RAISING FUNDS
FOR NEW HOSPITAL
CAMP MORGAN PETTUS HAS DE-
TERMlNED TO HAVE $4,000 IN
HAND AS THANKSGIVING GIFT
TO MOUNTAIN CREEK VETS.

The campaign for the fund to erect an
adequate hospital at the Confederate Sol
diers' home at Mountain Creek has begun
In earnest, and the committee of sons Is
out at work with the determination to
finish the job by Thanksgiving. This let
ter has been sent out. addressed:
ITO Members of Camp Morgan-Pettus
and Other Sons of Confederate Veter-
ans, Gentlemen:
"The Confederate Soldiers home at
Mountain Creek is badly in need of an adj
equate hospital with which to care for the
old men who live at the home, many of
whom are bedridden and in continued
need of hospital attention. The officers
at the home say they do not see how they
can pull through the present winter with
out this hospital.
THE money for this splendid work is
going to Abe raised this month by our
camp, and the building erected as soon
thereafter as possible. 1t will cost to build
and equip 1t something like $4,000, and
with. the amount In our treasury and al
ready subscribed to the movement, we
have about $500 to start it off.
This is an opportunity to show
whether our patriotism is of the kind that
honors the old Confederate soldiers and
wants to do them practical service in
their declining years, or whether it is the
STUFF that bubbles into life and enthusiasm
only when the band plays Dixie
Fill In the inclosed card in the name
Of your father or other relative whom
you desire to remember. The sum must
be SO, which is the amount of our annual
dues, but it should be as much more as
you feel able to give. Make real
Thanksgiving offering to the old vet
Grams.
Hand the other cards to some friends
who are interested in the cause and who
desire, In the name of some Confederate
soldier, to help provide and care for the
few surviving veterans of the state who
are in need.
"a list of the donors and those in whose
names the donations are made will be
hung up In the new hospital.
"Act promptly, as we want to finish
raising the money by Thanksgiving Day.

Officials Say Nothing.

New York, November 20.-M. F. Elliott.
general counsel of the Standard Oil COM
pany, saidi
"fn the absence of the full text of the
courts decision we can make no state
ment in the matter"
John D. Archbold was at his home in
Tarrytown, N. Y, when he was in
formed of the courts decision. Mr.. Arch
bold said
IT shall not make any statement for
naturally we desire to look over the text
of the decision"
II was suggested at the office of the
Standard Oil company that a close
analysis of the courts decision would
doubtless show points upon which num-
erous exceptions might be taken. which
would materially modify the effect of the
decision and might further reveal points
nthe case which would determine the fu-
ture course Of the company in the litiga-
ton.
The stock market which received the
news Of the Standard Oil decision an hour
before closing, ended Its brief day with a
marked weakness all along the line. Trad
ers rushed pell nell into the market to
unload whatever speculative stocks they
were carrying and to sell short those
issues which appeared in danger or drop
ping suddenly in response to the news
received.
Standard OIL stock, deal in on the curb
market led the procession with a de-
cline of 1914 points from 7021s to $50. The
more important speculative stocks on the
regular stock exchange list declined SYM
pathetically, losing from ] to s points
each. Reading was the weakest of these
stocks, registering at closing time a net
loss Of points from Its top point for
the day. Amalgamated Copper lost Q
points, Union Pacific dropped III and
Steel sagged rs. The general selling
movement bordered for few minutes on
decentralization, but support was rushed
to several of the sagging issues, and the
closed with most of the active stocks
slightly better Off, but inclined to irreg-
ularity.

1t was generally accepted except in
the cases of individuals who contin-

question arose as 10 the sale OF cream
and Ice cream sold by the local cream
cry whose products came from cows
located in the country and without the
pale of the ordinance. These excep-
tions started the trouble and this year
dairymen have been slow to comply
with the ordinance. and In only one or
two Instances has 1t been obeyed. The
council, confronted with the enforce
ment OF the ordinance or Its repeal
ordered the measure submitted to tho
attorney general of the state for an
opinion as to whether or not the or
dinance can be enforced. Since the
measure was submitted. Waterloo has
included ice cream in It's pure milk or

Mrs. Gould Also Admits That she

Questioned Concerning Dustin
Farnum,

New York. June 14-So large a
crowd gathered at the county court
house today to attend the trial suit for
separation Of Katherine Clemmons
Gould against Howard Gould. that
special police measures were necessary,
to preserve order. The examination of
Mrs. Gould probably will take up the
time Of the court today, and following
her, 1t Is expected that George ]. Gould
will be called to testify as to the extent
of the fortune of Howard Gould.
Mrs. Gould showed few evidences of
the nervous tension under the rapid
fire cross examination which Delaney
Nicoll, attorney for Could. began to
direct at her when she resumed the
stand. Questioned in regard to her ac-
quaintance and meeting with Dustin
Farnum, the actor, witness testified
that she did not remember meeting
Farnum between August 1906. when
he dined with her at Castle Could"
and the meeting in Hartford, Conn.,,
when they dined together at hotel
in that city. Nicoll read, from dis
position OF Elijah Sells, Mrs. Gould's
cousin, in which he stated the condi-
tions upon which Gould offered a rec
onciliation with his wife. The condi-
tions were that Mrs. Gould was not to
interfere in the management OF Castle
Gould: she was to abstain from intoxi-
cants: refrain from humiliating Gould
before his friends, and to agree to the
regulation of her personal finances.
Mrs. Gould would not admit the speci-
ficiations In this agreement, when ques-
toned about 1t, but said, they had
asked her to sign a paper to abstain
from intoxicants."
Mrs. Gould, replying to questions
concerning the cost Of her various
gowns, said that they cost from 500
to $500 each, that she was accustomed
to change her gowns Ave to six times
a day. and that her costuming cost
$35. 900 to $4,000 per year. She never.
wore the same gown twice. for u she

TAX ON Oils PLANNED.
Senate Finance Committee Favors Dut,
on Petroleum Products.

Senate Finance Committee Favors Duty
on Petroleum Products.
Washington, June 14.-The senate
committee on finance will in all prob
ability recommend that duty be i'm
posed upon crude and refined petroleum
and the products of petroleum in spite
Of the action of the house in putting
these articles on the free list.
This subject was the most import
ant of many matters discussed at a
meeting of the republican members of
the committee Sunday. The oil question
was not disposed Of finally, but the
indications are that crude oil will be
made dutiable at a quarter Of a cent a
gallon, and on refined petroleum a rate
OF 25 per cent ad valorem will be fixed.
It Is probable also that the latter rate
will be made to apply to products Of
petroleum.
Many members Of the senate favored
the countervailing duty on petroleum,
but the representatives Of oil producing
states did not favor it. The demands
for protection upon oil come principally
from the independent oil men.
The coal question was another i'm
portant subject under consideration,
but was not disposed Of. The sentiment
Of the committee is in favor Of reduce
ing the rate on bituminous coal from
81 cents to so cents a ton, but the Wyo-
ming senators, in opposing a reduction,
assert that the western Canadian coal
would come into the United States at
the lesser rate and the Wyoming coal
fields could not compete with it. Ac-
cording to the view expressed in the
committee today, however, representa-
tives of the largest coal fields Of this
country agree that the 5O-cent rate will
afford ample protection to American
coal.
Regardless Of the fact that southern
senators have been able to hold up the
provision for free binding twine for
the northwestern farmer, pending dis
position of the cotton bagging question,
the committee will not recommend that
bagging be placed on the free list. This
will prove q great disappointment to
senator's representing cotton producing
states.

Prediction Made That Congress. Will
Not Finish Tariff Bill Until August
or Observation-Disclosures Schedules

Washington, June 14.-"we surely

said Senator Clay, of Georgia, today
respecting this session Of congress-.
The Philippine islands were the SUBJ
ject of consideration as soon as the
tariff bill was taken up today. The
finance committees provision regulat-
ing the payment Of duties on COM
modities coming into the United States
from the islands became the subject of
an animated discussion The provision
permits free importation of Philippine
goods, with restrictions and excep-
tions. and on motion of Lodge it was
made applicable to Guam and Tutuila
on the same terms.
Not because of any wish to protect
American cane or beet sugar, but be-
cause in his opinion the proposed sub
isidy to Philippine products would bind
those islands to the United States in
dissolubly. was the reason advanced by
Senator Newlands,. of Nevada, in a
speech in the senate today, for his op-
position to the amendment admitting
free to our markets Philippine sugar
and tobacco. lie declared that !f we
complicate the Philippine tariff system
with ours, the two countries will be
SO bound together by this amendment
that it will be difficult to separate
them"

Andrieu Tells Judge He is AmenabIe

Bordeaux, June 14.-When Cardinal
Andrieu appeared in court today to
answer the summons Of the judge
charging him with having melted a
breach of laws by the allocution which
he pronounced at the Cathedral on the
occasion of his enforcement, he was
acclaimed by an immense crowd of
Catholics. The cardinal told the judge
he came as an act Of courtesy, and not
because he recognized the competence
Of the court. He said he had spoken as
a bishop that was answerable only to
his conscience, the pope and God, and
declared he assumed full responsibility
for his words. When the cardinal
emerged from the court he was again
acclaimed. Women fell on their knees
and kissed his ring, while the young
Catholics cheered.
