PLAN TO PUSH BILL MEETS OF.
POSITION.


Washington. Jan. 16.--Division ir
Democratic ranks over the form of the
government ship purchase bill devel.
oped at q party caucus late today
held to clarity the legislative tangle
which threatened the administration
programme for the short session.
Although u resolution was adopted
to make a shipping bill the unfinished
business Of the senate after passage
Of the District Of Columbia appropria-
ton bill, II was accomplished only on
q decision to hold another caucus
Monday night to pass on amendments
to the ship purchase bill.
Vigorous opposition to the govern
ment ownership feature was expressed
by several senator's and several
amendments. 1t was declared, would
be submitted to the caucus.
With only six weeks Of the regular
session remaining. senate leaders have
become uneasy.
When the caucus met, Senator
Fletoher. In, charge Of the ship bill,
offered resolution to make the bill
the paramount business Of the senate
next week. Several senator's suggested
that 1t be considered to the exclusion
os appropriation bills for a period OF
two weeks. If in that time 1t should
develop that II could not be passed.
some senator's were said to be ready to
abandon all hope of getting vote on
the measure at this session.
Senator Hardwick Of Georgia told
the caucus he had informed the presi-
dent OF his opposition to the bill be-
cause Of his antipathy for government
ownership.
Senator Stone pleaded for an IN
dorsement OF the measure.
Other senator's insisted that the shin
bill should be given careful considera-
ton before any caucus agreement was
made.
Some progressive Republicans, It is
said. Will Join with the Democrats In
support OF the measure IL II Is amend
ed to their satisfaction.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Provisional
President Eulalio Gutierrez of Mexico
City has publicly expressed his ap-
proval Of that portion of President
Wilson's Indianapolis speech refer
ring to Mexican affairs. The text
of an autograph letter by Gutierrez
which appeared in the Mexico City
press was today given out by the state
department as follows:
THE Mexican people and my gov
ernment have received with satisfac-
tiOn the opinions contained in the
speech Of President Wilson at In
dianapOlis. These opinions serve as q
further proof of the purity Of his
views. President Wilson's profound
sympathy for our people has always
been appreciated by us. In all the in
cidents that have arisen subsequently
to his taking charge Of the admins
tration this sympathy has been in
variably shown.
"We have always had feeling OF
gratefulness to this great American
statesman for Just the attitude as
sumed by him i'm not doing anything
to hinder the struggles of people in
the efforts made by them to sundel
the bonds Of fanaticism and tyranny
A masters seat for the table of tho
world has been made Cf the grca,
capital by Mr.. Wilson. We trust that

American people think and feel the

NO DECISION REGARDING DACIA.
Ihirty-eAeht ships Detained Since
f'esinninsA Aof the War.
London, Jan. 15.--Sir Edward Grew.

the British foreign secretary, has re-
ceiyed y dispatch from the state de-
partrnent at Washington asking IL
there would be any objection to the
former Hamburg-Ame line
steamer Dacia. which now flies the
American flag. making the trip from
America to Bremen with q cargo of
cotton without establishing a prece-
dent as to the sale Of German ships to
Americans. The foreign office has
reached no decision.
1T can be said on high authority that
several high British officials still feel
that the Dacia should not enter the
German trade under any conditions. A
change OF the vessels destination from
Bremen to Rotterdam Is not regarded
as altering the case materially. Should
cotton be shipped in the Dacia for
the German trade II seems likely the
cargo would be bought by Great Brit
ain IL the Dacia were held for a prize
court. on the ground that the sale was
not bona fde.
The Associated Press has obtained a
list OF most Of the ships detained since
the beginning OF the war by France
or Great Britain while carrying Amer
lean goods. The list contains 80 ships.
In October II vessels were detained.
The Taurus. Antares and Tyr, 1t Is be-
iieved. still ore being detained.
Eight vessels were detained in No.
vember. The Alfred Nobel. the Bjorn-
stterne Bjornson and Fran still are
held.
In December seven vessels were de-
tained and Of them the Zamaora. Au-
: sustus and Canton were permitted to
: proceed. The dispositions of the Ar
kansas. Gallileo. Ran and Norheim

SEGREGATE RACES N PULLMAN
RAILROAD COMMISSION ASKS
LEGISLATIVE AID.
Board Is Not Satisfied With Plea of
COmpany-Calls for ActiOn-Scpa-
ration OF Races.

Columbia, Jan. 1S.--"The South
Carolina commission respectfully
urges upon your honorable body and
earnestly requests that you pass such
legislation as, in your judgment, the
necessities of the case demand" say
the members of the railroad commits
sion. John G. Richards, b. l.. Caugh-
man and G. McDuffie Hampton, in
their annual report sent to the gener.
al assembly, discussing the segrega-
ton of races in Pullman cars.
For the past IS months and since
1t has become known to the commits.
sion that the Pullman company was
disregarding the south Carolina Jim
Crow law" says the report, 1--WE hay e
made earnest and persistent efforts to
correct this evil. There is no law
upon the South Carolina statute books
requiring the separation Of the races
by the Pullman company, although a
member Of the present railroad com.
mission introduced the bill and tried
to have the legislature OF 1905 pass
such an act. ...r.. ...
''The Pullman people have stated to
the commission that they are in SYM
pathy with our people in their efforts
to enforce race segregation, both upon
railroad and Pullman cars, but that
their service through South CarOlins
Is entirely interstate and that any er-
fort upon their part to meet this
righteous demand of our people would
bring them into conflict with the ma
tional law. We do not think that this
position or the Pullman company is a
tenable one. or that they should be
allowed longer to disregard the
wishes of our people upon this i'm
portant matter.
Many Of the trains operating In
South Carolina are interstate trains.
several of them traversing most OF
the Atlantic States, yet we never hear
Of these railroad authorities violating
the South Carolina Jim Crow law, or
attempting to evade the law upon the
ground that they are engaged in In
terstate traffic. A negro who pur-
chases railroad ticket in North Car
olina for some point in Florida, Is
found riding in the negro coach when
he passes through South Carolina, but
II the same negro purchases a Pullman
ticket he Is permitted by this company
to seat himself among white ladies
and gentlemen who may be occupying
the car
Negro passengers occupy berths
that must in future be occupied by
white ladies and white gentlemen.
this Is matter that can and should
be stopped. The commission feels
that the Pullman company should bo
required to furnish separate accommo-
dations for the races. This can be
done by increasing the number of
their cars, as in the case Of the rail-
road, or by building partitions in the
cars that they now operate. One
third, or even one-fourth. of the space
OF tile present Pullman car should be
sufficient to accommodate the negro
travel. This space would be sufficient
both In dining cars as we'll as in Sleep
ing cars.

SELL FOWLS By WEIGHT.
Iiaphazard Way of Selling Poultry
Unfair to Buyer and Seller, Says
Prof. Hare.

rrOf. Hare.
Clemson College, Jan. 16.-The
only satisfactory and equitable way
to buy or sell poultry is by the
pound, according to +. c. Hare, poul-
try husbandman Of Clemson College,
who is doing what he can to en-
courage farmers in South Carolina
to adopt this method for all poultry
transactions.
''The practice in vogue in various
sections of the Stctc of selling chic. -
ems by the pair" SAID Mr.. Hare, rs
improbable for botn producer anG
consumer. The consumer gains and
the producer loses when a we'll
fleshed pair Of chickens is sold for
the same price as a thin pair. The
consumer loses and the producer
gains when the former buys a pair
Of thin birds at the same price as
that paid for well-neshed chickens.
I'm reference to buying chickens, it
Is interesting to note an experiment
conducted by an agricultural college.
Two pairs Of farm-raised Barred Ply
mouth Rocks Of equal weight were
bought. One pair when killed
weighed 1-2 pounds and the chick
ems were cooked. There was / pound,
10 ounces Of edible meat, II ounces
OF bone. and 2 pounds, four ounces
OF waste matter. The other pair
was fatted for month and when
killed weighed 10 pounds, 12 ounces.
After being cooked, they produced
8 pounds OF edible meat, IS ounces of
bone, and 4 pounds, 10 ounces OF
waste matter. The special feeding
this pair had received had added 3
pounds of good meat and very little
bone.
From the above experiment we
find that there is three times as
much meat on a fatted chicken rs on
q thin one. The latter is unprofit-
able to buy. 1t is more profitable to
purchase one well-meated chicken
than pair of thin birds of equal
weight, as in the latter case one
pays for two carcasscs instead OF
one.
THE only satisfactory and eQuit-
able way to buy poultry is by thr
pound. Then both producer and
consumer give and receive value. II
Is interesting to note that selling by
the pound is growing in favor OF our
markets. 1t is the only method used
in markets where the poultry in
dustry receives more attention. Nc
one thinks of buying beef or pork at
so much a piecc-whether large OF
smail--and it is just as unjust tC
buy chickens Ly the pair as to az
pcct the merchant 20 sell other
wares of N"'yinss values for IL certain
fixed price"
