l., II. Cooper, who is explaining his
theory and medicine to the pubic, is
meeting moro people each day ana
seems to be attracting as much atteh-
ton here as was reported from othef
cities before he arrived in New YORK.
Cooper's theory Is that modern all
,nents are largely due to stomach trou,
Bile. He claims his preparatloi VIZ VIZ
regulate the digestive organs in SIN
weeks. In explaining his theory, when
interviewed Wednesday afternoon, ne
said: about three out OF Ave people
who come to ask about my mediclns
saw. my nerves are all unstrung, or l
am very nervous or. I am on the
verge Of nervous prostration. All thls
nervous trouble Is due to just one thliis
imperfect digestion.
did you ever hear of q farmer with
neryoug prostration? I never did. Tho
farmer gets up carly. Out he goes into

lie has worked his body 80 hard that
his stomach is Just shouting for food,
and YOU can bet it gets it. The amount
OF corned beef cabbage, potatoes,
bread, pie, milk, etc. that he puts away
IS a sight to see. Back he goes to tbs
fields. More hard work in the fresh
air and sunshine. Home at night with
the same enormous appetite. A big
supper. and then he sleeps as though
chloroforned No restless tossing all
night Any nervous prostitution for
him? Well, guess not. He doesn't
feel dull and languid all day. he
doesn't have a coated tongue and bad
taste in his mouth. He's living the
life that nature intended him to live,
and his digestion is perfect That's The

INTERESTING TESTIMONY
ON PULLMAN CAR TIPS.
Chicago. Dec. 17-Thn upper berth

Chicago, Dec. 17--The upper berth
in Il Pullman was further disparaged
today. when two women took the wit
ness stand before Interstat Commerce
Commissioner Lane, who is consider
ing q plea that an upper berth should
cost only half of the price charged
for Il lower. The witness also AFT
firmed that it is terrible to tip the
porter. said tipping being necessary
ito get any kind of SERVICE"
Mrs. Anna i. McNulty ana Mrs. A.
L. Voreweik, whose business calls for
constant travelling, were the witnesses.
They would never take an upper berth
unless compelled to do SO by force of
circumstances, both agreeing that
there is a deal of trouble in getting
in and out of one, and that the ven-
tilation is bad.
In travelling in Pullman cars do you
find 1t necessary to tip the porters?''
asked Atty. Hanallan.
1T is if one expects to get any ser
vice at ALL answered Mrs McNulty.
How do you know?"
"Qn several occasions did not have
any change and when ! failed 10 tip
the porter ! was obliged to carry my
own luggare''
How do you know about the service
when YOU do not tip the porter until
the end of the trip
i have learned BY experience that.
the porter is impertinent and will not
give you the service you are entitled
TO unless you tip him, On long trips
! always give a tip at the beginning,
as well as at the end of the trip:
Asked for an instance Of discrimina-
ton against one who had neglected to
fee the porter, Mrs. McNulty related
the following:
Last September, when was coming
from San Francisco. to Chicago, stop
ped off in Denver and the porter help
me with my luggaee. A lady with n
small baby in the next section called
several times for the porter. and /
told him to leave my luggage and see
what the woman wanted. He smiled
and said there was no money in 1t, and
he paid no attention to her. I sup
pose she was unaccustomed to travel
ing and did not know how essential
it is to tip the porter"
Commissioner Lane took the case.
which specifically applies to rates be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul under ad-
visement, and left for Washington to-
night
Two other cases. involving the rates
between Duluth and st. Paul. and St.
Paul and Seattle, will be heard later.

HOUSE ANXIOUS
FOR EV|DENCE:
Special Committee Wants Reso-
luton Adopted Asking Presi-
dent to Give Information
REGARDING SECRET SERVICE
Members Resent Language Used by
Him in Annual Message iii Re-
fcrring TO congressman.

Washington, Dec. l7.-Chairanan
Perkins of the house special committee
appointed to recommend u course OF
action relative to the suggestion Of the
president in his annual message con-
corning the secret service, TO which
members of Congress have taken eX-
ception, presented u report of thur
committee at the beginning of tuday''s
session OF the house.
Tho report recommends the adoption
nj q resolution calling upon the presi-
dent to supply the house with the
evidence upon which he based his
statement that the members of the
house were principally concerned over
the fact that the secret service men
had been investigating members Them
selves.
The house adopted the Perkins reso-
luton in regard to the president and
tic secret service without q dissenting
vote and after very little comment. Mr..
Cochran, New York suggested that it
should be made applicable to Congress-
MS a whole and not merely to the
house, but the charge was not made.
In the preamble to the resolution it
is declared that the plain meaning OF
the presidents words in that the
majority Of the congressman were in
tear OF Delng investigated ny secret
service men and that Congress as q
Whole was actuatad by that motive in
cnacting the provision in question:
The preamble follows:
PREAMBLE
Whereas, There was contained in
the sundry civil bill which passed Con
ercss at It's last session and became
law, Il provision in reference TO the
annployment of the secret service of
the treasury department.; and,
"Whereas, In the last annual mes
sage OF the president OF the United
States to the two houses of Congress.
it was stated with reference to that
provision: 1T is not too much TO say
that this amendment has been of ben
eft only and could be of benefit only

another report for the consideration of,
the house.
Representative John Sharp Williams
expressed the hope that the resolution
would be adopted promptly. and prac-
tically without debate.
Mr.. Williams said the committee
WOULD impartially report upon this
seemingly unprovoked and unjustilled
attack upon the honesty and reputa-
ton of the Legislative brauche of the
government
SO far as the committee knows
said Mr.. Williams. there is not a
scintilla of evidence to support that
statement by the president. The COM
lnittee has thought 1t would be fair
10 the president TO give him further
opportunity to produce testimony II he
has any. The American people have
Il right to know il the American Con-
gress be corrupt"
Such a procedure, he continued,
would allow the country which he
said. was the master OF both of us"
tc: exercise Judgment in the matter.
The special committee, he said,
would remain i'll session ready to re-
ceipe. to consider and to weigh what
soeNer competent evidence the presi-
dent can furnish with u. rcsolute JUS
tice and impartiality:'
Mr.. Perkins said the committee was
actuated by a desire TO be entirely
just to the president.
Mr.. keifcr of Ohio wanted to know
whether the words .if not Incompatible
with the public service" should not
be in the resolution as usual in calling
upon the president for information
This suggestion called forth laughter
and MIR. Perkins declared that the
resolution as worded was "a request
for information and was imperative
in its wording.
Mr.. Perkins cut off further discus
sion by demanding the previous qucs-
ton and Speaker Cannon calling for

With the change in the management
of the old Robinson House at Bucks
port the house comes into prominence
again and there is no other in all the
State which is more widely known.
1t stands almost in the same condi-
ton and State as it did long years
ago, one of the famous old time
houses well known as the "Old Jed
Prouty Tavern" where the scene of
that play "Old Jed Prouty'' was laid
and which was made known on the
stage of the continent by the veteran
actor, Richard Golden.
This famous old hosiery was built
in 1904, by Asa Peabody who was
well-known in Bucksport in those days
and while it's early days are somewhat
in -obscurity, it has withstood the
storms and changes of time and today
is much in the same condition as then.
In the year 1920 the house was pur-
chased by a man named SparhaWK
who made some changes in the
original style, changing the fiat roof to
one of modern styles and giving more
room in the chambers. Landlord
Sparhawk managed the house for
some six years when he sold out to
Colonel Lake who became the
manager and continued until 1882,
when he sold to the former manager,
Mr.. Sparhawk.
Mr. Sparhawk was in falling health
and the house was considered large
tavern" in those days and he soon sold
to a party named Samuel Fitzpatrick.
who failed to make the house sue
cess and it was soon after sold, various
parties occupying it. until it finally fell
into the hands Of David Buck, of the
family for whom Bucksport was
named. aA

and continued to conduct the house
until well into the fifties when he sold
out his interest to Daniel Robinson,
then conducting the stable in the rear
of the house, who on purchasing the
house remodelled it and /. added.
