WHILE BURGLAR DOZES
Intruder Ransacks Room and Then

A burglar ransacked the bedroom
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Neff, at 1144
7th street. last night. and theE nearly
went to sleep in a chair in the room,
leaving early this morning without
harming either Mr.. or Mrs. Neff or
the three children of the couple.
Mrs. Neff awoke during the night
and saw the man. but was afraid to
awake her husband. She said today
that she opened one eye at intervals
and took glimpse of the man. but
that she could not tell whether he
was white or a light-skinned colored
man, although she could recognize
him if brought before her.

window was slightly open and he

CLASSIFYING MOVE
FAILURE IN SENATE
Sterling Attempts to Take
Report From Appropria-
tions Committee.

A final effort to have the Senate an
propriations committee discharged
from further consideration of the re-
port of the joint reclassification COM
mission and the Jones bill for the
reclassification of government en-
ployes was made in the Senate last
night by Senator Sterling of South
Dakota. but without avail.
He sought to have the report and
bill taken from the appropriations
committee and referred to the COM
mittee on civil service. of which Sena-
tor Sterling is chairman, on the
ground that reclassfication is a leg
islative matter and does not properly
belong to the committee on appro-
priations.
At the conclusion of the debate on
Senator Sterling's motion to discharge
the committee. a viva Voce vote was
taken, and the noes" were over
whelming.
Senator Sterling called attention to
the fact that the report had been be-
fore the appropriations committee for
a year without anything having been
done.
Replying. Senator Smoot of Utah,
member of the appropriations COM
mittee, insisted that that committee
had obtained valuable data relating
to the salaries of the government en-
ployes. He predicted that reclassifica-
ton would be undertaken by the COM
mittee in the next Congress and put
through.

OFF|CERSE[ECTED
IN TRADE CONGRESS
Southern Organization Asks
Extension of Work of
Ship Board Craft.

Committed to policy designed to
stabilize business conditions at home
and extend United States commerce
abroad, the Southern Commercial
Congress today entered on a new
year. with Thomas r. Preston of
Chattanooga. Tenn, again as its
president.
Mr.. Preston was reelected last
night, at the concluding session of
the three-day meeting here of the
congress, and Clarence ]. Owens was
reelected director general. Other
o1icers chosen were Albert E. Tate,
Hlgh Point, n. c., first vice president;
j.. Z. Mckinley. Wheeling. w. Va,
second vice president, and Mrs. c. G.
calhoun. Washington, president gem
eral OF the women's auxiliary.
Use of Ship Board Craft.
Extension of the work of the Ship
ping Board vessels was urged in the
platform adopted by the congress.
New trade routes should be opened,
it said, consuls trained to obtain
business for American vessels and
governmentowned boats allocated to
every port in the country.
The platform also placed the dele
gates on record as favoring equaliZed
railroad rates between inland points
and south Atlantic ports, as well as
north Atlantic ports.
1t was urged. in addition, that steps
should be taken to bring about
sound system for the sale and distri
button of farm products; that efforts
should be made among producers to
secure the best cooperation in mar
keting their supplies, and that direct
dealings between farmers and con-
sumers should be encouraged.
Various Points in Platform.
Other points covered in the platform
were:
That railroad rates should be inves-
tlgated and efforts made so to fix
charges that they will not be a detri-
ment to the farmer.
That an investigation should be
made looking to the establishment of
National Chamber of Agriculture,
which would help farmers to find
markets and otherwise further the
cause Of the farm producer.
The convention went on record as
favoring the establishment of auxil-
larry congresses in the sixteen south
ern states.

greSS yesterday. Fourth Assistant

cred an address on the transportation

perfect precision and ensemble which
distinguishes this orchestra. The organ
ization is perfectly balanced. and at no
time is there too much brass or wood
wind as is frequently true Of our own
best orchestras. The volume Of tone
was greater at yesterdays concert than
at the two given in January. probably
due to the stage setting and to the
smaller auditorium.
The Beethoven symphony, No. :.
opus 80. in A major, was played with
scholarly Interpretation. In this the
well balanced parts. the precision of
attack and ensemble and the good
tone enhanced the beauty of the SYM

too loud tenor kettle drum. which was
particularly annoying in the last
movement.

BLALOCK VS.. BROWN.

A FEW days ago the present com
missioner Of agriculture, J. J.
Brown, announced that only death
could keep him from running for re
election. Ard since the commissioner
has appeared in rather robust health
these many years, and shows himself
now physically little the worse for
wear, we may as well get ready to
watch his race. And it appears that
it is not going to be one Of those I'M
opposed, go-by-default affairs, for
already the foes of the commissioner
are lining up to clean out his depart
ment. 1t develops that an effort is
being made to have A. o. Blalock,
recent collector of internal revenue,
announce for the place and that the
effort may succeed. An inkling of
what may be expected may be had
from the following from the Dalton
Citizen:
"There is widespread dissatisfac-
tion with the administration of Mr.
Brown. He has done the agricultural
interests of the state great harm by
so much indiscriminate and loose
talk, whether Willingly or unwilling
ly we shall not attempt to say. How
ever, it is the opinion of many that
the talks, statements, and so-called
speeches were for political effect, and i
had for their purpose the strengthen

cents pound when it was forty and |
above was needed by many to their

that have marked the adj

. ATHER than go shopping, some
~ times I'd make hat or two with
materials CLEANED from the one hun
bred boxes of millinery in my mar
drobe.
That was fun, but what wore out
my nerves and my patience was the
fittings of the costumes made to or
der and according to special designs.
More than one morning I've tried

So much morale does success in

fun of discovery and accomplishment.
How to take tea stain from the TIA

whatever | learn, | use sometimes

Once a great artist told me that
work is the secret genius. To keep
on working, and never to care how
much, or how hard, or how long one
works, # one only can get result

fore hand.
