MIR. SIMMONS REToRTs.
Addresses Remarks to "Czar of Street
Cleaning Department"

Mr. Leo Simmons, lawyer, but enormously
termed an "excavating contractor because
he Is having a foundation dug on a piece
of property in Staughton street. has made
another move in the controversy or dispute
which has existed for several days be-
tween him and Mr.. Harrison Stidham, SUI
perintendent of the District street cleaning
department In an interview published in
The Star last evening, Mr.. Stidham takes a
fall out of Mr.. Simmons, in retaliation for
some side remarks made the previous day
by Mr.. Simmons. Last night Mr.. Simmons
was questioned by reporter for The Star,
at the formers home in Yale street.
1.-The car of the street cleaning depart
ment," said Mr. Simmons, undoubtedly is
smarting under the lash. He says he did
not say he would require the horses feet

fore leaving the excavation and the dump

apparent that no one but he who wishes to
back down, would attempt to distinguish
the difference, in such case, from .requir-
ing the horses hoofs cleaned off before
starting over the route and sweeping the
dirt from the street caused thereby.
Il do not care to say anything further,
excepting that there has been no violation
of the law in this instance; and further.
that the car of the street cleaning depart
ment has received no complaint from any
resident of Columbia Heights on account of
the workmen, and by denying the statement
attributed to him he is simply following
out his accustomed habit"

ployer, but she was located at the house of
her own relatives, at 2O2 18th street south
east.
She was in bed when the detectives reach
ed her uncle's house, and had to be awak-
ened. She made no effort to conceal her
identity, but was prompt with her denial
of the charge that she had poisoned Reu-
ben Green.
She said she did not know Green was
dead until told so by the officers. Mary de-
MED that she had ever threatened his life.
He had wronged her, she said, but she had
no idea of poisoning him. She did tell him,
she stated, that the Lord would punish
him.
Mary said she had not handled any pol
son, and If there was any on Mr.. Carr s
place she did not know It,
1t was her statement that she left Vir-
gina the day after Green was taken sick
and the day before he died, but she knew
nothing of his death. After being searched
by the matron at the first precinct she
was locked up at the second precinct to
await the arrival of an officer from Ma

Diet VS.. Drugs
People Are Finding that
Proper Food is Better
Than Medicine.

A distinguished physician in re-
cent lecture before a class in an
Eastern Medical College said: at
is my settled conviction that ninety
per cent Of all human ailments arise
primarily from the stomach. Prop
err diet would nearly put the physi-
clan out of business"
Ii you desire a clear head and a
strong body, the moral is plain that
you must eat only the most nutri-
tious and healthful foods.
All physicians and food experts
agree that faxed wheat properly
manufactured is an ideal food.
Egg-O-See is the purest, daintiest
and the most wholesome of all
faxed wheat foods. 1t is the whole
grain of the best white wheat thor
oughly steam cooked and then
crisped delicious brown and prop
erly favored. There is health, ap-
petizing enjoyment and economy in
every package.
Nearly everybody eats it now"

Baron Kaneko's Address.

Baron Kaneko spoke in part as follows:
with the cooperation of France and
Germany Russia forced Japan to relin-
quish Port Arthur and the Liaotung
peninsula after the war with China In
1895. This act and the constant progress
sive movements of Russia In East Asia
stirred the Japanese folks with q desperate
resolution to undertake the present con-
fiict in order to retrieve their honor and
arrest a movement which seemed so to
threaten their national existence. Baron
Kaneko thus outlined the causes of the
conflict. In relation to its conduct Baron
Kaneko declared that Japan had scrupu-
lously adhered to the tenets Of interna-
tional law-going so far as to assign pro-
fessors or advisers on the subject to each
army and fleet He spoke with pride of
the humanity displayed toward their enemy
in their disasters. the perfection OF the
Japanese sanitary arrangements and the
splendid esprit of the troops. Applause
greeted the statement that the war was
''one for the open door, between CONT
mental European militarism and the mari
time insular commercialism.
