LODGE MEETING WAS RESUMED.
After Break Of Over Half Century,
Caused by Lincoln Assassination.

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. l6.--In examining
the records of Hiram Masonic lodge, No
40, of this city, it was recently found
that the regular meeting OF the lodge
that was begun on the night of April
IL, ls65-the night news was received
that Lincoln was shot-had never been
officially concluded, and last night this
formally was carried out with historic
ceremonies.
John Nichols, SO years old, former
representative in Congress, who, as mas
ter, opened the memorable session of the
lodge more than half century ago,
acted as master again last night. Ma
sons were present from many southern
states, since last nights ceremony was
preliminary to the opening here to-day
of the 18th annual meeting OF the grand
lodge of North Carolina.
On the night of April It, 1865, the
city of Raleigh was occupied by kilpat-
rick's division of Sherman's army. When
the union soldiers on the outskirts of the
city learned of the assassination OF Lin
coin, retaliatory measures were suggest
ed and the officers had difficulty in hold
ing the men in check. While the civil
population of Raleigh was unaware of
the assassination and of the excitement
of it Captain w. c. Written, of the 9th
Maine regiment, detailed as provost OIL
GER, informed Master Nichols of the as
sassination and requested that the meet
ing be dismissed in order that no gath

The news became generally known. The
members dispersed Immediately without

LIME-SULPHUR ANIMAL DIPS.
Convenient Formula for Preparing Solu
tion Suggested by Specialist.

| A convenient formula for preparing
| lime sulphur animal dips, termed the s.
/ 1910 formula, is suggested as a result
of extensive experiments, in professional
paper No. 45l, the chemical composition
OF lime-sulphur animal dips. recently
published by the Y. s. department of
agriculture. The experimental work was
undertaken with the object OF improving
existing formulas SO as to simplify the
preparation and, if possible, lessen the
cost of these dips, To accomplish these
purposes the author recommends--but
solely for use as an animal dip--the g.
1910 formula; that is eight pounds of
high grade commercial quicklime; eigh-
teen pounds fine sulphur leither flowers
or flour, with somewhat more than ten
gallons of water, boiled to volume OF
ten gallons at the finish. The time OF
actual boiling should be one hour. The
theoretical ratio between lime and sui
phur will be met by this formula if the
lime is 9s.3 per cent pure; therefore the
formula as given is appropriate for pre-
pairing solution for dipping sheep where
any chance of an excess of lime must be
avoided. If commercial hydrated mot
air -slackened) lime is used the. amount
should be increased nearly one third, say
to l05 pounds. For dipping cattle the
formula may be used on the basis of
available calcium oxid if the analysis of
the lime is known, or if not known the
lime may safely be raised to SIS pounds,
corresponding to 92.5 per cent available
calcium oxid, possibly even to nine
pounds.
The finished solution, drawn off from
the sediment, should theoretically con
tain Is per cent tgrams per 100 c. e. of
sulphid sulphur, but probably will con-
tain somewhat less. 1t is, therefore, APP
for dipping sheep at a dilution
of ono volume of concentrate to nine or
ten volumes of water, and for cattle at
a dilution of one volume of concentrate
10 seven or eight volumes OF water. But
in any event, since baths lose strength
turing dipping, it is very desirable TO
<eep them at all times under control by |
means of "field-te
It is pointed ont that this formula does !
rot necessarily apply to the making of
highly concentrated proprietary solu-
ions.

ARE WANTED
Secretary. Daniels Plans to
Run Them with Vary
ing Force

Washington, Jan. l6.z-Secretary OF TIN
Navy Daniels and other officials OF tn
navy department appeared yesterday be
fore the House naval affairs COMMITTEES
and strongly urged a favorable report OF
the departments request for specia
appropriation of $l2,000,000 with which
to equipfthe government navy yards t.
handle the construction of warships OF
all types.
Where private contractors We're willing
to do the work on a reasonable basis, he
said, the government yards would be OPP.
Grated only on singleshift eight -hour
basis. Where private bidders quoted
higher prices than the government would
have to pay, at its own yards, he said
the government yards would be worked
on a double shift. Where, however, the
private bidders quoted exorbitant prices,
Mr.. Daniels commended, the government
should be in position to do all the work,
operating its yards "a hours a day.
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bu-
reau of construction and repair, said that
the department and representatives Of
private shipbuilders had informally
agreed to build battle cruisers in the
private yards on basis of cost plus 80
per cent for profit and overhead charges.
After that, he said, the representatives
OF the private yards boosted the percent
age to 80 per cent. This increase of 5
per cent Admiral Taylor said was respon-
sible for the decision of the department
to recommend equipping the navy yards
to build the battle cruisers.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt testified
that the Newport News Shipbuilding Co.
basis of 32 per cent over cost, but when
the Fore River company insisted on 35
per cent, it raised its offer to 50 per
cent.
ssDo you think that was collision ?"
was asked by Representative Roberts of
Massachusetts.
mo" said Mr.. Roosevelt, "but it was
apparent why the change was made"
eve can draw our own conclusions as
to whether it was COLLISION" said Rep
resentative Buchanan of Illinois.
Mr.. Roosevelt told of sending tele-
grams to all bidders on ships and mate
rails entering into them asking for vol
untary reductions in their prices.
''0nly one company said the assist
ant secretary, made use of that tele-
gram. The Bethlehem Steel company,
for self advertising purposes, made that
public, announcing its decision to lower
its price 10 per cent as patriotic serv-
ice to the United States"
Mr. Roosevelt testified that as the re.
suit of his negotiations the Newport
News company has agreed to build one
battle cruiser for a profit of s4,500,000, |
whereas the Fore River company has in
sisted on profit of $5,000,000
He has terminated negotiations with |
the Fore River concern. Cramps, he said, |
has offered to build battle cruiser for |
profit of S4,750,000.
The cost of the battle cruisers, exclu- |
sive of armament, will be more than sl9,- |
100000 each and completed will cost $685. |

WOUNDED OF FRANCE
TO Be TREATED HERE
Plan Formulated to Lessen Con-
gestion In Hospitals Abroad.
Preparations Under Way.

Washington.-It was reported that
French sick and wounded would be
brought to the United States to lessen
the congestion In French hospitals.
Quarantine stations in all parts of the
United States are being rapidly put
into condition to handle these patients.
The big problem to the health service
of the country, it was said, was to
prevent the introduction of contagious
diseases from abroad.
The war in Europe is called by gov
eminent medical experts here the melt
ing pot of diseases. War, it was said,
brings an extra strain and danger and
the perils from diseases become more
menacing than in peace time, owing to
the fact that war brings longer hours
of labor, harder work, less food, less
clothing, less warmth and more nerv-
Gus strain.
The public health service is planning
to extend its work in every part of the
country and expects the cooperation
of the people. 1t will seek to prevent
the spread to the country of peculiarly
urban diseases. In this connection it
was remarked that before the civil war
typhoid fever was city disease. The
civil war was characterized by epidem-
les of 1t, and ever since it has been a
rural disease.
Deaths from wounds outnumber
deaths from disease in Europe, the first
time in history that such has been the
case. 1t was pointed out also that new
er has the health of any British troops,
as an example of what modern medical
science has accomplished, been better
than that of the British army. Pau
perism also has disappeared from Eng
land during the present war, and
browning the entire situation for the
medical scientists is the enormous
amount of research work that is being
carried on.

1t reached the edge of the block on
which the Roman Catholic church Is
built In Andale 1t seemed to falter. 1t

garage was torn to bits, but the resi-
dence was not damaged, Beside the
timber sticking into the wall was
pair of pliers, one prong of which had
been driven into the wood
So completely were freight cars on
