Romance of the Red Cross Building
~ APRIL. 1851, when President Linz

TN APRIL, 1861, when President Lin
coin issued his call for 70, 600 vol
unteers, two young men, Francis
Barlow and James A. Scrymser, en-
listed in the engineer corps of the
Twelfth New York. At Antietam Ser
geant Barlow was badly wounded, and
his wife, a member of the sanitary
commission, of which the American
Red Cross is lineal descendant, went
to the battle front that she might be
at his side to nurse him. AT Gettys-
burg Sergeant Barlow again was
wounded, and this time was left be-
hind Confederate lines. At daybreak
one morning, in spite of watchful SEN
tries, she succeeded in reaching her
wounded husband and in remaining
with him until he recovered.
This brave and faithful woman died
In 1864, a victim of typhus contracted
in her untiring labors among the sick
and wounded fighting men. To the
heartrbroken husband she typified the
splendid spirit of American women In
war time, and shortly before his
death, in 1895, Major General Barlow
predicted, in the presence of his COM

said the other day in the senate,
among other things:
Here, Mr. President, is the true
reason why we have a group of men
in congress sometimes called the farm
bloc Our entire business structure
rests upon the land. The farmer not
only feeds US and clothes US, but is as
class our best customer. Without
him the railroads would languish, the
steel industry perish. Unless the
farmer and the farm industry prosper,
no other industry can. This is the task
these representatives and senator's
from the agricultural states feel they
have cut out for them"

BARS SPHERES
OF INFLUENCE
U. S. Resolution Would Bind Big
Nations to Agreement

WOULD CREATE BOARD

Also Reserves Its
Judgment.

Washington-An American proposal
to redefine the open door policy in
China and create an international
board to examine both existing and
future concessions which appear to
conflict with it was debated without
decision by the Far East committee
of the Washington conference
The British and Italians accepted
the plan in principle, but the French
withheld assent to some of its pro.
VISIONS and the Japanese reserved
judgment pending communication
with Tokyo. The subject will be
taken up again with all signs point
ing to long and interesting discus

Bars Spheres of Influence.
In brief, the American resolution
would bind the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France, Italy, Bel
GUM, Portugal and the Netherlands
not to seek special spheres of inf1u-
ence in Chita nor secure conces-
sions or monopolies which would
abridge the principles of equal eco

China would agree to cooperate in
maintaining that equality, and the
nine powers collectively would au-

Except for another inconclusive
session of the Shantung negotiations,

Bill to Prohibit Blocs in Congress

A BILL prohibiting the formation
"A in congress of blocs, based upon
particular pursuits or geOgraphi-
cal locations, for the purpose of sin
any way affecting legislation" has
been introduced by Representative An
sorge, Republican. Senators and rep
,resentatives would be subject to a fine
of $4,000 in case it was proved they
belonged to bloc.
The bill, which would not interfere
with regularly convened caucuses of
the majority and minority political
parties, was framed along the lines Of
the Sherman act, prohibiting combina-
tons in restraint of trade, Mr.. An
sorge said.
The proposed bill was designed, he
explained, to prohibit combinations in
restraint of legislation (which inher-
emily are more dangerous to the coun-
try than combination in restraint of
trade"
IF we are to have an agricultural
bloc why not manufacturers bloc, a
consumers bloc, and numerous geo.
graphical blocs?" Mr.. Ansorge asked.

WHERE STOLEN CARS GO.
Mexico is Said to Be Literally Flood
ed With Them.

American Consul John w. Dye at
Juarez, Mexico, has found what be-
comes of many of the automobiles
stolen every month. They go across
the international bridge into Mexico
in such numbers that the legitimate
automobile trade of Mexico has be-
come seriously affected.
According to Mr.. Dye, thousands
Of stolen automobiles are steadily
pouring across the boundary. For
the most part they come from Cali
fornia and states bordering on the
Rio Grande, but many are known to
have come from as far away as CHI
cago.
The cars are sold in Mexico for
about half their value. Many are
stripped of pieces of any value and
abandoned, while others are taken
into secret hiding places and new
bodies placed on old chassis, or other
wise changed so as to be unrecogn1z-
able. The consul cites one case or
where a Mexican offered boy $40
for a "good Ford" The boy got the
Ford but was caught before he
could deliver it.
Officials are now taking the num-
ber of every car crossing the brldge.

INDIANS MOVE.
Story of Lost Cherokees' is Re.
called.

The removal of number OF
Cherokee Indians from Delaware
county to the community, enterprise
that the Keetowah Society of that
tribe is founding in Cherokee county
has served to recall the story of the
Lost Cherokees," story that is
included in all the later day Indian
histories but in varying accounts,
relates a Grove, Oklahoma dispatch.
Old time Cherokees of this section
have lately brought forth what they
declare is the "only true account
of the Lost Cherokee" ever given
to the public. The authorities say
they obtained their information
from their grand parents and insist
that the version is absolutely cor
rect.
It happened back in 1888, their
account runs, when the Cherokees
living in what is now called the "old
south sold portion of their lands.
This created an extreme bitterness
among a faction that was opposed to
disposing of the property. Members
of this faction forecast the sale as
tha hesinning of the white mans en-
croachment upon the Indians and
.roned that if the sale was consum-
mated it would only be a question OF
time when the Indians would be dis
possessed of all of their holdings to
the benefit of the pale faces.
The Indians who are now recalling
the Lost Cherokees, assert their
GRANDPARENTS described to them the
bitterness with which the dispute
RACED between those who favored
and those who opposed. Finally, the
faction opposed to the sale delivered
an ultimatum to their opponents TO
the effect that if the sale was con-
summated those opposing would MI
crate west. The sale went through
and the dissatisfied Cherokees start
ed out for a new home.
Bitterness in the fight was lost and
the faction that favored the sale &C
companied the immigrants as far
west as the Mississippi river with en-
+reaties that they reconsider and
stay. But no amount of persuasion
would influence them to change their
minds. When the river was reacheo'
the advocates of the sale turned back
to their homes and the other faction
crossed the streams and turned their
faces to the west.
That was the last seen OF them.

Hunt For Bacon
Find Liquor Still

Good luck for the sheriff and bad
luck for the parties involved accom-
panied search for stolen bacon one
day recently. McKinnon Biggs, a
well known farmer residing near
town, reported to Sheriff Ray the
fact that Friday night someone had
entered unlimited into his smoke
house and extracted therefrom sew
eral sides of good cured bacon. Sus-
picion pointed towards either of two
darkies living nearby, and conse-
quently the sheriff, armed with a
search warrant for the homes OF
both suspects, went in search of the
meat in company with Mr.. Biggs.
The first house searched was that
of Sheppard Shelton, and resulted in
the finding of some of the bacon. Not
locating all of it, they proceeded to
the house of Nathan Crawford, and
made further search. They found
no LIQUOR, but succeeded in locating
a LIQUOR still which had only recent
ly been in operation.
The still was a small affair, and
was hot when the sheriff found 1t,
and was located in the house. Both
negroes were brought to Bamberg
and lodged in Jail, Crawford on the
charge of making liquor and Shelton
for housebreaking and larceny.
Sheriff Ray had had no intimatlon
that Crawford was making whiskey,
and the find was just piece OF good
luck.
