OLYMPIA, WAS1INGTON FRIDAY EVENING, JAM 27,
windy day when the wind takes away

windy day when the wind takes away
the bodily heat very rapidly. 1t is
not enough to go out in ordinary
wraps or overcoat. The clothing
needs to he very much warmer than
usual-a thin undershirt and Il heavier
one over it, or channels waistcoat, or a
paper one, being comfortable addi-
tions and better than loading a con-
valescent with heavy overcoats. 1t is
not the weight of wool worn which
lends warmth, but the air confined in
the meshes next to the body. Three
or four folds Of thin China silk have
more warmth in them than Yorkshire
fulled cloth a quarter OF an inch
thick.
When weak feeling comes over
one after grip don't wait for it to be-
come excessive, but take stimulants at
once. Hot milk with a dash of red
pepper in it, hot clam broth of the
freshest, beef broth or hot coffee, hot
water even, will recruit the exhausted
forces and perhaps save fainting fit.
You never know just how far a faint
will go after case of grip. A cup OF
hot broth or coffee, or hot water,
taken promptly when exhaustion
comes on, would, in nine cases out OF
ten, prevent an ugly line in the obit-
uary column.

FACTS ABOUT "TRUSTS,v
The investigation About to Be Made
by the Industrial COmmissiOn,

The industrial commission did not begin
the examination of witnesses today, giving
Its employees a half holiday in accordance
with the Presidents prociamat ton. Tomor-
row morning at 1880 o'clock Mr. F.. B.
Thurber of New York will appear and give
his views in regard to trusts. Mr.. Thurber
is regarded as one of the best informed
men in the United States in regard to
trusts, and his testimony Is looked forward
to with the greatest interest by members
of the commission.
The investigation of all laws and facts
concerning the trusts is regarded as one
of the most important features of the work
of the commission. In order to get COM
prehensive information on this subject the
commission will shortly send out a list of
questions to a large number of the largest
corporations in this country, and 1t is ex-
pected that by June replies to these in
quiries will have been received, SO that the
commission can proceed to call witnesses
in the same line of investigation. Mr.
Thurber, who will appear tomorrow, would
not have been called until June except for
the fact that he will be in Europe during
that month.

DIED FOR ARMYS HONOR
Another Chapter Regarding Colonel Henry
of French Army.
Evidence of Magistrate Bertulus BE-
fore the Court of CassatiOn
I'm Dreyfus Case.

PARIS. April 6.-The Figaro today pub
Magistrate Bertulus before the court of
cessation in the Dreyfus case. NJ. Ber-
tulus, it appears, gave an interesting ac-
count of his examination of the late Lieut..
Col. Henry, who committed suicide by cut
ting his throat with razor in August last
in the military prison of Monte Valerion,
after confessing to forging certain docu-
ments connected with the affair. The ex-
aminins magistrate said that when Henry
found himself cornered he confessed that
Lieut.. Col. Du Patty de Clam and Major
Count Esterhazy were the authors of the
spurious kilograms aiming to incriminate
Lieut.. Col. Picquart, whereupon NJ. Ber-
tuus said to Henry:
Esterhazy and Du Patty de Clam are
guilty. Let the latter blow out his brains
this evening and justice will take its
course against Esterhazy, the forger, who
is now making charges against you, which,
IL they reach the ears Of your enemies,
may lead them TO accuse you of supplying
ESterhazy with documents
Henry, 1t further appears, upon hearing
thls, collapsed in his chair, speechless and
then threw his arms around the magis-
trate, kissed him on the forehead and
cheeks, crying, implorngly:
save us. Save us! Esterhazy is a
Scoundreli'
Ihe magistrate then pressed him for fur
ther information against Esterhazy. but
henry begged him not to insist, saying:
Ihe honor of the army before every
thing"
NJ. Bertulus a so expressed the belief that
the ''veiled lady" who has figured in the
case was no other than Du Patty de Clam
himself. >'''

OVERHAULING THE RALEIGH.
Probable That the Work Will B,
Done at Portsmouth, n. III.

While no positive decision has yet been
reached in the matter, Secretary Long
says that 1t is probable that the Raleigh,
now on her was home from Manila, will
be sent eventually to Portsmouth, n. H.,
to undergo the extensive alterations now
being piannsd by the board of naval bu-
reau chiefs. Representatives of the Nor
folk navy yard interests, led by ex-Repre-
sentative Bowden, have been earnestly
pressing the department to have the work
done at that yard. and while this may
yet be ordered, the present disposition is
toward Portsmouth, n. H, on the ground
that the Norfolk yard has now on hand
about all of the work that it can handle
while Portsmouth is virtually idle. Some
additions to the steel working plant at
Portsmouth will be necessary If the work
is to be done there, and the result may be
that the yard will be modernized from
wooden shipbuilding plant into steel ship
building yard, capable of undertaking at
least work of the second-class on the small
er cruisers and gunboats. A rough esti-
mate of the amount of money TO be expend-
ed on the alterations of the Raleigh places
the total at a quarter of million dollars
though the exact figure cannot be stated
until the naval bureau board has complet-
ed its estimates in the case of the Raleigh's
sister ship, the Cincinnati, which is 10 be
overhauled in the same manner.

VICE PRESIDENT HOBART
His Illness More stubborn Than Was
Anticipated

Vice President Hobart is still confined to
lis nome on Lafayette square, and his phy-
sicians find that his Illness is far more Stub
born than at first anticipated. Mr. Hobart
condition was worse yesterday than at any
time since his return from Thomasville. He
did not have a restful night, and this MORN
ing was not feeling improved over yester-
day. His physicians visit him two and
three times a day.
Some alarm has been caused over the
condition of the Vice President, but this
is said to be unfounded at this time Mr.
Hobart suffers principally from acute in
digestion, although he is still weak from
the effects of an attack of grip.
President Mckinley is constantly solicit
Gus about the sick man. and several times
day makes inquiries. He also sends flow
ers to Mr. Hobart. A strong friendship eX-
lists between these two men. There are few
cases in the history of this country of the
President and Vice President being so close
ly attached.

All Hope Of His Recovery Has Been

One of WashingtOn's Best-knowT
Figures Passing Away - His
Long and Active Career.

The venerable Almon NJ. Clapp, for many
years a prominent and highly esteemed
citizen of Washington, is lying at the point
of death at his residence No. 1904 M street
northwest. There is no chance for his re-
covery. He was suddenly stricken last
Tuesday at midday with paralysis of the

rapidly failing. His attending physician.

Alleged Significance Of Altgeld's De-
feat in Chicago.
NO'DEMOCRATIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Carter Harrison and His Friendship
for Croker.
SUPPORTER OF BRYAN

The oddities of the local elections in sew
eral states. the mix-up of the democrats
over their New York dinners and the gen.
eral confusion of alignment create a dis
turbance in the minds of politicians. The
other day the friends of the President and
of Mr.. Hanna won victory" in Cleveland
in the election of a democrat to be mayor,
and it is now being said that the demo-
cratic national committee suffered defeat
in the election of Carter Harrison as mayor
of Chicago, and that anti-Bryan people and
a faction of the republicans find in it q
victory.
The statement that Carter Harrison S
election was accomplished over the oppo-
sition of the democratic national commit
tee is based on a statement that in the
midst of the personal contest between Har-
rison and Altgeld, Senator Jones, chairman
of the democratic national committee, gave
his Endorsement to Mr. Altgeld by appoint
ing him as a member of an advisory COM
mittee' to assist the national committee
No Advisory Committee.
This furnishes a curious example of how
an incorrect statement can run ahead of
any possible correction. The fact is that
Mr.. Altgeld was never appointed a MEM
Der of an advisory committee" by Chair
man Jones and that no advisory committee
was ever appointed by Mr. Jones, nor was
the appointment of such q committee ever
held in ontemolation.
When the story was first published Mr..
Jones denied it. but the denial got no cur
rency. Soon after that Mr.. Jones was seiZ-
ed by a dangerous Illness and has not been
able to attend to any sort of business, to
participate in politics in any way or even
to follow the progress of political affairs
until very recently.
AItgeld Accuses Harrison.
Mr.. Altgeld is publicly quoted as accus-
ing Mr. Harrison of not being true to Bryan
or faithful to the Chicago platform, and
the campaign against Harrison by the eX-
governor was based on this accusation, but
Harrlson has denied the accusation and
publicly proclaimed his loyalty to Bryan
and the Chicago platform. Some demo-
Gratis doubt Harrison's sincerity and sus-
pect him of being too intimate with Mr..
Croker of New York. This suspicion is pre-
sumaby based on Altgeld's declarations
and the fact that Croker and Harrison are
looked upon as friends, the New York boss
having visited Harrison after his former
election as mayor of Chicago. But when
Bryan declined Mr. Belmonts invitation to
the so dinner and questioned Mr.. Bel
monts democracy Mr.. Harrison was quoted
in an interview as declaring his approval
of Bryan's course, and as saying that he
was for Bryan and free silver, and that
men like Mr.. Belmont could not claim to be
democrats unless they declared their ac-
ceptance of the platform of the party.

DR.. Major Has Not Withdrawn Objec-
tions to Stringing of Wires.

Capt Beach, the District Engineer Com
missioner. said today that he was mis-
taken yesterday in stating that DR.. John
r. Major, residing at 500 l street, had
agreed to permit the District authorities to
run cable over his residence, in order to
carry the telephone and telegraph wires
from pole in the alley in the rear to one
on New York avenue. twas explained by
the District electrical department that 1t
is Mr.. Detweiler, a next-door neighbor of
DR.. Major. who has consented to the run
ming of cables over his house from the al
ley pole. AS heretofore explained in The
Star, owing to reduction in the width of
the sidewalk space on 9th street between
G street and Massachusetts avenue, 1T be-
came desirable to remove the poles support
ing the fifty or sixty wires from 9TH street
to the alleys between 9TH and 9th streets.
DR.. Major objected to carrying the wires
over his residence, and also refused to al
low the District authorities to string the
cables over it. He has not withdrawn his
objection.

THE PEOPLE WILL RIDE FREE.
Tom l.. JOhnsOn's Prediction Regard
ing Street Railway Lines.

CLEV VELAND, Ohio, April 6-Tom. l..
Johnson, the widely known street car mag
nate, in an interview here is quoted as
saying:
Tine time is going to come when the
people win ride free upon the street cars
run and operated by a municipality, the
same as they now get their letters deliV-
cred to them by the postal system.
Municipal control is as easily handled
as governmental control. Politics would
not be able to cut any figure. In every
separate organization, where the servants
of the company, government, or municipal
:ty, are subject to examination by public
sentiment, where free access to the inner
workings is made possible, no corruption
is found. 1t is only in the hidden byways
thai political chicanery can be possible"

rudimentary education at the public schools
there and in Livingston county, New York.
where the family moved in 1918 When
young Clapp was fourteen years old he set
out to face the world alone, and entered a
small printing shop in Genesee. n. Y, as an
apprentice In 1873 he went to Buffalo,
where he finished learning his trade with
Day, FOllett & HaSkins He also attended
an excellent private classical school and
finished his education in 1881. A year later
in April 1892, Mr.. Clapp married Miss Han

Erie county, New York. The next year he
with his brotheE but he ycarned for the
more congenial atmosphere of the printing
office. and in 1885 he established the Aurora
Standard. Thus was commenced the career
in Journalism that was for many years
notable and influential. His pen quickly
drew notice to him, and in 1898 he became
editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
and part proprietor thereof.
He remained with this paper until 1916
when he established the Buffalo EXPRESS
Here his sphere of infiu>,~se increased and
his vigorous treatment of vital subjects at
tracted wide attention. He became recOg-
niZed as one of the representatives of the
young band of Americans who were he
ginning to think for themselves and this
was further emphasized when in 1856 he
was one of the leading members of the
Pittsburg convention at which the republ-
can policy was organized.
He was appointed in 1861 postmaster of
| the city of Buffalo by President LINCOLN,
and was reappointed in 1865, serving until
| removed from office in June, 1866, by Presi-
dent Johnson. In March, 1869, Mr. Clapp
was elected congressional printer by the
United States Senate, and threrupon sold the
Buffalo Express. He continued as public
| printer until 1877, in which year he pur-
| chased the National Republican then pub
| lished in this city, and continued as It's
owner and editor until January l, 1880,
when he disposed of the property. Since
| then he has been living in retirement so
| far business has been concerned, but
| has never relinquished his interest in public
affairs.
| Mr.. Clapp's characteristics have always
\ been rguged devotion to his principles
| and purposes and a courageous champion
| ship of his convictions. His kindly, genial
| disposition has endearei him to friends
| everywhere. Among his pieasantest mem
| Ories was the great reunion of the Clapp
| family held in 1870 at Northampton, Mass,
| at which as the head of the family he pre-
sided. Mr.. Clapp's family consists of three
| children. Mr.. Henry H. Clapp Miss Amelia

with Washington Centennial Lodge.
