PREFERENTIAL RATE
rBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.--An admission
that the Standard Oil company bene-
flied by a preferential freight rate
lower than that quoted to any other
shipper was drawn from witness to-
day at the hearing in the government
suit to dissolve the company.
George b. Ferguson, a clerk in the
freight department of the Central Yer
mont railroad, testified that a special
rate had been issued to the Standard
Oil company.
Pressed as to what other shippers
had benefited by this special tariff,
the witness said that as far as he
knew the rate applied only to the
Standard.
The extent of the preference accord
ed to the Standard by the Central YER
mont was shown in two letters quot
ing freight rates per carload In one
instance the rate was given as 1913 per
carload, while in the other case the
rate quoted was $23. The witness adj
mitted that the $2S rate was the one
under which the Central Vermont car
ried the Standards shipments.

SAYS ENGLISH UNEMPLOYED
BEAT AMERICANS DRINKING

LONDON, Oct. 29.-John Burns, la
Dor leader and president of the local
government board, drew down upon his
head the anathemas of the laborites in
the house of commons this afternoon
when he intimated that the main dis
advantages under which the British
unemployed Iabored as compared to the
unemployed in America was that the
Britons drank more than their trans
atlantic confreres.
Mr.. Burns repudiated the suggestion
that the difference lay in the fact that
the American unemployed had money
In their pockets.
81 have been in America three times"
he said, "and the only difference I saw
between the unemployed in America
and those of this country was that the
former, for short time after losing
work, were better dressed. Many of
them don't drink so much as do many
British unemployed workmen, but the
workmen of this country have an adj
vantage in the number of days they
are idle"
Loud cries of "It is untrue" 1T is a
shameful comparison greeted MIR.
Burns statement.

Jersey, secretary of the national Re-
publican congressional committee, who
has been in charge of the headquarters
at New York for the committee, gave
out today his estimate of tho COM
plexion of the national house of rep
resentatives in the sixty-iirst congress;
From the several thousand letters
received" said Mr.. Loudenslager, land
from personal interviews with politi-
clans and other observers from all sec
tons of the country, / am convinced
that a conservative estimate of the
political complexion of the next house
is that it will show 227 Republicans
and 164 Democrats.
81 am confident the election returns
will give an increase in the number
of Republicans rather than decrease"
Hitchcock to Forecast
Chairman Hitchcock of the national
Republican committee, said late today
that he probably would give out his
forecast of the electoral vote tomor-
row afternoon.
He said the statement would include
the doubtful as well as the certain
states for both parties.
Mr. Hitchcock is still of the opinion
that Nevada will be very close, but he
is quite confident Of Montana.
Information from leaders in Ken
lucky and Tennessee is to the effect
that the Republican candidate has
more than a lighting chance there.
While he feels sure about Maryland,
he believes the fight win be close.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that Mr.. Taft
was feeling unusually happy last night
over the result of the meetings which
he had addressed here yesterday, and
particularly the great one in Madison
Square garden.
FOL CT ms n a
at Republican national headquarters
today:
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,:
New England will give it's entire
electoral vote for Taft, Massachusetts
will give aobut the same plurality it
gave to Mckinley, $4,000. 1 have been

fident that not only Judge Taft but
Governor Hughes will receive large
majorities in this state"

ing between that received by Roose-
welt in 1904 and Mckinley in 1900.
Governor Hughes will receive larger

Former Governor Murphy of New
Jersey: 1T is a question of majority
only for Taft and Sherman in New

Congressman Hawley of Oregon:
Taft will carry every state west of
the Mississippi, with the possible eX-
ceptien of Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas

Chairman Woodruff of the New York
state Republican COMMITTEES: From
the canvass made up state 1 predict

steps would be taken by the supervise
ors by which the taxpayers would lose
any of the benefits of a fair and open
sale on the public market. No idea that
any steps In reference to the bonds

TO me, or to those whom l undertook
to enlist in securing the carrying OF
the election for these bonds. The add
Visory committee made no suggestions
in reference to the advertisement or
sale of these bonds. because they had

of the sale of bonds had been hereto-
fore taken, and they had no suggestion

Bonds Worth $4,000 More
Mr.. Butler considers the bonds worth

come here tonight, especially because
I am permitted to advocate for little
time the cause of one who has ideals,
lofty character and ideal patriotism
the Democratic standard bearer for the
presidency"
when he concluded this tribute to Mr.
Bryan.
In his principal remarks Mr.. Bryan
called attention to the fact that the
campaign was drawing to close ana
that the Republicans were resorting 10
threats of a panic in case he should
be elected. He referred to the presence
in the city of Mr.. Taft and expressed
wonder that Mr.. Taft had not been
able to stave off the panic of 1907
when he was in Mr.. Roosevelt's cab
met.
Mr.. Bryan caused a storm of applause
when, in discussing the guarantee or
bank deposits as advocated in the Dem
yer platform, he quoted, in reputation
of Mr.. Tafts statement that the guar
antee of deposits would weaken the ma
tional banking system, an excerpt from
a United States consular report, as
follows:
German Thrift
"The we'll known thrift of t.-o Ger
man people has it's foundation on facts
The savings banks OF Germany nave
some $4,000, 900 passbooks out and their
amount of deposits is l3OOO,0OO.
''These deposits are practically all
guaranteed by the various municipali-
ties of the empire, and the condition
forms a bulwark of confidence in the
security of private wealth and earn
ings that cannot be shaken by hard
times panics, bank failures, etc"
Here is a fact" said Mr.. Bryan,
(which 1 present in answer to Mr.
Tafts opinion. The German people
cannot be accused of carelessness in
their banking business any more than
they can in other business"
A feature of the meeting was the
fact that it was presided over by
Thomas w. Meacham, president of the
Syracuse chamber of commerce.

EASY TO CURE CATARRH

JUST BREATHE IN HYoMEI, THE DRY
AIR THAT KILLS THE GERMS.
You can do exactly what G. j. Stsrers
did by using Hyomei. Read this:
after having suffered from chronic
catarrh for years, for which / tried va
rious remedies without success, l be-
came almost discouraged. After read
ing about Hyomei, I decided to make
one more effort to rid myself OF the
dread disease, and to my great delight
I found the use Of two bottles OF the
Inhalent sufficient to produce q complete
cure. I now take pleasure In recon-
mending this remedy to all sufferers
from catarrh. "-G. j. Sterers, Crown
City, Ohio.
We don't simply say Hyomei will cure
catarrh, but we say that F. A. Shurtieff
& Co., the druggists, guarantee 1t to cure
catarrh, or money back. They do more
they guarantee 1t to cure asthma,
bronchitis, hay fever, coughs and colds.
A complete Hyomei outfit, including in
haler, costs only sl.O9, and extra bottles,
| If you afterwards need one, will cost but
80 cents. Hyomei Is pleasant dry air
treatment. You just breathe 1t In, and
As It passes over the inhamed membrane,
1t kills the germs Of catarrh, and allsys
all Inflammation.
