Indianapolis. Sept. 2O.-Thomas Taggart

noon. and 1t is said that he wen in response to
a dispatch calling him there in connection with
the insurance investigation and the question Of

TWO TRANSACTIONS DIFFERENT.


Mr. Mccall could not tell without the ledgers
when the checks were returned to Hamilton.
In March, 1904, when he was talking 1t over
with the Albany man, he did not take his check
for the 100000 nor for the 100000 The COM
pany took checks for the $4,000 because it
represented money which in way would be
applied for the annex building. The other sums
were money given in advance for the purchase
of that annex building, said Mr.. Mccall. AS
yet there had been no occasion for the expendit
ure OF the money. If no checks from Hamilton
had been carried for the $4,000 the company
would have been placed in the light of disburs-
ing in December $4,000 for legal expenses,
which was not true. In 1904 the situation was
not similar.
This $4,000 had been passed out by the COM
pany strictly on corporation business. said Mr.
Mccall rather warmly, in answer to further
questions. He thought it had been entered on
the books entirely properly. Mr.. Hughes asked
again, referring to the two transactions:
Q.-what is the difference then? A-Because the

mt5ee or any other committee or officer of the
company Mr. Mccall testified. These payments
TO Hamilton including the 100000. were az
vances against the purchase of the printing
house property; still they had never been used
for that purpose. although Mr. Hamilton sew
eral times had been called on to spend rnonAv
for that purpose to the extent OF 100000 This
money he had used and paid.

ter and Makes IL Dry.
From the New York World.
We have to thank his majesty the sun
that there are fewer peroxide blondes now
adays and that the fashionable color Is q
subdued red. not Titan exactly nor what
used to be called Carrot" but shade be-
tween.
You see. the sun combined with ocean
breezes makes the all too blonde woman
glaringly advertise the origin Of her golden
locks There is truly nothing more pitiful
than beautifully waved head of yellow
hair slowly but surely turning all shades for
Sunday as it grows straighter and stray
glier in the play of the salt sea wind. AS
this inevitably happens, women are growing
daily wiser, leaving their peroxide bottles
at home and allowing the sun with an oc-
casional outside aid to give their locks the
desired color.
It Is of course to be understood that no
woman is quite satisfied with the color of
her hair. II there Is one should be glad
to know her and see what particular shade
has proved so satisfactory. We have all
seen the perfect color, but unfortunately 1t
has been on other women's heads. while we
are forced to resort to potato-peel washes,
bluing, peroxide and when we get the
chance sunshine. Sunlight is very often
recommended as the greatest hair restorer,
and so 1t n In moderation. but the scorch-
ing process given to what may be called
the seaside hair Is almost as detrimental
to the hair as it Is to the complexion.
