[UxfrED PRESS LEASED wrlH.l

Washington, May 31.--Attorney-
General Wickersham testified today
before the house committee appoint
ed to investigate the expenditures Of
the department of justice. He said
that Henry Taft, brother Of the pres
ident, as a member of the law firm
of strong and Cadwalader, acted
upon one occasion as counsel for the
American Sugar Refining company
(the trust.)" His fee, said the at
torney-general, was turned to the
firms account, of which he (Wicker-
sham) was a silent member. His
own share of this fee, Wickersham
testified was $4,000.
Henry Taft, said the attorney-gen-
eral, later was retained and appeared
as special attorney for the govern
ment in the prosecution of the licor-
ice trust and the affiliated tobacco
trust.
After he himself left the firm Wick
ersham testified, John Henry Ham
mond became affiliated with it and
subsequently represented the sugar
trust in the purchase of the Friar
lands in the Philippine.
The witness declared that when he
rendered the opinion permitting the
sale of the Friar lands to the sugar
trust he was not aware that Ham
mond was representing the trust.
Wickersham declared that between
the years 1905 and 1909 he had on
several occasions acted in an advis-
ory capacity to the steel trust.
The government, he said, had ac-
cepted the restitution made by the
American Sugar Refining company
in the matter of fraudulent weights
on imports, but had made no attempt
to enforce the penalties for violating
the law. The attorney-general said
this had not been done because he
felt that the government had insuf
ficient evidence.

A Dramatic Execution.


San Diego, CAL, May 32.-Follow-
ing the execution Of Captain Francis
co VIA at sunrise, 1t was learned
that General Pryce and his aide, Cap
tain Hopkins, were missing from the
camp.
Whether Pryce had left the rebels
for good, whether he had gone to the
Los Angeles junta on business, or
whether he had met with foul play
was questioned by his men. It is gen.
orally believed that Pryce has gone
to Los Angeles. Most of the white
officers of the force, it was reported,
also had left camp. Pryce and his Of
ficers, 1t was said, had learned they
were to be replaced by Mexicans.
Viza's execution was quite dra-

GOOD ENGLISH

Governor West today received a
communication from William Stone,
an Indian on the Siletz reservation,
asking that the name of the captain
stationed at Siletz during the Indian
outbreak be sent to him so that he
may communicate with him.
Stone was one of the first Indians
to take up his abode on the reserva-
ton, and is designated as one of the
treaty Indians. He was power
among his people and during the out
break did valuable service in quell-
ing it and restoring peace,
He is an excellent penman, uses
good grammar and pure English,
and the letter as a whole stamps him
as a man of considerable education.

THE RoLLER-TOWFU TO GO.

II the Investigations that DR.. Crum-
blne Is making bring forth the results
he is sure they will, it Is likely that
the state board of health will sit in
solemn conclave soon and decide that
the roller-towel In more or less public
lavatories has out-lived its usefulness.
1t will be ordered to the rag-bag.
That is where it properly belongs.
Certainly almost every one, who
stops to think about the. matter at
all, will agree that the roller towel in
hotel, boarding house, a railway
station, or in other public and quasi
public places, where it has been a fix
ture since the travellers in the May
flower landed on Plymouth Rock. is
fraught with terrible possibilities as
a spreader of disease.
1t is equally as inimical in this re-
spect as is the common drinking cup
which has been out of commission in
Kansas for some time now and which
is being tabooed in other localities as
they are gaining in wisdom. 1t is
also almost on a par with that beast
of bird. the fly, except for the diff
ference that you tackle a roller-towel
of your own volition, while a fly can
be depended upon to get in his fine
work on his own hook and generally
when you don't happen to be looking.
But in many instances it has been
case of using a roller-toweI or doing
without clean hands and face, or talk
ing one of those drys that was always
so popular because of its necessity at
the old swimmin' hole.
One cannot help shudder at the
thoughts of some of his exper-
fences with roller towels. And now
that the real danger lurking in them
has been pointed out, one can but
wonder why it was not done long ago
and why the public roller-towel has
been tolerated these many years. Still
there is many a place that will lose
its familiarity, that will be as
strange corner when the roller-towel
is taken down. A few tears will prob
ably be shed at it's demise by the alb
normally sentimental. But the sound
ing of it's death-knell is another step
of progress in the right direction. It
is another victory in the big battle
that is being fought for the conserva-
ton of our greatest of natural re-
sources-the public health.

1.-THE CUP OF DEATH"
Chicago is the latest city to wage
fierce warfare on the common drinking
cup, which bids fair soon to be abol-
ished by stringent legislation.
They tell the most amazing tales
about the spread of contagious dis
eases by means of cups used at public
drinking places. Fortunately. the
remedy is easy and cheap. Simply
have a cup of your own. How lucky it
is not an automobile or a steam yacht!
Most of us can get cups.
We are almost in sight of the time
when science and sanitary. regulation
will conquer diseases which formerly
swept thousands from the earth. as
they still do in China. Then there
will be more people than ever to pro-
vide for, and greater pressure on the
sources of existence.
What then?
Why, If the doctors are going to
keep us alive the economists and
statesmen must invent ways to keep
us comfortably housed, clothed and
fed.
The battle to abolish the "cup of
death should go hand in hand with
the battle to provide the bread of life.
