Sec. Root TO Investigate
irregularities
GOVERNMENT IS BEING ROBBED
Marble Company In Vermont Said to
be Given Contracts for Head
stones at Excessive Prices

Washington, July S.-The general
investigation flag has been hoisted
over the war department. An inquiry
is being made into the Vermont Mar
BILE Company of Proctor, VT, and its
dealings with the government. SEN
ator Redfield Proctor, former secrs-
tary of war, is said to be the chief
owner of the concern, which had the
contract for supplying the war depart
ment with headstones for deceased
soldiers for several years.
Senator Proctor's son has been a ia
mi1ar figure around the war depart
ment on business connected with these
contracts.
An unusually large number of head
stones was required last year and the
contract was divided between the YER
mont Marble Company and another
concern. When proposals for this
years contract were advertised for the
Vermont company and the concern
VIII NulCH II udu uiNluSa INC lUSI NOA
tract bid within a few cents of each
other at a price between 81 and S..
Meantime there had been complaints
from other marble dealers who
claimed that the Vermont company
had been given the contracts for years
at prices greatly in excess of pre-
vailing rates, and there were hints that
political influence had been used by
which lower bids were thrown out.
These complaints became so strong
that all of the first bids were rejected
this year and the contract was read
vertised.
An investigation is being made shto
the manner in which the contracts
were awarded to the Vermont com.
pany and into Senator Proctor's con
nection Herewith. The legal adviser
of the war department says the law
declares that no congressman "shall
execute, hold, or enjoy, in whole Oh
in part, any contract" with the govern
ment, but this law cannot be invoked
If Proctor is q member of an incor
porated company holding such con
tract, as he claims.

State Department Issues Not
able Statement
TRADE PRIVILEGES ALLUDED TO
Petition to Gar in Behalf Of Fair
Treatment Of Jews in Russia
To be Forwarded Soon

Washington Especial. 1.-The position
of the administration regarding the
transmission Of the petition of the
Jewish citizens OF the United States
to the Russian government was made
very clear and positive by the state
ment authorized by the state depart
ment. The statement was inspired
by newspaper publications rejecting
on the attitude of the Russian govern
ment in the event of a presentation Of
such a petition through the medium
of the United States embassy at St.
Petersburg, which had been brought
to the attention of high officers of the
government. 1t was given a very
careful consideration both here and
at Oyster Bay before the decision
was reached to make any declaration
regarding matters.
The statement says:
1.-THE state department would, of
course, pay no heed to any statement
%purporting to emenate from the Rus
sian government unless such state
ment was made officially, in some
form or other to u own government.
The state department has been spec
tally careful to act only in accordance
with all requirements of official pro-
priety, but within the limits laid down
1t most certainly does not hesitate to
give expression of the deep sympa-
thy felt not only by the administration
but by all American people for the un-
fortunates who have been victims Of
the recent appalling massacres and
outrages.
SIN this connection it was pointed
out by another official who disclaimed
any purpose to speak in his official
capacity, however, that 1t seemed
somewhat strange, to say the least,
that the Russian government should
choose this particular method of max
ing a statement to the American peo-
pie at the very time when, by me-
thods which are certainly the
reverse Of friendly toward the
United States, it has sought to make
China join in breaking the ,plighted
faith of all the powers as to the open
door in M%anchuria, and has endeavor-
ed to bar our people from Access to
Manchurian trade"
The above statement was shown to
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, but he declined to make any com
ment on it. Any reply to this state.
ment must be made under direct in
structions from st. Petersburg. 1t is
realized, both at the state department
and the Russian embassy that the sit.
uation is extremely delicate.

in seeking the withdrawal of Herman
as a bidder in favor Of the present con-
the postmaster general, Herman sub

fered to- re-employ him after the bids
had been opened, at an increased sal

which offer he rejected. Attorney Cen
eral Robb held Herman's bid was In
good faith, that he substantially COM
piled with every condition prescribed,
and that to disregard the bid upon OBJ
jections raised would be against both
reason and sound public policy.
The New York company by the
award lost a contract which it had

"A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
IN notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clearhead,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is a ~favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that SO great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all
