New Haven, Conn, April 1T.-Ine at- tention of President c. s, Meilen ot inc New York. New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad Company. was called To- day to the statement of A. O. Crozier of Wilmington. Del, made yesterday before the House Committee on Bank ing and Currency at Washington.
 MT. Crozier stated that prominent fnancier had told President Mellen that a panic was to be brought on be- fore the meeting of Congress. and on that Information. Mir Crozier said the railroad borrowed $S00O0.0o0 ..
 This statement. Mir. Mellen today. in the strongest language. denounced as absurd and unqualfiedly false. He added that the plans of his company for borrowing money had been mace for wear or more before the panic, and that the original plan had provided for an issue of stock. This had been changed owing to later panic condl. tions to a loan at par Of per cent debentures. At the time the loan was nlanned and for considerable time subseouentIy. neither he, nor' In ms oninion. any prominent hnancier or inc country anticipated the panic con ditions and the unfavorable condition for railroad loans, which subsequently, insued.

LAUNDRY TRUST is
:. NOT POSSIBLE SAYS JUDGE

ST LOUIS, MO, July 20.-(Spe-
ciaD While the washwoman can be
had for hire and home talent con-
tinues to exercise at the wash tub a
combination of steam laundry compa-
MES cannot be considered a trust. No,
there is no such combination in the
industry of cleansing soiled linen to
permit an argument among the steam
washers to be classed as "a combina-
ton in restraint of trade" even if a
schedule of prices for work is
adopted.
Such is the ruling of Circuit Judge
Reynolds in a decision handed down
today in the injunction proceedings
recently instituted by Circuit Attorney
Sager against the Monarch Laundry
Company and two dozen other laun-
dry companies to restrain them from
forming an alleged Illegal combina-
ton The court holds that the laun-
dries may go as far as they like in eff
fecting a combination.
Judge Reynolds says that steam
laundrying" is only a method of
washing, and, as there are other
methods, the steam laundry compa-
MES are not effecting combination
in restraints of trade by agreeing up
on a schedule of prices. He holds
that the courts of Missouri have no
right to interfere with such an alleg-
ed laundry combination, and he sus-
tanned a motion to quash, the injunc-
ton offered by the defendants coun-
sci in response to the petition of the
circuit attorney.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ase and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
tratment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. j. Cheney e Co., Tole-
do, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure Send

BRYAN FIGHT is
FOR MIDDLE WEST
Alignment of States Figured
by the Experts.

Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-(SpeciaD =
New York is the only state east of
the Appalachian Mountains consider
ed doubtful by Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic leaders. Mr.. Bryan has
not said so for publication, but the
programme of campaign which he
will submit in person to the sub
committee of eleven in Chicago this
week will mark the middle West
and the Pacific coast as the prescrib-
ed fields for the third battle
Even at that, it is believed that
New York is to be turned over to
Tammany and the New York organi-
cation to be landed in the Democra-
tic column in November, while ev-
cry available bit of strength and
political STACEY from the Democra-
tic forces will be hurled into the
Mississippi River Valley, and Mr..
Bryan surely anticipates an over
turning of the Republican majorities
There was a big conference of
national committeeman of acknoW-
lodged political astuteness coming
over on the special train from Den
yer to Lincoln.
The result of that conference,
which it was understood was sub
mitted to Mr.. Bryan and was found
to coincide with his views, demon
strated to the Democratic leader a
strong chance for success. These
leaders claimed the solid South for
Democracy, added Oklahoma's seven
new electoral votes; the fifteen
from Indiana and three from Nevada,
and agreed that Bryan and Kern
cannot receive fewer than 1874
November elections.
They set down as certain for Taft,
every Eastern State except New
York. New England was conceded
in solid block, and to this showing
they gave away Michigan and Mime
sofa from the central West, dropped
Utah, Wyoming and Idaho into the
Republican basket, and waived Ore
gon and Washington for good meas
ure
Here is what they marked out for
the bitter campaign of the next
three months; California, Colorado,
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Neb-
raska North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Wisconsin. Ohio is a doubtful
state from the Democratic point
of view.
The following table, compiled by
three representative national COM
mitteemen, is accepted as the frame
work upon which the Democratic
campaign will be woven, showing the
number of electoral votes claimed,
conceded and doubtful

Tests of both heavier than-air ma

Their Importance, however, will cen

purposes, but the request was not

the results will convince Congress of
the necessity for funds to carry on
experiments.

SENT AUTOMOBILE
BY POST, DID AMERICAN

London, July 20-Sending an au-
tomobile by post sounds as reason
able as sending an elephant by wire
less. Nevertheless that is just what
Vaudeville Hall has done.
Mr.. Hall is a New Yorker, who in
his college days was a prominent
athlete. While touring in Europe
he decided to come to the Olympic
games. He went from Switzerland tc
Paris by rail and started in an au-
tomobile for Calasis
AS his driver was unacquainteC
with the country, he arrived ir
Boulogne instead of Calasis. On tt
Calasis he went, however, out the de.
lay caused him to miss the boat. The
next one left at l o'clock, a. m.
but there were no dock hands te
put the automobile aboard. To his
dismay he found that the next boa
carried neither freight nor baggage.
"Pll just take the l o'clock boat
and send the machine over by mail,
said Mr. Hall and he did.
1t was duly weighed and stamped
and delivered to him safely by the
postal authorities at Dover. His
luggage came over by parcel post.

that compressed air has nothing to
do with the discharge of the bullets.
The mechanism, he explained, is
simple-so simple, in fact, that any
one with bent for machinery would
understand it if once permitted to
examine the gun.
Power for a horsepower electric
motor supplied the propelling force
which discharged the bullets.
No sound except the whirl of the
wheel came from the gun Enclosure
when the power was turned on. Mr..
Bangerter did not enter the little
room housing the weapon for once
the power is turned on it is not
necessary that any one should be
near the gun.
Into the hopper he poured the bull
let's. and from the hidden muzzle of
the gun came the steel billets. There
was no explosion, no smoke, and no
click of shells being forced empty
from the magazine The only sound
that came from the gun was the
dropping of the bullets into the fun
mel
For ten seconds the bullets were
fed into the gun. The spectators,
crouching behind wooden partition
that had been erected to protect them
from rebounding shots, saw the tar
get, which was about 10 feet square
and so feet away, riddled with holes
within a second after the rain of
steel began to rattle on the half-inch
pine boards The bullets were three
eighths of an inch in diameter.
Unless the power broke down it
would be impossible for the enemy
to capture one of these guns, which
are so simple that they can be mount
ed on a swivel and swung to any
point of the compass. Two men, one
operating the engine supplying the
power and the other directing the
gun, could stand off 100000 men, it
is claimed.

RAPID FIRE GUN
is POWDERLESS
Sends Rain of Steel With
Accuracy.

New York, July 20.-Without any
sound except the patter of bullets as
they made holes through targets con
structed of pine boards, 100 shots a
second were discharged yesterday
morning from a noiseless and pow
derless gun in the loft Of the Stand
ard Meter Company's factory, Flat
bush.
No one was permitted to inspect
the gun, which was completely hid
den by wooden Enclosure construct
ed around it in a corner of the loft
Not even the muzzle of the weapon
could be seen. Through a hole in
the easement ran a funnel-shaped hop
per, into which Mr.. Bangerter dump
ed the steel bullets.
Before the demonstration began
Mr.. Bangerter, the inventor, explain
ed that his invention does not re-
quire explosives of any kind, and
