Washington, D. c., Sept. 24.-That

The clarke cotton futures tax will

METHODIST BISHOP
GIVES TOBACCO VIEWS

ST Louis, Sept. 29.-(Special)-,
Bishop B. E. Hoss, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, today sent 4
letter to the Rev. c. H. Hawkins, pre-
siding elder of the st. Louis district, of
the church, in which he explains his
views on the use of tobacco. The let
ter was brought forth by published ex-
cerpts from an address by the bishop
at the Missouri conference of the
church last week, in which he was
quoted as saying that no minister OF
gentleman would use tobacco.
The letter to the Rev. Mr.. Hawkins
says in part: Il did not bring up the
subject of tobacco myself, but it came
before the conference in a memorial to
the approaching general conference.
asking it to make the non-use of to-
bacco a condition of entrance into our
ministry. Personally, I am not in ia
vor of such legislation, and I took oc-
casion to say: "To make the use of to-
bacco sin is to grade down the
general conception of sin until people
lose sight of it's enormity. Smoking
cigar is a question of expediency.
Ministers are very frequently enter
tanned in houses where tobacco is Of
fensiye, and under such circumstances
no gentleman will use it,

COX ADVISES THAT

Plano, Ill, Sept 24.-"Keep the boy
On the farm and restore community life

That was the message brought to tho
twenty-third annual Farmers Nation
al congress by Gov. Cox, of Ohio, 1t
the opening session of the congress
here.
Gov Dunno of Illinois, endorsed the
message. All the speakers of the af-
ternoon talked on the high cost Of
living and all agreed that it conferred
in the emigration of the country boy
from the farm to the city.
Gov. Cox said he saw no reason why

ceums there, moving pictures and the
like A strong sense of community
life should be developed"

is every evidence that animals will die
if never permitted to sleep.
Prof. Paul Haupt of the Johns Hop

two hours out of every "a. This he
has done for more than generation.
Prof. Haupt declares that if he could
stay awake all the time with never a

says, life would be ever so much more

Abolishing sleep may be a worthy

ton Mr.. Edison and his friends are
given, that the mattress trust will lose

Mr.. September MOrn' Poses in
Bath Tub Before Taking Plunge

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 24.-The re-
port made by Mrs. c. A. Traywick,
who runs a boarding house at 21SS w.
Adams street, to the effect that a
strange man had taken possession of
her bathroom, sent Policeman Joe
Sauls to the place in hurry on i
motorcycle at 80 o'clock this morn
ing.
AS evidence of the truth of the
statement, a pair of shoes were found
on the sidewalk, a coat was found in
chair on the front porch, and hat lay
in the hall.
Up the steps of the boarding house
went officer Sauls, and also into the
bathroom. There stood the strange
man. His clothes were in a heap in
the hall, and posing in a position
similar to the much wanted work OF
art September Morn" the intruder
stood in a bathtub which he had filled
with cold water and was on the verge
of taking a plunge.
A large bottle of gin stood near him,
and he had evidently been taking huge
"swigs" to nerve himself up for the

plunge.

Mr. September Morn" absolutely
refused to come out and put on his
clothing. saying that he was a free
born American citizen and had a right
20 vote whenever he felt like doing it.
He declared that he had found" the
bath tub and had perfect right to use
ii, inasmuch as it was the first one he
had seen in some time.
officer Sauls patted him on the back
and the would-be bather straightway
stated that he would act like a perfect
gentleman. He put on part of his
clothing, and with his coat, shoes, hat
and collar in bundle in his arms en-
tered the patrol with dignity.
At the police station Mr.. "Septem-
Der Morn said his name was John Nc
Ginty. He said he was known all over
the world by the same name, and that
according to the information he hal
received his father had worn the
same tag" before him. He also said
that his people were originally from
the Emerald Isle, and nobody dis
puted him. He was given a cell at
the city Jail.
