on the east side, was the abandoned
fishing village, which had been occupied
by Portuguese settlers until Parados
had bought the island and turned them

A huddle Of sheds occupied the CEN

side of it extended a score or so of
frame and adobe houses, most of them
fallen in like mushrooms withered in the
hot sun. Chimneys were gone; doors
stood agape, their approaches smothered
by sand or choked by EGGPLANT. A tiny
church had lost its steeple.

RAIL PATRONAGE
BUYING is PROBED
Charges of Necessary Pur-
chase of Inferior Goods to
Be Investigated.
~ the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, october Whether rail-
roads have been forced to buy high
priced and sometimes unsatisfactory
materials to keep or obtain the patron
age of large shippers was the question
confronting the Interstate Commerce
Commission here yesterday.
The laws of the Interstate Commerce
Commission prohibit the basing Of pur-
chases upon shipping. it was explained,
and in the event evidence discloses vio-
lations of the anti-rebate section of
the law, it viii be referred to the Fed
eral attorneys of the districts in which
the violations were committed for
prosecution.
The first witness was E. A. Clifford,
general purchasing agent of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railroad.
In general, while admitting that
shippers and manufacturers who supply
large tonnage to the lines were giving
preference in supplying the railroad. no
illegal means were used to insure them
contracts for materials, Clifford said
He added that AL things being equal

the West Coast by railroads that peddle

has never done that"

SAVANNAH, Ca. QP. - Picking
"deer's tongIA" leaves along the Georgia
coast is a profitable occupation during
the Summer months.
Used principally in China for ia

Is wild plant growing in swampy areas
near Savannah. It is not an adulterant,
but rather adds pleasant flavor to the

Georgia Negroes who gather the
plant each season care little about the
current price of tobacco or where the
deers tongue goes to. To them It
means ready money at the country
store, once it is picked, dried and baled.
About 100000 pounds of the dried
leaves have been shipped from here

which Florence Yocum, especially, did
complete justice, there was much in
this tale of intrigue In and about the
Sahara Desert to please an appreciatiVe
audience. Such songs as You'll Never

performance, as did others which Miss

Besides the heroine there were others

something of a climax in her Song of

Dale to Call Senate and
House Conferees Soon
for Final o. K.
SENATOR'S OBJECTIONS
LIKELY TO BE WITHHELD
Higher Annuities for Higher-Sal-
aried Federal Workers Due I'm
der $1e,OOo,O0O Increase.

The outlook for an early agreement
on the civil service retirement bill,
which has been deadlocked in confer
ence for more than month, appeared
bright today, with Senator Dale, Re-
publican, of Vermont, planning to call
the confereeS together the first part
of next week
There is every indication that the
conferees will accept the bill in SUBJ
stantially the form in which it passed
the House rather than have the ses-
sion end without any retirement bill
being enacted into law.
May Withhold Objections.
While some of the Senate conferees
have been considering the need for
certain amendments to the new plan of
retirement contained in the House bill,
the expectation now is that they will
not insist on altering it at this time
Although the House bill, which now
seems likely to be adopted, sets up an
entirely new method of computing
annuities, it contains a provision that
in no case shall an employe receive a
smaller annuity than he would have
been entitled to under the Dale bill as
passed by the Senate.
1t has been estimated that the House
plan will exceed the cost of the present
retirement system by about $16.000,00
annually.
Under the House proposal the.e would
be set up for each employe personal
account, to which would be credited all
his past contributions. together with
interest. In the future his contributions
would be credited to this account, with
the exception of 81 month. This de-
duction would go toward meeting the
cost of basic annuity of $50 a year
for each year of service, up to a
maximum of 5000. In addition to this
basic annuity, each employe would be
entitled to whatever additional annuity
could be purchased with the amount to
his credit in his personal account.
Maximum Decreased.
The effect of the Senate bill would
be to make possible higher annuities for
employees in the higher salary groups,
and also the exceptionally low-paid en-
ployes. Under the Senate bill the max
mum annuity would have been $1,000
IN any case.
Confidence that the retirement law
will soon be passed by both House and
Senate was expressed today by Repre-
sentative Addison Smith, Republican,
of Idaho, House conferee.
