use VACANT LOTS,
PLAN OF OFFICIALS
Mayor and Club to Open
Field of Child Welfare and
Charity.

Plans for opening q vast field Of
child welfare, charity and civic i'm
provement work in connection with
the auti-fly campaign. were informally
discussed in the Commercial club
rooms today by Charles Jordan, May
or Robbins and George Seidel.
Mayor Robbins has advocated the is
suance OF tracts prepare for the pur-
pose Of educating mothers as to the
care of children, the preparation Of
! food, how to attend to household du-
| ties more efficiently and how to keep
the condition Of the home and sur
roundings sanitary as we'll as to un-
fold the danger of the house fly and
the effect it has on infant mortality.
In connection with the social work,
the men discussed the assigning of
vacant lots of the city to persons who
call for charity in the winter. These
lots would be used for garden plots,
| the entire product of the gardens to
go to the persons taking care of them.
The civic improvement committee
of the Commercial club may also take
up the plan as the men discussing it
today believe the plotting of vacant
lots into gardens would not only be
charity but would be a great civic i'm
provement and add much to the looks
of the city.
Superintendent Giles of the city
schools will be called in to participate
in the plan and to use the city schools
as medium for distributing much Of
, the information.

MEASURE TO REPEAL
TOLLS INTRODUCED
Chiffon Presents Bill En-
powering Wilson to Sus.
pend Exemption Clause.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Within
an hour after President Wilson had
called upon congress to act, Senator
Chiffon. of West Virginia, this after
noon introduced bill to amend the
Panama Canal act and permit the re-
peal Of the clause exempting Ameri-
can coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of toll.
The text of the provision reads:
The President notwithstanding
anything herein contained is hereby
authorized and empowered by procla-
nation to make, suspend. alter,
change or abolish any toll contemplat-
ed or provided for by the act and may
prescribe tolls to be charged in any
case in which tolls are prohibited
herein"
SoIons Differ
Comment upon the Presidents mes
sage among members of the house
was widely divergent. Representative
Floyd of Arkansas Of the judiciary
committee said:
Il absolutely approve of the senti-
ment expressed today by President
Wilson He made great mistake in
ever providing for free toll
Representative Doremus of Michi-
gan. chairman OIL the CON
gressional campaign, said:
"The president has not changed my
mind a bit. | have been for free tolls
all along and will continue the fight
against any repeal"
Representative Mondell Of Wyom-
ing, Republican, declared:
Il have taken the same position on
Canal tolls as the president now SO
belatedly takes. but | fear that it is
not so much the logic of economics, OF
the meaning of the language of the
treaty, that has convinced the presi,
dent as the fact that to recover from
the mistake in politics which he has
made as to Mexican affairs he is will
ing to conform to a policy in Panama
approved by British craftsmanship.
Representative Mcdonald Of Michi
gan, Progressive said

PROF. HAAS MAKES GOOD.
Gave Two Fine Hypnotic Performan.
ces at Star Theatre Which PIeases
Packed Houses.

Prof. A. ]. Haas, hypnotist, gave
two performances at the Star Theatre
Monday and Tuesday evenings, which
drew out packed houses. Last night
the Star was packed from pit to
dome, and the audience was more
than pleased with Prof Haas hyp-
motto work. Monday night he worked
on four subjects and last night he
had six. He had them all under per-
feet control and he gave the big audi
ences exhibitions of his skill that was
thoroughly enjoyed. In our opinion
the great Santanelli is not in a class
with Prof. Haas, and the latter is
conceded by all who witnessed his
performances to be one of the best
Ihypnotists ever showing in DEBORAH.
AS he is a local man, the son of MIR.
and Mrs. Chas. Haas, the people gen.
orally were anxious to see him work,
and they were rot disappointed, and
greatly enjoyed it. He received vo-
ciferous applause throughout the en-
tire performance.
Sunday Prof. Haas leaves for Chi
cago to organize hypnotic troupe,
and will travel independently until
next fall, when he will go on a big
time vaudeville circuit. His friends
here generally concede that he will
be great drawing card wherever he
appears.
He will give three more perfor-
mances at the Star this week. Fri
day night, Saturday matinee and
evening, and also tonight.
