BAD RUN IN PENNSYLVANIA.
DR., Warren Asks Clergymen to Preach
Abstinence.

PHILADELPHIA. July DISSATISFACTION
over liquors having been taken away from
the Dairy and Food Department by a deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, DR.. B. H. Warren, the Commissioner
of the department. to-day began to send
copies of an appeal to more than 5000
clergymen throughout the State, asking
them to adjure their congregations to alb
stain from all alcoholic liquors, at least tenn
porarily as a guard to their health.
Dr. Warren points out that certain I'M
scrupulous dealers, confident that they are
removed from the power and scope Of the
dairy and food commission under the de-
cision of the Supreme Court. have begun
to flood the State with liquors adulterated
with poisonous drugs. He declares that the
safety of the public health lies only in alb
stinence from all alcoholic liquors for the
present time. The decision which caused
the trouble was to the effect that the act
under which the dairy and food depart
ment prosecutions are brought does not refer
to liquors, but confines attention to food.
Dr. Warren says that the next Legislature.
which does not meet until January, 1908.
shall be appealed to, but that in the mean
time he will hunt for way to reach the
liquor adulterators.

lion rampant, the harp and the Tudor rose,

randum, of which the following is a copy,
is one Of the documents: A silver tobacco
pipe, given by William Penn to Joseph
Peckowr. a Quaker, who left it by will to

KING TOLD or SPANS MISERY.
Minister Of Agriculture WIN Call Confer.
encs to Seek Means Of Relief.

Special Cdos Despdfch 10 The SUN.
MADRID. July lo.-Sehor Romanones,
the Minister Of Agriculture, has presented
to King Alfonso a memorial upon the SUBJ
ject Of tho national distress. He points
out that foodstuffs and other articles of
prime necessity are enormously dear in
the interior. fact which is due to the i'm
practical operation Of the railroads and
prohibitive freight rates
The crops of Andalusia and La Mancha
are, he says, totally lost. 1t is impossible
to relieve the starving provinces or allevi-
ate the distress. Reducing the duties
on foreign wheat and -four has benefited
only the ports 1t has not benefited the
nha bitants of the inland districts SPANS
coal bearing regions, covering 100000
acres. hardly have been touched, and the
result is tho necessity Of importing two
million tons Of coal annually
Minister Romanones proposes to call
conference Immediately Of the most
prominent manufacturers, agriculturists
and railroad men Of the country and also
of working,nen to devise some plan OF
remedying the faults that exist and re-
lievng the misery.

President Waiting for Reports or Attorney
General Moody and Cotton Association.
OYSTER Bar. \. Y. July lO.-President
Roosevelt. 1t is understood here, is much
wrought up by the cotton report leak,
and it is probable that criminal proseou-
ton may result from che investigation by
the Secret Service. not unlike tho ruthless
and Wholesale prosecutions in the post
office department Thus far the matter
has not been laid before the President
formally, but it is known that so far back
as last Tuesday, when the President was
on his way to Secretary Hays funeral,
he and Secretary Wilson had long talk
on conditions in the Department Of Agri-
culture, with particular reference 70 the
cotton scandal.
United States District Attorney Beach
of the District Of Columbia, after a more
or less superficial examination of the case,
thought that he did not have sufficient
evidence for criminal proceedings against
Holmes, the assistant statistican who is
alleged to have given out advance informa-
ton to certain cotton brokers. But the
Department of Justice will not let the matter
rest at that, and Attorney General Moody
now has it under consideration.
Before many days, it Is expected, the
President will have before him the report
of Mr. Moody and that of the Southern
Cotton Association. The latter report the
President must have before he can take
any action as to the retiring or dismissal
of John Hyde, the chief statistician. Richard
Chatham, secretary, and Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton, are now comforting with view to
drawing up report.

FUND TO AID BERTHE CLAICHE
STORY OF HER WRONGS brings
SUBSTANTIAL SYMPATHY.
Respectable French People Indignant Over
Revelations Concerning Conduct Of
Their Deprayed conference.-the
City Lately q Mecca for Iibertines.


Even with the penalty for taking human
life hanging over her, Berthe Claiche, the
young French woman who for five years
had been the slave of Emil Gerdron, whom
she shot down on the street on Saturday
night, seemed quieter in mind in her cell
in the Tombs yesterday than she had been
for long time before.
The more that Is revealed Of the life
Gerdron compelled the unhappy creature
to live the more sympathy she gains. A
fund has been raised for her defense and
counsel has been engaged, under whose
advice she yesterday refused to see any
one.
Her mother. Mrs. Louis Leon, also re-
fused to talk The stepfather would say

1T is finished" he said, there is nothing
more to tell. 1t is too frightful to talk
about. There is her picture on the wall
Oh, how she has suffered
The picture, evidently taken a good
while. ago, showed rather pretty and de-
cdedly gentle young face.
The home at 200 Seventh avenue is only
few blocks from the undertaker's room
in which Gerdron's body lay.
All day men and women, all French and
all Of the Tenderloin type, were coming and
going at the undertaker's. The dead man
Law in a coffin in a rear room. His broad
chest, tattooed over the heart with a hand
grasping bloody dagger. was exposed,
showing the wound that killed him.
Tears that left smudgy, meandering tracks
over painted cheeks flowed abundantly
from the eyes Of women who came to see
the dead man. He was a leading light
among the unspeakable colony OF his kind.
There are swarms Of such as he in that
Tenderloin neighborhood where they have
their club.
There's been a great palavering among
'em since that big stiff got what was coming
to him." said policeman yesterday whose
beat is In the neighborhood. 1T makes

There are many industrious and re-
spectacle French people in that quarter

men Of theirs.
II hear there has been a swarm Of those
creatures coming to this country for the
past six or seven months" said one Of
these respectable French residents yes
terday.
1T has been a matter Of comment for
some time. They bring their slaves with
them and some OF them have three or four,

half a dozen guillotinee put to work in the
neighborhood, 1t would clear the atmos-
pierre
Great preparations have been made by
these people Of the Gerdron type for the
funeral Of the late ornament Of their guild
which Is fixed for to-day at o clock at the
Seventh avenue undertaker's shop.
