PROBE STOPPED
BY WICKERSHAM
HeedS Defendants Plea In
a Land Fraud Cases.
TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES

Attorney Asp Wires to Washington
That Governments Representatives
Have Injected Psrtisanship Into
Grand Jury Proceedings at Tulsa
and Say Documentary Proof Is on
Way to the capltaI--Attorney Gen.
eral Has Faith In subordinates.
Washington, May l9.-After receiv-
ing long telegram sent by Henry q.
Asp. counsel for the defendants in the
Oklahoma land fraud cases. to Sena.
tor Curtis OF Kansas, Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham decided to suspend
further proceedings on those cases
pending the receipt of testimony in
support of charges alleging improper
conduct on the part of the govern.
ment attorneys.
Mr.. Wickersham stated that II was
his firm conviction that the govern
ment attorneys we're performing their
duties faithfully and efficiently, and
said that at this long range he would
not interfere with their efforts.
Mr.. Asp's telegram makes charges
against District Attorney Gregg, Mr..
Rush, special prosecutor of the de.
partment Of justice, and Mr. Mott,
special attorney for the Creek In.
dians.
The telegram says: "The grand
Jury on Saturday refused to indict
Hutchings and Turner, and the dis.
trict attorney then moved the dis
charge of the jury and the drawing
of a new jury, as he thought it use
less to present other cases to the
same Jury. The motion reflected on
the honesty and integrity Of the jury
and also charged improper influence.
The Judge held that the charges OF
improper influence we're too indefinite
for consideration, but granted the mo-
tion as a matter Of right to the gov
ernment.
1--WE are prepared with positive doc
umentary evidence showing various
purposes on the part of Rush. Gregg
and Mott, including their determined
effort to involve partisanship in this
investigation. These positive proofs
will clearly show Rush, Gregg and
Mott are improper persons to be en-
trusted to represent the government
in the administration OF justice in
these cases.
1--WE are ready to verify everything
in the papers mailed you and ask that
proceedings be stayed until we can
present to the attorney general the
proofs.
81 personally feel that IL the attor-
ney general knew the methods adopt.
ed by public prosecutors and the facts
surrounding the investigation, he
would substitute some representative
of the government who would conduct
the investigation impartially and fair
ly, without personal malice or parti-
san considerations"

Auto. Mith poa Kennels.

The dog trotting contentedly along
between or just back of the rear
wheels of carriage is one Of the
pleasant remembrances of the time
when the horse was supreme, but
horse and dog were botn rudely dis
turbed by the advent OF the automo-
bile. Automobiles run too fast for a
dog to trot along beside, and as there
is not room within the automobile for
anything larger than a lapdog the
coach dog had to go. One English au-
tomobile firm is now manufacturing
an automobile body that opens at the
back, disclosing a roomy kennel for
dogs, but it is probable that, although
better than nothing at all, this ar
rangement will not be completely sat

will be sharp contest in the senate
over the proposition to refer to the
judiciary committee the amendment
to the tariff bill introduced by Sena.
tor Bailey. providing for an income

port the amendment. Mr.. Bailey is
counting upon from 16 to II Republi-
can votes to secure the adoption of
the amendment. Fifteen will be sufi-
cient IL the Democrats vote solidly

inroads upon the progressive" Re-
publican camp and that upon the
question of referring the whole sub

votes pledged.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way TO
cure deafness, and that Is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition OF
the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when II is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO
Its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which Is
nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF Deafness caused

stead Of Reduction.
New York, May 19.-Tariff techni.
calities almost involved the National
Association of Manufacturers in a
wrangle after the presentation Of the
report of the committee on tariff and
reciprocity by its chairman, II. E.
Miles of Racine, Wis.
Discussion followed, during which
=. II. Dean of indianapolis declared
that lit is most unfortunate that the
question of tariff revision should be
enforced on the association" He said
he objected to a general lowering Of
duties and did not look with favor on
the creation OF a permanent tariff
commission. Such a body, he said,
would only prolong national anxiety
and draw ''fat salaries"
The report was finally adopted with
the recommendation that the associa.
tion go on record as favorlng tariff
adjustment but not necessarily tariff
reduction.

Thousand Spectators See Fight.
Pittsburg, May 19--Six times Hugh
McGann was down for a count of nine
seconds in his six-round bout with
Stanley Ketchel, champion middle
weight of the world. Five times in
the sixth round he was saved from
a knockout by a second. Twice he
was knocked through the ropes, once
clear across the press table into the
sehts Of spectators. Ketchel appar-
emily toyed with his opponent.
Only the cheering voices of his
champions from the audience inspired
Mccain several times to get up on
his feet again after being all but
knocked out. For the first three
rounds McGann fought hard and land.
ed several times on the champion, but
he apparently exhausted himself in
the early rounds and could not face
the powerful blows of his antagonist
after the first half of the bout.
No decision was permissible under
the Pennsylvania laws. Never before
has so large an audience witnessed
a boxing bout in Pittsburg. Six thou
sand persons crowded Duquesne gar
dons, among them being men promi'
nent in financial, political and bust
ness circles.

KING C0TTON'S THRONE.
Is II Hero or In Those Lands Where
He ls Only a Visitor?

In all discussion regarding cotton
two facts are paramount-frst, that
cotton controls the world, and, second,
that the nations that reap a prodigal
harvest from the sale of cotton goods
depend upon America for the raw sup
ply.
The American people have begun to
realize the significance in the fact that
alien nations that never saw a cotton
plant have long since entered the king
dom of cotton and now divide domin-
ion among themselves, excluding the
United States, where the cotton is
grown.
The contest among the powers today
Is for trade, and cotton i'm some form
IS the chief commodity carried. 1t is
inconeeivable that other nations can
go on at the expense of America, win
ming trade triumphs with n commodity
which they do not naturally possess,
which they cannot obtain In sufficient
quantities outside OF the United States
and which they could not manufacture
at n profit but for the fact that we
sell the product near and at times even
below the cost of raising it.
An analysis of this trade in cotton
goods reveals that of our exports more
than S6000,000 worth consists of un.
bleached cloths, while Of our imports
more than S22,0O0,O00 worth consists
Of finer fabrics, including embroider.
les, laces and curtains.
Altogether the figures show that
while we exported in the ten months
ended with October, 1908, $22,000,00C
worth of the output Of our cotton mills
the nations sold to us almost 100 pei
cent more than we sold them.
1t is a grotesque and almost unbe'
llevable item in the commerce of this
age that n resourceful nation like Amer
lea, the producer of the worlds cotton
should buy back 50 worth of cotton
goods for every dollars worth it ships
abroad. Now is the time for Ameri
can statesmen, American genius, tC
awaken. The dawn of the cotton cen
tury is here.-Daniel Sully in Cosmo
polltan Magazine.
