Mr., Sessions went to the Canal Zone
when the government first commenced
the work on the big ditch, and held an
important position, remaining there un-
til the canal was completed. For a
year or more he has been superintend-
ent of a railroad in Central America,
with headquarters in Bocas, but his
health has not been so bad for several
months that he had to return to the
states, with his family, to spend the
balance of his life.

Columbus.-(SpeciaD-"The Legis-
lature has q done splendid work,
and the work done is the work
of the Legislature" said Willis. This
was the Governors way of saying that
it was an Embossed Legislature. Il am
glad" said he, Ito call attention to the
fact that the pledges which we made
to the people have been redeemed. For
example, we said during the campaign
that salaries had been raised in an
unwarranted manner, and that the
number of Office holders had been un-
duly increased. Right away commits
sion was appointed to look into this
matter and, as a result, something like
100000 was saved in salaries at the
first stab.
Splendid Spirit Shown.
ITO show the splendid spirit of Co
operation that has prevailed to the end
of bringing about economy l need but
refer to the fact that the Superintend
ent of Banks, Harry Hall, without any
suggestion from me\or any one else
voluntarily went before the Committee
on Appropriations and asked that al
lowance made for his department by
the Budget Committee be reduced
about $4,000. He had found where
expenditures could be curtailed that
much without injuring the public serv
lee. Savings of that kind have been
made right along, under the new ad
ministration. In the liquor license de
partment alone we have saved sene
thing like 100000. ~

no uncertain hand. Legislation
promised has been enacted by an

has sesn more callers than any re-

maintained the dignity Of the office,

Columbus.-(SpeciaD-A reduction
of about 100000, principally in sala.

the various departments of the state,
the largest single saving being $134,'
460 in the liquor licensing commission
The tax commission cut off $4,000
of unnecessary expenses without en-
dangering efficiency.
1t is significant that almost every
Cox-appointed board still in power
argued to the Appropriation Committee
and Chairman Reighard an alleged
necessity for still more money, while
the few boards already in the hands
Of Willis appointees were asking that
the amounts granted in the two pre-
vious years be cut because as q re-
suit of economies already effected
they were no longer needed.
The new superintendent of banking
who has been four months in Office
has cut the cost of his department
$4,000 year.

A change from condensed and

Mr.. Miller, former United
States Consul in China, was re-
commissioned by the University
of Oregon to ascertain the rea-
son for the depression in the milk
industry in that state, and his
thorough study of the subject
has convinced him beyond a doubt
that the stagnation is due to the
foreign competition engendered
by the Underwood tariff law

the free list while at the same
time taxing the manufacturer for
his raw materials-sugar and tin

the consumption thereof. This

SPEED KINGS START

Rain Responsible For Fast Track;
Expect New Records;
Twenty-fow Starters

Indianapolis. Ind. May 81. - The
fifth annual 500-mile race on the In
dianapolis Speedway started at 10
o'clock this morning Twenty-four of
the fastest racing automobiles in the
world lined up for the start
The fact that the brick surface of
the track has been thoroughly chilled
by the rains means that the racers will
be able to make faster time than other
wise would be possible, it was said.
Tires will last longer on such a course,
it was stated. than on one heated by
several days of bright sunshine. This,
race enthusiasts point out, indicates
that the record for the contest, hours
minutes and 45 seconds. made last
year by Rene Thomas, will be broken.
Among the drivers who will compete
are men who have gained the highest
hoonrs in automobile racing. Ralph
de Palma and Bob Burman are two of
the best known of the pilots who will
try for share of the $4,000 prize
money. Fifteen American and nine
foreign cars will face the starter.

To Work Coal Vein on
Mountain Near Dauphin ?

AS the result of an examination by an
expert mining engineer, an eight-foot
vein of hard Lykens Valley coal on the
mountains back of Dauphin, will prob
ably be worked by company of up
State capitalists.
A thorough examination was made
Friday and according to unofficial word
received by Dauphin men interested in
the mine the vein will be developed. 1t
was worked about seven years ago on
small scale. and so far as can be
ascertained contains both Nos. l and 2
grades of hard coal
The members of the party who made
the preliminary investigation are: Mil
ton W. Lowry. of Scranton; ]. II.
Simpson, Pittsburgh; ]. B. Bailey and ].
d. Bailey, of Williamsport, and w. H.
Llewellyn, Shamokin.
Scores of borings have been made on
both Peters and Broad mountains, back
of Dauphin, within the last fifty years.
Coal was struck at various depths and
in different quantities in practically
every instance, but the veins were not
worked hard because of the lack of suf-
ficient capital. The new company, it
is said. has unlimited backing and in
tends to erect breakers and proceed
in a thoroughly businesslike way.
About twenty years ago Lewis Maus,
of Dauphin, struck coal on the top of
Kittatinny mountain. He operated the
vein on a small scale several years, then
abandoned IL
