ASHAMED or TAKING WHAT
He NEEDED.

New York, Oct "A new phase
of the discussion of the so-called
Standard Oil correspondence made
public recently by William r. Hearst,
was entered upon late yesterday when
John d. Archbold, vice president of
the Standard Gil company, made
statement to The Associated Press,
setting forth the details Of the al
legged theft of correspondence from
his files. Former United States Sen.
ator John Lowndes MeLaurln of
South Carolina also entered the field
with signed statement declaring
his attitude in the matter Of the cor.
respondence between himself and
Archbold
Archbold says that three years ago
It was reported that certain Of his
letters. ayowedly stolen. had been of.
fered for sale to newspapers. These
letters could have been taken only by
some highly trusted person The one
susp' ted sloutly denied his guilt,
but later a go-between offered to re.
tu.n some Of the letters for a consd.
GRAFTON II was said by this person
that his brother had induced a
trusted employe already suspected to
steal them, and that some had been
sold 10 a representative of Hearst's
papers Copy books we're also stolen,
according TO Archbold, some pages re-
moved and others photographed
Some Of the correspondence was re.
turned at that time, other letters
have been produced by Hearst

Senator McLaurin says he has no
apologies to make for his correspond
ence with Arehbold He says he was
then engaged in bitter struggle
which involved his own political fu-
ture and the principles for which he
stood and he saw no improperly in
"enlisting the assistance Of the most
progressively administered, and most

human intelligence has yet produced. -

stuffna is Not Good.

Don oyerfeed consumptives, said
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale uniyer-
sity in paper in which he quoted sta
tistics based on returns from santato
ria. Professor Fisher said that many
sanatoria all over the world are begin
ming to see that "stuffng' the patient IL
not good for him. This Is a reaction
against the extreme over feeding.
which has fattened consumptives like
Strasburg geese-and perhaps had
the same effect on their liyers H. has
made them look strong but feel weak.
The reason 50 many sanatoria and
physicians are beginning TO realize
this fact Is due, according to Profes-
sor Fisher, 70 the influence Of Pro
fegsor Chittenden. OF Yale, az well as
to Metchnikoff in Paris, and many
others, who have been writing about
the dangers Of eating toe much meat
and eggs, or other Ugh protein
fo6ds. Professor Fish does not ad-
yocate a strict vegeta ran diet but
believes that when me is eaten, tt
should be eaten mode ely In his
experiments at Yale + ofessOr Fisher
has shown that those who eat little or
no meat have more physical and men
tai endurance than the lovers Of beef
steak or chops three times a day.
