The immense success which has fol-
lowed l.. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has ex-
ceeded anything of the kind ever be-
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has a
novel Theory. He believes that the
human stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his own
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: THE average
man or woman can not be sick If the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of a viTulent
nature. such as cancer. tuberculosis.
diabetes, ETC.. which are organic, and
are not traceable to the stomach. but
even fevers can, in nine cases out OF
ten, be traced to something taken into
the stomach. All of this half-sick.
nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by the stomachic
conditions, and it is because my rem
edy will and does regulate the stomach
that / am meeting with such success.

WIFE DENOUNCES
CHAPLAIN AS Thief
Spouse Furnishes Information
Which Leads to Arrest of
Husband for Larceny
Former Jewelry Salesman Is
Charged With Theft of
More Than $4,000

August John Clapham was yesterday
arrested on a charge of grand larceny
as a result of information given by his
wife, who is vigorously pressing suit
for divorce. He is accused of having
taken jewelry from his former employ
ers valued somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000.
For period of Is months from Sep
tember. 1906, Clapham was employed
by Nordman Brothers, wholesale jewel
ers. as a clerk. Because of the lax
methods of the concern Immediately
after the fire the. thefts which are now
traced to Clapham were not discovered
although R. fallen of the firm knew
there was a leak.
The specific charge of grand larceny
against Clapham is that he stole a gold
watch valued at s55 in January, 1908.
r. F. Allen secured the warrant from
Police Judge Deasy- yesterday after
noon and Clapham was arrested by De-
tectiyes Driscol and McQuaide
Clapham was advised by his attor-
neys, Hitler, Stringer & O'Brien. not to
discuss the case, but O'Brien asserted
that the charges were trumped UP by
Mrs. Clapham as sidelight of a bitter
divorce case. According to O'Brien she
wants the defendants business, from
which he is said TO have an income of
$4,000 month, as against the s1eO a
month which he received while en-
ployed as a jewelry salesman.
Shortly after his arrest Clapham's s
mother and Attorney O'Brien visited
him at the city prison. Bail was fixed
at $4,000.
Much of our information came from
his wife's attorney" said Allen in dis
cussing the arrest of Clapham. We
realized for long time after the fire
that goods We're missing from the store.
which was then located at III Market
street, but we were doing business in a
loose manner at that time and could
not find the leak. Clapham got into a
dispute with a department. manager in
the spring of 1908 and was told to quit
The man has a record that is simply
astounding to me. He stole more thai
already identified certain articles that
he took. 1t was case of small, petty,
everyday stealing"
In an affidavit filed by Mrs Clap
ham yesterday in the divorce proceed
ings Clapham is charged with having
numerous aliases. Among the names
he is said to have gone by are DR..
Royal, Dr.. Gallagher. Speckman. John
son, Smith, Haven, Barceuo and
Schhmaker. While Claphams deposi-
ton was being taken last week he
was asked if he had not been known
by these names at different periods of
his life, and he refused to answer.
Mrs. Clapham asks Judge SeawelI to
adjudge him guilty of contempt for
so refusing and to commit him to
the county Jail.
Clapham admitted going to CaIiente.
Kern county with Fannie Clay,
waitress, and also that he invited the
girl to accompany him. Anything
further about the trip he resoiutely
declined to tell. This also is assigned
by Mrs. Clapham as contempt of
court.

Group Properties, but Take
No Definite Steps

1t was pointed out that thus far all
that has been done by the allied inter-
ests is to group their own properties
in separate divisions.
Denial is made that the Amalgamted
eventually will absorb the Anaconda.
On the contrary, it is said, the Ana
conda will absorb the properties in it's
own territory and then pass into one
great holding company, together with
the Amalgamated and it's subsidiaries

Angeles. There are big civic improve
ments TO be looked after Business
men are too apt TO be too much en-
crossed with their private business to
watch the public business.
We are trying to build up civic
spirit in Los Angeles. In our public
schools we are trying to teach our boys
and girls something of civil govern
ment We are trying to teach the boys
the homely virtues-to be honest truth
full and coura geous. We are trying to
teach the girls that to be respected they
must preserve their selfSrespect.
The Los Angeles chamber has not
achieved its record by the dollars its
members have collected. II has tried
to cherish and to foster good civic
spirit. That is how we have attained
our prestige"
KAHN SPEAKS OF UNITY
Congressman Julius Kahn was the
next speaker. He said that he was
much impressed with Scotts address.
Ia legislative halls, he remarked, the
representatives, of the southern dis
trict had stood shoulder to shoulder
with the san Franciscan representa-
tives, James McLachlan and Thomas
Flint being added in their effort TO
gain appropriation for the harbor at
San Pedro by the congressman of the
north and in turn aiding San Fran
cisco in obtaining water supply from
the Sierras. The interests Of both cit
les were mutual, he said.
4 have often thought" he added,
that we do not pay sufficient attention
to the great tourist flock that yearly
visits our state. Los Angeles has
taken advantage Of it, and it is one of
its great assets"
He advocated a carnival extending
for a month, held by mutual agreement
OF the cities of the coast, during which
the cities. reaching from San Diego to
Sacramento, should each in turn enter
tain In that way, he said. many thou
sands who yearly rushed to Europe for
their pleasures would be drawn TO
California.
George II. Stewart, former president
of the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce. appealed for a stronger spirit
Of brotherly love. He quoted st. Paul
that all else besides such spirit was
but sounding brass and tinkling GYM
balls.
At the conclusion Of this speech Jo-
seph Scott proposed three cheers for
San Francisco. They were roundly
given. James +. McNab returned the
compliment by leading the shouted hur-
rahs for the visitors from the south.

WILL NEED TRAFFIC SQUAD

The street car and auto traffic, at the busiest street crossings in New Haven is regulated by traffic squad of police. Herein lies a sugges ton for the authori- ties of Canaan to act upon when the trolley comes down from the wild and brigand- infested hills of beautiful Berk- shire.
 If the terminus of the road is going to be on the plaza" opposite the Can field. that portion of Main street extend ing from Railroad street to Granite avenue, is going to be hazardous stretch of pike, according to the numerous "fnal layouts'' of the electric line that the var ious local oracles are so oook-sure have been decided upon. Main street, be- tween the points mentioned, will be gridironed With railroad tracks if every final layout" predicted by the prophets is final. and between Parsons store and the town hall the sidewalk pedestrian will carry his life in his hand. Trolley ears will be coming down upon him from Granite avenue they will jump at him from between Mrs. J. F. Rhoades' house and the Episcopal church they will come plunging out from between the Rhoades house and the hotel they will hold him up between the hotel and the steam railway tracks and they will come speeding around the Railroad street cor. ner.
 It will be readily seen that nothing but the presence of strenuous and able bodied traffic squad can prevent that stretch of highway from becoming 6 "dead mans stretch somebody is mistaken about the final layout"

MEAT DROPS AGAIN

Meat prices have taken another drop, throughout the entire list, from porter house to liver, and it is predicted that they will go lower yet.
 A prominent meat dealer in New Ha- ven is quoted in The Union as admitting that while the large corn crop is in some measure responsible for the down ward tendency of prices, politics figures largely in the cut, and that the meat barons. becoming frightened by the pros psct of reduction of the tariff on for eign cattle, as foreshadowed by the re- suits of the recent congressional elections and the present. temper of the people, which those results indicate, have opened mp the supply which they have been holding back, and dropped the prices in the hope of warding off the wrath to come. '.. ...
 This admission, disclosing the vulner- able spot in the armor of the. meat mo- nopoly, squares with politically unpre- iudiced public sentiment, and is borne out by the record of the trust. There have been bumper crops before, but the meat prices went sky-larking just the same. The governments Department of gustice has repeatedly prosecuted
 convicted and penalized the trust for violation of the anti-monopoly laws, but still the prices scared, higher and higher
 While the barons felt secure in their ab solute control of the nations meat sup ply, they thumbed their noses at the governments prosecutions, laughed al the denunciations of the press, ant sneered at public sentiment. But wher that public sentiment shapes itself in g way and serves notice that it knows where the trouble is and where the remedy lies, they came down, like Crookett's coon, and propose compro mise. They recognize that while the

Mrs, J. s. New, who has been living with her daughter, Mrs. Fl. D, Humphrey, for some years, is in serious condition as the result of a general nervous and physical breakdown. Last Friday, while seated at the break fast table she suddenly collapsed, and Dr. Camp was summoned. Mrs. New was immediately put to bed and Miss Roland, of Pittsfield. an experienced nurse, is now in attendance. The condition of the patient at present is hardly improved, although she is apparently free from pain, but owing to her enfeebled state and naturally frail constitution, the doctor gives little encouragement on which to base in hope that she will fully recover.

 And there's sunshine every day.
