am young lady and am in charge of
the distribution of children's clothing and
the blankets are sent up to my department
at the Relief station because there are so
many infants that have been born right out
of doors and in the tents and sometimes the
grandmothers come with the children so we
try to divide the comforts. IN
Some of these people are cold and hungry
for the first time in their lives and respect
able people OF means make poor beggars, so
we have to search the most deserving out for
rich and poor have Jared alike and million
aires have been made poor and many in
comfortable circumstances have lost their
all; so you can imagine that those people
appreciate the comfort as much or more than
the very poor for whom all IS being done
that can be. Thank you very much Tor your
kindness which it gives me great pleasure to
acknowledge in this little note,
Yours Sincerely

IN SPITE OF GOOD RESULTS
OHIO LEGISLATIVE lNvESTiGA
TIoN COMMITTEE DECLARED
WITHOUT POWER.

Columbus, O., Oct. 1.-THE Drake
investigating committee created by
the legislature last winter is without
power In a legal sense, according to a
decision of the supreme court. The
committee was created to probe the
affairs Of Hamilton county and Cincin
natl and the committee held meetings
In Cincinnati several times and also
in this city. The case came to the
supreme court through suit brought
by the Robertson Realty company OF
Cincinnati against the state auditor to
compel him to issue a warrant on the
state treasurer in payment for rooms
occupied by the committee while In
Cincinnati The Drake committee dur
ing it's Investigations In Cincinnati
brought out the personal collection by
county treasurers of interest on public
funds deposited In banks. Because OF
the criticism aroused half q dozen for
mer treasurers paid voluntarily into
the county treasury O total of $214, 900,
which they estimated they had thus
received Other matters brought out
affected the sale of turnpike roads tc
the county, in which large commits
sions were paid for disposing of the
roads.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Ohio Law Providing Pensions for the
Blind.

Columbus, o., Oct. 17.-By a de-
cision of the supreme court the blind
pension law, passed In 1894. Is wiped
from the statute books
The decision was given In the case
of j. 7. Davies, auditor of Lucas coun-
ty, VS. John l.. Boyle The latter is a
blind man coming within the scope of
the act. The auditor, believing that
the act was unconstitutional. refused
to Issue to Boyle a warrant for his
quarterly pension of $25. Mandamus
proceedings were brought against
Davies. The courts of Lucas county
held In favor of the blind pensioner,
sustaining the act. The supreme court
now reverses the judgment of the
circuit court. The law provides that
worthy blind residents" should be
paid $25 each quarter out of the treas
ury of the county of which they were
legal residents The court sustains
the contention that the act is In con-
travention of the state constitution.

CASE AGAINST STANDARD OIL
COMPANY OF OHIO NEARING
COMPLETION.
DEFENSE OFFERS LITTLE EVIDENCE
SUBMITS VERDICT OF SUPREME
COURT IN FORMER CASE IN
THAT STATE.

Findlay, O., Oct. 17.-Both the state
and the defense in the trial Of the
Standard OH company Of Ohio for al
legged conspiracy against trade rested
their case within the first hour of the
trial and argument, which took the
balance of the day, was begun.
1t had been the plan of the defense
to submit evidence to the jury through
out the day, but this was changed and
the only evidence they adduced was
certified copy of the journal of the
supreme court of the state showing
that verdict of not guilty had been
rendered In the case against the com
pany for contempt in not dissolvine
the trust.
The prosecution opened the day
with the testimony of State Oil In
spector Finley, who said that the
Standard Oil company of Ohio paid
the inspection fees for the Cleveland
refinery and 80 per cent of the inspec
tion fees for the Solar Refining com
pany of Ohio. The latter, he said, re-
fined 90 per cent of all the oil refined
In the state
That the Standard had a distribute
ing station in Findlay and that its
only competitor In the sale of refined
oil here was the National, an inde
pendent company, was brought out by
the testimony of Local OIL Inspector
,Shaffer, who was recalled to the stand
by the prosecution
When the court adjourned for lunch

pleted his argument of the case to the

WORK ON THE CANAL.
Secretary R.ot Gives Results Of His
Observations.


Washington, Oct Ia. = Secretary
Root, who spent two days on the 18TH
mus of Panama on his return from his
trip to South America, has written a
letter to the president giving the re-
suits of his observations of the work
on the canal The amount of actual
excavation done and being done In and
near Culebra cut, Mr.. Root says, both
gratified and surprised him.
The secretary expresses the opinion
that the time occupied In preparing
for contracts for continuing the work
has not been excessive. or that, espe-
cially In view of the fact that the
work has been vigorously prosecuted
In the mean while, there Is any ground
for imputing any delay whatever to
the managers of the canal construc-
tion.
The greatest danger In the way of
canal construction now seems to me, "
Ne says, Ito be lest the really good
and able men who are competent to
handle 1t and who can get profitable
employment elsewhere should be un
willing to continue In the service un-
der indiscriminate Misrepresentation
and abuse"

IN RESTRAINT OF TRADE.
Witness Opinion Of Rules Of Chicago
Board of Trade.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Richard Gambrill
board OF trade broker, was the first
witness of the day In the interstate
commerce commission inquiry into the
methods of handling grain In the West
and Northwest.
Mr.. Gambrill declared that the rules
of the Chicago board Of trade are
clearly In restraint of trade and are
rapidly making the Chicago grain mar
ket, in the words of the witness, "a
one-horse proposition"
"A rule Is posted on the Chicago
board of trade each afternoon" said
Mr.. Gambrill, which prevents me
from going into the country and bid
ding for grain. That, to my mind, is
detrimental to business and is In re-
straint of trade"
Samuel Finney, another broker on
the board of trade, testified that there
Is an agreement between certain
board of trade men to bid certain
prices for grain In the country. He
named two firms which, he declared
are party to this agreement.
