FRIDAY EVENING,
Strong and unexpected opposition'
developed yesterday during eonsid- j
oration of the Cummins bill, de- j
signed to meet conditions with the i
end of Government control, and it ]
was by a slim and narrow margin
that its advocates defeated a mo
tion to set it aside and take up the
sugar control measure.
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!

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firms have withdrawn, apparently hav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.

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

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.
OREGON'S MARBLE CAVES
Amid the wilds of Southwestern i
Oregon, almost unknown to the'
world-at-large, is situated a series
of under-ground chambers and pass
ages remarkable for their size and
for the beauty and unusual character 1
of their decorations. Within the last
few years they have been made o<!
national monument and are now i
known as the marble caves of Ore
gon.
The caves consist of three miles
and a half of marble passages and
grottoes, ranging from one story to
four or five stories In height. In
places the connecting corridors are
so low that one must crawl on all
fours a considerable distance. Else
where the chambers are so large
that the opposite walls and celling
are scarcely visible in the dim
candlelight. The largest cavern
measures more than 500 feet high.—

ODD USES OF SAWDUST
Sawdust, which most of us regard as
waste, has many uses besides the man
ufacture of paper, for which a century
old invention is to be applied.
Oxalic acid Is made from It; it Is used
for packing as well as smoking flsh.
Carbonized, It makes a better Alter than
ordinary charcoal.
Boxwood sawdust is used for cleaning
Jewelry, and rosewood sawdust Is com
pressed Into artlActal ebony. Furriers
use it for dressing skins, while even
small fragments of some woods, such as
pencil cedar, are made to yield per
fumes.
A peculiarity of sawdust is that it
sinks in water, although the wood from
which it U cut floats.
