Count Witte, who came here for a

being somewhat impaired by the hard
work and worry of the premiership,
refuses to be quoted in connection
with Russian politics, taking the
ground that 1t would be not only
against his own personal interest but
also against the interests of his coun

Blame for Massacre.

been placed officially upon the sol

stok by the douma to investigate the
massacre made a preliminary report,
declaring that a majority Of the dead
were killed with bayonets or rifle bull
let's, showing that soldiers were their
slayers. The report that the Jews
started the fighting by attacking Chris

It is also known that Witte is per-
sonally favorable to the Hebrews and
their desires, as contained in the mem
orandum presented to him when at
Portsmouth by the committee of prom
inent American Jews, but he strongly
condemns the attitude which the Jews
are assuming in Russia in placing
themselves at the head of the revolu.
tionary movement against the advice
of their own enlightened leaders, thus
making it impossible for their non
Jewish friends to assist them. Witte
thinks the Russian Jews who are act
ing in this manner are blind, for If
they are defeated they will be more
oppressed than before, whereas If sue

THE BEAUTY OF MACHINERY
It Harmonizes with the Divine Laws
That Control the IN
iverse.

Certain people imagine that ma
chinery is ugly, unintsresting and disa
greeable. Had they finer, and cleare
vision, says the Reader, they would SCI
that the ugliness is in the misuse Of thu
machine by incompetent or careless
men and women. The well-made an!
well-cared-for machine has beauty Of
Its own that comes Of strength, sim
plicity, precision, truth and harmony
with the divine laws that control the
universe. We may stand beside p
giant bandsaw while, with screaming
clamor, 1t rips a huge log into ma
terials for a home. To the clear vision
1t is luminous with a strange beauty
a beauty we are only Just beginning to
understand. Its brilliant blade flying
with incredible speed Is making roof
tree to shelter happy mother.
In another place we see machine
whose purring cutters are shaping
beautiful white pine holdings Of classic
form to decorate home-making Il
million feet Of holdings, all alike. Per
haps some sensitive soul cries: "HoW
distressing; 80 mechanical, so monoto
nous! How sad It all Isl Dear soul!
Creep back to your dusty studio. Is II
not better that 10000 homes shou1
have graceful forms on stair and sash
and door, than that one home have
handmade holdings and the Others
have none at all? The cutters Of this
machine can and do accurately pro-
duce the splendid curves designed By
the sculptors and the architects who
made Greek temples glorious. The ma
chine is a missionary of the beautiful,
bringing the best art forms to every
home, 80 that even a door frame may
be altogether lovely. Machine mold
ings are not ugly because cheap. They
are beautiful and cheap.

STOCK AND MONEY
Pennsylvania Railroad Official Had
Very Generous Friends Engaged
in Mining Coal.
$4,000 IN THREE YEARS.
Told the Commissioners He Thought
He Was Doing Nothing Unusual
I'm Accepting the Gifts
offered.

Philadelphia, June THAT be ac'
cepted gifts of stock amounting to
$1,000 and money aggregating more
than $4,000 from coal mining COM
panies during a period of about three
years, was admitted Wednesday by
Joseph Boyer, chief clerk In the office
of A. w. Gibbs, superintendent of mo-
tive power Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Mr.. Boyer purchased the fuel
coal used in the locomotives of the
company and the donors Of the gifts
were the coal companies which fur
nish the fuel to the railroad. Mr. Boy
er named five companies which al
lowed him from to cents on each
ton sold to the railroad company.
He declared that he never asked for
the allowance, but accepted 1t because
he believed he was following a GUS
tom of the department. In fact, one
of the coal company officials told him
he had paid 1t before and wanted to
continue paying It to the witness. Mr.
Boyer denied that he divided the mon
ey with any other official or employee
of the railroad. TIe said he kept it
all.
A. w. Gibbs, MrBoyer's superior
officer, on the stand said ne was una
ware that such conditions existed in
his department
Mr.. Boyer said he was at first dis
inclined to accept the money, hut af-
ter thinking 1t over decided that he
was doing nothing unusual.
"How long did yon wrestle with your
conscience?" queried Commissioner
Clement. The witness did not know.
M. X. Reeves, assistant to Vice Pres
ident Pugh, admitted that he had ac-
cepted stock from Colonel George S.
Huff end David E., Williams. Colonel
Huff, he said, purchased some of his
holdings in the keystone Coal & Coke
company paying him $4,000 for it.
Mr.. Reeves stated that he has known
Colonel Huff since boyhood and de-
clared the latter knew he was not in
a position to favor him when the stock
was presented.
A number of employees Of the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad were examined
during the afternoon session and the
commission endeavored to learn
through ]. r. Muhlfeld. general super
intendent Of motive power, something
concerning the arrangement between
the railroad and the H. c. Prick Coal
company concerning the repairing of
cars. Mr.. Muhlfeld admitted that the
Prick company had an advantage over
other companies, but was unable to tell
why. He said 1t had been the practice
for the past ten years, but he did not |
know the terms Of the agreement, If |
one existed.
