was to pass under Biackwel's Island
II was the success Of this tunnel that
brought Mr.. Jacobs 10 the front. The
survey was marvel OF accuracy. The
tunnel was over $500 feet from shaft
to shaft ard as boring was carried on
at both ends an error at the shafts
would have been multiplied many times
az the point OF meeting. So exact were
the engineers estimates that at the
point OF meeting It was found that
there was only half on inch of error.
The digging OF this first East river
tunnel bristled with difficulties and dis
couragemerts. The company that took
the contract for the excavation met
with all sorts OF obstacles, some OF them
apparently insurmountable. one day
when the workmen had been tunneling
through solid rock for some time "A soft
spot was reached and the water began
to tric<le IN. The foreman was fright
ened out OF his wits and built a bulk

Mr.. Jacobs went down 70 investigate.
He built safety gates for the proteo-
ton of the men and opened tho bulk
head. The water continued TO come in
and the contractors refused 10 proceed
unless the excavation should be made
fifty feet deeper. When finally tho con-
tractors retired from the Job. the gas
company authorized Jacobs 20 go on
and hnish the work. The contractors
sued the gas company, contending that
the excavation was impossible. Before

completed the tunnel and had walked
through t.

WHY BANDS HELP MARCHING.

All men who have any appreciation
OF music feel prompted to step in tims
to march tune. and music on the
march therefore substitutes a now and
pleasanter stimulus TO exertion for the
monotonous and somewhat dreary one
OF keeping place in the ranks,
II is well known that WEAKNESS Ia, as
a rule. more matter Of mind than OF
body, and that the muscles OF the body
do not tire half so soon as the nerve
centers which move them.
Music, by bringing fresh nerve cen
ter into play Will often Danish all
sense OF WEAKNESS and viii even some
times afford rest to tho usual nerve
center, so that when the music ceases
the soldier feels fresher than before II
began.

STANDARD OIL PLAYS TRICKS
Frightened Independents Into Pro-
testing Against Pipe Line Clause.
Agent OF The Trust Sent
Out Letter which Caused Ava
lanche Of T-eIeErams.

Washington, d. c. 49, The state
ment has been made at the capitol
that independent oil operators in all
OF the oil fields are being used by the
Standard Oil company to pull the
trusts chestnuts out OF the fire. II
was charged that the widespread senti-
ment that has been aroused among the
Independents against the pipeline pro-
vision of the railroad rate bill Is really
the work Of the Standard Oil com.
pany.
Last week Senator Long and all Of
the Kansas members in the house.
as well as members representing oil
producing districts in other parts of
the country, received scores of letters
and kilograms from independent pro-
ducers urging them to oppose that pro.
vision. II directs that no common
carrier shall transport any commodity
in the production Of which Il is di.
rectly interested. In support Of the
statement that the Standard Is doing
its utmost to defeat the provision, a
member Of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton produced a copy Of a letter
signed by Joseph Seep, purchasing
agent OF the trust.
This letter was spread broadcast
among the Standards representatives
in he oil fields Of Kansas, Pennsyi-
vania. Ohio. West Virginia and New
York and it has been effective. AS a
result Of the avalanch Of kilograms
a caucus Of members from the oil pro.
ducing states was held and # was de-
cided to do all in their power 10 bring
about a modification Of the objection
able provision.
Senator Tillman has served notice
on the other %conferees that he Will
sign a report which recommends
the exclusion Of pipeline companies.
The attitude OF the South Carolina
senator has greatly embarrassed those
who would exclude the pipeline conl.
for they know that a report
without his signature would provoke
a contest in the senate IN which some
regulations would be damaged.
