district. The first district includes
the second and fourth wards Of Ard

It also includes Springer. Berwyn,
Baum, Provence, Mulkey and Hoxbar.
It is an important district. It is rep.
resented at the present time by G..
W. Young of Berwyn, and was repre-.
scented by Robert F. Scivally wnen
the county was organized. 1t would
be a worthy ambition upon the part
of any citizen of the county to aspire
to represent the people Of that dis
trict.
Mr.. O'Brien has resided in Carter
county since the memory Of man rum
meth not to the contrary. He is a
man well worthy to represent the dis
trict, he is ambitious to see Carter
county 80 forward, and will devote
much OF his time to the work of the
board in case of his election. Mr..
O'Brieu will make an active campaign.

promises to be in that district a most
interesting campaign.

HOT W0RDSARE
PASSED OVER
WAR CLAIMS
TO MANN OF ILLINOIS IN A
VERY PLAIN MANNER - SAYS
ATTACK WAS SLANOEROuS.

Washington, March AFTER a ser
les of hot exchanges among a half
dozen representatives over principles
involved in reimbursement of citi-
Zens of the southern states for prop
erty seized by the union troops during
the civil war, the house has passed
bill to restore the right of the
court of claims to consider claims Of
such reimbursements aggregating
100000. An amendment adopted
would require claimants to show
proof of loyalty in the union.
Representative Hehin of Alabama
and Clark of Florida resented state
ments by Representatives Mann of
Illinois, the republican leader, and
Stafford of Wisconsin, claiming they
were attempting to raise sectional
prejudice over the bill. Representa-
tive Mann's assertion that I'VE do not
owe one cent to the men who endeav-
ored to destroy the government"
raised the ire OF Mr.. HELM, who
shouted that nobody but a coward
and a vulgarian would use that Ian
guage here"
Representative Stafford said the bill
was seeking to make the entering
wedge to pay claims of those who
were disloyal and that is the only
purpose of the bill
1T had been hoped" replied Rep
resentative Clark, that no attempt
to raise sectional prejudice would ever
again be made upon this floor. 1t
has remained for the gentleman from
Wisconsin, when brotherly love is the
controlling spirit throughout the ma
ton, to dive into this cesspool and
attempt again to create sectional feel
ing upon the floor of this house.

True to American Flag.

Owe are American citizens, as true
to the flag and as loyal to this coun-
try as he or any of the people whom
he represents. When the nation was
in trouble few years ago and the
loyal men of the north went to the
defense of the flag, a southerner
marched to the martial music of our
country alongside every northern sol
dier. And if unhappily we should
have trouble now, | apprehend that
defense of the flag will come more
from our section than from that part
whore the hyphenated citizen dwells
and controls. The gentleman says
it is loot to demand payment of an
honest debt. The government took
the property. They sold it and put
the proceeds into the treasury and
kept the money as a trust fund for
years Ever since the forty-ninth con-
gress these claimants have been ask
ing not a payment, but the poor priyi-
lege of going into a federal court and
letting the judges say whether these
claimants ought to be paid"
Minority Leader Mann replied that
it was not the republican side that
injected sectionalism, but the demo-
cratic war claims committee. which
reported the bill to the house. Always.
he said, it has been thought proper
to insert proof of loyalty before a
civil war claim should be allowed.
IF" he said, I'VE have to throw
out the question of loyalty to appease
our democratic friends, the time may
come, do not know when, we may
be willing to purchase their good
will in that way. | had supposed
that the men of the south were just
as loyal as we. | believe they are.
We have paid all the people that we
honestly owe. We do not owe one
cent to the men who endeavored to
destroy the government. Men took
their chances in the war. | do not
think it is necessary to bug the south
by making appropriations which we
would not make anywhere else

which showed a reduced profit of $346S
The receipts from football jumped 81, 900
as compared with the previous year, an
increase due principally to the opening
of the Yale bowl.
Cash on hand at the close of the nscal
year amounted to s34.1S0 as compared with
$4,000 the previous year. Treasurer Moore
explained the decrease as principally due
to the fact that a final payment was made
on the athletic association lean on the
stadium.
The lack of great indoor field, a
swimming tank and a skating rink are
handicaps in the winter months, according
to the report. The treasurer suggested
building rink in Cambridge as worthy
of serious consideration.

prisoner of war. has sent word to off,
Gals here that he can give testimony of
value in prosecuting neutrality cases and
is willing to do so if permitted to come
to the United States in custody as was
Herst Won Der Goltz, who arrived in
New York Yesterday
Rintelen's offer will be considered but
it is generally understood British authorf-

his cross to this country.
There is some speculation here as to
how the Scotland Yard men who brought
Won Der Goltz to New York will regain
custody of the prisoner after his testi-
mony in connection with neutrality cases
is finished. The British officers told New
York authorities they were giving up Won
Der Holtz under an agreement that he
would be returned to their keeping later.
Officials of the state and justice depart

today they had heard of no such agree
ment. and at the justice department DOUBT
