FAVOR COTTON SEED FLOUR
As Substitute for Wheat-Demonstra
ton at Land Congress.

Little Rock, Ark.-At the land con-
gress to convene in Little Rock the In
terstate Cottonseed Crushers' Association
will establish headquarters and maintain
booth demonstrating continuously the
advantage of cottonseed flour as a sub
stitute for wheat flour. The association
will supply the visitors not only with
the eoarser and more generally used edi-
bles, but also with confections and the
most delicate of cakes, maintaining their
superiority in every respect over the old
and more expensive wheat flour manu-
facture. The cottonseed manufacturers
maintain that the cottonseed flour con-
tains SO per cent protein, III fat, a
total OF COLT per cent, against 1868 per
cent protein and los per cent fat in
wheat flour.

MANY MABRAY VICTIMS
SON OF CLERGYMAN ASSISTED IN
DUPING COLLEGE MAN.
Carried Along by Assurances of Friend.
ship-Texan Lost $4,000 on Wrest-
ling Match.

Council Bluffs, Ia.-Wednesday's ses-
sion of the trial of John G. Mabray and
Sc other defendants, charged with swim
ding operations by alleged misuse of the
mails, produced a kaleidoscope of testl.
mony not yet equaled during the trial.
The testimony of victims placed on the
stand, while rehearsing experiences in
many respects not dissimilar from those
already recited to the jury, was given by
persons whose personality completely
changed the complexion of the system
by which they were induced to make con-
tributions to the collection alleged to
have been taken up by the defendants.
William H. McGrath, aged rs, a gradu-
ate of the University of Minnesota and
of the st. Paul Law School, was as cas-
lily duped out of his $4,000 as was
James G. File of Cisco, ILL.,, aged "a years,
who testified to the loss of similar
amount. I. E. George of San Antonio,
Tex, lost $1s,000; James Weber of Sha-
mokin, Pa, $4,000, and B. B. Schurman,
Kans., $4,000; total $4,000, as the
amount which witnesses told of losing.
Louis W. Stowe, son of an Episcopal
rector of Minneapolis, solicited McGrath
in the matter, assuring him that it was
former college friendship that prompted
him to ask the witness to assist him to
carry out the scheme, according to the
witness testimony, and it was this dec
laration that decided him to bring $780,
900 to Council Bluffs.
An interesting witness today was 7. E.
George of San Antonio, Tex, who said
he was relieved of $4,000 in connection
with a wrestling match at New Orleans
two years ago, in which one of the con-
testants apparently suffered serious
hemorrhage in the second bout.
He named Jose E. Wright, now under
indictment but not yet arrested, as the
''friend" who led him into the affair.

GAVE BIG PRESENTS"
NEW YORK LEGISLATURE FAVORED
FIRE INSURANCE MEN.
Peculations Covering Period of Years
Gradually Being Brought to Light.

SAoeaohJ DSAA6 DAoa6ht ~ AASht'
New York.-Mercilessly hurting ques-
ton ON question at reluctant witnesses
and reading to them in rapid succession
letters and kilograms that told in un-
mistakable terms of the activities of
fire insurance companies in influencing
legislation at Albany, William Hotchkiss,
state superintendent of insurance, and
his attorney, Alfred Hurrell, forced start
fling revelations at today's session of the
| fire insurance inquiry.
1t was shown that large sums of mon
ey had been raised to procure or .hwart
legislation between 1901 and 1906.
These payments, the majority of which
were to law firms, ranged from $500 to
$17,5OO. The three largest payments
were of 1880 to the law firm of Sher-
man & Sterling, in 1905, for work at Al
bany in connection with legislation then
pending; of $4,000, in 1906, for the
came purpose, and of 1871 to Elijah
r. Kennedy, member of the insurance
firm of Weed & kennedy.
One interesting statement made by Mr..
Kennedy was that he had given pres
ent" of $1,000 to George w. Aldridge of
Rochester, Republican leader of Monroe
county. This item was part of the So
900 officially disallowed by the under,
writers, but later reimbursed to Kennedy
by assessments levied on the insurance
companies individually. Kennedy said
yesterday Aldridge got $500, but today
corrected his testimony.
Every effort to force Kennedy to tell
who received the remainder of the ST.
900 was futile.
1t was through the testimony of Case
that the payments $17,500 and $4,000
to Sherman and Sterling were brought
out

A MAIL COX AT THE DOOR.

One of the suggestions of the post,
master general for economizing in his
department is that the people put up
little boxes or other receptacles at
their front doors. so that the postman
will not have to stand and wait until
somebody answers the bell. A great
deal of time is wasted by the postman
having to wait It is in the interest
of an efficient and economic service
to provide these little conveniences.
And then they are not only conven-
fences for the postman; they are also
for the people of the house. There
is the mail man." says the housekeep-
er, with her hands in the dishwater
or mixing the dough for the family
bread-"run, Johnny, to the door,
and Johnny is down in the back yard
trying to lasso a black cat, but by
this time the mail man, thinking no
one is at home, goes off with the ex
pected letter from Mary, who is visit
ing over in Chicago, and so the family
is deprived of the pleasure for several
hours, simply for the lack of neat lit.
tie letter-box at the front door.

7. J. Foley Named Assistant to Vice

Chicago.-The opinion that the future
of the Illinois Central railroad will be
dominated by the Union Pacific interests
was strengthened 'oday by the official
announcement of the appointment of I.

dent Park. Mr.. Foley was formerly as.
sistant general superintendent of the
Union Pacific at Omaha.
1t is stated that were it not for the
government suit asking for dissolution
of the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific
combination, the Hartman lines manage.
ment would, ere this, have been extend
ed to include the Illinois Central. Until
the merger suit shall have been decided
the Illinois Central may be permitted to
continue with distinct organization.

CANNON KNOCKED OUT
INVITES COALITION TO DECLARE
SPEAKERSHIP VACANT.
Democrats Accept Defi-Their Resolution
Vacating the Speakership Voted
Down Amid Wild Scenes.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Joseph G. Can
non as political entity, and Cannonism
as exemplifed by the speaker, were
ground to pieces in revolution in the
house of representatives Saturday.
BY vote of 191 to 1856 the allied in
surgent Republicans and the Democrats
ousted him from the committee on rules,
through which he had welded his great
est power, and enlarged that committee
from five to ten members.
By the same vote reversed-155 to 1911
the house, however, declined to take
the speakers chair away from Mr.. Can
non.
The real significance of the vote to de-
pose the speaker was that the insurgents
refused to make martyr of him. Fur
chaos by bringing ON the election of q
new speaker.
Not only were Cannon and his staunch
supporters outvoted, but they were out
generated and outfought. And not only
were they given the most humiliating re-
pudiation that any leaders of the house
have ever suffered, but they were made
to taste the bitter medicine they have
80 often administered when they had the
party lash and the fear of party excom-
munication to help them to achieve ruth
less victory.
For the speaker himself, though he
died, as he often said he would when his
time came, with his boots on" he had
the courage, the audacity, or whatever
it may be called, to retort to the vote
that discredited and repudiated him with
defiance of those who had crushed him
and literally dared them to follow up
their victory and throw him out of the
speakers chair
Also the speakers old guard fought
with equal bravado to the end Braced
by the speaker himself, they made the
best showing possible under the heart
breaking circumstances, and when the
speaker uttered his final words to his
enemies, they stood up and cheered him
as though they had won the great battle
of their lives, instead of having lost that
battle.
1t was history-making session of the
house that brought about the defeat of
Cannon. Its like was never beheld be-
fore; none of those who took part in the
fight remember the occasion or an occa-
sion that approached that of Saturday
in Importance. And no session of this
generation of legislators approached it,
either in the intense excitement, the wild
disorder, the bitterness of feeling or the
intense partisanship that was displayed.

RETIREMENT PENSION BILL
Reported Favorably by House Commit
tee on Civil Service Reform.

Washington.-The house committee on
reform in the civil service will report fa-
vorably bill providing for retirement
of pensions by assessing civil service EN-
ployes of the government.
An age limit of 80, with certain modifi-
cations in the discretion of the president
is fixed by the bill. 1t contains pro.
visions for past service payment by which
superannuated employees less than 70
years old contribute the fixed percentage
of their salaries between the time of the
passage of the act and the attainment of
70 years of service, the government to
pay the pension after that on the same
basis as if the employee had been con.
tributing his percentage all those years.

MORE OIL IN TEXAS.
Eastern Capitalists Quietly Invest 49,.
100000 in 1000 Acres.

Galveston, Tex.-A deal involving 49,
100000 for 1000 acres of land in Me
Mullen county, in Southwest Texas,
brought to light the presence of oil in
great quantities in this section of the
state, where experiments have been
quietly conducted for several months.
Without knowing just what the experts
found in their tests, property owners ad-
vanced the price of their lands to enor-
nous figures. The grade of oil found
is almost pure lubricating and finding
the supply unlimited, the new owners
plan the construction of pipe line to
the nearest railroad. This promises to
be the largest field in the Southwest and
is far removed from other producing
fields.

Fourteen Sure-Thing Athletic Promoters
Are Hit.

Council Bluffs, Ia.-John G. Mabray
and thirteen associates charged with ille-
gal use of the mails in connection with
extensive swindles, were found guilty
by the jury today.
Two years imprisonment and a fine of
$4,000 is the maximum penalty for Ma
bray entered by the court.
With the conviction of the defendants,
the government believes it has broken
up the most monumental swindllng com.
bination that has ever operated Stats
tics have been gathered which show the
receipts of the combination since its or
ganization about ten years ago, to have
exceeded $5,000,000.

CORPORATE TAX LAW
rs MERELY EXCISE TAX UPON CAR
RYING ON BUSINESS.
Tax Does Not Become Direct in Cases
Of Company Handling or Dealing IN
Real Estate.

Washington.-The governments de-
tense of the constitutionality of the cor
poration tax provision of the new tariff
law was submitted in printed form to
the supreme court of the United States.
1t is the work of Lloyd w. Bowers, So
licitor general, but bears the signature
also of his chief, Attorney General Wick
ersham.
The first point sought to be made is
that the tax is not direct tax upon
property, but is an excise tax upon the
carrying on or doing business" The
declarations of the statute, as well as
decisions of the courts, are relied upon
to support this point.
As to the statute, Mr.. Bowers says in
his brief that it shows the transactions
of business to be the subject of the tax
and that the income of business is used
merely as measuring the amount of tax,
(which rests not upon the income but
upon the occupation from which it is
derived"
These reasons, together with the de-
cision of the supreme court in the Spreck'
els case, which the solicitor-general ex'
plains as holding that tax declared in
the statute to be laid on business in an
amount equivalent to certain percent
age of income, is an excise tax on bust
ness, are taken by him as sufficient to
show that the corporation tax is an ex
else tax ON the transaction of business.
The third point is that the tax does
not become direct in the special case of a
company engaged in the business OF
handling or dealing in real estate. Five
of the fifteen cases for consideration by
the court involve such corporations. Mr.
Bowers claims they raise no constitu
tional question, but only the query as
to whether they are engaged in carry
ing on or doing business" if any corpo
ration is not so engaged it is not reached
by the statute, he argues.

there. Charlotte j. Bente, a minister's
daughter, was the bride in the midnight
ceremony, of which Drummond emphat.

The report of the geological survey
shows the remarkable growth in the
production of natural gas in the Uni
ted States. the output having risen
from $4,000 in 1882 to $54, GAO, 900 in
1908, or 254 times the value 20 years
ago.. This is tremendous increase.
But the question will be suggested to
many minds whether such enormous
consumption of natural gas will not
soon exhaust the supply. In fact, in
one or two localities there have been
complaints that during the cold waves
of the present winter the natural gas
has proved an uncertain reliance for
heating purposes, sometimes failing
when most needed. A little conserva-
ton and more effective regulation
might be in order.

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?

Simple Prescription Said to Work
Wonders for rheumatism.
This has been well known to the best
doctors for years and is now given to
the public. Get one ounce of syrup of
Sarsaparilla compound and one ounce
Toris compound. Then get half pint
of good whiskey and put the other two
ingredients into it. Take a tablespoon
full of this mixture before each meal
and at bed time. Shake the bottle
before using" Good effects are felt
the first day. Many of the worst cases
here have been cured by this. Any
druggist has these ingredients ON hand
or will quickly get them from his
wholesale house.

Uncle Sam Against clipping"

Sam rebelled today against the tipping
system The reform is due to the fact
that the walters in the senate restau
rants are now government employees, be

the senate. This was found necessary
because it had become impossible to find
anyone willing to operate the restaurant
all who have had it declaring it to be a
losing venture. The senator's cannot see
how such can be the case, as double
prices for viands are charged and tn.
caterer has no rent to pay.
