OIL USED AT ARMY POSTS
sixty-four Lighted In This Way at
Cost Of $t71,s77

Washington. Jan. 6.-Facts regard
ing an interesting feature of military
maintenance In these days OF gas and
electricity developed at a recent hear
Ing OF the House military committee
when II was shown that there are 81
military posts In this country, Alaska
and Hawaii lighted entirely by min
eral oil, which also is used at all posts.
The contract price OF this oil for light
inE purposes during the fiscal year
1908 was 3l7l,977 with an allowance
Of about $4,000 a year for the purchase
Of chimneys. wicks. burners and new
lamps TO replace those broken or worn
out. Almost half OF the money was
required for the Philippines. For the
coming year the army wants about
$4,000 for mineral oil.
Another feature OF army mainten-
ance Is the money needed for captur-
Ing deserters. The expense for catch
Ing them In the last year amounted to
more than $4,000 month.

HAMS IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Was on Witness Stand for Two Hours
Yesterday.

Flushing, Jan. 5.-Taking the stand
in his own defense, Thornton jenkins
Hams, for over four hours yesterday
related with wealth of detail the
story of the shooting of William E.
Annis, and of the conjugal troubles
OF Captain Peter c, Hams Jr., that
counsel asserts caused the mental un.
balancing of the army officer, and led
to the killing of the publisher on sight
When court adjourned Hams direct
examination had not been concluded
and he will be on the stand all day to
day
Thornton Hams told his story in
snappy, crisp sentences that fell from
his lips as soon as his counsel had
completed his interrogations. He
showed no signs of nervousness and al
times during the trial illustrated his
brothers expressions and appearance
when speaking of his wlfe's conduct
with dramatic infexion of voice and
facial expression.
The defendant declared that when
he went to Bayside to look at real es.
tate on August Is, he had no idea that
his brother was armed, and that he did
not know that Annis was at the zach;
club. He told the jury that all the
shots had been fired by Captain Hams
before he rushed to the float to pro
tect his brother from John Tonning
the boatman, and the club members
whom he said he thought would harm
the captain. Thornton Hams denied
thaf ha rOintad a rovOlyar ~ NTrc An
mis-. The defendant stated that he had
no idea how many shots Captain
Hams had fired, and when Charles
Roberts. club member, picked the
revolver up and the muzzle of the
weapon was pointed at him. he drew
his own gun. and told Roberts not t
shoot.
District Attorney Darrin said III
would take all day today to cross ex
anime the defendant.

MIR. Rockefeller and Charity oreani-
zation.

Surely it is wise to be careful not
to duplicate effort and not to inaugu-
rate new charities in fields already
covered, but rather to strengthen and
perfect those already at work Many
people simply consider whether the
institution to which they are giving is
thoughtfully and well managed, with
out stopping to discover whether the
field is not already occupied by others
and for this reason we ought not to
investigate a single institution by
itself, but always in its relation to all
similar institutions in the territory

65 LYNcHED DURING 1908
Record Shows Increase Over Previous
Year; Georgia Leads.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Lynchings in 1908
numbered 60, against 81 in 1907 and
6S in 1906. Many of the cases, how
ever, We're accompanied by race riots,
in which many were killed, and the
antagonism of the white and black
races were intensified for nearly all
the persons lynched were negroes and
all but two of the cases occurred in
southern states.
AS in previous years, crimes, or al
legged crimes against white women
and murders caused most of these sum
mary executions. One case, occurring
in Springfield, ILL.,. combined both
causes and resulted in the placing OF
the city under military control for sew
eral days. BY states the Go cases OF
lynching here recorded are classified
as follows:
Georgia, 16; Texas, 10; Mississippi
Is; Tennessee, 8; Louisiana, .: Flori
da, 2; Alabama, 2; North Carolina, / ;

LEGISLATIVE NOTES
Some Side Lights on the Doings of the
Vermont Legislature

Some Side Lights on the Doings of the
Vermont Legislature
There is a lot Of criticism heard at
the State House on c. J. Ferguson's
attack on Speaker Cheney in which he
charges that Mr. Cheney held up the
county option bill purposelv so that
it could be acted upon when there
were but a few present. A little in
yestigation revealed the fact hat
Speaker Cheney held up the bill at the
request OF the author, Mr.. Fuller of
Bloomfield. The particular bill in
question did not come from the com
mittee reported one way or the other
but it has been a dead Que clean
through and everybody knows it, even
the members of the Temperance commit
tee. 1t got in with the bills having
an unfaYCcal'e report and was taken
up fifth iu order on the afternoon 10

votes taken II which the total vote
shows a present membership of over

The reasor tho measTc failed was
because 1t did not have enough votes
in the House and this method of at
tempting to besmirch the character
of the speaker by a legislative nuis-
ance like Mr.. Ferguson does not fully
meet the approval of the members.
Il would like the committee to care
fully consider this particular phase Of
the bill" is the manner in which Mr..
Ferguson has carried on his campaign
at the state house. He thrusts one
hand in his pocket, looks wise and lazy
and seems to think he is entitled to
special consideration. 81 would like
this, would like that, | would like
something else" He is a pest to the
legislative body and there is no ques-
ton about it.-Barre Times.

False Doctrine.

The late DR.. Theodore Wolf, pro.
lfessor of chemistry at Delaware col
lege, set officeholders a rare example
of unselfshness by having his fees as
istate chemist greatly reduced on the
ground that they were exorbitant.
"Dr. Wolf" said a Newark man,
f'was a delightful lecturer. I often
dropped into the college to hear him.
I'll never forget one Of his lectures on
quack medicines.
HE told US about an early patient
Of his, a man who dosed himself with
about a half-peck of pills and two OF
three gallons OF quack medicine every
week.
"There was nothing the matter with
the fool. but all this silly medicine
swilling, and DR.. Wolf told him so, but
lit did no good.
Then DR.. Wolf appealed to the
mans wife to stop him, but she de
cleared that it couldn't be done. She
had quoted at him, again and again
she said, the verse In the liturgy thai
pointed out his sin, and
"'But where interrupted DR.
Wolf, bewildered, where does the lit
lurgy say anything against taking
quack medicine%
"She was prompt with her reply:
"'From all false doctoring, Goot
Lord deliver us!'"
