From the foregoing exhibit it is seen
that Mr.. Nipple is easily in the lead.
and so knew what he was talking about
when he said that THE tax payer gets
hit harder in the matter of county sup
plies and printing for boards y
than any other place in public affairs"
The truth of this statement is empha-
sized when n goes to the county audi
tors Office and checks over some of the
bills filed there by Mr.. Nipple. Indeed,
in years done by the board of county
commissioners have thought so, too. as
is evidenced by the manner in which
some of Mr.. Nipples bills filed against
the county have been cut. Yes, some
of his bills were SO fragrant that they
were rejected. Here are the amounts
of q few bills, as filed by Mr.. Nipple,
and to the extent the board of commits
sioners cut them. Just note the fol
lowing. all appearing OF record:
One for SOL AZ, cut to $500.
One Tor $lUS 70, u to $52.0O.
One for 1894 As; cut to $4,000.
One for s25 ,95 rejected.
One fer $50 ~ rejected.
More than twenty bills filed in the
Office Of the county auditor by Mr..
Nipple, in recent years, were either
cut down or rejected. In this respec,
Mr.. Nipple seems to hold the unique
and unenviable record of being tht
only printer In Hughes county who,
during the years mentioned, had his
bills cut or rejected.
The last legislature forced into eff
feet q rigid statute, governing state
printing contracts, and a man of
more than average avoirdupois, arm
ed with q club and pockets filled
with brick bats is on guard there to
protect the state treasury from Mr..
Nipples unclean hands.

NIPPLE WAS RIGHT FOR ONCE
Ii tho Saturday issue Of his Capital
Journal, Editor Ripple was pleased to
STATE. "sThs tax payer gets hit harder
ia the matter Of county supplies and,
printing boards than any
other place in public affairs" OF
course. when Mr.. Nipple said that he
swas under stress, and off guard, and
did not expect anyone to take note of
the matter, and look up the county
printing matter. But, MI. Nipple was
right for once. and the records reveal
the truth
In looking over the records in the
Office Of the county auditor they reveal
that Hughes county has paid for print.

the six years, 1908 to 1918 inclusive,

MRS. CLARK'S PARTY Is
DRENCHED IN BIG STORM
Speakers Wife and Young People
Are Marooned on Wharf at
Fort Washington.

Mrs. Champ Clark. wife of the Speaker
of the House of Representatives. and a
party of young people chaperoned by her
had narrow escape from possible injury
during the electrical storm Sunday night.
They were marooned In a freight house
on the wharf at Fort Washington during
part of the night, drenched with water
IN danger from uprooted trees and nearly
blown into the Potomac repeatedly by
the high wind
In the party we're Mrs. Clark and her
daughter. Miss Genevieve Clark; Miss
McCumber. daughter of Senator McCum-
Der; Miss Baker, daughter of Representa-
tive Baker. and Representative Kenneth
Mchetiar of Tennessee. They went down
TO Fort Washington in the government
motor launch Wilhelmina Sunday after
noon and were the guests of Capt Gran
Vile Sewer. commandant of the post. As
the start home was made the launch got
out a little way from the post when the
storm broke and the party had to put
pack TO the freight shed for shelter
Ihey had no sooner reached the shed
than the launch keeled over on its side
and shipped water in such quantities
that 1t had to be beached by the crew.
thought that freight house surely
would blow into the river Mrs Clark
said today. "All of us were drenched
with water that the high wind drove
through the shed. It was an experience
none of US will ever forget
After the storm abated the party was
taken care Of at the fort for the re-
mainder Of Sunday night and returned to
Washington yesterday.

CORINTHIAN CLUB PLANS
TO BEAUTIFY CLUBHOUSE
Improvement Includes Building of
BuIkhead and Filling In
of Grounds.

Improvements long planned by the
Corinthian Yacht Club, to be made In
front of the club headquarters on the
Virginia side of the Georgetown channel.
between the Highway and railroad
bridges, We're started yesterday, and
when the work is completed the Cor
inthians will have as pretty headquarters
as has any aquatic club in this section
of the country. The work started is the
building of a bulkhead from the High
way bridge to about half way to the
railroad bridge, fifty feet out from the
present shore line. When the bulkhead
is completed a dredging machine will
be put to work to dig berthing basin
for the boats of the club and the dredged
material will be used to fill in behind
the new bulkhead and to raise the level
Of the ground about the clubhouse.
When the grading is completed land
scape gardener will take charge and will
lay out the grounds in walks and flower
beds so that by next summer it will be
a beautiful and attractive spot.
1t was the intention of the Corinthian
Club managers to start this work sew
eraI months ago. but difficulty was had
in obtaining the necessary permission
from the railroad company which owns
the ground on which the clubhouse
stands. The work will be pushed from
now on in order to have 1t completed as
soon as possible.

THE GENERAL SWARTW0UT
GOES TO PENSACOLA, FLA.
Army Transport No Longer Needed
for Fort Washington Service.
To Use River Craft.

July 2, it is stated, Is the date hxed for
the United States Army steamer General
SwartWout leaving here for Pensacola,
Fla, where she is to be stationed in the
future. The Swartwout is now at the
navy yard receiving such repairs as are
necessary to put her in trim for her trip
south. and the wharf at the foot Of h
street has been abandoned by the quar-
termaster department. All freight and
passengers to and from Fort Washing
ton are handled now at the navy yard
according to notice on the freight house
door at the K street wharf.
The General Robert Swartwout has been
in service on the Potomac for about eight
years. She succeeded the tug Lieutenant
AlonZo Cushing as tender to the Potomac
forts. Under the direction Of the quar-
termaster at Fort Washington, she has
maintained regular route between the
Potomac forts and this city. making three
trips each day and carrying all govern
ment stores and supplies as well as trans
porting officers and men. The recent send
ing Of two-thirCls Of the men stationed at
Fort Washington to Panama to man the
Qualifications defending the canal made
the services Of a steamer as large as the
Swartwout unnecessary.
It has not been determined whether a
smaller army vessel will be assigned to
duty here or whether the Fort Washing
ton freight and passengers will be carried
by the river steamers. This latter ar
rangement, it is understood. will be made
for a time
