SECRETARY ROOT TALKS OF COM.
MERCIAL UNION.
FEATURE OF OPENING SESSION
Premier in President Roosevelt's Cab
met Reeites Deductions From His
Recent Trip to South America-E.
II. Hartman Delivers Address.

Kansas City, Nov. 21.-Before the
Transmississippi commercial congress
here, Elihu Root, secretary of state,
delivered his second speech in this
city within two days. His speech was
the feature of the first days session
OF the congress. Mr.. Root again
dwelt upon our relations with the
South American republics, telling of
his recent trip through those coun-
tries. He said the time had come for
the expansion of trade between the
countries OF the north and south that
would result in the peaceful prospect
ty OF mighty commerce. He de-
clarcd that the means of communica-
ton between these countries must be
improved and increased, and said the
"woeful deficiency in the means to
carry on and enlarge our South Amer
lean trade is but part of the general
decline and feebleness of the Amer
lean merchant marine"
The representatives of Bolivia,
Peru, Colombia, Brazil and Chile also
spoke, following Mr.. Roots theme
closely, speaking of the possibilities
of investment of American capital in
their enterprises, and dealing also
with the political aspect of the situa-
ton.
Secretary Roots speech was Com
mercial Union With South American
Republics
An interesting incident of the ses-
sion was the demand of a Colorado
delegate that he be allowed to answer
TIE sEsecn OF e. H. Hartman, which
WIS delivered soon after the session
convened. Mr.. Hartman criticised
the present laws regulating railroads,
asserting that such power as is now
given the interstate commerce COM
mission is dangerous, not only to the
welfare of the railroads themselves,
but to the industrial interests of the
country, with which the railroads have
mutual interests. At the conclusion
of his speech George j. X I del of Den
yer arose and asked permission to an
swer Mr.. Harrimans speech. Chair
man Francis refused to give Mr.. Kin
del the privilege of the floor, on the
ground that proper Interpretation of
the rules of the congress and due
regard to courtesy did not allow a
delegate to answer the speech Of an
invited guest. Mr.. Hartman, however,
insisted that Mr.. kindel be allowed to
speak, and the chairman called him
to the platform. Mr.. Kindels speech
was not direct answer to the argu-
ments of Mr.. HARTMAN, but an ar
raignment of the railroads for alleged
unfair rate discrimination. Mr. Har-
riman, who had intended to leave for
Topeka Immediately after delivering
his own speech, waited patiently until
Mr.. Kindel had concluded, when the
two men shook hands and Mr.. Harri-
man left the hall to go to his train.
Every state in the union is repre-
scented at the congress, the states in
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys
and those making up the western half
of the country being represented by
a greater number of persons than ever
before in the history of the organiza-
ton, while from the east also the at
tendance exceeded that of previous

Fraudulent Underwriting Concerns
Raided at CHICAGO.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Several under
writing companies, which are alleged
to be the largest fraudulent concerns
of the kind ever operated in Chicago,
were raided by United States mar
shals, assisted by postal inspectors,
and seven men, accused of promoting
the fraudulent enterprises, were ar
rested. According to the federal au-
thorities, the men accused of operat-
ing the swindles had many victims
and obtained nearly million dollars
by the scheme. The names of the
men arrested and the companies with

vice president, and w. D. Hulburt,

dent of the American Corporation and
Security company. Ezra G. Barnum,

taken to the United States
district court and gave bonds of $4,000
each for their appearance for trial.
The other men who We're arrested
were locked up in Jail because they
were unable to obtain bonds.
The alleged fraudulent operation of
the men, as explained by the postal
authorities, is that The underwriting
companies were in league with certain
of the brokers, with whom they di-
vided the fee taken for the supposed
underwriting, which was never done
by the alleged underwriters.

washington, D. G., August 20th.--A

washington, D. C., August 20th.--A
determined effort will be made at n
next session Of congress to prevent
another appropriation for the free dis
tribution Of common garden SEEDS.
Congress now expends 3242, 900 q year
IN giving away the commonest varic.
ties Of peas, beans, turnip. squash and
pumpkin seeds. They are divided into
100000 packets SO that the packets
cost about half a cent each. But az
q large part Of the appropriation Is
expended in clerk hire. packeting the
seed, etc., the actual value Of the
seed In a packet is much less than
half a cent. These packets are put
up In packages Of five packets, the
total cost Of the packages being about
two cents each, and they are purchas.
able anywhere at five cents. Each
member Of congress gets 10000 such
packages, which he distributes to the
voters Of his district.
The farmers say that these pack.
ages contain SO little seed as to be OF
no value to them, while the total ap.
preparation, II expended in sending
out really rare and valuable seed, or
in maintaining a national agricultural
college, or divided among the state
agricultural colleges, would be Of i'm.
mems value to the farming interests.
They therefore protest against the
waste Of public money. The seeds.
men claim that as congress has al.
ready expended $4,000 in giving
away turnip and watermelon seed, 1t
is time it should give away saws, axes
or hoes and give the seed trade a rest.
Those who believe that congress
should cut of this perquisite Of its
members now used for political pur.
poses, are writing their senators and
representatives, urging them to abol.
ish the free seed distribution. and the
National Grange, many state and local
oranges, horticultural, agricultural
and other societies are adopting reso-
lutions condemning 1t. Mr.. William
Wolf Smith, of Washington. D. c., has
been selected to represent the oApo.
sition to the congressional free seed
distribution, and is personally answer.
ing all inquiries concerning the same.

GOOD coLoRs eoR HoUses.

1t IL not generally known-not ewes
among painters-why certain tinti
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
Of just what tints are best to use 10,
therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in a recent
book. says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
will protect q house better than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the Aim.
Thus red IL a good color because II
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, SO far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va.
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellOws like lemon, cold greens
Uike grass green, etc. and the blues.
1t must be understood that no vir.
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, IL adulterated
white lead or canned paint Is used,
but IL n Is careful to use the best
white lead-some ~well-knOwn brand
of a reliable manufactnrer-and gen
uine linseed oil, the warm tints men.
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold cOlOrs.
