Imports Shrinking Under New Tariff.
Washington.—During the first two
months of the Underwood tariff law
there was a total shrinkage of $65,459,-
701 in the imports and exports of the
United States, as compared with Oc-
tober and November of 1912, when
the Payne law waa in effect. Three-
fourths of this shrinkage was due to
the falling off in the value of Imports
under the Underwood law between
Oct. 4 and Dec. 1, 1913, aa compared
with the Imports under the Payne law
during October and November, 1912.
Woman Leads Colorado Democrats.
Denver, Colo.—Mrs. Gertrude A. Lee,
who became chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee of Colorado, by
virtue of the resignation of the elected
chairman, George T. Bradley, is a
machine politician, according to her
declaration expressed emphatically.
According to her views a machine-
impregnable and unassailable—is the
only factor which can assure party
success. Therefore, she is planning
to build In Colorado one of the great-
est political machines of the age.

Titanic Uneeaworthy, His Plea.
London.—The plea that the Titanic
was unseaworthy when she left Eng-
land in April, 1912, on her disastrous
maiden trip to the United States,
which coSt the lives of over 1,500 peo-
ple, is to be advanced in a suit for
damages brought against the White
Star Line by Thomas Whiteley, one of
the surviving stewards. The plaintiff
sustained a fracture of the right leg
in the wreck. This will be the first
time that a suggestion in regard to
the unseaworthlness of the Titanic has
been raised in the courts.

McAlester, Okla.—There was a mu-
tiny of prisoners at the Oklahoma
state penitentiary here Monday aft-
ernoon between 4 and 5 o’clock, with
the result that seven people were
killed and three wounded.
The dead: Pat Oats, assistant dep-
uty warden; F. C. Godfrey, guard;
H. H. Drover, superinte-dent of Ber-
tillon department;
Muskogee, former
trict and circuit
district of Indian
Reed, who was sentenced
years for horse larceny; Tom Lane
of Pauls Valley, who was sentenced
to five years for forgery; ;Charlie
Knoots of Comar che county, who was
sentenced to 40 years for man-
slaugher.
The wounded are: Jack Martin,
turnkey; C. L. Wood, guard; Mary
Foster, telephone girl.
The prisoners were being returned
from their work to their cells when
Reed, Lane and Knoots, who had been
working in the tailor shop, went to
the storeroom to turn in their days’
work. They approached the back door
>f the corridor in the administration
building and told the turnkey, Jack
Martin, they wanted to see the parole
officer. He opened the door and Reed
fired at him with a six-shooter, shot
him through the cheek and took from
him the keys.
The three prisoners started toward
the warden's office, met Pat Oates,
the assistant deputy warden, and
him through the heart. At this,
a'random shot passed through a
into the office of H. H. Drover,
tillon officer, killing him.
to the next office room, the prisoners
encountered F. C. Godfrey, a gaurd,
and killed him.
Judge John R. Thomas, a leading
citizen of Muskogee, was sitting in a
chair in the office, where he had gone
on business, and without a word of
warning he was shot, dying instantly.
Then the three men, Reed and Lane
having six-shooters, grabbed Miss
Mary Foster, the telephone girl, and
carried her into the yard, holding her
before them to keep the guards from
shooting.
In this manner they made their way
through the yard with the keys, open-
ed the front gate and got through the
wall. In some manner the young wor<
an was shot while passing through the
yard.
The prisoners threw her down and

There was a running fight, with
the result that the three prisoners

prisoners were trying to escape, all

Washington.—In a message which
■Won from all factions of both houses
of congress sincere applause, Presi
dent Wilson Friday laid down the
groundwork for ’-‘the additional arti-
cles of our constitution of peace.” Un
like his message on the tariff and
currency, in his message on trust leg-
islation the president presented to
congress a detailed outline of the trend
of the proposed legislation on this sub-
ject and the approval with which the
general program was received by con-
gress is taken as an indication that
the proposed trust legislation will find
smoother sailing than was accorded
either the tariff or currency bills. In
the fact that the first applause, which
Interrupted the reading of the mes-
sage, was starffi by Minority Leader
Mann and his Republican colleagues,
the Democrats find a hopeful sign for
a speedy and successful enactment of
the program.
The compresensive program which
President Wilson submitted fulfills
the hopes of even the more radical
Democrats and progressives, while the
spirit of .fairness and gentleness with
which the drastic recommendations
were presented seemingly gave keen
satisfaction to the conservative ele-
ment in congress.
■ The applause which greeted the
reading of the president’s message
lasted long beyond the joint session
of the two houses and was manifested
by the expressions of the leading men
in both houses during the day. Even
so seasoned a conservative as Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts
was inclined to approve the message.
“I think I agree with the president,”
he said, "as to the need of legislation
on all points he suggested, and if
legislation is drawn in the spirit which
he professed to desire I can’t but think
that it would be beneficial. The dan-
ger is that radical men will draw
bills. It all depends on how
president’s recommendations are
acted into law."
Victor Murdock, the Progressive
leader, and candidate for senator from
Kansas, continues disappointed over
the Democratic record for progressive
performance.
Wheeling, W. Va.—Ten thousand
men have returned to work in the
mints and mills in the Wheeling dis-
trict since Jan. 1. Several plants that
have been closed or running part time
will soon open to full capacity.

Monday on the first leg of their in-
spection trip of the 127 miles of the
new water supply aqueduct from Ash-
okan reservoir in the Catskill moun-
tains to Brooklyn.
Some idea of the immensity of the
aqueduct can be obtained from these
figures: Length 127 miles, cost $177,-
000,000, capacity of water supply 770,-
000,000 gallons, diameter of tube 17
feet The aqueduct crosses four riv-
ers and New York harbor, passing

Washington.—President Wilson
let it be known that he opposes a re-
turn of the "spoils system” of postof-
fice appointments and will veto the
bill now before the house unless the
"rider” in it exempting assistant post-
masters from the classified service is
eliminated. The president, it is under-
stood, has decided to call a halt to
what has been charged by civil service
advocates as a tendency in congress
to break down the merit system.

Fort Worth, Texas.—Bankers rep-

organized with a view to making every

it is considered that three of the four
cities represented are aspirants for
the reserve bank.

that are calculated to show the merits
of the Texas proposition. These ar

TEXAS IS A HEAVY LOSER
Figures Show Insect Has Done Great
Damage In Thio State in S
Fifteen Years.
Washington.—The boll weevil has
caused a loss in the production of
cotton in the United States In excess
of 10,000,900 bales which, at a value
of only $50 a bale, represents a finan-
cial loss of $500,000,000. This is only
the loss in areas actually planted.
The reduction In the production of
cotton due to the fact that farmers
refrained fron^ planting because oi
the fear that the weevil would not
■allow the plant to mature can never
be estimated.
These and other interesting facta
and statistics concerning the boll
weevil are given in a little pocket
pamphlet just issued by Director W.
J. Harris, or the census bureau, de-
partment of commerce.
The damage to crops in the pnn
clple cotton growing states is sum-
med up about as follows: Mississip-
pi, about 50,000 bales, value at $30,
000,000; Louisiana, about $50,000,000;
Alabama, about 440,000 bales or near
ly $25,000,000; Georgia, from $10,000,-
000,000 to $20,000,000; South Carolina

as: The boll weevil first appeared
in Texas in 1892, and during the next
15 years caused an enormous loss in
the cotton crop of the state. In seven
selected counties in the northeast
section of the state the production tn
1906 amounted to 232,063 bales. This
was reduced to 114,701 bales in 1907;
to 153.347 bales in 1908, and to 145,

value of the three crops In these coun-
ties amounted to about $24,000,000. it

approximately $40,000,000.
In each state the figures were basea
