charge Of using the mails to defraud
1t is said that over $1,000,00O worth OF
stock was sold by the company in
which Cove's partner was Elmer F.
Burlinghame, who is also under ar
rest. Not one Of the electric gener.
ators" was sold, 1t is said. They
were merely set up on the roofs OF the
company's offices for demonstration
purposes. 1t is charged that the pow.
erful electric current, with which the
demonstrators did many things, was

POPE WAS GIVEN
CAFFEINE TO-DAY
His Heart Action Became
Weaker and Physicians
Were Sent For.
(National News association

ROME, Aug. 12-Pope Plus heart
action became weaker today. Physi-
clans were hastily summoned to his
bedside and administered caffeine.
His Holiness suffered sinking spell,
following rally which had greatly en-
couraged his doctors and members of
his household Serious consequences
might have attended the relapse, 1t
was said. but for the prompt action Of
the vatican attendants In calling Doc
tors Petacci and Marchiafava to the
sick chamber.
The Pope's heart responded quickly
to the restoratives. The setback in his
condition was entirely unexpected as
he had shown favorable signs previ-
ously and the attending physicians
and members Of the Pope's family
were greatly encouraged. News that
the Pope's heart had failed him and
that injections of stimulant were
needed to restore him caused the
greatest gloom throughout the vatican
when 1t became known.
His holiness had sat up part Of the
night in an arm chair. He was nervous
and restless and evidently in pain but
bore up bravely without complaint.
DIR. Amici, who has been called into
consultation with Drs. Petacci and
Marchiafava was present during the
night
The Pope takes but little nourish-
ment. The heat is still oppressive and
those attending the patient believe
that should the weather get cooler, a
change for the better would at once be
noted.
Conflicting rumors are heard in
Rome concerning the illness of the
pontiff. The Italian newspaper Corri-
ere D. Italia states that the Pope has
been i'll since July 90. but that his in
disposition had been kept secret until
1T could no longer be concealed.
The Observatore Romano, an ofiicial
organ, states that the Pope's condition
Is improving slowly, although it does
not justify too much optimism for
rapid recovery.

After 8 Years Absence She
Got a Divorce.

Eight years ago Leota Gray OF
Fountain City was married to William
Gray and he lived with her just few
days more than one month. The nup-
tial knot was severed on Saturday by
Judge Fox as he needed little evidence
to convince him Of the abandonment
and the long period Of failure to
provide.
Mrs. Gray. who is stylish appear
ing woman, told the court she was
married on January %, 1908. and her
husband left on the twentysixth of the
following month. He represented he
was going to visit his father. For
eight years she waited for news from
him or his return, but in vain. Her son
aged eight, was placed in custody of
his mother.
In abandoning his wife and three
children, Milton e. Burgess Of Hagers-
town went into the government SER
yice-joined the navy in fact, and this
morning Judge Fox granted Mary Eli
zabeth Burgess divorce and custody
of their three children. Burgess, accor-
ding to her evidence, has used none of
his wages received from the govern
ment in meeting the expenses of the
family since his disappearance on De
cember 20, 1907. They were married
on October %, 1900.
Louie Embry, who was denied di-
vorce decree from Orlando Embry in
the Wayne circuit court several weeks
ago, will be given another hearing as
Judge Fox, has favorably decided on a
motion for a new trial

(National News Association)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-In sting
ing phrases a report prepared by Ed
gar A. Bancroft, general counsel for
International Harvester Company. in
troduced as evidence before the STAN
ley investigating committee today. re-
piled to the Townsend report to the
department of justice on the Harvester
Trust.
The reply brands the Townsend re-
port as grossly Inaccurate" in some
particulars, and absolutely untrue" In
Others.
"The argument and conclusion of
the so-called Townsend report are bas-
ed on clearly erroneous statements Of
well known facts" says the reply.
"The general inaccuracy of the report
10 shown by his misstatement even of
the names of the president and chair
man of the board Of International Har-
vester investigating committee, and of
the names of the holding trustees.
Nearly every complete statement
Of facts relating to the purpose of the
Investigation is either grossly inaccu-
rate or entirely untrue. The principal
charges and the true facts established
by the records and the testimony Of
trustworthy witnesses are as follows:
No Patent Control.
The fundamental charge of COM
bipation te create monopoly as Is
caused by the report on the charge
that the knotter and the self.binder
are protected by patents and that the
International owns the patents on all
Of the best types of knotters. The
truth II that therc 10 no patent what
ever on the essential parts of any type
Of knotter. and there |has not been
such patent In force since 1895, when
the Appleby patent expired"
The report charges that of nine of
the different types Of grain binders
purchased by the International all
but three types, the Deering, McCor-
mick and Osborne have been abandon
ed and that repairs are not furnished
for any others. This statement is no
toriously untrue.
A u0 IepOII CudE80 VI q UluueH-
kwine trust 10 without any foundation
whatever. The International not only
had then, and has had ever since, the
constant and vigorous competition of
the Plymouth Ccrding Company. and
half dozen smaller companies. and
also the competition of seven peniten.
2jary twine mills.
"The charge that little competition
In harvesters remained when the In.
ternational was organized and that
this has been largely suppressed. is
likewise remarkably untrue. 1t has
had continuously the vigorous compe.
tition OF many concerns. The charge
Of receiving rebates from railroads
and Of special concessions from the
U. 8. Steel Corporation. and of frau.
dulent practices are all alike untrue
The International returns to the u. s.
Steel corporation Is not different from
its returns from the competitors OF
the steel corporation. During the past
ten years It has bought from the steel
corporation only 10 per cent of its
eotal needs. while 1t has purchased 80
per cent from the competitors of the
steel corporation"

GLEN MILLER LAKE
FILLS UP RAPIDLY
Only Parts of 1t Navigable
for the Row Boats at the
Present Time.

The opinion is being expressed from
several sources that the attractiveness
of Glen Miller Park is rapidly on the
decline. The principal reason for this
situation seems to be that the city is
doing nothing toward adding new fea-
lures to the park, and consequently
there is little, il anything beside the
natural beauties of the municipal play.
ground, to attract the crowds. AL.
though everyone readily admits that
Glen Miller is an almost ideal spot
to go to keep cool or for picnlcs. many
would like to have more attractions
than scenery. The park can not even
boast of band concerts, a popular fea.
ture of the public parks OF practically
every city in the country. and the only
entertainment 1t affords ID q collection
OF few monkeys with their limitations
of human feats, a bear, some pigeons,
squirrels and wolves.
AS for the lake and the boats
which have been there for some time,
there is imminent danger Of both soon
becoming extinct. The lake is rapidly
filing up, and Supt. Hollern reports
that it cannot be dredged IL there is
not enough money left in the park
fund. Even in its present condition
the lake is navigable for the row-boats
only in parts. On the east side the sed
iment has collected clear above the
waterline, and affords a convenient
resting spot for the ducks.
Although the new bridge makes q
beautiful addition to the park from an
architectural viewpoint, 1t is regarded
by many as piece of extravaganza
The money which has been spent on
this alone could have been invested SO
as to secure many features which
would have attracted large crowds to
the park, some patrons say.
The city has shown itself rather neg.
ligent In caring for the sanitary con.
ditions at the place. The drains in the
pavilion have been so badly broken
for some time that all the refuse is col.
lecting there. 1t Is obviously the city's
business to make the repairs here.
One of the toilets near the pavilion
is disgustingly unsanitary The re.
freshment stand at the pavilion is well
managed, but the lack of demand pre-.
vents the serving of light lunches. II
is claimed that not enough people are
attracted to the park to make a res.
taurant feature profitable.
Many people keenly interested in the
park say it would be a comparatively
simple matter to put up few amuse
ments at the rear OF the pavilion
There could be installed at only a rea.
sonable expense. a roller coster, zig
ure eight" or some similar contri.
vance that would soon prove a great
thing for the Glen

Said Files Parade.
"'Tis pseudonym for water"
The Color Sergeant said.
For the contract for water
In few months will expire
And the air is getting hotter.
AS the people vent their ire
For the present contract is unfair
And the next is worse than that
But the people viii be heard from in the morning.
What makes the trouble seem SO hard?
Said Files Parade.
THE Company thinks it has cinch."
The Color Sergeant said.
What makes them think they have cinch?"
Said Files Parade.
They think the city is in PINCH"
The Color Sergeant said
But the editors and board Of works
Have sat up late at night
And have kidnapped all the "jokers"
That have dared to view the light,
And the people are In earnest
And will have their inning soon.
Or therell be something doing in the morning.
What is that noise on the street,"
Said Files on Parade.
THE tramp of meter members feet"
The Color Sergeant said.
"And do they charge for meters here?"
Said Files Parade.
Indeed they do, three bones year."
The Color Sergeant said.
For they charge for the water
And the meter (Which is queer)
And they look the meter over
Every other second year;
But the people have arisen
And have turned things inside out,
So therell be new contract in the morning
"And will the people win the fight"
Said Files on Parade.
"They surely will. for they are right"
The Color Sergeant said
what will the Water Company dor"
Said Files Parade
Get fair returns, 'twixt me and you"
The Color Sergeant said
For the present contract is unfair
And the city has chance
To secure rate that's reasonable
If they only use the lance
To cut out all the "jokers"
Which the Company shall insert;
Then the people will be satisfied
And no one will be hurt,
When the new contract is made In the morning.
