(By Henry Chappell)


The London Daily Express. which
printed this poem, said of it: 1.-The
author Is Henry Chappell, a railway
porter of Bath. Mr.. Chappell is
known to his comrades as the Bath
Railway Poet" A poem such as this
lifts him to the rank OF a national
poet" Der Tag, or The Day. has
been for many years past a German
military toast.
You boosted the Day, and you toast
ed the Day,
And the Day has come.
Blasphemer. braggart and coward all,
Little you reck of the numbing ball,
The blasting shell, or the white
arms" fall.
As they speed poor humans home.
You spied for the Day. you lied for
the Day.
And woke the Days red spleen.
Monster. who asked Gods aid divine,
Then strewed His seas with the
CHASTITY mine.
Not all the waters of the Rhine
Can wash thy foul hands clean.
You dreamed for the Day, you schem-
ed for the Day;
Watch how the Day will 90,
Slayer of age and youth and prime
(Defenceless slain for never a crime)
Thou are stepped in blood as a hog
In slime.
False friend and cowardly foe.
You have sown for the Day. you have
grown for the Day:
Yours Is the harvest red.
Can you hear the groans and the
awful cries?
Can you see the heap of slain that
lies,
And sightless turns to the fiame-split
skies
The CLASSY eyes of the dead?
You have wronged for the Day. you
have longed for the Day
That lit the awful flame.
'Tis nothing to you that hill and
plain
Yield sheaves of dead men amid the
grain;
That widows mourn for their loved
ones slain.
And mothers curse thy name.
But after the Day there's a price to
pay
For the ~sleepers under the sod,
And He you have Knocked for many
a day
Listen, and hear what He has 10 say
vengeance is mine.sI will repay
What can you say to God?

ImmigratiOn Bill Starts q Hot

OPPOSES EXCLUSION FEATURES

In its original terms. the Hayes

Asiatics Chairman Burnett OF the
Immigration committee and his fol-
lowers began work early today IN an
attempt to beat the amendment en-.
tirely and leave the Immigration Dill
entirely free of Asiatic exclusion Iea-
lures. They contended that exclusion
clauses would invite presidential
veto of the entire immigration bill.
The Raker Asiatic exclusion amend
ment was beaten, 1872 to 6. All Asiatic
exclusion amendments were defeated.
The Hayes-Lenroot amendment was
beaten 103 to 54 after an overwhelming
defeat of a similar amendment by Rep
resentative Raker.
Debate Was Hot.
All the Asiatic exclusion amend
ments were knocked out OF the Dill
after a hot debate, in which Republl-
cans and Democrats united In urging
their defeat, and the Republicans ap-
pealed to the Democrats to leave the
Asiatic problem free from legislative
entanglement, while President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan were treating 1t
automatically. The bill as it now
stands is merely an immigration meas
ure without restrictions as to race or
color.
The Lenroot-Hayes amendment
would have excluded Asiatics except
those already provided for in pass
port agreements or treaties-thus
drawn to avoid reference to Japanese
leading the Pacific coast delegation
contending for Asiatic exclusion, offer
ed a substitute more drastic in terms.
Both were beaten. The debate at
times was hot and the house was in
confusion. Republican Leader Mann,
in a speech which brought forth out
bursts of applause, gravely pleaded
with his Republican colleagues to put
aside all consideration of party ad-
vantage and vote against the amend
ments.
1--WE owe an allegiance to the coun-
try" he said, above our party alle-
glance. Foreign affairs should be
handled in a delicate way. We owe it
to California to protect her against
herself"
Representative Sherley of Kentucky
made a similar plea to the Democrats
and despite the fact that test votes
yesterday showed a strong sentiment
for the amendments they were re-
jected.

CHARGE
1t Was Filed Against VIII Wag-
gener, Son of Bale.
An Affidavit in TT. Scott Law.
Suft-Trial Feb. 4.

Fort Scott. Feb. 3.@That w. p.
Waggener Of Atchison. general attor-
ney for the Missouri Pacific. and son
OF Bale Waggener, has committed
perjury is the allegation made in a
complaint which was placed be-
fore County Attorney jackson and
filed in Justice Volker's court. It is
alleged that Waggener committed the
perjury in swearing to an affidavit
that the Missouri Pacific is Missouri
corporation, when he well knew that
the corporation was chartered under
the laws of Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska- Waggener was arrested and
released on $500 bond.
The affidavit claimed to be perjured
was sworn to several days ago by Mr.
Waggener as grounds for asking that
the damage suit of Isaac Owens. a
negro. for $4,000 against the railroad
company be transferred to the federal
court, under the federal law which
provides that when the plaintiff and
defendant in such damage suits live
in different states, and when the sum
sued for is over $4,000, the case NAV
be transferred to the federal court,
Owens was injured last summer in
the Missouri Pacific yards here while
loading a wheel tie onto a flat car by
means of a block and tackle
1t is thought by some that Mr.. Wag-
gener may have meant his affidavit to
be interpreted to give the understand
ing that the Missouri Pacific is a Mis-
souri, corporation, although not exclu-
sively Missouri corporation. Such an
affidavit would be Intellectual, how
ever, in removing the case to the fed
eral court.

down GOES PRICE.


According to the officials Of the Con-
tinental Creamery Co. the price Of but
ter will take a cent drop in price to-
day. The product is now wholesaling
for 30 cents a pound. The drop in price
means that it will wholesale for %
cents The retail prices will then
range between 81 and "a cents a pound.
To a great extent this drop is credited
to the new tariff law. According to the
local creamery men the San Francisco
and New York markets are overwhelm-
ed with butter and market reports from
these sections of the United States
show that the product is lower in price
than it has been for many years.
The prices in this city are as low If
not lower than they were the GREATER
portion Of last summer. Part of this
is credited to the new tariff law and
pert Of it is credited to the prevailing
warm weather. The local output has
been extremely heavy this winter. The
warm weather has kept the pastures in
exceptionally good shape for this time
Of the year. The cent drop will pre-
vail throughout the middle west. The
creamery men say that there is a fine
chance of it's being lower. The drop
in the price of butter also means that
the price of butterfat will go down in
a short time.
