AN EXCHANGE OF SECRETS.
Z FIFTEEN minutes later Phil heard a

the corridor while one of the men took
exercise, and Daring had improved his
opportunity.

you object, answered Daring.

Daring was amazed at the diaboIical
cieverness and shreWdness this fellow
possessed Whenever Phil had attempt
ed anything. Bradshaw had been there
to expose him, or at least to cast a
doubt
It was maddening to Phil Just en-
the eve of success he was forced to
stop abruptly, because that Internally
clever Bradshaw had begun TO sew
doubt in the mems minds
That night the death-watch was set
for another man. Phil wondered when
his turn would come.
Next morning the death-watch was
there, and Phi shuddered when he
caught sight of one of these guards
passing by his cell.
Again he came to the conclusion that
it would be better TO make an effort 10
escape and die in an effort to get away.
rather than sit there peacefully and
wait until the law got around TO kill
WheTf this thought came to him Phil
took out his little pocket comb. he
looked at il lovingly. There was al
ways hope TO be had from that
Slipping the comb back into his
pocket, he turned TO a corner and picked
up two pairs of socks.
GIVE me needle, viii you, guard %
he asked, stepping to his door and walt
ing for the attendant to come up with
the supply tray.
You're always wanting needles.
grumbled the man, gOOd-naturedly.
Why don't you wear some kind of
holeproof socks"
State doesn't furnish them. does it?'-
queried Phil.
No
Wen, then, I guess III have to go
without them"

toned the guard. as he handed in the
thin bit OF steel

Oners were not allowed the use of
matches and the attendant always
brought them light.
The Washington times., 1909-06-18

Mo- lie couldn't do that The one
thought that always made him change
his mind was that Roh would marry
Alice II he were free. Phil could not
bear TO think Of that. He would not
help to that end.
He TOOK out the clever file that he had
designed and played with il The
comb was of ordinary hard rubber and
PIN had mended the places at the top
where the needles had been pushed in,
after being heated red hot ia his pipe.
II was cleverly constructed piece
OF work. He had done il at odd times
when the shades were drawn down
Phil specUlated on how he could pass
the file to Bob If he decided that it

Bradshaw. I'm the original checker

As the men talked about this new
sugges tSon OF TOmmy's and busted
themselves in preparation. Phil sat
silent in his cell.
The idea had furnished him with a
means to transfer his unique file TO
Bob II it became necessary. He had
figured out a scheme. and was sure now
he could smugEle the file to Bob with

lBy Associated Press. J

PADUCAH (Ky.), July 7.-Crea-
tion of national corporations by con-
gress to do interstate business was
advocated by Attorney General
Wickersham tonight His address
showed how states may control for
eign corporations within their boun-
daries. He said:
Corporations are not citizens .un-
der the constitution The only limit
of state control is not to deprive
property without legal process or
deny equal protection under the
law. STATE regulations must not in
terfere with interstate commerce or
business of federal nature"
He advised law prohibiting a cor
poration license If half of the stock
was owned or held by any other cor
poration. He said such a law would
go far toward the destruction of the
trusts, which are rapidly growing.

PLATTSBURG IN. ", July r.
Dwelling upon the part played by
the Iroquois Indians in the early
history of America, Senator Root,
in an address replete with historic
facts, paid a high tribute to Samuel
de Champlain and to those French
soldiers and explorers who shared in
the early struggles for America.
Senator Root pointed out the in
fiuence which the eyents attending
the discovery of@Lake Champlain
800 years ageahad upon the issue OF
the great struggle between France
and Great Britain for the control
of the continent "the struggle be-
tween the two white RACES for the
opportunity to colonize and expand
and between the two systems of law
and civil policy, for. the direction
and development of civilization
among the millions who were to
people the vast region extending
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Rio Grande to the frozen
limits offhe north"
Relating the events of the trip
made by Champlain late in June,
1909, accompanied by few white
companions and a great array OF
Algonquin Indians, Senator Root
told how, at the battle of Ticoner-
oga, where Champlain's party came

avoided a night session. 1t is eX-
pected that all Republicans will vote
for the bill. All the Democrats are
against it except McEnery of Louisi-
ana. The house may agree Friday,
thus ending the special session. The
income tax advocates failed to carry
the Bailey substitute to the corpora
tion tax. The latter was amended
to include holding companies by tax
ing dividends agreed to by Aldrich.
Newslands sought to limit the tax
to sugar and oil refineries and those
manufacturing dutiable articles. His
amendment was defeated by vote
of forty-five to twenty-four. Aldrich
defended the proposed court of GUS
toms and appeals, to insure an hon
est determination of the customs
law and save people millions of dol
lars.
Borah declared Aldrich's plan was
the most solemn and direct impeach-
ment of the judiciary ever heard.
The court provision was carried by
a forty-nine to twenty-seven non
partisan vote. The tobacco tax will
be the principal subject for discus
sion tomorrow.
