WATSON FIGHT STIRS CAPITAL

WASHINGTON IS INTERESTED Labor Union Endorses Watson’s Work. Washington, Sp’c’l.—Leaders in Congress are expressing keen interest at the prospect of the return of “Jim” Watson to Washington as the Junior Senator from Indiana. When the Republicans last held sway in the nation’s councils, Watson achieved an enviable reputation for effective work. Even the few who did not like him had to acknowledge his geniuß for getting things done. When Theodore Roosevelt and "Uncle Joe” Cannon might almost have been put in jail for what they thought of each other and yet one was President and the other Speaker of the House, someone had to serve as emissary between Congress and the White House. Watson was that man. Roosevelt liked him, in spite of the good natured swats the Indiana Congressman would occasionally hand out in choice Watsonese. Republican Senators in Congress, who have been having a hard enough

HON. JAMES E. WATSON.

time at best, say they need the kind of help Watson will give them at this critical time in national legislation. Few men, if any, know Senatorial and Congressional practice as well as Watson. As Republican whip of the House, which means that the whip is virtually the “Speaker of the House on the floor,” Watson made a record in legislation. One of his principal hobbies was labor legislation, which in a turbulent time, he steered to enactment through many a gale and past many a rock. Recognizing this, the Plate Printers "Union of Washington passed resolutions characterizing Watson as "the champion of the legislative measures in which organized labor generally was interested.” The plate printers said they esteemed “Mr. Watson as one of the tried and true friend of organized labor,” in whom they had ‘great interest and pride and who, like Lincoln, delights in serving the common people.” The plate printers have published a list of a score or more specific labor measures which Watson either himself put through, or supported.

BIRD PROTECTION PRACTICAL

Dollar-and-Cents Value to Farmer* Now Recognized. The protection of birds has been put on a practical basis. The dollar-and-cents value of the feathered creatures to the American farmer and the country generally is now the basis of the bird protection movement in America. The man who has made it so is T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the Nar tional Association of .Audubon Societies, New York City. For years bird protection was based on sentiment and sympathy. Now the bird protection movement is on a business basis. For instance, the wires recently brought the news that the quail of Minnesota and Kansas ware starving by thousands on account of deep snows. Pearson immediately telegraphed S2OO to each state to buy grain to feed the quail and he secured permission from the Postmaster General for the rural free delivery carriers to distribute it. On discovering that egret plumes were being smuggled in great number from Florida to New York City, he made a special trip to Washington and got the attorney general of the United States after tha plume pirates. Pearson is telling school children how to build bird-houses and bring song birds back to the home. He la going after the negro in the South and foreigners in the North whose shotguns, he says, have decimated the former number of songsters. Hsl, is raising money to pay wardens to protect the birds where they breed and now is starting a movement to make the cemeteries of the country sanctuaries where birds may feel safe from hunters and prowling cats. He is also giving a little attention on the side to Tabby, as h bird destroyer. Pearson, from his office at 1974 Broadway, New York City, is directing the bird protection movement in America. It is estimated he is saving the country many thousands of dollars a year by his practical methods. __

BOWEN IS DENIED AID OF “POOR MAN'S” ACT

Bank Head Convicted of Embezzlement Will Ask Supreme Court to Make County Pay Costs. Noblesville, Ind., Feb. 22.—Special Judge Purvis came here from Tipton this afternoon and overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of George Bowen, former president of the failed Hamilton Trust Company who was recently convicted of embezzlement. The application for a rehearing was only formal, the defense permitting the court to rule on the motion without argument. The defonadnt’s attorneys then gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court. Bowen asked the court to order the transcript of the evidence paid by the county under, the “poor man’s” act, but the court refused. The defendant’s attorneys then,said they would go to the supreme court and ask for a writ of mandate requiring Hamilton county to pay this expense, which is estimated at S9OO. At a special meeting of vthe county council today, $2,500 was appropriated to employ special prosecutors in the remainder of the bank cases to be tried in this county. Bowen was released under $5,000 bond pending the decision of the higher court. .

$100 Is Value Placed Upon Old Delphi Court House.

The result of the appraisement of the old Delphi courthouse, which is to be replaced with a new one in tne near future, created a surprise as well as a great deal of amusement. After several hours of consultation the appraisers placed a valuation of SIOO upon the old structure. This is considered a just appraisement, for although anyone would acknowledge that tlhe building and its appurtenances were worth more than SIOO as it stands, the expenditure that would be involved in the removal justifies the valuation by the appraisers.

GREAT CORN LOSS IN MID-WEST PREDICTED

Farmers of Indiana and Adjoining States In For Big Damage*, As Warm Weather May Ruin. Chicago, Feb. 22.—A loss of many millions of dollars in corn is threatening the farmers of the northern corn belt, comprising the states of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa, South Dakota and portions of Nebraska and Kansas, according to reports that are current at the board of trade. Millions of acres of corn which failed to ripen properly because of the‘wet weather of the summer were nipped by the frost before hardening. The com remained in a soft condition through the winter and now the impending warm weather threatens to ruin it before it can be shipped to market. A serious car shortage throughout the entire west increases the probability of a great loss. Thousands of freight cars belonging to the western roads are tied up in the eastern seaport congestion, and the eastern railroads are compelled to use them for storage purposes until foreign ports can be cleared. Elevator men in the west consider the condition so precarious that they are testing every wagon load of com brought in, according to reports. The price paid to farmers in lowa varies from S 5 to 50 cents a, bushel, according to the wagon load. Where good com normally tests 13 per cent moisture, some of it now runs to 50 per cent moisture.

Winamac Air Pilot Held For Theft of Automobile.

Farnkfort police Sunday arrested Charles Merritt, at Winamac, a young man who made balloon ascensions at various places. He is thought to be one of two young men conducting a wholesale system of automobile stealing. The other person is his brother, Zinn Merritt, who is at large. The Ford car which Merritt had in his possession is the one stolen from James Millard at Wolcott several weeks ago. Merritt claims to have purchased it from his brother. Zinn has a car with him which was taken from a hitchrack in Frankfort last Thursday night. Merritt has been lodged in jail at Monticello to He entered a plea of not guilty before Judge WaSon Tuesday morning.

Comrade Fox still holds the mail job, notwithstanding his resignation of several weeks ago. Bids were advertised for and were made but Uncle Sam’s postoffice department grinds with remarkable slowness in every respect except for throwing out republican postmasters on flimsy charges and while a half dozen oil more who made bids are anxiously waiting to see who gets the job, Comrade is unwillingly carrying the mail. Even his horse objected to his doing go and the latter part of January made such a vigorous kick that the > front end of the mail wagon was damaged and Comrade suffered a badly bruised leg.
