In view of the short time remain ing befofe the Christmas recess and the fact that the Cummins bill, if passed, must be sent to conference with the Ksch bill, recently passe ", j by the House, Republican and I Democratic senators predicted that J it would not be humanly possible, to frame a law by the end or the | month, even if Congress kept ! steadily and continuously at work. The day's upturn was keenly dis appointing to friends of the Cum mins bill, which would have been passed Monday, with less than a score of senators voting, except for a demand by Senator LaFollette, Republican, of Wisconsin, for a quorum. Buys North Pole Ice but Gets No Profits St. Paul, Homer Hogratli. a farmer of Minneapolis, Kan., applied to-day for the arrest of a man who had ob tained $20,000 from him. He said this person went through some surveying and astronomical cal culations and then tried to buy the Hogarth farm. Failing in this, he offered to let Hogarth in on a scheme that would make him a millionaire. He said he had accompanied Peary to the North Pole, which was really a pole of steel that projected from the center of the earth. It was the source of all electrical energy. Ho had invented a mighty scoop which would dip up thousands of tons of 1 ice, and as the earth rotated, the ice : wculd be dumped on Hogarth's farm. It could be sold at a big profit. The farmer backed him! FLOOD IN SOUTH 1 BEGINS TO RECEDE Not More Than Dozen Lives j Have Been Lost, It Is Believed I I Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 12.—High' j waters that have flooded low lying I I sections of Alabama, Georgia and j Mississippi, generally were begin- I j ning to recede to-day, but Mont- j , gomery, Ala., and Macon. Ga., were ! j still in the grip of the flood. Property loss to industrial plants | and their enforced shutting down. ! as well as damage to buildings, loss 1 of livestock and extensive damage ! to bridges and trestles has made the monetary toll of the floods run into i the millions. Loss of human life, j however. has been remarkably i small. Probably not more than a ! dozen lives have been lost. A j thousand or more negroes are home- I less, however, around Hattiesburg ! and Meridian. Miss. Railroad communication gener ! ally was paralyzed in the lower por tions of Mississippi and Alabama.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Lancaster Tobacco Crop Moves Slowly Lancaster leaf tobacco dealers now have the field to themselves, so far as the country's new crop la concerned. Buyers for the big outside leaf and cigar firms have withdrawn, apparently hav ing secured all the tobacco they needed. But the Lancaster packers are not buy ing so fast or indiscriminately as the big concernes did. The latter wanted a ' certain quantity of tobacco and to get it j i were obliged to buy wholesale, sweeping J i up entire districts with practically no I inspection. Local packers, buying to resell, are inspecting crops carefully and not pay- I ing the prices paid during the recent raid. The average price paid during the raid was twenty cents a pound for wrap per quality and six and seven cents for fillers, a good deal of the crop having been sold at eighteen cents at the outset of the drive. Prices went upward soon, however, twenty-three and twenty-four cents being paid and some bringing twenty-six cents. Buying has been slow for the past week. The holders of the balance of the crop believe prices will stiffen. The packers do not think so and believe I growers are more likely to get a lower i price after the Christmas holidays. I Growers are being urged to adopt the public floor sales system, in spite of the fact that it had few advocates last ] year, when prices were low. The sys ! tern is entirely foreign to that which ■ lias always existed in Lancaster coun | ty, the grower always selling to buyers ! who call on him. The prosperous con -1 dition of the cigar industry is relied j upon to boom the trade of local packers. ! KILLED WHEN PLANE FALLS j London, Dec. 12.—George F.

The Governor of Pennsylvania luis no authority to issue a license to an auctioneer although in 1859 an act conferring such power was is sued according to an opinion ren dered to-day by Deputy Attorney General W. M. Hargest. The ap plication was made recently by counsel for Henry, Brouse, Joseph McConnell and Daniel Neely, of Philadelphia, and was the first of the kind to be made for forty years. In 18 74 Attorney General S. E. Dim mick held that the act of 1873 su perseded the act of 1859 and in 1876, Lyman D. Gilbert, then de puty attorney general, held that the purpose of the act of 1873 was to make uniform auctioneer license systems and that county treasurers should issue them. The Berks county court in an opinion by Judge Gustave A. Endlich upheld this find ing. N. It.

Another Move to Bring Home American Dead Washington, Dec. 12.—Appoint ment of a commission to investigate the advisability of bringing home from France the bodies of American dead was proposed in a joint reso lution introduced late yesterday by Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican, New Jersey. It would appropriate three million dollars for the use of the commission, which would be charged also with looking after the proper marking of graves of soldiers' whose bodies would remain abroad. Meantime the War Department has ordered two officers and a de tachment of 58 men of the graves registration service to Europe, sail ing from New York, December 16, on the transport Martha Washing ton for Southampton, England, to inaugurate the work of preparing the bodies for shipment.
