THE OLIVER STORY

MT. Underwood is favorably regard ed both by labor and capital. The re- publicans bitterly criticize him for hav- ing enacted the tariff Legislation un- der which the country at present is prosperous and under which necessi- ties of life are obtainable by the "av- craze" citizen more reasonably than ever before in the history of the coun- try. Yet capital, knowing that the Ala bamian is conservative and neither rasdcsl nor destructive-ap appreciating his tendency to be fair is obviously willing to see him in stalled in the White House.
 Tn this connection. and as illus
 trative of the recognized strength
 of Senator Underwood, an interest
 ing story is told in senatorial
 circles. Senator Oliver of Pennsyl-
 vania, republican for many years
 in the business of manufacturing,
 moved by something that Senator
 Underwood had done during a ses-
 sion last week. is said to have re-
 marked to Senator Bankhead: If
 the democrats had nominated Un-
 derwood at Baltimore in the ensu-
 ing election we would absolute
 ly have no chance to return the
 republicans to power"

Only Three Names Are Men tiOned In National POIiti- cal Gossip Wilson, Clark and Underwood
PRESIDENT WILSON

Clark Will Be 70 and Un- derwood Only 5S-FavOr- ably Regarded By Capital and Labor
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, February 22.--(SpeciaI.) Senator Underwood as the democratic standard bearer in 1920, is regarded in the east as the logical man.
 At the present time only three names are mentioned in political gossip. those of Wilson. Clark and Underwood. The ensuing fall will see MT. Wilson eliminated from the field of 1920. At the conclusion of the next four-year pe- riod MT Clark will be 70 years of age. Mir, Underwood will be only 5s.
 With the exception of the President, MT. Underwood is now more favorably regarded than any other presidential possibility; and. it is generally thought probable that were the President out of the running the Alabamian would be successful over the Missourian in a contest for the nomination.
 Unless new Richmond arrives dur ing the next presidential term, it is claimed by the Underwood supporters that nothing can prevent his nomina- fior t

BARNUM AND BAILEY'S GIANT
DIES AFTER MIDGET'S WEDDING
Hugo, Eight Feet Four Inches Tall,
Stricken With Pneumonia

NEW YORK, April 24.--Hugo, the tall
est man In the world" and the giant Of
Barnum & Bailey's Circus, died yesterday
of pneumonia in the Willard Parker Hos
ptal one week after he had been best man
at the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Francis Short, the dimlnutive clown and
snake charmer of the circus. The "tallest
man." whose only name. even to the circus
people, was Hugo, was eight feet four
inches high and normally weighed about
sac pounds. This was his first season
with BRrnum & Bailey's, for whom he
was acquired by their agents in Italy, his
home. He was A years old and had not
been in good health for some time.
1t is said that Hugo was homeslck for
sunny Italy, and his pal" among the
show people was Count Paucci, the small.
est living man, also an italian, with whom
he spent hours when off duty, talking in
their native tongue and playing chess.
He was not the original giant, Hugo. The
original Hugo was his brother, both of
them more than eight feet tall,

ENGLISH ARTSTOCRATS
MAY HAVE TO SELL
MAGNIFICENT ESTATES
Demands of War Too Heavy
Financial Strain to Allow
Proper Maintenance
MAKE FARMS OF THEM

LONDON, April 25.-The aristocratic
owners of England's famous country es.
tates, comprising thousands OF idle acres,
today are selling their holdings because
the war has plnched them financially. This
is believed to mean that the idle land will
be broken into small holdings and that
Engand will become an important agrl-
cultural nation.
These grand country manors castles
and mansions, on immense reserves of
idle land, have been famous for centuries
as deer parks, shooting preserves, lands of
the fox hunt, golf and fishing. Today they
are drug on the market.
The current Issue OF n well-known Brit
ish real estate magazine today carries
10 solid pages OF closely printed adver-
tiscments, asking purchasers or tenants
for more than $4,000 acres of sporting es-
tates and innumerable country seats
throughout England Scotland and Wales
Real estate experts, with an eye on the
future. declare the large estates will in
most cases fail Of sale or lease; that they
must be split into smaller tracts and sold
for agricultural purposes The fox hunt
and the grouse moor will never again be
SO popular as they were before the war,
say the experts.
Here is sample ad of the properties
now on the market:
Historic manor house In the Western
Highlands. Thirty bed and dressing
rooms, several reception rooms. Delight
full matured old grounds. Ten thousand
acres of shooting For sale or moderate
rental"
The ad continues to explain that one
seasons shooting on the game preserves
has been 1000 pheasants. 500 partridges,
$50 hares, 1900 rabbits and many wood
cock, duck and snipe.
Any person in America who has gar
nered wealth making munitions. or other
wise, could lease a real castle on n long
time contract at very moderate terms.
This castle, It's ad. declares, is charm
ingly located on q pretty loch and is sur.
rounded by a vast sporting estate of
$4,000 acres, ii 900 of which consists of
one of the best grouse moors in Scotland.
The best single bag of grouse thus far
has been $50 brace. There also is ex.
cellent salmon fishing and golf links The
ad makes no mention of agriculture.
With hundreds of thousands of men
released from the army after demobiliza-
tion, Britain must find place for them.
Those who have lived in the open air
will not return to desks in stuffy offices
and indoor civilian occupations Of the
past. They will insist on continued open
air, according to those who are now MAX
ing study of tho situation What were
grouse moors and hunting estates of the
pre-war period most probably will be the
agricultural homes in the postwar era
of thousands of men who have carried the
guns.
That England, Scotland and Wales will
be much nearer the soil long before the
next five years is over is the firm and
widespread conviction in England.

LACK OF CASH HAMPERS

WASHINGTON, April 24.--In approxi-
rIately $50 cities and towns OF the United
states the public school authorities, CO.
tpefating with the Bureau OF Naturaliza-
ton OF the UnitedStates Department OF
Labor, have established evening schools
FOR the foreign-born, Several munlcipall-
ties. with a keen realization Of the educa-
tiohai deficiencies Of the aliens and appre-
ciatinR the advantages to be derived
through their knowledge OF English, have
extended the period Of instruction TO the
end of the scholastic year In other cities
the authorities have sgnified their inten-
tion Of maintaining the public schools as
long as there is any evidence OF need
According to reports received by the
Bureau of Naturalization, the public
school authorities of large majority Of
the cities and towns which have engaged
IN this stupendous campaign for citizen
ship preparedness have discontinued, or
are about to discontinue, their classes.
Various causes are assigned, but the main
difficulty appears to be lack of funds
compensation OF teachers. To combat
tvs condition, patriotic public school
teachers and representatives Of the prin-
cipai organizations in many places have
volunteered their services to continue this
work until such time as proper appro-
priations may be made.
In all Of the cities and towns now CO.
operating with the bureau, the intention
Il TO reopen the night schools at the be-
ginning OF the autumn term. In other
smaller places the authorities have deter
mined to open night schools at the be-
ginning of the next scholastic year. There
is contemplated In various cities plan
whereby the summer classes, which have
hitherto run from July 1 to August 81.
may open May 1 and continue until Sep
tember 80.
Great results have already been accom-
piished and greater are expected The
Bureau of Naturalization since the 1st
of last october has sent the names OF
more than $4,000 candidates for citizen-
ship and their wives to the public school
authorities of the country.

Doctor Fisher has made discoveries in
Egypt which have startled the archeolog-
lists Of the world. Last year he uncov-
cred a temple at Memphis. called the
Temple of Meremttah, in which II is be-
lleved Moses used TO walk when he was in

has returned there. He expects to con-

at Dendereh was n necklace with carmel

had been reputed to have conquered the
world, but there were no records of him.
The Egyptians told Herodotus of this
Pharoah.
Records show that he or a king who
is identified as Sesostrls under a different
name. did conquer Palestine and much of
Mesopotamla, but he was not an Alex
ander the Great. These beads, which
were found around the neck of the woman,
may have belong to daughter Of a
Pharoah or to one of his favorlte wives.
