KNEW THE
SECRETS OF COTTON
Secured Information as to Fig
ures Before Report Was
Issued.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-statisttcian
Victor II. Olmsted. OF the Department
OF Agriculture, was recalled to-day In
the trial of Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., on
the charge Of conspiracy to defraud
the government by divulginE the de-
partmcnt's information concerning the
cotton crop before it's authorized pub
licatton. He was requested to again
explain the processes Of the Bureau Of
Statistics. and this explanation was
followed by an effort to elicit from him
a statement as to whether an official
of the bureau acquainted with the res
ports and familiar with the methods
OF the chief stntistician (then Mr.
HYDE could form in advance an accu-.
rate opinion Of what q given report
would contain: hut, as In tho case Of
Mr.. Fessenden, the question was ruled
out. Judge Stafford, presiding In the
case. even went to the extent OF for
mulnting question covering the point,
but afterwards decided that his own
inquiry would be out Of order, and
withdrew it.
This effort on the part Of tho prose-
cution and tho similar endeavor In con-
nection with Mr.. Fessenden's testimony
make 1t evident that the government
has been hopeful Of showing that even
though Holmes could not havo had
absolute information concerning the
final figures OF the cotton crop reports
previous to their PRONUNCIATION, his gen
eral knowledge was such as to have
rendered valuable an estimate by him
and to have made the giving out of
such estimate in violation Of the law
forhidding such course by officials So
far 1t has been found impossible under
the rules OF the court to secure adj
mission Of such testimony, and the at
titude Of the defnse has made 1t plain
that 1t Will resist oil efforts in that
| direction.

Win Success InNursinG.

Nursing the sick is perhaps the most
attractive field for the ambitious
woman who would win success and
make the most of life. 1t IS a refined
occupation. 1t gives skill to the hand
and grace to the heart. 1t is the best
paying occupation now open to women,
and presents an overwhelming field of
opportunity. The call for nurses is a
worldwide call. 1t is the one calling
which is not over-crowded. The de-
mand for skilled nurses increases with
years. Thousands of young women
have the natural graces of the skilled
nurse, but have never had a chance to
cultivate them, and SO have been pre-
vented from proving their own cOndi-
ton and blessing the race. But new
day has dawned. Large hearted
phiianthropists have opened wide the
door of opportunity at the Philadelphia
School for nurses, 2219 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, Pa. A two years free
course has been established at this in
stitution, wherein the student is provid
ed with room, board, laundry, nurse
uniforms, and all the refinements of a
good home, with suitable training, In
struction and actual nursing in the
homes of the poor and among people of
moderate income, and at the end of the
course the students fare home is paid.
The term can be shortened to eigh
teen months by a course of SIX months
reading and study at home-a course
which is very valuable in itself. Humid
reds of young women, scattered all
over The country, are started In the
work, becoming not only self support
ing, but a boon to their respective
neighborhoOds.
A short Course is also provided for
the woman who wishes to quickly pre-
pare for self-support and a substantial
income. Enrolment is now in pro-
gress for a class of four hundred STU
dents in the resident courses next year.
Young women from the smaller towns
and country districts are favored in
the distribution of scholarships, with a
view of conveying hospital knowledge
to all rural communities.

WORK WEAKENS
The KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done
Great Service For People
Who Work In Paris.

Most Paris people work every day in
some strained, unnatural position -
bending constantly over a desk riding
on iolting wagons or cars-doing iabori-
Gus housework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in hundred
and one other ways. All these strains
tend to weaken and injure the kidneys
until they fall behind in their work of
filtering the poisons from the blood.
DOan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,
put new strength in bad backs. Paris
cures prove it.

BRYAN IN OPPOSITION
DISLIKES PRESIDENTS PLAN
FOR RAILROAD CONTROL.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. October 11-Oppo-
sftion to President Roosevelt's suggestion
OF national Incorporation of railroads was
declared In an interview here yesterday
by William J. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan said:
The national Incorporation of rallroad Is
as proposed by President Roosevelt is the
most farreaching step for Capitalization
proposed in this country since Hamilton
submitted his plan of government
Hamilton provided for President and
senators, to be elected for life and for
the appointment of state governors by
the national government to serve for life
The Presidents plan contemplatas the
national incorporation of railroads and
other corporations doing an interstate
business The result would be to extend
greatly the powers of the general govern
ment and proportionally reduce the au-
thority of the states. The President Is no
doubt actuatad by the same sincere mo-
tves that Hamilton was. but, like Hamil-
ton. he seems to believe that the further
we get government away from the people
the better 1t is.
Il am satisfied that his plan will not be
accepted In fact, two official bodies have
recently taken the other side. The at
torney generals at st. Louis prepared a
memorial asking for restriction of the jul
risdicton of the lower federal courts, ana
this morning s. papers report that the
state railroad commissioners have ex-
pressed opposition to national incorpora-
ton"

sion Of the legislature to convene Novem-

ment Of laws to regulate railroads, secure
re asonable rates. prevent discrimina ton
and prepare the proper means of securing

ceiving more for service of any kind by
common carrier than is allowed by law
and fix a time in which overcharges may
damages for charge of any amount over
that allowed by the state act.
Laws are also advocated to prohibit the
admittance to trains to those who have
tried to buy tickets at the reduced rates
and have been denied them; to provide a
maximum charge; to amend the maximum
and other state laws to the extent that
they may be enforced: also to provide for
testing reasona bleness of their rates and
to provide a rule proceeding in cases
where injunction may he issued against
any state officer.
Other measures to be discussed provide
for handling baggage. taking care of cases
arising in other states. free tranSporta ton
on street cars OF city officers and school
children. amending of the demurrer laws;
the hulletining of trains, and the amend
ing of any law that may seem best with
regard to railroad control.
