Warrington D.C. Aug. 28. — Keprc-
Heutative Frank Mondcll Republican
leader iu the House has a real stiff
figl't on his bauds iu his attempt to suc-
ceed John B. Kendrick Democrat in
the United States Senate. Mr. Mon-
dell's greatest difficulty is In finding
out just where and how to attack Seu-
«toi Kendrick. Already it is being
s.id in Wyoming that when it comes
to voting Senator Kenarick is "just
about as good a Republican" as Mr.
Mondcll.
In most of tic states of the union
the cougussioual elec oils this fall will
turn upon the tariff bill. That bill
caunot be an Utue in Wyom^ig for it
is a BephLlican bill and Senator Ken-
drick Demoetat voted for it. He also
voted solidly with the Kepublicans ou
every incrcure iu duties on products iu
which Wyoming wa» interested. Senator
Kendrick was iu the ’’agricultural tar-
iff bloc” and be turned deaf ears to
all Democu.t>c denuaciatiou of the
Forduey-McCumuc- measure.
Can Find Nt# Issue.
Mr. Mondeo's dilemma is in trying
to find something that be would have
done for Wyoming in the Beuatc that
Senator Kendri k failed to do. The Re-
publicans whose intcicsts were eeutered
in the tarift bill are admitting that
Senator Kcadno: "votta right'' iu every
instance.
It bas been -uggestea to Mr. Mondell
by some of his political advisers that
be go frankly before the people of the
state and say tc them that while Sen-
ator Keuditclt votes with the Republi-
cans ou all matters of vital concern to
the state taut if Myomiug believes in
Republican p- licies they should send a
Republican io th' Scuatc instead of a
Democrat. They have suggested to Mr.
-Moudell to take the jositiou that the
state would gain better uud more in-
fluential representation ou important
committees of the Senate by l aving a
Kcpublicau senator in a time of Re-
publican control. Mr. niondell will say
that no ma-.er bow ofteu Mr. Kendrick
voted with lie Republicans be could
not sit with the Republicans in their
closed committee meetings at which thc
tariff bill was framed.
Iu many respects this senatorial sit-
uation iu l\ yarning is one of the most
unique the country bas ever secu uud
the outcome is difiict.lt to forecast.
A Taste in Cars.
"Ray” Baker formerly director of the
mint and holdover Beau Brummcl of
the Wilsqn administration tells a re-
markable story of how his $7OOO auto-
mobile was stolen from be court yard
of his hotel a short time ago.- The car
located in Detroit lias just made its
nay back to Washington m mewhut the
worse for wear.
Thc thief was no ordinary low vul-
gar persons but an esthetic soul who
appreciated the fact that Ray had a
utrle in cars just as w.m'hrful as ^is
ey e for all the more expensive forms of
sartorial trapping. Knowing the Ray's
cars was mt of supreme elegance a
sort of utunhei four superior kind of
car the thief i esed for the part he
was to |>ay No l only did he dress
for the part but ho mingled—mingled

throng in day’s bote! a hostelry with
the proud o-ri.t that f i« cabinet mem-
bers —one-nnif the President's cufire of-
ficial family— nuke tlwir abode therein.
After mingling with the tbrougs and
watching tl.o dam-ers the zero hour
for thc thief arrived It is to be pre-
sumed that among those with whom lie
mingled tn the lobby throng was Hay
himself. It is also to be suppoaed that
be saw Ray di.-uppciir into one of t'ue
elevators. II was then Hiu- he acted.
He sort of l.urxt out ol the lobby ac-
cording to the story w l-ii li reached Ray
later. He b'Ast out so nastily that he
nearly ktrwked th'’ t'ixi-elarter down. He
wa» dressed u. fnulthss white flannel

and n jnuuty yachtlcv cap.

wave adieu to some fictitious friends
on thc hotel porch he was off for the
great adventure *
All of li’s friends congraulatcd Ray
on having his car stolen by such a re-

Speaking ot automobiles a newspa-
per corrcsmiuuent just back from Ber-
lin ou leave told his Wasnington as-
sociates a harrowing tale of prices for
ears in Germany Thc correspondent
wanted to buy a sedan of a poplar Ger-
man make and finally agreed to pay
BttO.OOO marks for it. In olden days
this would have been about $75000
but at the time thc bargain was made
it was something like $l5OO. The day
of delivery arriving tne scribe was told
h > would have to pay 000 marks.
"How come':” be asked in bis best
German.
"The tires weren't included in the
original price” was the explanation.
The correspondent bucked. He’d be
darned if he'd be held up like that. He'd
wait until prices went down. He did.
He waited six weeks. Then he called
around and asked thc price of the sedan.
"Fire hundred thousand marks” said
the automobile man.
"Nothing doing” said the scribe.
Auoth»r-six weeks elapsed and once
more the price was asked.
“Eight hundred thousand marks"
said the automobile man.
Tne scribe smiled. ILat was all he
could do.
Just before leaving for home be asked
again the price of the car —this time
just for fun.
"One million two hundred thousand
marks” said thc automobile man.
"Goodbye” said thc scribe and now
he is trying to get permission to take
a flivver back with him when be re-
turns to his post.

STRANGE WILL FOUND
Sailor Engraves Last Testament on
Identification Disc.
London. Aug. 28. —Strange as the
story of any document told in fiction
is that of a will which bas just been
admitted to probate and is now filed in
Somerset House.
It is the “last will and testament" of
a sailor William Skinner who lost bis
life when his ship the Indefatigable
was sunk in the battle of Jutland. It
Is in thc form of the ordinary identi-
fication disc tin one side in thc usual
deeply-punched letters appears the
name number rating and religion of
thc mail to whom it had been issued.
On thc other side the disc appears
at first sight to be just a circular piece
of smooth polished brass. But when
viewed at a certain angle there can
be seen about 75 minutely engraved
word". With a microscope they can t-c
plainly read. They constitute Skinner's
will by which he bequeaths everything
to liis wife. The disc had hpen recov-
ered from thc sea with Skinner's body
and on being cleaned revealed its se-
cret.

Historic Axe for Alamo
Miniature Implement Carv<
at San Jacin
A miniature ax carved from a piece
of tbo. timber that .ormed a pare of the
historic Vince bridge across the Sau
Jacinto river and destroyed by Dc.f
Smith and John York prior to the buttle
of San Jacinto when General Santa
Anna and his army • 'crc routed by the
Texans bas been presented to the
Alamo by C. A. Cu-hrell of Houston
uud the souvenir is uow displayed'
among thc scores of other relics treas-
ured in the Alamo by the Alamo Mission
Chapter of thc Daughters of the Texas
Republic.
Although thc ax is a tiny affair
scarcely more than three iuphes in
length yet it is perfect in every detail
and the bead and handle are carved
from different pieces
Just before .be battle of San Jacinto
the crucial battle in thc Texans' strug-
gle for independence from Mexico the
Mexican army crossed the Vince bridge
into thc San Jacl..tu '--.v. The bridge ।
the only means of retreat for thc
Mexican army but they did not. expect
a. attack ut that time from thc Texans.
The Texans who were contemplating an
attack and who were confident of the ।
outcome desired to cut off the retreat'
ot the Mexican army and thus make.
the victory complete. The Mexicans I
on tbc other hand would have felt b^t-1
ter with the bridge behind them.
Deaf Smith Tom' York and possibly ■
another man volunteered to undertake i
the hazardous task of burning thc I
bridge and thus cut off the retreat of
the enemy when the Texans should nt-'
tack. They slipped ar und the side of
thc Mexican army got in the rear and
then destroyed tbc bridge. They re-
turned to the Texan forces in time to
take part in the engagement.
M heu the Texans u . the Mexican
army engaged in ’ attle thc latter were
routed and thc retreating soldiers found
tbc bridge destroys I and made futile at-
tempts to escape by swimmin the river.
They became easy marks for the Tex-
ans’ rifles.
This is the second souvenir of the
historic Vince bridge that has come into
the keeping of the Alamo. For several
years a small piece o timber has been
in thc possession of tbc chapter. Both
pieces of wood are iu an excellent state
of preservation.
