Tells How to Make a Pint
of Laxative Cough Syrup
Very Cheaply at Home

The reason that most all cough
syrups are ineffective, is that the
ordinary preparations are very con-
stipating and after a while they ag-
g1avate the congestion and bring ON
feVer and pneumonia. To avoid pneu-
monia the bowels should be laxative
and the cough VIII soon be overcome
The finest acting. most pleasant
tasting and laxative cough syrup can
be made at home by any one. Obtain.
from well stocked druggist IA
ounces of essence mentho-laxene;
empty into a pint bottle. Make a
syrup with a pint of granulated sugar
and a half pint of boiling water; stir
and let cool. Then fill up the bottle
with syrup. Shake Il well and take
a teaspoonful every hour or two until
the cough is cured. This is the
quickest acting and surest cough REM
edy ever conceived. All wholesale
druggists and most retail druggists
sell essence mentho-laXene.--AdY,

NIGHT WATCHMAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
Shoots Himself Through the
Brain at Bureau Stables.

Under circumstances which lead the
police TO believe he was temporarily de-
mented, and apparently without a cause.
Richard D. Hulse. thirty-two years old.
night Waterman at the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing. early this morning
committed suicide by shooting himself in
the right temple with a -Ss-caliber re-
volver which he had carried while on
duty.
Hulse lived at 227 Thirteenth street
southwest He reported for duty at the
bureau at l1:30 O'Clock and went about
his routine work as usual until nearly
o'clock, when he left the bureau and
went to the stables adjacent.
James 7. Parran, negro hostleT, en-
sployed at the bureau stables, was sleep
ing in his room in the loft. Hulse went
to the negTO's quarters. carrying mis- re-
vOlver in his hand. He awakened the
hostler and asked;
"Do you think this will 90 or" point
ing TO The revolver.
They generally do replied the ne
gro. somewhat frightened by the strange
actions OF the midnight visitor.
without another word Hulse pulled the
trigger and a bullet crashed through the
floor and tore splinters from the steps
leading to the first floor. lodging in the
wall OF the stable.
Hulse stepped from the room to the
corridor outside the hostler's room. Par
ran quickly closed the door. There was
a moment Of silence and then a loud
report rang out. The negro. afraid 10
open the door, shouted for help.
Joseph Parks. superintendent Of the
night watch. heard the negro's cries and
ran TO the stable Parks found the form
Of Hulse huddled UP in q corner between
tina wall and hostleT's room HulSe was
unconscious. but breathing.
The police were notified and Lieut.
Fathers, with a squad Of policemen
from the Fourth precinct. soon reached
the scene. Hulse was removed to Emer-
gency Hospital, where he died at a. m.
A letter addressed to John Hulse. SO1
West lie Roy street, Galesburg, Ill. was
found in the pocket OF the suicide. It is
believed John Hulse is the father OF the
night Waterman.
An examination OF ;he handwriting re-
vealed that Hulse had probably been
labofing under intense excitement when
he wrote the letter.
The missive was not opened. It may
give a reason for the act. A pawn ticket
was also found in the clothing OF the
man.
Investigation by the police revealed
that Hulse had recently been reprimand-
ed for a slight dereliction of duty. but
It is not believed this caused his despond-
ency. He was unmarried.

ANOTHER CUSTOMS SCANDAL.
Secretary MacYeaGh to Look Into
differentiation Frauds.

One OF the objects Of Secretary Mac
Veaghs visit 20 New York is to direct an
investigation into the alleged undervalua-
ton frauds which have been conducted
for some time in the importation OF
Panama hats. A special agent OF the
department came TO Washington last
week with the view Of comforting with
the Secretary.
Treasury officials are so far unable &c
fix the approximate amount OF duty
of which the government has been de-
frauded. Inquiries will probably be insti-
tuted into the valuations put on Panama
hat importations IN past years, and pos
sibly steps will be taken for the recovery
Of any duties wrongfully withheld from
the government

PLANS FOR MING
FOR AERO FLIGHT
Joint Committees Meet To-
day to Start Prize Fund.

A joint meeting Of the several commit
tees named by the trade bodies and the
Aero Club OF Washington Will hold
meeting this afternoon In the office Of the
Aero Club for organization, with view
to raising the Capitals share of the prize
money for the proposed cross-country
flight between New York and Wash
ington.
At a meeting OF the executive commit
tee Of the Board of Trade yesterday. a
committee was appointed from that body
TO cooperate with similar committees
to arrange this flight. The committee
named by the Board of Trade consists
Of J. H. Small. r.. Thomas P. Morgan,
and D. J. Callahan.
Callahan Outlines Plan.
The matter was laid before the execu-
tive committee by D. J. Callahan, sec
rotary of the board. who stated the
general outlines OF the contest. He said
that an aeroplane cross-country flight
had been proposed between New York
and Washington, and that two aviators
had signifed their willingness to enter
as contestants.
Mr.. Callahan said 1t was assumed that
the contest would take place on or near
July 4, provided a sufficient amount
could be raised as a prize TO the winner.
He said IL was proposed that the flight
should start from New York, and that
stops should be made in Philadelphia
and Baltimore. those two cities uniting
with New York and Washington in rails
ing the money for the prize.
Mr.. Callahan read a message from
George Meyers. president of the AmeTi-
can Aero Association, in which that as
ISOLATION offered its services In conduct
ing such a contest, and aiding In max
ing the rules under which it should be
conducted.
Reply sent to Meyers.
reply was sent to Mr. Meyers by
the executive committee setting forth that
the matter would be laid before a joint
committee OF the business men and aero
men OF this city and a definite decision
reached within a few days.
Public expression about the city yes
terday was decidedly In favor of the con-
test II was assumed that the event
would bring many TO the city, and would
serve as an impulse 10 trade. and that
the community would benefit from the
fight much more than the cost involved
in the raising of the city's share OF the
prize for the contest.
II was argued that the distance 70 be
covered in the flight was one OF the long
est undertaken. and that the time of the
flight might prove important in the way
Of establishing records, as did the per
formance of Aviator Curtiss. in his flight
the other day from Albany to New York.

Wins PRIZE DEBATE
Donald B. Creecy Awarded
$500 Cash Premium.
GEORGETOWN COLLEGE EVENT
Final Contest Held Last Night in
CASTOR Hall Between Members OF
Senior and Junior Debating So
cieties-Negative Team Carries on
Honors OF the Evening.

To Donald B. Creecy. class OF II. of
Maryland, was awarded the 500 cash
prize as the best debater in the final
prize debate held last night in CASTOR
Hall, Georgetown, between the members
Of the senior and junior debating So
eieties OF Georgetown law school.
The members OF the debating teams
were chosen from the best two contest
ants OF each OF the recent debates held
between the societies. thereby constitut-
ing the best material in the law school.
Because OF their superior arguments
and delivery, the decision Of the judges
was announced IN favor OF the negative
team, which carried or all the honors
OF the evening.
Leo A Rover. '1o, OF the District. who
was chairman, announced the question
for debate, Resolved, That the Federal
Constitution should DO amended 90 as to
give the United States the power TO levy
an income tax"
The speakers for the affirmative were
Ksn v. Fite. II. OF Alabama, and Hugh
c. Todd. 10. OF Washington; for the
negative, Donald B. Creecy. Il. Of
Maryland. and Joseph F. Abbott, II. Of
Tennessee.
Despite the fact that the decision was
against them, the affirmative made a
strong contest for first honors, but the
advantage was easily in favor OF the
negative.
Both teams showed careful elaboration
in their arguments. fighting each step
OF the ground ana covering it thoroughly.
Basing their arguments upon the pres
ent need OF the government for more
money to cover the present deficit, the
affirmative held that the income tax
was Just, because It would fall on the
rich, whereas the present system OF tax
alton was borne by men OF moderate
means.
Quoted President Taft.
On the other hand. the negative took
the ground that the government was not
in need OF ready money, that the tariff
law is giving good results, and quoted
President Taft as saying that there VIII
be a surplus next year. II the affirmative
wanted an excuse 10 raise more money
for the Treasury, they maintained. an In
heritancs tax was Just as good method
70 use.
