FOR INSPECTION OF BOOKS.
Suit for Mandamus Against Officers o
Manufacturing Concern.

suit Tor MandamuS Against Officers of
manufacturing Concern.
The United States of America on the re-
lation of William Smith and Annie Camp
bell, today through Attorney F. s. Key
Smith, instituted proceedings for mandamus
in the Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia, naming as respondents Norman
NJ. Vaughan, secretary and Walter r.
Vaughan, manager and treasurer of the
Peerless Manufacturing Company. In con-
nection with the proceedings 1t is set forth
among other things, that the company men,
toned was organized for the purpose of
manufacturing an improved automatic
artificial limb. In connection with the OPP
erations of the company, it is stated, GER
tain money was delivered to W. r.
Vaughan to be placed to the credit of the
company. 1t is alleged that instead of do
ing this, W. r. Vaughan placed the money
to his own credit and refuses to account
to the REALTORS for the same, saying that
he had issued to Smith some of the stock
of the company belonging to him
(Vaughan).
The mandamus proceedings, It Is ex-
planned. are brought to secure to the re-
lators the right to inspect the books of the
company.
Some of the books and certain of the
property of the company, so it is stated,
were recently replevined. The replevin
cases are set for hearing before a local
justice of the peace Monday and Saturday
of next week.

CHAMBERMAID ARRESTED.
Held Pending Investigation of Will.
lam FIippen's Death.

Mary Elizabeth Wheeler. colored, twenty
three years old, living at 1894 p street
northwest, and employed chambermafd
at f. ]. Gardeners, corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and 18th street. was arrested today
by Policeman O'Dea of the sixth precinct
and taken to the house of detention to
await the result of an investigation that is
being made into the circumstances attend
ign the death of William Flippen. So far
| as the police know. there is nothing against
the young woman, her arrest having been
made because of a statement by the wife of
Flippen. who expressed the belief that her
husband had been poisoned
Flippeu was twenty-five years old. and
was also employed by Mr.. Gardiner. He
ate his breakfast at his place of employ
ment yesterday, and when he had finished
the meal he still complained of being hun
cry. The chambermaid. who was in the
kitchen at the time, passed him a sausage
cake. Two hours later he went to his
home. No. 449 Missouri avenue, where he
died shortly after noon. Before 3 o'clock
his body was in the rnOrgue and the police
entered upon an investigation. This morn
ing Deputy Coroner GlaZebrook performed
an autopsy and found all the organs in
normal condition. The stomach was badly
congested, and the doctor said it was posi-
BILE that poison had caused his death.
Prof. Hird of the health department took
charge OF the contents of the mans stom-
ach and his analysis will be completed late
this afternoon Monday.
Mary Elizabeth Wheeler, the chamber
maid, who was arrested, was not in good
humor over the action of the police If
Mrs. Flippen had been jealous of her. she
declared, there was no reason for it, and
there was less reason for believing she had
put poison in the sausage. During her
short acquaintance with F'lippen they had
never had any misunderstanding, she de-
clared, and she had always found him gen.
tlemanly and obliging at Mr.. Gardeners
Thursday night, she said, Flppen gave
| birthday party to some friends, males and
| females. in South Washington, and she
understood his wife knew nothing of it.
Il was invited to the party" she stated
| but l attended a lamb Staying at Lodge
| No 2. Order of Moses, where we had plenty
I of lamb. cake and wine, and | didn't see
! Mr.. F1ippen until l went to work yesterday
morning"
| The police learned that Fllppen COM
| planned of being sick about o'clock in the
morning, two hours before the arrival of
| the chambermaid.. Flippen had borrowed
| carving knife for use at his birthday
! party Thursday night and forgot to return
| 1t yesterday morning, as he had intended
! to do. He therefore made a hurried trip
| on bicycle to South Washington This
| was shortly after he had eaten hearty
| breakfast, and he became so i'll that he
went home instead of returning to his
| place of employment. When his wife saw
| he was so ill she gave him home remedy
| He grew worse. and about noon he died
| before physician reached the house
| Until the result of the analysis is known
no further action is likely to be taken

RIVAL FIRM ACCUSED,
Charges Against the Driggs-Seabury
Gun and Ammunition Company.

Charges Against the Driggs-seabury
Gun and Ammunition Company.
A representative of the American Ord
nance Company recently asked permission
at the office of the controller of the treas
ury to file some papers requesting the con-
troller to stop payments to the briggs
Seabury Gun and Ammunition Company
for unfulfiiled contracts to the United
States government. The chief clerk of the
controllers Office gave permission, and the
papers are now on file. The controller has
not taken them up and does not know
whether he will do so. He does not even
know what the case is about, he said to-
day. and states that no hearing has been
given to any one, and he does not know
whether any will be given. He Is unac-
quainted with the facts in the contro-
yersy.
The two companies have been at odds
for number of years. The briggs Com
pany was successful a good while ago in
bidding for furnishing the government with
rapid-fire guns and ammunition. 1t is
charged that the company is In default
on these contracts with the government
The most serious accusation made is that
while the briggs Company was using the
Frankfort arsenal in making a certain
she'll to fill its contract to the government
1t accepted a contract from the Colombian
government for furnishing shells. 1t is
alleged that these shells for foreign gov
eminent were actually made in a govern
ment arsenal and sold to Colombia. Gen
A R. Burlington, chief of ordnance of the
uniting the use of government machinery
power and workmen.
Controller Tracewell will probably send
the papers to the War Department. where
the facts of the rivalry between the two
companies are well known and cause lit
tie comment.

DEVOTED TO SUGAR GROWING.
The Principal Industry in the Ha-
waiian Islands.

William c. Stubs, director of the Louis
iana experiment station, in a report sub
nitted to the Secretary OF Agriculture on
agriculture in Hawaii. says that owing to
the unusually favorable conditions sugar
growing is not only the leading agricul-
turaI occupation. but is the principal in
dustry OF the islands. the exports of sugar
being more than 50 per cent of the total
exports of the Islands. At present, he
says. this industry is in d very prosperous
Coalition but other agricultural industries
ere either not We'll deseloped or are not
IN profitable condition. He found that
coffee growing Is diminishing. and the
other large agricultural crop, rice, is now
grown on up-to-date principles. Stock
raising is conducted to some extent, but
there is need of improved stock and better
pasturage- Dairying as an adjunct to
agriculture is almost unknown, and dairy
products exceedingly expensive.
Parts of the islands have been denuded
Of their forests. to the great detriment of
these areas be reforested. In many parts
OF the Islands, especially at or near the
coast on the western or leeward side of the
Islands. irrigation must be practiced to
successfully produce good crops. Little
has been done in the islands in the way of
Vegetable and fruit growing for market
purposes, except with bananas and pineap-
pies The little that has been attempted
shows that almost every kind of fruit and
Vegetable may be grown somewhere upon
the islands. For supplying this class of
Product California and other parts Of the
Pacific are now drawn upon.
The report says there is d great neces-
Eity for the establishment Of an experiment
problems of diversified agriculture may be
given attention

1t Is The Way You Use lit.

IT'S THE METHOD EMPLOYED WHICH MAKES
SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
One man with pen, Ink and paper can produce
landscape, another man with pen and ink
may not be able to write his own name legibly
IL is all in knowing how
II Is equally true in the use Of medicines The
same remedies We have today have existed for
thousands OF years. but II their existence was
known 'he knowledge " how 10 use them was
lacking
They became valuable to the human race only
when experiment and science showed the way to
use them to get results. q
The grip is an old disease with a new name: il
II really catarrhal IN character and the usual
symptoms those OF acute catarrh, but the old
time catarrh powders. salves and sprays do mt
cure. neither does the application OF antiseptics
through an inhaler give anything more than relief
for short time.
The antiseptics all right; they will kill the
germs Of e:tarrh and grip il they are applied
rightly, but their local application to the and
throat avail little. because the germs are in the
blood and through the whole system.
-StuaTt's Catarrh Tablets contain many of these
same anuseptlcs that are used in sprays and in
haleFs, but instead Of applying them TO the IN
famed membranes OF the nose and throat they are
taken into the stomach and thus reach the blood
the real seat OF the DISEASE and drive out the in
fecious germs through the natural channels Of the
bowels and kidneys.
In other words stuarts Catarrh Tablets reach
the cause OF me nlscAlef instead OF merely local
symptoms.
The remarkable success Of these tablets I'm cprn,
grip. oatsrrh and throat and lung troubles is be-
cause they drive the catarrhal poison from the sys-
TEN. and the nose and throat become clear of the
excessive secretion OF mucus which causes the
hawking. splitting and gaggng. because the seere-
ton is net supplied with healthy blood
Two years ago Stusrt's Catarrh Tablets were nm
known. bus today have become popular through
positive merit that druggists everywhere In the
United States Canada and Great Britain now sell
them. mh1a o1xoa
