THE COURT is DEFIED
AND ANSWERS REFUSED

Further than this Mr.. Peckham re-
fused to give any information about
his relations with Mr. Holmes, Mr.
Hays or Mr.. Vanriper that could
throw any light on the matter under
consideration.
Shortly after Mr.. Peckham was in
terviewed he left New York for
Washington and Immediately on his
arrival in the city he held a CONVEX
sation with Holmes over the tele-
phone, in which he inquired whether
Mr.. Holmes intended to resign his po-
sition or whether he expected to be
dismissed from the government SER
vice"
Mr.. Peckham was interviewed
again at the Hotel Brest in New York,
after his trip, but declined to give any
further information concerning his re-
lations with Mr.. Holmes. When Mr.
Holmes was questioned about his re-
lations with Mr.. Peckham and Mr..
Van Ripper he said that they had all
been on very intimate terms socially,
and that when. he had occasion to visit
New York he frequently found that
his hotel bills had been paid by Mr.
Van Ripper or by Mr.. Peckham. Mr..
Holmes admits that he and Mr.. Peck
ham and Mr.. Hays were at one time
connected in a business venture in
which Mr.. Holmes was to have an in
terest equal to $4,000, which he was
to receive as a gift from the other
members of the firm"

as belonging to the general fund.
This knocks a s547,OOO hole in that
fund
Assistant State Treasurer John
Kelly stated today that there was
about $4,000 now in the general
fund. The monthly pay roll of the
state aggregates about s175.0O0. Mon
day is pay day The $4,000 will pay
on all the claims that come in the
first few days, but when the bills from
the state institutions begin to roll in
they will have to be stamped. Under
new law state warrants draw only
per cent interest. They used to
draw 6 per cent The banks, ordi-
narily, would carry the per cent war
rants. but they can put their money
to better use now. and it is likely
that the holders of the warrants will
have to discount them or carry them
themselves.
The state officials hold that the
state is preferred creditor and that
it is entitled to the first money that
the bank pays creditors until it's $547,-
900 is paid. The receiver will not
treat the state deposit as preferred
claim, and litigation on that point is
sure to follow.

leak.
Mr.. Peckham was thereupon told by
U: s. District Attorney Beach that I'M
less he (Peckham) changed his mind
by tomorrow at IL o'clock, when the
grand jury convenes for the day, his
recalcitrancy would be reported to
Judge Wright of the supreme court of
the District of Columbia, who al
ready has given public notice of his
intention to punish any witness refus-
ing to answer proper questions. The
penalty is Imprisonment. When ques-
toned tonight Mr.. Beach, who has
opments in his inquiry. declined to
admit the probability of proceedings
against Mr.. Peckham.
Secretary Wilson, in his report on
the examination into the affairs of his
department by the secret service men,
referred to Mr.. Peckham at some
length, saying:
''Mr. Peckham was interviewed at
the Hotel Breslin in New York city.
He was shown the above series of let
tiers and asked for an explanation of
their contents. Mr.. -Peckham stated
that the only explanation he had to
give was that at the time the letters
were written he was trying to make
some money in the cotton market.

this week. as result of the failure of
the First National Bank The state
has $547 900 tied up in that bank. OF
this sum about $4,000 is money

$4,000 from the permanent school
fund and $1,000 from the annual
school fund. The rest is scattered
among the various other funds. The
constitution provides that the per-
manent school fund shall never be
diminished. Bank failures were not
taken into consideration when that
provision was enacted If any part
of the school fund were lost the legis-
lature would have to appropriate
enough at its next session to make
good the amount. State Treasurer
Kelly has decided, in order to keep
the school fund intact, to treat all OF

nington. The report of the board is
not expected to be made for several
days. In the meantime the work of
cleaning up the gunboat proceeds
slowly, the boilers left in the position
in which they were found after the
explosion until inspected by the in
vestigating board. Divers have plug
ged the intake pipes from the outside,
thus stopping the inflow of water.
Thus far it is reported that the divers
have found nothing wrong with the
hull from the outside. Scalings from
the boilers will be examined by the
navy yard chemist, it is understood, to
determine if gases created by cor
rosion and chemical action caused the
explosion.
There have been no deaths since
those reported last night though the
condition of P. Nieman, H. A. Wor-

Cleveland, Ark, July 31st.-(Spe-
ciaD-Nearly every newspaper tells
of some wonderful cure of some form
of Kidney Disease by the Great Amer
lean Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and this part of Arkansas is not with
out its share of evidence that no case
is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney
Pills to cure.
Mr. A. E. Garlic, well known and
highly respected here, tells of his cure
after nearly a quarter of century's
suffering. Mr.. Garlic says:
Il want to let the public know what

that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from a life of suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney

How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years. =
The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In an8mia the blood
is scanty or thin /; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absofbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
Indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
.ches caused by an@mia.

BoNAPARTE is NOT FRENCH.

Numerous references have been
made of late to the alleged French
ancestry of the new secretary of the
navy and comment is made on his
famous name, the Gallo quality of his
wit, the shvug of his shoulders and
the abundance of his gestures. AS
matter of fact, there is not drop of
French blood in Charles ]. Bona
parties veins. His grandfather, Je
rome Bonaparte, who married and
deserted Elizabeth Patterson before
he became King of Westphalia, was
a Corsican of Italian descent, while
the Pattersons were Scotch-Irish. The
new secretary's mother was a down.
east Yankee, woman OF great force
of character During the civil war
she was aggressively for the Union.
in the midst of southern sympathizers,
and her influence was doubtless more
effective in molding this rigid moral
