Colonel p. S. Sewers was the first wit
ness called. His testimony was a cOntln-
Uation of that submitted Tuesday AFTER
noon. He went deeper into his failures at
getting the land offices above him to take
action in stopping the coal land frauds
being perpetTated in Utah. He said he
had recommended TO the department. that
he be allowed to submit evidence before a
grand jury for indictment against Robert
Forester. This evidence contained
among other records. that which showed

swore contained no mineral

Attorney Z Nj. Allison took the witness
stand and during a rigid croSs-examina-
ton attempted to show that Colonel Sow
ers was an interested witness. The at
torney asked the witness If he had SAID
he was getting no credit for the work ne
was doing and Colonel Sewers admitted
having made the assertion Attorney Al
hsOn attempted to show by questions that
the Utah Fuel company had acquired
large tracts Of land for grazing land The
witness said he knew the company had
grazing land in a coal district, but ne
would not say the company mad taken this
land to feed its 100 head of livestock, as
serting that he did not know and would
not swear to this belief.
Williams Stands Aside.
Just as Colonel Sewers was leaving the
witness chair Attorney Allison made the
stirring announcement that Manager II.

was waiting to be called upon as a wit

* that the military side of the or
ganizatiOn is a strong one.
Bat higher than this, the real pur-
pose Of he organization, as set forth
in it's pledge, is the advancement Of
Christ's Kingdom among boys. 1t is
realized that most boys require some
thing TO attach them to church and
Sunday School besides the usual SER
vices, and it is claimed that this has
been better accomplished by the United
Boys Brigade than by any other Or
ganiZatiOn that has ever been devised.
The average American boy likes TO
yea a uniform and to follow a band
or the Flag, and when he finds he can
do this in connection with his Sunday
School or church he soon becomes 4
more regular attendant at the lat
ter and is thus more easily reached by
his pastor or teacher. The organiza-
ton provides course of Bible study
in line with is work, which fit in we'll
with the regular Sunday School les
sons.
Wherever a Boys Brigade company
is found the church with which il is
connected has a large attendance Of
boys, and pastors who have tried the
experiment Of forming companies are
seldom willing TO see them disband -

hence he had felt justified in his assur-
ances to the presidents representa-
| tives.
Mr.. Tillman further said II the
president had stood fast to his origi-
nal declaration I'VE would have won
out AS for his treatment OF me- I
shall say nothing"
He closed by asking whether or not
the president had been entitled &c the
glory of the legislation which was con-
ceived in a democratic convention. He
would leave the answer to the people
Of the country.
Some time after Senator Tillman had
completed his statement, Mr.. Lodge
came into the senate chamber. He said
he had not heard Mr.. Tiliman, but
that he had read portions of his state
ment.
He said he could hardly believe that
part IN which ex-senator Chandler was
| quoted by Mr.. Tillman as saing that
the president said he had come 10 a
complete disagreement with senate
rial lawyers" mentioning Senator'S
Knox, Spooner and Foraker. Senator
Lodge, continuing, said he had gone

ed the exact sentence used by Sera-
tor Tillman, and had called up the
White House on the telephone, that
being the most rapid way of reaching
the president.
Il read the sentence TO the presi-
dent" said Senator Lodge, land he
said in reply that the statement that I
had read 10 him-attribnted TO him by
Mr.. Chandler. was a deliberate and n
qualified faIsehood; that Senator For
aker's name vas never mentioned at
all in the conversation; that Senator
Spooner's name was only mentioned by
him 10 express a cordial approval OF
Senator SpOoner's amendment. As to
Senator Knox, he said that he did not
agree with a portion of his proposed
amendment, but thought that he made
a very strong argument for granting
afirmatively the Jurisdiction or author
ity of the court.
Il think, Mr.. President" continued
Mr.. Lodge, that it is a mere act Of
justice 10 allow this statement TO 20
out with that which was read and at
trfbuted to the late senator from New
Hampshire"
As Mr.. Lodge seemed to have con-
cluded, Mr.. Bailey asked IL the sena-
tor would tell the senate whether IL
was admitted by the executive that the
alleged conference took place.
Mr.. Lodge made the remark I'm clos
ing that it must be obvious to the
senator from Texas from what ne

admits fully that he had a conversa-
ton with ex-senator Chandler on the
subject, "as he has had with dozens

Women Who Can Talk Politics.

Speaker Reed once remarked mat
there was but one woman in Washing
ton society who could talk politics in
tellingently, and she is Mrs. Robert r.
Hit, wife of the representative from
Illinois. Mrs. Fairbanks realizes more
nearly the woman who is such a force
in British political life. She is a law
yer and a profound student Of social
conditions She is a worker in the
Junior Republic, and the present pcos-
porous condition Of that social ven
ture is largely due to her director.
Mrs. Lafollette, wife of the newly
elected senator from Wisconsin,, is
also a lawyer, and is interested in So
cial reform especially among the
younger criminal class. But the wo-
men of wealth, high position and in
tellectual force Of America, with rare
exceptions, are too fond Of the frivol-
tiles to take an active interest in
the movements which engross the
time of the women of the old World,
especially in Britain-Kansas City

ARMY OF BOYS Cunning
Convention of United Boys Brigades
of America to be Held Hcre-Ihcu-
sands to ParticiDate.

An army of several thousand boys is
to invade Philadelphia. The streets will
esound with the tramp of youthful
feet and the rumble of artillery, min
gled with the music of many bands,
for the boys who are coming are
members of United Boys Brigade of
America, and as completely equipped
a military organization as the United
States Army itself. They are coming
here for their annual national convea-
ton, which will be held the first week
in October, and the program is already
being arranged.
In addition to a day for business
there will be at least one day devoted
to sports and competitive drills. Older
soldiers open their eyes when they see
how we'll trained are the boys, and
there will be a street parade in which
an official estimate places the number
who will participate at about 5000. The
convention will close with a monster
religious rally, which will be addressed
by the foremost men of the country
who are interested in the religious as
we'll as the material welfare of boys.
The United Boys Brigade of Ameri-
CO is the outcome of the various boys
brigade movements which have been
attempted at different times in all
parts of the country by various inter
ests. Several years ago it was thought
best to combine all the organizations
into n body and to make the new
organization undenominatiOnal. Since
that time the growth has been remark
able. There are now over $4,000 boys
and young men enrolled in the United
States, the organization having a foot
hold in nearly every state.
The head of the national organiZa-
ton is Lieutenant General H. P. Bope,
Of Pittsburg, first vice president Of the
Carnegie Steel Company. Although a
busy man, one of great prominence in
the business, financial and social world,
he finds time TO do his share of the
work toward aiding boys to better
things and annually spends many
days and much money, not only with
the boys Of his own city, but with
those in other cities as we'll.

HEUMATSM
COMMON IN SUMNER AS IN WINTER

While the damp, cold, changing weather of
Winter intensihes the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and witch
ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en-
tire system. Its primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib-
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe-
verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff Joints, tfrobbing
muscles and singing nerves, but It is a formidable
and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed
