PLAN NEW RESEARCHES
Carnegie Institution Laboratory to
Undertake Important Work..
From The Tribune bureau

Washington March 24.-The Carnegie Institu-
ton OF Washington has made its first purchase
of property, having acquired five acres Of ground
alongside Of Rock Creek Park. on which to con-
struct a laboratory for geO-physical research
The Investigations will be in charge Of Professor
Arthur L. Day. of the United States Geological
Survey
The undertaking is the most important Of
its kind in the world. A study Will be made
Of the minerals composing the earth's crust
with view to determining scientific facts rela-
tive to the earth's formation that heretofore
have baffed all geo-physicists because Of the
lack Of facilities for obtaining accurate informa-
ton. The apparatus with which the experiments
viii be conducted is absolutely new of it's kind
and through the assistance Of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition scientists of the United States Govern
ment will obtain data of great value.
The Investigations to be made IN Washington
will be the only systematic attempt ever made
for an exhaustive research into the character OF
the minerals composing the earth's formation
through a study Of minerals at formation tenn
perature and pressure. It will result. it is
pected. in obtaining fundamental facts for
the study Of mineralogy and geology. The best
work Of the sort has been done in Europe at
Amsterdam. Christiania and G6ttingen. The
laboratory in Washington is planned on more
elaborate scale than are those at any Of these
places. Inc site CHOSEN Is q snort distance
from the city and from trolley lines to enable
the experiments to be carried on removed as
much possible from the vibrations of the
city. 1t is near the Bureau Of Standards which
was built on the outskirts Of the city for the
same reason.
Professor Day. who is to be in charge Of the
work. has for years been the governments spe-
cialist in geO-physical research A limited labO-
ratOry has been maintained at the Geological
Survey offices, in this city, but it has been i'm
possible TO carry on the work in as extensive
and thorough manner as is desired. Professor
Day last summer visited the laboratories abroad
in which mineral mixtures have been studied,
and gathered much technical information of SER
vice in the equipment Of the proposed Carnegie
Institution laboratory and in carrying out
measurements OF the high order Of accuracy de-
Sired
The building is to have unusually heavy
and deep foundations to enable it 20 hold the
heavy apparatus planned It viii be Of two
stories and IN the simplest possible design. The
laboratory will cost S125OO0 and its construc-
ton will be begun Immediately. The tract OF
land where it is to be was purchased for ST.
500 This is regarded as one Of the most i'm
portant gifts made by the Carnegie Institution
for scientific research since Mr. Carnegie made
the S1OO0OOOO endowment.

HAZING BILL PASSED.
House amendments Likely To BE
accented.
[From Ia TrIbune nureau.


Washington. March 4-The House to-day
passed the vreeland bill granting authority to
the Secretary of the Navy in his discretion 20
Naval Academy and regulating the procedure
and punishment in trial for hazing at the acad-
envy. The changes in the law proposed under
the bill result from the investigation by a sub
committee Of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs of the management and discipline OF the
Naval Academy. especially in regard to hazing.
There are several amendments to the Senate
Hazing bill passed February % but It is be-
Heved that these amendments will be accepted
and the new regulations made effective this
spring.
The bill passed the House after an animated
debate the feature Of which was a fierce de-
by Representative Hepburn. OF Iowa. Mr.. Hep
burn said he did not share in any Of this
maudlin sympathy for the boys at Annap
oils and for their pranks. Their violation OF the
law against hazing was not to be considered
matter Of wanton playfulness. but a deliberate.
The effect Of the bill passed is 70 repeal the
existing law, which makes IL compulsory upon
the superintendent of the academy to try 10
or haZlng in any degree. In place Of the in
flexible severity Of the present law, q law is
substituted which will punish each on
It's merits. Cases OF hazing which are mild in
character and are the mere overflow Of bOyish
spirits, without meanness or viciOusness, may
be punished by dement's. loss Of privilege etc.
on the other hand, cases Of haZing involving
brutal. cruel and injurious treatment may be
dismissal from the academy, but by imprisOn-
ment well.

TO MOVE MAIL FASTER.
Postmaster WHIcor against Unnec-
essaru Handling Of Publications

The vatchword OF Postmaster Wilcox has always
been Keep the mail matter moving" At this
time when there seems to be a reasonable prospect
OF an amelioration of the cOngested postal condi-
tons In this city he is especially DESTROYS that the
plans for moving the mail with greater celebrity be
laid with due regard to the efficiency and perma-
nency Of a system that Is of vital Importance to
this rapidly growing city.
TT matters not so much,' said he, where the
general postofce is located. The point IS whether
there are adequate transportation facilities in the
building quickly TO send the mail matter intact in
bags to its destination"
Speaking OF the report from Washington that It Is
the intention Of the authorities to devise plan
whereby publishers may use the sign, United
States Mail" on their wagons when they are carry
ing mail to the trains Mr.. WILCOX said that soon
after he assumed his duties as postmaster he ad-
vocated such a step on one OF his visits TO WASH
ington. This was done with view Of relieving
the congestion at the main pOstofce by having the
great tonnage Of second class matter taken by the
publishers direct the railroad terminals instead
Of dumping it all at the postofce, only to be re-
handled again there and sent to the railroad tert-
nails IN the regular mail wagons.
BY sending postal clerks to the offices OF the pub
fishers the second class mail matter for several
months last year deposited in the regulation
mail bags weighed and paid for, the clerks giving
receipt, and tons Of # were shipped direct to the
trains in the Pennsylvania, Lackawanna, West
Shore Erie and Grand Central stations by the pub
fishers in their own wagons carrying the sign
United States Mail" thus saving great amount Of
time and trouble II appears that some found
fault with the system account of the signs and
since then the local Office has been obliged to return
10 its old system.
Postmaster Wilcox called attention TO the fact
that there are thirty-seven branch offices in Man
haitian. and that several Of them handle as much
mail daily as postohices in as large city Mil
waukee.
The annual postoffce statement for the year 1895,
just issued by Postmaster Wilcox, shows that the
average weight Of second third and fourth class
matter disposed Of IN one day was 1880 pounds
and Of letters g, a3 pounds. What is needed to
keep pace with this increasing bulk ana
weight OF mail. Mr. Wilcox says. is rapid means OF
transportation to keep the mail moving. and at no
point Is il much needed as in New Yorks CEN
trail main office, from which all the foreign
money order business of the country ia distributed
well the registered. domestic and city letters
Subway connections, well pneumatic tubes.
he says. should be supplied TO solve properly this
important problem.

PATENT MEDICINE MEN HEARD.
Secret Use of Alcohol and Poisons in Small
Quantities Defended.

Washington, March A-Proprletarv medicine
manufacturers had hearing to-day before sub
committee Of the House Committee Interstate
and Foreign Commerce on the proposed amendment
by Representative Lowering, Of Massachusetts, to
the Pure Food bill. The amendment permits the
use Of limited amounts Of alcohol. opium cocaine
and other poisonous substances in patent medicines
without stating on labels that they are contained
in the preparation.
George s. Douglass, attorney for the Proprietary
Association Of America, addressed the sub-commit-
tee and Frank J. Cheney. president Of the associa
ton. and many Of It's prominent members attended
the hearing. 1t maintained by Mr.. Douglass
that alcohol was necessary a solvent and prescr-
vative In certain medicines. and he urged that its
be permitted in quantity not in excess of the
amount shown to be necessary by the United States
PharmacopOaia the National FoTmuaTy
Where the alcohol IS in such small quantities IN a
preparation that II cannot possibly be regarded as
a beverage, Mr.. Douglass insisted that 1t an
injustice require label announcing the presence
Of alcohol, he said II would prejudice many
against the preparation.

LYNCHING RUMORS FALSE
No Request for Delay at Chatta-
nooga-Nr. Moody Azcaits Facts.

Washington, March 24-After an extended
conference with President Roosevelt this morn
ing. Attorney General Moody said with en-
phasis that word had been received from
Chattanooga which bore out in any particular
the stories of the threatened race war result
ing from the lynching. and the dread Of the
people Of the consequences Of federal interfer-
ence. According to the rumors which found
their way into print, the Attorney General and
the President had received letters and kilograms
from citizens of Chattanooga begging them to
hold off from their contemplated punishment Of
the Sheriff for not properly guarding the negro
TO whom a stay Of execution had been granted
by the United States Supreme Court, because
such action on their part would incite the blacks
TO riot and bloodshed would result.
4 have not received single letter or tele-
gram" said Attorney General Moody, after his
conference with the President and as far as
I know. the President has received none from
Tennessee asking for a suspension Of action
have requested the District Attorney for a re-
port the lynching, and until l receive word
from him cannot say what will be done
zone thing / would like 70 say, however. and
that IS in relation to the stories which have ap-
peared in print, to the effect that I have taken
up the matter with the Supreme Court Neither
directly nor indirectly, with the court nor with
| any member Of the court, have I brought I'D the
matter. and 1 do not intend to do so. It would
be manifesty improper for me to bring the mat
ter 20 the attention Of the Supreme Court and to
say that have Is doing injustice to the court
/ as well as 20 myself. Until learn all the facts
/ from the District Attorney will not even know
whether it is question for the state or the fed
/ eraI courts 10 take up. The President is not
/ concerned in the matter in any way. Unless he
has read Of the case in the papers he probably
does not even know that the lynching took place.
/ for az far as I know, it has not been brought To
/ his attention. do not understand why so MANY

ally each meal or lunch followed by dis
tressing pains and burning sensations in my
stomach. which destroyed my sleep and almost
untitled me for work. My brain was so muddy
and foggy that it was hard for me TO discharge
my duties properly.
This lasted TIL about a year ago, when my
attention was called to Grape-Nuts food by a
newspaper ad- and 1 concluded 10 try It. Since
then l have used Grape-Nuts at nearly every
meal and sometimes between meals. We rail-
road men have little chance TO prepare our food
in our cabOOses and 1 find Grape Nuts mighty
handy, for IL IS ready cooked.
ITO make a long story short. Grape Nuts has

"MEANT ME-" SAYS COLER.
Borough President Returns YeHozC
Car Compliment to Jerome.

Referring to District Attorney Jerome's speech
at the Delta Epsilon dinner in Manhattan on
Friday night, in which the District Attorney
spoke Of a certain borough president who
acted on the advice Of a newspaper editor in
buying certain stock, Borough President Coler
said yesterday: jerome can mean no one else
than me- He must have been referring to me
because I know Of no other borough president
who is In Wall Street. It is up to Jerome to
produce names and figures and say whom he
is talking about
Mr.. Jerome, it is also reported, referred to the
certain" official a yellow dog without cour-
age" ANY man who will make a statement
like that and not back IL up with facts and
names and figures is a dirty cur" added Mr..
Coler. When he gets filed up on whiskey and
cigarettes he is liable to become a mad cur and
is a menace to the city"
Mr.. COler characterized the whole speech as
a scurrilOus attack intended to divert attention
from the negligence Of the District Attorneys
Office in the insurance scandals.
Mr.. Jerome, at Lakewood, declined last night
to comment on the remarks OF Mr.. COler.'

Senator Depew for the first time in fifteen years

I have delayed answering your letter, hoping this
