what they thought of him, were the boys finally released. Just
 what became of those two bright little youngsters has never been learned
 Judge c. M. Philpot, presiding ovel the county court, has repeatedly avoided sending children to the Child rens Home at Little Rock. He has never had any too much confidence in the institution and has eXpl essed himself ill that way. But because there was no other place to send them, he has been forced to obey the law and turn children over to agents of the Little Rock institution.
 Several months ago, two children, a boy and a girl, were found to be sadly in need of clothing, food and schooling. They were being neglected by an aged father, Mr. Oaks, han- dlemaker, and his wife, on the out skirts of this city. An investigation revealed the fact that they were not being properly cared for. An agent from the Childrens' Home secured all order in the county court directing the parents to show cause why the children should not be taken from them. The parents failed to do so and Judge Philpot had no other course but to take the boy, l2 years old, and little girl, seven years old, from their parents. They were turned over to the home agent and were for c;bly taken from the court house by officers, screaming and lighting. Their parents stood by and Wept while their little ones were taken from them. They were taken to Lit tie Rock, and it is supposed, placed in the Home. A few weeks later the father of the children, died from a broken heart. Since his father 5 death the boy escaped from the home and is now said to be with his mother at her home near this city.
 The Childrens' Home may be con- ducted under the proper auspices, put Judge Philpot has never been able to ascertain what becomes of the child ren after they are placed in the nome. He has repeatedly stated that the agents of the Home say that the chll- dren are found good hcmes. Whether they are ever permitted to comnluni- cate with their parents or whether their parents have ever been able to learn of their whereabouts after they are placed in the home anu later "adopted' by others, has not been learned
 We know nothing of the charges against Dr. billiard, but we do know from observation and local incidents that the "Childrens' Home System i'll this state should be investigated ana the law governing the disposition Of homeless and neglected children amended or repealed.

KNOWLEDGE
Is a Better Guide Than
 Instinct When Buying ::
By HOLLAND.

By HOLLAND.
 IT NOWLEDGE is more A widespread today than ever before. Twenty-Five years ago much buying was done by instinct-done in haphazard way that is thing of the past like the spinning wheel and the tai low candle. -.-=-
 Your grandmother trusted largely to luck-you depend on knowledge when it comes to spending money. What causes the difference? Ad' vertising.
 Publicity has revolutionized business. 1t has increased business honesty. has advanc- ed business ethics and has ended sIipshod methods.
 To gain the advantage of these changed conditions you must have knowledge. You must know values. You can learn them only by studying advertising. In no other way can you learn what is best and what the best is worth. CARELESS BUYING
 OFTEN MEANS
 DISAPPOINTMENT.
 Equip yourself with the knowledge necessary for eco- no1nical buying. If you have money to spend you owe this to yourself and to those for whom you buy.

Cultivate Sense of Humor,

A sense of humor is certainly the salt of life, either of the married va riety or the plain, single existence. It certainly helps wife to laugh off many little bruise that otherwise would grow into a fostering sore. To see the funny side of many of the trivial annoyances of life at the time they happen certainly eases the situar ton.

That full report by the special
committee appointed to investigate
the project of abandoning the Morris
canal will not be made at this session
Of the Legislature was the decision
reached at meeting of the COM
n1ittee members today. The members
agreed to present a preliminary re-
port in which they would ask for the
revival of the appropriation granted
them last year.
Chairman Carlton Godfrey announ-
ced that an immense amount OF work
had been completed, but before fuli
report could be submitted, he SAID
there still remains much to be IN
vestigated. He added that he was
Informed that Governor Wilson wish
ed to complete this years legislative
session before March 4. but other
members were of the opinion that
the present session would extend sew
eral weeks beyond inauguration day
The members agreed that full re-
mort could not be rendered in that
time.
The meeting was held in the office
of the commission in the Prudential
building Commissioner Fred G.
Stickel. jr., who is also secretary
read the resolution upon which the
1912 Legislature appointed the com
mission. and the other members
agreed with him that it would be I'M
possible to carry out the work pre-
scribed before the end of the present
session of the Legislature.
chairman Godfrey declared that, IN
addition to the work accomplished, II
would be necessary for the commis-
sion to advise as to what use the
land should be put in the event OF the
canal being abandoned. Other ques-
.ions he expected should be answered
were: What is the land WORTH Wna'
should the State receive for It's por-
ton?

WALDO ACTS ON
GRAFT CHARGES
Commissioner, However, Will
Probe PurceII's Story Before
Making Suspensions.

NEW YORK, Feb 8.-Police Com
missioner Waldo today took up the
lead opened by the aldermanic in
vestigaton of police graft, and began
the investigation of charges made by
James Purcell, a veteran gambler,
against four captains now on the
force. On the strength of Purcell s
unsupported story, said Waldo, he
would do nothing, but If his investi-
cation corroborated the gamblers
charges he would suspend the ac-
cused officers.
The police captains Purcell charged
with receiving tribute Tor protecting
his gambling establishments are: Pat
rick J. Cray, brother-in-law of
Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany
leader, and Captains Martens. Maude
and Cochrane. Others he mentioned
are no longer on the force.
1t was pointed out at police head
quarters today that the police graft
Purcell told about was levied during
a long. term of years and under vari-
Gus police commissioners.
PurcelPs story was the most i'm
portant told to the committee since
it began its inquiry itno police condi-
tions following the murder of Her
man Rosenthal. shot down because he
"squealed."
There was no session of the alder
manic committee today, and it was
not made known whether Purcell
would be recalled to the stand on
Monday.
The aldermanie committee is work.
ing hand-in-hand with the district at
torney's office, and as the police de-
partment and the district attorney
are at daggers' points neither is ac-
cepting the word of or cooperating
with the other in any way.
On Monday Captain Thomas Walsh,
who recently. confessed to grating
and implicated Inspector Dennis
Sweeney, is to go before the. grand
jury and tell his story. Both he and
Sweeney are now under suspension
After the Walsh evidence is present
ed Purcell will tell his tale to the
grand jury and a big batch of indict-
ments is expected within ten days.

5U. S. WARSH|PS
GET RUSH ORDERS
TO LATIN STATES
Rumor of Wilson Pol
icy Fans Revolu-
tionary Flame.
UNCLE SAM, TAKING NO
CHANCES, ACTS RAPIDLY
Naval Force to Protect Amer
leans on Atlantic and Pa
cific Sides.


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Prepara-
tions for rushing five United States
men o'war to both coasts of Central
America, to meet any emergency
which may arise from the brewing
unrest there, went forward rapidly
today.
Belief by the professional revolu-
tionists that President Wilson will
not adhere to the Taft policy of in
terfering in affairs of Central
American republics is today declared
by many to be the reason for the
unrest prevailing there. Many rumors
of incipient revolts and uprisings are
being received here. The fact that
four American warships have been
ordered to Central American ports
is taken as significant.
The gunboat Annapolis. with her
crew of jackies augmented from the
South Dakota and Colorado, started
last night from San Diego, Cal, for
Amapala. Honduras, to stand guard
on the Pacific coast.
The Nashville at New Orleans is
making ready for sea and is expected
to put out for Puerto Cortez, Hondu-
ras, on the Atlantic side, early Mon
day morning.
The cruiser Des Moines, now at
Guantanamo, the Cuban naval sta
tion coaling, mas been ordered to be
at Bluef1elds, Nicaragua. not later
than February 10
The Denver, which has been stand
ing by distressed Americans threat
ened by attack from Mexican rebels
at Acapulco, will put out from there
In a day or two and drop down to
Acajutla, Salvador.
1t Is practically decided that these
four ships whose movements We're
tieciied upon late yesterday. after
Washington had received reports of
possible trouble in the Latin Repub-
lies, will be augmented by the gtn-
boat Tacoma, now at Boston. Final
orders for her movement have not
been issued but are expected prob
ably today.
From its confidential sources, in
Central America, this government,
especially interested in preserving
the peace among the little republics,
has been receiving ominous and spec
iflative reports of iuntas of deposed
dictators and revolutionists meeting
here and there, plotting to stir up
trouble. While the presence of Amer
lean warships would be principally
intended to provide refuge for. Amer
leans and other foreign citizens, there
is no doubt that marines and blue
1aTkets might be used in the interior
If q situation should arise paralleling
that in Nicaragua in the recent rev.
olution, when American troops We're
called upon to open a railroad and
openly engage the rebels in battle.
There has been sharp criticism in
Congress of this governments inter-
terence in the Nicaraguan revolution,
but it is said President Taft and Sec
retary Knox are firmly convinced of
their right to use American forces,
for the protection of United States
citizens and property whenever
state OF anarchy exists in Central
America or the established govern
ments fail TO do so.

TRENTON. N. J.. Feb. s.-sarah

seriously injured last night at Roelofs,
Pa. in the accident that cost the life
Of her sister Anna and Bernard
Sagen baum. still remains in an un-
conscious condition at Mercer Hos
pital. Physicians at the hospital are
apprehensive that the injuries to the
girl will prove fatal
The injured girl Immediately upon
arriving at the hospital last night
was put upon the operating table ana
the surgeons hasty action is thought
to have prolonged her life.
Sagenbaum and Anna were sweet
hearts. He met the two girls by ap-
pointrnent at the station, having re-
oeived a message that they would ar
rive from Philadelphia on a train
reaching Roloefs at I o'clock. After
their arrival the girls stood chatting
with the youth on the station plat
form. Then they started to cross the
tracks. this being necessary TO reach
stony Hill, two miles distant, where
the Misses Bubar lived.
The three were so much interested
in their conversation that they did
not hear the roar of the Royal Bloe
until too late to get out of its way.
The train was halted after the ae-
cident and the unconscious Sarah
was lifted aboard and brought to the
Mercer Hospital.
The Royal Blue express two weeks
aso sideswiped a freight train at
Yardley. Pa. near the scene OF last
nights tragedy, and several persons
