SENATE VOTES BIG WAR FUND
Increases Are Made to Meet Possible
Estimate for Army of 100000
Men.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
passed the fertilization appropriation
bill carrying $6,S95.200 and materially
increasing the house appropriations
for artillery and ammunition. Senator
Bryan said the increases were made to
meet as nearly as possible the esti-
mate for an army of 100000 men.
IF there are only 10000 men in the
army now, why should we have an
army of 100000 men?" asked Senator
Sheppard.
$50 as to be prepared for war;" re-
piled Senator Bryan. while we had
only 10000 men operating around San
tiago in the Spanish-American war, we
had about 250,0O0 men enlisted. With
this allowance of guns America still
would have fewer guns per man than
any other first class power. We would
have about the same proportion as Bull
garia and Seryia. We should remem-
Der it takes years to make these
guns

ROAD MAKERS TO ECONOMIC
Highway Builders to Receive Official
Orders from State Commission
to Cut Down Expenses.

Madison. John A. Ha-

kiss of the Wisconsin highway conn
mission told the 400 highway build
ers attending the third annual road
school, which opened in the assem-
bly, chamber of the capitol, that the
state commission intended to issue
an order advising county highway
commissioners to use only as much
money for highway construction this
year as could be economically spent.
There Is available for road construc-
ton in Wisconsin this year the sum
of $4,500,000. Chairman -HazelWood
and Secretary Hotchkiss said that
proportionately better results would
probably be secured il not more than
$2,500,O00 were available for road
building. It will not be possible to
get sufficient competent men to do
$4,50O,000 worth of road building in
the state this year, they said. Gov.
McGovern told the road builders that
it was up to them to demonstrate to
the taxpayers that they were getting
dollars worth of road for every
dollar of tax"

ALIEN BILL is HALTED
ANTl-AsiATlc LEGISLATION is
STOPPED BY BRYAN.
Secretary of State Makes Personal
Appeal to Raker of California
Not to Press Measure.

Washington, Feb Secretary of
State Bryan prevented all Asiatic ex-
clusion legislation at the present ses-
sion of congress with statement to
the house immigration committee on
Thursday that any agitation OF the
subject would involve present diplo-
matte relations between this country
and Japan and Mexico.
AS an indication that the Japanese
and Mexican problems are directly re-
lated and extremely acute, the secre-
tary of state pledged members of the
committee to secrecy before he start
ed to tell OF the Japanese complied
tons and the work of state depart
ment to preserve peace. The COM
mittee stenographer was excluded
from the room.
Mr.. Bryan made personal plea to
Representative Raker Of California
not to press his Japanese exclusion
bill at this. time because it would en-
barrass the administration in its eff
forts to allay anti-American sentiment
in Japan.
The committee, through Chairman
Burnett. told Mr.. Bryan action on the
Raker bill and on all Asiatic exclu-
sion legislation propositions would be
suspended until recommendations
shall be received from the state de-
partment.

BILL TO TEACH FARMERS
Amendment Permitting Blacks to
Spend Own Share Of Allotment
Beaten.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Without the
formality of a roll call the senate
passed the Smith-Lever agricultural
extension bill on Saturday. The only
formal vote taken was on the Jones
amendment providing that the appro-
priation given to a state which has
separate schools for the whites and
negroes shall be divided in just and
equitable manner between them. The
amendment was defeated by vote OF
80 to %. The bill, which already has
passed the house, now will go to con-
ference and become law within
couple of weeks. The bill is regarded
as of the highest Importance not only
to the farmers, but to the whole coun-
try. 1t will disseminate among the
farmers the information obtained by
the various agricultural colleges and
by actual demonstration will teach
them how to improve and increase
their crops. A fixed appropriation OF
s1O.O is made for each state.

Criminal Proceedings Follow Clos

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 1.-THE Mer-
camille bank closed its doors Monday.
OfRcers Of the institution, acting under
supervision of ]. l.. Hutton. state SUI
perintendent Of banks and receiver
for the bank. are examining the books
in an effort to determine the exact
amount of the shortage. G. Hunter
Raine, president of the bank, admits
that the alone is responsible for the de-
falcation.
General indications are, it Is said,
that the audit will show deficit In the
neighborhood Of $1,000,O00.
Mr.. Raine has made no effort to give
bail, according to attaches OF the Grim
inal court. He was arrested on
bench warrant charging embezzlement
of $788, 804.76 of the banks funds. and
was taken to the county jail.
The bank president was escorted ne
fore Judge Palmer by Sheriff Tate and
Deputy Sheriff M. w. Palmer. Taking
the warrant under which the banker
was arrested and which was sworn out
by Attorney General Estes, the court
read the document to Mr.. Raine and
asked him if he had anything to say.
Il am guilty." replied the banker .
"Mr. Attorney General" continued
the court, what bond do you recon-
mend?"
Before the attorney general could
reply the banker interrupted with: I
don't want to give bond; want to go
to JAIL"
He was taken to the Jail by Deputy
Sheriff Palmer.
Criminal proceedings against the
banker came as the elimination OF
the banks failure.
The bank was officially closed fol-
lowing an order by the board of direc-
tors, who subsequently filed bill in
chancery, charging G. Hunter Raine,
president of the institution, with hav-
ing lost, through cotton speculations,
$788, 8O4.76 of the banks funds.
