Civic Federation Investigators
Not Influenced by Subscribers.

Professor Parsons, an Nj. o. Member
of the Commission, Denies That Cor
poration Contributions III d Any In
fluenee on Its Report - Resents
Newspaper Criticisms.
Professor Frank Parsons. president
Of the National Municipal Ownership
league, was recently interviewed Icy n
representative of the Boston Herald
in regard TO the testimony before the
public service commission in New
York to the effect that the Metropoli-
tan Securities company had contrbut-
ed $4,000 to the expenses of the COM
mission which studied the problem of
municipal ownership here and abroad.
The testimony before the commits
sion, said Mr.. Parsons. contained
nothing that in any way reflects on
either the Civic federation or the com
mittee of investigation. The sensation
al elements presented 10y the press
were read into the case by an crrOnc-
Gus Interpretation Of some of the facts
stated in the evidence in connection
with some remarks of August belmont
in relation to the investigations
"A large part Of the funds were con
tributed by various corporations and
industrial interests. the Metropolitan
company among the number. and MI
Belmont is quoted a~ saying that the
result Of the investigation WAS very
satisfactory. Some newspaper man
put those two facts together and con
Guided that the corporations had got
what they expected and paid for.
As matter of fact. however. Mr.
Belmonts remark meant merely that
the work had been thuroug hly done
and valuable mass Of facts brought
out. How far wrong i the Impression
that corporation contributions had any
influence on the character of the re
suits may be seen from the fact that
the final resolutions of Tie commits
sion, summing up the investigation.
are signed by every municipal owner

Another fact which has Il strong
bearing on the case is that the super

of all the funds across the water were
intrusted to DIR. Milo Il MaItbic, now

Carbolic Acid By Mistake.

George Green, residing near
Kinks Mills, gulped down spoon
full of carbolic acid by mistake one
day last week and only by prompt
action saved his life. Realizing his
mistake he at once seized a pan OF
milk and drank it all. He i'm
mediately yomited that, took "a
large dose of castor oil while COW
was being milked for more fresh
milk which he soon used as a
further emetic and neutralized the
effects of the acid as much as pos
sible by continuing to take as much
milk as possible. A badly burned
mouth was the only serious after
effects of his mistake.

Joseph II Taylor.

The body of Joseph H. Taylor
was brought to Oxford Monday
afternoon and taken to Little Elk
burying ground for interment.
The deceased was son of William
and Elizabeth Taylor of Elk town
ship, near Lewisville, where he
was born 65 years ago.
He was unmarried and is sur
vived by three brother and one
sister Maris, of Bellingham,
Washington; William, of Los
Angeles, Job B.. of Bismarck,
North Dakota, and Mrs. Margaret
Brickley, of Wilmington, Delaware.
A. H. Taylor, of Elk township, is
a half brother, and Mrs. Lizzie
Brown, of Delta, half sister.
After serving in the Union
Army he went to Iowa in 1864.
Atterward he went to South Dakota
and established the first democratic
newspaper in the territory.
Being of a restless disposition he
took to the trail, followed the Mis-
souri, river and spent several years
with the Indians, engaging in hunt
ing and trapping. His knowledge
of the country and acquaintance
with the Indians rendered his
services as a guide much in de-
mand. In 1899 he published his
first book on frontier and Indian
life, by the sales of which he de-
frayed his expenses during travels
overland in a blackboard. His
later publications were "Twenty
Years On the Trap Line" Kaledios-
copic Lives,' Beavers and Their
Ways" the latter a valuable
treaties on the habits of this
animal.
For years he was located at
Washburn, North Dakota, where
he conducted a job printing office.
He was a recognized authority on
frontier events. In 1876 his SER
vices were sought as a guide for
General Custer who headed
command against the hostile Sioux
Indians on the Little Big Horn, but
declined to serve and endeavored
to dissuade the expedition from
setting out with such a small force,
HOO men. Custer and his soldiers
were afterwards surrounded by
Indians to the number of between
8, 600 and 10000 and annihilated.
