THE niCmiOXD PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, APRIL 17, 1911

A STORMY SESSION WAS OPENED TODAY Congress of Daughters of ' American Revolution to Be a Lively One. 1 tAinerlian News Kervlec) Wabhlwtton, April 17. -Tho twentieth continental congress of the Daughters of the American Ho volution convened today In the new Memorial Continental hall. Several thousand delegates and other visitors from all tho states of the union were on hand for thfl opening. Tho principal features of the initial scaMon. following the customary exchange of greetings were the address of the president general, Mrs. Matthew T. Scott of Illinois and the annual rcxrts of the other officers. The latter showed a gratifying growth In the memhcrxhlii of the society during the past year. The organization now has eleven hundred chapters with a membership of 6,07t. The delegates will be formally received by the president and Mrs. Taft tit the White House on Wednesday afternoon. This evening the delegates, with other members of the organization and of the Sons of tho American Revolution will be given a reception by President-General Mrs. Fcott. Tuesday evening has been reiierved for meetings of state delegations. Are to Be Squalls. When th congress was called to order today by Mrs. Matthew Scott of Illinois, the president-general, it marked the opening of what is expected to be one of the stormiest sessions in tho history of the order. Questions of "polities" have resulted in the formation of factions, each with its own Ideas, radically different from those of Its opponents. Naturally, Interest centers chiefly In 1ho election of officers, with Mrs. Kcott, the presiding officer, in the strategic point of the conflict. Mrs. William Cummings Story of New York, defeated candidate for president general at the last congress, will "carry the flght" to Mrs. Scott and her adherents. Sho has raised the cry of "oligarchy" and declares that Mrs. Scott Is and has been attempting, through the medium of the governing board, to "rule the society against Its constitution." As part of the campaign of Mrs. Story's friends in her behalf. 100,000 letters have been sent to the members in the various states petitioning their support in the movement to "dethrone tho ruler and her clique." The eruption Is an old one and has 1een kept up continuously since Mrs. Story's defeat for tho chief office. The warring factions at present appear about equally divided as to numbers with tho result that a lively battle of votes will form the climax when the ballot is taken Thursday. No end of electioneering will be done before that time, however, there also be a fight on the proposed amendments to the constitution of the organization. All In all, thero are spirited times promised. Organized In 1890. The Daughters of the American Revolution was organized in 1S90 In this city. Its founders were Miss Mary Itesha ot Kentucky. Miss Kugenia Washington of Virginia (both now dead), and Mrs. Ellen Hardin Wolvorth of this city. Mrs. Mary Lockwood a prominent figure in tho congress, who is sometimes referred to ns a founder, was not present at the first meeting, but is recognized as one of the quartet who contributed more than any other to tho society's formation. The three founders were presented several years ago with jewelled medals valued at upwards of St.ooo fnd Mrs. Lock wood was given a special Jewelled medal for her assistance in placing the congress on a permanent basis. Tho story of the formation or the daughters, as told by one of the founders, is interesting. Application was made by a number of women of the District of Columbia to the Sons of the American Revolution, for permission to form an auxiliary body to .that society. After long deliberation lt was decided not to let the women Iform such an organization. The call "ai then sent out by the three founders for the purpose of establishing their own society. Today the D. A. It. has outstripped the other organization by many thousands of members. As a monument to its achievements the society owns one of the handsomest buildings in Washington Continental Memorial hall, where the present congress is held. The building and grounds were purchased through the efforts of the congress, without any outside aid. About S.,000 women contributed. The largest single do

nation was from Mrs. A. II. Manson of Connecticut, who forwarded her check for $6,000 to the treasurer. Other contributions came through the medium of the chapters located In the various states of which there are several hundred. A Great Show Place. Tho present home of the congress was not completed until last March,

although meetings of the congress have been held in it during the past six years. It is one of the show places of Washington, and coBt $300. o0. The various rooms In the building were furnished by chapters In Ohio. Illinois. Texas, Alabama. Delaware. Michigan. Maryland. District of Columbia. New York. California and New Jersey. The room occupied by the New Jersey delegation Is of special Interest. It is paneled from oak taken from the old British frigate Augusta, which was sunk In the Red Dank liver during Revolutionary days, by an American schooner. Five years ago the old frigate was raised from the mud, where she had lain all these years and was torn to pieces. The wood was brought to Washington and used In trimming the room. Its Management.

MASTER GUN-MAKER QUITS ACTIVE WORK

& '&r'"S' I '

American News Service) London, April 1". Few men have crowded more Into seventy-one years of life than Sir Hiram Maxim, who is retiring from the directorship of the great business which bears his name. More than half a century has passed since he put together his first gun, a pea-shooter, in his father's workshop at Sangerville village, in Maine, and eschewed Fenimore Cooper to revel in Comstock's "Natural Philosophy." His scanty schooling over the budding inventor had two spells as apprentice to coach-huildera before he began his roaming In search of fortune. He was in turn mechanic, foreman in carriage works and in a surgical instrument factory: and saved enough In these lowly roles to buy a house and farm for his father. Hut he had to wait until he had passed into the thirties before he patented his gasgcneratln; apparatus, and later an im provement in electric lamps, and got a firm footing on the road to fame and fortunt. At forty-four he was settled in Kngland, with a gun factory of his own in Hatton-garden. a snug estate, and a fortune in shares. country is represented in the congress by at least ono delegate and a state regent, who with other state regents and tho national officers, comprise a national board, the governing body of the congress. The officers of the con gress are the president-general, twenty-five vice presidents, ten of whom arc elected each year for a term of two years; a vice president In charge of organization, chaplain, historian, assistant historian, registrar, recording and corresponding secretaries and a librarian. All officers are elected for a term of two years and cannot serve more than two terms consecutively. Mrs. Scott who is finishing her first term as president-general, until two years ago never made a public address. Since her election she has rivaled the noted politicians of the day in forensic ability. She has visited every chapter in the United States made addresses before civic and commercial organizations, generally entered Into a public career, and has developed a business instinct that has taken her out of the purely social class of women. Twenty years ago, Mrs. Scott was widowed and it was necessary for her to assume personal charge of the Scott estate. Since that time she has trebled the large fortune left by her husband. She is president of several Industrial concerns in the middle west, a director in several banks, and a scientific farmer of large interests. She owns 2.000 acres of land in Illinois to which she gives her personal attention. Her business ability was demonstrated In her management of the business affairs of Continental Memorial hall when the contractors for the building threatened to sue the society over disputed items in their bill. Mrs. Scott finally closed up the affairs to the satisfaction both of the congress and of the contractors. CARD OF THANKS To the Officers and Hrothers of the R. of R. T.: We wish to extend our sincere thanks for the beautiful floral offerings sent to us at the time of the death of our beloved son. Mr. and Mrs. (1. J. Duke. WILL PASS SENATE Favors Resolution to Reopen Lorimer Case. (American News Scrvke) Washington. April 17. The I.afollette resolution for a new Investigation of the IxH'imer case is regarded new as certain to pass the senate. Supporters of the Illinois senator have los-t their nerve. Today one of the senators who voted for Ijorimer nt tho last session has given out confidentially to anti lxirinier colleagues that he will hereafter vote with them. This senator stated that he and others who entertain his sentiment say they can no longer stand out against a new vote to retain Lorimer in his seat. JAS. LAMB NOT BY ANY MEANS PAUPER James Limb whose home about four miles south of the city was burned to the ground, declares the Palladium was misinformed regarding the circumstances of the family. He says that he owns property here and In Ohio and that his children are grown. Th Palladium declared Mr. Iamb was In destitute circumstances as a result of the fire. This, it is ascertained, is incorrect.

CANADIAN TARIFF FIGHT COMMENCED!

Rep. Dalzell, Leading Standpatter, Opposes Reciprocity Bill. (American News Service) Washington. April 17. The fight on Canadian reciprocity opened in the house today under the leadership of John Dalzell of Pennsylvania, the leading stand pat member of the ways and means committee. Despite the protests of the high protectionists the bill is expected to pass by the middle of next week with the votes of the practically united democracy and a large contingent, of Republicans. Representative Kitchin of North Carolina, opened the debate for the Democrats in favor of the reciprocity bill. The frequent applause Kitchin received from the galleries testified to the iopularity of the measure. Mr. Kitchin admitted the bill was a blow said he welcomed all such blows at the agricultural trust, paper trust, lumber trust, meat trust and dozens of other trusts that had sprung up under the protective system. Mr. Kitchin said an attempt was being made to frighten the farmers by false argument, as had been done by Republicans in the past. He claimed every intelligent farmer knew the duty on wheat was of no benefit to him. as the price of wheat was controlled in Liverpool and was based on the surplus of the world. Representative Davis of Minnesota said the highest grades of Minnesota wheat were not put in export trade, but were milled at home because of their superiority. "If that be so," answered Kitchin, "you need no duty to protect the growers of this wheat. Its superiority will hold it on the market at the highest price." SIGNS OF DEMOCRATIC SPLIT Washington, April 17. That there are signs of a serious split in the Democratic majority is apparent to members of both sides of the house. This was shown in the debate on the Rucker bill providing for publicity of campaign funds. After having been forced by a combination of the solid minority and 52 of their own party to accept the Jackson amendment extending publicity of campaign contributions to primary elections, the Democratic leaders of the house yesterday cracked the whip and drove half of the recalcitrants of their own party back into line, eliminated the objectionable Jackson amendment and with the support of every vote in the house, passed the Rucker ante-election campaign publicity measure. The vote on tho Jackson amendment showed, however, that there are Insurgent Democrats, as well as Republican insurgents, and that all is not going to be plain sailing for Speaker Champ Clark and the other Democratic leaders. There are perhaps a dozen who will vote against the bill on final passage because of campaign pledges. Chairman Underwood and other Democratic leaders say today that the bill should be sent to the senate at the earliest practicable moment as the fight in the upper chamber may be prolonged and bitter. It is yet problematical whether the senate will approve the bill, notwithstanding the fact that congress was convened in extra session for its express consideration. The agricultural interests of the mid dle west are opposed to the ratification of the agreement and this has placed the senators from those states on the defensive. 8 DREADNAUGHTS BEING REPAIRED ("American News Service) Boston.

ADVICE TO FARMERS

Contained in Books Distributed by Penn. Ry. Frobably more elaborate than any piece of farming literature ever issued by a railroad is a book entitled 'increase the Crop Per Acre," which the Pennsylvania railroad company is to distribute throughout the territory traversed by its lines. The book, which describes the use of explosives in farming, has thirty-six full page and seventeen part page illustrations. With this latest addition to its agricultural literature the Pennsylvania railroad now has on hand for distribution elevi pamphlets, including "Potato Culture," "Alfalfa," "Use of Lime on Land," "Seed Grain Suggestions," "Orchard Primers Planting. Pruning, Spraying and Cultivation," "The Pennsylvania Railroad and the Farmer," and "Good Roads at Low Cost." "Increase the Crop Per Acre," in 112 pages, tells of the many economies which may be effected on a farm by the use of dynamite. The first chapter describes methods of "Clearing the Land," the next "Getting the Farm in Shape," then "Preparing the Land for Crops," and last "Keeping Up the Farm." Among the subjects treated in the Pennsylvania's "dynamite" booklet are blasting stumps and boulders, felling trees, draining swamps, grading roads, sinking wells and digging post holes, blasting hard pan, and other soils, breaking up ice gorges, starting log jams and similar ones. For more than three years the Pennsylvania railroad has been active in agricultural extension and good roads work. The company recently announced that it would be unceasing in its efforts to increase the production of farm crops along its lines. In the booklets just issued, the last chapter, "The Pennsylvania Railroad and the Farmer," describes the work it is trying to do. In closing, the manage ment says: "What does it mean to the railroad? It means there will be more fertilizers to haul, more farm implements, more raw material from which these tools are made, more crops to haul, and more passengers to carry; it means that the railroad will be doing its duty to the public, to its stockholders in the intelligent exercise of its initiative, and when reduced to a finality, that the railroad is performing its share of the work which must be done by the newly formed partnership, Railroad and Farmer, if agricultural communities are to progress and prosper."

CROW EGG BOUNTY IS PROVIDED FOR By New Statute, but County Auditor Coe Enters a Protest.

In a short time County Auditor, Demas Coe, will probably start on a still hunt for a deputy who is an expert on crow eggs. Such a deputy is not needed not but win be in a short time just as son as the county commissioners in compliance witli an act of the last legislature, make an appropriation out of which to pay bounties for crow- eggs and heads. The new crow industry will undoubtedly develop to large proportions, especially if the breed can be so improved that Xfrs. Crow will lay, as soine chickens do, 200 eggs a year. Just as- soon as the county makes this appropriation, the quotation on crow s ovi (from the Latin) will be sixty cents a dozen, with the county auditor's office as the market place. Quotations on the heads will be much reduced; and perhaps for this very reason -the crow will no longer be popular on millinery, as the county can on ly pay five cents each for a head or the whole body of a dead crow. These quotations are fixed, so any one desiring to go into the industry need have no apprehension as to the market stability. All the producer needs to be posted on is to swear that he killed the crow within the county or secured the eggs from nests somewhere in the bailiwick. The court house will be no market place for crow's eggs in less quantities than ten. The county auditor is hoping that the commissioners will never authorize the bounty. He says he will not ask for the appropriation because his office is neither a storage room nor a museum. OWNERS OF AUTOS MUCH INTERESTED Much interest, particularly on the part of automobile owners is center ed in the case of A. J. Neff against; Perry .T. Moss for $10,000 damages for personal injures, which will begin in the Wayne circuit court Tuesday. In the complaint, Neff alleges that as he was alighting from a street car at Eighth and Main streets on last July 4, he was struck by the automobile driven by Mr. Moss. His injuries were severe and because of his age were likewise considered serious. He is a cobbler. The trial will be before the petit jury of the circuit court. Attorneys Robbins and Robbins and Johnson represent the defendant, while attorneys T. J. Study and Gardner and Jessup are for the complainant. About seventy witnesses have been ordered to appear in court to testify. Dry and Moist Air. A cnbic foot of dry air weighs more than a cubic foot of moist air at the same temperature and pressure. The addition of vapor to a cubic foot of dry air enlarges the volume of the mixture if the air is free to expand, as in the atmosphere, and as the vapor has only about two-tbiids the density of dry air at the same temperature and pressure the density of the mixture is less than that of dry air.

USED FOR EXAMPLE

For Benefit of SultanAsks Damages. -She (American News Service) Constantinople. April 17. The unpleasant experience of having been unwillingly utilized to demonstrate, for the benefit of fie ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid the ease with which a human being's appendix can be removed is the ground on which a lady named Mile. Kayser is claiming damages from the deposed Sultan's surgeons. It is said that when one of Abdul Hamid's daughters was suffering from appendicitis, the ox-Sultan refused to allow her to undergo the grave risks of -an operation unless he were satisfied by a preliminary demonstration that it could be performed successfully. To overcome his fears, it is alleged, Abdul Hamid's surgeons thereupon operated upon Mile Kayser, who was a patient in the Hamidieh hospital at Salonica, removing her appendix, though she was not afflicted with appendicitis, in order to convince the ex-Sultan by this exhibition of their skill that the princess would run no great risk in submitting to an operation at their hands.
