ST. MARTINS HEAD
 TO BE RETURNED

Paris, May 25.-The French govern ment today sent to England, Paul Leon, chief of the division of architecture, and Frantz Marcou, inspector general of historical monuments, to bring back the religious relic, known as St. Mar tins head, which J. Pierpont Morgan took to the French embassy at Lon- don on Saturday and committed to the care of Ambassador Cambon as a guest of France.
 M. Dujardin- Beaumetz, the under secretary of fine arts, asked MT. Nor gan here today whether he desired the bust to be returned to the commune of Soudeille, from which it was stolen or whether he wished it placed in the National museum.
 MT. Morgan replied 1t was for the French government to say what should be done with if, but added, inasmucf as Soudelle was so badly guarded that the treasure perhaps should not be re- turned to that commune. M. Dujardin- Beaumetz thereupon de- clared that 1t would be placed in the Louvre.

A Job For Uncle Sam

Jasper in Leslies.
 I do not blame the government for prosecuting violators of the antitrust law, but, in view of the notorious do- ings of mining, oil. wireless and other schemers who have been feecng the public right and left for years it seems to me that the government could have helped the people a good deal more by putting these swindlers out of business than it has by spending millions in the prosecution of the so-called trusts, with no substantial benefit to anybody Of course we all know that some public of- ficials love notoriety. They delight to get under the big headlines in the newspapers and the magazines. In the present frame of the public mind 1t is easier to do this by starting out to bust a trust'' than by prosecuting swindlers of tho everyday variety. I am glad to say that the postoffice department, under it's present administration, is after the postal fraud gang with a sharp stick. I hope it will keep the warfare up until the last one of the schemers ts put h jail.

CURTIS TEST|F|ES
 IN CRE0SOTE CASE
House Committee Continues Investigation of l>heged
 Duty Swindle

Washington, May 25.--Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury Curtis, who ordered customs Ncollectors last December to ad- init creosote at American ports free of duty, reversing a prior order by Assist ant Secretary Andrew, testified today be- fore the House committee Investigating the treasury department.
 Mr. Curtis said the order was an arbi- trary one of his own based upon the traiff law and to make uniform the practice in the ports of the United States relating to ereosote imports. In this order he said he had the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. To safeguard the govern ment, he added, the order provided that future entries of creosote containing more than l per cent of chlorine should be re- ferred to the department. Since the order he said no sucb entries have been re- ported.
 MT. Curtis told the committee of his conversation concerning the creosote mat ter with Allan l.. Benson, who had charged the government was losing mil. lions of dollars by the Curtis decision.
 "When MT. Benson was in Secretary MacVeagh's office" said MT. Curtis, q heard the Secretary say his brother Wayne had told him he thought the de- partment's decision in the creosote mat ter was right.
 Some time before that. just after Sec retary MacVeagh and had decided to re- verse MT. Andrews ruling in this matter, Wayne MacVeagh came into the room. He pulled some papers from his pocket and said:
 By the way, I have been asked to see you about this decision in the creosote oil matter. The decision is all wrong
 s'I interrupted him at once and said: MT. MacVeagh you needn't waste any time about that We've already decided that the ruling was wrong and have changed it..
 - That's good Wayne MacVeagh re- piled. Allow me to congratulate you. You are the first government official l ever met who was willing to reverse him self
 T told him I was not reversing myself and that I maintained MT. Andrew was wrong. I don't know who MT. Wayne MacVeagh represented or whether he had retainer. I assumed, knowing he had been counsel for the Pennsylvania rail road, that he probably came representing that corporation'

VIM. BRYAN STANDS FOR FREE WOOL

New York, May Civilian J. Bryan today reaffirmed his adherence to the doctrine of free wool, in connection with a report that Speaker Clark had caused him to change his mind in this regard.
 T wish to deny emphatically," said MT. Bryan that MT. Clark has ever tried to win me away from the doctrine of free wool. It is not so material wheth- CT the entire duty is removed at once or by degrees. I shall not believe that any considerable number of democrats can be prevailed to vote for tariff on wool. If the tariff is retained those who favor 1t, ought to be honest enough to admit they favor protection and quit talking about tariff for revenue only
 Congress has done we'll so far, but if those who favor protection can make our democratic Congress compromise on the tariff we may be rebuked as the repub- licans were last fall.'
