WHEN THE FINANCIAL LEADERS FELL OUT

Nothing that has so far appeared up
on the records of the committee has ex.
ceeded In sensational interest and i'm.
portance the statements made by Mr..
Hartman today. He admitted that
Governor Higgins and the late Speaker
Nixon Of the Assembly watched over
legislation for, him In Albany and that
he communicated with them by tele.
phone when, he wanted information
from Albany concerning the plans OF
his enemies in the Equitable.
He sneeringly and contemptuously
dismissed the theory that he derived
his political power from former Gov.
ernor o'dell by saying:
Il should think Mr.. Odell had polit.
ical power because Of his relations with
me-"
Mr.. Harriman's use OF the past tense
in speaking of Mr.. Odell's power may
have been due to the poor grammatical
construction Of the sentence rather
than to the intention to convey the In
timation that his power no longer ex.
lists.

answer because he did not want to give
occasion for sensational newspaper
headlines.
The committee and counsel, Mr..
Hughes, retired for consultation. Mr..
Hartman said he should like to con.

decided, however, that he should an

ELECTRIFIED LAMP CHIMNEY
Fun Which Can Be Had with 1
Straight Gless Chimney-sparks
and Fighting Cats. - -. a..

A very simple but beautiful expert
mem may be made by any bright boy
with a straight lamp chimney, the kind
used with the Argand or the Welsbach
gas-light. First, cut a narrow strip Of
tin-foil and paste it around the chimney,
in the middle. Then paste strip of the
same from one end of the chimney to
within about half an inch of the band in
the middle
Now take bristle brush, the kind
made to clean lamp-chimneys with. and
over it's bristles wrap a perfectly dry
silk handkerchief. Hold the chimney
in your left hand so that your fingers do
rot touch the tin-foil anywhere, and put
ting the silk-covered brush into the
chimney rub it briskly back and forth.
This part of the experiment should be
made in the dark. and if, while rubbing
the chimney. you take the brush out now
and then. you will see, every time you
do so, big spark of electricity jump
from one piece of tin-foil to the other.
In other words, the friction made by the
rubbing has turned the lamp-chimney
into an electrical machine
Another pretty experiment is de-
scribed by the Peoples Home Journal,
