CONGRESS INQUIRY
 INTO HIGH PRICES.
Secretary Wilson Says Trusts
 Make Food DedrGr.

Secretary of Agriculture James Vii, son testified in Washington on Monday before the special congress committee appointed to investigate the higher prices of food in the District of Co lumbia
 Secretary Wilson declared that thg farmers, although they were admitted. ly getting good prices for their prod. ucts at this time, received very littl1 if any of the great increases in the prices of food products.
 We found," he said, during the course of our inquiry that the two year-old steer on the farm can be bought today just as cheaply as twelve years ago"
 Representative Wiley of New Jersey here broke ill on the secretary to say that friend of his who has a hi farm in New Jersey where food catt,e are fattened for market told him that he has to sell calves at a cent pound cheaper now than formerly
 But" said Mir Wiley, "I under stand that the retail price of veal in the District of Columbia has advanced from 20 to 30 per cent"
 That is true" said MT. Wilson. 'I know that the food products of the American farm are being sold in for eign countries cheaper than in the United States. This is not due, as some have said, to the excess of pro duction over consumption and the ne cessity for getting rid of the surplus abroad. It is due to the trusts-just to the trusts. l cannot find out all l want to on this subject for I cannot compel people to testify. But l will get the data to prove this statement have just made"
 The committee intends to call OK perts from the agricultural depart ment, farmers, commission men, whole salers and retailers and to go into the whole question of the advance in prices from the farm to the city resi- dences.

HELD AS SLAYER OF BOYS.
Herbert J. Dennison, a Magician, Ar
 rested In New York.

Herbert Jones Dennison, formerly a magician, was arrested and held on Monday in New York on suspicion that he was the man who shot and killed Robert Lomas and Arthur Shib- ley, two siX-year-old boys, ill High bridge park on the afternoon of Jan. 12.
 Dennison has been confined several times in insane asylums. The police believe he is also the man who shot John Fredericks four times on the night of Jan. 9 on a railroad bridge in New York.
 Inspector McCafferty said that he had not the slightest doubt that Den nisOn was the armed lunatic who killed the L0mas and Shibley boys, shot Fredericks and terrified children ill Bronx park. In his best days he was all expert revolver shot, often giv- ing stage exhibitions.

NEW YORK SENATOR
 ACCUSED OF BRIBERY
JOtham P. Aids Denies Charges
 Made by Colleague,

State Senator Benn Conger of Tomp- kins county, N. Y., created a sensation at Albany by declaring to his fellow senators that Senator Jotham r. Aids the Republican senate leader, had re- ceived money while a member of the assembly for killing legislation in re- gard to bridge contracts.
 Conger's story was that when he and Aids both were in the assembly, Aids being the majority leader, strike" bill was introduced. It proposed to take from town boards throughout the state the right to order new bridges and repair work which should cost more than $500. Conger was in the bridge business, and he realized that this bill meant to him and his associ- ates a loss of 60 per cent of business.
 So to protect themselves against leg islative injustice, as Conger put 1t, money was paid by the Groton Bridge company and the Owego Bridge com pany to Aids and other legislators. Senator COnger is president of the GrOton Bridge company.
 After the charges had been publish ed in the newspapers Senator Aids arose in the senate at Albany and flat ly denied that he had received any money as alleged. He demanded a full investigation, and this was or dered.

Of Interest to Investors

Thomas c. Perkins, of Hartford, whose page advertisement offering the 6-7 per cent. Preferred Stock of the Rockville Willimantic Lighting Company of Con- necticut, appears in this issue, is one of the best known brokers in the invest ment business ill Connecticut to day.
 His business is selling reliable divi- dend paying securities, returning a good rate of interest in such way as to make them available, particularly to small investors as we'll as to large.
 Before his advent ill the investment field. it was we'll nigh impossible for the man or woman with only one or two hundred dollars to invest, to find safe stocks to purchase.
 MT. Perkins as a result of this method of selling, handles more securities and numbers among his clients larger num- Der of small individual investors than any other broker in New England.

It does seem that women have more than fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must keep uT," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop over means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps and currs the kidneys and is en dorsed hy people in this locality.

HORSEMEN MAY
SPLIT ON HOPPLES
Association MayLOSe Members
if it EnfOrCeS the Rule

The hoppled PAGER may yet cause a
split in the National Trotting AS
sociation, according to tho opinions of
several local horse followers.
Doubts are expressed as TO the power
of the National Trotting Association
to enforce the rule without losing mem
bers who frequent the half-mile tracks.
The purpose of the new rule adopted
recently was TO allow the hoppled
PAGERS now racing or In training to
finish out their careers. and at the
same time head off the youngsters COM
ing on. so that when the time limit
expires IN 1914 only a handful of hop
pies viii remain TO be affected by the
final operation of the rule.
Whether matters will work out ac-
cording 20 expectations is matter Of
conjecture. 1t is figured that the crop
Of recruits in tho coming season will
not be reduced 10 any extent. as two
year-olds alone are affected. and every
trainer In the country is still free to
start as many new hoppled horses as
before, provided they are Of the re-
quired age. Next year there will be
still more accessions to the hoppled
class In 1912 there is likely to be
another big brigade. as the rule will
then have no effect over the horses
over four years old. and the great ma
'jority OF harness horses on the circui.

WHO WANTS THE
JOB OF UMPIRE?
County League Invites Indie
atOr Men to Send in Their
Applications
SOME GOSSIP OF
TEAMS AND PLAYERS

Everything in connection with the
opening of the New Castle County
League schedule has been arranged for
except the naming OF the umpires and
the posting of the club guarantees. At
the meeting of the league I'm THE
EVENING JOURNAL office last night
the schedule was adopted after few
minor changes had been made, but as
two umpires could not be selected from
the list Of FIVE names that was pre-
sented, il was decided to allow the
subject to go over until next Monday
night Meanwhile. Arthur c. Davies.
president of the league. will receive ap-
plications from all persons who desire
70 act as umpires in the league. The
league though this the better plan to
follow as until this time no person has
expressed a desire TO officiate for the
league in this capacity and the league
does not feel that Il should elect any
man to the position without first OBJ
tanning his written application for the
place. and the assurance that he will
serve. If elected.
Under the rules of the league. club
forfeit moneys must be in the hands
Of the treasurer on or before April l..
This will be forthcoming at the Monday
night meeting of the league.
The meeting last night was attended
by all the team managers and although
no announcement was made of the
signing of players It was intimated that
the teams of the league would pre-
sent many new players. Riverview. II
was said. would present an entirely
new lineup. Lewis and Devinney. of
last years Parkside team. were mem
toned as one of Mousley's batteries.
II was also said that Wingate. OF Del
aware City. and Jack" Bannar, OF
this city. might do the pitching for
Madden's New Castle team. and that
Red" Walsh would be one Of the
Brookwood pitchers. Crouch, OF
course. will continue TO throw them
over for DUPONT. Beatty has also
signed with DUPONT.
Griffith. of the Gas team. had moth
ing TO say about the men who will help
his pennantward. II was learned from
outside sources. however. that skinny
Johnson. Mannering and Zearfoss will
be on the team. It is also likely that
Grihith, himself. viii help out with the
pitching.
With the league now thoroughly or
ganized Wilmington fans are assured
Of plenty of fast baseball this season
