too expensive. and proposed instead

that steamboats, could come to

Lincoln was beaten in that CAM
paign. A great many years later an
engineer employed by the state Of
Illinois took the trouble to make q
careful estimate Of the cost Of Lin
coins economy project. He found
that the whole thing would have
come to moro than SO. 000. 1000.
Wichita Wide Open
Liggett said In Kansas there was not
q town In which he could not go as
q stranger and get q drink Of liquor
within Is minutes. He asserted that
Wichita, Kansas, was wide open"
Representative Kitchener, asked
Liggett II he would be prepared to
furnish proof when called upon.
Il will be glad to furnish the in
formation II I am called but I will
not be called upon because I have
the proof" the witness replied.
Then Liggett declared that he was
mot a snooper, informer or spy"
and the audience yelled and applaud
ed, many Of the women's voices ring
ing out over those Of the men.
Representative Summers. Of Texas,
interrupted and rebuked the audience.
He said that regardless of how much
applause the witnesses received the
decision Of the members of the com.
mittee would be reached only on the
merits Of the proposition at hand.
Exposes Beer Farms
The witness then said he would give
all his information to the Detroit
grand jury and would not have the
slightest hesitancy in reporting the
derelictions OF duty Of officials.
Swinging his attack to the state Of
Minnesota where he said prohibition
administration is under the direct
supervision Of Andrew Volstead, au-
thor Of the dry law, he declared there
was not q decent speakeasy" In the
city of Minneapolis.
Liggett then spoke of what he de-
scribed as beer FARMS" He said one
was about so miles from Minneapolis
which had been raided while he was
In the city. He added high school
boys and girls Of Minneapolis had
driven down there for 'debauches."
"All of this is taking place right
under the nose of Andrew Volstead,"
he asserted.
The committee recessed at 1880 p.
m, until tomorrow.

sisted that Lincoln had no especial
love for the colored man. He said
Lincoln often told him he was not an
abolitionist. In the presidential cam
paign and war years Lincoln was
called . black Republican, q fanatic
but Billy always knew better"
Mrs. Phoebe Duncan Is Billy the
BARRIERS granddaughter. Her father,
As q boy Of 10 OF such q matter, used
to help In the barber shop.
MY father used to tell US how he
and grandfather were responsible for
Lincoln's beard" she says. Lincoln
asked grandfather'S advise about
trimming It. when he first raised It;
so they put Lincoln In the chair, and
my father got up on Z box and
blocked the beard out. He and grand
father fixed It so that It would make
Lincoln's face look less thin"
Billy the Barber was q good violin
list: and Mrs. Duncan remembers
hearing her father tell how Lincoln
would come to the shop In the eve
ming, to sprawl out In q chair and
listen to the colored barber play.
There Is another barber in the Lin
coin story. Spencer Donnegan, also q
colored man. cut Lincoln,s hair at
times: and hts nephew, George Dom
negan was q small boy In Liucoln's
day: but he can remember seeing
Lincoln In the chair Of .Donnegan's
shop.
II remember. in August Of 1850,
Lincoln made Q big speech here one
day." he says. "Afterward he came
in to get shaved. and while he was In
the chair my uncle said. Say Mr..
Lincoln, I was surprised at that
speech today And Lincoln asked
him what It was that surprised him.
and my uncle told him. Why. you said
II you were president and Congress
passed Z law declaring the black man
the equal Of the white, you'd be the
last man on earth to sign It.
well sir, Lincoln just threw back
his head and laughed, and he. said.
Spence. you're - big . fool Is the
Democrats are And Spence asked
him why, and Lincoln said: Suppose
. law like that u passed. First the
House passes It. and then the Senate,
and then the cabinet deliberates over
1t, and last Of Ill II eoes to the presi-
dent. I'd be the last man to sign It,
