Washington, D. C.1Opposition to
he action of its subcommittee in re-
ducing the appropriation for the first
years work from $685. 600. 900 to s5,OOO,-
BOO, prevented final disposition of the
Shackleford good roads bill In the
senate committee on postoffices and
post roads.
The bill calling for $25. O0O, 900 was
passed by an overwhelming majority
IN the house. In the senate committee
4 subcommittee, consisting of Sena-
tors Swanson of Virginia, Bankhead
of Alabama and Smith of Georgia, was
directed to consider and revise the
measure.
The subcommittee recommended a
slightly altered plan of distributing the
money and allowed only one-ffth of
the sum granted in the house. The
house bill proposed to allow S65 900
to each state and to divide the bal
ance one,half in the ratio which the
population of each state bears to the
total population of the United States
and one-half in the ratio which the
total mileage of post roads of each
state bears to the total mileage of the
United StStes.
AS nov pending in the senate com
mittee, a triple scheme of distribution
Is involved.

Mead Of Oregon county kept the Sc
cret of his Imprisonment from his
wife and little children is told in the
parole papers in his ease when he was
released. Mead was a travelling pho
tographer, and while in Salem was
accused and convicted of removing a
check for $50 from a letter mailed by
another. He denied the charge, but
was sent to the pe~nitentiary to serve
two years. He resolved to keep the
news at his Imprisonment from his
wife, and succeeded. He rented a box
at the Jefferson City postoffice, but
never wrote to his wife during the
nine months he was in prison. His
letters were to a sister, who thought
he was employed In jefferson City.
Through these letters he kept posted
about the welfare of his wife and chill
dren. His sister never suspected him
of being in the penitentiary.

Sc. eenevleve Stone Is ssrred.

jefferson city.-When Contract X.
F. Gills Ste. Genevieve stone, which
was shipped from there last Thurs
day to Jefferson City. reached here,
the state capitol commission or Con-
tractor E. NJ. Plump gave orders not
to unload it on the capitol site. The
stone arrived here Friday.
The commission was in session and
ordered Contractor Gill to begin the
setting of the stone as time was fleet
ing.
Gill's plan apparently is to manda-
mus the commission in the supreme
court to compel it to s the Ste.
Genevieve limestone and thus settle
the controversy.
Gill will meet the architects. Tracy
and Swartwout, in New York soon.
and discuss a settlement of the stone
proposition by arbitration. The COM
mission agreed to this, but specified
that none but the best limestone in
the state would be approved. Litiga-
ton might be prevented by the arbi-
tration plan, but officials here are not
very ~sanguine.

1913 was expended for champagne,

facts made a part of the circuit attor-
ney's brief in his suit to revoke the
charter of the club, which will be ar
gued before the supreme court. The.
Missouri Athletic club case also will

that members and guests of the Mis-
souri, Athletic club consumed $685.
827.38 worth of drinks for 1913, of
which only Is per cen were cham
payne and still wines.
An important case argued before

sion to authorize it to increase its
passenger and freight rates above the,
maximum fixed by the statutes.

TEN KILLED BY EXPLOSION
RUBBER COMPANY PLANT IN DE.
TRoIT is WRECKED.
Ten Others Missing and Believed in
Ruins of Fire Caused by Ignition
of Auto Tire Compound.

Detroit, Mich.-An explosion be-
lieved to have been caused by the
ignition of compounds used in the
manufacture of automobile tires,
claimed the lives of 10 men in the
plant of the Mexican Crude Rubber
company in Delray, a Detroit suburb.
The big one-story concrete building
of the company was reduced to ruins
by the force of the explosion and po-
lice and firemen are searching the
debris for the bodies of other en-
ployes believed to have persisted. Be-
sides the dead, 10 are known to be
missing and some reports say that 80
We're imprisoned In the w~reckage.
Eight men were killed outright by
the explosion and their bodies recov-
cred. Three others, frightfully man
gled, were removed from the ruins
and taken to the Solway hospital,
where two of them died within an
hour. The third is said to be near
death.
Fire spread in the wreckage and
the work of rescue was seriously de-
layed because of this fact.
Officials of the company refused to
make public any list Of the men EN-
ployed in the plant or the number at
work at the time of the explosion.
So terrific was the explosion that
scores of buildings in the neighbor-
hood of the plant were rocked and
windows for several miles around
broken, Panic-stricken residents
rushed from houses and stores and
police reserves were sent to the dis
trict to quell a near-panic.

to City Laborer.

Jefferson ,City.-Farming offers an
inducement to Missouri negroes I'm
surpassed by any other calling and
solves the problem of their future by
giving them opportunities and advan.
tages which no other vocation holds
out. Statistical facts which are gi en-
indicate that negroes who are farm.
ing in Missouri are making a huge
success of it, are prosperous, con
tented and entirely satisfied with the
life.
The negro population of Missouri is
157,452 men, women and children, with
1880 living in st. Louis, 23,566 in
Kansas City, 4,249 in st. Joseph j 955
in Springfield, sol in Joplin, 1,S7lsin
Sedalia, 1886 in Hannibal and the 9TH
ers scattered over the state, including
the few that now own farms and 9TH
ers engaged in husbandry.
Out of the $4,000 farms in Mis-
souri,, a little less than 1888 are
owned by negroes. They range III size
from three to $50 acres and are worth,
land, buildings, live stock and etery-
thing else OH them, $27,768,7 $50.
The farm of the average MISSOURI
negro farmer, just like that of his
white brother, the bureau Of labor sta
tistics bulletin says, is well kept and
well stocked and is very productive.
The life of the negro farmer is full
of comforts and joys. Nearly every
negro farmer of Missouri has a bank
account and his profits allow him 10
take a vacation once a year.

which prosperous negro farmers are

a small boat could pass through the

those waters and the first news was
received here almost with incredul-
ity.
