Letter to Mr.. F. H. Sucker,
NeWnOrt. Ark:

Dear Sir: 1T costs as much
to put on poor paint as good
a common saying and true-it
costs much more to put on poor
paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and bar
ytes or paint and sand or paint
and lime or paint and chalk or
paint and benzine or paint and
water; these are the usual
cheats; there are others.
1t takes more gallons of
paint-and-a- cheat than of honest
paint; and the cost of the la
Dor of painting is so much a gal
lon-one gallon costs as much as
another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon
your costs for this year; but
how about next year?
Paint Devoe, and next year
costs nothing; year after next
the same; the same for several
years.
Paint anything else, and your
costs recur according to what
you paint with. Some of the
mixtures wear one year; some
two; some three.
1t costs twice, three times,
four times, five times, as much
to paint with a cheat as to paint
with Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. Devoe & Co.

DEMAND REPORT OF BIRTHS,
Physicians and Parents Are To Be
Prosecuted

Wholesale prosecutions of phrsi
clans and parents who neglect to re
port births is the plan the officials OF
the State Board of Health have
adopted to enforce the statute reqlir-
ing birth registration The fact that
parents of children may be prosecuted
is not generally known, but the law
provides that where a physician is not
in attendance the parents of a child
shall appear before the state health
officer and record the birth Several
prosecutions have already been made
in the counties and in nearly all of
the cases, the defendants have pleaded
ignorance of the law. However, this
has not been accepted as an excuse
and number of fines have been i'm
posed. The law governing the birth
registration was considered inadequate
and at the last session of the legisla-
ture it was amended so that now the
state authorities have plenty of
grounds on which to bring prosecu-
tons for failure to report births. Dr.
F. v Beidler, who is in charge of the
vital statistics bureau of the State
Health Department, is endeavoring to
ascertain all cases where physicians,
midwives or parents have neglected
to report births since the new law
went into effect and suits against
those who have not Obeyed the statute
will follow.

AFTER
MAYOR GAYNOR
Five Sticks of Explosives Found
Under His Window.
HPREVENTEDBYDEFECT
Discovery Was Made BY Citizen
Passing Through New
York's City Hall
Park

New York.-A deadly charge of
dynamite-three whole 1O-inch sticks
and two halves with a fuse and detona-
tor-was discovered near Mayor Gay
nor's office windows in the City Hall.
The bureau of combustibles found that
the explosive was 40 per cent dyna-
mite, the regulation blasting proper
ton, and the amount found would, if
exploded. have wrecked the City Hall
The Mayor was in his office when
the dynamite was discovered by citi-
zen passing through City Hall Park
MIR. Gaynor eyinced little interest when
told of the explosives proximity, and
remained apparently undisturbed at
his desk while police officers hurriedly
drew a Gordon about the dynamite to
keep back an excited crowd
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives
threatening letters, but he would make
no statement regarding the possible
connection between any previous
threat by mail and the dynamite. 1t
is just three years ago this month that

crank, and so badly wounded that for
several days it was feared he would
die
The investigators do not attach
much Importance to the finding OF half
burned matches and partly consumed
cigar near the explosive Hundreds of
smokers pass the areaway during the
noon hour and some of them occa-
sionally throw dead matches and cigar
butts there
The police authorities say that la
borers sometimes carelessly drop
dynamite sticks near, their blasting
operations. There Is an excavation
shaft on the Broadway side of City
Hall Park, leading to the new subway
construction. Detectives are making
close investigation of this location
although the contractors declare that
they do not use 40 per cent. dynamite
in their operations.

CAPITAL CHAT
WANTS STATE TO TAKE BRIDGE.
Anne Arundel Authorities May Re-
move Draw Over Creek.

Anne Arundel Authorities May Re-
move Draw Over Creek.
What will probably be the last
formal action in the long pending fight
between Anne Arundel county and
State Roads officials as to the con-
troll of the bridge over College creek,
to Annapolis, was taken by the county
authorities. Acting under direction Of
the commissioners, Ridgely P. Melvin,
counselor sent to Governor Goldsbor-
ough and Chairman Weller, of the
Roads Commission, a letter insisting
that the structure be taken over by
the commission. 1t is not improbable
the bridge may be closed to traffic as
a result.
The matter was taken before the
Court of Appeals several months ago
on a mandamus appeal and that
tribunal, in way, decided adversely
to the county. The courts opinion
was that while the commission must
ultimately assume control of the
bridge, yet there was no immediate
obligation. Following this mandate,
the county made improvements that
were imperative, as it is the main
entrance to Annapolis from trucking
sections of the Third district
oh
the War Department, is a party to the
dispute. 1t has instructed the county
to place a new steel draw span of 40
feet so as to remove an impeachment
to navigation, and declines to extend
beyond October / the time limit for
completing the work. The County
Commissioners take the stand that
this would be useless expense to the
county since the State will eventually
have to take control of the structure
Another phase of the question is the
possibility of the State Roads Com
mission adopting another location for
the Annapolis terminus of the boule-
ward This would mean the removal
of the entire bridge.
Unless some satisfactory agreement
is made the county authorities con-
template abandoning the bridge en-
tirely and remove part of the draw,
thus complying with the Federal regu
latiOns. This would entail consider
able hardship to automobile parties
and others as they would be COMPEL
ed to make a detour over poor
road, entering the city by the west
end

JOHNSON'S LIFE
IS THREATENED

Lobby investigators.
MANY ANONYMOUS LETTERS.
Chairman OF the House District OF
Columbia Committee Tells OF
Repeated Threats Made
Against Him.

Washington.-How his life was
threatened, his person Swallowed and
his possessions rified presumably by
agents of those interested in defeating
a bill reducing the legal rate of in
terest on loans in the District of Co.
lumbia was related to the House lobby
Investigating committee by Represen-
tatiye Ben Johnson, of Kentucky.
Mr.. Johnson told the story Of how
he secured an affidavit in which a re-
tired policeman named Sam Cornwall
was quoted as intending to take his
life; how he was Swallowed one night
some time later by a man whom he
assumed to be Cornwall. and how the
Congressman drew his revolver and
was prepared to kill the shadower
should an attack be made.
81 had a 45-calibre revolver under
my coat" said Mr.. Johnson simply
land If the man had stepped from the
curb I had made up my mind to kill
him"
The man turned in the opposite d.
rection and walked away.
Mr. Johnson Is chairman of the
House Committee on the District of Co.
lumbia and was especially active in
securing the passage of a bill reduc
ing the legal rate of interest on loans
in Washington. This legislation has
practically driven the pawnbrokers out
of business. and the lobby committee
has heard testimony that a sum Of
nearly $4,000 was raised to defeat the
Johnson bill.
Johnson said he and Speaker Champ
Clark had secured the affidavit involv-
ing Cornwall from a policeman named
Emory Roberts. This was after re-
peated attempts had been made to in
fuence his course toward the loan
shark legislation, said Mr.. Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson described the attempts
to break into his rooms in the House
Office Building until he had to equip
them all with intricate locks, the
shadowing of himself and members Of
his family for months and the time
when he discovered a fire in an office
closet where he kept important records
affecting the legislation under investi-
cation at present He also said he
constantly receives anonymous letters
threatening him with dire fate for
his activities against loan sharks, real
estate sharks and other interests in
the District These letters had come
by the hundreds, said Mr. Johnson, and
still came to his desk.

STRONG PRESSURE
NOW ON HUERTA
England, France and Japan Back
Up United States.
MEXICO LIKELY TO YIELD.
Proposal To Send Envoy From
Mexico To Washington Re-
qarded As DiIiatory
Move.

Washington.-Great Britain, France
and Japan are among the nations
which have interposed their influence
upon the Huerta administration in
Mexico in support OF the efforts Of
the United States to bring about a
peaceful settlement of the revolution.
While administration officials are
silent regarding this phase of the
situation, there is a lively interest
manifest in diplomatic circles here as
to the probable effect of foreign pres
sure on the Huerta government.
Funds Getting Low.
The fact that diplomats from some
of the very countries which not only
have formally recognized Huerta, but
whose bankers hitherto have fioated
loans for him, are using their influence
on the Mexican administration, is cal
culated to produce something definite
shortly. Official reports to the State
Department show the Huerta regime
to be in desperate financial straits,
with little prospect OF getting funds
penses of the government or pay its
troops, already FESTIVE because of de-
ferred payments.
The insistence of the United States
on a constitutional election and the
elimination of Huerta was reiterated
positively by administration officials
"a position which Mr.. Lind has been
instructed to emphasize.
The sending of a special envoy from
Mexico to Washington further to dis
cuss the situation with President vii.
son is regarded here as a dilatory
move. 1t is known that the Washing
ton government has made it clear that
such a procedure would not alter the
views expressed in its first note. 1t is
believed, however, that the Huerta
officials now have abandoned the idea
of sending an envoy and are seeking
to develop a new basis for negotia-
ton.

DEMONSTRATION
FOR THE PRESIDENT
Both Parties to Give Him An
Enthusiastic Reception.
A REBUKE TO HUERTA.
Congressman Anxious To Show Will
son That His Efforts For
Peace Have Their
Support.

WashingtOn.-A patriotic demOnstra-
ton in support of President Wilson S
attitude toward the Huerta govern
ment is being planned by members of
both political parties in Congress. The
occasion for the demonstration will be
the appearance of the President in the
House of Representative to read his
message explaining his efforts to end
the troubles in Mexico.
1t is intended that the President
shall be given an enthusiastic recep-
ton when he appears in the House
and that the enthusiasm shall not be
permitted to wane during the course
of his reading of the message Con
gressmen generally, without regard to
party, are anxious to show the Presi-
dent that his efforts for peace have
the support of the national Legisla-
ture and their cordial attitude toward
these efforts will be intended as an
emphatic answer to the intimations Of
President Huerta that he was satisfied
from advices received by him from
Washington that President Wilson's
Mexican policy, and particularly his
refusal TO recognize the Huerta gov
eminent. was not popular either in
Congress or among the people.
Foreign Pressure On Mexico.
European diplomatic pressure, it is
known here, is quietly at work in
Mexico City in an effort to convince
Huerta officials that the policy of the
United States is being approved
abroad. The failure of the Huerta
government to obtain funds in Europe
through the non-recognition of the
United States is pointed to by the
diplomats as likely to continue pend
ing a more respectful consideration of
the American proposals.
