WILSON IN RACE, WALL STREET HEARS.

New York, Dee. 19.—Wall street today got a tip that President Wilson may yet try for a third term. The report was circulated soon after William G. McAdoo had returned from a visit at the white house. McAdoo's sudden trip to Washington fdllowed the announcement of former Ambassador James W. Gerard’s candidacy. Its apparent purpose was to insist either that the president should frankly state if he would run again, or give his public support for the nomination to his SOn in law, Mr. McAdoo dodged all questions as to whether the president will run again and as to whether he (McAdoo) will enter the race. He told friends the president is greatly improved in health and predicted that physically and mentally he would soon be as vigorous as ever. When they asked if tms meant £hat the president would enter the race a third time, the reply came: “No one can speak for the president except the president himself." Mr. McAdoo brushel aside all the queries as to why Barney Baruch, Thomas L. Chadbourn, Nicholas F. Brady and others are pushing Ins campaign. A friend suggested: “Then we cannot nominate you for president just yet?” “Not yet,” answered Mr. McAdoo, blushingly. Friends of Mr. Gerard interpreted what little they learned from Mr. McAdoo as meaning that at just this time the president feels he will be able to take the field again as he did in I£l6. The president has until January 1 to tell the South Dakota democrats whether he. will or will not accept their tender of support. He may reveal his purpose for 1920 in* his message to them. As usual, we have a large stock of Christmas candies and nuts. Get our prices before buying and-save money.—EGEß’S GROCERY.

BOSSY DEVOURS U. S. DYNAMITE.

Washington, Dec. 19.—The cow that burned up Chicago, the cow that jumped over the moon, the cow that raised the fatted calf, and the cow that died on the tune—they will have to recognize an addition to their celebrated quartette now. , ■ She’s the cow that ate up S6O worth of government dynamite out in Willard, Washington, and made the wheels of cfcnpress go round until her owner got S6O. The house paused in its consideration of weightier subjects long enough today to pass the necessary bill. Contributory negligence on the part of government road builders who left the sticks of dynamite where bossy could eat them, was the verdict. Strangely enough, it did not blow up the cow; it only poisoned her, but it nearly blew up the house of representatives.

CLOTHIERS WILL DEVISE METHODS TO SEASE PRICES.

Washington, Dec. 19.—Cabinet members and other high officials who have been assisting Attorney General Palmer in the fight on the cost of living today held their first conference since the coal strike sidetracked all other activities. Reports were received by the conference from S. E. Figg, special assistant to Mr. Palmer, which were said to show continued progress in keeping down prices. “The reports were especially gratifying,” Mr. Palmer said, “taking into consideration the fact that when we began our campaign last summer we were at the high point of supply and the low point of demand, while now we are at the low point of supply and the peak of demand. A graphic representation of living costs would show a very satisfactory curve of price ranges.’ ’ With the approval of the conference, Mr. Palmer is preparing a statement summarizing the results obtained, which probably will be given to the public tomorrow. Mr. Figg, who has been in close touch with procedures on wearing apparel, announced today that at their suggestion a conference will be held here next month, which will undertake to devise means for checking the increase in clothing prices. One of the most important steps to be considered will be the production and marketing of a certain fixed amount of standard, medium priced goods, as an incentive to the public to abandon the era of extravagance which has jfaUowad war prosperity.

CHICAGO DON’T LIKE HOOSIER BRAND OF CATSUP.

Chicago, Dec. 19.—A jury in the federal district court today sustained a government libel warrant 'for condemnation of 1,246 cases of i tomato catsup of the Sterling Products Co., of Evansville, Ind. Eight employes and former em- ' ployes testified,; that decayed to- j I mates were usecrin the catsup. One I former employe said it was not -uncommon to see mice leap from the sorting belt. The company maintained that the catsup was unadulterated and was manufactured with reasonable caution as to clean-' liness and that no decayed tomatoes | were used. District Attorney Clyne said the verdict would have a salutary effect ■ on some twenty-five manufacturers j of food products who were holding their goods from interstate ship- ' ment pending the result of this suit.

CARLISLE GOES BACK TO PRISON IN WYOMING.

High walls of the Wyoming penitentiary once more shut Bill Carlisle, bandit and train robber, from the world. Early yesterday a Union Pacific train —one of the kind Carlisle was wont to rob so debonairly —paused at Rawlins, Wyo., long enough to discharge the bandit and his guards, and they drove up the long, straight hill from the depot to the prison, exciting scarcely any attention. At the door of the prison Carlisle was met by Warden Brine, from whose custody he had escaped November 15th. “Hello, Bill,” was the warden’s greeting. “Howdy, Cap,” replied the bandit. That was all, and Bill Carlisle became again nothing but a number' and so to be known for the remainder of the life sentence from which he had escaped. Since his capture, a short time ago, Carlisle had been in a hospital at Douglas, recuperating from the bullet wound in his chest inflicted by a sheriff in arresting him.

PRODUCTION OF COAL REPORTED ON INCREASE.

Production of coal in the Indiana fields is rapidly increasing, according to reports. The north field, in the vicinity of Terre Haute, on Tuesday, the latest figures available, while the south field, comprising the Green and Sullivan counties' mines, produced 24,054 tons* making a total of 58,279 tons. Practically all mines are at work, with the exception of two in the Clinton field, where the men refuse to accept the terms of the agreement which ended the nation-wide strike. The men at the Fayette mine, who refused to work Wednesday because their working clothes had not been properly dried, returned to work yesterday.
