The bald headed side of the question u In the handa of Her a tor Tin hart I.. Taylor of Tennessee and Representative Nicholas Imigworth of Ohio. The chin curtains found their champions In former Henator Thomas M. Carter of Montana and "Uncle Jo" Cannon of Illinois. H4 Saiair, Whiskers Cowshed. Messrs. Taylor and lonj worth entered the rlna; amid cheers. Their hairless domes sparkled beneath the radiance of myriad electric lights. Senator Carter and "Uncle Joe cam with thlr whiskers combed for the fray. The shouts that greeted tham were dnafenlng. Ir. "Pure Food" Wllsy of the Depart ment ef Agriculture was chosen as the timekeeper and each contestant waa al lowed tea minutes, tlsott C. Bon repre sented the press club aa referee during the hoetllltles. but rare war to Speaker Clark at the end. The audience wae leathered from every part of the country and Included moat of the) leading; men In Washington. The ab soence of a verdict prevented any money changing: hands. Representative Lonarworth waa the first speaker. He said he did not believe a hair on the head wae worth two on the chin. Neither wae he willing to aaaume that a bald head provided he should be consid ered bald waa In any sense a handicap, Hher In pobllo or private life. Mr. Lmng werth claimed that on hla birthday every man baa a choice between hair and brains. Hla eholee. he said, waa apparent. The condition of the dlaputanta on the other side la utterly Inexcusable," assert ad Mr. Zxmrworth. "In olden days whiskers were excusable they were sworn by but nowaday they are only sworn at. "Thar la no excuae for such whiskers aa tboa tbat adorn the chin or cheat of the former senator from Montana. I claim that whiskers are unsanitary and I appeal to the timekeeper to uphold me." The timekeeper promptly called time. Mr. Long-worth tneleted he had been In terrupted and that these Interruptions ( should not be taken from hla time.' Dr. Wiley Instated that the Interruptions were tn beat part of the argument. former Senator Carter waa Introduced aa "exhibit A" for the whisker. Baleuaewa Hevew Isustary. N man," said he, 'TDver voluntarily wore a bald bead. A bald head la an af fliction, a standing Joke, a phyaioal In firmity. Wa pity, but do not blame our op ponents." Bepator Carter Insisted that the "beard" ( waa the real thins;. He ridiculed mustaches .and said they first called out tba name. of whiskers, aa they whisked ack. and forth : in the brsess. "No fair maiden." he said, "ever feared a promise from a bearded man. The beard la a bads of manhood. . A bearded man needs only opportunity. . ' "The first man to out off beards waa Alexander the Oreat. It waa a brutal measure of warfare to prevent antagonists from seising the soldiers by the beard. Let ua all wear beards and there will be no more warfare In tola troubled world f oure. "There la another thing about the bald headed man. He naturally goes to prison without previous preparation. It takea some trouble to prepare a bearded man for that ' unfortunate habitation. "Our , opponents tonight, having neither hair nor whlakera. Were compelled to take the aide assigned to them. The bald headed man will be the butt of Jokee from the beginning to the end." Senator Taylor, Introduced aa an "ivory pated Moeea of the Tenneeaee democracy," said that when Mr. Cannon waa speaker of the house he shook pestilence and war from hla horrid beard. He dwelt upon the nobility of bald peaka of mountains and th bald beads of the American eagle cir cling about them In the asure atmosphere. Coming down to bald facta he added: Taylor Saeeotk Patee. "When I waa born, a few short summers aco. I had a bald head. My father before me bad a bald head and when I opened my eyes and looked upon hla burnished dome I thought all the world baldheaded. And when my mother pressed her smooth cheeka to mine I did not think there waa such a thing in the world aa whiskers. "Once I had raven tresses." said Sena tor Taylor wistfully, "but like autumn leavea they left me. Ever since I lost them I have had a horror of hair and supreme contempt for whlakera. On the other hand I have always admired bald head aa a symbol of purity and Inno cence." "Uncle Joe" Cannon said he never had been funny In hla life at least not con acloualy so. He quoted from a writer who recently waa In Turkey and who said the saddest man ha found in the empire had a bald head. He waa a harem guard. , When Speaker Clark was called upon to settle the die mite he said that "Uncle Joe" had protested at bis presence at the party on the ground that he neither had whlak era nor a bald head. Mr. Clark said be , wouldn't have missed the debate for the world deep la the fact that his wife did not want him to coma. "She aaid there wasn't any sense In the whole performance," he declared. Mr. Clark Insisted that the reason that a majority of men no longer wear whisk era waa because they were all trying to look Uka William Jennings Bryan. He rather rapped the whlakerttes when he said a good looking man eeuld afford to have a smooth face, while an ugly one had better keep hla beard. "Observe, gentlemen." he concluded. "that I have a a moot h face." MANY AUTOS IN SOUTH DAKOTA Five Heedred a a 4 Tweaty-Sevew Machines Registered Darlaaj April. PlETtRB. S. D..

COI.t'MBt'8. O., May 1 Ohio legislators who hoped, by testifying before the grand Jury now Investigating bribery In the as sembly, to escape conviction by means of an Immunity bath, were disappointed today when Prosecuting Attorney Turner and At torney General Koran refused to accept their testimony. Other Immunity bathi were headed off yesterday when an Investi gation by a legislative committee was de ferred until after the grand Jury finishes Its work. The prosecutors have declined to accept overtures from assemblymen. The grand Jury wa In Neaslnn all day and among its witnesses, besides detect! i who disclosed the corruption, was Gov ernor Harmon and Judge Blair of Ports mouth, who conducted the recent campaign which resulted in the disfranchisement of l.MO voters In Adams county for election frauds. A bill Is pending In the assembly to legislate Blair out of his present judicial district and out of a place on the bench. Rumors have been current of wrongdoing in connection with the measure.

JUST A REDEREASTED THRUSH ssaha Aossbss Society Hears Dread fal Dlsclosere from a Sci eatlMe sharp Cssrrrsiag Aged Imposition. To the teachers of Omaha has come grave query. They were placed In this trying position at a lecture given by Henry Oluys. as sistant biologist of the biographical sur vey of the Department of Agriculture, a the Young Women's Chria-.:an association Tuesday afternoon. The subject of the lecture waa Innocent enough "Music of the Birds," Just aa Its presentation, with whistled Illustrations of the songs of the different birds, was charming. It was given, moreover, under the auspices of the Audubon society, whose president. Dr. R. S. Towns, the Omaha "bird man, was present on the platform, and with the sanction of ths superintendent of Omaha schools, William M. Davidson, who elo quently introduced the lecturer. And yet the query crept in and every tescher with tender conscience left the lecture pus tllng about her duty in ths matter, wonder ing should she tell the truth and sham that la, should she tell the truth end de stroy the fancy which for ages has de lighted American children. The lecturer, you see. whispered to th .teachers, then boldly 4old them that the robin is a myth so far as America Is con oemed, There Is no robin herel Not a real robin England has a monopoly of the real roblna The bird we call a robin is thrush, a "migratory thruah." And aa he pointed out. It doea take a bit of the ro mance out of the arrival of the harbinger of spring to name him a "migratory thrush." Furthermore, the leoturer con fessed. this robin fraud began with the founding of -the natlfn, or even before It waa 'a'' nation! was' Instituted In fact by the forefathers quite soon after they had named Plymouth Rock. The forefathers saw the red-breastad thrush and most un scientifically hailed , (t aa a desoendent of the English oook-pebln, and If later they discovered their erfor, they did not cor- rect it. The teachera, of course, can fol low the example of the forefathers or they can become Iconoclasts and tell1 the truth. The quandary la theirs. . The lecture was a most Interesting talk on the beauty which can be heard In the songs of the birds the "untrained, wild song birds." Ths Audubon society gave a reception for Mr. Oldys at the publlo library Tues day evening.
