house today by Chairman Johnson,
Republican, Washington, who declar-
ed the Dill was so drawn as to force
the department of labor to act against
alien agitators.
Secretary Wilson has held, Mr..
johnson said, that mere membership
in the I. W. W. Or kindred crganiza-
tions was not sufficient under the law
to warrant deportation. The commit
tees bill, he added, made the letter
and intent Of the law plain and ul-
mistakable" as uEGer it affiliation OF
any financial connection with organ
izations teaching. radical doctrines
without the commission Of any overt
act, meant deportation.
At the same time the house judici-
ary committee began work on the Va
rious proposals aimed at suppression
of radical activities generally, TO reaclI
citizens as we'll as aliens. Represen-
tatives Blanton, Democrat, Texas, de-
clared the department Of labor was
"honeycombed with the spirit OF an
archism" from Secretary Wilson down;
and Representative Davey, Democrat
Ohio. warned the committee that the
public would take matters into is

BOY MURDERED
IN LEXINGTON
Twelve Year Old Lad is Shot to
Death

Peak, Dec. 16.-On Friday, De-.
cen,ber 12, this community was shock
ed By a. terrible tragedy when the
young y year old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. ". II. Suber Of Peak was found
dead in the woods with a shot guaa
wound in the head. Exactly how the
young boy met his death is not known
He left home in the afternoon on
horse back with his fathers shotgun:
to so hunting. Not very long after
he left, the horse he was riding came
home. Nothing at first was thought
of this as it was expected that the
boy would return in a short while.
Near night the family becoming
alarmed over his absence, searching
parties were formed and near p. M.
his body was found in a patch Of
woods.
At the inqIest which was held Mon
day it developed that his body was in.
patch OF woods about 200 yards
from the main road, stretched out on
h.s back with head up the hill. The
wound was done with a shotgun, en-
tering back of the head behind the
r;gh: ear perforating the skull, rang
ing downward and to the left making
it's entrance through left lower jaw.
No marks of violence was found on
body. The cap which he wore at
the time was still on his head, showed
no powder burns. An empty gun shell
was found near the body also-gun
wad Eis l,crse had been hitched
a5aus 10 steps from where he was
and nearer 1he road The chain
Nficf the horse was hitched with was
rot found. No trace of the gun with
w..:icl1 ne left home has been found
although repeatedly search has been
made. The jury did not return a ver-
dict, the case being continued for fur
ther investigation, although a young
negro boy was placed in jail on the
c..;s;..nec of his y year old brother
who testified that his brother told
him that he had killed Harold Slber
and hid the gun. The boy arrested
denies any knowledge of the affair.
Sheriff Miller is still at work on the
case and it is hoped the mystery sur
rounding the young boys death viii
soon be cleared up.

Purebred Pay in Poultry.

That the value Of purebred males
counts as much in poultry raising as
in stock raising is shown by the rec
ords of three aocks &c Leghorns, the
data for which have ~en supplied
the United States Department OF AG-
r;ca,ture by the North Carolina E8-
pertinent Station. Flock /, the egg
production Of which IS included in
these records, consisted Of common
hens; focis was produced by breed
ing these hens 20 common males;
flock was produced by breeding
flock 1 TO a rooster from high
producing hen. The following year
the original flock laid SO eggs a hen:
flock laid an average OF SS eggs q
hen; and flock laid an average Of
736 eggs hen. This increase Of 50
per cent in one year tells very spcci-
fically the benefits Of using pure
bred male. But the percentages alone
do not tell the whole story, for big
proportion Of the increase came at a
season-May and June-wl1en the
production OF focks 1 and 2 was rela-
lively low and the prices were good.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first steam ferry line was es- tablished 106 years ago tomorrow. this pioneer craft plying between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The ferry made its first trip on the East River on May 10, 1913. Great crowds lined the shores and there was almost a riot among those who sought to take pass age on the novel craft. The first steamboat, the Charlotte Dundas. was built in England in 1902 by William Symmington, but her trials were not successful. and it remained for Rob- ert Fulton, an American, to construct the first commercially practicable steamship.

New York. May 9-Mrs. Regina Corrigan, the young wife of Frederick Cerrigan,a wealthy Pittsburgh broker took three kinds of poison in her home on Sunnybrool1 Road, Lawrence Park, Yonlers. early yesterday, and as she awaited death calmly wrote her will. A little more than two hours later she was dead.
 Mir. and Mrs. CorriEan had attend ed & theatre in New York and motor ed back to their home, arriving there at 1:30. The husband sat on a sun porch and the young woman went to her bedroom where she disrobed. A few moments later she called Cath erlne Collins, who had been her maid for several years, and Beatrice Gaua- gher. another servant.
 "Catherine and Beatrice" she said, "I have just taken three kinds of poison - stryChnine, atrophine and morphine. I want you, Catherine to fbring me some paper so I can write my will; and you, Beatrice, call up Dr. John W. Smith. in BronXville, and tell him what I have done"
 Beatrice rushed to a telephone, Catherine remained at her mistress's side. Not until Mrs Corrigan had re- peated several times that she had taken the poison would the maid be- Ileve her. Again the mistress insisted on having paper for her will, and the girl brought a. pad with a pen and ink.
 Then the young woman raised her, self up in bed and began to write When she had finished she asked the two servants to witness her signature This they did. She dropped the will on the floor and calmly rested her head on the pillows.
 Half an hour IatN~ Dr. Smith ar rived. Mrs CorrigaN was still con- scious. She told him what she had done and he hurriedly called Dr Harry H. Stevens of Scarsdale road They worked over the woman until after S30, but she died.

century the people of the United States were startled by a young girl of Albemarle county, Virginia, who had developed remarkable gifts of clairvoyancy. As a child this gift at tracted attention when the guessing games of her fellow pupils were set at naught by her. This gift developed as she matured, and needed no effort on her part to manifest itself. Her fame soon spread through the coun- try. It is greatly to her credit that she never accepted any fees for per forming her feats of clairvoyancy As a matter of fact, she raised vege- tables and poultry to make a living She died early in 1898, st the age o. 99.
