COLORADO GIRL
WANTS HUSBAND
AND GOVERNORS SECRETARY
UNDERTAKES TO FIND ONE
FOR WESTERN LASSIE

Columbia, oct. l3.-Any Dal mead
ed, sentimental millionaire bachelor
or widower who wants pretty,
brown-eyed little darling to help him
spend his money and play sweet lul-
labies to him, has only to apply to
the office of the Governor of South
Carolina to get the address of
Western maid who is just "dying" to
commit matrimony, providing there
is plenty of coin in the offing.
While there has been no advertise
ment to the effect that Governor
Cooper is heading a matrimonial bu-
reau, yet a Colorado girl evidently
thinks that he can put her in touch
with some South Carolina swain who
wants to be loved. The Governors
office received letter today post
marked Pueblo, Colo, in which re-
quest is made to find pining maiden
"of one of the best families of Col
orado," a helpmeet in the turbulent
battle of life.
The maid is easily satisfied; all she
wants is chubby" she can love with
all her heart and who will love her
and can show one million dollars. In
her set of specifications she says that
any candidate that applies should be
fifty years of age. This is interpre--
ed as a gentel hint that she does not
want him to live too long; she pre-
fers to spend the million as "mer-
Iy widow"
Governor Cooper IS in New Orleans
attending the World Cotton Confer
ence and his secretar?y, James c. De-
rieux, is handling the matrimonial
end of the executive office. Mi. De-
rieux, however, has net had much
experience along matrimonial lines,
as he has so far failed to annex to
himself a wife. In his desperation he
called the capital newspaper men in
to consultation, but they could not
apply; the majority of them are mar
ried and all were penniless. How
ever, they suggested handsome
scribe of the Piedmont section, whom
they thought might be interested.
He is unmarried, but fails under the
age limit, and he has not yet, SO far
as is known, amassed a million
"scads."
\ Mr.. Derieux requests the bachelors
of the State, who will fall over each
others necks in an effort to capture
the Western peach, to apply to him
for the name of the fair one, and not
to send photographs, autobiography
cal sketches and financial statements
to the Governors office. He has no
appropriation for the hiring of an ex-
ira steaographer and, in his opinion,
the Colorado maid would prefer to
receive all documentary evidence di-
rect.
The epistle to the Governor, which
is captioned Hunting for Happiness"
follows:
81 am looking for a tall Blue eye
so year old Husband. He must have
a million 5. l am small. Called Pret-
ty. Brown eyes. Music Teacher. l
never did a bad act before God in my
life. If | find a person l can love with
all my heart and soul better than
life and am sure he loves me, the
same | will marry. We are one Of
the best families in state of Colora-
do. Please send photo and full par
ticulars.
"Please give this to the best look
ing Bachelor in your State. Thank
you"
The letteris signed by woman
who purports to live at Pueblo, Col.

Washington.-Proh enforce
menC legislation advanced another step
in Congress when the Senate judiciary
Committee began consideration Of the
bill passed by the House last June as
amended and liberalized by judiciary
subcommittee. Although the general
House plan for enforcement OF war
time" and constitutional prohibition
remain in the bill, the subcommittee
eliminated several drastic House pro-
visions and modified others. In its
work the subcommittee, comprising
Senators Thomas Sterling, Republican,
of South Dakota, Chairman Albert B.
Fall, of New Mexico, and George w.
Norris, of Nebraska, Republicans, and
Lee S. Overman, of North Carolina;
Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, and
William III. King, of UtaH, Democrats,
first revised the Senate enforcement
bill and then incorporated their amend
ments in the House bill, reporting the
latter as amended by unanimous vote
to the full committee.
Like the House, the Senate subcom-
mittee adopted the plan of having sep
arate sections in the bill to deal with
wartime" and constitutional prohibi-
ton. The subcommittee left unchanged
the House definition of Intoxicating
beverages as being those containing
one-half of one per cent or more Of
alcohol. AS revised the bill will not
interfere with storage and personal
use Of intoxicants in the homes OF in
dividualS. Probably the most liberal
amendment to the House bill is a
provision exempting from penalties
any person manufacturing nonintoxl-
eating cider and fruit juices exclusive
ly for use in his house." This would
permit home manufacture Of light
wines and cider for personal consump-
ton, and the amendment, except by
implication in connection with the
definition of intoNicants, does not de-
fine Misunderstanding beverages"
Stricken from the House bill was the
provision making it unlawful for per-
sons to be intoxicated or to drink liF
uor on trains, street cars, jitneyS,
boats or other public conveyances.

Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and eff-
eient remedy, made In America for more

50 MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
 CHALLENGE SENATOR REED

Jefferson City. Mo-. March 21.-Fifty democratic members of the Missouri legislature today offered if Senator James A. Reed. democrat from Mis- souri, would resign from the United States senate. The legislators then propose to run for reelection, as they suggest Reed should do. to force a popular vote in Missouri on the league of nations.
 The house of representatives recent ly passed resolutions demanding that Senator Reed resign hccause of his opposition to President Wilson's pro- gramme. The challenge of the legis-
 lators today came after a series of conferences it. which they decided to throw down the gaunrle- to the sen ator and at the same time attempt to shcw that the people Of Missouri en- dorse the presidents plan for a league of nations.
 As an alternative it wrs suggested that the democratic state committee call a convention of representative | democrats from every county to give
 endorsement to the president and his aims. to derounce Senator Reed and to bring about a reorganization of the party in the state if conditions are | found to justify 1t.

CHARGE THAT SECRETARY
 BAKER AIDED pACIEISTS

Kansas City, Mo. March 21-Per- lection of a pacitist organization in such a cleevr manner that it has reached the foundations of the most active department of the government the war department was charged in an address here today by Major Dick E. Foster, member of d court martial at Camp Funston, Kansas, that tried 155 alleged conscientious ob- jectOrs. He accused Secretary of War Baker with Intentionally or uninten- tionally aiding and assisting the l. W. w.. international socialists and hu- nanitarians in their program of block ing construction of the army by ex- tending and peryertirg the acts of congress for the protection, comfort and solace of these obstructionists
 In bringing his charge that the sec retary of war had given aid' to the objectors, the speaker read para graphs from what he declared were official Ordors providing that all those having personal scruples against war should be construed as "consci- entious objectors."
 Let me impress upon you what these secret orders mean" Major Eos ter continued. It means that every soldier in the United States army could have at any time gone to his
 
 ; that he was opposed to war taken off his uniform and refused to do military 1 serVice.'
 | The officer related how obiectorS 1 who were in the guardhouse aWaitine 1 trial would refuse to lire up for mess 1 throwing themselves upon the ground 1 kicking and screaming
 l Tin the midst of this condition. 1 Major Foster went ou, we took iron a conscientious objector a circular 1 sent out by Upton Sinclair, socialis 1 leader in which he reprinted d letter l from Newton D. Baker to the presi- i dent of the United States answering ! the president in regard to q complain 1 Sinclair had made of nistreatment O. 1 socialists That letter said:
 .i think, however, he should be in ! formed that we are now doing abso- iutely all that public opinion vii | stand in the interest of conscientiou! ! objectors and others whose views q, not happen to coincide with those o a vast majority of their fellow coun ! tryn2en.'
 MT. Baker was right He was do ing all that public opinion would stan' 1 in the interest of conscientious ob jectors and through his secret order was doing more than public opinion would have stood, had the true condi tions been known"

DISABLED SERVICE MEN
 MAKE GOOD EMpLOYES

New York, March 21.-Providing jobs for disabled soldiers, sailors and marines should not be regarded by employers as form of patriotic char ity, for it is proving "a sound business proposition Frederick W. keough of the National Manufacturers Associa- tion, declared in an address here today at the closing session of the Interna- tional Conference on Rehabilitation of the Disabled.
 Tt has been the experience of firms already employing disabled men," said MT. Keough, that they are so keenly appreciative of the opportunity offered that their spirit of willingness more than makes up for the disability"
 The greatest essential in the work of rehabilitation, he declared, was inn pressing on the men that their spirit and their attitude are the biggest fac tors in their success" Manufacturers he said. are ready to give them every opportunity but the will to make good" must be strong in the men il they are to succeed.

 "SLEEP.NG SlCkNESS'

Albany, N. Y, March 21.-The dis
 ease which is more or less prevalent
 throughout the country and which has
 been termed sleeping sickness" has
 been enormously named, Dr. Matthias

 missioner announced tonight in a statement giving the views of Dr. Si mon Flexner on the subject. The cor
 rect name is "lethargic encephalitis." :" Dr. Fiexner, who is director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re- search and a member of the state pub lie health council studied the disease abroad. Lethargic encephalitis, Dr. Nj coll declared, should not be confused with the African sleeping sickness which is q deadly disease.
 For the present the disease should 1 be viewed as of unknown causaCion, , i according to the F'lexner statement 1 Its relation to other diseases namely l influenza and infantile paralysis, is merely conjectural. None of the Euro pean observers ascribe the cases oc- curing in their respective countries tC 1 influenza or other well known diseases l although the resemblance of the pathO- logical lesions in the nervous system tC those occurring in infantile paralysis has led to a discussion of the points O correspondence and difference of thos' two affections.

BIDDING WAS SLOW AT
 FEDERAL WOOL AUCTION

Philadelphia, March 21. - Bidding dragged at the final day of the gov ernment's wool auction here, manu- facturersj and dealers showing little interest in the offerings except when good grades were placed on sale. Lack of business by carpet mills, high prices asked and the low grade of much of the stock offered were given as causes. The fact that the British government has reduced it's price for wool : 1-2 per cent. was also given by some who attended the auction as one of the causes of light sales.
 There were 1S1 lots offered, com prising about 100000 pounds of greasy carpet wool and 550,O00 pounds of secured carpet wool Withdrawals were heavy amounting to 109 lots to- talling 2,456.000 pounds and represent ing 51 per cent. of the offerings.
