CHAIRMAN Prick A WITNESS.
Thinks the Armor Fraud CHARGES
a Manipulating Scheme.
II Inspectors Had Done Their Duty
There'd Have Been No Trouble.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Chairman
Prick. Of the Carnegie Steel Company.
was the witness before the Naval Com
mittee In the armor plate investigation
to-day. and attracted an unusually
large audience.
Answering questions from Chairman
Cummings, Mr.. Frick told Of his con-
nection with the Company since 1883,
and asserted that he had opposed en-
tering upon the work Of making armor
plate, since the Company would be at
a disadvantage and have but one GUS
toner. While the Company's output of
1898 had been more than 5000, 900 tons,
only 5000 tons was armor plate. 1t was
comparatively unimportant branch OF
the works, and he had left the details
entirely to Supt. Hunsicker.
Regarding the penalty exacted by the
Government, Mr.. Prick said that he re-
Department as exorbitant and had APP
pealed to the President, as he was per-
mitted to do under law. He considered
the Presidents decision, unjust in the
amout exacted, since all the Company
had stipulated to do was to furnish the
best armor.
serted that the tensile tests of plate
were of no Importance, as compared
with ballistic tests.
He did not regard the information to
the Government as conspiracy on the
part of former strikers for revenge, but
rather a money-making scheme.
Informer Craig had come to him be-
fore the information was given out in
timating that a conspiracy was on foot
and giving as his motive for the visit
gratitude towards a member of the
Company. who had assisted his sister in
obtaining an education.
Mr.. Frick did not go into details re-
garding Craig's information to him. He
told also of a visit from an unknown
elderly lady, who said she came from
Washington, and intimated that for
money she could give some valuable in
formation.
III the Government inspectors had
done their duty there would have been
no trouble" said the witness

HILL SPEAKS AGAIN.
Once More Urges the Senate to
Make Tariff Concessions.
Says the House, Backed as II Is,
will Never Yield.
And that the Bill as Amended Vio-
lates the Party Pledges.
tBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Every seat
In the gallery was filled again to-day
when the Senate met Resumption OF the
heavy firing against the Executive was
anticipated. The strain and excitement
were almost as intense as when the SEN
ate convened yesterday.
The Senators themselves were slow In
arriving, most Of them remaining in the
cloak-rooms until the morning business
was completed.
Senator Villas, Of Wisconsin. who was
expected to defend the President
against some Of the aspersions cast up
on him yesterday was, however, on
hand early. as was also Senator Hill, OF
New York, who was also billed for q
speech.
When, at 1928, Mr.. Harris. the floor
conference report, almost every seat on
the floor was occupied.
Mr.. Hill, OF New York, was on his
feet, and was Immediately recognized
for a speech. He agreed, he said, at the
outset, with Mr.. German. that the
Democratic party was In the midst Of
great crisis. The Democratic party,
after such long struggle In the minor
ity, had at last been intrusted with
power. 1t had gone to work to reclaim
the pledges It had made. The greatest
Of those was that to reform the tariff.
The House had passed a Tariff bill
which, aside from it's income-tax feat
ure. seemed to meet with general salts
faction and approval. As 1t passed this
| Senate, however, after long weary
months OF debate, 1t was not satisfac-
tory, and it violated the pledges Of the
party. 1t went to conference.
| The House conferrees were confronted
with the fact that the Senate had made
the bill inconsistent, had made 1t I'M
worthy OF Democratic support. They
rejected the duty on coal and iron. They
refused to yield and there was no hope
that they would yield; II they insisted
upon their attitude and the Senate was
obstinate. all prospect Of tariff legisla-
ton was at an end. His (Hill's) motion
that the Senate recede from the coal
and iron duties was In the line Of an
agreement.
| 1t would do no good to obstinately
adhere to the position taken when the
bill was passed. do you see any signs
Of yielding on the part Of the House?"
he asked, addressing his Democratic
colleagues. Backed by the public press
Of the country, by the Democratic
masses and the President Of the United
States, as 1t undoubtedly is, the House
will never yield. Why not yield on these
two points and see whether 1t does not
lead to an agreement"
| He was not. he said. talking about Mr.
Vilas's motion to recede from the diff
ferential in favor Of the Sugar Trust
But concessions must and should be
made II the bill was to become law.

LOCATING THE BED.
Al Task Requiring the Exercise of Consid-
 erable Judgment,

erable Judgment.
 There is considerable difference of opinlon as to the necessity to the health of sleeping in a bed placed north and south. The old-fashioned idea that tbe currents of electricity going from pole to pole affect the sleeper is now SUD. posed to be superstition.
 Yet the habit that most of us have acquired of placing our beds whereye, 1t Is possible with the head to the north will probably cling to us. One thing, however, that is of importance is that the bed should not be placed against the wall, but should be accessi- Die on both sides. The old fashion of placing the bed in an alcove. which cannot be ventilated as well as 0 larpe room, is considered to be an unhyeienio one. An excellent reason why n bed should not be placed against the wall Is that the person who sleeps at the rear of the bed Is likely to have his face, during sleep, so near the wall that his breath, striking the wall, will be rebreathed again.
 So large a portion of existence is necessarily spent in sleep that the lo- cation of the bed, the bed covering and bedding and the furniture of the bed room should be the subject of consid- eration and thought. As it is, too often this is the last room considered. In many families good-sized close t, with no opening into the outer air, is considered good enough for bedroom. Not only should the bedroom be thor oughly ventilated and exposed to the rays of the sun, if this is possible, but the bedclothing should be taken off and hung in the air and sun for several hours before the bed is made up. The fashion of the double bed is rapidly | passing out of use. Where two per sons occupy the same room two single beds, or twin beds placed side by side, take its place, for two persons can rarely sleep together without one of them feeling i'll effects. It is a most injurious practice for a child to sleep with an adult, but it is equally bad for strong, vigorous child to sleep with a delicate, nervous one. The stronger 1 person may sometimes draw strength from the weaker, but usually this is reversed, and the more vigorous person is the sufferer.-N. Y. Tribune.

VIII Not Change It's Membership.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 23.-The execu- tive committee of the W. c. T. U. held a post-convention meeting yesterday, lasting until far into the evening. The most important matter that came up was a resolution to admit men to full membership in the young ladies' braLch. The subject was fully dis cussed and the decision finally reached was that such a change was inexpedi- ent, inasmuch as when the proper time arrived the W. c. T. U. itself should admit men to membership and elim- mate the word "womans" from it's name in case anything of the kind was deemed expedient.
