the night of introduction OF his res
olution, and helping him in the
preparation of his case. Furthermore
when Mr.. I.illey said that he had
never see nor known him before the
resolution was introduced. 1t must
have been difficult for him to forget
that he had conference with him on
Feb. 10, 1908, Immediately after the
action OF the naval committee; that
he went down in one OF the Lake Tor
pedo Co.'S boats with him the pre-
vious summer; that In the same sum-
mer Neff spent night at his hotel In
Waterbury, and dictated a telegram
for him to send to the SECRETARY of
the navy In the interest OF the Lake
Torpedo Boat Co.
"AIr. Lilley testihes that he talked
with no one connected with the Lake
Boat Co. concerning his intention TO
introduce such resolution and tha.
no one connected with the company
knew of his intention. The officers
of the Lake Co. say they had no
knowledge that II was to be intro
duced. According to the evidence,
both Webster and Thompson. how
ever, knew week beforehand that
1t was to be introduced. and whitney
swears that he had good reason
Ito believe that such a resolution
would be introduced. But whether or
not the Lake Co.'s officers knew that
1t would be introduced is quite Inn
material. II they did not they
showed miraculous degree OF pre-
paredness in availing themselves OF
the vast opportunity which this res
olution opened up for carrying on
their propaganda. A few hours after
Its introduction. Neff, the agent OF
the Lake Torpedo Boat Co, was ready
to make an arrangement with Mr..
Idlley TO consult with the general
counsel of the company concerning
the conduct OF the investigation
And from that time until the compile
ton OF the examination OF all the
witnesses named by Mr. Lilley the
conduct Of his case was in the hands
of the counsel and agent OF that
company"

The largest hay crop in the history
of the country is predicted for this
year, according to advance reports re-
,ceived in this city. Weather condi-
tions in the middle western states this
spring have been peculiarly adapted
for the growing of grasses and the
latest Government report placed the
development 10 date at SO per cent.
This is an unusual figure. SO great
is the interest in wheat and cotton
that the importance to the country of
IA good hay crop Is seldom fully re-
allied. Its value each year, however,
is over half billion dollars, and
last year It was the second most val
liable crop grown In the United States.
Ioutranking both wheat and cotton and
exceeded only by corn. Hay has the
unique distinction of being the only
agricultural produce approaching It in
Importance which Is never sold for flu
ture delivery and that is absolutely
dependent for its price on the daily
fluctuations of supply and demand.
In the case OF the cereals and cotton
the producer Is able to sell his product
at q figure made in a world market
and miller or manufacturer by buy
ing for future delivery can tell before
hand what his flour or his cotton
cloth Is going TO cost him. Large users
Of hay, however, do not know from
zone day TO another what price they
will have to pay. Chicago consumes
/ 20 carloads or hay al day, or nearly
100000 tons a year. Much of this
comes from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa. and
even from points as distant as Kan
sas. Arkansas and Indian Territory.
New York and Pennsylvania are the
banner hay states, with Iowa close
third.

CHICAGO NEWS LETTER.

Chicago, May 20.--It Is estimated
that the cost to the newspapers OF the
country of giving the news OF the
Republican National Convention this
year will be a quarter OF a million
dollars. Although the convention Is
still six weeks off the preparations for
Iit have been put actively under way
with the opening OF headquarters here
this week by Secretary Dover OF the
National Committee, and the letting
of contracts for red white and blue
bunting. From the reports that have
been received and the record OF res
|ervations at the hoters It will be the
largest political gathering ever held
In this country II Is likely also to
be the most fully reported II the de-
!mand for press accommodations is
|any indication. The news assocla-
ltions have announced that they will
|need more space than ever before and
|papers which ordinarily send only one
representative are asking for places

Everybody In the country is inter-
ested, are one OF its most important
features and the managers OF the APP

visions for reporting its proceedings.

After all there is scientific basis for
the cid rhyme:
"Coming storms on shooting corn pre-
sage,
Your aches will throb, your hollow
tooth will rage"
It's the low barimetric pressure
that sets the aches ito throb' and "the
hollow tooth to rage" Professor
Cox, the weather man, had to admit
that United States Judge Bethea's
rheumatic twinges were, after all, good
signs of rain. and 50 he explained
scientifically what caused 1t, thus:
I'When there Is a lower barometric
pressure. the Weighing down Of the
air Is diminished and accordingly the
air In the bloodvessels and skin ex-
pands causing pain. lower bar
ometer always precedes rain, ane this
explains why rheumatism always is
more painful just before storm.
When the barometer rises, the out
side air becomes heavier, the pressure
OF the air within the body is lessened
and the pain ceases. According to
Professor Cox, this Is the basic prin-
c'ple OF all the old time weather saws:
"Old sinners who have all
Points OF Compass in their joints
Can by their pains and aches find
All turns and changes OF the wind"
Humidity has nothing whatever to
do with all these Signs" Joints are
just as likely to ache during a 'dry
low as wet low barometer; so
says the weather man.

1.-The story hour" has come to be an
established innovation for entertain
ment TO the children In Chicago parks
and public library with myths, with
King Arthurs adventures and Fairy
lore to entertain play-weary and work
weary youngsters. The purpose of
the women who established "the
story hour" was TO put virile tales
TO use in character building, and they
have made Robin Hood serve a useful
purpose in preventing 'hoodluism. ="
at is amazing to see how quick the
children are to absorb and apply good
stories" one sponsor for the plan
says. Eastern cities have taken the
lead in providing reading in the
schools to supplement the routine
studies. Only recently Greek myths
and their art @ere put into form by
the Prangs OF New York for compre-
hension by children, the writer having
brought out as never before the heroic
motives and meanings of those old
classics. In many ways children are
e!etting more consideration from
their elders and "the powers that
be" In Chicago each year. An or
ganization here proposes that Novem-
ber 2Gth OF each year be set aside as
'childrens day and that festivities
for youngsters only be held, in
which grown ups" shall duly take
notice that children have rights which
should be observed.

Babies OF two continents next
Christmas will find st. Nick's pack
to be light; depression in the Ger
Iman toy industries Is foreboding. Toy
dealers here and throughout the Unit
ed States have materially reduced
their orders. In January, 1908, the
Iexpor.s of toys from Germany 10 the
United States amounted TO $50 tons.
This was little more than nalf the
Iamount in 1907. when the figures for
the same period showed an export of
90i tons to this country. Two things
caused tn edecrease; in the first place
the financial stringency has caused a
marked falling OFF In the American
trade. On top OF this discouraging
influence, the German manufacturers
OF toys have attempted to raise their
Iprices from 10 to Is per cent, which
buyers refused to like, and in fact 1t
CLOSED the foreign markets to a large
extent. In Chicago the books OF the
collector of customs show that in
April, 1907, German toys TO the value
Iof s2l, ,5A were imported by Chicago
firms. In 1908, during the same
month, only $11 600 worth were re-
ceived. This shows drop OF nearly
one-haIlf in Chicago toy trade One
of the largest toy dealers In the West
expects that his purchases from Ger
many this year will be at least 40 per
Iecnt. less than usual. Another esti-
mates that his importations will be
cut down a third. AS a result OF all
this, the American toy-makers are in
a desperate condition, the home toy
makers especially, while In the fac
tories, the hours OF labor. number
of employees and salaries have been
reduced. ~
