all the encouragement the professional traders
wanted and under their combined offerings the
price yielded easily. On the way down some
support was met. but It too slight to check
the downward movement. There was no news.
Specialists reported steady liquidation of mod
crate lots. AT the same time the Waldorf clique
and Mr.. Keene were credited with good deal Of
short selling.
. ST. Paul-The decline in st. Paul started with
heavy selling by c. II. Dewitt & Co. followed
by room traders generally. The Waldorf clique
and the Chicago party were credited with being

afternoon the rumor circulated that Mr. William

TO DRAFT ONLY A
TEMPORARY BILL
Senator Aldirch Announces His Com
mittee Will Report a Com
promise Measure.
New York Sun Special Service.

Providence, R. l., Aug. Ex-senator
Aldrich, chairman of the senate sub
committee which has been considering a
new currency measure, is authority for the
statement that while the committee has
not departed from its determination to
devise some simple, conservative measure
for the betterment of financial conditions,
1t has decided to exclude from the bill
any reference to asset currency or any
other detail upon which a disagreement of
the senate and house would be likely.
It Is the belief of the committee that
in the short time before congress Is con-
vened 1t would be practically impossible
to frame with any hope Of it's adoption a
comprehensive currency measure that
would embrace all the larger questions
that will yet have to be dealt with
The energies Of the committee, there
fore, are being devoted to paving the way
for the passage Of a simple bill to meet
present needs.

which lead to want OF confidence among
those who are urging the inquiry, in the
secretary's ability to conduct an impair
tial investigation. To cite but one Of a
number of cases on which this view Is
based, formal charges have been made
to the president that large sums of money
realized from sales Of town lots in sew
eral thriving young cities In Oklahoma,
instead Of being expended for public uses,
as was provided by act Of congress, have
been deposited in St. Louis banks in
which Mr.. Hitchoock's friends are inter-
ested as stockholders. The secretary is
a st. Louis man.
The citizens Of number of Oklahoma
towns have appealed to Secretary Hitch
cock to use these funds for installing
waterworks In their respective towns, etc.,
but they have appealed to him in vain.
The only substantial reason Mr.. Hitch
cock advances for withholding these funds
from their proper use for improvements
in the towns Is there is a crowd Of loot
ers" down there who would steal the
money If taken out Of the banks.

Chicago Raw Food Society Says
Rockefeller Owes That Sum
for His New Stomach.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Aug. 2o-"John D. Rockefel-
Ter owes the Chicago Raw Food society
81, 600, 900 for a new stomach
This statement Is made by Professor
Byron Tyler, president of the society, who
declares he prescribed a diet Of raw cere-
ais for the oil magnate, and soon after
wards sent Mr.. Rockefeller a quantity
Of macerated wheat, used by members Of
the society in the place Of bread. Mr..
Rockefeller has improved steadily in
health since he received the new food,
the professor asserts.
why. Rockefeller's hair is growing for
the first time In years, and it is said his
badness will disappear" remarked Pro-
fessor Tyler. "He actually is unwilling
to attribute the improvement to the raw
cereal diet!
Il told Rockefeller to abandon his milk
and crackers and see he has done so,''
said the professor. eff he has made any
improvement 1t surely ought to be consid-
cred due to our method, for understood
he has observed it faithfully"

ach was reported to have been made last

from President Roosevelt. Secretary Cor
telyou declined to discuss the subject, but
acknowledged that reports from all the
different branches of the government on
the relations of the labor unions to gov
eminent work has been called for. From
other official sources it was learned that
the purpose Of the investigation is to de-
termine whether labor unions are attempt
ing to exercise any control over govern
ment employees.
The report sent to the department Of
commerce by the secretary of war and the
acting secretary of the navy show several
instances in which labor organizations at
tempted to dictate to the authorities. The
report from the war department disclosed
the fact that at several ordnance factories
labor unions had interfered with the poll
cy of the officers in charge
Union Secretary Protested.
At the Watertown arsenal the secretary
Of labor organization protested against
the purchase Of material by contract from
contractors who, it was charged, worked
their men more than eight hours day.
At another arsenal there was trouble be-
cause the union sought to influence the
services of Workmen on piece work.
At the Brooklyn navy yard labor
union urged that only one class of en-
ployes should put into naval vessels the
small gas pipes thru which electric wires
are carried. AS explained at the navy de-
partment to-day, 1T was a question wheth-
er workmen belonging to the gasftters
union or the electrical union should do
the work. The question was settled, how
ever, without any difficulty because the
officials of the navy department de-
termined to do what they pleased In the
matter and would not be dictated to by the
union.
"Roasted" Nom Union Men.
An interesting feature of the efforts Of
the labor unions to cause trouble for nom
union men working in shops with union
men is disclosed in Secretary Darling's
report. It Is shown that while the unions
took no direct part in these efforts as
labor organizations the union men sought
to prejudice the officials against nom
union men by charging that they were not
capable mechanics
The result Of the inquiry made by the
war department indicated that there had
been less interference with the workmen
in the ordnance factories, armories and
arsenals than in any navy department.
1t was said at the war department to-
day that one reason why the government
had experienced little trouble with labor
unions at the arsenals was that there Is
in existence an old statute making it q
punishable offense to enttce workmen from
any arsenal or armory.
Adjutant General Corbin was called
upon by Secretary Root to make an in
uuiry into labor conditions at the ma
tional soldiers home, but the reply re-
ceiyed from the governors showed that but
little labor was employed and that of the
workmen about the home only few be-
longed to any labor organization.
