Toad Spurts Blood.
The * so-called "horn-toad” of our
Southwest, which is really a small
lizard, has a habit of "spitting blood,”
as the boys of that region will tell
one. But Prof. Vernon Baily, chief
field naturalist of the United States
Department of Agriculture’s biological
survey, says the blood comes from Its
eyes. The Mexicans call them "sacred
toads,” because they weep tears of
blood. The weeping, however, Is
more like shooting, or squirting, a fine
stream or .pray, sometimes to a dis
tance of .several feet.

“BIG THREE”
LAY PLANS TO
BEAT M’ADOO
Murphy - Brennan - Taggart
Combination to Boom
Underwood
Washington. Nov. 26.—(U. P.)—
Plans of the Murphy-Brennan-Tag
gart wing of the democratic party for
killing off William C. McAdoo. as
a presidential possibility are unfold
ing.
Oscar Underwood of Alabama Is
their first choice. If Underwood fails,
Jthe “Big Three” plan to deadlock the
democratic convention and enforce
the nomination of the man they will
put forward as a compromise candi
date.
Samuel Ralston of Indiana is like
ly to be this compromise candidate.
The strategy mapped out at the
recent war council, Murphy of New
York, Taggart of Indiana and Bren
nan of Illinois held at French Lick,
Is based on these conditions.
McAdoo probably will go into the
convention with a clear majority of
the delegates, but considerably short
of the two-thirds required to nomi
nate.
Situation Made to Order
Underwood will have a large block
of delegates, putting him next to Mc
Adoo on the first few ballots.
There will be another <iarge block
of delegates divided among other
candidates, Henry Ford included.
The McAdoo delegations will not
all stick by him if he cannot win
early.
This situation is made to order for
producing a deadlock unless McAdoo
can prevent this by showing greater
strength than the “Big Three” cred
it him with.
Underwood is to be given all the
delegates the trlumviate can throw
to him on a series of ballots intend
ed to show whether he can beat Mc
Adoo. They will agree to give Un
derwood the maximum chance, if he,
in turn will agree to what they
want if he cannot win.
Hinges on Liquor Isfte
What they want of Underwood is
his support, when they say the word
for their compromise candidate.
The success of this plan, of any
plan, in fact, may depend, the three
anti-McAdoo leaders realize, on the
, “wet” and “dry” issue. In the#back
ground lurks the figure of Bryan. He
may no longer be presidential timber
hfmsel*, but he still wields a hefty
axe against-all "wet” candidates.
And as he upset Champ CJark's
hopes at Baltimore, he may destroy
the hopes of some "wets” or slight
ly "damp” democrats of getting the
nomination.

From Hearing on

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. *3* {Special)—
Hallway Commissioner jSrowne has
returned from an attendance # of a
week of (the representatives of the
Interstate Commerce commission who
are hearing applications of the west
ern state for a 10 per cent, reduction
in grain rates and also of other sec
tions and persons for a cut In export
rates. No testimony was taken on
the latter feature.
On behalf of the Nebraska apramls
slon, Commissioner Browne and Ex
pert Little submitted a mass of sta
tistics comparing for the period be
ginning in 1913 to date the prices
obtained by manufacturers for their
goods and what the farmer got for
his products. They also submitted
/showings as to the purchasing power
in transportation or what manufac
turers produced and what the farm
er's products would buy. They showed
that the farmer was at a big disad
vantage In the exchange of commod
ities as compared to the pre-war
period. Except in the matter of fab
ricated steel, a hundred pounds of
wheat will buy less transportation
than anything else- It is upon such
showings that the western states are
basing their demands for a cut of
10 per cent, in rates on grain to
equalize conditions.

SEES BREAK IF
LABOR FACTION
IS VICTORIOUS
French Diplomats Worried
Over Result of Elections
in England
BY BASIL D. WOON
Universal Service Correspondent
Paris, Nov. 26.—A comlete break
in the entente, an economic union be
tween Great Brltlan, Germany and
Russia, the Isolation of France, the
return of the kaiser and revolutions
in Greece and Austria, are seen here
as the inevitable consequences of the
return, at the coming British elec
, tions, of a labor government.
If the liberals win, diplomats here
see the following developments
scarcely favorable to France.
l--Lloyd George will return to
power, either as permler or foreign
mlniste.
- 2--England will declare against
the legality of the occupation of the
Ruhr and sever diplomatic negota
tions (not relations) with France un
less tihe latter changes her policy with
regard to Germany.
May Support Germany
3- -England will openly support
Germany in the fight to have the
crushing total of her debt reduced.
4- -England will use the economic
weapon against France until the latter
yields.
If the conservatives are returned to
power, it is believed here that:
1--Premier Baldwin will call a rep- ,
aratlons conference of allied and neu
tral nations to reduce Germany’s debt
with or without the consent of France.
Economic restraint will be used
against France if the latter proceeds
in defiance of world opinion
France 8ure to Lose
It is pointed out here that no
British party favors in any way
France’s methods against Germany,
and that no matter woh wins at the
polls, the result will be to the detri
ment of France.
Diplomats are inclined to think that
the conservatives, with Premier
Baldwin at their head, will be elect
ed, but with so slight a majority tlhat
such a government will be over
thrown by a pooling of labor and
liberal interests on the first occasion
that Premier Baldwin attempts to
run counter to opposition opinion.
The retfffn of Lie yd George at the
head of a liberal-labor coalition is
looked upon in some quarters here as
a likelihood within 12 months.
Given the hostility of all British
parties to his policy only two avenues
are open to Premier Poincare. They
, are redoubled activity toward Ger
many, including a multiplication of
French measures to dieal with the
rich alone, and resignation of Poin
care to allow another government to
change French policy and permit
allied unity. There is not the slight
est hint tlhat the latter road will ba
chosen.
On the contrary, there is every in
dication that France is prepared to be
Isolated and has taken measures to
cope with the problems which isola
tion present.
Chief of these measures will be
“consolidation,” of the French posi
tion in tihe Ruhr. This means the
occupation of the further strategic
points and railroads to render the
valley of the Ruhr less vulnerable to
attack .
At present strategists point out
that the Ruhr cannot be fortified,
and, in case of war between France
and Germany, would have to be re
linquished by the French.
A secondary measure will be to use
every weapon, economic and other
wise, to oblige Heer Stinnes to
knuckle down to France at the latter’s
terms. Confiscation of the Stinnes
mines and smelters is mentioned iher*
as an extreme measure.

RUM TREATY
IN OPERATION
Seizure of British Vessel
Made Under Provisions
of Pact
BY WILLIAM P. FLYTHE
Universal Service Correspondent
Washington, Nov. 26.—The so
called 12-mile treaty with the Brit
ish government, permitting search
and seizure of rum Bhips outside the
three-mile zone, went into effect
Monday, it was stated at the treas
ury department. ,
It was in view of this agreement,
treasury officials explained, that
coast guard cutters ventured out
side the three-mile limit Sunday and
seized the British rum runner Tomako
when those on board the vessel be
lieved it to be safe from the arm of
United States laws.
Thd Unltedi States and'tihe British
government have come to an accord
on the terms of the rum running
treaty and it was with this distenct
understanding that a radio was sent
to coast guard cutters to stop the
Tomako anywhere found, It was de
clared.
There will be no protest from the
British government because of the
incident, treasury officials declared,
because the two governments are so
confident tihe treaty will be ratified
they are acting upon the verbal
understandings. The only condition
fixed is that this government must
be certain the ship has contraband
liquor aboard before stopping her.
This requirement was met in the case
of the Tomako.
The treasury statement precipitated
the greatest activity at tihe state de
partment. It was declared there that
the draft of the treaty has not been
completed and of course the treaty
Itself cannot be operative. The state
department believed that there was
some misunderstanding on the part
of the treasury, it was pointed out.
In spite of this, treasury officials
declared, the war on rum runners will
no longer be confined to the three
mile# limit of American territorial
waters and that the Tomako incident
is the opening gun of a war that will
sweep the liquor trade from the high
seas.
