not make himself an entire suit of

without their amateur origin being
detected. Goodhart won.'

Attack Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood
pure the white corpuscles attack
disease germs like tigers But
often germs multiply so fast the
little fighters are overcome. Then
see pimples, boils, eczema, salt
rheum and sores multiply and
strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bi tiers

Joss sticxs.

The composition Of the candles called
joss sticks, which are used in all the
religious ceremonies of Buddhism, for
long time remained a mystery, the
preparation of the sticks being intrust-
ed to certain persons chosen from a
limited class. Not long ago. however,
French chemist learned TIE manner
of making joss sticks in lido China.
A stem of bamboo is rolled in prep
aration containing fourteen different
odoriferous drugs. two Of which are
significant as showing knowledge of
chemical and physical properties.
These are aconite. which serves to
protect the sticks against the attacks

Increase In MaryIand's Coal
Output.
Output.

Ihe production OF coal 10 Mary
land in 1910 was 5;217,125 short
tons, with spot value OF S., S35,
COS, according TO statistics collected
by the United States Geological
Survey. Maryland, like Virginia,
benefited Indirectly from the six
months strike among he miners il
the Central or Mississippi Valley
States. Owing to the shortage of
fuel in the Western States a large
amount of West Virginia coal,
particularly from the southern part
of the State, was diverted from The
seaboard to the temporarily more
profitable markets in the West.
Profiting by this diversion, Vir
ginia's production, shipped princi,
pally to Lambert Point piers near
Norfolk, increased over 1850, 900
tons, or 81 per cent.
Maryland's coal production,
which because of the approaching
exhaustion of the famous big
vein," had been showing declin.
ing tendency for the last two years,
was also given an impetus by the
trade conditions in 1910 and in.
creased from that OF 1909 by
n, 1913, 1874 tons, or 29.67 per cent.
The value increased 81, 362, 327, or
80 5 per cent.
HIGH EFFICIENCY of MINERS.
The coal mines of Maryland gave
employment in 1910 to $500 men,
who worked the unusually high
average of 270 days, and although
~ per cent of Maryland's tonnage
is hand mined the average produc-
tive efficiency of the miners is con
siderably above the mean average
for all the States. In 1910 the
average production for each man
employed was S9S short tons for
the year and 1888 tons for each
working day. No labor troubles
were reported in the coal mines of
Maryland in 1910. The mines are
operated 10 hours day.
MARYLAND COAL DISCOVERED in
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
Although coal was discovered
in the Georges Greek basin as early
as 1882, the first eastern shipments
from the Maryland coal district
were not made until 1880, when
small quantities were transported
by barges down Potomac River.
The first company was Incorporated
in 1886. After the construction of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, ia
1912, and of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal, in 1850, the output
from the Maryland mines increased
rapidly.
Maryland and the adjoining
counties in West Virginia which
make up what is known as the
Cumberland region constitute the
only districts outside of the an
thracite region of Pennsylvania
where records of coal production
have been kept from the earliest
years. On deducting the total ex-
haustion from the original supply,
it was found that at the close of
1907 there still remained in the
coal fields of Maryland 1902, O0O,.
900 tons, which is 1,40O times the
production of 1910 and over 900
times the exhaustion represented
by that production.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
SPECIAL DAY IN CHICAGO

moyal of the duty would not lower its
price in our markets, except as GER
tain kinds were affected by its peculiar
conditions. However, it might not fol.
low that consumers in this country
would not benefit from it. The by.
products of wheat, such as bran, mid
dlings, ETC., are not sold ON a world
wide basis, and with a greater amount
of wheat to draw from, the great and
economically managed mills would be
able to work a reduction through
greater consumption and added profits
from by-products.
"The cheapening of pulpwood and
lumber which surely would follow the
removal of the duties, would directly
benefit a large percentage of the peo-
pie in this country, entering as they
do as raw material into the produc-
ton of goods of universal use.
"The effect of the proposed reciproc-
ity agreement upon the economic geo.
graphy of this continent is of the
greatest importance from the stand
point of the cost of living of present
and future generations. 1t would be
impossible to estimate the effect of
the free trade between ou rstates upon
the cost of living, and it is equally i'm
possible to state definitely the effect
in this particular of the proposed reci-
procal trade agreements with Canada
But in neither case can there be any
doubt regarding the magnitude and
scope of these effects or regarding
their direction.
"As an instance, in the meantime
the price of timber is soaring and must
continue to soar unless we can take
advantage of Canada's big and almost
untouched supply"

DELANEY DENIES GIVING
VOLUNTARY STATEMENT

Muskogee, Okla, June 5.-John De-
laney, denied Sunday that he had CIV
en- voluntary statement Saturday
night stating that he had been hired
by the McNamaras to locate spots in
structural steel buildings where dyna-
mite could be placed to destroy build
ings built by nonunion labor A de-
tective said that Delaney had con-
fessed to him that Delaney had given
John Mcnamara maps and blueprints
of buildings that afterward were de-
stroyed. Delaney says the statement
that he was alleged to have made was
dictated by the detective and, although
signed, was not sworn to. 1t does not
contain any statement that he assisted
the McNamaras in dynamite work, De-
laney says.
The detective who obtained the al
legged statement has been discharged
by the detective agency that employed
him and the police are looking for him
today. Delaney admits that he did
tell certain persons that he believed
he had information that might be of
use in the Mcnamara prosecution, but
he was not implicated.
Chicago. H.. June 4.-Chicago po-
lice discredit the purported confession
of John Delaney in Muskogee, Okla,
Saturday in which he said he had, at
the direction of John ]. Mcnamara,
secretary and treasurer of the Inter-
national Association of Bridge and
Iron Workers, selected buildings in diff
ferent cities for destruction by dyna-
mite, among them being a viaduct in
Chicago, which was, he said, blown
up in February, 1907 Examination of
police records disclosed no record of
such an explosion in that year.

upon the Kitchin resolution, which
says merely that the Underwood bill
does not represent a departure from
that policy. Inasmuch as the bill does
not give free wool, and because many
contend the doctrine never was legiti-
mately Incorporated into democratic
policy, the answer, conservative DEM
ocrats say, is quite plain. In other
words. the decision is that a success
full tariff programme must justly ar
bitrate between the fair needs of the
public and the fiscal necessities of the
government. The doctrinaries have
gotten a severe licking.
The tariff outlook N the senate is
made much smoother. Senator Bailey
of Texas, hitherto an insurgent among
democrats on the tariff, indorses the
Underwood bill Unanimous demo
cratic support in the senate seems GER
tain, and the prospects are that the
republica insurgents will be compell-
ed to fall in line Passage of the wool
bill at this session is possible.

INDIAN ON TRIAL
ONMURDER CHARGE
Defense Will Attempt to Prove Du-
shane Was Killed BY Accident
Last Criminal Case.

When the Bert Doublehead murder
case, pow on trial, is finished, the dis
trict court will take up the civil doc
ket. A new jury was impanelled to-
day to hear the civil cases, the old
panel, having been exhausted.
The Doublehead case will probably
be finished this afternoon. The state
completed its evidence before noon,
and it is said the defense will only in
troduce one witness, the defendant
who took the stand in his own behaff
this afternoon. The state charges
Doublehead with the killing of Franz
Dushane, at the home of the former,
few miles west of Vinita. Dushane
was killed by a revolver in scuffle
with Doublehead, and the defense will
claim that the killing was accidental
The defense may also attempt to
prove that Doublehead believed that
he was about to be attacked, when he
secured the gun, for the possession of
which resulted the scuffle in which
Dushane was killed.

which was thrown into the hands OF
the court by reason of the San Fran

The draft represents the last receiy.
er's dividend paid to those having
claims against the company. The to-
tai amount of dividends that have been
declared is 74.90 per cent. There is
nothing to indicate how the company
became indebted to Oklahoma, as the
draft is made in favor of Oklahoma
territory. An examination of the ter
ritorial books will probably disclose
why the company was indebted to Ok.

canadian reciprocity seems to JUS

This is not a question to be set

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.

A most sensational incident in con-
nection with reciprocity occurred be-
fore the senate finance committee last
week. Allen & Graham, a firm of pro-
fessional lobbyists of New York, were
alleged to be attorneys for the Nation
al Grange. They were brought be-
fore the finance committee and it de-
veloped that they were not attorneys
ut all. They were professional lobby
lists. Their business is to promote or
prevent legislation. The big trusts and
Imonopolies have been using the Grange
and its organization to fight reciproc-
ity and to prevent any reopening of
tariff revision. Mr.. Allen of this firm
was compelled to admit on the stand
thGt the agent of the lumber trust, the
agent of the pulp and paper trust, the
agent Of the wooden trust and the
Protective Tariff League had all
agreed to contribute to the expenses
of the campaign by the firm among the
farmers to defeat reciprocity The
cloven foot was thus revealed. The
fine Italian hand of the trust magnates
was thus laid bare. Allen & Graham
were to arouse and infiame the farm
ers against reciprocity and the big
trusts were to pay the bills. The farm
ers were to be used as a shield and as
a buffer to prevent any revision of the
tariff. An appeal was to be made to
their interests. They were to be con-
vinced that reciprocity would injure
them, with a view to protecting the
lumber, paper, woolen and other trusts
Allen & Graham on one occasion, it
was admitted had represented the
whiskey trust and on another occasion
one Of them had represented the STAN
dard Oil trust as lobbyists.
The Wool Schedule.
A rather spirited exchange of COM
pliments has taken place between Col.
Bryan and Mr. Underwood, the house
leader, respecting the wool and wooden
schedule. 1t is believed that the crit
ical situation respecting this schedule
has materially impaired Speaker
Clark's chances for the nomination.
Democrats are disposed to eliminate
every candidate about whom there is
a bitter factional fight and nominate
man on whom practically all factions
of the party can unite. 1t is believed
by many that Woodrow Wilson more
nearly answers this requirement than
any one else.
Lorimer's Election to Be Investigated
Again.
The progressive democrats and pro-
gressiye republicans, including the Ok
lahoma senators, have forced reopen
ing Of the Lorimer case in the senate.
The fight was sufficiently aggressive
to insure a thorough-going reinvesti-
cation of the Lorimer bribery charges
and to insure that full justice will be
meted out by the senate when the case
is finally voted on again.

STATEMENT or FUNDS TO
CREDIT OF CHEROKEES
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

That they have to their credit in the
United States treasury a considerable
sum of money is well known to the
Cherokees, but the average member of
the tribe can form no accurate esti-
mate of that sum. For their informa-
tion W. w. Hastings, national attor.
ney for the Cherokee nation, has re-
ceived from the Office of Indian affairs
a statement showing the condition of
the different Cherokee funds. This
statement is of date of May %, and

follows:
