CLOTHING SALE OPENS.
Mans store Bargain Counter Lined
with Buyers.

While the cost of food has gone UP
and occasioned a national outcry, it IS
significant TO note that the rule Of high
prices is not applying-uniformly at
least-to all the necessar!es of life.
Clothing. for example. is to-day an ex-
ception.
This is emphasized by the Mans Store,
which, through its progressive and enter
prising proprietor. d. J. Kaufman. is con-
Quoting at this opportune time a cloth
ing sale extraordinary. Fine, handmade
suits and oyercoats. the best in material
and latest in design, are offered at most
tempting prices-prices hitherto unknown
in connection with clothing Of quality.
The Mans Store is thus giving the men a
chance TO Offset, in a measure, the higher
prices they pay for things to eat with
lower prices for the things they wear.
Veritable bargains are offered-a genu-
inc slaughter in prices-and the sale
naturally is attracting wide attention and
filling the attractive establishment with
eager buyers. Rarely has anything like
it been seen In Washington. And the
best feature of it is the fine character of
the clothing to choose from.
In this case it IS More than Moneys
Worth or Money Back"

ROADS AT WAR.
Tennessee Central Appeals Against
Tariff Tactics.

Five hundred and eighty railroads are
named as defendants In a complaint
which was filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission yesterday by the Ten
nessee Central Railroad Company. The
Tennessee Central informs the commits
sion that five Of the carriers, including
the Southern and the Illinois Central rail-
ways. have given notice of the canceling
of all joint tariffs with it, and the other
defendants will cancel. If this is done,
the complaint states, the Tennessee car
rier would undoubtedly be completely iso-
lated and compel it to practically suspend
business.
The complaint states that the Southern
Railway Company, and the Illinois are
responsible for the proposed cancella-
tons. These roads. it is said, in July,
1905, secured an option on the Tennessee
Central and operated it until June 80,
1908, when they turned it back, and sub
sequently fled certain charges against
It. The Tennessee company declined to
pay them. and it charged that the South
ern and Illinois Central are retaliating.

Committee to Handle Expenses.
Representative Tawney gave his col
leagues some -the-shoulder
economy talk yesterday during the con-
sideration Of the agricultural appropTia-
ton bill
Representative Douglass. OF Ohio. had
advanced the old idea of an apportion-
ment Of the annual appropriations among
the various committees at a conference
Of chairmen presided over by the head
of the Ways and Means Committee, and
Mr.. Tawney got up to reply to him.
He told the House Of the only method,
upon which all appropriation chairmen,
Republicans and Democrats. have agreed,
is the method of intelligently appropriate
ing for the expenditures Of the govern
ment with an idea Of both economy and
efficiency.
Mr.. Tawney advocated one General ap-
propriations committee. large enough TO
take care OF all the annual expenditures
OF the government.
