Further Testimony Taken Before the
Investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Pension
Investigating Committee this morning
examined large number of papers from
the official files of the Interior Depart
ment. among them an Endorsement and
recommendation (signed by Senators Gull
lom and Farwell and Green B. Raum) of
Examiner Taylor, against whom Raum
later brought charges.
Commissioners Raum was called to the
witness stand again, and having said he
didn't approve OF Secretary Mobiles ac-
ton in his (Raum's) sons case without
giving him a fair trial, Enloe asked
what he thought of his own action in
discharging seven special Examiners
without a fair trial. The Commissioner
replied that he believed they were fur
nishing information to newspapers, to
wrote articles intended to injure him
the Commissioner.
Speaking OF having asked for the re-
tlrement of General James Dugan from
position in the Pension Office, the wit
ness said Dugan had made remark to
the effect that Lolnan was Commissioner
and Raum his deputy. This witness re-
garded as disrespectful. When Senator
Palmer of Illinois came to him in Du-
gan's behalf, he (Raum) said he had no
personal feeling against Dugan. and if the
latter would make a suitable apology he
would bring the matter before the Secre-
tary Of the Interior with view of rein
statement. Later, however, he was shown
a letter written by Dugan to a newspaper
assailing General Bussey, and the matter
OF reinstatement was dropped.

An Fndeavor VIII Re Made to Gust
Hold-Over Senator's.
Los ANGELES, March 24.-It is stated
that an effort will be made to unseat the
hold-over State Senators, on the ground
that their districts have been, in many
cases, changed by the new Apportion-
ment Act, and that some of them repre-
sent parts OF districts which will elect
Senators this year under the present APP
pOrtionment
stephen NJ. White, in discussing the
matter, said: There is such an effort
and it will be settled by a test case. It is
manltestly wrong for Senators under the
new apportlonment to attempt to repre-
sent districts they do not reside in ard
nave no interests in. About half the
Senators are hold-over Senators. II they
are permitted 10 hold their places under
the new apportiOnment, many districts
Will not be represented and some will
have double representation. Under the
OLD apportlonment San Diego and San
Bernardlno formed a Senatorial District.
Now, under the new apportionment, San
Bernardino and Orange Counties make a
Senatorial District. San Bernardino's
Senator holds over. Under the new an
portionment it will get another Senator.
while San Diego will be left in the cold.
with only the hold-over of San Bernar-
dino to represent it. This is manifestly
an injustice to San Diego. 1t is not right
for man living in one part of the State
TO represent another part of the State or
represent nothing. a test case will be
made of the matter in the courts. If
Governor Markham fails to issue pro-
clamation for a Senatorial election under
the new apportionment he will be man
damused and the whole matter will be
legally reviewed and tested. There is no
doubt IN my mind but that the result will
be an election of new set of Senators
under the new apportionment"

THE DISCOVERY OF WINE
1t Was Due to Persian Called til
delightful Poison,

delightful Poison,
Wine is reputed to have been discovered
by Jemsheed, the founder Of Persepolis.
the famous capital of ancient Persia. He
was great lover of grapes, and in order
to have them all the year round had large
quantities packed away in enormous
earthen jars. After standing for some
time one of the jars was opened and the
grapes were found in state of fermenta-
ton.
Jemsheed imagined that the resultant
liquid was poisonous and accordingly
had it placed in other jars which were
labeled Poison" and conveyed to his
bedchanlber.
One of the ladies ofthe harem happened
one day to be suffering from a severe
headache. So great was the pain that she
was driven TO the verge of distraction,
and spying one OF the vessels containing
the grape juice, Immediately opened it
and took a copious draught of the sup
posed poison. The wine mounted to her
head, overpowered her senses and she
sank into profound sleep, from which
she awoke greatly refreshed. The remedy
proved SO enticiDg that she INDUCED in it
whenever an opportunity presented, until
at last the jars were emptied.
Soon after the king, being DESTROYS of
examining his poison" was dumb
founded at its sudden disappearance, and
Immediately Instituted an inquiry as to
who had the audacity, not to say fool
hardness, to tamper with the royal
stores. This resulted in the discovery of
the culprit. who confessed, and after ex-
planning the delightful effect produced
by the liquor, was fully forgiven by his
majesty.
He ordered generous quantity of wine
to be made, and, with his court, reveled
i'll the delights OF wine-drinking for MANY
years thereafter. From that time to the
present day the Persians call wine Zeher-
e-kooshon, which signifies delightful
poison" thus perpetuating the story of
its peculiar origin.-Detroit Free Press.
