SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Camp Wilson.

Cavalry, October 21-After passing
through a rigid inspection under the
eyes of Brig. Gen. Henry Hill. the mem
bers Of the Sd Infantry were released
during the afternoon for sightseeing
about the town. Tomorrow also the
greater portion of the regiment will
have time off to go to San Antonio for
sightseeing purposes. The country
here is yet new to the men, and many
of them avail themselves Of the privi-
lege to see a bit of this country.
Although it was bitter cold here yester-
day. the weather today moderated consid-
erably and the troops are enjoying the
change. All are in the best of health.
They have been in the field just four
months today.

Lieut.. Brown in civil life is machin-

thoroughly familiar with automobiles
1t was because of his special knowledge
that he was selected for this duty. II
the officer makes good in his work in
this connection, it is probable that he
will be offered a commission in the

tant factor in campaign work.

MAY TAX ESTATE $4,000, 900.
U. S. Officials to Make Levy OF

who died a week ago. leaving an es-
tate variously estimated from 100000
900 to s40,000.000, 1t became known
mere today. The tax will be claimed
under provision of the federal
revenue act passed by the last Con-
gress. which provides for a graduated
tax on inherited estates.
Estimating the Miller fortune at $780,
600 900 tate and federal laws, 1t was
said, would bring the total tax on the
Cafe kings estate to a sum approx

levied in the United States, in the be-

Hughes Received Well Also.

From a man who was on the Hughes
train in the trip to Nebraska comes the
report that while there was no such
spectacular demonstration in hehalf
of Mr.. Hughes as was given Presi-
dent Wilson, yet at every place he was
met by great crowds, and from the ap-
pIause and attention he received 1t
might have been inferred that it was
all over, and there was nothing but
Hughes.
Everybody can recollect some occa-
sion of the enthusiastic popular trib-
utes to William J. Bryan, from the
Madison Square Garden meeting in
New York in 1896, when it seemed that
all the world must be for him, down to
his last chaurauqua gathering. Yet he
got nowhere. In this connection the
writer recalls an instance of the cam
paign in Maine last September, in the
town Of Lewiston, the home of Rep
resentative McGillicuddy. When Mr..
Hughes paraded through the town he
was given a chilling reception. The
Stars account will show that Mr..
Hughes went for squares between
lines of silent, scowling people. But
the republicans carried Mr.. McGiIli-
cuddy's district nevertheless.
Another instance. as long as the sub
tect is up. When Mr. Bryan ran
against Mr.. Taft. The Stars CORE

enthusiastic for Taft as they had been

Discount the Democratic News.

Discounting the democratic news
pouring in day after day upon the
basis of basic conditions, as they see
them; they found no occasion for
reaching an opinion other than that
the republican prospects are promising.
Going to democratic headquarters, the
same spirit of optimism was found.
Things are coming our way and as
long as they are, what's the use of
speculating?" was the suggestion. I'VE
will win, of course"
The Stars correspondent made spe-
ciai and particular inquiries from all
available sources about Nebraska, in
view of President Wilson's recent visit
to that state. Some of these sources
were republican. some democratic and
others neutral The verdict was that
at this time, and before Mr.. Bryan I'M
dertakes his whirlwind campaign of
the state in the closing days. the eec-
toral vote is very close, with Presi-
dent Wilson in the lead. while the
United States senatorship is in great
doubt. with Senator Hitchcock not as
strong as President Wilson.
Another instance of the unwisdom of
depending upon popular demonstra-
tons as an index of political trend is
found in the visits of the rival presi-
Dental candidates to Nebraska. Pre- ST.
dent Wilson went to Omaha and re-
csived a reception which would indi-
cate that 1t was all over in Nebraska,
and it was all Wilson.

PARTY LINES OBLITERATED
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

CHICAGO. October 21.-More demo-
cratic news came into Chicago today
from the states to the westward, and
some of 1t came through republican
channels. Hughes is slipping in the
west" was the sum and substance of
the reports, the term being quoted
from one and applicable to the rest
Nebraska, South Dakota. Wyoming,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington were
included in the collection. Democratic
sources turned out nothing but the
rosiest prodemocratic news
They had kilograms and letters by
President Wilson. In the face of all
the democratic news. which. as stated
in The Star correspondents dispatch
OF yesterday. has been pouring into
Chicago for ten days, the republican
managers are cool and confident. In
fact. they are not averse to having the
democratic good news spread broad
cast. 1t is sometimes well to throw
a scare into them is the remark.
Which. being interpreted. means that
since there are still two weeks until
election week and a great deal can
be accomplished in two weeks. it
might be quite adviSa BILE to have the
country go democratic now and stir
the republicans up. Likewise it helps
collections. Mr.. Hert. the western
manager of the republican campaign,

Duma Economists
 Urge Further Thrift

Petrograd. March 3-A committee of members of the Duma have be gun thrift campaign. and are urg- ing the government to support them by prohibiting importation of 1uxur- ies and by using every means in it's power to turn the stream of unfruit- full expenditure into the channel of national war effort.
 The committee urges that the rail ways should cease to carry anything but the necessaries of life, and pro tests that flowers and mineral waters have in some eases been given pre- scedence over flour and coal. The Ministry of Railways has just an- nounced that passenger traffic on the line from Petrograd to Moscow will be stopped for a week, in order to all low the acce1eration of freight and war traffic.
 An increase in the tax on theatre tickets is also being urged, although the tax already amounts to about 25 per cent of the price.

Paris, March 3-The Parliamentary Committee on Economy, which has been Investigating ways and means of saving money in the public service, tells in it's latest report how mem ber of the Committee was one day struck by the fact that all the am rz.rnitfon sent to the front was packed in zinc-1ined boxes. The attention of M. Thomas, Minister of Munitions, was called to the fact. and he suggested that inquiries should be made at the front If the zinc was superf1uous it would be suppressed.

'It is not the material things that

 of an address before the Interehurch-

 'HThe child must be considered on

 tsHt is not common thing, but count of their ignorance many for eigners have been framed up and
 sent up for long terms.''
 He spoke about the men who were
 brought into the prisons, and said that most of them were neither de-
 generates nor heroes, but weak men. He described certain types of Htera- ture, plays and movies where the will lain was pictured as Q handsome, suave, debonair, bold, dashing, dar- ing wonderful character instead of the weakling he was. thereby giving the child a. misconception of his l, wrong work. On the other hand, the criminal was not depraved or destined to be bad some people thought, butt could be touched and convinced to do the right thing. He attributed a large percentage of crime to physical disability.

able him to see where to hang the
