GOVERNORS PAID LESS
THAN MANY TRAINNIEN WHO
WORK FOR WESTERN ROADS.
Locomotive Engineers Receive Better
Salaries Than the Executives
OF Many States.

acknowledgements of seven
states could make more more money
in a locomotive cab on some Western
railway runs than they now receive
as chief executives, according to the
statement today of James M. Shee-
han, attorney for Western railroads
whose engineers, firemen and host
lers are demanding higher wages and
better hours, in outlining the rail-
way side of the case to the board of
arbitration.
Sheehan declared the annual sal
aries of the governors were smaller
than wages received by some of the
locomotive engineers of Western
railroads who ask increases which
he said would amount to $4,000
600 a year.
"Of the 5000 men whose wages
for the entire year to June 80, 1913,
will be shown" Sheehan continued,
there is a maximum of $3,725.20
for passenger engineers, $1,752.2O
for passenger firemen and $1,890.22
for freight firemen. Against these
maximum the governors of states
receive $4,000 a year or less, while
THOSE Of seven other states receive
$4,000, or slightly above the engi-
neers' maximum earnings.
Compensation Of engineers and
fremen throughout the West" he
said, lis higher than in Eastern and
Southern territories, though East and
South are higher than average tract
i've power of engines in the West. "

84-YEAR-OLD MAN
lust CUTTING TEETH
But MIR. Morris, a Delaware Product,
Thinks 1t Awful to Go Through
The Experience Again.

GREENWOOD, Del.-James Nor
ris, 81 years old, has had trouble
enough for the last twenty years with
boils, rheumatism and dyspepsia
without the last blight, which he de-
clares has put him on twin bed
with Job. Mr.. Morris is cutting teeth,
a process which usually occurs before
the suffering human is capable of eff
fectively expressing himself in the
matter.
For years Mr.. Morris has had but
two teeth, which, thanks to Provi-
dence, hit. He has been getting on
fairly well, but for the afOremention-
ed ailments, and had no hope of ever
doing any heavy chewing again. Last
week four teeth appeared on his low
er jaw and this week two more start
ed through, accompanied by the most
annoying aches and jumps.
I'm not kicking, nor, as a matter
of fact. biting" said Mr. Morris to-
day, 'but it's bad enough to have
teeth cut through without being so
old that no one cares to rock you or
sing you a trifing ditty that might
produce sleep or total coma.

SHOES $1,000 A PAIR
NOT IMPROBABLE
Wall Street Journal Says 1t May BE
Expected With Increasing Scare
ity of Cattle.

When an official of the department
of agriculture says this country faces
the possibility of beefsteak at so
cents a pound and shoes at $40 a
pair he is not dealing in fiction. I'm
pleasant as the fact may be it is not
at all unlikely, and the part of wis
dom is to apply remedy before the
possibility becomes a fact.
The News has published much on
the question showing steady de-
cline in number and increase in price
of cattle 1t has also repeatedly
pointed out the futility of hoping for
relief from Argentina and other
countries popularity supposed to be
overrun with cattle. 1t is time the
situation was grasped.
A wider attention to pigs and poul-
try is the quickest way to add to the
supply of meat. 1t is to be noted also
that the most prosperous states of
the West are those who have the
most hogs and cattle.
Cattle, however, must be the main
stay. Leather, as well as meat, is an
absolute necessity. Experience, time
and money are necessary to produce
cattle. The South seems to offer the
most attractive home for them, and
yet this is the section where cattle
breeding has been the most neglect
ed. If the low price Of cotton turns
farmers to diversified farming it will
be ANYTHING but an unmixed evil.

X-RAY WILL SEARCH
CARGO OF COTTON
AMERICAN SHIP LOADING AT SA-
VANNAH TO TAKE THE STA
PIE TO GERMANY.
WILL INSPECT 10000 BALES

In Order to Satisfy English Govern
ment That Nothing Contraband of
War Is Concealed in Cotton. First
Time Used ON Shipment in South.
SAVANNAH, Cain order to sat
isfy the English government that
nothing contraband of war is con-
cealed in the cargo the American
steamship Nevadan, which begins
loading tomorrow direct for Bremen,
is to have the entire cargo consisting
of cotton examined by the X-ray.
The huge machine which is capa-
Bile of sending its powerful rays
through the density of a 500-pound
bale of compressed cotton is already
set up and ready for operation in a
tiny house erected especially for the
purpose in the berth where the Ne
vadan is locked The ship will take
$4,000 bales of cotton and should be
enabled to sail for her destination in
Germany before the last Of January.
The X-ray machine which is to be
employed in examining the cargo of
the Nevadan was brought to Savan-
nah from New Orleans especially to
satisfy the agents of the English gov
eminent the cargo of cotton will be
in reality what it is represented to
be. w. H. Murphy, an expert opera
tor of these peculiar devices, is to
have charge of the machine.
There is aboard the Nevadan two
regular inspectors appointed by the
English consul at Savannah, whose
duty it will be to watch night and
day to prevent any possible attempt
to smuggle aboard contraband of
war articles. Captain Smith when
seen today smiled with a keen spirit
of amusement over the elaborate
precautions taken by the English.
The cotton will be taken by the ne
gro laborers to the little room par
titioned off from the main sheds and
there dumped into the X-ray ma
chine. The electricity provided by the
Nevadan will then be sent into
the complicated device. The power
full light will penetrate and illumi-
nate the entire bale despite it's dense
ness and any article which may
have been placed inside the bale will
be shown up in dark outline.
Excepting at New York the X-ray
has not heretofore been used in
searcing cargoes on the Atlantic
coast.

age. He ran acountry store near Ar

kept money hidden about his build

at close range, and robbery is pre-
sumed to have been the motive.
Several negroes were arrested, but
Morris shoes fitted exactly into
tracks found near the scene of the
murder. He was found calmly plow-
ing in a field near where the killing
occurred.

Through the efforts Of Robert
Mckinney, president of the
Bayfield, County Telephone COM
pany, who is also manager of
the local exchange, new toll
rate was put into effect yester-
day morning between Ashland
and Washburn, which includes
service over the North Wiscon-
sin Toll lines and the lines of
the Home telephone company.
The rate for toll service between
the two points has heretofore
been at the rate of 15c with an
additional cent for "war tax.
Mr.. Mckinney has given this
matter considerable thought
and study and be finally came
to the conclusion that the rate
was out of comparison with the
rates to points farther away.
He ina m9diately interested the
directors of the company in the
matter with the result that O.
10 cent rate was put into effect
yesterday morning.
The toll service between the
two places is particularly heavy
and this cut in the rate will
amount to considerable to the
business men of the two places
in the course of year.
