Fred Thompson, night clerk at the
Laclede hotel, St. Louis, Is asking his
friends to believe this one:
"About 8 o'clock the other night,"
Thompson says, "a tall, rangy ruralite
entered the lobby of the hotel and ap
proached the desk. After I had fixed
him up with a room be asked me if I
would take care of some money for
him. I told him I would be glad to
put It In the safe. He fished down In
his trousers pocket and produced a

am going out for a little while and 1
don't want to take any chances with
these city slickers.'
"I kept my face straight and as
sured him It would be safe on his
return. He started to leave and then
turned around and asked how late we
kept open.
"'Oh, I'll be here when you get
back.' I told him.
" 'Well, I don't know,' he replied, 'I
calculate I'll be pretty late. Most 10
o'clock, likely.'
"I assured him I would be on deck,
but he did not seem satisfied. After
pondering a few moments he asked:
" 'Could I see Mr. LacledeT'
"That had me going for a few min

Mr. Laclede had gone to bed."
Pierre Laolede, the founder of St.
Louis, for whom the hotel was named,
died In 1878.

DRASTIC MILITARY
BILL INTRODUCED
Senate Measure Stronger Than
Administration Nad Asked.
JMwb. f
GARRISON PLAN PRACTICALLY RETAINED
Army and National Guard Virtually
Doubled in Strength New In
ducements for Recruits.
Washington, D. C The first of the
national preparedness measures to
reach either house of congress for con
sideration was introduced in the senate
Saturday by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the military committee,
which perfected it after weeks of
hearings and conferences. It proposes
an even more sweeping change in mili
tary policy than that outlined by Pres
ident Wilson in his annual message,
and was described by Mr. Chamberlain
as the most comprehensive piece of
military legislation ever offered in
congress.
All of the elementary administration
army plans prepared by ex-Secretary
Garrison are retained, although in al
tered form, and additional proposals
for organization of industrial reserves
in peace times go even further than
the administration had suggested.
The house committee's bill was
introduced Monday. There is no vital
difference between the two measures
and members of both committees be
lieve that when the final bill, which
will be agreed on in joint conference
committee, has passed both houses,
the President will be able to afix his
signature to a measure that will do
more than he has asked toward build
ing up an adequate National defense.
Aside from its plan virtually to
double the Army and National guard,
the senate bill has four striking fea
tures. One of these authorizes Feder
al volunteer forces in peace times, the
object Bought by Secretary Garrison
with his continental army plan. An
other mobilizes all whose callings fit
them for special duty. The third
Federalizes the National guard and,
the fourth contemplates training offi
cers from among graduates of military
schools and colleges.
For the regular Army the bill pro
vides a peace strength within five
years of 178,000 men of all arms, or
approximately 165,000 righting troopB.
The percentage of men in each com
pany, battery or troop at peace
strength would be increased in the in
terests of efficiency, and the full war
strength would be 225,000 men. The
Amy would consist of 65 infantry, 26
cavalry and 21 field artillery regiments
in addition to the staff and other spe
cial corps and coast artillery.
Colonel House Is Back From
European War Zone
New York Colonel E. M. House,
who sailed for Europe December 28
on a confidential mission for President
Wilson, arrived here Sunday on the
steamship Rotterdam from Falmouth.
Colonel House declined to comment
on his mission or what he had seen or
done while abroad, reiterating the
statement he had made prior to leav
ing here in December, . that his mis
sion was to convey to some of the
American ambassadors information
having to do with international ques
tions that could not be supplied them
by cable or letter.
Asked if he had noticed any marked
change in the attitude of Europe to
ward the United States since his prev
ious trip, Colonel House said :
'Reports of an unfavorable attitude
toward the United States by the peo
ple of Europe are exaggerated. At
least, I heard no criticism in any of
the countries I visited. I will say al
so that we should remember that the
people of the belligerent nations are
iiving with their nerves on edge and
we should make allowances according
ly." Germans Renew Attack on
Verdun With No Gains
Paris Fighting of great violence
continues at Douaumont, in the Ver
dun region, the war office announced
Sunday. The Germans made a heavy
attack against the French front along
the line from the Haudremont wood to
Douaumont fort. This assault, the
statement Bays, was repulsed,
It is announced semi-ofncially that
the battle at Verdun continued Sunday
throughout the day with the same in
tensity and without causing any
change in the respective positions of
the opposing armies.
Zeppelins Raid England.
London A Zeppelin raid took place
Sunday night, when two hostile air
ships crossed over the northeast coast
of England. The official statement
announcing the raid gives no informa
tion as to the damage done. "At the
time of this report," the statement
continues, "their movements have not
been clearly defined. Some bombs were
dropped, which fell into the sea near
the shore, but information is not yet
available as to whether any damage
was done on land. A further com
munication will be issued later."
New Coin Design Coming.
Washington, D. C Within the next
few months the treasury will begin
coinage of new half dollars, 25-cent
and 10-cent pieces. Designs of these
coins must be changed, by law, every
25 years, and the present 25-year per
iod ends with 1916. The designs for
the new coins hava not been completed
and the dies will not be ready for two
months, according to a statement by
Director of the Mint Woolley. Noth
ing will be made public concerning
the type of designs until the dies are
ready.

A citizen was standing on a street
corner looking a bit depressed when a
friend sauntered along.
What seems to be the trouble, old
man?" solicitously queried the latter,
extending the sympathetic hand,. "You
are a sight like sad scenery."
I have Just had something of a
Jolt," answered the sad one. "I was
bequeathed a silver service as the
solid thing a few weeks ago, and now
I know it is only plated ware."
"Sorry to hear that, old fellow," re
turned the friend. "But you may be

Jolt For The Motorist.
Before motoring became as popular
as it Is today a man was driving a big

standing In the middle of the road.
"Hold on there, mister!" cried the
man, wildly waving his arms as the
car approached "I want to talk to
ye!"
"What's the matter with you coun
try constables?" angrily shouted the
automobilist, bringing his macmne to
a standstill. "I wasn't going at a rate
of over 20 miles an hour!."
"I ain't no country constable, mis
ter," was the rejoinder of the man.

Electric Door Bell Made For House
Cat.
When a cat owned by the keeper of
the Platte Fougere lighthouse on the
Island of Guernsey wishes to enter
its master's dwelling it rings an elec
tric bell to summon a member of the
household to the door. This has been
made possible by the construction,
near the bottom of a door, of a shelf
which actuates a switch when a light
weight is placed upon It. Thus, when
the cat jumps onto this small ledge,
which Is supported by a bracket, the
circuit Is closed. From the March

Ordinary Capacity of Vessel Largely
Exceeded on Account of Short
Voyage Mostly Soldiers.
Paris It was announced at the
French ministry of marine Saturday
that there were nearly 4000 men on
board the French auxiliary cruiser
Provence when she was sunk in the
Mediterranean on February 26.
It was said that on board the Pro
vence were the staff of the Third Colo
nial Infantry regiment, the Third bat
talion, the Second company of the
First battalion, the Second Machine
Gun company, and one extra company.
As the ministry of marine, on Feb
ruary 29, announced that the number
of survivors of the Provence disaster
was estimated at 870, it is indicated
that upwards of 8130 lives were lost.
This great number of casualties
makes the disaster the greatest on the
sea in modern times. Up to the pres
ent time the largest number of lives
ever lost in one wreck was when the
White Star liner Titanic struck an ice
bersr off the Newfoundland banks on
April 14, 1912, and sank with a death
loss of 1595. The rescued numbered
743.
The vessel, however, when in the
trans-Atlantic service, could carry
1960 persons, including the crew, and
it has been presumed that as she was
transporting troops between ports not
far apart, she was carrying a number
of men larger than her normal capa
city.
SENATE SUPPORTS
PRESIDENT'S STAND
Washington, D. C By a vote of 68
to 14 the senate Friday carried out
President Wilson's wish and killed
Senator .Gore's resolution to warn
Americans off armed belligenrent
ships.
In a turbulent scene, such as Ib sel
dom witnessed in the senate, voting
proceeded, with senators shouting ob
jections, futilely demanding recogm
tion to explain their positions and
making hot retorts to each other, all
of which were out of order.
At one time so many senators were
shouting for the vice president s recog
nition that the sergeant-at-arms was
called to restore quiet.
After having maneuvered for two
days to get the resolution in such par
liamentary position that it was dis
posed; of without debate, the senate
then proceeded to a general discussion
of the subject, which continued all af
ternoon, to the dismay of administra
tion supporters. There were free ex
pressions of opinion that the senate's
action, because the vote actually was
taken on a motion to table the Gore
resolution, with a correction by the
author and a substittue by Senator Mc
Cumber, was In effect a "Scotch ver
dict," and had not actually accomplish
ed the purpose of the President.
Such statements aroused the Presi
dent's friends, who feared they would,
produce an effect exactly opposite to
that intended. It was Intended to
give notice to the world that the sen
ate stands behind the President in his
demands on Germany for the rights of
Americans traveling the seas.
In the house, however, the foreign
affairs committee, by a vote of 17 to
2, took a longer step toward meeting
fully the President s wishes, it voted
to report the McLemore warning reso
lution, with the recomemndation that
it be tabled. In the report the com
mittee asserts that the constitution im
posed the conduct of diplomatic nego
tiations on the President, and "with
this practice the committee does not
feel it proper for the house of repre
senattives to interfere."

Washington Butter Markets
Cut to Meet Competition
Tacoma On the verge of a break
for some time, the Washington butter
market Wednesday weakened and the
price toppled to 30 cents. Local job
bers attribute the drop to the breaking
of the California and Oregon markets.
They say if the Washington market
did not follow in line with its neigh
boring competitors there would be an
influx of butter from the other, two
states. To avoid that situation, prices
were set down and the home trade will
be accommodated by the local product.
Further changes in local prices are
not predicted, although the production
is said to be larger and the cream
production more active.
Freeh ranch eggs continue to get
weaker. Prices are now down to
22 cents a dozen, the cheapest they
have been for some time. Dealers re
port receipts rapidly increasing daily,
with the demand about the same. They
are hopeful of a strengthening of the
demand.

Umatilla Woolgroweas Will Hold.
Pendleton, Or. Nortwithstanding
the recent wool sales there appears to
be a feeling that they do not exactly
represent the tendency of the sheep
men of Umatilla county. The growers,
as a class, are inclined to wait until
shearing time to dispose of their cup.
Dan P. Smythe, one of the largest
Oregon growers, expresses the belief
that Umatilla county growers will not
contract before shearing time, even
though he admits that the price quoted
is high. Mr. Smythe states it is not
the tendency of growers to contract
Wool Lower at London,
London The seconsd series of the
wool auction sales opened Wednesday
with offerings of 7200 bales. The at
tendance was large. The moderate
selection was in fair demand, but both
merinos and crossbreds declined from
6 to 71 per cent Labor difficulties
and the question ' of financing v
largely responsible for the lower
prices.
Russia took few lots of scoured
merinos and the home trade the rest
No sales were made to America.
Hog Supply Large.
February was another big hog month
at the Portland Union Stockyards. The
month's ran totaled nearly 25,000
head, an increase of 4862 head over
the receipts in the same month of 1915
and equaling the gain recorded in the
opening month of this year. In other
divisions there was a falling off in re
ceipt in February, which waa most
pronounced in the sheep movement

Oil-Fuel Boiler of Great Efficiency.
Attention of marine engineers has
been drawn to a new type of holler
lately put forth by an English inven
tor. The curious device makes use
not of flues nor of coils of pipe to se
cure quick steaming, but ot hollow con
centric cones. Accord'ng to tests
made, a boiler of this type, the size of
a hogshead, will generate as much
steam and has as high a horsepower
rating as the ordinary boiler many
times larger. This compactness and
high rating make the boiler particu
larly adapted to marine service, where
space is valuable, besides which, Its.
ease and comparative cleanliness of
operation result In quite a substantial
saving of labor, several views ot tne
boiler appear in the March Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

The Wrong Impression.
A Quaker fell asleep In meeting and
soon began to snore. For awhile the
nasal notes were soft and smooth and
did not disturb the worshippers, but
finally the sleeper let out a few extra
kinks and the effect was a trifle dis
concerting. .
"Friend Hezekiah," whispered an
acquaintance, digging the other in the
ribs, "I think thee bad better arouse
thyself."
"What did thee Bay? What did thee
say?" cried Hezekiah, somewhat con
fused. "What is the matter?"
"Nothing, friend Hezekiah," was the
quiet rejoinder of the other, "only thee
was snoring a little, and I was afraid
that outsiders might think the spirit
had moved thee to a trombone solo
instead of an expression of thy con
victions." Philadelphia Telegraph.
Then He Left.
He was telling about all the things

complained.
