PRIZE WINNING
DEXTER CATTLE
f,meus Herd d lais August l. Busch to 10
sfssght 10 Isras.
COTTON PALACE IN WACO PLACE
Never Before Exhibited Anywhere IN
SOuth--Excel World in Fine Quail
ty Of Meat and Rich Milk-bevo
Ponies to Be Shown.

Waco, Texas.--The directors OF the
Cotton Palace are delighted over the
fact that, through the efforts OF G.. II.
Luedde. they have been able to secure
the famous herd of prize winning Dex-
ter cattle, owned by August A. Busch
of st. Louis. These cattle will be one
OF the most interesting exhibits In the
live stock department OF the Cotton
Palace. Thoroughbred Dexters have
never before been exhibited anywhere
in the South. Mr.. Busch has the dis.
tinction Of being the only man in Am.
erica who owns any considerable herd
of these famous animals.
The Dexter Is known as the diminu-
tive Irish cattle that excel the world
in the production Of fine quality OF
meat and rich milk The origin OF the
Dexter Is somewhat obscure. 1t Is
probably member of the celebrated
Kerry family of cattle. as the two
breeds are similar in many respects,
Its small size and proportionateiy
small cost of production, will undoubt'
edly arouse the interest OF Texas cattle
raisers. The smallness OF this breed
of cattle will be realized when It Is
stated that the bulls at maturity never
weigh more than 800 POUNDS, wniie tue
COWS weigh considerably less. The
average height OF these animals is
thirty-six inches. They are stocky and
beefy. being built somewhat on the
bungalow style OF architecture.
In addition to securing his wonder
full cattle for the Cotton Palace. Mr.
r.uedde has also prevailed upon Mr.
Busch TO enter his worldfamous Bevo
ponies. These celebrated ponies are
all OF ono size and color. They are all
an even forty-two inches high. In fact
they are perfect matches In every de
tail. They will be shown In harness
| four-in-hand. sixin-hand and tandem
The increase in the interest in the
| live stock department OF the Cotton
Palace Is one Of the biggest surprises
| OF the year.

WEED STUMBLE PUNCTURES EYE
CAUSING DEATH OF SMALL BOY

Six sudden deaths have occurred In
the city during the month of January
that have required inquests by Cor
oner r. ID. Morrow. verdicts in all
the cases were filed with the county
clerk today.
The C. & o. railroad is entirely ex-
onerated of blame for the death OF
Michael Burnsworth, who, according
to the coroners verdict, stepped di-
rectly in front of an approaching train
in spite of the warning.
AS result of having his left upper
eyelid punctured by weed stubble
while he was playing, David Robinson,
8, died on Jan. II. when meningitis set
in. He is son of William Robinson,
living on the New Paris pike.
Suicide" was the verdict of the
coroner in the death of Theodore
Strayer, who took two ounces OF car
bolic acid while sitting in room with
his wife, Jan. IS, 623 South Sixth
street.
Meningitis was also the cause OF
the death OF Wilbur Sampson, 25, 917
South A street, who died at the Reid
Memorial hospital. Jan. 16.
The cause of the accident which re-
suited in the death of Frank Burrows,
%, was that he lost control of his
motorcycle AS he was riding on the
National road west, he collided with
an automobile driven by Isaac Brooks

WILSON ASKS

ing the doors a large crowd had gath
cred in front of the hall. The crowd
was made up altogether of the better
class of people. They were all we'll
dressed. Women were more than
numerous in the crowd. 1t was de-
scribed in a large measure to the fact
that Mrs. Wilson was along. From
the minute the presidential party ar
rived today Mrs. Wilson was the cen
ter of interest. The lobby of the
Hotel Schenley where the party stop
ped was thronged with members of
the fair sex who wanted to get a
glimpse of the presidents bride.
President Wilson did not show himself
after arriving at the hotel until he
was driven to the hall. Immediately
after finishing his first address the
president was scheduled to speak to an
overflow meeting of 1900 in another
hall in the same building.
When the doors of Memorial hall
we're opened at noon the crowd surged
into the building in a body. The hall
was filled and the doors were closed
before the president arrived.
81 am conscious of a sort of truancy
in being absent from my duties in
Washington" the president said in
opening his address. He added that
the best place for public servant
was with the people he served, how
ever He created Laughter when he
stated that he got more inspiration
outside of Washington than in it.
The subject upon which l come
to address you is one of great magni-
tude and one which requires great
counsel" he said. He declared every
man has a right to express his views
on national events.
Il believe in peace, l love peace.
would not be a true American If l did
not love peace" Councillors on ma
tional defense who are guided by pas
sions do not have his support the pres
ident declared.
The president provoked loud ap-
plause when he asserted America does
not want anything but peace and
friendship, but declared, I'VE must
prepare in order to insure those re-
suits"
Mr.. Wilson declared he is striving
hard to avoid allowing passion to
guide him. He said that was hard to
do, he realized, when the world is
running with red blood"
The president declared there are
some kinds of professional enthusi-
asm that must be guarded against. He
cited the enthusiasm of soldier. He
said he would not want the soldier to
be only counsellor
THE thing we are in love with in
America is efficiency" he said later.
He did not mean efficiency of bust
ness. 1--WE want the spirit of America
to be efficient. We want clear, dis
interested thinking and acting along
the right lines"

RESOLUTIONS

main within the confines Of the school
room no longer than is absolutely
necessary, and we feel that the pres
ent school hours from $3.50 to 1870
a. m. and from rs to $50 p. m. are
fully adequate for the work of the
average child.
child is often worth while. The per-
iod from $3.50 to 4 p. m. devoted to the
individual child will often strengthen
his work sufficiently to enable him to
carry the work of his grade. Like
wise, this period is of inestimable
value for giving help to the child who,
because of illness or enforced absence,
would fall behind his class.
While the principals and kindergar-
ten teachers give to these two classes
of children all the help their limited
time permits, nevertheless. there are
many cases where no one but the
child's teacher realizes his particular
difficulties. The importance of giving
extra time to the slow and backward
children is given further emphasis,
when we recall that in many cities of
high standing there are rooms set
apart especially for these children, in
charge of a superior teacher.
Third-This period from $50 to 4
p. m. is at times indispensable for ad
ministering discipline.
Fourth-On investigation it has
been learned that there are other
cities which have the same school day
as Richmond and some others of high
educational standing among which are
noted Epeyer school the Minneapolis
and Indianapolis schools have short
err school day than Richmond
These resolutions were adopted and
our delegate requested to present them
to the City Federation of Clubs.

.DISAVOWAL NOTE
OF j, s, REACHES
BERLIN OFFICIALS

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 29.-Washing-
ton demands for disavowal of the
sinking of the Lusitania are reported
in dispatch from Berlin to have been
delivered to the German government
on Friday morning and to have been
informally discussed by Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, Foreign Sec
retary Won Jagow, Ambassador Gerard
and Colonel Edward M. House, person
al representative of President Wilson,
at dinner given at the American en-
bassy in Berlin last night.
The dispatch points out that disa-
vowal of the sinking of the Lusitania
would raise the point of whether Ger
many's entire submarine campaign
was illegal and whether in the reckon
ing when peace is made Germany
