SENATORS QUIZ BAKER AGAIN
Secretary Declares That More Troops
Than Expected Have Been
Sent to France.

Washington, Feb. Under heavy
bombardment of questions from his
congressional critics, Secretary of War
Baker on the stand before the senate
military affairs committee stood I'M
yieldingly upon his previous assertion
that Americas war machine had not
broken down.
He declared that American troops IN
France on January 1 were consider
ably ahead of schedule, and he de-
clined to revise his previous prediction
that America would have half mil
lion men in France "early in 1918"
Mr.. Baker declined TO answer some
questions in public, because, he said,
it would furnish information to Ger
many. He offered to give answers in
private.
"COme out into the next room and
I'll tell you." he said when Senator
Hitchcock wanted to know about the
availability of shipping for transport
supply service.
Much wrangling took place through
out the hearing. Administration SEN
atOrs were on the alert to protect Mr..
Baker and frequently tried to force
the committee in secret session. AS
matter of fact, the committee had ex-
tracted very little new information
from the secretary when it recessed.

SHOT DEER FOR BREAKFAST
OIG-Timer Missourian Writes OF Pc
riod When Game Was Plentiful
Where Now Cities Stand.

Samuel Cole, who came to central
Missouri a boy, told these hunting
stories:
"When I was about twelve years old
/ started one morning TO hunt TOT
game. My brothers had an old nint-
lock rifle, which l carried with me. IL
was large and heavy gun. and was
so heavy that / could not shoot IL
without using a rest. | came up the
river, keeping near the bank, until
got to where the courthouse now
stands in Boonville. Under the trees,
which then covered the ground IN the
courthouse yard, saw five deer stand
ing together. 1 selected one OF the
finest looking ones and fired. At the
crack of my gun he fell; but when L
went up to where he was, he jumped
to his feet. and would have followed
the other deer towards the river, had l
not rushed up and, caught hold OF hlm'
putting my arms under his neck. he
paved me with his sharp hoofs ana
horned me-his hoofs making an ugly
cash in my thigh and his horns strlk-
ing me on the forehead. The marks or
both hoofs and horns | carry with me
today. I held the deer until my dog
came up. I then loaded the gun ana
shot him again, this time killing MIN.
This was the first deer / ever killed,
and although it was a dangerous I'M
dertaking, the experience only spurred
me on to gather trophies Of similar
character.
ST killed five bears just below the
town-where Boonville now stands
and killed twenty-five bears IN
three days. / killed four elk
in less than one hour. There were
few buffaloes in the country
when I came, but these were
soon killed or driven further west
ward. I never killed a buffalo, but
caught FIVE calves Of small herd near
Pettis county line. I have seen as
many as thirty deer at one sight at
Prairie Lick. One day I went out upon
the prairie. in the spring of the year,
and saw about twenty deer-all lying
down except one; this one was SEN
tinel for the herd. I approached with
in three hundred yards Of them and
then took my handkerchief, which
was large red bandana, and fastened
it to stick, and shook it a little
above my head. when they all sprang
to their feet and came toward me. A
deer has much curiosity, and they were
determined to find out, if they could,
what the red handkerchief meant.
When one of the largest Of the number
came within gunshot distance L shot
and killed it, / often repeated the
handkerchief ruse with great success.
I have killed and carried to the house
three deer before breakfast. From

Ago." by Walter B. Stevens.

the Germans were unable to occupy

Improvements Made by Gov

Washington, Feb. 8. - Chairman
Smith OF the senate interstate COM
merce committee in reporting favor
ably to the senate the administration
railroad bill, estimated that under the
measures provisions the government
will guarantee annually to the rail-
roads $945,OOO,C00, which will represent
a return of 5.32 per cent. This, he
says, reflects neither poverty nor
riches but the committee believes d
majority of the railroads will accept
these terms as just and fair meas
ure of their constitutional rights"
Minority reports are to be submitted
by Senators Cummins and La Toilette
Administration leaders plan to call up
the bill for consideration next Mon
day.
Your committee is of the opinion
that this is the time for war emer-
gency legislation, and not the time to
settle controversial questions concern
ing our future transportation policy"
Chairman Smith said in prefacing his
report. He then took up the compen-
satiOn section, and added:

the act of October 3, 1917, are to be
paid by the companies out of their own

ers Of railroad securities are to bear
their own just portion of the war bur-
den."
Improvements to Stand.
The committee recommends, the re-
port says, that improvements made by
the government while the carriers are
under government control should go to
the railroads when they are returned
to the security holders.
This should be arranged through an
agreement between the carriers and
the president.
Discussing the provision inserted by
the committee, providing for the
termination Of government control Is
months after the war, the report says ::
May Return Roads Before July.
There is also q provision to the eff
feet that the president may, prior to
July 1 next, relinQuish control of such
transportation systems as he may
deem not needful or desirable, and
may, thereafter on agreement, relin-
quish all or any part of any system of
transportation"
The section also contains a general
provision that the president may re-
linQuish all railroads at any time when
he shall deem such action needful or
desirable.
