Washington, I). C.— Not a little consternation prevails in the Demo­ cratic camp at Wa*hington because of the fact that Southern manufacturers and producers, dissatisfied with the terms of the Underwood bill, are ap­ pealing to Republican senator* for re­ lief. Thi* I* something that ha* been done before, but never in the past has the appeal from the South been a* strong a* now, due to the fact that the South is becoming more and more a manufacturing section. Aside from the two senators from Ixiuisiana, none of the Southern Dem­ ocrat* in the senate expect to break with their party when it come* to vot­ ing on the tariff bill, yet it i* true that many Southern senator* are pro­ tectionist* at heart, though they do not so style themselves. They speak of advocating "tariff for revenue,” but their preference is always for a tariff on the products of their particu­ lar states, and they are not much con­ cerned about getting revenue from the products of other states or sections. While no one expects the South to replace any of it* sitting Democratic senators with Republicans, there is a genera) fear among senator* from that section, and especially among those whose terms expire in two years, that they may be replaced by other Demo­ crats who will be less inclined to vote against local interests. IDAHO BRIDGES THREATENED False Pier* Carried Away at Lewis­ ton and Trains Halted. Lewiston, Idaho—All the false piers of the Northern Pacific Clearwater bridge at Spalding have been swept away by the high water and its bridge at Kamiah is also out of line. The Holbrook Island bridge at Lewiston over a branch of the Clearwater is also expected to go out at any minute. Hundreds of cords of drift are piled against the Spalding bridge and dyna­ mite is being used to loosen the jam. No trains are passing over the bridge and Superintendent Burt, with two piledrivers and a work train is on the scene directing the work. Both the Snake and Clearwater are rising rapidly and untold damage may follow if present weather conditions continue. KINDLY LETTERS SELL BEST WILL EXHIBIT ART TREASURES $40,000,000 Insurance Placed on Morgan’s Collection. Real Value Unknown—4100 Object* to Be Shown to Public- Many Others Are In London. New York — Although the precise value of the Morgan art collection at the Metropolitan Museum wa* not ob­ tainable, it wa* learned that it had been insured by J. P. Morgan as executor of hi* father’s will for $20,- 000,000. Thi* figure, however, doe* not rep­ resent the full value of the collection, but only the maximum of insurance procurable throughout the world on that particular risk in that particular building. Agent* of the Morgan estate have been trying throughout the world for additional insurance without success, and have now come to the conclusion that they have obtained about all the insurance possible on the collection. It developes that the late J. P. Mor­ gan never insured his art objects or seemed to see any necessity for doing so. The $20,000,000 thus obtained in in­ surance, however, does not cover the total insurance on the art collections left by Mr. Morgan. An additional $10,000,000 of insurance has been ob­ tained on the art collection in Mr. Morgan's private gallery on Thirty­ sixth street. Another $10,000,000 of insurance has been obtained by Mr. Morgan a* trustee on the art collection in his father’s London house at Princess Gate. This would bring the total of insurance so far obtained on the chief Morgan art collections up to $40,000,- 000. The art treasures are to be placed on view for the American public as soon as arrangements can be com­ pleted, it was announced at the Metro­ politan Muesum of Art. The art ob­ jects, numbering about 4,100, will be exhibited temporarily in one of the museum’s new wings, early in 1914, according to present plans. Martha Washington’* Brings $300; TOOK DYNAMITE FOR PAINT Mrs. Lincoln’s Complaint $50. New York—The bitter letters which Mrs. Lincoln, widow of Abraham Lin­ coln, wrote more than 40 years ago, when in despair of getting congress to pass an appropriation for her assist­ ance, were sold at auction Thursday. Most of the letters went to dealers for less than $50. A letter in which Mrs. Lincoln offered to sell a black lace dress which cost over $2500, brought $30. The most acrimonius letter of all, one in which Mrs. Lincoln wrote that General Grant and his wife treat­ ed her with “utter heartlessness,” brought $50, the best price of the lot. A letter of Martha Washington, a simple, kindly letter to an old friend, with love and kisses and remem­ brances, sold for $300. Mr*. Wilson After Slums. Washington, D. C.—Washington’s slums will be cleaned out, if the in­ fluence and active work of the White House family count for anything. Mrs. Wilson made several quiet trips of inspection through the cap­ ital’s unsightly alleys this week, and joined other prominent women, includ­ ing the wives of several senators and representatives, in attending a meet­ ing of the women’s department of the National Civic Federation. There a letter was read from the President approving the movement for wiping out disreputable alleys and providing sanitary homes at lower rentals for the poor. H. M. Flagler’s Will Filed. St. Augustine, Fla.—Henry M. Flag­ ler’s will was filed Thursday and under it J. R. Parrott is to retain the head of the Florida East Coast railroad so long as he may desire. The estate is estimated to be worth between $60,- 000,000 and $70,000,000, and most of | it goes to the widow. The son. Harry, will receive 5000 shares of Standard Oil company of New Jersey stock. J. R. Parrott, W. H. Beardsley and William Keenan, a brother of Mrs. Flagler, are named trustees under the will. Suffrage Bill Is Vetoed. Madison, Wis.—Governor McGovern on Thursday vetoed the bill ordering a referendum in 1914 on the question of extending the ballot to women in Wis­ consin. The governor objects to the bill on the ground that, suffrage hav­ ing been defeated by a majority of ■92,000 in Wisconsin last November, another referedum on the subject so soon would be unwise and would re­ sult only in a more emphatic rejec­ tion. Nail Will Stay. Commoner Editor Is Choice. When a wall is so soft that it will not hold a picture nail, mix a little plaster of pari* in a teacup, enlarge the hole to a fair size and insert the plaster, and, a minute after, the nail —and let it dry. The nail will be perfectly secure after it has dried. Washington, D. C.—Richard L. Metcalf, editor of the Commoner, at Lincoln, Neb., has been recommended by Secretary Bryan to be a member of the Philippine commission. It is be­ lieved that the appointment soon will be made. Succulent Grape-fruit. Bomb in Public Library. A fellow by the name of Baer, per­ haps the original Bear, makes that remark that "a grapefruit is a lemon that had a chance and took advantage of it”—The Co-op-tor. Sheffield, England—An ingeniously constructed bomb, bearing the inscrip­ tion, “Vates-ffor women,” was found in the public library here Thursday. The bomb wa* plunged into water. Witnesses Show Danger of Alleged Plot Against Strikers. Boston—Another big crowd listened Thursday to the evidence adduced by District Attorney Pelletier in support of the charge that William Wood, president of the American Woolen company, and Frederick F. Atteaux, a dye manufacturer, conspired with others to “plant” dynamite at Law­ rence to cast suspicion upon the strik­ ing textile operatives. The danger of the “plant” was il­ lustrated in the testimony of Josef Assaf, a Syrian painter of Lawrence, in whose home some of the explosive was placed. Assaf said that when he opened the package he thought the sticks might be some new form of paint. He tried to burn a stick and then smelled of the scorched portion. Later on, he showed the sticks to a physician, who told him it was dyna­ mite. He intended taking it to the police station, and hid it for safe keeping in his bedroom, where it was found later by the police who arrested him. Allies Must Sign Treaty. London—The growing displeasure in diplomatic circles of the great powers at the attitude of Greece and Servis found expression here in what practi­ cally amounts to an ultimatum which Sir Edward Grey, the British secretary of foreign affairs delivered to the del­ egates of the belligerents. The com­ munication, which was couched in strong phrases, without ambiguity, made it clear that enough time had been spent in futile discussions of the peace settlement and that the moment had arrived for signing the treaty. T. R. “Extremely Temperate. Marquette, Mich.—Men who have been associated with Colonel Roose­ velt in public and private life, who met him on the Nile when he returned from his African hunting trip, and newspaper men who accompanied him on his various political campaigns, testified Thursday in Colonel Theodore Roosevelt’s libel suit against George Newett, a newspaper owner of Ish­ peming, Mich., that the ex-president not only was not a drunkard, but that he wa* notably and extremely temper­ ate in the use of intoxicants. Coaster Brake Trust Fined. Rochester, N. Y.—Fines aggregat­ ing $81,500 were imposed in the Unit- ted State* district court by Judge John R. Hazel, of Buffalo, in the cases of defendants in the government’s ac­ tion against the so-called "coaster brake trust,” for violation of the Sherman law. Six corporations and eight individual* pleaded guilty to charge* of conspiring to restrain trade and attempting to monopolize domes­ tic and foreign trade. Army Aviator Killed. Montrose, Scotland—Lieutenant Des Mond Larthur, of the army flying corps, was killed near here while prac­ ticing aeroplane reconnaissance* with I other officer*. He was flying at a height of 3000 feet when the wing* of I hi* machine collapsed.
