PETITIONS IN BANKRUPTCY,
Mr.. Brandenburg's Report Shows a
Gradually Decreasing Number.

q. c. Brandenburg, in charge of bank
ruptcy affairs for the government, has
made his report on the operations of the
bankruptcy law for the fiscal year. This
report shows that the aggregate number of
voluntary petitions filed during the year
was 1894 as against 1900 in the year
1901, and 1000 in the year 1900, showing
gradual decrease in the number Of insol-
vents taking advantage Of the law. During
the same period 2,10O involuntary petitions
were filed The gradual decrease in the
number of nsolvents is a good barometer
Of the prevailing business conditions.
The states showing the greatest number
of voluntary proceedings were New York
with $l,906 cases; Illinois, 1,S14; Alabama
1,436; Massachusetts, LAOS; Maine, $50;
Ohio, no, and Iowa. 625. In the report of
year ago Illinois led the list, with 2 1856
petitions.
The report also shows that the smallest
number filed was one case in Alaska, six
each in Arizona, New Mexico and Porto
Rico, seven in Nevada, eleven In Hawaii

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Fall of an Employe of a Window
Cleaning Company.


Arthur Shields, twentyseven years old,
fell from the second-story rear window at
928 Pennsylvania avenue northwest about
10 o'clock this morning and was instantly
killed. He was in the employ Of the Cap
ital Window Cleaning Company, and was
at work when he met with the fatal acct
dent. The unfortunate man was in a win
dow In the manufacturing jewelry estab-
liShment Of Mr.. Ira w. Johannes and al
though number Of men were at work In
the room at the time, c. H. Leiding, the
mans employer, was the only one who wit
messed the accident.
Shields, it is stated, was seated on the
windowsill, and had just finished washing
window when he lost his balance and fell
out the window. His head struck on the
top of a fence about twelve feet below the
window, crushing his skull and causing
instant death. His body then fell to the al
ley below. The sight was CHASTITY one.
A number of curious persons gathered in
the alley and remained until the arrival of
the dead wagon, when the body was re-
moved to the morgue
Shields had been employed by another
window cleaning company, and today was
his first service under Mr. Leiding He
boarded at 1923 7th street northwest. His
wife and one child live in New York. He
received a letter from his wife one day
last week, in which she said she would see
him in a short time. Friends of the dead
man will notify Mrs. Shields of the death
If they succeed in getting her address

FOR THE SAKE OF SCIENCE.
Young Men Will Eat Chemically Pre-
served Food.

Twelve young men employed In the Agrl-
cultural Department, who have volunteered
for the sake of sanitary science, have en-
tered on system of dieting that will last
4 year. This means they will be fed all
kinds of food which has been adulterated
and the results carefully noted, to deter
mine the exact effect of these impure ad-
mixtures.
The twelve volunteers sat down to their
first meal at breakfast time yesterday. DR..
Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, who is In charge, ate of the food
prepared for the others.
For ten days all the food served will be
absolutely pure.
The menu card for breakfast consisted of
thick. rare beefsteak, friend potatoes, pure
butter without salt or coloring matter
French long loaf bread and coffee with
sugar and cream.
The noon luncheon consisted of oysters
stewed in milk, bread and butter, mashed
potatoes and coffee.
The dinner comprised roast beef, boiled
potatoes celery, with dessert Of roasted ap-
pies and coffee.
The names of the twelve volunteers are
not given out but each has a number and
will be observed under his particular nu-
neral.
At the expiration of ten days the expert
ments with adulterared food will begin. DIR.
Wiley has practically decided TO take up
either borax or boric acid for the first ex-
pertinent. These are substances added to
preserve meats. They are found IN sau-
sage, hams and other meat shipped long
distances. Boric acid is used in preserving
butter.
Other ingredients employed for the pres
ervation and adulteration OF food will be
taken up In turn and repeated experiments
made with each.

PERPETUAL CONTROL
MOST DIFFICULT QUESTION IN
CANAL NEGOTIATIONS.
Problem Has Been Successfully Met
DR.. Herran to Confer With Sec
rotary Hay Tomorrow.

Following the change in the Colombian
negotiators reported yesterday, steps have
been taken to Immediately resume the ex-
changes between the State Department and
the Colombian legation with view to the
perfection Of a canal treatry. DR.. Herran,
who is to conduct the negotiations for Co
lombia, when at the State Department yes
terday asked an appointment with Secre-
tary Hay to begin this work and, the Sec
rotary having returned from New York over
night, he was today informed that he
might call for that purpose tomorrow.
1t is understood that there are no ma
terial changes in the instructions under
which DR.. Herran is to act, as compared
with those given to Senior Concha and it
was, in the opinion of the State Depart
ment only the minister's inability to ra
tionally construe these instructions that
made 1t impossible for the negotiations to
progress. Now DR.. Herran, while acting
under the same Instructors. will 1t is ex-
pected. take much more liberal view of
their meaning and have first in mind the
earnest desire of his own government to
make a treaty with the United States.
Approaching the negotiations In such a
spirit it is not doubted that DR.. Herran will
succeed In his purpose. 1t is now known
that what was regarded as the most al.,I-
cult problem to solve has been successfully
met by the negotators, in the arrangement
or the perpetual control clause of the
projected treaty. The provision that strip
of land should be leased to the United States
for one hundred years, with the privilege
of renewal, has been so framed that Co
lombia's consent is not necessary to such
renewal; the United States may hold in
definitely and that arrangement is held to
fully meet the terms of the Spooner act
while being also acceptable to Colombia.
The real difference now Is found in the
matter Of compensation to be paid Colom-
bia which seeks an increase Of annuity to
the sum of more than half million dollars
per annum. The Colombian government
justifies its demand on that point by the
statement that its annual payments from
the Panama railroad company, together
with port dues and other sources of in
come, which 1t must abandon when the
canal is built, approximate 100000 per

Gets Three Months in Jail.

Edward Small, colored, nineteen years of
age, was convicted on a charge Of false
pretenses after having a hearing in the
Police Court this morning. and was SEN
fenced TO term of three months in jail.
The evidence developed that Small had
been employed by Charles Hopkins last
week to drive a wagon and that he met
Louis TaIbert, colored, near the corner of
It'll and L streets northwest Friday and
that the latter, who was also driving a
horse attached to a wagon, intimated that
he would like to get better vehicle The
court was informed that the men exchanged
wagons and that Talbert gave Small S.
Saturday Hopkins. according to the testi-
mony, found Small seated on his wagon,
and the explanation which followed led to
the arrest of Small yesterday.
Judge kimball directed the defendant to
make restitution of the So or spend one
month additional In Jail.

Our SCraWnV
People.

Not all thin people are in actual
i'll health, but undue thinness means
danger, and 'scrawny" thinness
means the result of wasting, when
wrinkles and loss of strength as well
as loss of weight show that some
thing is wrong.
This something may be worry,
extra work, care of the sick, nervous
arrangement, dyspepsia, bowel
troubles, or the first sign of the
onset of serious disease like con-
sumption or kidney trouble.
How often we hear: Shed be a
pretty woman if she wasn't so hor-
ribly thin!' It's too bad, for most
of these thin women are sick
The best thing we have found for
thin people, whatever the cause of
the thinnesS, is Vinol. 1t seems to
nourish at once, and also to start
an appetite for good food. 1t was a
great discovery to combine the me-
dicinal properties of cod liver oil with
organic iron in such powerful and
yet pleasant-tasting preparation, and
we'll be glad to tell you how we got
hold of it, if you'll call at the store.
Anyhow, if you are thin, and want
more flesh and strength, try a bottle
of Vinol. If you aren't pleased, we
pay the money back.
Remember fat doesn't create fat;
so you don't need the greasy kind
of cod liver oil to increase weight.
Vinol is better and tastes delicious.
