The hill forbids any such ■company to construct, own or operate lighting, heating, power, water, or cooling plants unless a certificate of public necessity Is obtained from the Btata uitlities commission. No new corporation of these kinds may be started to" compete with existing‘cor­ porations unless the state utilities commission is satisfied there is pub­ lic demand for the new enterprise.

Supporters of the Bragg quail bill, which seeks to furnish quail protec­ tion until 1920, won the first round of the contest in-the senate. White of Brie moved that the bill be referred to the committee on agriculture, a friendly committee, ‘ On a rollcall the •bill was sent to that committee by a to te of 15 to 10.

In a way more radical tban the Danford bill to stop the sale o f cigarets, it provides that any Insti­ tution of learning supported in part or all by public funds shall forfeit claim to such funds if a teacher or superintendent of the school amokes cigarets or if it permits a student who smokes cigarets to graduate.

The climax to the doctor’s testimony was when ho declared that in many cases they were better eating after ten years tban they were when freshly laid.

Cargo of the Frye, Washington Con­ tends, Wa* Not Properly Subject to Treatment as Contraband of War, Uncle 8am to Stand on Ground. A*- fumed In Controversy With the British Government. Washington, March 12.—The impor­ tance which tlie afiministration at­ taches te the questions raised by tho sinking of an American vessel by the Gounan sea raider, Prinz Eitel Fried­ rich, was emphasized when President Wilson took occasion La Issue a brief statement, which said that tha. sale' efforts of the government at* present are to obtain all the faets in the case- • •Great confidence is felt in official quarters that the' United States gov­ ernment, when the moment 'arrives’ for taking up the case with Germany, will ho able to establish so.firmly the justice of a demand for compensation that Its argument will be practically ' unanswerable. • At present the state department Is relying on the officials of tb.e treasury at Newport News in regard to tho sinking of the Frye. ( Within a few days all the evidence'obtainable will be in the hands of. the treasury and state departments, and soon there- atter a note embodying the views of the United- States will bo dispatched to the German government, The case of the United States rests entirely on the fact that the cargo ot the Frye was not properly subject to treatment gs contraband o f war. No evidence has yet come to the atteu- tion'of officials here bearing out the claim of 'the Germans-that the Wheat was dostined -for the. use of the British government’s, armed forces. The TThit- ed States will not accept the German contention that the consignment "to order" at Queenstown Is presumptive evidence o f consignment to the Brit­ ish forces. It lias already taken is­ sue -with tho British government on tliis very question, having refused to quiesoe i n p f A-mecfisan the Germans produce :acceptable .evidence to support the cjalm that fhe wheat on the Frye Was contra­ band of-war, the United States will stand on the ground assumed in the controversy with *tlio British govern­ ment, arid it is believed here that" the case will be decided on this very point. . ‘ Captain Kiehne of the Frye 1has been asked to keep the members ot his crew together So that all the tes- . timony necessary for diplomatic cor­ respondence may be gathered. The captain probably will come to Wash­ ington to confer with treasury and • state department officials and fdve a personal statement of the circum­ stances surouriding the sinking of his ship. That the Frye was carrying wheat and no other kind of cargo has been established in official reports. The German commander claims that as the wheat was consigned "to order" and bound for England, it therefore could.be presumed*fo be contraband. —Man past 80 with horse and buggy oto sell Stock Condition Powder in Greene County, Salary $70 per month.
