To Fill Cracks In Furniture.

Ugly marks caused by Sits or crack
ed places Oh furniture are easily filed
In with beeswax. and the mark is new
er detected. In fact, this is how ftrni-
ture dealers cover such blemishes-
First slightly soften the beeswax until
it is like putty, then press firmly into
the cracks and smooth evenly with a
thin knife. Sandpaper over the sur
rounding wood and work the dust into
the beeswax. This gives a wood fin
ish or color, and when the furniture
is vanished you will look in vain for
blemishes. It is better than putty,
since putty soon dries. crumbles and
falls out. while beeswax remains for
ever just where it is placed.

hands of few men was allowed by
MI. Jerome to go on and hundreds of
stockholders robbed of their money
and that no attempt was made to
punish men alleged to have committed
other frauds in connection with New

SCORES SAVED BY FIREMEN
Number of Persons Seriously Hurt,
Two Probably Fatally.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Two persons
were burned so severely that they
may die, a dozen more were severely
hurt and scores were rescued from
perilous positions by fremen in two
early morning fires. Although in
widely separated sections. of the city
it is believed that both fires were of
incendiary origin. The fire in which
many were injured was in a tenement
house al As East First street. The
flames were first noticed on the third
floor. Before those sleeping on the
upper floors were aroused the fire had
spread throughout the third floor, cut
ting off all escape by the stairways.
Even before the fremen arrived the
fire escapes were crowded with
scantily clad and badly frightened
men and women, many of them carry
ing children in their arms. SO close
1y were the tenants crowded on the
choked and they remained there help
less until the firemen raised ladders
and took them down to the street
Several persons who were caught by
the rush of flames on the third floor
were badly burned. Calegro Bar
barette and his daughter Lena. aged
nineteen, inhaled flames and are in
critical condition. Several others who
were taken to hospital suffering
from burns and bruises will recover

Government Licensing Bill Before
British Parliament.
MOST IMPORTANT MEASURE
Provides for the Compulsory Closing
Within Certain Time of About
one-third of the Retail Liquor Es-.
adjustments of the Country.


adjustments of the Country.
London, Feb. 2S-Chancellor of the
Exchequer Asquith has introduced the
liquor licensing bill in the house of
commons. This is the principal gov
eminent measure for the present SEES
sion of parliament and involves vast
money and labor interests. The cap
ital invested in licensed property in
this country is not less than $780,
100000, while over 100000 people
are employed in the traffic. The
chancellor, in presenting the bill, de-
clared that, in the opinion of the gov
eminent, all effective reform in this
field must aim at the attainment of
two principal points, namely, a pro-
gressive reduction of the excessive
facilities now allowed for the retail
sale of intoxicating liquors and the
gradual complete recovery by the
state, with due regard for existing in
terests, of its dominion over and its
property in monopoly which it had
improvidently allowed to slip from its
control.
The plans proposed for the attain
ment of these objects were detailed
at considerable length by the chan
cellor. Briefly, the bill provides for
the compulsory reduction within
specified period and on a uniform
scale of the number of regular saloon
licenses throughout the country. The
number of saloons to be licensed is
based mainly upon the density of the
population. In cities it is proposed
to allow one saloon for every 700 per-
sons and in the country districts one
saloon for every 400 persons. This
regulation, it is estimated, will wipe
out in the neighborhood of 10000
licenses, about one-third of the pres
ent total.

Thirty-seven Applications for Exten

state Commerce Commission and
Hearings Are Now Being Held.
Washington, Feb 2S.-Operating
officials of railways from all parts OF
the country are in attendance upon
the hearing given by the interstate
commerce commission of applications
for an extension of the time of the
going into effect of the nine-hour law
In all thirty-seven applications were
received by the commission asking
for the extension. Two OF them al,
ready have been denied, those of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railway
and the ST. Joseph and Grand Island
railway, because, in the opinion OF
the commission, the petitions did not
show what, in the terms of the act,
would constitute good cause" for
granting the relief requested. The
applications of the other thirty-five
lines are being heard as one case be-
cause the petitions are substantially
Identical. All of them assert that
they have found it impossible to pro-
cure the services of competent, eff
Gent and dependable telegraph oper-
ators in such numbers as will enable
them to comply with the provisions OF
the law; and that, even if they could
obtain the necessary operators, the
enforced employment of SO many addi-
tional men would be financial hard
ship which the carriers ought not TO
be subjected to. Nearly all of the
petitions also indicate that, in the
circumstances, if the law is enforced.

and possible loss to the travelling and
shipping public and preventing the
prompt movement of trains. The
roads which have fled applications
for extension of the law include the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific:
Illinois Central; Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul; Union Pacific; Hooking
Valley and Louisville and Nashville.
1t is regarded as significant that.
with the exception of the New York
Central lines, none of the great East
ern roads have made application for
extension In the Northwest the Wis
eonsin Central, the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific are not rep
resented among the applicants.
Under the law and a ruling of the
no road which does not
apply for the extension can be bene-
fciary Of any order granting the eX-
tension to other lines, even if such
order should be issued. It is assumed,
therefore, that the companies which
