the part Of the House than the Senate if
he was fighting for the Senate bill and
you were fighting for the House bill!
In other words, did you not enter into a
conspiracy with Mr.. Aldrich to pack the
conferees on the part of the House for
the express purpose of adopting the Sen,
ate bill?
81 have gone into these details to lay
bare your miserable, contemplate, false
pretense, and to expose your duplicity,
treachery, and perfdy to that legislative
body over which you preside, whose bill
you were bound to defend and not to
destroy.
Looks Like Conspiracy.
"The Republican platform was based
upon the position taken by our presiden-
tial candidate long before the convention
met, and his subsequent position upon
tariff revision downward was in perfect
harmony with the platform on which be
stood. Is it possible that you and Sen
ator Aldrich entered into a conspiracy
to secure the adoption of the Senate bill
for the purpose of discrediting the Pres
ident by regulating his pledges and the
platform of the Republican party? TAX
ing all the facts as they appear in the
case, from start to finish, a lawyer, an
intelligent criminal lawyer, would say it
looked like a conspiracy. The scheme
failed because Mr.. Payne and the Presi-
dent stod like honest and brave men for
the redemption of the pledges of the Re-
publican party"

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
not weakened ON his stand against
bleached -four, and preparations are be-
ing made to try several cases of this sort
as soon as the department Of justice
cam get ready for them.
The bleached -four case is one of the
big eases Of the department. and caused
a long hearing in Washington last year
1t was shown then that bleaching flour
was a common practice, and that it was
accomplished by the use of nitric acid
and special machinery and chemicals
that constituted in the mind of Secretary
Wilson a menace to public health.
Many of the bakers who testified at
the hearing said that it was impossible
to buy unbleached -four on the market
and that personally they would be glI
if the practice were done away with
The secretary of agriculture issued an
order that no more bleached -four was 70

June s of this year. That gave the man
ufacturers six months to get rid Of thet
stocks.
There is a great deal of money ir
volved in the business, both among The
millers and the manufacturers Of the
bleaching machinery. An effort was
made to stop the enforcement of the SEE
retary's order by mandanus proceedings
but the court refused to grant the oTdf'

HEART TROUBLE CAUSES DEATH.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Frank Bar
stow, a director of the Standard Oil
company and multimillionaire, who was
born in Waukesha, Wis, in 1847, died
suddenly Friday in a berth aboard :"
New York Central train, near Utica,
n. Y, while returning to his home i'll
East Orange, N. j., from an outing at
the Thousand Islands. Death was at
tributed to valvular disease of the heart.
Mrs. Barstow was with her husband
when the end came. DR.. Louis G. Cole
of 1O3 Park avenue, New York, who
was travelling in the same car. attended
Mr.. Barstow, but was unable to render
any material aid.
Body Held for Coroner
Mrs. Barstow desired to take the body
to New Jersey Immediately. but
Utica authorities insisted on an inve
CATION by the coroner first. This done,
the grief stricken wife was allowed TO
proceed to East Orange with her hus-
bands body.
Mr.. Barstow only recently had re-
turned from a trip to Germany, where
he went in search of health. He had
been passing a few weeks at the Thou
sand Islands, and his expressed desire
to leave there and return to his East
Orange home was taken as an indication
that his condition was improved.
Was Active in Combine.
For many years Mr.. Barstow was ac-
tive in the administration of the affane
of the great oil combine. He came in.
the limelight quite prominently during
the recent investigation of the company
by the government.
Mr.. Barstow is survived by his wife
and two children. He was connected at
an early age with the Acme Oil conn
pany of Cleveland, Ohio. The Acme
was a competitor of the Standard for
many years, but finally succumbed. Mr..
Barstow then became connected with
the Rockefeller interests, and ultimately
rose to a high position. He retired a
year ago. Ill health was the cause.
