JAIL FOR CAPITOL GRAFTERs
Court Upholds Convictions Of
Snyder and Shumaker.
1t is All Over and the Men Must GO
to Prison, Says Attorney-Gen-
eral Todd.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The conviction
of William P. Snyder and James M.
Shumaker, charged with conspiracy
to defraud the State in connection
with the furnishing of the State Capt.
toll was affirmed by the State Supreme
Court here.
Snyder was a former Auditor-Gen-
eral and Shumaker a former Super
intendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds.
Snyder and Shumaker were con-
victed in the Dauphin County Court
in Harrisburg on December Is, 1908,
and sentenced to serve two years each
and to pay a fine of $500 each and
the cost of prosecution. John H. San
derson, of Philadelphia, who had the
furniture contract for the Capitol,
and William L. Mathues, of Media,
former State Treasurer, who paid the
alleged fraudulent bills, were con-
victed and received a similar SEN
tence 1T the same time. Sanderson
and Mathues have since died. Seven
others, making nine, have died.
The cases were carried to the Su-
perior Court, which affirmed the Dau-
phin County Court, and an appeal
was then taken to the highest tribu-
nal in the State, which upheld the
lower courts.
Acknowledgement Todd, comment
ing on the decision, said: cit Is all
over and the men must go to prison"
Harrisburg, Pa.-Actions in equity
for the recovery by the State of at
least 5000, 900 alleged to have been
illegally paid to contractors for the
furnishing of the new State Capitol
were entered in the Dauphin County
Court by the Attorney-General's De-
partment. The actions are againGt
the contractors, John H.-Sanderson,
now dead, and the Pennsylvania Con-
struction Company, the State oficials
having to do with the awards of the
contracts and the approval of bills in
payment, Architect Joseph M. Hus-
ton and the sureties of the contract
ors and State officials.
The suits are the outgrowth OF the
Capitol Investigation conducted in
1907 and are entirely separate from
the criminal actions brought more
than two years ago.

Hammurabi and Moses.

There is no foundation for the
claim, advanced in certain quarters,
that Moses copied his laws from the
code of Hammurabi of Babylon. The
best scholars are positively of the
opinion that there is no ground what
ever for %supposing that the Hammu-
rabbi code was known to or came with
in the purview of Moses. The very
contrast between the B~abylonian code
and the Mosaic laws would seem to
give pointblank evidence OF the fact
that Moses had no access to the Baby
lonian laws as epitomized in this code.
The laws of Moses are full of sanitary
provisions, provisions for the Sab
bath, provisions against unnatural
crimes, provisions regulating a priest
hood, none of which subjects is dealt
with in the Hammurabi code.

Natural Gas.

Natural gas is a member of the
parafin series formed by the decom-
position of animal matter, as in Ohio
and Indiana gas, and from vegetable
matter, as in Pennsylvania gas, this
decay having occurred within the
rocks, and probably at moderate tenn
peratures. When nee formed it &C
cumulates in the pores of the rocks
in which it originated, or in the over
laying layers, but is usually kept
from escaping to the surface by the
sen of some layers of impervi-
GUS rock. 1t is then obtained by the
piercing of these strata by wells, or
where the beds have been assured by
folding or faulting, it may issue from
natural channels.

SIX SHOT IN STREET RIOTS
Fatal Disorders Renewed in PhlIa-
deIphia Labor Strike.
Strike breakers Fill a Street Car and
Ride Through the Streets Shoot
ing Into the Crowd,

Philadelphia, Pa.-Six persons, IN
Guiding a young girl, were wounded
by bullets fired by a party OF strike
breakers, who rode wildly up n
down frankfort avenue In a troiiey
car and shot into the crowds that
lined the sidewalks.
After one of the most uneyentful
DAYS since the beginning OF the strike
the stoning of cars was renewed at
night along frankfort avenue, the
principal thoroughfare in the mill
district in the northeast.
A stone thrown by one of the crowd
injured a strike breaking motorman.
Infuriated at this, a crowd of about
fifteen of his comrades took out a
car. all 0, the windows of which
thew broke with their clubs. AS the
car loaded with armed strike break
ers. sped down Franford avenue, bull
lets were rained at the jeering crowd.
Patrolman Bragg, of the Frankfort
district. who was standing on the
sidewalk, received a bullet in his
helmet about an inch above his head.
Helen May, fourteen years old, was
struck in the leg by a bullet. John
Maloney, eighteen years old, n
Michael Osborn, twenty-four years
old, were also shot in the legs, and
Frank Bromley, twenty-three years
old. received a bullet in his foot.
These wounded were removed to the
frankfort Hospital. Two other in
iured persons were taken to their
homes.
After reaching Allegheny avenue
the car was switched to the north
bound track by its crew and the
dash back to the barn began. So
swiftly was it driven that before the
crowd realized that it was coming
back it had sped past them and into
the barn again.
The shooting of inoffensive by
ISLANDERS worked the crowd to a high
pitch of excitement, and as other cars
came down the street the mob pro-
ceeded to wreck them, in several in
stances leaving only the trucks on the
rails. About a dozen arrests were
made.
The labor leaders, after receiving
reports from the secretaries of many
local unions, reiterated their claim OF
$4,000 OH strike, and said that many
additional recruits will leave work.
Director of Public Safety Clay, on
the other hand, said that a recanvass
of the city's industrial establishments
shows that while 1900 workers
walked out that day, $500 strikers re-
turned to work.
The Philadelphia Hosiery Manu-
facturers' Association meeting in the
Manufacturers Club asserted that the

five per cent. of the hosiery industry
in Philadelphia, had voted unan-
imously to close their mills.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
1t Makes For Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, po-
tatoes, coffee, and ETC., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup OF
Postum.
His health began to improve at
once for the reason that a meat eater
will reach a place once in a while
where his system seems to become
clogged and the machinery doesn't
work smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink of the highest
value, already quickly digested and
capable of being quickly changed into
good. rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which
II is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
soft gray substance which fills brain
and nerve centres.
A few days use of Grape-Nuts will
give one a degree of nervous strength
we'll worth the trial.

Why There Are No Fresh Eggs.

We are aware that when fresh eggs
come rushing from the farms in enor-
nous quantities they are promptly
shot into cold storage just as they
come, while the stale eggs, already
in storage, are put out to the GUS
toners. The fresh eggs are whisked
out of sight, so as not to "break the
market" There is an abundant nat
ural supply for the season, but be-
cause it is withdrawn from the con
sumers the artificial shortage is main
