which the lawyer said that he had
spent approximately $4,000 "hush

would otherwise have injured his

Mr. Hartridge is suing for counsel
fees and issued his statement after a
motion had been made by Mrs. ThaT
calling for a bin Of particulars In his
suit.
Harry Thaw is in the Mattcawan
asylum and his mother has been all
most constantly in touch with him

Harry Thaw's statement is similar
to that of his mother but in addi-
tion it brstles with personal attacks
on Hartridgo. The statement says,
among other things
"The affidavit published by G w.

not close one eye lash Of the thousand

repeat vaguely some lahrications then
pretend he spent money to keep them
from the knowledge of the district
attorney and of the newspapers.
Mr.. Hartridge is suing for $4,000
for counsel fees and expenses ana
more than half of this he says-40,-
600 to be exact-was spent in hush
money.

LITTLE CONSOLATION FOR
THE ULTIMATE CONSUMER

Washington, May 23.-Thc ultimate
consumer. the scapegoat of the tariff
discussion in congress is being on
lightened on many questions through
the publication of facts brought out
in debate.
Some of this knowledge brings no
joy'to the heart Of the ultimate con
sumcr, for he finds in many instances
he has been deceived
Apropos of what the senate does
not regard the necessity for protect
ing the American cotton seed indus
try Special Agent Cullen Brode, of
tho department Of commerce and labor
has sent information from Marscilles,
that the American ultimate con-
sumcr" has been using his own cotton
seed oil for his salad dressing in the
belief that it was pure olive oil
from France. Mr.. Brode adds in
kindly spirit that the French pure
food law and the short crop Of olives
is going to boost the price of real live
oil for the ultimate consumer
Those southern senators who op-
posed duty on cotton seed oil. con-
tended that the industry needed no
protection ON the ground that there
was no competition abroad, but Mr..
Brodc gives a list of oils which he
claims compete with the American
oil France imports about one-fifth
of the cotton seed oil shipped out of
the United states and Marseiles is the
largest vegetable oil producer i'm the.
world, having forty-ive mills which
crush about 465, 900 tons OF seed an
nually. in addition to the large amount
of oil which is shipped there
Most of the cotton seed oil is mixed
with other oils-olive, peanut sesame
and sold as table oir.' writes Mr
ERODE olive oil airichade or peanut
and sesame oils are the oils that are
used in competition with cotton seed
oil Olive oil is in class 10y itself. -
Mr. Brode adds that the present
price Of olive oil is very high" But
inasmuch as new olive oil will not
come on the market until December
and as the salad, vegetable and fishing
season is now ON. bringing with it an
increased demand it is hardly prob
able that a decline viii take place.

No plan of operation has been out
lined beyond that of hemmerlng away

speeches of strong opposition by other
senators will cause him to deVlate
from it.
The lumber schedule taken up yes

eeive attention and it is expected that
Mr.. Reyburn of Idaho will conclude
his remarks He is leading zealously
for a high duty on lumber while his
Senator McCumber of North
Dakota is just as earnestly eXcrtins
himself to prevent the imposition OF
any lumber duty whatever
The prospect is still for much con-

tariff bill which have been passed
over with a view to cleaning up as
