per With Figures, as Mathues Was
Implicated in Graft Charges Brought
by Capitol commission-state EN-
pioyes Were Aiding in tho Work.

tion was caused here today by the

to George P. Young, clerk in the treas
ury, who was originally appointed by
night, for we are going to pull off a
job" Stott was clerk in the treas

nNnicated what he heard to his fellow
clerks in the treasury, and they con-
cluded to watch the department. Nc

over the ledgers and other records with
Young and c. D. Willis, clerk in the
internal affairs department and po-
litical lieutenant Of the former state

tify before the capitol investigation
commission. His version of the affair
lis that he and Willis walked toward the
capitol and met Young In the capitol
grounds. In discussing matters gem
orally, Mathues says he asked Young
the character OF the work he was do
ing under Berry Young tried to tell
him in general way, and finally, to
give Mathues idea of the cleriacal du-
ties, he took down the ledgers and
some books in which important pay
ments are recorded. and laid them be-
fore Mathues and Willis. The inspec-
ton was being made when McGrann
appeared on the scene. All the books
in the treasury had been carefully

GAS STOCKS DEPRESSED.
Failure Of A. e. AppIeyard Announced
in Philadelphia Stock Exchange.

Philadelphia, June 13.-Announce-
ment was made on the stock exchange
today Of the insolvency Of A. E. Apple
yard, one of its members. Appleyard
created a sensation yesterday by sell
ing many thousands of shares of stock
in the United Gas Company, depress-
ing the price nearly 81 per share.
Appleyard has disappeared. Until
yesterday Appleyard's operations on
the exchange had been so insignificant
that he was known to only few OF
his fellow members.
Appleyard was the head of what is
known as the "Appleyard syndicate"
which few years ago attempted to
secure q chain of banks thruout the
country and did succeed in controlling
the banks in Buffalo, Washington and
this city. He and associates bought
control Of the City Trust. Company in
Philadelphia in 1904, giving notes for
stock. The company collapsed few
months thereafter, and the institution
is still in the hands Of q receiver.

Norfolk, Va, June 13.-"Journallsm
Since Jamestown" was the subject Of
an address delivered before the Ma
tional Educational association at the
jamestown exposition today, by Cros-
by S. Noyes, edition Of the Washington
Star. Noyes reviewed the history of
the struggles of Captain John Smith,
and compared his achievements In
planting and sustaining an English
colony, with the deeds Of President
Roosevelt in this generation, and de-
clared that they were as worthy OF
glorification, but lacked the aid of the
newspaper press that had so greatly
helped the latter in his upward career"
Newspapers, the speaker declared.
have given Roosevelt their vigorous
! support in his reform policies; have
exploited all of his sayings and doings
thru twenty-four hours a day; glor;-
fed the man and made his work and
name household word in every home
in the land. Roosevelt has seemed
somewhat slow in acknowledging llfs
indebtedness to the press" Noyes said,
"but perhaps he will think of it some
day when he's not too busy. He's a
good deal of boy yet, as well as a
most masterful president"

lltera ture, that the rule would IS
the packers practically unlimited :,
troll of the payments for stock =

seller at the mercy of corrupt offi.T :"
In regard to this claim 1t is d ~ ed
that the packers do not in fact = -rol
the meat inspection and that ti.s. Will
be no more danger of corrupt Officials;
under the rule than at present. These
officials are acting under the direction
of the secretary of agriculture. and
they direct absolutely what the pack
ers must do with the carcasses that
are rejected. There can be no advan-
tage to the packers. as intimated, in
the rejection of some carcasses.
The packers do not, as matter or
fact, stand the losses. They shave the
prices on stuff likely to have certain
proportion of reflections SO as to give
themselves sufficient margin to stand
all losses. Thus the real loss falls ups
on the sellers of cattle, not upon those
who sell the defective stuff but upon all
alike. The owners of the herds chat
are perfectly healthy suffer for the loss
occasioned by sending to market dis
eased animals.

1t will not be pretended that Iowa is
free from tuberculosis. On the con-
trary the disease Is alarminglN- on the
increase. It is found that there are
several packers who refuse Iowa stuff
from certain sections of the state, and
that buyers for eastern houses In Chi
cago, for instance, have orders to not
buy for them any hogs from Iowa. The
dairy regions Of the state are especi-
ally under the ban. There is one
packer in Iowa who has schedule OF
thirty places, all in dairy regions, from
which he will accept no hogs. This
prevalence of tuberculosis in hogs eS-.
pecially in the dairy regions, has ir-
creased with great rapidity since the
adoption OF the farm separator system
under which the farmers are able to
feed to hogs their fresh milk.
The enforcement of the new rule of
the packers will meet with general ap-
proval by the stock men and farmers
of Iowa as soon as they understand
what 1t means to them. Under this
they believe that the source Of tube--
culosis will be traced back directly to
the herds and farms that are affected
and when this Is done, long step will
nave been taken in the matter Of
stamping out the disease. AT any rate
Iowa will hardly join the commission
houses In trying to cover UP the while
matter of tuberculosis so that no head
way can be made.

claim that unless preservat1ve IS
used fermentation cannot be prevented.
They insist that benzoate of soda IN
the quantities in which they use II Is
not injurious to health. The filler they
manufacture is shipped to pie factories
all over the country. and unless fer
mentation can be prevented it will be
unfit for use when 1t reaches its des-
tination.
Not only is benzoate of soda used as
a preservative to prevent fermentation
in pie filler but 1t is used for the same
purpose by many manufacturers or
catsup.
The manufacturers OF pie filler are
here in force at the hearing, and are
fighting for their lives. The officials
who are to decide whether or not we
are to have pie are performing their

MAKE ROAD BALLAST
Plant Which the Burlington is In
staIIina on Farm Near Farrasut,
Will Be One Of the Largest Tempo
rary Affairs in the West - Ballast
From Gumbo.

Special to Times Republican.
Farragut, June 13.-The plant for the
production Of ballast, which the Bur-
lington is Installing here, is going to
be one Of the largest for q temporary
affair ever constructed in the west.
At present about fifty men are at work
laying q track to the farm on which
the ballast is to be made from gumbo
w. F. Watt, who is to superintend
the making of ballast for the company,
is now on the ground. The contract for
the work provides that 100000 cubic
yards of ballast are to be made this
year. When in full blast, about twen-
ty-f1ve men will be employed and the
burning of the gumbo will require the
use of twenty five cars of slack day
The process is unique and simple. The
gumbo, after being uncovered, is COM
pletely covered with a layer Of coal,
which is fired. When the coal is thor
oughly afire it is covered with a layer
of gumbo, which in turn is covered
with another layer of gumbo and an
other Of coal, the process being re-
peated indefinitely
The burning will be kept up until
the latter part of November or De-
cember, and none of the ballast will be
shipped until the following spring. The
pit will remain hot for months after the
firing process ceases. At the point OF
operations the gumbo is six feet deep
and upwards Of 100000 cubic yards, II
is expected, will be produced from this
one farm. Each cubic yard will ballast
five feet Of track, and what Is produced
from this place will ballast 300 miles OF
railroad, or q distance across the
state.
The cost of the wor kis enormous
The ballast on board of cars will cost
81 per yard, or 100000 for the entire
output, and to burn which 10000 cars
of coal will be required.
