CANAL ASSOCIATION
HAS new PRESIDENT

A. w. coRBETT, OF ST. Angus
TINE, is NAMED TO SUCCEED.
GEO. C. cuRRIE, OF WEST PALM
BEACH.
The New Smyrna News this week
says:
Amos w. Corbett, of st. Augustine,
is the new president of the Florida
East Coast Canal association, and a
call has been issued for the annual
convention of the association to be
held in St. Augustine March .2S and
20. ~
Mr. Corbett succeeds as the head of
the canal organization Geo, G. -currie,
of West Palm Beach, who rendered
his resignation recently. The election
was conducted by mail vote of the
vice presidents conducted by Secre-
tary Harry Hamilton, of this city, and
the result of the election has just
been announced by the secretary.
For some time there has apparently
been little interest in the affairs of
the canal association, but since the
recent move of the government engi-
neers in the matter of investigating
the feasibility of the government TAX
ing over the inland waterway it has
been apparent that there is much
work the association could do. An
effort will be made by the new presi-
dent and other officers TO put new
life into the organization and have a
strong representation at the conven
ton in the Ancient City in March

Rivalry.

Washington, D. C.-Responsibil-
ity for any statement that after the
European war Japan would renew ne
gotiations with the United States over
immigration and alien land legislation
was disclaimed by the Japanese en-
bassy in a statement issued by the
charge, Tokichi Tanaki. 1t was ex-
planned that an official Of the embassy
who expressed views on this subject
the day before spoke personally and
without any authorization.
Furthermore Tanaka declared that
Baron Sakatani, the former Japanese
finance minister, who has suggested
in speeches at New York that Japan
would take up the alien land issue
again as soon as the war was over,
was in no way authorized to speak for
the foreign office and was discussing
the question solely as an influential
statesman representing a large body
of Japanese public opinion.

WIFE AND HOME ARE BURNED
Man Held Charged With Terrible
Crime - Believed to Have
Murdered Mate.

Mountain View, N. Hired L.
Small, formerly of Boston, Mass,
was arrested in connection with the
murder of his wife and setting their
summer residence here on fire,
The house, which is situated on the
shores of Ossipee Lake, was destroyed
by fire. The body of Mrs. Small was
found with rope tied around the
neck. 1t is believed she was strangled
and burned alive with the house.
Several years ago Small, after Sc
curing a divorce from his first wife,
brought suit for 100000 against A.
H. Soden, who was then president Of
the Boston National League baseball
club, charging alienation Of his wife's
affections. The suit was settled in
court for $4,000, and at that time the
presiding judge took occasion to tell
Small he "believed he (SmalD was
the man to take advantages Of and
profit by his wife's misdeeds."

Warden CHARGED Win Cruelty.

For the first time in the history OF
the Missouri penitentiary, an applica-
tion has been filed with the supreme
court for an inquiry into the punish
ment that is being administered to a
convict, James Underwood Of Kansas
City, who is accused of having set
fire to prison oilhouse. Sept. is. he
was put in the rings soon after the
fire.
The petition was filed with the
clerk by R. S. Brennan, Kansas City
attorney. Underwood was convicted
in Kansas City. Nov. 26. 1918, OF mur-
der in the second degree, and SEN
fenced for 20 years. The legality Of
his conviction and sentence is not
questioned.
1t is contended by Brennan that the
punishment being meted out to Under
wood is so harsh, cruel and barbarous
as to invoke the protection for him Of
Section 25, Article Q of the Constitu-
ton, which prohibits unusual and in
human punishment.
1t is also contended that the treat
ment being accorded him is equiva-
lent to a death sentence, since he is
already the victim of an incurable dis
ease.

Bakery Statistics.


The increase in the price of bread
and other similar products brought on
by the great demand for wheat and
flour from the European countries in
volved in the present struggle for
mastery, caused 1865 bakeries of Mis-
souri, to turn out bread, pies, cakes
and CONNECTIONS to the value Of ap-
provimately $20,O00.000 during the
fiscal year which closed June 80,
1915, breaking all previous records of
the state in this respect. These fig
ures are from bulletin Of the bu-
reau of labor statistics.
The 1,O55 bakeries gave employ
ment during the fiscal year 1915-1916,
to 5,379 men and boys, women and
girls, they drawing $2,S9O.O09 for their
labors. When the disbursements for
materials and supplies and what was
paid out for wages are added to-
gether, representing the sum of $1S.-
0S2,00Q, and this amount is subtracted
from the total receipts for all bakery
products placed on the market, it
leaves less than $7,00O,0OO left for the
profits Of the owners of these estab-
lishments. It Is therefore safe to say
that few Missouri bakers are on Uncle
Sans list for an annual income tax.
The strides this industry has made
for the state in a decade is revealed
by the fact that in 1904 GAL bakeries
turned out products worth S12,672,O 900.
In 1909 954 bakeries had an output
which sold for $1S,524,OOO, and in 1914
1,O43 bakeries placed on the market
bread, pies and cakes worth $19,-
100000.

-FOUR ISSUES SET FORTH
WILSON GIVES REASONS FOR HIS
REELECTION.
Peace, Prosperity, Business Prepared
ness and Eight-Hour Law Plat
form for His Vindication.

Asbury Park, N. Y.-Four is
sues-peace, prosperity, business pre-
paredness and the eight-hour law
will be enunciated by President Will
son when he goes into the country to
wind up his campaign for reelection.
These issues he regards as the ones
upon which the voters will vindicate
or denounce his administration.
The president is feeling fit, appears
a trifle heavier and says he is in great
trim for the coming trips west.
The man on the street, the presi-
dent believes, is thankful, first of ali,
that his country is at peace. For that
reason his foremost issue will be an
appeal to the voters not to accept
what the president terms radical
changes of policy which may alter the
whole aspect of the nations life" and
''endanger the present terms of peace
and good will with the world"
offers Constructive Policy.
Secondly, he will point to the great
prosperity of the country and define
how the administration has placed a
legislative bulwark under this to pre-
| clude the possibility of financial de.
preston at the conclusion of the Epro.
pean war.
He plans to offer constructive pol
icy to meet the unprecedented econo
mic conditions which will arise wher
Europe again is able to enter the com
petitive markets of trade.
Finally the president will challenge
his political critics to meet squarely
the eight-hour day issue and state
what they would have done in sit
uation similar to that confronting him
recently when great railroad strike
was threatened,

STARTING SIGNAL FROM N. Y.
Certain Citizens Seek to Compel In

Do With Chihuahua Uprising,
Says Agent

New York City.-Americans seek
ing to compel Intervention in Mex
leo by the United States planned and
directed the raid on Chihuahua City
and then planted" exaggerated sto-
ries to make 1t appear great triumph
for Villa, according to information
before members of the American and
Mexican joint commission which left
New London for Atlantic City.
United States secret service agents
are investigating what is regarded as
a conspiracy led by Americans, first
to bring about the Chihuahua City in
cident, and, second, to get it eXagger-
ated in the official military papers,
with the object of destroying the work
of the American and Mexican joint
commission.
The reports which have been trans
mitted by Washington and by Mexico
City to the joint commission contra
dict the statements in the account by
Brig. Gen. George Bell, Jr 1t is re-
garded as established by the state de-
partment that Villa was not with the
raid on Chihuahua City and that no
ammunition was captured and taken
off by the raiders.
The American investigators Of the
attack on Chihuahua City are sup
posed to be either political enemies of
the Wilson administration, or Ameri-
cans interested in Mexican property
and anxious to avert settlement
between the United States and Mex
leo which would put Intervention out
of the question. The suspicion rests
on a set Of concrete facts received
close attention from the state depart
ment and the department of justice.
The signal for the raid on Chihua'
hua City, it is believed, came in a
telegram from New York City, or
Washington, to the border, and was
forwarded by courier to the bandit
organization outside Of the city.
The raid was timed to occur just
as the commissioners appeared to be
on the threshold of an agreement for
the substitution of strong patrol on
both sides of the border for the Per
shing expedition.

BY vote of 4 to the supreme
court in banc awarded a peremptory
writ of mandamus to compel Secre-
tary of State Roach to place the pro-
hibition amendment submitted under
the initiative and referendum upon
the official ballot for the general cleo
ton November Z.
Chief Justice A. NJ Woodson and
Judge w. w. Graves dissented from
this ruling, while it was concurred in
by Judges Henry w. Bond, R. F.
Walker, Charles P. Faris and James
P. Blair. Judge Charles G. Revelle did
not sit in the case, being absent on
vacation.
Written opinions, both ruling and
dissenting, will be filed later on, it
was announced.
September 2, Secretary Roach re-
fused to place the proposed amend
ment on the ballot on the ground that
it is violative of the federal constitu-
ton in that 1t seeks to regulate iner-
state traffic.
Charles E. Stokes and H. P. Farris
of Clinton, Henry county, heads of the
organizations that had secured the
submission petitions bearing $4,000
names, contested the position taken
by him and brought the mandamus
through John H. Lucas of Kansas
City.
The case was argued by Lucas and
L. A. Laughlin Of Kansas City, for the
Prchibitionists and Attorney General
Barber and Morton Jourdon of st.
Louis for the secretary of state.
The amendment will be placed on
the ballot by Secretary Roach and

When the state voted on prohibition
in 1910 the form of the amendment
was very much different from the one
that has just won place on the bal
