G|LLETT SELECTED
HOUSE SPEAKER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s-Republi-
can representatives in the sixty-sixth
congress today had completed their
preparations for organization of the
next house with Representative Fred
erick H. Gillett, of Massachusetts, as
speaker. After one of the most spirit
ed speakership nomination contests
in recent years, Mr.. Gillett was select
ed by the Republican conference last
night as its nominee, and, barring an
improbable split in the party ranks.
will succeed to the office now held by
Champ Clark, Of Missouri, Democrat.
The Ma ssachusetts representative
received 139 votes; James B. Mann,
of Illinois, the present Republican
floor leader, 60; Representative Philip
Campbell, of Kansas, 10. and five
votes we're scattering. Upon motion
of Representative Mann. the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Gillette was made unani-
nous.
Some Republican representatives
pointed out today that although Rep
resentative mann was defeated in the
speakership race, by virtue of the Sc
sentatives favorable to him on the
committee on committees, he probably
would be chosen as floor leader in the
next house. The committee on COM
mittees will meet next Wednesday to
select floor leader, a party whip and
formulate recommendations os to
membership of the standing commit
tees.

Postmaster Warns Against
Casking u. S. Securities

Too many people are cashing in

opinion Of Postmaster Beck.
Almost every day calls arc made at
the postoffice by Wayne county people
wishing to cash in their bonds and
stamps. He said people should be
discouraged from doing such q thing
when possible, as the war is not over
until the treaty of peace is signed.
The government is still In the need
Of money to disburse its many obi
cations and It is up to the people
to hold their bonds and stamps not
only because It is q good investment
but because the country needs the
money. There are many cases. the
postmaster states, In which he was
glad to pay over to the owners Of

people really need the money. The

WAR CAUSE FOR
swine DISEASES

DR.. r. A. Kigin Of Purdue Univers-
lty, who talked on swine diseases at
the Hagerstown farm institute Fri
day and will talk on the same subject
ut the Centerville meeting Saturday,
says war conditions are partly res
ponsible for the alarming spread of
hog diseases in Indiana in the last
two years.
Mixing Of hogs in centers from
which they are redistributed for fat
tening, by which hogs from half a
dozen different counties might go to
the same farm for fattening, is the
chief reason for this spread. I'm
Bcrupulous dealers who by means of
tricks got hogs passed as healthy
after they had been rejected several
times are also partly to blame.
Hog cholera used to be the only
disease which was really dreaded by
hog growers, but hog typhoid. swine
plague. sore mouth and blackleg are
spreading, while cholera has been very
efficiently controlled by the use of
serum. There Is only one disease
which seems to be totally new and
this may be a combination of two
other known diseases appearing in
the animal at the same time. said DR..
kigin.

MISUNDERSTANDING HENS

DUBLIN, Ind, Feb. 2S.-Mrs.
Margaret Demaree of Dublin, has
three hens which can set the record
for any poultry in the state. They
were Matched on Decoration day,
and one pullet celebrated the wars
close by laying it's first egg the day
the armistice was signed. In 106
days the three hens have produced
1853 eggs, an average Of Sc eggs
each. There were but five days
during that time when the hens
failed to lay. OF the 1913 eggs laid
three had double yolks. Mrs. De-
maree's chickens are also unique
in another respect, she claims. She
says she has raised them in an
open yard, where a garden and
flowers were raised, and that the
chickens never damaged either.

DIVER RETURNS TO AGAIN MAKE
 SEARCH OF WRECK
Aqent E. w. w. LoWIe Does Not Believe Bodies Will Be Found on Lower
 Deck Sophia.

Capt s. Jacobsen, the local diver, left this morning with his diving out fit on the Constance and the Clopeck for the wreck of the Princess So- phia to make final inspection of the boat. Capt. Jacobsen was accom- panied Nby J. A. Snow, representative of the Canadian Pacific and by Al Winschell, whose wife was one of the victims of the disaster whose body has not yet been recovered
 AS yet Capt. Jacobsen has recover ed no more bodies from the wreck On this trip he will attempt to search the lower deck staterooms of the Sophia through the windows for the bodies of victims who might have been caught in their rooms
 They will be gone but a short time this trip" said F. F. w. Lowle, general agent for the Canadian Pa .cific. According to Capt. Jacobsen, if they have an hour of clear weath- CT. he will be able to determine whether or not there are any more bodies on the boat. Personally, think it unlikely that any bodies will be found in the lower rooms. It is only natural that the. passengers would seek the upper decks in or der to remain above water as long as possible"

PRESIDENT WILSON
 NOT FAVORABLE TO
 ITALY'S AMBITIONS

LONDON, Jan. 15.-In commenting upon the conferences between Pre- mier Vittorio Orlando of Italy, and President Wilson last Friday, per sons in touch with the Italian mis sion declare the premier was sur prised at Mir. Wilson't attitude, says the Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail.
 President Wilson was firm in his refusal to recognize Italian claims beyond Trieste and Trent the cor respondent writes. Tt is known that Foreign Minister Sonnono of Italy demands an important part of the Dalmatian Coast as well as Plume, while Premier Orlando would be content to give up the Dalmatian coast if sure of Plume. It is report cd that even on this point MT. Wilson was unwilling to give way.
 While the majority of the inhab- itants of Plume are Italians. that part is the natural outlet for Austrian Slavs. It is therefore claimed that few thousand Italians in Plume are not to be balanced against the needs for a sea outlet for millions of Slavs. It is pointed out that the commercial necessities of the Jugo- Slav demand an outlet to the Adriat- ic and that if Italy ignores those nee ess,ties she may incur the enmity cf those populations and create a new danger to the peace of Europe. It Is supposed that President Wilson does not consider that Plume. as a free port in Italian hands. would meet the demands of the Jugo-Slav hinterland"

 mentS Given.
PENALTY LAID DOW N
Harry Y. Saint of the Se- att|e Chamber of Con- merce Summarizes
 New Rules.

An article of interest to Alaskan shippers appears in the Seattle Times of Jan. 18th as follows;
 That the proposed changes in i'm port and export rates, rules and reg ulations, promulgated by the United States Railroad Administration, ap- ply to shipments to and from Alaska the same as to any foreign country is the statement made yesterday af- ternoon by Harry Y. Saint, director of the foreign trade bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club. MT. Saint has completed an epitome of the new rules proposed, which he will submit to a conference to be held soon by Seattle importers and exporters. MT. Saints statement follows:
 The transcontinental rates to Seat tie and San Francisco on shipments to Alaska must remain the same, but permit must be obtained from the railroad that space has been allotted for the shipment on vessel to Alas ka. Passenger train service will be eliminated on eastbound shipments of fresh fish.
 The proposed changes, which vital ly affect the commerce of Seattle and all Pacific ports, are shown in the outline given below:
 Penalty Laid Down
 The penalty for deviating from the rules laid down for import and ex- port freight is the application of do mestic rates, which are higher than import and export rates.
 Export rates and privileges will apply only to freight which does not leave the possession of the rail car rier until delivered to the steamship company, except freight given "in transit" privileges and freight which has missed the vessel on which it has been booked on account of rail transportation.
 Domestic rates will apply if ex port shipment is held at the port of export on the request of the owner or other interested person.
 Domestic rates will apply on export shipments if export bill of lading is not obtained within fifteen days from
