Make Corrections in Pre-
vious Testimony.
MRS. PINCHOT is
AMONG SPECTATORS
Witness States Worst Action by
Assistant Secretary in De-
Gliding Alaska Coal
Lands Cases.

WASHINGTON, Feb. f4.-After
linger- Pinchot investigating commit
tae to-day again resumed their In
CURRY before the largest crowd that
has yet been present at the hear
ings.
L. r. CLAWS, former chief of the
Seattle field service of the general
land office, was again put on the
stand.
Ready When Called.
On the last meeting day of the
committee Attorney Pepperal. coun-
sci for Price and Shaw. asked that
the committee receive the statement
of their alleged "pernicious acttvi-
ties in the squabble upon which they
were discharged from the forest ser
vice by the President in lieu of their
appearance ON the stand. To-day
Attorney Brandeis. counsel for Pin
chot. said that both Price and Shaw
would be ready to testify at any time
they were called.
CLAWS then asked the committee
for permission to make some correc-
lions In his testimony. Nertrees, chief
eff the BaiIiHgeF@ counsel. objected,
on the ground that the witness might
want TO change statements of fact.
rections were purely typographical.
assented
Some of the corrections caused con-
siderable amusement. one Of them
was the use .f "a parchment reef"
or approximately.
Mrs. Pinchot Present.
Assistant Secretary Pierce. of the
Interior Department, was present to-
day for the first time since the hear
ings began. He occupied seat with
the Bafitngsr counsel. and frequently
aided them. Mrs. Pinchot, mother of
the ex-chief forester. was also pres
emit. A full committee attended.
After the corrections were made by
CLAWS, Attorney yertrees started In
at once cross examining the witness
as TO his knowledge OF the Alaska
coal fields. He stated that the Cum
ningham group comprised about 5000
acres, and was situated about twenty
FIVE or thirty miles from the coast
and Katalia
A query from Vertrees brought out
the fact that at the time CLAWS first
mentioned the Cunningham group TO
the Land Office they were the only
. claimants that had paid up and filed.
Suddenly Vertrees turned TO the
committee, with copy of Collier
Weekly in his hand.
Quotes Golfers.
II have here he said "a copy of
Golfers Weekly for November 3, en-
titled The Whitewashing of Balm
ger. or Are the Guggenheims in
, Charge of the Interior Department? .
Did YOU write that article o.
Yes. sir" answered CLAWS. but l
didn't write the heading"
You have made three statements
Of fact continued Nertrees, In re-
gard TO these things-one to the
president In transmitting your re-
port, another In Golfers Weekly. and
third, before the committee. Did you
purposely refrain from actually
making charges against these men in
the Golfers article and In your
report TO the president-just merely
presenting facts?"
Yes"
You looked upon them with a
suspicious eye?"
Not with suspicious eye but they
meant something to me"
Well. what did the evidence make
you believer" demanded Vertrees.

One of the principal objections to the trap nest generally employed where individual records of hens are desired Is that too much time Is re- quired to take the hens out of the nests and record their achievements. says Orange Judd Farmer. Many farmers and poultrymen who would like to know which hens are profitable and which not in their flocks will there fore welcome such a nest as pictured herewith.
 As will be seen. the nest Is in an ordinary box. The front Is provided with a very light door made of a shingle or other light wood. and swung on a pivot from the top. Near the middle on the right-hand side is shown a little bar, also pivoted where it touches the door. Toward the lower end of this little bar is a notch. which as the door is lifted engages on the latch on the side below.
 When the hen enters to lay she
 lifts the door and disengages the
 latch. As she passes through. the door drops again and closes the en trance. When she has laid she mo-

Benefit in Outdoor Schools.

Speaking before the National Associ. ation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis recently. Dr. Henry Far nun Stoll of Hartford. Conn, said;
 Every city should have one or more outdoor school" He recommended such institutions for all dehcate, so. called scrofu!ous or anaemic children, and those with tuberculosis of the bones. who are now in ordinary schools. Doctor Stol declared that twenty or forty per cent of school children in large cities are infected with tuberculosis. By the use of tu- berculin, 1t was ascertained that 79 per cent. of the children from tuberculous homes were infected as against only 20 per cent. of those from supposedly healthy homes. It was also found that 50 per cent. of the frail children from healthy homes had the germs Of the disease, but that only 13 per cent. or the robust children fr"u similar homes were thus affected.

The long hat pin ordinance is not directed against a style of dress. but against a public nuisance. It has been shown that painful wounds and even loss of sight have resulted from the maintenance of this nuisance The style might be harmless if each of it's devotees could be consigned to ten acre lot and duly surrounded by a barbed-wire fence, but when they throng the streets and street cars of a great city it is dangerous, says Chi cago Record-Herald. It is to be hoped that women will have the good sense to realize that the ordinance, with its $50 fine. is not piece of freak legis- lation; that there were excellent req sons why an effort should have been made to abolish the nuisance, and that it is their duty to put the long hat pin out of business.

OLD CREST MILLS.

The establishment of a grist mill was very important matter to the early settlers of America. It was of little use to grow grain unless 1t could be ground and made suitable for food. and a settlement without a grist mill was at serious disadvantage. the more especially because the roads. where any existed. were not of the best. Not many of the oldest of the grist mills remain. Here in New Eng land, as elsewhere. they were placed In the beginning upon small streams which could be damned without resort to the engineering methods of today says Manchester Union. AS a conse- quence most of them were abandoned as population increased and the re- sources of the communities made 1t possible to erect mills on larger and more reliable streams. Then. too. in these later years the old-fashioned country grist mill has disappeared al most altogether. Last Saturday one of the historic landmarks of New Jersey. the old grist mill at Mount Holly, was destroyed by fire. It dated from 172S and it's loss is, of course irreparable. It appears, however. that New England could claim precedence of New ter sey. even before the Mount Holly grist mill was burned. The Providence Jour- nal says that there is one at New London, Conn, which was built as early as 1850. and is of especial his toric interest because it was the prop erty of Gov. John Winthrop, Jr.

MAKE HOME
 GROUNDS PRETTY
Lawn s hlouId Be Large and Spacious and So Arranged That Good View Can Be
 Had From Dwelling.
(By w. J. WRAGG)

U.
 AS the ideal home of the mythical past was an Eden where flowers grew and bloomed in great profusion. and the trees were planted in great abun- dance, it suggests how the grounds about our homes should be adorned.
 The lawn should be large and spa cious and so arranged that good view from the house can be had at all angles. The house should be located as far back in the lawn from the road as possible.
 Evergreens can be employed to great advantage in making the back ground. and where room will permit. they should be planted with the large growing varieties like pine and spruce in the rear and then with others like hemlock, arbor vitae, etc., in proper graduation. Plant nothing directly in front of the house. but on the margins of the lawn. Arrange the trees by

tices the opening at the back of the nest and passes out into a different pen or alleyway. As she does so she raises this back door. which Is hung from the top on hinges. and string which passes over two spools lifts the front door and resets the latch, so that another hen may then enter the nest
 The only objection to this method of trap nesting hens Is that 1t is not possible to know which egg is laid by any one hen. but it is possible to know which hens are and which are not laying in the flock; and the hens can be credited with the number of eggs they lay. so that the poultryman may know which are his most profit. able birds, and can select them for the following years breeding flock.

At Newton. Mass, the other day two young people had narrow es- cape from drowning on account of the capsiZing of their canoe. The tele- graphed account says: The upset was caused by gust of wind striking the new chantecler hat which adorned Miss Larkin's head. The wide rim acted like sail" It was the wide Tim of the hat that did it-not the ornamental bird. Miss Larkin's peril would ave been equally great II in- stead of rooster she had worn a duck.

Successive Stages of Black Rot LesIons.

Extensive experiments give conclu- sive evidence that the black rot of the grape can be controlled conner cially by thorough spraying with mix lures properly made and applied.
 It has not been demonstrated that spraying will control the rot in ex- ceptionally wet seasons, but 1t will practically eliminate the rot in an average year. Consequently. it is strongly recommended that the grow CT make special effort to eliminate the disease every season. There will probably never come a time when spraying will not be necessary, but by this eliminating method the grower may be able materially to reduce the number of applications.
 The following suggestions are re- commended by the New York expert ment station as aids in controlling the rot

 First, with Bordeaux mixture 5-5-5O. at the time when the second or third leaf is showing.
 Second, with the same mixture be- fore the blossoms open
 Third. with the same mixture soon after blossoms have fallen.

My little son, when about vo,, and half old, began to have soras come out on his face. I had a nbvss clan treat him, but the sores gron worse. Then they began to come ort on his arms, then on other parts of his body. and then one came on b;a chest, worse than the others. Then called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk

grouping the different varieties and sizes of trees and shrubs together. This grouping or massing process on the border gives variety and pleasing effect. Small growing evergreens or dwarf shrubs can be employed to plant in the angles of walks or near the house. Plant all herbaceous and perennial plants along the walks, as they will not obstruct the view and at the same time add beauty to the sur roundings when they are in full bloom. As soon as blooming period is over most herbaceous plants die back to the ground. The tops can then be removed and there will be nothing left to mar the evergreen sward
