OLYMPIA, Feb. 12.-Rep.
Farnsworth, dean of the demo-
cratic side of the house, has fig
ured 1t out that it is costing the
lower house at least 500 an hour
to make speeches and vote.
The 100000 appropriation for
the expenses of the legislature has
dribbled away to almost nothing
today. An additional appropria-
ton of $4,000 is expected soon.
Meanwhile the volume of hot
air increases. The other day the
senate spent the whole morning
arguing the question whether in
mates of state hospitals should be
allowed to do knitting for the Red
Cross.

where Senator Croft from Spo-

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Dispatchs
received here today detailed some
thing of the pressure to which
American Ambassador Gerard was
subjected while awaiting his pass
ports from the imperial German
government
Germany was exceedingly anx-
ious to obtain reaffirmation of the
treaty of 1879, as amended in 1928,
which grants citizens of America
and Germany permission to re-
main nine months in those coun-
tries, following a declaration of
war.
Gerard Stands Firm.
Gerard resisted all efforts to
have him affirm such aprovision,
holding that he no longer had au-
thority from his government. 1t
developed that what the German
government really desired was a
protocol, not only reiterating the
old treaty provisions, but going
further, in that it would specify
citizens in both countries should
be permitted to continue their
business indefinitely, be protected
from seizure and that patents
should not be forfeited.
One provision aimed direct to
protect German ships IN American
harbors, exempted shipping from
seizure, and another was designed
to guard against internment of
citizens by either nation.
Send Near Apologies.
Copenhagen dispatches today in
sisted that when Gerard firmly re-
fused to sign such protocol, Ger
man officials retaliated with a
barely concealed hint that certain
might be held in Ber-
lin, presumably as hostages. At
the same time Gerard was pre-
vented from communicating with
Washington by his code, plain
messages only being permitted to
pass.
With these dispatches today.
came also reports indicating Ger
many's realization that she acted
too quickly in certain moves in
the recent diplomatic game.

REDUCED BREAD
PRICES MAY COME
FIXING OF PRICE FOR WHEAT
EXPECTED TO EFFECT
REDUCTION.

A special sent out from Washing.
ton Friday says:
"a reduction of the price of bread
is in sight today as the result of the
fixing Of 1920 as the price per
bushel of the 1917 wheat crop. The
licensing system for flour and bread
dealers soon will be put into effect
and although not extending to the
small dealer, the food administrator
is expected to find way to hold
down bread prices.
Members of the price fixing
committee are agreed that a price Of
1920 will permit of a fourteen
ounce loaf of bread for five cents,
allowing a fair profit to both the
flour manufacturer and the baker.
"The price of wheat was announc-
ed by President Wilson last night af-
ter the committee, headed by DR..
Harry A. Garfield, completed its
three day deliberations. Represen-
tatives of the producers began by
voting for $3.50 and labor represen-
tatives for $1.S4. The 50 price set
by Congress for the 1918 crop was
taken into consideration by the COM
mittee in fixing fair valuation for
this years harvest.

BIG COTTON CROP
Is PREDICTED
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE INDI-
GATES TOTAL YIELD OF
l2,499,000 BALES.

The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture on last Friday forecasted
the cotton crop at 12,499, 900 equiva-
lent 500 pound bales in the revised
estimate based on the condition of
the crop august rs, which is reported
as 67,8 per cent Of normal cond-
ion by states as follows:

pi, rs; Louisiana, rs; Texas, 70;
Tennessee, 80; Missouri, SO; Okla

The forecast today compares with
11,949,000 bales as estimated from
the condition of the crop July 25
and 11,633,000 bales, as estimated
from the condition on June 25. Last
years crop was IL, ,449, 800 bales, two

DICKINSON HAS
THOMPSON OUSTED
CHICAGO'S MAYOR DROPPED
FROM ADVISORY BOARD OF
SECURITY LEAGUE.

Through the instrumentality of
Hon. j. M. Dickinson, honorary pres.
ident of the National Security
League, William Hale Thompson.
mayor of Chicago, has been dropped
from, the roster Of the general COM
mittee of that organization. The OBJ
ject of the league is to promote
Americanism in the United States,
and it is charged that the actions and
utterances of Mayor Thompson indi-
cate that he is decidedly pro-German
in his sympathies.
Judge Dickinson is native of Co
lumbus, and citizens of this city are
exceedingly proud of the prominent
position which he has attained both
as a statesman and patriot. He was
for many years general consel for
the Illinois Central Railroad, and
served as secretary of war under
President Taft. Since his retirement
from the cabinet he has been almost
continuously before the public, hav-
ing represented the government in
the prosecution Of many important
cases.
While it has been many years
since Judge Dickinson has resided in
Columbus, he still retains his fond
ness for the city and is ever ready to
Give practical demonstration of the
high esteem in which he holds its
people. 1t was through his influence
that former President Taft was
induced to visit Columbus in 1909,
and another indication of his love for
the city of his nativity is found in the
fact that he still retains his member
ihip in the local Confederate Veter-
ans Camp.
