TAFT ANGRY WITH WALLACE.
Latter Says Secretary All but Cursed
 Hin-Has No Use for Him.


 Washington, Feb. 6,-John F. Wal lace, formerly chief engineer of the isthmian canal, was again before the senate committee on interoceanic ca- nals to-day. Yesterday he was divert ed from a description of conditions on the isthmus, and resumed it to-day. He gave minute account of the conditions he found there and the difficulties he encountered in getting material ana supplies and the delays in filling requi- sitions.
 While he was cabling to have the or ders expedited, he said he received word from Admiral Walker that cable grams cost money. It was a delicate hint, he said, that he had better not use the cables so much.
 MT. Wallace said to the committee that he did years work and that his successors had no benefit of his analy- sis or recommendations. The work l did," said MT. Wallace, 'extended over a complete year, taking in dry and wet seasons. l was working along definite programme which in- bNAiAOu tO PoAI III .NllbAlA5 III iiiy o1liloeiA report, and would have done so if I had been permitted to make report. eX- perimented with the French excavators S oas to tell whether it would be the more economical to use or destroy these machines, which cost probably $30,OOO- 900. 1 experimented far enough to know that these machines were not fit for use"
 Telling of these experiments, MT. Wallace said he had not estimated that because excavating could be done in March for forty-three cents cubic yard it could be done for the same cost in the rainy season in May. It was im- portant to determine whether the high CT cost of excavating was due to the heavy rainfall, the reduction of time to an eight-hour day, or the use of the French excavators, said MT. Wallace.
 Continuing, he said that he under stood that the cost had gone up great deal after he left. The organization was demoralized, he said, for the reason that the men had seen their chief dis credited and knew that a successor was to be appointed who would not be in sympathy with the work that had been done.
 It was brought out that Mir. Wanace's successor had not the benefit of his analysis of the years work and his rec concentrations.
 Why did they not have it?" asked MT. Taliaferro.
 Because the secretary of war told me he did not want it, and had no use for me except on the isthmus as a di- recting engineer" said Mir. Wallace.
 DO you mean he was angry?" asked Senator Morgan.
 Yes, sir so angry that in his treat- ment he all but cursed me- replied MT. Wallace.

RUNNING SORES
 COVERED LIMBS
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema = instantaneous Relief By Cuticura Little Boys Hands and Arms Also Were a Mass of Torturing Sores = Grateful Mother Says.
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
 A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

Tn reply to your letter I write you my experience, and you are privileged to use 1t as you see fit. Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obsti- nate case of eczema, 1 resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physicians prescription and relied en- tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Rem edies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.
 "In July of this year little boy in our family poisoned his bands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointed them with the Cuticura Oint- ment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up; so we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol lars to come up on the mountain. Respectfully, Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmount, Walden's Ridge, Tenn, Oct. 13, 19o5."

MR. GRAVES' ILLNESS.
Has Become Quite serious--Is at Dans-
 viIIe, N. Y.

Charles F. Graves, one of the promi- nent and older citizens of New Haven. is seriously i'll at Dansville, N. Y. MT. Graves has been suffering for the past two or three years with a nervous dis ease, which last summer rendered him helpless and quite i'll. He was taken in August to the Jackson sanitarium at Dansville, where he experienced last fall very marked improvement, being then in better health than for year pevious. He has failed, however, since the new year. and two weeks ago suf- fered a serious relapse and last reports show little or no improvement.
 MT. Graves is we'll remembered as having been prominent in various walks of life here, has been prominent in New Haven's municipal affairs and served for ten terms as member of the board of education, during the greater part of that time as president of the board. He still retains his position as treasurer of Trinity college, Hartford, which place he has occupied for about quarter of a century. The public will sincerely hope for 8 favorable turn in his illness.

BOSTON BANK CLOSED
 AS MENACE TO PUBLIC
Continued from First Page.)

-- = Hooper, who was arrested yesterday, and Edgar F. Power.
 It appears that the Hanover bank, which Is empowered to receive deposits under its charter, was not considered by the savings bank commissioners to be under their supervision until sev- eral weeks ago, when a decision of the attorney general, Herbert Parker, made 1t plain that foreign corporations de- ing any kind of banking business in this commonwealth were subject to their supervision. Then the commits sioners took up an investigation of the banks affairs, and their recommenda- tion to the court is the result.
 In their bill of information to the court the commissioners declare that on examination into the company's af- fairs it appeared that it's condition was such as to render the continuance of its business hazardous to the public, and especially to those having funds in it's custody.
 It is understood that if losses are to be sustained by depositors they will be not as heavy as they would have been several months ago, because of with drawals which followed the recent clos ing of the Prevalent Securities & Banking Co.,, concern owing $l93, ,000 to over 5000 depositors. The embar- rassment of the Prevalent institution included many persons having money on deposit with the Hanover bank, obth at it's main office here and in it's branch offices at Stoughton and Nor wood, to withdraw their deposits.
 The charter of the Hanover bank states that the bank is permitted to do a general banking business. Of the 2,50O shares of stock, the records show that 2,50O were held by President Rose wig.
 The largest part of the business of the bank was that of receiving depos- its which were subject to checks,
 It is alleged that Hooper, the vice president, and President White of the Imperal Trustees company were con- cerned in conspiracy to defraud the Scranton, Factoryville and Tunkhan- noe Railroad company of out $4,000 The government claims that the Imperial Trustees company made a visit of in- vestigation and guaranteeing certain stocks. Those that upon investigation proved a satisfactory investment were, 1t is claimed, divided among banks con- nected with the Trustees company and the State Banking, and Safe Deposit company, which was absorbed by the Hanover bank was one of these insti- tutions. Hooper claims that $1,5CO,- 900 issue of the bonds of the Scranton, Factoryville & Tunkhannock Railroad company, guaranteed and underwrit- ten by the Imperial Trustees company, had been turned over to the State Banking and Safe Deposit company to put on sale According to Hooper the franchise of the railroad company had expired, and therefore the bonds could not be put on the market.
 On account of the fact that practic- ally all of the officers of the Hanover bank live in New York it could not be learned here whether there would be any opposition tomorrow to the ap- pointmert of receivers for the insti- tutions. The exact number of depositors of the bank will not be known until tomorrow.

 Among Packers Lawyers.

Chicago, Feb. e,-United States At torney- General Moody took an active part to-day in the trial of the packers case. At the opening of court he was called upon by Attorney John S. Miller, who represents Armour & Co.,, to pro- duce the original copy of Q letter writ ten to him by President Roosevelt. or to admit the authenticity of a copy which MT. Miller produced in court.

ter which the attorneys of the packers construed as meaning that the depart ment of justice and the department of commerce and labor were working on the case in unison was not correct. His assertion caused much excitement among the attorneys for the packers, who objected to the statement of the attorney general as being improper be- fore the jury. The letter was not of fered ip evidence, but was marked for Identification.

New York.-Within the space of q
brief few days, Cupid has played more
pranks than the most romantic school
girl could ever conjure up in her
widest dreams!
He has brought together an Amer
lean mining engineer and Grecian
countess at the mouth of a Mexican
mine. He has married off rich
young fellow to the nurse who pulled
him through appendicitis. He has pre-
sided at a midnight wedding at which
dashing young naval officer and a
pretty chorus girl were the principals
He has hired a special train so that
New York millionaire's son could
marry a divorcee in another state
And last of all, but not least, he has
arranged a wedding on the high seas,
outside the international three-mile
limit, so that an impatient young cou-
pie wouldn't have to wait two weeks
for the banns to be published, thus
single-handed setting aside the stern
and implacable majesty of the British
common law:
Whyte' and M. Hall Cowan to show
John Bull how love laughs at law.
They just couldn't wait two weeks
longer, so they were married accord
ing to the rites of the Church of Eng
land far out at sea. That saved the
two weeks banns and made happy
