Trouble

| Washington Dec. $3.50 long as
the Russian Soviet government seeks
to stir up insurrection against the
government Of the United States it's
members resident here will be sub
ject to deportation. Secretary Wilson
said in a letter made public today
to Charles Recht, counsel for Ludwig
c. A. K. Martens, soviet agent in the
United States now under sentence of
deportation.
While the secretary in his letter
expressed the friendship of the Unit
ed States government for the Russian
people, he said that the evidence
cumulative and conclusive that the
military dictatorship of Russia call
ing itself the soviet government was
appropriating large sums of money
TO stir up insurrection by force of
arms against the United States gov
ernment." 1t was this which made
Martens, member of the soviet
government. liable TO deportation. he
added
The letter was in reply to one from
Reicht on December 26 relative to
the deportation Of Martens to Rus
sia and for which it had pre-
viously been announced that the So
Wet agent would on January 3 for
mally surrender himself to the United
States authorities. In his answer
Mr. Wilson said that he had author
lied the completion of arrangements

branded as insulting" and as re-

conceptions of the dominant group
In Russia" intimations said TO have
, been contained in Reichts communi-
cation to the effect that profitable
trade with Russia was so important
in the American mind as to permit
"our institutions to- be undermined,
and destroyed and our liberties SUBJ
merged if we can have but access to
that trade"
In dealing with the question of
the depOrtations of aliens the secre-
tary Of the department of labor was
not concerned with the form of gov
ernment adopted by or imposed upon
the people of Russia, except insofar
as our sympathies go out to those
who are oppressed"

Appropriations for Next

Columbia, Dec. 81. Governor
Cooper will urge the legislature. in
his annual message, to use great
economy in state appropriations, and
he will take stand against large in
crea ses, except in the department
having to do with roads, health and
education. This he makes plain in a
letter to Walter b. Wilbur, of Char

tht press today. Mr.. Wilbur wrote
the governor very strong letter. in
which he strongly urged liberal ap-
preparations for state government and
institutions. :aking The position that
this is not time for taking back
ward steps in state government.
Governor Cooper states that he will
not fav0r large appropriations for i'm
provements to state institutions. The
institutions can get along without
heavy appropriations for such pur-
poses for q while longer, making the
needed improvements at a more ia
voWble time. However, in his letter
Gov. Cooper stated that he would
urge liberal appropriations for the

IOwa'S Parks and Natural Curiosities

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 29.-Iowa has
achieved such remarkable results in
state park creation and development
that the first national conference on
parks is to be held here January To-
II under the auspices of the depart
ment of the interior and the state OF
, Iowa. Experts from every state will
be present TO discuss park problems
and incidentally to learn how Iowa
has been able to do so much.
Ninety-seven out of every one hun
dred acres in Iowa are capable of cul-
! tivation, according TO official statistics,
leaving only three per cent of park
able land. That three per cent how
ever, contained some Interesting out
door things. The Indian mounds. for
! instance, several hundred of which
are scattered over the state, are in a
minor way to the United States what
the pyramids are to Egypt, relics OF
an ancient civilization. About fifty of
the mounds are within state parks,
while the others will be included in
the parks to be laid out inthe future.
Some Of them have been despoiled for
Some Of them have ben dspoild for
their treasures of pottery, beads and
| fighting implements, but many re-
main intact and officials Of the Iowa
historical department hope some day
to have an adequate collection of the
utensils which the first Americans
used in their every day life.
The ice caves OF Iowa are another
interesting part of it's park system.
They owe their existence, probably, to
those prehistoric seas which once
covered this territory, for they are
found in limestone regions. where the
rock is porous. In the winter these
cavities store up cold air. When sum-
mer comes and the corn begins to
grow under the impulse of q burning
sun, the rigid air escapes slowly.
coating the mouth of the caves with
rime and hoar-frost.
| These caves in turn give rise TO
one OF the most interesting botanical
phenomenon of this country-the sur
Vival in Iowa Of trees and flowers that
! have their normal range far to the
north. While Iowa swelters, the tenn
| pCrature of the soil on the rocks near
the caves remains at SO TO 55 degrees
and there frequently grow the balsam
fir of the north woods and the aeon
mite or monks hood of the mountains.
In Iowa parks may be. seen the most
southwestern distribution of white
pine in the United States. While in
Western Iowa are found arid plants
commonly associated with the desert
and high mountain plateaus Of the far
west
Many other states doubtless could
provide equally good attractions for
parks at home and that is what the
national conference on parks service
is for. stephen T. Mather. director
OF the national park service, will be
here to discuss the work, of the nat
ional parks, while others will tell OF
state park work, notably DR.. l. II.
Z Pammel, chairman of the Iowa Con-
servation board. who will explain how
Iowa surmounted its difficulties.

VETOOF RAIL-
ROAD BILL,
Pres. Wilson Decides Against
Extension

Washington, Dec. 30.-RailrOads OF
the country after tomorrow will be
prohibited from buying equipment
from companies in which they or
their officers are interested as the
result Of the veto today by President
Wilson of bill to delay further the
operation of such prohibitOry pro-
vision in the Clayton antitrust act.
The last Of three separate two-year
suspensions OF the prohibitory section
expires tomorrow at midnight.
The president in announcing his
veto thorugh a message to the sem
ate, declared the railroads had been
given several extensions of time to
prepare for observance of the law and
that no adequate reasons had been
presented for further postponements
Of it's operation. ,,.
Railroad representatives on learn
ing OF the veto which overrode a 6
to recommendation OF the interstate
commerce committee that the bin be
approved, declared failure to suspend
further the operation of the Clayton
act provision would mean drastic
and immediate revision of the car
rricrs system Of buying equipment.
The contention also was made by the
railroads. representatives that the re-
quiredi change would add hundreds
Of thousands of dollars to the cost of
railroad operation.
The presidents veto message on
receipt by the senate was read and
left on the vice presidents desk for
further action. Senate leaders said
they could not determine Immediate
ly what would be done or when fur
ther action would come Senator La
Toilette, Republican, Wisconsin, an
opponent Of the bill, secured uDani-
nous consent for pOstponement, prob
ably until next week.
President Wilson in his veto mes
sage said that the prohibition of the
prohibiting railroads from b e n e
both buyers and sellers of their rail-
road supplies was sound and that
with the interstate commerce COM
mission prepared to enforce the law,
by preparation Of regulations. he
could not consent TO further delay.
The vetoed bill was opposed by rail-
road labor and President Johnson Of
the International Machinists urged
the president to reject it, declaring
lit will simply legislate a great steal
from the American people"
The bill was passed on the same
day and under the same circum-
stances as the PoindeXter anti-strike
bill with few senators present and
virtually without debate.

SERIOUSLY SHOT

ut about 10 o'clock two little boys are

In Mr.. j. F.. Buffers back yard, not

ler noticing the double barrel shot gun
9eaning in a. corner Of tho hack porch
sent her little daughter, Lille. to get
the gun and put it up. warning her
TO be careful with the gun. No soon
or had the little girl picked UP the
gun than she dropped 1t, both barrels
being discharged and a load hitting
each Of the little boys out in the
yard. ,4
The gun was of the hamcrless type
The wound received by Pressley But
lcr was only q. flesh wound in his
right arm which was received at close
range keeping the shot from scat
tering. The load that hit Ernest
Reardon seemed to center for the
most part in his lower left leg, maxi
ing a fearful wound there and then
tho shot scattering over his body as
high up as his shoulder About
three OF tho shot entered his abdo-
men, Just how serious these wounds
will prove is not yet known. Ernest
was picked up by one of the women
IN the ncighDorhood and carried into
the house and very soon after was
carried 20 the Tourney Hospital where
