The breeding of saddle horses would seem to
offer large and sure profits for a number of years
to come This country is now being secured for
animals for the British cavalry, and no doubt they
are being killed as fast as fresh ones can be sup
piled One difficulty is that this country is badly off
for breeding stock since anti-racng legislation has
caused the expectation of so many of our best
stations and brood mares

Political Situation.

The primaries are over. an nominations have been
made. and in each State and Congressional district
the battle lines are being formed for thelast four
weeks of the campaign.
During the week just ended the political leaders
of all parties have been carefully analyzng the stus-
ton in each Congressional district and figuring on the
outcome The Republicans have come to the con-
clusion that they win capture the next House. even
though some Of them are not anxious to accomplish
this result The Democrats, after passing through
period of extreme depression, are again quite op6-
mistic largely because of the activities of Mr. Roo-
selt He is today, as ever, their best asset If he
had remained out of the campaign they would have
been down-hearted to the last degree His trip
through the West ending with an invasion of Penn
sylSania and other nearby States, has given them
encouragement. They know that their chance of
winning is largely increased if Roosevelt can draw
unto himself goodly proportion of the Republican
vote
VIII the Progressive vote be factor in the cleo
ton? 1t has not figured to any marked extent in
the primaries anywhere. In New York, as shown
by the combined vote for Davenport and Sulzer, II
has dwinded from 10000 for Roosevelt in 1912, to
1900 in 1914 In most of the States the Progress
ives have avoided show of hands by arranging that
their candidates should be unopposed but even this
has not disguised the almost total disntegration of
the party There is still possibility however, that
a few thousand votes, &st here and there for Pro-
gressve candidates, may seriously affect the political
complexion of the next House 80

Where the Republicans Expect to Make Gain.


In figuring on their chances for controlling the
next House the Republicans count upon material
gains in New England, New York, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio -
For instance, they expect to solid Republican
delegations from New Hampshire and Connecticut
They expect, also to gain four districts in Massa-
chusetts, that the delegation will contain twelve
Republicans and four Democrats, and they think
that the two Democrats from Rhode Island will be
displaced. The New York delegation now stands
eleven Republicans and thirty-two Democrats Re-
ports said to indicate that after the election it
will have at least twenty-five Republicans A gain
of nine members in Pennsylvania is predicted and
the Ohio delegation, consisting of three Re-
pubicans and nineteen Democrats is expected to
stand twelve Republicans and ten Democrats In the
Middle West very substantial gains are also antici-
pated, especially in Nebraska Kansas Iowa, and ILL
nois the displacement of less than ten or twelve
Democrats in the latter State being predicted With
going into the details of each State the districts
which are now Democratic or Progressive but which
are expected to 60 Republican are as follows:

young waitress who had spurned
him. He wounded her, shot himself
and is dying.

PROMOTION OF
WORLD PEACE
Senate Has Ratified Arbitration
Treaties with Three Big Nations
and Five Smaller States.

Washington, Feb. 22.-General
arbitration treaties ratified by the
Senate yesterday renewed for FIVE
years agreements with Great Brit
ain, Japan. Italy, Spain, Norway,
Sweden, Portugal and Switzerland,
and marked the first step in the
policy of President Wilson to place
the United States in more advant-
ageous position in the world of ma
tions.
Amendments to the treaties hav-
ing been rejected Friday: debate
closed yesterday within a few min
utes after the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session and ratification reso-
lutions were adopted one after an
other without roll call. Opponents
of the treaties made no effort to de-
lay the votes.
The treaties, briefly, provide for
reference to the Hague Tribunal of
legal differences, and questions re-
lating to the Interpretation of other
existing treaties which cannot he set
tied by diplomacy. They are not, of
themselves, far reaching; but in
view Of the long delay in their ratfi-
cation, during which many disturb
ing factors both at home and abroad
have contributed to general agita-
ton, the feeling among the senators
is that the action yesterday will serve
to place the United States on a firmer
confidential basis with the powers.

FIERCER THAN EVER
KNOWN IN FLORIDA
Seven Lives and Millions of Dollars
Lost in Southern California in
Last Weeks Storm

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 22-With
a loss of probably more than s4,500.-
900 and a toll of seven human lives
since Wednesday, Southern Californ-
ia today began to recover from the
effects Of the worst storm in its his
tory With the sun shining most Of
to-day the situation improved con-
towns affected remained isolated
progress was made toward re-estab-
fishing wire and rail communication.
It is estimated that Los Angeles
was damaged TO the extent of at least
$500, 600. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars represented the
damage TO city streets alone. The
rest represented losses sustained by
railroads and by citizens whose
homes were swept away by the flood.
Except in the vicinity of Pomona,
fered severly, orange growers re-
ported comparatively little damage.
Ranches and small farms in the low
lands We're inundated, but no reliable
data could be obtained as to the
amount of losses.
The flood situation about Los An
geles became acute Friday night.
Weakened by the rush of waters,
poles and towers carrying power
lines and the wires of telegraph and
telephone companies went down un-
der the assault of the winds, and
with railroad and suburban trolley
lines already out of commission,
there was complete prostration. For
nearly four hours there was no street
car service and during the entire day
Yesterday the city had only brief per-
iods of communication with the east.
. Surrounding towns, with but few
exceptions, remained isolated, with
out communication by wire, railroad
Or trolley.
More than one hundred homes
were destroyed in Los Angeles alone
by the torrents that rushed through
the Los Angeles river and the AFRO
yo Seco. AS the floods in these wa
terways subsided household goods
and other property were left strand
ed high on sand bars.

HANGING BY THE HAIR
Heavy Charge Brought by Franks
Attorneys Against Solicitor Dor
sey and DIR. Harris

Atlanta, Feb. "a stinging ar
raingnment of Solicitor Hugh Dor
sey and of DR.. Roy Harris. state
chemist, was contained in a card Civ
en- out to-day by Luther Rcsser and
Reuben Arnold, attorneys for l. N
Frank
DR.. Harris is charged with lying
and it is stated that he failed to tell
the whole truth on the witness stand
when he was asked questions which
would have called for information re-
garding the hair story.
Solicitor Dorsey is charged with
knowing that the hair was not that
of Mary Phagan and yet, in order to
convict and to hang Frank, arguing
to the jury that it was her hair.
1t will be remembered that the
present phase of the Frank case
arose through the admission of DIR.
Roy Harris that in his opinion the
hair found by the lathing machine.
where the state contends the girl
was slain, was not that of Mary Pha-
gan. He says he told the solicitor
this and was told that he need not
Investigate this theory any further.
Rosser and Arnold's extended card
deals with all the facts concerning
this hair 1t is stated that it would
be foolish, indeed, to believe that DR..
Harris did not know this evidence
was important. 1t is stated that he
was asked questions which covered
the hair theory and yet he did not
mention it.
As result of these and of other
discoveries in the case, the lawyers
for Frank will go before the supreme
court today and ask a rehearing.

INVESTIGATION HAS
BEEN ORDERED
Department of State has Ordered the
Benton Tragedy Probed to Its
Full Depth

Washington, Feb Secretary
Bryan has ordered a far-reaching in
vestigation of the killing of William
S. Benton, the British subject, at
Juarez. He has announced that un-
til all the facts in the case had been
gathered from all available sources
no opinion would be expressed by the
state department All information
received will be transmitted to the
British government.
Army Officers Interested
Villas explanation was unofficially
exhibited to state department officials.
Army officers took particular in
terest in the reference to Benton as
an armed prowler," and as such not
entitled to the protection of the rules
of war
THE armed prowler" described in
order 100" of the American army, is
essentially a guerilla, they explained,
and one who is caught within military
lines with arms either engaged in the
wanton destruction of property or as
part of an invading force. It gener-
ally was admitted that if Benton
made a murderous assault on Villa
with weapon he might have been
subject to the death penalty, but on
that point evidence is wanting and
army officers are reserving judg-
ment..
All Europeans May Come Out
Closely following the news of the
killing of Benton under conditions
which European diplomats are in
clined to regard as violative of such
rules, has come report of the kill
ing of two Spanish subjects in Mex
leo. The Spanish government,
through it's embassy here, request
ed information from the state de-
partment and SO far this has not
been available. Consequently there
has been discussion among diplo-
mats of recommending general
!. withdrawal of Europeans from the
disturbed country.
