EX-SENATOR BAILEY
 REPRESENT WITNESS
Before Propaganda Committee, Where Proceedings Reverts to Brewery Activities in Texas.

Washington, Jan. 16-German propaganda was put aside today by the senate Investigating committee to turn attention again to the acti- vities of brewing interests.
 A. J. Arnold, of Fos't Worth, Tex. said the Texas branch of the Ma tional Farmers Union received s2s.- 900 from 1914 to 1916 from P"bel : connected with the Texas Brewers association and between $10.0o) ard $15,O00 from Edward Landsbafs of Chicago. Arnold said money a.i- vanced by Autrey was spent lar: C. ly for "plate" matter sent ca ;o newspapers.
 Former Senator Bailey of ToNas. counsel for Arnold, objected to the efforts of Major E. Lowry HuTns. for the committee, to obtain full list of the contributors to che or -ganization, saying Arnold would be willing to give the names of the Growers hainvg contributed.
 The committee ruled that Arnold could answer questions touching on contributions by corporations and Mr.. Bailey made no objection. The witness said that among railroads contributing to a publicity fund of between S40000 and S50,0O0 were the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Texas and Illinois Central.
 E. P. Swenson of New York pri- vate banker, Arnold said. paid atout $50.000 for the preparation of plate matter and, about S2,O00 toward the expenses of the union because of fi- nancial interests ini iTexas in agri- cultural lands.
 The organization also received contributions for publicity against the Adamson eight hour law, Arnold testified, from farmers who opposed passage of the act because of the ef- feet it would have on shipping costs
 When asked to produce check books showing expenditures of the organization, the witness replied that the stubs. had been destroyed and other documents turned over to the attorney general of Texas and to a federal grand jury in Texas
 Arnold said he did not know pos itively that Landsherg and Autrey were identified with tie htewers but that he suspected their connec- tion with that industry. The union would accept contributions from any one he said. to oppose all legis- lation that would increase expens- es to farmers.
 The witness later recalled that Mir. Faust of the Anheuser Busch Brew ing company of St. Louis contributed about one thousand dollars to the union. Replying to Major Humes he said he could recall any contribu- ton. by the Pabst Brewing interests.

 Important Provision.
 One of the most important provls- ions of the bill. General March said, was that giving reserve corps officers rank including that of Colonel in- stead of Major, as now provided.
 "There ought not to be such ham, pering in rank of men coming from civil life," he said.
 Another condition which must be remedied, the General said was that limiting permanent commissions from |civil life to the grade of second lieu tenant. If that is to- be continued, he said, "the men, who fought the war;" would be lost for those who had proved themselves in action would not consent to enter the regular service in that grade.
 The. bill provides for absolute pro- motion by selection of all officers of rank of Captain or higher. By the time an officer becomes a Captain, General March said, his ability is a known quantity.
 The three year enlistment was plOpOoCo CO ICOuCC CllC JUL around" of men to keep the ranks full, General March said. It meant re- cruitment of 160,000 men year, which he believed could be accom- { plished.
 Don't you think it would be wise to include as a permanent provision of law?" asked representative McKen- zie, the statement that in time of war we would raise our armies by conscription?" u.
 "That's where the administration steps in," said General March. You recall that MT. Lloyd George, f.The British premier), has said he was not in favor of conscription anywhere at any time in future. We don't know what the peace conference is going to bring us."
 General March said the National Guard was at present "out of exist ence," and added that until the men who really compose the old guard and are now in France have come home hot even the Governors nor Adjutant Generals of the state can forecast it's future. The General said it would be manifestly unfair to organize a new force which excluded the men over- seas and that no appropriation for the guard had been proposed.
 MT. Baker assured the committee that the war department would CO., operate to the fullest extent with any states which raised National Guard unts within the meaning of Federal Laws. The equipment and arms for these forces would be made available,

EMBEDDING BEST FOR /
 OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS


 Paris, Jan. 16.-(By The Associated Press. )-The draft of the League of Nations in the form of treaty enact ment has now proceeded much fur ther than generally supposed as re- suit of recent conferences between Lord Robert Cecil, Secretary Lansing and Colonel House, at which the best features of the various projects were embodied in concrete form of enact- ment. This is called covenant, in-- stead of a treaty, and embraces 13 articles and eight supplementary pro- visions which bring together the main features of all the psans presented.
 The covenant, while subjected to much revision, probably will be ready for the congress or committee when ever the subject is considered,

CLING TO BELIEFS
Few People Today Are Without
Pet Superstiti0nS.
Although Not Carried to Extremes
That Have MARRIED the Pages Of
History in the Past, They
Are Still With U.s.

We constantly hear it said that this
Is the twentieth century; superstition
and all that sort of thing died out long
ago. Yet there Is hardly a person in
the country without his pet belief
that misfortune follows STOPPING over
a baby or splitting salt, or that a black
cat brings good luck, for example.
Hence, too, the universal practice of
wearing maseots "for luck"
These, however, are not very seri-
GUS beliefs, being merely personal fads.
Superstition of a deeper rooted and
more unpleasant type Is still common
In the more backward rural areas,
however. Only a few weeks ago an
old dame in the Fen country was boy
cotted by the whole countryside be-
cause she had the reputation Of being
a witch and of throwing spells over
peoples children, stock and crops. No
one would go near her or let her ave
food or clothing, and she nearly
starved to death.
The cold, legal atmosphere OF the
courts would be thought unfavorable
TO belief In witchcraft, and yet a farm
er-by no means an ignorant man
stood up the other day In Norfolk
court and informed the bench that
someone had bewitched lis cows. He
cured the evil spell by thrusting q
hot poker into his churn, when the
evil spirit vanished In a bright fame.
Years ago any old crone who was
cross grained with the n~elghbors stood
q good chance of being tried (and
burnt) for witchcraft, and cases are
even known where animals were sol
EMMY brought into court and tried on
a similar charge.
A tough old cock ut Basic. In Switz-
erland, was accused of laying eggs
a most serious ~offenSe, as such eggs
we're used only for making witches

before the Justices, and one OF the
eggs produced as proof Of guilt. In
the face of such evidence the ROSTERS

and he and his miraculous eggs SOL

A SOW and six young pigs were &C
cused OF witchcraft towards q child,
