EAT SEVEN TIMES 4 DAY.
Rest Frequently, and Sleep Nine
 Hours a Night,

Washington. Aug 15.-Charles H. Treat, treasurer of the United Sta es. has a formula for winter and summer.
 Careful diet and an abundance ot rest will do wonders for any man in this hot weather" said Mir Treat to- day. ordinarily in the summer a mans nerves become a little ragged and his muscles flabby, thereby linn. iting the amount of work he can do. Careful study and actual experience have taught me that light meals are absolutely necessary.
 Tt Is a serious mistake to eat heartily at this time of the year. I believe in eating as often as seven times a day, always provided that on each occasion the lunch is very light. One of the best dishes I know of is rice and milk, with a dash of salt.
 There is one other practice that I follow religiously. I rest al every opportunity. When I go home in the afternoon I invariably lie down for half or three-quar CTS of an hour, relax every muscle and possibly take a nap.
 During the summer I make it a rule to sleep more ths, in the vin- ter. I want nine hours sleep every night and every man who is anxious to keep his health should have as much"

STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
Not Enough Contractors to Complete
 the Connecticut Roads.

Hartford, Aug 15.-A circular is- sued by the state highway commits sioner's department in regard to good roads work in this state, among other things says:
 We have not contractors enough in the state. if every section of road that is to be done in the state were ready this moment, to enter upon and complete this work. There is a dearth of road building contracts or l shall have men visit the towns all through the season and do all the work that is possible
 The commissioner finds himself circumscribed to an extent by a law passed in 1907 regarding repairs on the highways concerning which he has received an opinion from the at torney-general. which in part reads:
 You state that some of the high ways which have heretofore been constructed under previous statutes under which statute aid has been granted. have not been kept in re- pair but have been so neglected tkat to place them in proper condition will practically require their reconstruc- ton.
 Tn my opinion. section does not authorize a construction or rebuilI- ing of such highways. but is limited to future repairs of such highways"

HAD TO AMPUTATE.
Foot of Brooklyn Man Injured in
 Auto Crash Removed.

-NS" ildNSn, AuS lOs--AI the DIT vate sanitarium of Dr Cheney yester- day afternoon Mir Niemetz, the Brooklyn man who was injured in the automobile accident which oc- cured in East Haven Thursday night. underwent, an operation in which one of his feet was amputated. This man was caught in the gearing when thrown out of the car and upon examination 1t was found that his foot was too badly crushed to be saved and an operation was deter mined upon. Mir Niemetz sustained the operation we'll and was reported to have rallied from the immediate effects finely. Ultimate recovery is expected though Dr Cheney could not say last night as the operation had been too recent to determine.
 The ownership of the car is also being kept as secret. It is said that 1t Is the property of man who is spending the summer at the Gran ite Bay hotel and who is a close friend of the proprietor of the hotel. The car is a racing car and it is said that 1t has been used in a number Of races. It is a powerful six cylinder car. The car was removed late yes. terday and taken away in a trucking team to be repaired. It was very badly damaged. both axles being broken and many of the important parts It is expected to have the car in trim again in about two weeks.
 It developed yesterday that the man who was running the car, Franklin J. Donlin, was badly in- jured in the accident. At first he thought he had two ribs fractured, but upon careful examination by Dr. Holbrook of East Haven yesterday 1t was found that this was not the case. However, the doctor found that Donlin was suffering from very severe strain between the ribs and his injury is quite bad one The strain is a muscle strain and hard to remedy.

BANK CLERk IN JAIL,
Nobody Suspected Fogel Till Cashier
 Happened to Peep.


 Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Aug 15.-Nor- man J. Fogel, bank clerk, who on $1,200 year salary sported three automobiles, was arraigned yester> day charged with embezzlement from the First National bank of this city. The loss will likely exceed S10,000.
 Fogel's system of getting the money was explained by President Mclean and was so simple that it had deluded the bank officials for two years. The peculations started in November. 1906, and continued until August 1, when they were dis covered The money had been aiken in amounts ranging from s100 to $500. and the cash receipts on the day books had been decreased that amount, by change or erasure, whenever the money was taken. Once, it is stated, Fogel managed to issue cashiers check for $l,,. 900 to a motor company for a ma chine which he purchased.
 The fact that he has had an au- tomobile for the past IS months and that he was known to be spending money freely did no: apparently arouse the suspicious of the bank officials until recently, and even then, 1t is said. it was more by ac- cident than design that he was caught. Cashier Francis Douglas chanced to pass Fogel while he was erasing some figures, and stopping over to see what he was doing was impressed by Fogel's suspicious start and confusion. The investigation followed.

GRAND REGATTA
Racing Conditions We're Very InvliiDg for ihe Champion.
 ship Races Today.

Springfield, Mass. Aug. 15.-The early morning conditions for the final and championship day of the Nation al regatta were fully as inviting to the oarsmen and as pleasing to the thousands of spectators as those which prevailed in the first events yesterday. The placid waters of the Connecticut with its gently flowing current were scarcely more than ruff fled by the soft breeze which blew directly across from the westward while overhead the sultry rays of the sun were tempered by a film of clouds.
 With these conditions prevailing all the oarsmen who came here for the regatta hastened out onto the river this morning for warming-up spins and for several hours the wa ter was alive with swiftly moving craft. All the championship aspir- ants were out for morning row, and Bennett, the title holder and the To- cal favorite, took long spin in spite of his hard work of yesterday.
 The great finish which the Spring field pair made in the senior doubles yesterday afternoon, with Bennett rowing out the last fifty yards al- most alone, made the champion to- day strong favorite for the great event. Even his opponents. after seeing his work and the strength of his oar admitted to-day before the race that he was the most dangerous man of the four.
 The race officials went out on the river during the forenoon and replac- ed some of the buoys which had been dragged out of position so that with launches, rowboats, canoes and 25 or 30 shells the course was a lively place for many hours before the first event was called.

War Record Saves a Forger.

New York, Aug 15.-A good war record saved Samuel T. Bondhus from a long term in Sing Sing. BOndhus. who has been a promoter, got about s100 by forging a eer;i- fieate of incorporation. When he was arraigned for sentence yester- day in General Sessions his lawyer said:
 This man has served his country well. When the Spanish American var broke out he enlis ed in a na- tional guard regiment which had no chance of getting to the front. Then he enlisted in the regular army. Be cause of his courage at Santiago and San Juan he was made a captain in the first regulars.
 Then he went to the Philippines and took part in the relief of an am pushed I allan. After that he went vith his regiment 10 China and took part in the scaling of the walls of Pekin.''
 Such a record deserves consider aticn. said Judge Grain Instead of giving you 10 years. as could do. I will send you to the peniten- tiary for one year"

LAKE IS HOPEFUL
Says LiIIey is Claiming Every ihlDg Now But His Turn is
 Coming So0D.

Hartford, Aug 15.-The following statement was issued at the head quarters of the Lake club at Hart ford to-day:
 1 "Inasmuch as statements have been made in the press of the state claiming great majority of the del- egates so far elected favorable to MT | Lilley, we deem it only fair in jus tice to the many frienos of Everett J. Lake in the state to say that all though a great majority of the cau- l cuses already held have been i'll the towns formerly supposed to be favor able to MT Lilley, we have assur- ances from the majority of the dele gates, even in these towns, that they are favorable to MT Lake for gov ernor.
 Very few caucuses have been held in the districts that are prac- tically unanimous for MT Lake, for the reason that it was considered only fair by Lieutenant-Goyerno Lakes friends that no caucuses be called until after the last day of reg istration, August IA, in order that all persons desiring to register might take part in the primaries. This we believe to be the meaning and spirit if not the letter of the law.
 From the returns already made, considering that very large part of them come from Litchfield county and towns formerly supposed to be favorable to Mir Lilley, we are con- vinced that MT Lake will have ma jority in the convention, that will as- sure him of the nomination on the first ballot"

MURPHY SPEAKS OUT
Be Says New York is Goiuq Democratic and That Bryan
 is Stronger Than Ever.

New York, Aug 15.-Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, gave out an interview to-day in which he declared that his view oi the political situation in New York state is that the democracy is go- ing to win this year"
 Of MT Bryan the Tammany chief tain said:
 MT Bryan is much stronger in the state than he was either in 1896 or 1900. Why? I do not exactly know yet, but the fac remains that there is variety of evidence on which to base belief in his increased popularity.
 One reason, I think lies in dis satisfaction with Roosevelt and Rooseveltism policies-too much au- tocratic rule and swinging of the big sick. A great many men who sided with the republican party in the past will not do so this year. Is means something when men like Judge Morgan J. O'Brien and Delan- ey Nlcoll, who opposed Bryan in the past, are now going to vote for him."
 Will Mir Bryan at the head of the national ticket be a help to the state democratic ticket instea of a drag as in the past?" was asked.
 Yes, I think his name will be of material assistance this year. We indorse the icket and platform heartily and shall go right to work for it."
 MT Murphy said he had no candi- date for governor and that 1t would be an open fight.

Cons able Ayers party reach ed the barn at whics suspect had been seen and went in with arms and pitchforks and made what they thought was thorough seai.h even to forking the hay in the BOWS.

THE FIRE DRILL.
Chief Snagg Had Men Scaling the
 Ladders To-Day.

Chief Snagg with the members of the board of safety put the candi- dates for the fire department through drill at city hall this afternoon. Scaling the big aerial truck was the principal tryout and the ladder climbing attracted many hundred people. Promptly at o'clock the trial began. The big double ladder was sent up to the top of city hall and the men, as Chief Snagg called out their names, took their turn at ascending. The first to go up was ex-Fireman William 0'Donnell, who of late has been working on the trol- ley cars. Following him was another ex-member, Thomas Melton, who was formerly in No 1. Charles Booth, another ex-member, who was formerly in No and later transferred to No 3, shortly after which he resigned, is candidate
 Booth showed that he was familiar with ladder climbing. It was evil dent that some of the candidates were not accustomed to go up any kind of ladder, and their efforts were very amusing to the crowd. The candidates seemed to have more confidence coming down than going up. By these drills the board and the chief expect to find who and who are not fit for the department. There were rumors around that the six new firemen have already been picked, but there are always such stories in the air. Some of the men did not want to make the trial this after noon, but they knew if they did not they would have no chance of get ting in the department. About thir- ty candidates appeared for the drill.

Control of Corporations.

Editor The Washington Herald;
In view Of the interest aroused by the
remarks OF President Roosevelt In the
recent conference OF governors, respect
ing the control by the government Of cor
poratiOns doing an interstate business
without encroachment upon the reserved
rights of the several States how would
1t do to empower the Interstate Com
merce Commission to grant charters OF
incorporation 10 them, and creating a
board Of directors composed partly Of
the governors OF the States through which
they operate. with certain amount OF
the stock apportioned 20 the States? The
State of Virginia owns stock in the Rich
mOnd. Fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road. and is represented by the COVER
nor OF the state, and the matter seems
to work satisfactorily to the people
Perhaps the system might be applied TO
the national view of the case as sug-
gested herein. The present dual control
seems impracticable. and is liable 20 pro-
duce conflict between the States and the
Federal government. The recent opin-
ions OF the Supreme Court certainly seem
to bear out the idea Of the incompatibnity
OF a dual system OF regulation Of rail-
road rates. II, W. STAMPER

60 BE No Reason why Prices Should
Not Hold Up IndennIteIy-Trade
Are Holding Up Their End.

New York, May M-The varying fiuc-
tuations OF prices in the stock market
last week were such as to confirm and
emphasize the character Of the market
as already diagnosed by the leading bank
ers, the greater number OF professional
observers, and by the public generally.
II was a two-man market, deriving its
support almost entirely from the opera
tions OF two great speculative capitalists,
and as such. of course. it was artificial
and manipulated In the extreme. When
ever during the week there was a cessa-
ton OF buying orders from the twin
sources named. transactions in the mar
ket sank from a rate OF a million shares
or more day to an hourly volume that
was on a scale OF sometimes less than a
third Of the former quantity: while the
bulk of the buying and selling that was
done came from two Wall street commits
sion houses
OF course. the market was not wholly
made up OF the merely manipulative
transactions referred to. The large room
trading operators were as skepticaI
OF the stability OF values as anybody
yet as a rule followed In the trail OF the
huge buying orders that were sent In,
closing out their commitments, however,
