John ID. Rockefeller is taking the
kneipp cure, and every morning
may be seen wading with bare fee,
in the deep and dewy grass. Any
country boy can tell him he will dc
well to provide himself with yarn
strings to tie around his toes when
they get dew cracks in them. There
is no danger Of "dew poison" during
the dog days. Not all of his millions
can lure health and vigor into the
Rockefeller body. He is vainly
hunting for remedies like the rest of
poor afflicted mortals. With some
people coal oil is favorite remedy
for various Affections. Did Mr..
Rockefeller ever try it?
Let the people hold to the doc
trine that the "basic principles" of a
majority Of business men are good
and that there is "hope in this day

Toned ideas of honesty" If this is
an Elusive doctrine where will the
leaven of righteousness accomplish
it's work? Faith in mankind is
never more essential than when the
evils of mankind make themselves
woefully apparent. If this implies
stupid ignorance of true conditions
and if all men would do what Rookie

breaker is the most condemned man

Gov. Elrod is said to have told a
reporter at Sioux City this week
that he believed in protection which
means ultimate free trade" He
first made this statement years ago
at college, and still thinks it will be
brought about. He further states:
II mean by the statement that as
conditions change and our industries
grow, l believe we win eventually
become free trade country. 1t is
true today. We have progressed
and the time has come when our pro-
lection policy must BIZ modified to
meet the new conditions. Under
stand, am a protectionist, such a
protectionist as those in Chicago
who declared for a tariff which
would protect both the home and
foreign market"

Special Dispatch The Evening Star
HAGERSTOWN, Nd, February 16-
When aged Charles Barton was told today
that his death sentence had been commuted
by Governor Warfield to life imprisonment
he broke down completely and wept like a
child Barton had been convicted of the
murder of Simon Talhelm. a civil war vet
eran, in Hagerstown on September ~.
He was sentenced to- be executed, and II
was supposed to be merely matter of the
governor setting the date for the hanging.
Barton. who was convicted on strong cir
cumstantial evidence, has claimed all along
that he did not commit the crime. He says
he had been allowed to testify during
his trial he would have Opened the eyes

Many prominent citizens signed the petit

THE STATEHOOD BILL.
Expected to Be in Conference Early
Next Week.

No important step was taken by the
House of Representatives today in relation
to the statehood bill The resolution of
Mr. Tawney of Minnesota providing that
the committee on territories be instructed
to report the bill to the House and that
it at once be sent to conference is now
in the hands Of Speaker Cannon ready for
the consideration Of the committee on rules.
Under the present condition of legislation
in the House it seems quite possible that
this resolution will be allowed to go over
until next week. so that Monday or
Tuesday it may be returned to the House
with recommendation for it's passage. The
passage of the resolution is assured in
view of the fact that even representatives
who were against this course of procedure
and who have not signed the paper indicat-
ing that they will support the resolution
have stated that they would do so, al
though they did not care to sign the paper.
No one expresses doubt at this time that
the resolution will be adopted, and that
the statehood bill will be in conference
some time early next week.

EIGHT BADLY INJURED
TWO EXPLOSIONS OF SULPHUR
SET FIRE TO BUILDING.

NEW YORK, February 16.-Eight work.
men were badly injured by an explosion OF
sulphur in the Brooklyn sulphur works III
Brooklyn today, and were removed to hos
pitfalls suffering from burns and from fnhaI-
ing the fumes of the burning sulphur. Fire
men and policemen who brought them out
of the building were themselves much at
fected by breathing the sulphur fumes, and
at one time ten firemen were lying on the
sidewalk with ambulance surgeons admin
istering restoratives.
The first explosion was quickly followed
by a second, and in d minute the whole
three-story building was in flames.
A number of workmen were caught where
there were no fire escapes and had to jump
to the ground.
When the firemen arrived men were hang
ing from windows and were taken down
with the aid of scaling ladders.
The explosions are supposed to have been
caused by the ignition of the sulphur by
spark caused by the presence of a nail
in the mechanism of one of the sulphur
grinding machines. The loss was about
$40, 900.
May Be Fatally Burned.
Four of the workmen are believed to be
fatally burned. They are Michael Cleary.

BRIDGES AT AUGUSTA.
Navigability of the River Above the
City to Be Investigated.

Secretary Taft and Gen. Mackenzie, chief
of engineers, gave hearing at the War De-
partment this morning to persons interested
in the controversy over the bridges cross
ing the Savannah river at Augusta. There
are three of these bridges, two owned and
operated by the city of Augusta and the
other owned and operated by the Southern
Railway Company Milling interests on the
river above the city contended that these
bridges constitute an obstruction to navi-
cation, and they asked the War Depart
ment to direct that each bridge be pro-
vided with a draw, so axeto&permit of the
free passage of vessels That plan is op-
posed by the officials eff the city and of the
railroad company, who represent that the
river is not navigable above the bridges,
and that one of the citys bridges has occu-
pied it's present site for nearly sixty years
The main question for the, War Depart
ment to decide is as to the navigabiity of
the river above the city, as otherwise the
War Department has no Jurisdiction in the
matter 1t is expected that Secretary Taft
will announce his decision in short time.
