SUGAR LOBBYISTS . WITNESSES TODAY Tell of the Enormous Expense to Maintain a Bureau in the Capital.

RELEASE OF A SPY

ANGERS SIR GILBERT!

(National News Association) , WASHINGTON, June 12 Before lobby investigators today Paul Chistian, former secretary to former Senator Foster of Louisiana, testified he had engaged in lobbying against free sugar at the request of Senator Ransdell. The Louisiana lobbyist, he said, had co-operated with Truman Palmer, representing beet sugar interests, and the so-called Domestic Sugar Growers' bureau. Truman Palmer, of Chicago, secretary of the United Beet Sugar Industry association, testified he first came to Washington in 1902, when he aided Henry Oxnard in opposing a bill admitting Cuban sugar free. Palmer said his salary was $20,000 a year, and

he estimated the aggregate capital of the beet sugar factories at $84,000,000. Palmer said that it cost over $14,000 to maintain his offices in Washington during April and May. Most of this was spent on publicity. Since November last he has spent over $50,000. Over $15,000 had been spent in publicity and $4,000 in moving pictures in Washington. Sugar on Free List. The Democratic members of the senate finance committee today adopted the free wool provision of the Underwood tariff bill and the free sugar provision. The committee, however reserved action on the time of taking effect of each of these schedules. The glass schedule as reported by the sub committee was adopted. Some slight increases are made in the glass schedule over the rates in the house bill.

Sir Gilbert Parker, the famous novelist and member of parliament, has made a formal demand that the British government make a public explanation of the official action that freed Dr. Armgaard Karl Graves, the German spy, from a Scottish prison long before his term had expired. Graves, who is now in New York, declares that he was released for the purpose of recruiting him in the secret service of the British government, and that as a member of that organization he uncovered a German plan to effect a close union with Japan, ostensibly against the United States.

Mr. Beeson declares that the supervisors will be forced to see that all specifications in road improvement contracts are followed.

EBALL A TROST?

Allegation Made in a St, Louis Suit.

(National News Association)

ST. LOUIS, June 12. A move to

test for the first time in court the

legality of the organization which con

trols professional baseball will be

made in the United States court here by John J. O'Conner, former manager of the St. Louis American league team. A petition asking $25,000 damages and naming each of the eight clubs of the league as being in a trust, has been drawn up by OConner's attorney. It alleges that organized baseball is interstate commerce and as such should be regulated by the federal government with a view to preventing the clubs from making chattels of the ball players.

SooiaJ Life Long Ago. The stately dames of the court of Edward IV. rose with the lark, dined at 11 a. m. and retired to rest at 8 in the evening. Henry VIII. went back to 10 in the morning for dinner and had supper at 4. In Queen Bess" days her maids of honor began the day with a round of beef or red herring and a flagon of ale for breakfast at about 6:30 and dined at 11 and then went to the playhouse in the afternoon not later than 2. sometimes as early as 12:30, according to the order of the

play and the day.

A Question of Etiquette. " 'The horse and the cow is in the field.' " read the teacher. "Mary, what is wrong with that sentence?"

UNDERGROUND ULSTER. Puzzling Relic of Ancient Ways f Living In Ireland. Curious underground passages called "souterrains" exist In many parts of Ulster. They are built or dug a few feet below the ground and laid out with chambers and possible hiding places or bolting holes, according to more or less well defined plans. They are not large enough for a man to stand upright in. He would have to crawl on his bands and knees to explore them or to make use of them in any way. Some districts are honeycombed with them What could they have been

used for? Not for living in, though primitive pottery has been found in them; not for the dead, though some Etruscan burial places were not dissimilar, because no bones have been found; possibly for refugees. Some of the souterrains are fifty to seventy feet long. Irish and local tradition attribute them to the fairies, the good people, the Danes like the Essex Dene-holes, which are probably only chalk pits or. In rare instances, to the Picts, But the Danes referred to by the Irish coun

try people are not the modern Danes, but probably the Tuatha de Danaan, a people, who are said to have lived In Ireland before the coming of the Celts. They are the "fairies" and are said to have been of small stature, like "children," the country people will tell one. To superstition no doubt is owing the preservation of these most puzzling relics of some bygone way of living. London Family Herald.

WOLF HUNTS IN LAPLAND, j Reindeer Must Be Protected a They; Are the Nation's Wealth. The Swedish Lapps are said to live entirely with, by and upon their reindeer. A Lapp who owns a thousand deer Is a rich man. but as taxes are assessed upon the camber of deer he Is inclined to underestimate his herd. The most dangerous enemy of ths herd is the wolf, which can kill any deer. A band of wolves can make a rich Lapp poor. When the snow is deep and soft and it is announced that wolf tracks have been seen in the neighborhood of the deer the swiftest runners on snowshoes prepare for an exciting chase. The wolf may have a start of a mug or two. but the track it leaves In the deep, soft snow in so conspicuous that the hunters can follow It at their best speed. The wolf, though he may run swiftly, has but a slight chance of escaping his pursuers on their snowshoes. Each hunter does his best-to outran the others, for the wolf belongs to the Lapp who strikes the first blow. As soon as the leading banter is close enough to the wolf he gives It a heavy blow across the loins with his strong, spiked snowshoe staff. If there are other wolves to be pursued he kills It outright. If not, he disables it and waits till all the hunters have arrived before giving the death stroke. -Pittsburgh Press.

Elmer Griffin, of Milton, now confined in the county jail in default of $300 bond, will be tried in the Wayne circuit court according to Prosecutor Reller. Griffin was hired to unload coal for John McConnell at ten cents per ton. After he had unloaded several tons his employer said the work was not being done fast enough. Griffin said if his work were not satisfactory he would "take his money." McConnell refused to pay him. it is said, and threatened to have the work done by a gang of laborers who were to work by the hour and the niey paid them for their services was to be subtracted from the money earned by Griffin. This angered Griffin and he Is said to have threatened the life of McConnell.
