in this country.
 The failure of the act of 1891 had nothing to do with the principal involved. but was due entirely to errors in details. These errors the present bill corrects In adjusting itself to the facts accumulated during ten years and to the changed and greatly enhanced conditions of our com Want Equal Showing.
 "The great point aimed at Is to give the showing with other countries. There are men of capital, numerous such men, who are anxious to invest their money Tn ships, but they are too greatly handi. capped by the subsidized vessels of other ing vessels in this country. It costs in the United States $102 ton to build ocean-going ships while in England the cost is only $76. The American seaman is paid $36 month. while the British sea bill proposes to equalize American and foreign costs upon these figures as basis.
 And any really great expenditure un- is impossible. Compliance with the bil as law. going into effect July l. iso2 would mean an expenditure at the out set of less than $9o0,000. The completion of 100000 tons of ocean steamers for the foreign trade would place the United States ahead of Germany as shipbuild- ing nation. yet all that tonnage would call for but $1 ,30o. 900 in subsidies.
 The full contemplated American ocean mall system to Europe, Jamaica and Havana, sailings twice a week; to vene- zuela once in ten days and to Brasil once in two weeks would call for at most about g, 350.000; while the full service on tho Pacific, to Hawaii, the Philippines China, Japan and the Far East general. ly would amount to but $2.3S 900. Other ships will of course swell these totals as the general subsidy Is open to al ships exceeding 1000 tons which may bs completed and registered after the pas sage of the act.
 But the utmost expenditure under the act will be small trifie compared with the vast expansion of our trade and com merce that Is certain to result.
 "The building of merchant marine has become absolutely essential to thu United States. and that Is what the ship subsidy bill is for--it Is to extend Amer ican commerce and commercial prestige and influence; and 1t will result in the training of an army of men to seafaring life. thereby assuring to our navy a full and constant force of seamen.
 The bill. viewed in any way will work incalculable good for this country"

MAKES CHILL DREN BRAINY.
 Proof About Feeding.

It has been proven times without num- Der that properly selected food will build up the brain. The testimony of school teacher on this subject Is good. The let ter is long and only the important facts will be given:
 While I was teaching school in 1898, a little girl in the household where lived was very fond of Grape-Nuts and would eat all she was allowed. I noticed that she was a remarkably bright pupil. There were five other children, all of one fam iIy. that were so marked Tn their work. They were really the brightest family I ever knew, so I questioned to find what they were using They replied Only Grape-Nuts.' I learned upon further in- ouiry that this was their chief diet for breakfast and discovered that their luncheon consisted genefally of Grape Nuts with cream and little fruit.
 T had suffered from dyspepsia, head aches and general debility greatly and, as I knew, my diet was not well selected. I took up Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food and carried 1t to school for luncheon. soon discovered a change in my condi- ton and found that Grape-Nuts afforded more nourishment than bread, meat, eggs or anything that could take in my bas- ket. After luncheon I would feel strong and bright for the afternoons work while before had frequently been half i'll.
 In the spring of 1900 I went to college. rented a room and boarded myself. sub sisting largely on Grape-Nuts, and I can not speak too highly of the food as a brain nourisher. At the end of a year schooling obtained a position in one of the ward schools in this. a college town. and am well and happy.
 ''The wife of the college principal tells me that there is no food that agrees with her as well as Grape-Nuts and that testi- mony was repeated by a lady friend in my own home" Name given by Postum O., Battle Greek, Mich.

CASE OF BEN DANIELS
HE MUST REFUTE THE CHARGES
 AGAINST HIM.
President Calls on His Appointee to Disprove the Statement That
 He Has Served e Term in the Pen.

New Orleans, Feb. GA special to The Times Democrat says:
 By the prompt action of President Roosevelt today 1t is now up to" Bon Daniels, whose confirmation for United States marshal from Arizona was con- sidered by the Senate yesterday, to prove whether pr not he has a criminal record, and whether or not. he deliberately told a falsehood to the President and to the Attorney General
 The President caused telegram to be sent by the United States District At torney of Colorado, where Daniels's crtm- inaI acts are alleged to have taken place, asking that he obtain at once the facts of the accused mans career from official records. He also sent telegram to Daniels himself. calling on him to dis prove, if possible without delay the alle- gations made against him and directing him not to enter upon the duties of office of marshal until further orders.
 Mir. Roosevelt Is determined to sift the matter to the bottom. Daniels told the President and Attorney General when he was in Washington that he had no crim- inal record. If it appears that he did not tell the truth the Prssident will undoubt- edly administer such a rebuke when he withdraws the nomination from the Sem ate as will be warning to all other can didates for office.

THE CHICAGO EXPLOSION.
Now Believed That Eleven Persons
 Were Killed,

Chicago, Feb. 6.--It Is believed that eleven is the correct number of people who lost their lives by the explosion of the gas in the Trcstel butcher shop at s76 Twenty-second Street last night. The bodies charred past human seinblance in the majority of cases lay at a neurby morgue today, while firemen assisted by labcrers still dug in the ruins. on the bare possibility that more bodies might be under the debris.
 Fire Chief Musham today declared his belief that the explosion was that of a pool of gas. A force of laborers were put at work at daybreak, tearing up and repairing the gas pipes which figured in in the butcher shop When the Coroner learned of it, he ordered the work stop ped. T want no change in plans made unless necessary until have investigat- ed fully to discover if negligence was in any way responsible for the loss of life, '' said he.
 The following is believed to be cor rect list of the dead:
 Trostel, Otto. owner of butcher shop.
 Trostel, Augusta, wife of above.
 Trostel. Otto, Jr., aged Il years.
 Trostel, Anna. aged years.
 Trostcl, Lena, aged years.
 Trostel, Minnie, aged years
 Trostel Cbaby), aged years.
 Trostel, Fred. nephew of Otto Trostel.
 Kniepp. Sophia. niece of Mrs. Trostei.
 Rosenthal. Mary, aged 2 years, neighhor visiting shop.
 Otto" an employe, last name not known.
 The cause of the explosion has not yet been fixed.
 The experts of the Peoples Gas Com pany are Investigating the cause, and are as yet uncertain. They think some one was thawing out a pipe and that the explosion resulted. The City Fire Marshal is likewise uncertain as to the first cause.
 The most graphic story of the accident was told by J. Pauley. of 66 Twenty second Place, who stood across the street when the building went up. The first thing I knew" he said, T was blown against a telegraph pole. was facing the street, and 1t seemed as If the whole building rose in the air and then collapsed into the cellar heap or ruins. Everything was on fire at once.
 ''Then I caught sight of man crawl. ing out from the basement. He did not seem to be badly hurt and called for help, 1 recognized him as the sausage maker Trostel had hired few days be- fore. .,,,, s..
 'eThe first explosion in the building dis connected the gas mains. and they caught fire at once. Five minutes later the man hole west in Archer Avenue blew up with a report almost as loud as the tirst. The man-hole to the east followed Tn a few minutes"

TESTIMONY OF s. W. PLUME.
Contractor Gives the Panama Route
 a Black Eye.

Washington. Feb. 6.-S. W. Plume of New Orleans testified before the Senate Committee on Interoceanic Canals today regarding the easibillty of the Panama route for a canal Mir. Plume is a con- tractor and railroad man and in the lat. ter capacity spent five years as road master of the Panama Railroad.
 He said the difficulty of excavatiny a canal in that region would be very great because of the character of the soil The country, according to his account, Is full of small springs which keep the soil in such a moist condition that it Is quite impossible to handle it except in the most tedious and expensive manner. He also spoke of the section as the most un- healthy on the American continent, say ing that of tfty-three men sent to the isthmus as engineers. superintendents. clerks. etc. all but three had died within three months.

SAVED HIS TRUNK. It Was Held for Unpaid Board
 Bills

Before Justice J. B. Fuller yesterday was tried a case that involved the eth- ics of leaving a boarding house and an unpaid board bill at the same time. How to successfully accomplish this feat has racked the brain of unnumbered impecu- nious roomers. Divers and sundry schemes have been worked but the case tried yesterday was practically new in every particular
 Before Justice Fuller Mrs. w H. Me- Clain prosecuted Otto Joiner for assault and battery. Joiner had been boarding with Mrs. McClain. He admitted that he still owed a balance on his board bill when he decided to move He claims that his landlady gave him permission to move his trunk to his new boarding house. but when she saw him taking it out of the house she raised an objection. Mrs McClain claimed that Joiner rudely showed her away from the trunk when she attempted to stop him. This Joiner denied. He said that he never used any rudeness at all. In this contention the balance of evidence sustained him and he was victorious in the law suit, re- ceiving a clear discharge. In the affair he not only secured a legal victory but secured his trunk as well.

MARKIE ON MITCHELL.

John Markie, the leading individual
coal operator, said in recent interview;
Gas to Mr.. MitchelPs declaration that
in the Shenandoah region, where the
troops for weeks have been stationed to
check the general lawlessness, men have
not returned to work, it is fact that the
mine workers there have received the
best of care from the union and larger
part of the strikers benefit funds, /
think. This fact of the men not return
ing to the mines there, where there are
plenty of militiamen, has been used TO
taunt the operators. Hundreds of
certifcated miners are now at work to-
day cutting coal. They are part of the
I47, 900 Mr. Mitchell claims are standing
solidly together and aloof from the
mines. 1t is an absolute fact, no omatter
what Mr.. Mitchell says, that the great
majority of the employees would 60 to
work ifthey were not molested or inter
fered with. II must be borne in mind
all the time that small minority of
men, controlled by professional agitators,
are holding back those who would go to
work, notify persuasion, as we understand
the word, but by intimidation, coercion
and bodily injury to those who attempt it.
| think not 6, but 20, murders have
been committed since this strike began,
murders committed as a result of these
mine workers striking. As to Mr..
Mitchells protestations that he II leave
everything to arbitrators, it is well to go
back to September 10, 1900. On that
day in speech he made at Jeddo, after
all his positive assertions about our arbi-
tration agreement not being bona fide,
and after he had asked me to, and | had
said / would, adhere to and abide by the
arbitrators' verdict, he said, addressing
an audience of our men, i ask you for
the sake of your down. trodden and
struggling fellow-workmen, who do not
enjoy such advantages as you possess,
to go OH strike and help them win their
battle. The few must suffer for the
many. How can we arbitrate with the
man who persuaded our workmen to
violate the very principle of arbitration,
from which he now expects to profit?'
