r. JOURNAL TALKS
"A TO ADVERTISERS
Small Beginnings

A Philadelphia builder, whose
name is as familiar to most of
us as the names of the principal
streets, began his career, says the
Philadelphia Record" after some
experience as a boss carpenter,
by putting up two houses. Add
ing the profits to his original
capital, he erected six more; then
sixteen; and now, in partnership
with another operator, he runs
up dwellings by the row. That
is the way most of the successful
advertisers of to-day started out.
They didn't begin with whole
pages in the newspapers-that
came afterwards. There is no
reason for any merchant to feel
difident about participating in the
profits of publicity because he
can't afford to make great splurge
at the outset. The gains from a
two-inch "ad" lay the foundations
for four inches-if the right
medium is chosen.
The Journal" is the right
medium TO reach those interested
in Five Mile Beach.

KING IN A RAGE.
Proposed Investigation of Financial
Administration in the Congo.

BRUSSELS. March 21.-A crisis is on be-
tween King Leopold and his ministry of
so serious nature to cause the mon
arch to again consider abdication
Details of the trouble. which has not
yet become publicly known. show that the
crisis was the result of the governments
intention to probe the relations of King
Leopold and the Congo Free State more
especially the financial administration OF
King Leopold and the privy domain.
Despite the objections of some OF the
ministers DESTROYS of preserving the good
will existing between the king and the
parliament. number of questions were
formulated, and Chevalier Vanderist. gen
eral secretary of the foreign Office. was
dispatched to put the questions to Leo
pold. WHO was resting at his villa at
Beaulieu. near Cannes.
When the nature of the questions dawned
on the king he flew into a violent rage.
DO they call me a tkef?" he demanded
dramatically of the luckless messenger
The kings anger was so great that he
is said to have become violently i'll and
to have been confined to his bed for some
days. Meanwhile the ministry was in con-
sternation for fear that the monarch would
carry out his threat to force all the resig-
atoms.
The crisis, however, was avoided solely
because of the kings realization of his

"SoLID GOLD" WORK LACQUER.
More Remarkable Testimony in Har
risburg Investigation.

HARRISBURG. Pa, March 21.-Accerd-
ing TO the testimony of witness yesterday
before the commission which is inquiring
into charges of extravaganza in the eXpen-
diture of 100000 for furnishing the CAPT
toll, the electric fixtures in the new building
are lacquered. instead of being of solid
gold mercurial finish, required by the
specifications This testimony was given by
John Meane of Philadelphia. who designed
many of the fixtures for the Pennsylvania
Bronze Company, subcontractor for John
II. Sanderson & Co., contractor for the
capitol furnishings and fittings.
Mr.. Meane testified that he made a tour
of the building and was unable to find any
mercurial fixtures. such as were called for
by the specifications. and that gold fin
ish would cost twenty times as much as the
lacquer finish. The witness said he had
no knowledge of the per pound rule by
which Sanderson was paid for the electric
fixtures. He said many of these fixtures
were too heavy, and that the rule of the
trade was to make fixtures as light as pos
sible.
Three representatives of Strawbridge &
Clothier of Philadelphia, testified as to the
methods employed by the board of public
grounds and buildings in awarding the
contract to Sanderson for the capitol fur
nShingS. These witnesses understood from
the specifications that they could bid on
separate items in the furnishing schedule.
and they had no knowledge of the resolu-
ton of the board which provided that con-
tractors must bid work whole
They disclaimed any knowledge of the
per foot rule by which Sanderson was
paid for the furniture. They claimed that
they were unable to get specific information
from the architect from the former
public building superintendent on which to
make an intelligent bid, and that they
had bid to furnish certain articles by the
piece, instead of by the per foot" because
they had never heard of the per foot"
rule.
II was also alleged Yesterday that al
though the items were not in the capitol
furnishing schedule and the board of public
grounds and buildings did not advertise for
bids for models for electric fixtures,
Sanderson was paid $l37, 800 for models,
sketches and working models for electric
Axtures" This developed during con-
yersation between Attorney Scarlet and
Senator Dewalt. Mr.. Scarlet said the bill
for this work had not been formally proved
and that he was not ready to offer the
proof.

SO SUFFRAGETTES LOCKED UP.
Wild Scenes of Riot Outside Parlia-
ment Houses.

LONDON March 21-An organized mob
OF woman suffragists attempted to enter
the precincts OF the house of commons yes
terday afternoon. Their progress was
barred by large force of police The
women acted riotously. and ffty-three of
them We're arrested. A scene OF wild dis
order was created by the struggle between
the police and the women in the vicinity
of the house of commons. 1t seems that the
invasion of the forbidden precincts was an
outcrapping of an open air meeting called
for the purpose of denouncing the members
of parliament who talked the Dickinson
suffrage bin to death a few days ago
After the women had been baftied In their
attempt to raid the commons they hurried
to the other end of the building and tried 10
invade the lords chamber. The police
again barred their way. One tall. splendid
looking girl insisted being arrested
She shouted: IL want to be arrested
''Ill see that you're not arrested. police
Inspector retorted IF you're looking for
martrSdom I'll see that you don't get it."
The inspector had to forget his words
within ten minutes and order the girls
arrest, for she made repeated and violent
attempts to break through the police cor
don.
An immense crowd assembled and pho
tographers were much in evidence By
O'Clock twenty women had been arrested.
and in anticipation of further disturbances
SeNeTdi iift eHBiileS were orueTtu 10 w est
minister presumably for the purpose of
administering water to the suffrag-
lists
Sir Edward Henry, chief commissioner of
police, directed the operations of the force
personally. During the afternoon Lady
Haberton was admitted to the commons
lobby for the purpose of handing in res
olution adopted by the outdoor meeting.
F'ifty-three women were arrested. among
them a number of Lancashire mill workers,
who demonstrated clad in shawls and clogs.
They had exciting struggles with the po-
lice.
