UNCLE SAM
WILL AUCTION
OFF, LIVESTOCK
CAMP CUSTER STABLES HAVE
MORE THAN 500 FINE ANIMALS
TO GO AT AUCTION.

The United States government,
through the Remount division, will
hold an auction at the Camp Custer
stables, commencing on Tuesday, Jan.
IA and continuing until all these
horses and mules are sold, aproxi-
mately 564 head of the animals. In
cluded in the list are 100 cavalry
horses, It's artillery horses, 254 draft
mules and 35 pack mules. The ami
mails will be sold to the highest bidder.
These animals are being sold be-
cause the government has no further
use for them and not because they
are worn out. A great number of
excellent animals will be found among
this let and doubtless they can be
purchased at a very reasonable figure.
Each one of the animals passed the
regular government inspection when
they were purchased and since then
have had very Ettle service and they
have all been at Camp Clusters stables
since the government first secured
them, receiving of course the very best
of care. A good halter will be
thrown in with each sale and the
terms are either cash, a certified
check or bank draft.
The selling agents think that it is
the PATRIOTIC duty of each citizen
who can to buy horse or a mule and
if you feel that you would like to in
vest in some of these animals ar
range to be at Custer on Tuesday,
Jan. ID.
"Buy a mule or horse and give it
to a discharged soldier is a slogan
which the army selling agents have
adopted for this sale.

PRESIDENTS SPEECH
RELAYED BY WIRES

RENO, New, Sept. 23.-The city's
lack OF an auditorium sufficiently
large to accommodate the crowds
seeking to hear President Wilson, led
last night to an ingenius arrange
ment by which the President ad-
dressed four different audiences. The
same speech delivered once, served all
four audiences.
The Presidents talk was given in
a small theater. Science. however,
with some help from Reno's mechani-
cal geniuses, enabled Wilson's voice
to travel over telephone wires to
three other theaters In the city.
Through a megaphohic device, the
overflow heard the President.
Some one called for Mrs. Wilson
yesterday, when a large crowd greet
ed the Presidential party. Here Is

FEAR JOHNSON WILL
! BE ANOTHER TEDDY
old Guard Republicans
Afraid His Tour Will Boom
Him for Presidency.

The reported success Of Hiram
Johnson's speaking tour in the Mid
die West has stirred the Senate. Old
Guard leaders fear Senator Johnson
viii win over enough dissatisfied
people to make him a formidable
candidate for the Republican nomin-
alton for the Presidency.
Conservative Republicans who crit
icise the senate leaders for encouF-
aging the Johnson-BoTah tralilns
trip, even fear that Mr.. Johnson may
turn out, to be another Rooseyeit on
their hands. This question was dis
rUsse5 in the cloak rooms Of the SEN
ate today. 1t is believed that VIII
ri Hays. chairman OF the Republican
Natinal Committee, came here last
week to give his views on that mat
ter. He Is, now at least, opposed 70
nominating Senator Johnson.
Senator Penrose returned 70 the
Senate Yesterday after a long ab-
sence. II is understood that he views
with alarm the growing popularity Of
Johnson with certain extreme ele-
ments. and Il believed that from now
-on the Pennsylvania boss VIII keep
his hand on the Senate trottle.
About the time yesterday that The
Republicans f1I the House and Senate
were gloomily meditating the pOssi-
biIities OF too much Johnson, Gov
ernOr Frank O. Lowden, Of Illinois,
appeared on the scene and got a
great ovation.
Senator johnson is expected today
70 take personal charge OF the fight
for his treaty amendment. Senator
Lodge, in charge OF the treaty, said he
you'd defer to Johnson's wishes con-
cerning the calling cup Of the
amendment, which has been tenn
porarily passed over by the Senate.
II Johnson wishes to begin the de-
bate Immediately that viii be done,
Lodge said. and II he does not, means
will be found to prevent it. That the
latter course viii not be so difficult
as ii would have appeared last week
was evidenced by the attitude Of
treaty supporters, who, having ap-
parently changed front, are today
talking Of waiting until President
Wilson returns to Washington a. week
from today, before they try to force
a vote. Just what reason prompts
them to wait the Administration
leaders were not ready to say.

SITUATION QUIET IN
CALUMET DISTRICT

GARY. Ind, Sept. 23.-With proba-
bly, 1900 steel workers ia the Calu-
met district out, the second day OF
the steel strike here finds the situa-
tion UNCHANGED. The only move to-
ward Cancellation was made BY the
Hubbard Steel Company, Of East Chi
cage, which asked the men for con-
ference. Strikers refused this.
Pickets around the Gary plant OF
the Illinois steel Company the largest
in the district, were virtually inactive
today. During changes Of Shifts
O'Clock last night and 6-O'clock 6 this
morning. but a few score Of workers
left the closely guarded gates. AS
company officials yesterday claimed
they had 5000 loyal" employees, union
men declared the fact that no one left
the gates proved reports Of huge
stores Of food and beds, 50 that the
workers will remain constantly inside
the walled and guarded plant.
Ohicials OF the American Sheet and
Tin Plate Company opened announced
they had sufficient food and bed cloth
ing 70 keep men at the plant. II the
situation becomes critical.
Union men merely pointed to the
North star last night in answer to
claims~of the officials Of the Gary
plant that machinery was operating
fulI force. For the first time since
establishment Of the plant, the north
ern heavens failed TO reflect the
bright red glow Of the blast furnace
which DISTRACTED the view OF the
stars. Only a pink reflection, through
which the North star could be plainly
seen, was observed.
Strikers seemed to regard the afiair
aa q holiday. They paraded the
streets until late hours.
Mayor Hodge, commenting on the
fact that there had been no disorder,
said it was probably due to the fact
that crowds were not allowed to

that any one convicted on the charge
Of carrying concealed weapons viii be
given the maximum penalty-S50O
