RevOlves Around an Invention
Said to Be Valued at More
Than $5,OOO,00O.
PUBLIC RECORDS DESTROYED
Three Men Are Arrested on Charge Of
Conspiracy to Defraud the
Government.

Washington, Feb. 29.-Three arrests
yesterday brought to light scan
dal in the patent Office, which has
been under investigation since early
in February and which revolves
around an invention valued at more
than 100000. The parties arrested
are Ned w. Barton, third assistant ex-
aminer Of the patent Office; Henry W..
Everding, patent attorney of Phila-
delphia. and John A. Heany. an inven-
tor of York, Pa. They had been in
dicted by the United States grand
Jury for conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent and for destroying public rec
ords.
outrivaIed Big Concerns.
The indictment charges that the
three men, with an intent to steal
and Destroy" carried away from the
patent Office certain letters, specifica-
tons and amendments relating to pat
ents and unlawfully and willfully de-
stroyed them. The investigation was
made upon information that as a re.
suit of conspiracy John A. Heany had
been given patent on an invention
for manufacturing filaments and cleo
trodes for electric incandescent lamps.
The facts disclosed by the investi-
cation were of such a character that
they were presented to the grand jury.
It is alleged that through connivance
with Ned w. Barton, Heany and Bar
ton outrivaled more than twenty Of
the largest electrical concerns in the
country, striving to get the same pat
emit.
Destroyed Records.
All of these concerns had filed ap-
plications for patent, but from time
to time Barton, it is charged, would
see the specifications and employ
whatever he desired for perfecting
Heany's invention. To be successful
in this plan it was necessary to de-
stroy certain records and file substi-
tutes therefor.
Justice Stafford fixed bail for the de-
PENDANTS at $4,000. Late last night
they were still making efforts to pro-
cure bondsmen. All of them said that
they preferred not to make any state
ment other than the fact that their
innocence of the charges would be
proved.

High Temperature for Lace Dressing.

High Temperature for Lace Dressing.
Lace dressing has been considered
a necessarily unhealthful occupation
on account of the intense heat re-
quired to be maintained in the room
In some cases the temperature exceeds
100 degrees Fahrenheit and much
moisture Is evaporated from the wet
fabric. The evidence brought forth
at recent investigation In England,
however, shows it to be an exceed
ingly healthful pursuit.
New Workers. are often temporarily
upset at the beginning by the high
temperature, but no cases could Ne
found where health hal broken down.
On the contrary, some ailments
colds. for instance-were found less
prevalent among lace dressers than
among the workers In other branches
OF the industry. eNeepers' books
showed few absences from illness.

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic catarrh

THE disease now known as grip
! used to be called Influenza
livery closely resembles cold, but is
more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When it once begins it spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches it from the
atmosphere.
"M0st Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe"
Robt. l.. Madison, A. NJ, Principal of
Cullowhee High School, Painter, N. c.,
is chairman Of the Jackson County
Board of Education.
He is writer of occasional verse and
has contributed to number of leading
papers and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
81 am hardly ever, without Peruna in
my home. 1t is the most effective medi-
cine that have ever tried for Ia grippe.
ait also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition ut one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
"In consequence, an infiamed condi-
ton of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
to no remedy until Peruna was tried"
Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous men,
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, if there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing to do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.
Systemic catarrtl, the Result Of La
Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie w. Gilmore, Box A,
White Oak, Ind. Ter, formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys, writes:
"Six years ago had Ia grippe, which
was followed by systemic catarrh.
s'The only thing used was Peruna
and Manalin, and I have been in better
health the last three years than fol-
years before.
81 give Peruna al the credit for my
good health"

Blocking Steal.
Washington, March /. - In connec-
ton with the report to the house yes.
terday of the postofice appropriation
bill by the committee on postoffices
there were interesting disclosures re-
garding the most remarkable contest
that has taken place in committee
of congress during the present session
over the details of legislation.
The controversy was over a PROPOSE.
tom for changing the weighing period
of mails carried on railroads, the effect
of which change would be materially
to increase the compensation of the
railroads for mail carriage. The cir
cumstances under which the matter
was submitted to the committee and
the test vote, showing tie, which was
broken by one member changing his
vote, were attended by what was said
to be almost riotous demonstrations
by the members who favored or op-
posed the change in legislation.
By vote of 10 to 8 the proposition
was defeated.
Inc representatives on the post0Mce
committee from the Northwest lined
up against the proposed increased pay
to the railroads and vigorously COM
bated the introduction Of the item
making the change. Representatives
Stevenson of Minnesota and Stafford
Of Wisconsin were active and aggres-
sive in preventing the increase.
It is estimated that IL the item had
been carried into the bill and agreed
to by both houses 1t would have in
creased the compensation for railway
mail carriage approximately $4,000, 900.

Italians in Six Cities Were Con-
nected With the Killing Of
Father Leo.
SIX SUSPECTS ARE CAPTURED
Letter to Son Written by Denver Priests
Assassin Contains Clue
to Conspiracy.

Denver, March l. - Chief of Police
Michael Delaney said yesterday that
letter written by Giuseppe Alto TO his
son, which was found in the cell Occur
pied by Alto while in Jail at Colorado
Springs, contained proof that men in
, six cities in the United States were
connected with him in the killing of
Father Leo Heinrichs.
Almost at the moment that he made
this statement came news that six ar
rests had been made in Eastern cities
Of men suspected of being accomplices
of the murderer.
Six Arrests Made.
]. Vanni was arrested in New York
yesterday, charged with being the
chief of the society, while in Pittsburg
Orestos Sodi, Tomasso Calabreso,
Orestos Malavui and Malio Tolmei
were locked up for being implicated
as members of the society. The po-
lice of New York and Pittsburg say
they have evidence which connects
these mon with the killing Of Father
Leo.
Arrests have been made In four cit
les, but because the police of these
cities are shadowing other men, no in
formation is given out as to who the
arrested men are.
Plot Hatched Elsewhere.
Chief Delaney said that he was not
sure whether Alto was merely tool
of the anti-clerical society, to which
he said all these men belonged, or
wether he was ringleader.
Altos letter to his son was found
concealed in the blankets OF the cot
in the Colorado Springs Jail. It's con-
tents translated, 1t is asserted, indicate
that Father Leo was the victim OF a
plot Matched outside of Denver, and
that Alto came here to commit the
murder, which was to be the signal
for Others
All Is Not Yet Told.
Until all the arrests have been made
which the police contemplate Chief
Delaney said he would not give out all
the particulars in the case.
That insanity will be the plea offer
ed in defense of Alto was the positive
statement of Baron G. Tosti. Italian
consul who, in comany with Former
Consul Core and Attorney Widdi-
combe, visited the prisoner in the Jail
yesterday.
