fore VIKING them. The instructions
referred To have become known as 1.-The

sued by him directly following the
boycott established by China against
the importation of American goods.
1t was the principal subject of dis
cuss.on at yesterdays cabinet meeting
wl.ca Secretary Metcalf was unable
II attend on account Of illness. He
expressed great surprise today upon
learning that in his absence the cabi-
net members present took the position
that the regulations OF the depart

sponsible for the strained relations be-
tween the two countries, over the sub

Close Inquiry Into Financial T~ransac-
tons Which Made Him a Rich Man
While Serving the Government.

Chicago, October 4.-Inquiry into
the financial transactions of Captain
o. NJ. Carter, which netted him a for
tune Of 100000 in a few years, and
resulted in his serving five years in
the military prison at Leavenworth,
Kas., ON a charge of defrauding the
federal government, was resumed to-
day before Special Examiner Richard
" .Wyman. Assistant States Att0r-
ney General Irwin questioned the de-
PENDANT closely regarding a series of
bond deals made in New York in OcIo-
Der 1895. Documentary evidence was
introduced by The attorneys for the
federal government showing that the
defendant purchased railroad bonds
aggregating 100000 in October 1895.
Captain Carter explained that the
money used in acquiring these securi-
ties belonged to r, +. Westcott, his
father-in-law. Carter said that he
simply acted as Westcott's financial
agent in the transactions.
The government produced bank
books and accounts which showed that
in nearly every instance the interest
coupons of these bonds were later de-
posted to the credit of Captain Car
ter's personal bank account.
The defendant declared that it was
done under direction Of his father-in-
law who was travelling in Europe at
the time.
This was Captain Carriers ninth
consecutive day on the witness stand.
1t is expected it will take several more
weeks for the government attorneys to
complete Tho cross examination Of

Letter to John II. kuch.


Dear Sir: 1t costs two Or three
times as much to put paint on as to
buy it. A gallon of poor paint costs
as much as a gallon of good, for the
work; and a gallon of poor dom. go
half as far. Poor paint lasts half Or
a third Or a quarter as long as good:
and projects wood and and iron a half
or a third or a quarter as we'll as
good.
Do you buy good paint or poor? You
don't know any poor? Why, the mar
ket is full of it!
