HISTORIC
OLD BIBLE
Containing Autograph Of PreSi-
dent Wilson's Grand
father.

Mr.. Ed c. Peyton. Of this city,
hes in his possession Bible present.
. ed to him So years ago. that contains
an autograph inscription by Rev.
Thos. Woodrow, grandfather of the
President of the United States.
Mr.. Peyton was at the time a pu-
pei in the Presbyterian church at
Nicholasville, KY. and the book was
presented to him by the Superin.
tendent. 1t was published by the
American Bible Society in 1857 and is
five inches long. three and a half
inches vide and one and half in
ches thick. 1t was orig .nslly fass-
ened with brass clasp connecting
the covers, but the clasp has been
broken off. The book is in good con.
dition otherwise. On one occasion
it was stolen from Mr.. Peyton, but
afterward found in the possession of
a negro and recovered.
On the fly leaf in front is this en-
dorsement:

the time.
Mr.. Peyton was for many years
connected with the Western Ken

WILSON MOVED TO ACT BY
HUERTA SCHEME, is REPORT

WASHINGTON, June At is rumored
here today that the abandonment of the
policy of "watchful waiting by President
Wilson in regard to the Mexican question
was precipitated by the discovery by
agents of the Government of a complete
plan of Nictoriano Huerta, former dicta-
tor of Mexico. to return to his country
and lead revolt with the purpose of
placing himself in power and recapturing
the presidency of the republic. General
Huerta is at present enjoying the hospl-
tally of the United States and is living
on Long Island.
On his arrival here from Spain, whittier
he had gone after his elimination from
Mexican affairs by the successful Villa
Carranza revolution, General Huerta de-
MED that he returned to America with
the idea of again taking a hand in the
Mexican situation. Since then he has
been watched closely by agents of the
United States Government, and it is the
discovery by these agents OF another
coup detat planned by Huerta, 1t is said
that prompted President Wilson to call
halt on the factional struggles in Mex
leo.

BAGGAGE VALUATION
LAW GREAT HARDSHIP
New Regulation Adds to Ex-
pense and Inconvenience to
Travellers.

The Cummins amendment with refer
ence to baggage valuation to the inter-
state commerce act has been in effect
two days. Hundreds OF persons in Phil.
adelphia and in the country at large, un-
der the provisions of the amendment,
have been forced to sign blank stating
whether or not the baggage they are
checking is valued at 500 or in excess
Of that amount. In the latter case they
have had to pay 10 cents for each addi-
tional 800 OF valuation.
Travellers everywhere are wondering
Just what Is the purpose of the act and
what is accomplished by II. other than
tremendous amount OF inconvenience
for the travelling public
According to the authorities Of thu
Pennsylvania Railroad. a round number
Of 6,5OO,OO0 pieces Of baggage were handled
the last year On their lines east OF Pitts
burgh.
From tnls large amount the company
was required 20 pay not more than $500
In claims for lost or stolen articles In
addition, for damage to checked pieces,
the company had to pay a sum the cx-
act amount OF which was not possible to
ascertain, but which was pronounced as
very much smaller than would generally
be supposed
The disadvantage and additional ex-
pense imposed on the railroad by the new
law are not very great There Is a tre-
mendous amount of additional bookkeep-
ing involved but this is very nearly off
SCI by the saving in the cost of lnvesti-
cation and litigation over questionable
claims There can be no question over
claims under the new regulation. The
value is written out over the signature OF
the owner OF checker OF the baggage
The advantage accrulng to the rail-
roads under the act is profit the OK
tent of which can hardly be estimated at
this time from the income derived from
the involuntary insurance passengers are
now forced to carry. That is to say, those
checking baggage must pay "A high rate
for protection against a risk so small that
1t may be said not to exist. And passen-
gers are subjected to n tremendous waste
of time such as would be consumed in
the signing n name 6,5O0,OOO times
1t is still cheaper. however, to check
baggage on n railroad ticket than to ex-
press 1t in the majority of instances The
express companies require an insurance
fee of 10 cents per 500 for valuation
over $50

MORE LAND FOR PEOPLE,,

Secretary of the Interior Lane has
been opening up to entry great deal
OF withdrawn public land In the
middle and far western country. For
instance, during May he made the
first orders designating 100000 acres
under the enlarged homestead act IN
Kansas. The first large designation
of enlarged homestead lands In South
Dakota-to the amount of 1,634,OoO
acres-was also made clear for entry.
In Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming,
Oregon, Washington and New Mexico
similar orders affected 100000 acres.
The enlarged homestead act has now
been extended to about 235OO0,OOO
acres in fourteen western states.
Withdrawals from national forests
approved by President. Wilson at the
Recommendation OF Secretary Lane re-
Gently, include 16o.235 acres from the
Seouoia and $500 acres from the
Santa Barbara forests. The former IN.
cludes about $3.50 acres In scattered
tracts which will be subject to settle
ment and entry under proclamation
