Washington. - President Roosevelt
Friday transmitted to congress the re-
port of James r. Garfield, commission
er of corporations, giving the results
of his investigation of the subject of
transportation and freight rates in
connection with the oil industry.
In his message the president ex-
presses the view that the report is of
capital Importance because Of the eff
fort now being made to secure such
enlargement of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission as will
confer upon the commission power in
some measure adequate to meet the
clearly demonstrated needs Of the sit
nation. The facts set forth in the re-
port, he declares, are for the most part
not disputed. That the Standard Oil
company has benefited enormously up
almost to the present moment by Sc
cret rates, many of which were clear
iy unlawful, the president says the re-
DOrt clearly shows

His Lawyer and Those For
Richard Garfield, Gambler,
Compromised On 100000
INSIDE AUTHORITATIVE STORY
Part of the Sum Paid Over Was Not
Wholly in Settlement of Young
Reginald c. vanderbiIt's Losses at
the Table, But for Real Money Bor-
rowed From Garfield.

New York, June 4-The inside story
of Reginald c. Vanderbilts gambling
debt to Richard Garfield has been OBJ
tanned from a source believed to be
authoritative. 1t appears that the $3.50,
600 paid by John l.. Wilkie, Mr.. Van
derbilt's personal counsel, to Garfield
the losses of the young millionaire al
the table. Part of it was for real money
perhaps $50,000-borrowed by Mr.
Vanderbilt from the gambler.
Reggie" Vanderbilt according to
the man who tells the story, had un-
limited credit with Garfield He used
to go to the gambling house in East
Forty-fourth street quite frequently
All he had to do was to ask for chips
and he got them without putting up
any money.
Canfield,' young Vanderbilt would
say to the gambler, just let me have
$1,000 or $4,000 and Mr.. Garfield would
hand out the coin. l know that Reg
gle Vanderbilt borrowed in this way
at least 100000 from Garfield or Buck
lin, but it was all Cantield's money, no
matter who handed it to him. When
the young mans debts amounted to
100000 he gave notes for the amount
to the gambler
AT last Garfield decided that it was
high time for him to collect from Mr..
Vanderbilt and asked him for SET
Element. John l.. Wilkie came forward
for Mr. Vanderbilt then and offered II
settle for $4,000. Mr.. Garfield wan. ID
the full amount. Finally the offer vas
raised to 100000.
Compromise on $4,000.
"Mr. Garfield was willing to accept
100000 as a settlement for young
Vanderbilt's losses at play. He "a
sisted, however, that Vanderbilt should
pay him back the cash which he and
Bucklin had advanced. Mr. Garfield
figured that the amount of cash they
advanced was in the neighbornood OF
$4,000, but to square matters Mr.. Cam
field agreed that if 100000 was paid
him in addition to the 100000 for the
gambling debt he would be satisfied
This proposition was submitted to Mr.
Wilkie and he after comforting with
Mr.. Vanderbilt, agreed to pay S130.0tC
III full settlement of anything Wander
bilt owed the gambler"

royal marriage celebrated there. tor
the wedding of Isabella Ii. took place
in great pomp within it's walls. Eut
more recently the church was aban-
doned to a carpenters shop and PLAN
ing mill, and the whir of saws took the
place of the solemn measures OF the
mass.
The origin of the church was one OF
the strange whims of the old king Oh
CASTLE, Henry ". He had set up a
magnificent tournament on the Paloo
road to celebrate the arrival of new
British ambassador. The tournament
was notable for the courage display ed
by the kings favorite, Beltran de ia
Oeleva who not only endorsed tour
knights, but also, single handed and on
horseback, with a small javelin, con-
quered and killed an Infatuated BUD
which had torn to pieces the greatest
toreadors of Spain. The king 10
commemorate this event founded a
monastery, which the Jeronimo frllrs
inaugurated. Later Isabella, the Cain
Ole shifted the site of the monas-
terry to it's present place. Here 1t be-
came the Royal chapel, and during the
gay era of Philip ~ all the royal ALI
ances and ceremonies took place there.
AT another time the Cortes met there.
After the expulsion of the friars the
edifice became an artillery magazine
and later carpenter establishment.
Thus it remained workship, until IN
1880 the government resolved to restore
the building to its original object as a
royal chapel. The saw mills were then
removed, and extensive renovating ana
repairing gave it back some of its an
cient glory.
The style of the church is gothic,
with two small towers, and large
gothic portico with rich stone carvings.
The interior has the form of cross,
with a rose window throwing a soft
light across the altar. There are few
artistic treasures within, and the scant
light from the musty stained glass
windows makes the interior rather
dark.
Moreover, it is essentially chapel
rather than magnificent cathedral,
and it lacks that splendid perspective
fitting a state ceremony. However, It's
dark walls are now hung with magnsf,-
cent tapestries, while thousands or
plants and flowers and burning candles
give a setting worthy of this solemn
act.
San Jeronimo is the only church IN
Spain where mass can be celebrated
after midday This results from an
indulgence granted for a fortune De-
uueathed to the church a century ago
by a rich dowager in favor OF the soul
of her maid servant. The dowager's
precious jewels disappeared one day,
and the servant being accused, she was
tortured and executed with all the hor-
rors of inquisitorial days. Later The
Jewels were discovered in the adjotn-
ing park, in a nest of magpies. The
grief of the dowager was boundless,
and she gave her whole fortune for re-
QUEENS, the indulgence for afternoon
masses following some years after.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by the constitutional reme-
dies Deafness is caused by an infianl-
ed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh. which is nothing
but an infameG condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.

You have long desired to visit Old
Mexico and now is the opportunity. A
party of Iowa teachers and their friends
will leave Des Moines July via the
Chicago Great Western Railway in
charge of County Superintendent q. G.

at various points of interest in the re-
public including several days al Mexico
City. The rates are very low, less than
one-half the amount usually charged
for similar tours. Don't be afraid of
the heat, as according to Mexican

very much less than in Iowa for the

DEATH LUXURY IN CHICAGO.
Prices Of Collins There Are Rising a,
Rapid Rate.

Chicago, June 2.-Coffin makers are
fast rendering death luxury in Chi
cago, and the query is being eagerly
made, whether, if prices continue to
rise, Chicago will achieve still further
fame as health resort by reason of a
marked decline in the death rate. Cot
fins are to cost 25 per cent more than
formerly, it is said, and word has al
ready gone out in New York to raise
the price to the trade That the public
will be the ultimate sufferers is admit
ted by the dealers.
The reasons given by the manufac-
turers for advancing prices in the box
trade are multiple, and advance in de-
sign is the last and least important. 1t
Is also urged as an excuse for the man
ufacturer that prices of all woods have
advanced, while skilled labor is also
receiving more remuneration.
