Davis made an extended trip
several days ago in an automo-
bile through Moodford, Mercer,

seen the crop, these stalks are
not exceptions to the rest of Mr..
Doddredge's crop, which is from
20 ia 80 acres in extent. There

AND OF PRoGREssrvEs WITH

BOSS OF THE PARTY.
REFUSES TO CONSIDER

NEW YORK, March so.-William
Barnes said today that he is going to
stick to his post as chairman of the
Republican State committee, come
what may. He was elected until 1914,
and he intends to stay until his term
expires.
There il we'll established sentiment
in the Republican ranks that Mr.
Barnes should retire. or in default of
his voluntary retirement, that he
should be put out of office. Some
of Mr.. Barnes critics have asserted
that he must get out Immediately as
chairman, and some OF the party lead
ers point out that Mr. Barnes is the
real issue between the progressives
and the regular Republicans, and
that with him out the progressives
would begin to drift back into the
Republican ranks.
The CoioneTs Issue.
Colonel Roosevelt has consistently
raised the issue of "Barnesism,' and
with such success that many Repub-
Leans charge Mr.. Barnes with having
cost Job r Hedges $4,000 to 1000
votes in the last gubernatorfal cam
paign.
This is the way Mr. Barnes himself
put it today:
at is not with many of the current
propositions which are advocated
pretty generally at the present time
that the Republican party is at issue
but with the approach by which the
subjects are treated. Progressive
orators, for example, tell their hearers
that the ills from which they suffer
are due to others, and thereby breed
discomfort and mental misery, as well
as Ignorance.
For example. all the political
parties are agreed as TO a workman s
compensation law in hazardous occu-
antions, and that industry shall bear
the burden as an incident OF the
business But the Republican party
holds that the passage of such an act
which by it's terms would result In
conhscation. is not only unconstitu-
tional, but vicious"
Mr.. Barnes friends GO on to say
that if he should learn that the ma
jority Of ttg committee want him TO
getessse@-ssas.as The score of conservatism
tEa1kf& will proceed to organize the
w xANative Republican voters into a
,--.s Ems league to fight radicalsm to
-s~e last ditch. Mr., Barnes said to-
He's Been Vaccinated.
II am naturally immune to the
frequent suggestions made by those
who do not agree with the Repuhii-
can party in its position that 1t should
be changed A State election of great
Importance will take place this fall.
There is not much doubt that the pro=
gressive party viii nominate two can
didates for the Court of Appeals
bench. practically on the platform
that If they are elected they will ex-
press what is supposed to be the popn-
lar will and not interpret the con-
stitution, and the law.
TT will readily be seen that the
introduction of an issue of such
serious Importance will arouse great
interest. and will demand such edu-
cational work which will be the duty
of the Republican party"
Such matters, Mr.. Barnes thinks,
should be in the hands of conser-
vative- Republican State committee.

DRAFT OF HOUSE
TARIFF IS READY
TO BE LAID BEFORE DEMOCRATIC
CAUCUS BEFoRs CONGRESS
CONvENES.
KEEP PARTY PLEDGES
SENATOR SIMMONS Is CONFIDENT
THAT REVISION DOWNWARD

FEW HEARINGS,

WASHINGTON. March 30,-The
Democratic members of the house
ways and means committee completed
it's draft of the tariff bill yesterday
afternoon. Following the meeting OF
the committee Chairman Underwood
announced that the bill was practical
" ready to be submitted to the Demo
cratic caucus, and that during the
next few days it would be checked
over and made correct in every de-
tail.
OF the contents of the measure as
drafted by the Democrats MIR, Tn
derwood maintained absolute silence,
merely saying that the bill would be
made public by the time congress
meets in special session next week.
The measure will be laid before the
Democratic caucus at a meeting to be
held shortly before congress assem-
hles April Eth, and IL is understood.
will receive the approval OF that BODY.
The caucus is to decide whether the
bill shall be reported to the house
as a whole and as whole acted upon,
or whether the tariff schedules shall
be presented to the house schedule by
schedule.
Expects Progressive Support.
Senator simmons. chairman of the
senate finance committee, said last
night that he believed the senate De-
mocrats stood pretty much on tariff
lust where they stood when the tartft
bills were put through the senate
during the last congress. He said
that he believed the Democrats would
live up to the party pledges made be-
fore the election last fall to revise the
tariff downward. Senator Summons
returned TO Washington yesterday
from North Carolina.
While there may be differences of
opinion over some Of the schedules
among Democratic senators, l believe
that we are well lined up on most of
the tariff matters" continued Sena-
tor Simmons.
with our present ajority of six In
the senate we should be able to pass
the schedules according to Democratic
ideas. | believe. too, that In many
instances we will have some of the
progressive Republicans voting with
us, as they did during the last con-
gress."
No Hearings on Tariff.
Senator Simmons said he believed
the senate finance committee would
stand pat on it's tentative decision. not
TO have hearings on the tariff bill.
"If representatives of some of the
industries believe that they have not
had all the hearings that is just to
Them" said the senator, we may
agree to hear them"
Senator simmons admitted there
probably would be a fight over the
sugar schedule. The house is to put
sugar on the free list it is under
stood. Democratic senators from
Louisiana will oppose this vigorously.
and 1t ~ now believed that some
of the Democratic senators hailing
from Northern and Western States
where sugar beets and beet sugar are
produced also will line UP against
free sugar. Among the senators who
may oppose free sugar are Pomerene.

Although Deputy Commissioner
Dougherty insisted today that the con-
fession as made public by him was
an exact transcription of the steno-
graphic notes taken at klotz's bed

serious charges that an investigation

Of Cincinnati is all under water, but

Of the river, and If the levee breaks
the whole town will be inundated. The
levee at Lawrenceburg, Ind, near
here broke last night but no lives
were lost All the inhabitants took
refuge i3 the hills. The inhabitants
like in osher towns on the Ohio, had
sufficient warning to get themselves

Rail and telegraph communications
throughout Southern Ohio are badly
demoralized No trains have gone out
from Cincinnati in any direction ex-

The latest reports = indicate that
there has been much exaggeration
with regard to the loss of life from
the floods. and that the total deaths
throughout the State will not exceed
five hundred, and probably will be
much less. The property loss, how
ever, is probably not exaggerated at
any point

The town 'of Marietta. which is

ed by water, but there was adequate
forewarning and ample relief meas
ures to prevent suffering.
The Kentucky river towns are all
without light. The authorities have
asked the war department for troops
fearing hooters. No footing, how
ever, has occurred in the flooded
towns, and all stories Of looting are
pure fakes. In all towns absolute
order prevails.
