night i'm an abstract Of report made
10 Governor Glynn 10y John \. Hen
Messy and two expert printers named by

Will be used Joy John X. Clark, counsei
for the Assembly graft investigating
committee i'm an inquiry into the

T the report is substantiated two NJ
bany printing and publishing houses
will be seriously implicated. A charge
Of colusive bidding is directly made
against the J. B. Lyon Company, con-
tract printers and jinders, and the
Argus Company. publishers Of The A.
Lany Argus
These two concerns. the abstract
shows. enjoyed monopoly Of the sta
tionery and printing business for the
state departments and the Legislature,
as under the contracts and arrange
ments for the bidding no outside
printer could hope to compete.
Says Glynn Is TO Blame.
The report. which includes letter
from John A. Hennessy. who directed
the investigation. places upon Governor
Glynn responsibility for allowing these
conditions to exist without trying 70
end them. and calls tor drastic action.
Mr.. Delaney. the Governors appointee,
has not mentioned the matters disclosed
in the report. and the Assembly graft
committee and its counsel will have
their first opportunity 10 produce the
evidence before a legislative body.

The principal opening for graft was
found in tie printing for the Legisla-
ture. and the present one-year contract
for all legislative printing with the

the charge Of collusion. Items IN the
bidding, N which the Argus Company
joined, were held TO establish the
charge. The relationship Of the two

Another Warning Expected.

The United States government Is also
expected TO issue new and PLAINLY
expressed warning to all factions IN
Mexico that the rights of all foreigners
must he better and more fully re-
, spected.
Semi-official information has oeen
given 10 the State Department tha'
France and Japan are preparing TO
send marines 10 Mexico City 10 act as

tion already taken by Great Britain
and Germany.

ciallv known that General Huerta is
willing that the United States. AS wei
as other governments. should take cucn
measures.
Great Britain is disposed TO let the
United States assume the responsibility
for the investigation Of the killing OF
Benton and the developments 70 which
il NAV lead. as the British government
does not wish 10 be placed in the posi-
ton OF having been the cause Of armed
Intervention in Mexico by this govern
ment.

Britain. This attitude is known 10 the
President and the Secretary Of state
and both feel the responsibility attend

plications.
Homo to Pacify tho English.
Both President Wilson and Secretary
BRYAN realize that the indignant
clamor Of Great Britain's citizens must
be met IN a satisfactory, manner, de-
spite the patience Of the British gov
ernment. They appreciate the fact that
General Villa must give a reasonable
| excuse for the execution Of Benton OF
the British Foreign Ofice may be
forced by an indignant British public

desires.
That President Wilson is much dis
appointed by the conduct OF General
Villa is realized in diplomatic circless

that he regarded Villa as once un-
principled bandit who had seen the

hopeful that the campaign Of the rebe

continued disorder. The execution OF
BENTON has shaken the Presidents con-
fdence and confirmed the fears o:
those who have regarded Mr.. Wilson's
expectations as idealistic.

HOW WE GOT OUR
CHRISTMAS HYMNS.

Many popular Christmas hymns
have 4 most interesting history. Those
who have heard the waits and carol
ers sing "Hark. the Herald Angels
Sing!' on Christmas eve will be aston.
ished to know that many years ago it
was rendered "Hark. How All the
Wclkin RinGs!' and was sung to the
tune OF See. the Conquering Hero
Comes" When this former wording
was adopted in the new hymn book of
the Hymns Ancient and Modern" :"
there was a great storm Of criticism
from those who prefer the modern YER
sion. The hymn was written by
Charles Wesley.
The author of "ChristianS, Awake:
Salute the Happy Morn" was John
Byron, Manchcstcr's famous man Of
letters. who was born at Kersal in 1901
Byron had several children but, like
many another father. there was n IA
vortc This child was n little girl
named Dolly. A few days previous to
Christmas Mr. Byron, after having
rOmp with the favOrite. Dolly,
promised to write her something nice
for Christmas morning On the morn
ing of the great day, when she sat
down to breakfast. she found on her
plate an envelope. addressed to her in
her fathers handwriting. 1t was the
first thing she opened, and. to her
great delight, 1T proved to be Christ
mas carol addressed to her, and 10 her

Another very popular Christmas
hymn is that entitled "As With Glad
ness Men Of Old" 1t Is remarkable
that this cheerful hymn was written
at time Of great depression The
author. William Chatterton Dix, who
died In 1900. had been seriously i'll for
q hong time, and he was feeling dis
consulate and miserable
One evening. after he had been some
weeks In bed. he felt q great deal
better and while in this improved state
he conceived the idea Of writing a
Christmas hymn. and as a result Of
this we get ".es With oladness Men Of
Old"
"Once In Royal David's City" is the
most popular Christmas hymn for chill
dren 1t was written by Mrs. Alex
ander, who nlso wrote those famous
hymns, There Is Green Hill Far
Away" and I'VE Are but Little Chill.
