NIAGARA POWER HEARING,
Taft WIN Not Reach Decision Until He
ConRers with Root.

Washington, Nov 27-The hearing
upon applications to the secretary of
war for permission to transmit to the
United States power developed on the
Canadian side Of Niagara river was
closed tonight, Additional data viii be
filed, and Secretary Taft announced
that he would not be able to reach a
decision in regard to the applications
until he had conferred with Secretary
Root This conference is necessary be-
cause of the affect the contracts may
have upon an International treaty pro-
vidlng against any perceptible interfer-
ence of the grandeur OF Niagara Falls.
He said he would award privileges
about January If possible. The hear
ings before Secretary Taft were for the
purpose Of enabling him to find way
to equitably distribute 1877, 800 horsepow-
er, the estimated limitation on the
amount Of electric power to be admit
ted, among half dozen or more cor
porations, each of which thinks 1t must
have a third or more Of the whole
order to exist Morris Cohn, represent
ing the international Railway company,
asked for $500 horsepower Immediately,
and additional amounts as its business
develops, up to 5000 horsepower. Fran
els Lynde Stetson, Of the Canadian Nj
agara Power company proposed divid-
Ing the power to be admitted equally
between his company and the Electric
Developing company of Ontario, and
the Ontario Power company, the three
corporations having franchises from the
Dominion government, TO develop pow
err. General F. " Greene, represent ng
the Ontario Power company, opposed
the equal division on the ground that
his company was able to get one
fourth more power from the same
amount of water diverted than the 9TH
err companies are getting, and he said
the division should be based on the
amount of water used. AT the same
time he declared that the three con-
Germs named were the only ones really
entitled to consideration. j. G. john
son Of the Electric Development COM
pany and one of Its customers, the
American Ontario company, which is
prepared to transmit power to Lock-
port and Syracuse N. Y. P. H. GRAY
ath had made an argument for the lat
ter concern, declaring that General
Greene's company should not be limited
to an extent that would interfere with
contract to furnish the American On
tarlo company with 10000 horsepower.
The arguments by the three companies
holding franchises from the Dominion
government suggested a combination
against applicants similarly situated,
though no representations to that eff
feet were laid before Secretary Taft.

POISON MYSTERY IN AUBURN.
Arsenic Found in Food Has Made All
the Members Of a Family Desperately

Arsenic Found in Food Has Made All
the Members Of a Family Desperately
ILL.,
Auburn, N. Y, Nov. 27-After a long
investigation by physicians and chem
lists 1t has been determined that the
peculiar sickness in the family of Will
liam F. Wait is due to arsenical pois-
oning. Wait is still very Ill at the City
hospital and his son Bryan, who re-
Gently was graduated from Yale, is
also confined there in partially para
lyzed condition. He has lost the use
of his hands and legs, and physicians
say he may not recover in years. Rev.
Harvey Clements, of Gloversville, a
son-in-law, who recently spent a few
days in the Wait household, was all
ready to go abroad, but upon reaching
New York was stricken with the mall
ady and was i'll for some time, Mrs.
Wait was also desperately i'll for sew
eral days The servants and coach
men were among the victims of the
disease.
All symptoms pointed conclusively to
.arsenical poisoning, and as a last re-
sort detectives and the local police were
called into the case, but the greater
secrecy was preserved.
Analysis of foods remaining in the
house showed the presence of arsenic
in sufficient quantities to produce
death. Indeed, it is supposed the vic
tins were given overdoses, for horrible
nausea followed meals, and this may
have averted speedy death.
Investigation is still progressing, but
there is not the slightest proof to indi-
cate the author Of the crime Mr.. Wait
is a member of the old carpet manu-
featuring firm of Nye & Wait, and the
family is among the most respected in
the city,

UR. MADDEN STICKS TO PROPO-
sITION FOR INCREASE.

contends That All Printed STUFF Should
be Required to Pay the Same Rates
j. H. BOyce, Appearing for Large
Number of Papers, Says That Postal
Service Would be Profitable If Run
as Private Enterprise.
washington, Nov. 27-The congress
sionaI postal commission decided at the
conclusion of to-day's session not to
hear any more witnesses except such
government officials as may be desig-
mated by the commission itself. The
witnesses heard to-day were Camel H.
Tenbrock of the Mercantile Adjuster of
st. Louis; Wilmer Atkinson of the For
eign Journal of Philadelphia; eX-Mayor
Neff of Kansas City, representing sew
eral stock yard papers; J. H. Boyce of
Chicago and Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General Madden,
Mr. Madden did not recede from his
position in favor of an increase of the
rates on second class matter. He con-
tended that all printed matter should
be required to pay the same rates and
said that he would put all on purely
physical basis. He suggested four cents
q pound as the proper compensation for
carrying the periodical mail.
Nj. Atkinson made an attack upon
the practice of the postofice depart
ment for permitting the comic supple
ments of the Sunday newspapers to so
through at the second class rate. Mr..
Neff complained bitterly Of some of the
rulings against the stock yards papers,
He said that he felt as If he had been
treated as if he had been a "moonshin-
er, and he thought there should be a
reform which would give better recog-
milton to such enterprises as those
which he represented. Mr.. Boyce ap-
peared in behalf of large number of
papers in the west. He presented fig
ures to show that If run as q private
enterprise the postal service could be
made profitable and said that he would
agree to take contract to do the bust
ness of the department for the revenues
derived from it.

Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema = instantaneous Relief

Of Torturlng Sores : Grateful
Mother Saysi
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case Of eczema, | 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 q little boy in
our family poisoned his hands 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 ONT
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 q valuable
household standby, living as we, do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
