But the wild pursuit that ensued
was in vain In the first place the
pursuers were not aware of the iden-
tity of the bold kidnaper, and when
they lost his trail had no idea of the
direction he had taken. It was a
sorrow to Winnie's many friends, a
crushing blow to Abel Druse, when
he reached the town on his route the
next day. Forthwith he found a sub
stitute to complete his route, ready
to resign his position, vowing to rest |

to console her heartbroken father. |

On May IA, in open session, Sen
ator RedfieId w. Proctor, who had
been secretary of war and knew
lot about all these things, brought
the matter up by an amendment to
the army appropriation bill that no
money should be spent on disappear
ing gun carriages. This gave him a
chance to rip into the whole subject
and he did a good job.
He charged that the board of ord
nance had originally been against
the CTozier invention; that Col.
Story, one of its opponents, had been
removed from the board and his
place filed by Capt. Pratt, who was
in favor of the disappearing car
Tiage, and that about $5,OOO,OOO had
already been spent by the govern
ment on these devices exclusive of
the cost Of experimental work.
"Ot course" he said, these in
Ventors, being in the ordnance de-
partment, all the experimental work,
has, have no doubt, been done at
the expense of the government"
In that case the government must
have paid the cost of perfecting and
testing this invention, paid the SAL
aries Of its inventors, and then given
to them a patent on a thing created
at its own expense.
Senator Proctor declared in effect |
that the invention was no good and
that the tests of it had ben made |
with pop gun" charges.
After examination and tests, for |
eign governments rejected it. Ex- |
perience in the present war has
shown that it is without value as war |
is now conducted.
But the United States government
has installed hundreds of these car
riages and spent 100000 upon
them.
In the debate of May IA, 1902, Sen
ator Proctor said: The attention

relieved from the board and Major
Shaler of the ordnance corps was

Not for long. Gen. Crozier was
soon back again.
Gen. Crozier is of great ability and
strong will power. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that to a great extent he DOM
mates the board. He also strongly
influences some members of con-
gTess.
He has been opposed to the gov
eminent manufacture of ammuni-
ton on a large scale and in favor of
encouraging private manufacturers.

ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING IS
RISING IN MEXICO

Columbus, N. NJ, June 12.-Rising
anti-American feeling is sweeping
Chihuahua, according to American
refugees who left their mines and
ranches in the vincinity of Chihua-
hua City and CusihuiraChic and
sought safety with the expeditionary
forces.
Reports today stated that Mexican
agitatOrs were travelling from village
to village south of the American
lines making incendiary speeches
against the "gringOes."
In Chihuahua City recently the
schools were dismissed and the chill
dren were permitted to parade in a
demand that the expeditionary forces
be withdrawn from Mexico.

PoMERENE FOR RURAL CREDITS
LEGISLATION

Rural-credits legislation has been
agitated at every session Of Congress
for several years, but for one reason
or another, 1t always has been side
tracked. A rural-credits bill was con-
sidered for weeks during the early
part of the present session by the
senate committee on banking and cur
rency, and recently was favorably re-
ported to the senate. Efforts to delay
action upon it were Immediately put
forth. Ohio's senior senator, Atlee
Pomerene, not only favors rural-cred-
it's legislation, but he favors 1t now.
When objection was raised the other
day to the consideration OF the pend
ing bill, he expressed his views on the
floor of the senate in these words:
"As member of the general bank
ing and currency committee. have
given a good deal of attention to the
consideration of this bill. / do not
hesitate to say that there are some
provisions of the bill that do not meet
the approval of all members of the
committee; but the general plan which
has been adopted does meet, think,
rthe approval of nearly every member
'of the committee. There was consid-
>erable differences OF opinion as to GER
tain features of the bill; but as to
those we were almost unanimously of
the opinion that they we're of such a
character that we had better thrash
them out on the floor of the senate. /
am not welded to any particular plan;
but ] am, without any qualification
whatsoever, of the opinion that we
would make very great mistake If
we did not at this season of congress
adopt some rural-credits legislation for
the benefit of the great farming inter
ests of this country"
Senator Pomerene believes the farm
ing interests have been promised rur-
al-credits legislation long enough, and
that the time is ripe for congress to
keep the faith and act In other words,
he believes that now Is the time for
congress to make its performances
square with its promises. His posi-
tion in this instance is in accord with
the course he has followed consistent
ly during the five years he has repre-
sented Ohio in the senate

The title goes to Stivers unchalleng-
