PROFITABLE CHIN WAoGING

The other day Bryan deposited some campaign oratory in phonograph and for this bit of chin wagging received 5000 from the record makers. These records will be sold ill all parts of the union and it will not be long ere the phonograph company gets back the 5000. And it will get much in addition. Pay ing a youngster to play game Of ball would be an analogy. These records constitute valuable democratic cam paign asset. Though the medium oi the photograph Bryan will talk to many people he could not otherwise reach. He will be benefited. And he was paid fo1 furthering his own cause although the record makers will, as we say, more than '.get hunk" In the end the deal public provides the 5000.

That being the case, Bryan might as we'll quit now be- fore he has squandered any more cash and energy.

 A correspondent of a New Haven paper gives the following as an effective method of preventing the ravages of the elm tree beetle: "In winter after the sap has left the trees, bore holes about two feet apart in a circle around each tree. Have the holes one and one-half inches in diameter and three to four inches deep. Fill the holes with pow dered sulphur and plug the end with a piece of wood or cement. In the spring time the sap running up carries the sul- phur to every leaf and one bite of the beetle will be the first and only one he will take. I tried this on four elm trees

Government Produces Strong Evidence
In Suit for Annulment of Oil Com
pany's Charter.

Washington, Jan. 24.-In laying the
foundation of it's case against the
Standard Oil Company in the suit for
annualment of the company's charter,
the government continued today the
examination of E. Dana Durand, depu-
ty commissioner of corporations, be-
fore the stated examiner, Judge Frank
lin Ferris The contention of govern
ment's counsel, Frank B. Kellogg, was
that the railroads gave the Standard
a rebate, or special rate, which made
the rate paid by the Standard no more
than SA per hundred pounds and, in
some instances not more than 6. Du-
rand testified, in the course of the
Identification of certain official tariffs
of the Chicago and Eastern illinois
railroad, that while shipments of oil
were waybilled at II cents per hun
dred, part Of the shipments were car
ried at SA cents per hundred and the
balance at 6. He explained that the
collection vouchers of the railroad,
which he exhibited. showed that
amount actually paid by the Standard
for such shipments as he referred to,
was less than the rate fixed in the

Traffic Tied Up in New York
and Suffering Ensues Among
Unemployed
STORM COVERS MANY STATES
Half Foot Falls in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey. Delaware and Portion Of
New England = One Man rrozen to
Death in Heart of New York City
Severe OF the Coast.

New York. Jan. 24.-A snow storm
developed into blizzard during the
night Today the city streets are piled
deep in places with drifts. Street car
traffic and the movement of Terry
boats and other harbor and river craft
are badly hampered.
Coming suddenly upon the heels of
long period of unusually warm wealth
er. the storm caught the unemployed,
homeless and poorer people, on the east
side totally unprepared. Many who
have in warmer weather found shelter
in wagons yarded for the night were
homeless to city lodging houses and
charitable institutions to beg for shell
ter.
For the first time this winter the
city lodging houses were overcroWded
and the covered pier of the charities
department at the foot of East TWen-
ty-sixth street, was turned into an
emergency lodging house. Many appli-
cations for shelter were received at the
various police stations.
The work of removing the snow was
begun early and many hundreds OF
men who were in sad need of employ
ment were given work clearing the
streets. The body of man named Jas.
Smith was found under a stoop in East
Twenty third street. He had crept un-
der the stoop to seek protection from
the storm and had frozen to death.
Traffic conditions improved very
slowly If at all in the city and it's sub
urbs during the forenoon. Marine OBJ
servers report the storm to be particu-
larly severe off the coast.

Portland, Me, Jan. 24.-The Pofts
land city hall, containing municipal
and county offices and departments Of
the police, the building in which were
the supreme, judicial and municipal
courts, was completely ruined by fire
early today, which endangered many
lives and destroyed valuable records
dating back over century. The mon
etary loss is estimated at $1,000,000,
but this sum will not cover the loss of
the registry of deeds. There every
thing was lost.
That there were no fatalities is re-
markable, as there were more than 700
persons attending the western Maine
knights of Pythias jubilee gathered lib
the auditorium when the flames were
discovered. Only few persons were
hurt, Chief Engineer Melville Eld-
ridge being the only one known to be
seriously injured. The fire was caused
by crossed wires.

yesterday afternoon in the presence OF
his wife and the attending nurses in
the Centerville public hospital. He had

suitcase as he wanted to write some
letters and for her to come back soon
after and mail his letters for him. He
opened the case and took out a revol-
yer, and before his wife could inter-
fere, or the nurses be called. he placed
the revolver to his head and fired, dy-s
ing shortly afterwards. He had at
tempted suicide twice before, once in
the office of local physician and once

cessfuI After Five Days.
Chicago, Jan. 24.--F'rank j. Constan-
tines life term in the Joliet peniten-
tiary for the murder of Mrs. A. w.
Gentry was a short one. His effort at
suicide last Saturday by jumping from
a balcony of his cellhouse to stone
corridor proved successful. He died at
o'clock last night.
The prisoner became unconscious
Wednesday afternoon, a blood clot on
the brain causing; paralysis of his en-
tire left side. He did not regain coil-
sciousness up to the time of his death.
At times he called for his mother but
his words were incoherent.
After his condition became serious
efforts were made to inform his mother
but no answers were received to te1e-'
grams sent to her in New York City.
At first there were hopes that Con-
stantine might regain consciousness
and make a statement concerning thel
murder Of Mrs. Gentry, but no such
opportunity was afforded. Plans will
not be made for the disposal Of his
body until after the inquest, which
was held this morning. Word is ex-
pected by that time from his relatives.
Constantine killed Mrs Gentry at 592
La Sale avenue on June 6, 1906 He
was sent to prison last September.

LAWYER Commences It on Tuesday and
Gets to the End on Thursday.
Baltimore, Jan. 24.-Long-distance
records for hypothetical questions Went
to smash before jury in the court OF
common pleas at noon yesterday, when
counsel for the relatives of the late
Clinton Schenckel, who are suing to
break his will, finished a question
which he started to put to witness
at 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The
trial has been going on since the pc
ginning of the January term, a week
ago last Monday. The court is in ses-
sion from 10 to g.
The witness to whom the question
vas put was DR.. Charles G. Hill, alien
ist, and was in regard to the mental
ability of the testator to make a proper
will.
At the conclusion DR.. Hill declared
1t his belief that man laboring under
conditions with which Mr.. Schenckel
was said to be surrounded could not
make a proper will.

pEs MONIES LOSES 1T.
Brick and Tile Men Take Convention
to Mason City.

Des Moines, Jan. 24.-Mason City
was selected as the next meeting place
by the twenty seventh annual con-
yention of the Iowa Brick & Tile asso-
citation, which ended here yesterday.
The convention was the most success
full the organization has ever held, the
attendance being nearly double what
it was a year ago at Sioux City ana
fifty more than were ever enrolled
heretofore.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President-C. j. Smith, of Mason
City.
Vice president-George Schnurr, OF
kalo.
Sacretary-C. B. Platt of Van Meter.
Treasurer. A. Stephenson of Ma
son City.
Messrs. Platt and Stephenson were
reelected. MIR. Fairchild of Sioux
CITY. was talked of for president, but
the office is usually given to the town
where the convention is to be held, SO
Mr.. Smith of Mason City was given
the honor.
Owing to the attendance at the Des
Moines convention of the organization
being so much larger than at meetings
held elsewhere, a decided sentiment
has been worked up to make this city
the permanent meeting place. II the
attendance at Mason City next year
does not equal, or nearly equal, the en-
rollment here it is possible that action
will be taken along this line. This Will
also mean that the association will pay
for most of the entertainment instead
of permitting the local men to defray
it,
Resolutions were adopted urging the
Iowa general assembly to make an APP
at the next session to es-
tablish a department of ceramics at
Iowa State College at Anes. The leg
islative committee will probably ap-
pear before the legislature in behalf
of the plan.

New York, Jan. 24.-An indication of
the important part that the nicl1els
and dimes of the public play in the
everyday life of the metropolis is the
leasing of the bootblacking privilege in
the new twin McAdoo terminal build
ings on Cortland street for twelve
years at rental aggregating s124000.
This is at the rate of s1O,333 year.
To handle the apparently insignificant
job of shining the shoes of the perma-
nent and transient population of the
immense building a corporation called
the Hudson Terminal BootbacFing
Company has been formed. The names
of the men who are putting up the
money have not been made public, but
they are capitalists who have figured
in deals involving millions.

HUGHES wlTHHoLDs COMMENT.
Has Nothing to Say Regarding TAFT
Letter Made Public Today.

Albany, ~ y. Jan. 24.-GoNernor
Hughes refused to comment tor pun
lication or privately upon the letter OF
Secretary Taft made public today, III
which, writing to Representative Her
bert Parsons, chairman of the repub-
lican general committee of New York
county, Taft deprecated amy effort to
secure the New York state delegation
in his interest against Hughes. Inc
general belief here is thai there Will
be no further opposition to the' en-
dorsement of Hughes at the spring
state convention to name delegates
at-large to the national convention.
