GARFIELD DENIES STATEMENT
Commissioner Takes Stand and Says
He Did Not Promise the
Packers Immunity
By Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Feb Accommodations
of Corporations Garfield took the stand
today in the packers case and denied
many of the statements made by the
witnesses for the packers during the
hearing of the case now i'll progress.
Edward Morris, Edward Swift and
Arthur Meeker, representatives re-
spectively of the packing firms of Nell
son Morris & Co., Swift & Co. and Ar
mour &, Co., all testified that Commits
sioner Garfield had told them that his
department had the power to compel
information if they refused to give it
willingly.
Mr.. Garfield today declared that he
had never made such statement. He
also denied that he had promised i'm
munity to the packers, saying that the
only protection that had been prom
Used was protection for the individual
packers of their confidential figures
This, he said, had been given them
and although the average of these con-
fidential figures had been given in the
report of the commissioner on the beef
inquiry, individuals had been respected
and their names had not been given.
He also denied positively that he
promised that all information would
be regarded as confidential. He also
denied that he had at any time said
anything regarding an oath in connec-
ton with the inquiry. Mr.. Garfield was
the first witness for the government,
the packers having rested their case
shortly before the noon recess of court
today

CHURCH FIGHTS OVER MONEY
Husky Constable Guarding Collection
Box Is Thrown Downstairs and
Into the Street

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Constable
Michael Carroll who was hired by
Rev. Father Weirziskie, pastor of st.
Stephens Polish Catholic church in
Paterson, N. j., to guard the collection
box, told yesterday in Justice Mac
Donalds court the story Of an exciting
encounter in the church last Sunday
with athletic members Of the congre-
cation. who regarded him as a butter
In The constable's eyes were discol-
ored, his face badly scratched and he
exhibited a broken helmet and a ruined
uniform.
1t was the first time the constable
had been able to leave his home since
the encounter and he called to make
complaints of assault and battery
against Stephen Lupenski, John sgd
linsky Frank YusouskitZ, stephen
Lentsky and Stanislaus Kreminsky. All
were arrested and gave bail for their
appearance in the sessions court.
The fight was the outcome of an or
der from the pastor resembling the APP
pointment of Lupensk as collector for
the church. Lupenski had been ap-
pointed by the trustees, but the pastor
objected to him because he is a saloon
keeper. The trustees rebelled, declar-
ing that Lupenski or nobody would
serve. The pastor deemed 1t prudent
to engage a policeman to take the job
and Carroll was willing. He stood
guard over the collection box at the
main entrance last Sunday as the con-
gregation passed in.
He was in uniform and carried
billy" Before the services began Luz
penski and several of his friends APP
preached the constable and questioned
his right to come to their church and
take charge of the collection box. The
trouble began at once. Half a dozen
men seized the constable and when the
struggle ended Carroll was in the
street, badly damaged. The church is
on the second floor.

HOLES BORED INFO MINE FIRE
After Two Years and a Loss Of
100000, Fighters Conquer
the Raging Flames
Special to The Herald.


Special to The Herald.
SHAMOKIN, Pa, Feb. 20.-After the
flames had ragged two years, causing
almost 100000 damage in the Enter
prise mines, operated by w. l.. Carroll
& Co. Of Scranton, the fire was official
ly declared extinguished today. 1t will
be months before the plant will ship
coal, however, as the workings have
to be drained of slush and water. Six
hundred men and boys will be en-
ployed.
When the fire broke out unusual
methods We're resorted to to conquer
it, but the flames spread so rapidly
that the fire fighters were driven back
by the heat to such a distance that
they could not judge exactly at what
point the main seat Of trouble existed.
Boreholes were sunk and water and
dirt was run through them.
A number of times the fire was
thought to be extinguished, but the
flames soon reappeared in other sec
lions and a general fear prevailed that
millions of dollars worth of coal land
belonging to the Reading would be de-
stroyed.
The best mine fire experts in the state
were pressed into service, and the blaze
was conquered below water level. Fire
later appeared above that level, pre-
senting a worse problem than ever.
Finally, largely through a system of
boreholes, slush and water proved
effective.

DREW DOVE OF PEACE
General Grant Hits on Scheme to Quiet
QuarreIing Soldiers and
1t Wins
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Over on Gov
ernor' island the army officers are
telling good story which has for its
hero their commander, Gen. Fred d.
Grant.
Two soldiers on the island were con-
stantly in trouble on account of their
hatred for each other, and every time
they met, which was almost daily,
there was a scrap. They were con-
stantly up before the colonel for disci-
pline, but the mild punishment he in
ficted was without result.
Finally the colonel lost patience and
put the matter UP to General Grant.
He studied the situation for a moment,
then sent for the sergeant-major and
said:
Just see that those two men, Crow
ley and Hitchins, clean all the bar
rack windows. Crowley TO do the out
side, while Hitchins attends to the in
side: and recollect, neither man is to
leave any window till the other has
finished"
The scheme was highly successful.
The enemies scowled thunderously,
even murderously, at each other for
five windows, but flesh and blood could
hold out no longer. At the sixth they
burst out laughing and have been the
best of chums ever since.

Notes for Women
Character on the Neck

A new method Of reading feminine
character is by observing the size,
shape, curves and lines Of the neck
Authorities on The art assert that the
girl who is fond Of admiration has a
full, swanlike neck She is usually a
maiden who displays her throat and
whose neck Is her peculiar vanity, for
II Is very pretty. A moderately short,
but very wide neck-so wide as to be a
little out Of proportion to the figure
marks the woman Of strong vitality
and length of life. It goes With a great
deal of, vivacity and animal spirits. On
the other hand, the woman with a very
long, slender neck Is said to be deficient
in vital power and is inclined to be in
dolent and apathetc. Almost always
this type of neck lin which there are
usually prominent cords) denotes a
short life. Lastly, there is the type of
neck which belongs to the willful
woman, who insists on having her own
way. Its chief popularity is that It is
curved in the back, and It goes with
an Independent character. If the head
pushes very far forward ambition is
shown; while If the chin drops there is
great stubbornness.

While Captain Swenson of the yacht
Leone was bringing in a large load OF
lobs tiers from the Santa Cruz island late
last night his little vessel collided with
the steamer laqua, sailing north without
sufficient lights to be seen by the men
on the smaller vessel. The crew of the
Leone was scared.
At least eight vessels came around the
breakwater yesterday afternoon and last
night, anchoring in the outer harbor UNI

The little steamer Nellie, which plies
between here and Long Beach, stuck her
nose in the mud at the upper end of the
Salt Lake wharf yesterday and could not
be taken off until high tide. There were
over a hundred passengers on board
who had to be taken Off and carried to
their destination on the new steamer
Orient. belonging to Captain Duffy. II
was the second trip of the Orient and
was made from here to Long Beach In
thirty-six minutes, the fastest time ever
made between the two places.

Women Growing More Beautiful

Physiognomists, physical culture ex-
perts and beauty specialists, who con-
gregate in London, say that Londoners
are improving in feature, in coloring
and in physique.
Women are attaching increasing i'm
portance to the necessity of preserving
and perfecting their looks. Powder and
paint are out of date; massage, cleo
tricity and muscular manipulation have
taken their place. Compilations have
improved because of the rage for fresh
air, and the carriage has been i'm
mensely benefited by physical culture"
Women Who Do Things
Hiss Hughes, the new secretary to
the Royal Asiatic society, is one of the
few English women to go in for San
skirt and other oriental languages after
her college days were over. For over
ten years she has been assistant Sec
rotary and librarian of the society,
which includes some of the most dis
tinguished orientalists of the day, and
her appointment to the position left
vacant by the resignation of Prof. Rhys
Davids, who has accepted the chair of
comparative religions at Victoria uni
versity, Manchester, seems to have
given general satisfaction to the men,
bers as well as to the friends of Miss
Hughes.

Old-fashioned crochet and broad
Hamburg insertion through which rib
bon can be run are two trimmings
which are now evident in household
decorations. The insertion run with
broad satin ribbon is used across the
ends of pillow cases, and the bedspread
is carried out in the same style, usually
by applying it straight across the top
edge in place of the turned down sheet.
Curtains of the white, also bordered
with the insertion and ribbon, also are
put ON at the sides and tied at the
corners where the spread is not made
to hang low. In each case the material
is of muslin in light weight which looks
far prettier than would be imagined
when trimmed in this way.

Children and Sugar

Children have an appetite for sugar
out for it with an insistence proper
toned to its necessities. 1t has made
weakly, puny children strong and roA
bust by satisfying what appeared to
the mother to be morbid craving. 1t
furnishes the needed carbohydrate ma
terial to organisms that have as yet
little or no power to digest starch; thus
milk sugar is part Of the natural food
of the infant. Sugar by the lump or
pure candy is better for the child when
at play, but it would be we'll to serve
cereals without sugar Sugar does not
mix we'll (hygienicaly) with anything.
1t is not the fault Of the sugar, but of
the combination.

of Colon with water for their houses. There we
took lunch at the engineers mess. We then
went through the stores and shops of Cristobal,
inspecting carefully the houses of both the white
and colored employees, married and unmarried,
together with the other buildings. We then
went 10 Colon and saw the fire department at
work; in four minutes from the signal the en-
gines had come down to Front street and twen-
ty-one 2k-inch hose pipes were raising streams
or water about Seventy-fiVe feet high. We rode
about Colon, through the various streets, paved
unpaved and in process of paving, looking at the
bitches, sewers, curbing and the lights. then
went over the Colon hospital in order to COM
pare il with the temporary town or field receiv-
ing hospitals which I had already seen and in
spected. also inspected some of the dwellings
of the employees. In the evening / attended a
reception given by the American employees on the
lsthmus, which took place on one Of the docks
in Colon, and from there went aboard the Louisi-
ana.
Each day from twelve to eighteen hours were
spent In going over and inspecting all there
was TO be seen and in examining various en-
ployes. Throughout my trip I was accompa-
MED by the Surgeon General of the Navy DR.
Rixey; by the chairman of the Isthman Canal
commission, Mr.. Shonts; by Chief Engineer
Stevens; by DR.. Gorgas. the chief sanitary Off
Ger OF the commission; by Mr. Bishop, the sec

lecting and handling the laboring force; by Mr.
Bierd, general manager of the railway and
by Mr. Rogers, the general counsel of the COM
mission. and many other officials Joined from
time TO time.
Al the outset l. wish TO pay tribute TO the
amount OF work done by the French Canal Com
pany under very difficult circumstances. Many
OF the buildings they put up We're excellent, and
still in use, though, naturally, the houses
now getting out of repair and are being
used as dwellings, only until other houses can
be built; and much of the work they did in the
Culebra cut and some of the work they did in
digging has been of direct and real benefit. This
country has made a better investment
than the $40O00O00 which it paid to the French
company for work and betterments including
especially the Panama Railroad.
An inspection the ground at the height of
the rainy season served TO convince me OF the
wisdom of Congress in refusing TO adopt either
a high level or a sea level canal There seems
TO be a universal agreement among all people
competent to judge that the Panama route the
one actually chosen, is much superior to both
the Nicaragua and Darien routes.
The wisdom of the canal management has
been shown in nothing clearly than in
the way in which the foundations of the
work have been laid. To
