FIRST SHIPMENT
ARGENTINE CORN
CAME YESTERDAY
SHIPLOADS FROM The SOUTH
Reach New York Prices
Took a Tumble

New York. Jan. 9. - Nearly 100000
bushels of Argentine corn were be-
ing unloaded in this port today, and
millions more fro tmhe South Ameri-
can republic are under contract. The
importations are the direct result o.
the removal of the duty on the staple
under the recent tariff act.
More than 100000 bushels have
been received in the United States
since the tariff went into effect, the
first from the Argentine ever brought
here, and already the competition
with American corn has forced de-
cline in values.
Thirteen ships are either en- route
here or loading with corn from the
Argentine, and one American manu-
featuring concern which uses corn in
the manufacture of syrups and kim
bred products has 100000 bushels
from that country under contract fo-
delivery.
When the new Argentine corn crop
is harvested, the importations will in
crease, according to trade authorities
The corn already here found the rail
roads unprepared to handle it, and
the port without adequate docking
facilities.
Argentine corn in New York at
present is selling to cents under
the price at which Chicago shipments
can be sold in that market, according
to James A. Patten. who, for many
years has been recognized as the
biggest corn dealer in the American
market.

SENATOR HOKE SMITH
PROMISES REG|NAL BANK

Atlanta, Jan, Ex-senator Hoke
Smith who was in Atlanta the first of
this week, made the reassuring decla-
ration before leaving that the south
eastern states are certainly entitled to
a federal reserve banking district un-
Ter the new currency law, and that
this section contains a city-Atlanta--
which can qualify as entitled to fed
eral reserve bank.
While in Atlanta Senator Smith at
tended a joint conference between rep
resentatives of the Atlanta clearing
house and the Atlanta chamber OF
commerce.
Senator Smiths optimism concern
ing the establishment of a regional
bank in Atlanta considered in connec-
ton with other developments since the
passage of the currency bill, has en-
couraged Atlanta bankers and others
interested in the question to take 2
very rosy view of the outlook.

CARNEGIE GIVES
GOODLY MILLIONS

In Bonds Of the United States

New York, Jan. 9.--Andrew Car
|negie recently reduced his fortune by
|$10000.000 it became known today, m
making gift of that amount to the
Cornegie United Kingdom Trust IA
Dumferline, Scotland
At a recent meeting of the trus-
tess of this trust, the fact was dis
closed that Mr.. Carnegies gift OF
$1O,0O0,0O0 in bonds of the United
States Steel corporation, designed
for the fund, had been registered in
the name of the Carnegie Dumferm-
line Trust which is distributing Mr..
Carnegie's generous benefactions in
his old home town. Steps were taken
to have the bonds transferred to the
United Kingdom Trust,
This means that Mr. Carnegie fur
Their curtailed his personal funds to
the extent of $4,000, 900. instead of
calling upon the Carnegie corpora
ton of New York, in which he has
set apart millions to supply benevo-
lent funds.
Mr.. Carnegie said last night that
he felt the gift would be apprs ciated
more if it came from his own pocket
than from the New York corporation

edy," you will get large bottle
of this famous old recipe for about 50
cents.
Don't stay greyl Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkencd

strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and

IMPERFECT WOMAN
HEIGHT OF FASHION
SAYS THE DOCTOR

Battle Creek, Mich, Jan 9.-"The
imperfect or defective type of woman
is that represented by the very slight
thin-chested and nervous woman, at
present so favored by fashion," de-
clared DIR. Richard Root Smith in an
address tonight at the national con-
ference on race betterment, which is
in session here. Dr. Smith added.
however, that 1--WE have no reason for
believing that woman is worse off
now than she has been for many gen.
erations"

H. Laughlin, superintendent of the
eugenics record office at Cold Spring
Harbor, N. Y; DIR. Lillian South,
Bowling Green, KY, and Professor r.
ID. Won Kleinsmid, secretary of the
American Association Of Clinical
Criminology, Jacksonville, Ind.
Deterioration of Women.
In his address on the deterioration
of civilized women DR.. Smith as
serted that modern methods of living
have not proven more disastrous to
women than to men. The speaker
said the most perfect type of woman
| is "that represented by individuals
compact in build, deep chested with
steady nerves and fleshy enorgh lor
the anatomical angles to be nicely
rounded out"
Dr. Laughlin urged sterilization for
preventing the reproduction of degen-
crates and declared that it had met
with great success in prisons and else
where.
DR.. South spoke of the hookworm
disease She recently has completed
ar investigation through the hills, of
eastern Kentucky.
Society, by its sale of tobacco and
liquors, encourages mental detection
which results in crime declared d..
Won Kleinsmid. Whatever may be
said in the way of excuse for the moo =,
crate us of alcoholic beverages and
tobacco among adults, there can be
no justification for the use of these
drugs by adolescents."
He urged a scientific study of Grim
mails, instead of punishment. There
is, however, a danger of excessive SEN
timentality in treating criminals" he
said in conclusion. 81 refer to inef-
fectual efforts Of some who are trying
to work reforms"
At the day session DR., Stephen
Smith, president of the conference, de-
clared the normal age of man is 100

age. DR.. Smith is well and active at
the age Of 80.

BREAKS
RECORDS
SnOw-StOrm Puts Crimp In BusI-
ness In This Section by
BIOcIGading Roads.

This city and county are just emerg-
ing from the effects of the most severe
and heaviest snow-storms within the
recollection of local residents, which
struck Celina last Sunday and continued
until Monday night, tieing up railroad
traffic and making roads impossible.
Railroad traffic is just now getting
back to normal conditions, while many
of the pixies are still impossible. The
rural carriers were unable even yester-
day to make their complete rounds.
Monday and Tuesday the L. E. & W,
the Cincinnati Northern, the c. H. Sd.
and the Western Ohio were completely
tied up. The Western Ohio had two cars
snow-bound here, the Lake Erie was
hung up at Portland, the Northern be-
tween here and Rockford and the c. H.
& D. at Versailles. The drifts in some
places were six and eight feet deep,
while now where the roads through the
county have been opened up and the
snow piled up beside the roads, there are
many places where it is higher than the
buggy tops.

TRUSTEES AND
COMMISSIONERS
Form Plan for Road Work That
Should Show Decided Inn
prOVement.

Looking towards better roads for the
county, the county commissioners and
the trustees of the townships of the coun-
ty, met at the courtroom in joint ses-
sion last Saturday and decided upon
making a levy in each township for road
improvement.
Under the new drag law township
trustees are to appoint road drag super
intendent in each district on or before
March 1st each year The Commission
ers decided to appoint their pike super
intendents from among the road drag
superintendents appointed by the trus-
tees, and at the meeting it was fixed that
the trustees should report their drag sup
erintendents to the commissioners on or
before March and they would then Sc
lect the pike superintendents. The re-
suit of this action will place the work
all in hands of one man instead of having
several to look after dribs of work here
and there.

Impressions Have Been Created by
His Refusal to Allow the Body To
Be Sent Across the 6order-6rIt.

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 26.-That heavy
internal, as well as external, pres
sure is being brought to bear on Gen.
eral Villa to induce him to deliver
the body Of William S. Benton to the
widow in El Paso, or least TO
allow American authorities to view
the remains, was evidenced by the
departure from Juarez on a special
train Of two commissioners, promi-
nent Mexicans, who will lay the case
before Villa and urge him to recon
slider his decision to hold the corpse
Representations made by the Ameri-
can government through American
consular agents to Constitutionalist
authorities in Juarez resulted In the
departure for Chihuahua of the rebel
commanders.
The Identity Of the commissioners
has not been disclosed. Their mis-
Jion is one Of explanation. 1t is said
that they will explain to Villa that
false impressions have been created
throughout the United States and
England by his refusal to allow the
body to be sent across the border or
viewed by anyone except the rebel
authorities and members of the ex-
ecution guard.
AS usual in Mexican affairs, the
story takes a new turn every hour.
The latest story is that Benton was
stabbed in Villas office and was
then shot to finish him or died from
the stab wounds and was shot after
wards.
The declaration OF Villa that he
took the body to Chihuahua to bury
1t is not given credence here by
Americans. However, the mystery
is further deepened by the declina-
ton Of the officials in Juarez to say
where the body is buried and the
persistent reports that it was burned.
Mrs. Benton received a telegram
from British Ambassador Sir Ceeil
Spring-Rice saying that Consul Per-
cival will begin his investigation
here and in Juarez Immediately.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
AT FIT. RECOVERY


At Fl. Recovery a meeting was held
Tuesday evening at the city hall for the
purpose of hearing the report of ]. H.
Harting and Fred Heiby, who were sent
to Columbus to present the state road
petition to the State Highway Commits
sioner, relating to the road from the
corporation line on Butler street west to
the state line. The report was very fav-
orable, and good assurances were had
that the road would be sold and prob
ably built this year. They also confer
red with Gov. Cox who promised to use
his influence in seeing that the road was
constructed. Surveyor Smalley was APP
pointed engineer and as soon as the
weather is fit, will make a survey. The
highway commissioner office has roads
on the map out of Ft. Recovery extend
ing cast " mlHStSI, SOUTH 10 OTeenVllle,
north to Wiltshire, and it would be we'll
for the farmers along those routes to get
up petitions and present the same at
once. Then they will be in line for the
as fast as the funds are
available. About four or five miles will
be built in the county this year. There
have been appropriated $50, 900 for Mer-
Ger county. A mile and quarter of this
portion will come to TT. Recovery this
year. A vote of thanks was rendered
Mr.. Harting and Mr. Heiby.

Another Baker, an Accom-

Dennis Baker, who, it is claimed, struck
the blow that killed Wilbur f. Phillips,
being accompanied by Levan Baker, on
the night November 29 when Phillips
made his fatal trip over the l.. +. & w.
railroad, was arrested at Bobo, FIVE miles
east of Decatur, Thursday, by Deputy
Sheriff Thos. Fleming and Detective c.
f. Gerdeman. He was employed on the
double tracking work of the Erie rail-
road, the two officers having gone from
here to Decatur on the morning train.
They returned with him on the 3:I3
train in the afternoon, and he, with the
two Bakers arrested at Celina on We'd
nesday, occupy cells in the Jay county
Jail on the charge of murder.
All doubt that the Portland officers
and Detective Gerdeman were on the
right track was removed Wednesday
night when Levan Baker confessed that
he was implicated in the Phillips muir
der, but said the fatal blow that resulted
in Phillips death was struck by Dennis
Baker.

LAWS UPHELD BY
HIGHEST COURT
Ohio Excise Tax On Railroads Is
Declared Valid.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Ohio
excise tax on railroads was upheld as
constitutional by the supreme court.
The state Of Ohio passed a law
creating a state tax commission with
broad powers and providing that all
corporations must pay a tax on their
intrastate business. The law was in
the nature of an excise tax on the
privilege of doing business In the
state. Public utilities were thus taxed
specially and under the law the term
public utility" was given a broad
definition, including the railroads and
all their plants and property.
The Ohio woman labor law was
also upheld as constitutional. The
laws validity was questioned by
Annie Hawley, a milliner of Colum-
bus, who was charged with violating
the law by employing females in her
establishment longer than 10 hours
a day.
