There are some other expensive
things in the world besides automobiles
and^motor boats is a visitor’s sincere
belief after paying a visit to the car-
nival poultry department, where not a
single chicken shown of the several
^hundred exhibited can be bought for
less than $25. Eggs that sell for $5
each are no exception to the general
rule and a coop from Huntsville be-
longing to a Mr. Johnson of that re-
owned village contains chickens that
were purchased at $100 per bird and
would not be sold for twice that much.
These and many other such interest-
ing data are keeping Director FranK
James and Judg-- Chas. V. Keeler of
the poultry department very busy mak-
ing explanations to the carnival
crowds.
Judge Keeler asserted yesterday that
the present poultry show at the carni-
val grounds is the only poultry show
ever held in the United States in the
summer months. The reason for this
is the usual difficulty in procuring
prize birds at this time, as they are
dropping their old feathers to take on
theii’ annual new coat, and exhibitors
are extremely loath to allow them to
be seen at this particular time. How-
ever, Director James has assembled
several hundred and they indeed look
fine. Another thing that most persons
do not know about prize poultry is
that each chicken has to be washed
before shown and that it takes four
days to complete the washing process.
Yesterday afternoon the judging of
white Plymouth rocks was performed
by Judge Chas. V. Keller of Winamac,
Ind. Mr. Keeler is a noted poultry
fancier and judge and is an aiderman
of his home city. Judges Wm. M. Sel-
kirk and Julius Rexer took up the
judging of the many pigeon coops last
night and completed the awards of
blue and red ribbons ta 9 o’clock. The
awards were made as follows: Parlor
tumblers, first prize hen, John Bell,
Galveston; English trumpeters, first
prize black hen, first prize blac^ cock,
first prize red coqk and first prize
splashed hen, julius Rexer, Galveston;
red wing turbits, first prize cock,- f i/fet
prize hen, John Nash Galveston; red
checker wing turbits, first prize pair,
John Nash, Galveston; pigmy pouters,
P. W. Hunt won the following awards:
First prize cock and hen, second prize
cock and hen, black fantails, first and
second prize pairs, yellow fantails,
first prize pair, white fantails,
prize pair, black wing turbits, first
prize pair, blue wing turbits, first prize
pair, pink wing turbits, first prize
pair, magpies, first and second prize
pairs, white homers, second prize pair.
W. M. Selkirk won the following
awards: White homers, first prize
pair; squab breeding homers, first prize
red ca^neon, first prize pair;
English runts, first prize blue cock,
second prize black cock, first prize dun
hen; racing homers, first prize on cock
and hen. The last prizes for racing
cock and hen were upon two famous
pigeons, the cock having repeatedly
flown 500 miles across the state and the
hen having a record of over 400 miles,
two birds have been used in
exhibition flights and always
their long trips.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 2.—All hope
of a settlement of the differences has
gone since the refusal by the miners
last night of thtfoperators' ultimatum,
representatives of the miners and op-
erators of the southwest left here to-
day. The operators say they are not
in a position immediately to declare an
“open shop” policy but announce that
as rapidly as men can be secured they
will be put to work under ample pro-
tection.
The miners say they will picket the

Austin, Tex., Aug. 2.—The adjutant
general’s department late yesterday
afternoon received a telegram from
Capt. Frank Johnson of the state
ger force, now at the ’scene of trouble
at San Benito, in which the captain
wires:
"We have the country fully covered
■with officers and don’t expect any
trouble from the Mexicans on the- oth-
er side.”

estine, was under control, and that

Chicago, Aug. 2.—The railroad pres-
idents who are interested in the es-
tablishment of a statistical bureau
which has been called a press bureau
with Logan C. Mc-
head, are expressing
vexation, because, they say, the pur-
pose of the bureau has been misunder-
stood. With a view to correcting this
misunderstanding, O. ]>. Dlckeson of
the Burlington was authorized to give
out a statement yesterday.
The statement in part follows:
"The establishment of this bureau
was decided upon for the purpose of
securing and compiling statistical data,
with reference to the various branches
of the railroad service, so that the
railroads themselves may have an
avenue of authentic, unbiased informa-
the problems con-
In other words, the
important officers of one railroad may
know of the working of his own or-
ganization, but he also may be un-
familiar with facts, from time to time,
relating to the general railroad situa-
tion ,and with the idea of furnishing
freely data as between railroad men,
the bureau was established.
“After its establishment was decided
upon, it occurred to the railroad men
that if ’they were not able themselves,
under the present conditions, to know
all the facts.concerning other railroad
organizations, it was difficult to cor-
rectly inform the public at large con-
cerning the whole situation; there-
fore, it was determined, whenever the
public or newspapers sought informa-
tion pertaining to any particular ques-
tion, that it should be freely furnish-
ed, but it is not intended that the bu-
reau is to engage in a campaign of
publicity.”
Miss Rachel Keenan returned from
Huntsville, where she was extensively
entertained and will entertain the fol-
lowing house party: Misses Gabrielle
Thiebaud of New Orleans, Rebecca
Ball of Houston and Sue Thomason of
Huntsville. Miss Thiebaud is a sister
of Mrs. Lynn Keenan and will remain
here, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John
W. Keenan until the first of Septem-
ber.
