Mr. Scott testified that the largest

had knowledge was his own. amount
ing to $4,000 or $4,000
George W. Perkins, he said, had CIV
en- $4,000, but not to the national COM
mittee. Both contributions were used
in the West Virginia state campaign.
Mr.. Scott said none Of the "har-
vester people" had contributed to the
1904 campaign.
How about the Perkins contribu-

EIephant In Auto.

A Swiss residing at Siantar, in the
island of Sumatra, has written home
an account of the capture and trans
portation of young wild elephant in
a motor car by 3 resident of the town.
The elephant. which was well roped,
was driven to the nearest path in the
forest, and with great difficulty the
motor car arrived at the spot, kind
o. platform replacing the body. The
elephant was induced to mount the
platform and was strongly secured to
#. The trip to Siantar started, but
difficulties at once arose, because the
elephant. whose trunk was free, used
his proboscis to examine in turn the
chauffeur, the seats in front, the ma
chinerq, and finally the guiding
wheel. his last maneuver nearly upset
ting the car, which was brought to a
stop, as the journey was becoming
dangerous. The elephants trunk was
then strapped to his body and the car
arrived at Siantar without further in
cident. This is probably the first time
that a wild elephant has had ride on
a motor car.

MARTIN w. LITTLET0N ASKS
FOR TRUST LAW CHANGE
Files Report on the Steel lnVestiga-
tion-Wsnts Joint
Inquiry.

Washington, July 25.-Giving notice
to his Democratic colleagues on the
Stanley steel investigating committee
on Tuesday that he could not approve
their bill amending the Sherman law,
representative Martin w. Littleton OF
New York presented his opposition re-
port in a 5000 word supplemental
statement which will be Incorporated
with the general report of the com
mittee.
That left Mr.. Stanley with bur TWO
other members of the committee Oh
nine in complete accord with MIN.
They are Representatives Beall OF
Texas and McGillicuddy of Maine
Mr.. Littleton favors a joint BODY Oh
the senate and house to study the
trust question and the exclusion from
interstate commerce of corporations
in restraint of trade. He declines TO
support a proposed bill to put on a
corporation the burden of proving IL
is a reasonable" restraint of trade.
Such a bill, Mr.. Littleton says, would
preserve "the chief fault Of the Sher-
man law, which is the policy OF
belated attack after a concern has
grown up instead of providing any
means of prevention"
Mr.. Littleton discusses the bill at
length and has much to say of the
future of the question.

ANSWER THAT WON THRONE
Present GaekWar of 6aroda Owes His
Position to Confidence He Had
In Himself

The Orient is still the land Of the
strange and romantic. Straight from
everyday modern life in India comes
a story that might have been invented
by Scheherazade herself for the enter
tainment Of the Sultan. 1t is an ac-
count of how the present Gaekwar OF
Baroda won his throne.
IN 1875, after the Maharaja Malhar
RaO was depOsed, the council sought
a worthy member of the family as his
successor. Four sons of the house
lived in the city, but the council felt
that they were all too old and incom-
petent to become efficient rulers.
In a distant village, in a mud hut,
the council found a poverty-stricken
family Of the royal race. In this fam
fly were three sons, each of whom was
young enough to be nodded into ca
pable ruler After some deliberation
the council decided that one of these
boys should have the throne, but left
the selection to the Dowager Maha-
rance
Accordingly the three brothers-zGo-
pal, Dada and Sampat-were sum-
mOned to the city of Baroda. Shortly
after their arrival, they were admitted
to the presence OF the maharanee.
Her highness asked each in turn why
he come to Baroda.
The youngest was so awed and be-
wildered by the magniflcence of the
court that after smiling foolishly for a
moment, he burst into a storm of tears
and sobs
The next in age, who was more
stolid, did not behave so Historically.
He answered the query as any we'll
behaved Hindu lad of his age would
have done. He had come to Baroda,
he declared, because his relatives had
brought him there.
But when GopaI was asked the same
question, he airily responded:
Il have come to be the Maharaja
OF Baroda"
The maharanee and her councillors
with one accord decided that the
youth who gave this bold reply show
ed the most promise of becoming an
able ruler of his people. He was cho-
sen, and there has been no need to re-
gret the choice.-T. P.'s Magazine.

mines, at Evans station, three miles
north of Uniontown, following q
cloudburst on Wednesday, fourteen
men were drowned and thirty-six es-
capped after a narrowing experience.
The men were drowned about 1000
feet from the mouth of the mines,
their only avenue of escape. The ma
jority of the victims were married
and had large families.
Twenty thousand persons, residents
of the valley beneath the Cool Springs
reservoir, the largest in Fayette coun-
ty, are fleeing from their homes, fear
ing a repetition of the Austin disas-
ter. Water is sweeping from the Cool
Springs dam and it is feared that it
will not be able to hold the enormous
torrent of water which poured into
the reservoir
Dunbar is under 25 feet of water in
some places, and the majority of the
buildings in the place have been swept
away. Fears are also felt for the
safety of Mount Braddock, Lemont,
Youngstown and other mining and
coke settlements in the path of the
food
Connellsville, Pa, July 26.-Fffty
families are homeless and 100000
worth of property destroyed as the re-
suit Of cloudburst and food at Dun
bar on Wednesday. That scores of
lives were not lost is due only to the
heroic efforts of Martha Velth, a tele-
phone operator in Dunbar, who stayed
at her post when she knew flood was
rushing down upon the village and
warned one after another of the res
idents, giving them time to save their
lives.
Wheeling, W. Va, July 26-With

Wausau, Wis, July 26.-Heavy
rains have caused foods here and at
many other Wisconsin points, and the
loss of property is large. Damage
caused by the breaking of the big
Browak dam at Tomahawk aud small
er dams in the Wisconsin river north
of here is estimated at 100000. Part
of the cofferdam at Rothschild, six
miles north of here, was dynamited.
causing the flood to recede materially.
and 1t is expected normal conditions
in Wausau will soon be restored.
The Prairie river dam, five miles
north, is reported to have gone out, as
we'll as dam on the Eau Claire river
at Kelly. A report reached here to
the effect that dam at Merrill also
went out, but this has not been con-
firmed. Two city bridges were washed
out
The food made inroads on the wa
ter works plant here, and cut off the
city's supply, all electric power also is
off.
