THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY
(From The Times-Recorder Oct.
80, 1894.)
Quite a sensation was created
here yesterday by a report from
Montgomery to the effect that a
scheme was on foot whereby the
s. A. and M. was to have itself
scooped by the Illinois Central rail
road. Until demand in toto by the
S. A. and M. people here, the re
port caused quite a furry and was
discussed every where ABOUT tho
city.
The First Methodist church was
crowded on Sunday night last, the
occasion being the annual meytirg

John w Davis Cabinet

Some Of the Republican cam
paigners are inquiring who
would be in the Cabinet in the
event of John w. Davis election
to the Presidency.
It isn't possible to predict
who will be in the Cabinet, but
it is possible to say who won't
be there. Albert B. Fall will
be among the missing; and SO
will Harry Daugherty Neither
will Edwin DENLY answer the
roll call nor Mr.. Secretary Viii
bur, nor MIR. Secretary Work,
nor the former Assistant Secre-
tary'of the Navy, Mr., Roosevelt.
Nor will any tool Of the oil in
terests or other enemies of either
conservation or good govern
ment have opportunity, with
Mr.. Davis in the White House to
be either a rubber stamp, mes
scnger boy, dumb-bell or depu-
ty durnb-bell for Mr. Sinclair,
Mr.. Doheny or any land grab
bcrs.
Mr. Davis cabinet will be
100 per cent honest, not 20 per
cent, and if dishonesty or faith
lessness to the public service
should crop out, Mr.. Davis
won't wait for the Senate to ask
for designations.

Senator Declares He Knew
Nothing of Liquor Per-
mits, as Means Said
DISTURBANCE RAISED

Washington, May Ex-senator
of Massachusetts, the Republican
Senate leader, took the witness stand
today before the Daugherty commit
tee today and made an explicit de-
NAL that he had ever aided in the
issue of export liquor permits as
Indicated in recent testimony by
CASTOR b. Means.
The story told by Means was that
permit in which Senator Lodge
interested himself, resulted in the
export to Canada by Craven Broth
crs of consignment of liquor which
later was landed by smugglcrs off
Atlantic City. The Senator de
clared. however, that he never knew
of the existence of Craven Broth
crS.
The committee then heard another
volunteer witness, A. l.. Fink of
Rochester. y. Y, associated in com
mttee testimony with RoXic Stin-
son, and he launched into a series
of charges which created disturb
ance that had to be quietcd by the
Senate police
Fink shouted that he was the
man Frank Nanderiip tried TO give
$1,000 for perjured testimony
against President Coolidge and
that he wanted to tell how Senator
Wheeler, the committee prosecutor,
got booze for Roxie Stinson.

Ship Is Sent by Parcel Post
for Use in Africa

Shipbuilding has been reduced to q
science so precise that it is now pos
sible to construct vessels in such a
manner that they may be taken to
pieces, the parts shipped, and finally
reassembed into a seaworthy craft at
the destination. Each part is num-
bercd and ticketed, and full instruc-
tions accompany it, vital necessity,
as the engineer is often compelled to
make use of native labor, which always
must be under his eye if he is to secure
satisfactory results. The steamship
william Mackinnon," the first to be
launched on Lake Nyanza, Central
Africa, reached Mombasa by parcel
post from England. Then the parts
were transported through 500 miles of
Jungle to the lake, on the heads of
5000 Kaffir porters. The boilers were
dragged by oxen.

Sparrows Defy Gas "Attack"

Resisting the fumes of mustard gas,
and other deadly chemicals in guam

a human being, English sparrows and
domestic pigeons survived .gas "at-
tac!ls" in recent tests conducted by the
government to find way to rid the
country of various bird pests. The
subjects were placed in tight compart-
ments, so arranged that the observers
could watch their actions. The gas
was administered in varying quantl-
ties. Amounts that would have killed
a soldier caused the specimens to
evince little agitation, and they recov-
cred when taken into fresh air. In all,
six varieties of gas were tried but
without the desired effect. The ex-
periments emphasized the difficulties
encountered in Kidding the country OF
the English sparrow in particular.

Coffee percolators occasionally be-

washing are usually futile. A good
method of doing the work is to hold

minutes and then tap it lightly; this
will open all the holes at once. OBJ
viously, this is much better than at
tempting to prick the holes open with
