SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS
GOVERNOR CAFOLLETTE MAKES
GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST
STATE TREASURER.

Milwaukee, Aug. 25.-A Sentinel
special from Madison, Wis, says:
Governor Lafollette sent State
Treasurer John ]. Kempf a letter
Wednesday giving his reasons in de-
tail for ordering the treasurer to fur
nish a larger bond and fixing IL o'clock
of Aug. 80 for the time within which it
must be furnished. The governor
makes the sensational charge that the
state treasurer has made personal
loans from various banks which are
state repositories, upon personal notes
and amounting to many thousands of
dollars, and that such loans were ex-
tended simply because Kempf was
state treasurer, the banks not refusing
the loans through fear that if they did,
the states money would be withdrawn
from them.
The governor says that the legisla-
ture should prohibit such practices.
The governor also states that he is in
formed that the surety company
which has furnished the present bond
of the treasurer has refused to In
crease it to the amount desired.

SUN PARLoRs A FAD.

New Workers Building Them on
Roof Tops.
Believing that untold good will de-
rive from them, many wealthy New
Workers. are having the roofs Of their
residences equipped with sun parlors,
and it is thought that in time many
less wealthy persons will be able to
spend three or four hours a day during
the winter months in the warn rays Of
the sun, says the New York Journal.
The first New Yorker to inaugurate
these sun bath parlors is Robert H. Nc
Curdy, manager of the Mutual Life
Insurance company. He has ordered
plans from his architects for a sun
bathing parlor on the roof of his fire
proof residence at II East Ninth street,
and it is expected that it will be finish
ed some time in December.
The parlor will have a southwestern
exposure, and the McCurdy family will
have the benefit Of Old Sol for many
hours during a bright day.
r. w. W%interburn, a representative
of Mr.. McCurdy's architects, said:
"Physicians have always recommend
ed plenty of sun during the winter
months, especially for people who are
slaves to any pulmonary disease. A
few hours in the sun each day will do
untold good to anybody, whether sick
or we'll. The health resorts Of Lake
wood and Colorado are sought just for
the warm rays of the sum-. Why can't
we have health resorts of u own
right here in New York? The sun
is the same in all parts Of the world
when RENTED through glass, and there
is no reason why the sun in New York
won't be as beneficial to lung diseased
people" N5

PANIC IN PAckiNeHousE.
Small Fire Results In Frantic Rush fol
Exits,

Chicago, Aug. 25.-A fire, which in
itself amounted to little, caused a
panic last night in the clearinghouse
Of Nelson Morris & Co., at the stock
yards.
Since the commencement Of the
strike the firm has housed about 200
men and women in it's oleomargarine
building, and last night there were
ninety women and fifty men in the
place when a fire started in a clothes
closet on the fourth floor The cries
Of the people on the fourth floor as
they ran for the stairways brought
out the occupants of the other floors
and for a few minutes there was
fierce fighting in the Railways leading
to the stairs. Finally it was seen by
the occupants of the upper floors that
the fire would amount to nothing and
they turned back and allowed the PEG
pie already on the stairs to reach the
street. There were many torn gar.
ments when the excitement subsidized,
but nobody was injured.

strike leaders admitted last night that
both Schwarzchild & Sulzberger and
the United Dressed Beef company are
10 killing a large number of cattle
daily and that the distribution depart

ing force. 1t is expected that by Sat
urday the most skillful of the old men
will break away from their unions and
try to get back with the trust firms be-
fore all the places are filled. Thus
far the strikers have remained firm
and since the strike a large percentage
of them have been working for the in
dependent packers.

SHAW OPENS THE CAMPAIGN.
Secretary Of the Treasury Speaks in
Montana Capital.

Montana Capital.
Helena, Mont, Aug. 25.-Secretary
Shaw opened the campaign in Mon
tana last evening, speaking to a large
audience at the Auditorium. He spoke
for two hours, devoting his attention
to a definition of the issues between
the two great parties. He defended
the tariff as advocated by the Repub-
lican party, saying that the Democrats
insisted only upon low prices to the
consumer, while the Republicans in
sisted also on a good market for the
producer, whether he produced labor.
raw material or manufacturing mate
rails. He said he would welcome an
issue that would deal with candidates
rather than politics, but he did not
think the Democrats would stick to
that issue as they could not success
fully attack the personal character or
integrity of President Roosevelt.
