A Clean Breast Made Regarding

New York, Dec. 31.-Reginald c. Van

knowledge not only of Canfields Forty
fourth street gambling house, but of
other gambling houses in New York. 10
District Attorney Jerome, in connection
with the latter's John Doe" crusade
This was done through the young mil
lionaire's lawyer. The information given
by Mr. Vanderbilt was voluntary, al
though it was not given until after Mr..
Jerome had summoned him as one of
half hundred men of wealth and promi-
hence.
Mr.. Vanderbilt not only told Mr.. Jerome
of his own losses and winnings, but it is
understood that he gave the names Of his
friends and acquaintance, the character
of their playing and the amounts Of their
gains and losses.
A report upon which District Attorney
Jerome refuses to comment is prevalent
in the criminal courts building to the ef-
feet that he has in his possession checks
given by about twenty young men of
wealth to Richard A. Garfield. Mr.. Jerome
was asked if he found the checks at
Canfield's. He replied: II did not take
anything from Canfeld's.". ."--e ....~-z

OPPOSED TO PUBLICITY
Chairman Knapp Says It Is Not
Remedy for Bad Trusts.

Washington, "a Dec. 31.-Before the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science Chairman Knapp OF the
interstate commerce commission IN his
paper entitled capitalization and Pub
-iicity," discussed the proposition that all
corporations amenable to congressional
control be required to make full dis
closure of their affairs SO that 1t may
be seen how the amount of money orig
inally paid in, or the value Of the assets
at any time owned, compares with the
par value Of all bonds and stocks issued.
Mr., Knapp took violent issue with the
remedies advanced by PRESIDENT Roose-
velt He said, in part: ...l.. .Fg-
IT maintain that the stakeholder, as
such, is not benefited by corporate pub
licity and would be harmed rather than
helped by it's enforcement. 1t is one
thing for the stakeholder to have knoWl-
edge of the concern whose shares he
holds; it is quite another thing to fur
nish the public the same information. >.
Leaving out the Spectator and taking
into account only those seeking honest
investment, ten times more money, to
say the least, has been sunk in farm
MORTGAGES, suburban lots, patent rights,
buying and selling grain, cotton and other
comm odities, where no corporate shares
were dealt in or even existed, than was
ever lost on account of the fictitious or
excessive Issue Of corporate securities.
IT cannot but regard corporate pub
lefty Of this Kind: and to the extent
advocated BY many. as a certain and
serious hindrands Of effective compe-
tition.
Gust as the Sherman antitrust law,
which is based upon an economic fall
lacy, has Indirectly aided the very re-
suits it, was designed to prevent, SO the
compulsory disclosure of all corporate
transactions would undermine the COM
petition it was intended to support.
: bearing in mind how rapidly all kinds
Of business are assuming the corporate
FORM, that the competition of individuals
is fast disappearing, and that competi-
ton in the future will be mainly between
corporations, it seems plain to me that
the enforcement Of corporate publicity
would be an added incentive to Industrial
combination" $3.50 - Z" - Sts-1%t

Strenuous Effort Of Getting on a

j o ~
New York., Dec. Si.-After struggling
through dense crowd at the Rector
street station of the Ninth avenue ele-
waited line and securing standing room
near the center%o of a car that was packed
to the doors, Charles Vessel. who was
one Of the best-known metallurgists in
the country, died yesterday in the train
just as 1t was about to enter the Cort-
landt street station. It seemed at first
as If there would be panic. There was
not room for the body to fall. AS 1t
toppled over#it knocked down an. old
woman, but she was not injured The
crowd Fsurged back, leaving space for the
body to fall backward to the floor. Mr..
Vessel was Il IS years old and weighed
225 pounds. Il, Noting the excitement in
the center&of the car curious, people tried
to push in that direction from the ends
of the car, and those who stood near
him were unable toSlift the man UP. The
guards shouted to one Of the guards on
the station platform to call POLICEMAN.
When Patrolman5 Wynne reached the
platform and tsawssthe crowd he thought
a fight was in PROGRESS 4 Il He drew his
club and pushed his way to, the car on
which Mr.. Vessel had died. On being
informed that snan had died in the car,
wynne sent; for Patrolman Wooley. All
were crowding forward, eager to learn
what had happened. Wynn saw that two
policemen were mot enough, so he sent
for the reserves. Six men were sent.
One Of the policemen was stationed at
the bottom 3of. the steps leading to- the
station to prevent any more persons
crowding up. The body was then taken
out with much difficulty #s7 z. ..sssvee:.>,
An ambulance had been :, summoned
from the Hudson street hospital. DR..
Cooke examined the body and said death
was due to .apoplexy. It required four
men to carry. the body down and place 1T
in the wagon, The crowd in the: street
had increased to 400 persons, all COM
planning at the delay and anxious to get
home. SO * : il 49,.

"a COAL MINE GRADUATE VESSEL DROPPED DEADT|
Wayne MacVeagh Tells How He
Won His Point in the Re-
cent Strike.

New York, Dec. 31.--The coal strike
question was discussed by some of the
speakers at the dinner given at Sherry's
last night to the delegates to the uni
verstty conference. James w. Alexander
Of Yale, 60 speaking on THE Universe
ties and Modern Business suggested
playfuly that each university should have
it's trust, and, after assigning various
combines to the different universities,
said: sI ~. -
Somebody else can take John Mitchell
and the strikers. They are the biggest
trust of ALL" .g. * <. ~.
This reused Wayne MacVeagh, Yale,
SO. who said, speaking on The Univers-
tiles and Public Affairs
1.-THE university man must pay more at
tention to great question like the coal
trouble. An immense industry had
drifted out of the hands Of the men in
charge-honest, we'll meaning men, as
capable as you and I. But it had drifted
cut of their hands, and the nation was
face to face with g winter without coal.
Then a, graduate of university did APP
pear and said coal must be mined And
he was the chief executive. Then an
other graduate appeared, of almost equal
authority, the financial leader. and he
said, coal must be mined. But the issue
was not entirely settled by either or both
of them. 1t depended not upon the uni
versity graduate but upon the graduate of
coal mine who said, If arbitration is
conceded for which I have been asking
for eight months, coal will be mined -,s.
Arbitration was granted and coal was
mined but if one had been less persuasive
and another had not agreed then the
mines would have been Theoretically
sealed for the winter. You must deal not
alone with the coal barons-you must deal
with the men who mine the coal and bring
it to the surface. You must administer the
government with the ideals of civic vir-
tue" .a. . i: ens'.- '.f
Mr.. MacVeagh was followed by Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard who suggested that
each of the gentlemen preceding him had
slightly wandered from his subject, re-
ferred pleasantly to Mr.. MacVeagh's i'm
petuosity and led the discussion into quiet
channels His subject was 1.-THE Univers-
tiles and the Learned Professions" b.
Professor Hadley Of Yale was the first
speaker on the subject of 1.-THE Ameri-
can Universities" He told how America
was working out its own university prob
lens along its own lines saying: ut is
impossible to import ready made an Eng
lish or German university system" -

Colds give more work to the doctor
and undertaken than any other COM
plant. "-MUNYON.
IF I were asked which of my rene
dies I consider the most valuable, should
unhesitatingly say the Cold Cure-par-
tieularly at this season Of the year. The
last week has been a regular cold breeder,
and fortunate are those who escaped. l
regard a cold as the most dangerous of
all ailments. It leads to grip, catarrh,
neuralgia, sore throat, pneumonia and con-
sumption. ~,t
Colds attack the bowels and kidneys,
and set the rheumatic in agony; in fact,
colds may be termed the parent of near
ly all pains. I know that most people
look upon colds as a trifling ailment.
This is mistake, for colds give more
work to the doctor and undertaken than
any other complaint. Get rid of the cold
to-day, not tomorrow. Don't let it get
two or three days the start of you. Have
my Cold Cure ready to use as soon as
I you begin to sneeze, shiver, or feel that
you are taking cold
You can make no better investment
