W|THDRAWS RULING
AGAINST PERKINS
Chairman Stanley Decides He Will
Not Demand Answers Regarding
Personal Campaign Gifts.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The shad
ow OF jail bars was lifted from George
w. Perkins, former lieutenant OF J. p,
Morgan, this afternoon. when Rep.
Stanley democrat. Kenrucky), chair.
man of the investigating committee on
the steel trust, reversed his ruling oil
yesterday and decided that he would
not demand that Perkins answer the
committees questions regarding his
personal contributions to political
campaign funds.
For his refusal Perkins was threat
ened until this afternoon with arrest
by the house officers and with jail
sentence for contempt OF congress.
With Chairman Stanley's reversal OF
his previous ruling II was decided that
the matter would be dropped and Per.
kins put on the witness stand for fur
ther examination late this afternoon.
During the executive session argu-
ment between Lindabury and Stanley
became so heated that their voices re-
verberated through the corridors.
Speculation as to the final vote on
the proposition OF haling Perkins be-
fore the bar of the house centered
largely about the probable attitude or
Rep. Littleton democrat, New York;,
whose views are not known. A single
vote will determine the issue, the COM
mittee being composed OF i've Demo
Gratis and four Republicans.
Stanley withdrew his ruling because
II became apparent that he would be
unable to secure the support OF the
full Democratic side OF the commit
tee. Rep. Littleton (Dem., N. " ar
gued that the resolution under which
the committee operates did not give
1t the power to demand such personal
Information.
The committee decided to call for
the minutes OF the subsidiary compa-
nies OF the steel trust and to enforce
their demand with the authority or
the house. Up to now the corporation
has refused TO comply with request
for these records.
The argument over the Perkins Inn
broglio was long and heated. Chair
man Stanley and the Democrats were
insistent that he answer the questions
put to him regarding campaign contri-
buttons, but, Attorney Lindabury and
the Republican committeeman were
just as strenuously opposed to forcing
him to reply. The committee was un-
able to complete the argument OF the
case and adjourned for luncheon with
out reaching conclusion.
Rep. Young Republican, Michigan).
ranking minority member Of the COM
mittee, who led the fight for Perkins
In the executive session, declared
when the recess was taken, that he
was convinced that Chairman Stan
ley intended to change his ruling
which required Perkins to answer.
Perkins was cheerful. but noticeably
nervous when he appeared. He shook
hands with the members of the COM
mittee while the steel yust lawyers,
Richard v. Lindabury and Edgar A.
Bancroft. held whispered confer
ence.
Chairman Stanley announced that
an executive session would be held to
consider the Perkins imbroglio and
the enforcement OF certain demands
for books of the steel corporations
subsidiaries.
Lindabury remained with the COM
mittee behind the closed doors, but
Perkins and Bancroft waited In the
corridor.

Into Another Campaign.

In for q fight all Of the time to

From Gov. Osborn's Inaugural
Message.
In view of the reports that Gov
Osborn may be forced through the
demands of the public to seek re-elec
tion. the liquor interests throughout
the state are already planning to pul
up stiff campaign against him. They
feel that he is their arch-enemy, and
that he must be relieved of the gov
ernorship IL they are to prosper, or
indeed, be not separated from theiI
means of livelihood entirely.
Ever since the governor gave utter
ance to his famous definition of tbs
saloon, the liquor forces have beer
up In arms against him. They re
garded his pronouncement as deadly
blow at their trade, and the leaders
In the fight against him are now said
to have almost every liquor dealer

feat, should he again come up fol

that the organized scheme will be fos

possible position to fight the Cover

On the other hand, the people whit
champion the cause of temperance anC
good citizenship. say the governor has
nothing to fear from the liquor men
that what opposition he may get from
them will be more than balanced b,
the friends he has made by his stant

G q . TO RIA

Mr.. J. II. Hale who grows fruit from
New England to Florida, sprays extensi-
vely with Lime-Sulphur against the San
Jose and other scale insects and says
1T cleans up the trees. Not only is It
sure death to scales but is also a good
fungicide killing disease spores, MOSES,
etc, and smoothing up the bark.
The demand for Lime-Sulphur has
grown so rapidly and competition has
become so great as to drive some manu-
facturers to cheaper their product, while
others produce a richer article, feeling
that the highest quality is really the
cheapest. Those who buy the best
quality spray but once in a season; those
who buy lower grades often have to spray
twice, but they choose the higher grade
the second time.
The Bowker Insecticide Co., whose
new plant at Baltimore Is completed, /
one of the oldest manufacturers of
spraying materials and make the highest
grade me-Sulphur. We advise every
one who grows fruit to write the Bowker
Insecticide Co., Equitable Bldg, Balti-
more, stating how many trees and what
kinds are to be sprayed and asking the
advice of the Company's experts, for
which no charge is made. They send
interesting literature free on request.

How Old People
May Prolong
Their Lives

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite fitful, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MIA, Rheumatism, etc.
VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
HERE Is THE PROOF
A case is recorded in Albany, n. Y, Of
q woman who felt she was breaking
down by age and was doomed to the
weak and feeble condition Of old people.
She had no strength and the slightest eX-
ertion tired her, but EINOL made her
well and strong, and she states that she
feels ten years younger than she did be-
fore taking VINOL.
We ask every aged person in
this neighborhood to try a bottle
of VINOL with the understanding
that we will return their money if it
does not prove beneficial.

A Curious Painting.

In Japan there is very famous paint
ing which no amount of money could buy
and which is the masterpiece OF a famous
artist who lived several centuries ago.
Viewing the painting in the daytime, one
is disappointed. 1t shows nothing more
than a very commonplace landscape I'M
relieved by mountains or hills. AS soon,
however, as night falls one begins to re-
alize the peculiar merit of the picture, for
upon the canvas there appears lumi-
nous water buffalo Caribou browsing
upon the grass at its feet. The artist who
painted this picture discovered certain
phosphorescent paint, which he obtained
from the bodies of certain molluskS or
fish, and with which he painted the buf-
falo that, invisible in daylight, is lumin-
ously brilliant in the dark. The secret
of making this paint died with the artist.
The picture, which hangs in Buddhist
temple, has proved fertile source OF
superstition, the priests claiming that the
buffalo hides away in the shade behind
some trees in the picture during the heat
OF the day, coming out at night to Craze.

rhs conerete Railway ne.

Now that the scarcity of timber is get
ting TO be serious m after in some paris
of the country, western genius has come
TO the front with a concrete railway tie
which promises to rev olutionize present
methods of railroad construction.
A recent article in New York paper
told an interesting story OF how one
George Gates, "a struggling inventor,
of San Jose, California, will enter the
muIti-millionaire class through the sale
of his patent rights to eleven great rallway
systems of the United States. The price
as reported is $l7,5OO,OOO. This is con-
crete evidence that the concrete tie IS a
good thing and will speedily come into
general use. A single machine will turn
out $500 ties day, or more than couio
be accomplished by an army OF wood smen
under the present slow and crude method
of hewing ties out of timber. This means
unauestionably the passing OF the wooden
tie. for if is patent that the concrete affair
can be made more cheaply and VIII last
longer.
II is claimed for the California mans
invention that if is as durable as the con-
crete used in the construction ofcity sky
scrapers. 1t is re-enforced with wire IN
such way as to give it resiliency. 1t
makes a smooth and firmer roadbed; It IS
not affected by hot or cold weather OF
rain or snow; it is impevious to the al
tacks of insects which are so destructive
of wooden ties, and it does not crack, peal
or split as does the wooden tie. In TACT,
for all practical purposes it is indestruct-
BILE and it would seem to be possible by
its use greatly to reduce the cost OF rail-
road construction and maintenance.
Metal railway ties long have been IN
use to a limited extent, but they are per-
ishable and are affected by heat and cold.
In addition they are costly. The inven-
ton of Mr.. Gates, of San Jose, if it is all
that is claimed for it, will "fill long-feit
want" for the American railroads.
