CUSED OF DEALING IN

NEW YORK Special-As

NEW YORK Special.-As a re-
suit OF the war started by former
Comptroller Metz, TO prevent the use
of substituted and adUlterated drugs
in the compromising of prescriptions.
James +. Gillen was arraigned before
Magistrate Mcclure, in the Gates
Avenue Police Court, Brooklyn. Gil
len did business under the name OF
the ONley Drug Company. He was
charged with having sold fraudulent
aspirin. He was paroled for eNami-
nation.
The agents OF Mr.. Metz discovered
that the headquarters OF the Oxley
Drug Company is a stable. a one
story frame structure, with a small
office at one side. The only name on
IT is that of "Gillen's Express Com
pany," but according TO the court
complaint. the Metz investigators on
August Sth bought a number of
medicinal preparations. and five
ounces of aspirin. They paid "a
cents an ounce for it, the market
price being IS cents.
The drug was in boxes practically
identical with those in which genuine
aspirin. is sold. The label bore the

| Anthony Gref, representing the

The drug that this man sold is
never used except on a doctors pre-
scription, and it is vital that the drug
shall be pure and in the riSht pro-
portion. We do not know how this
man operated, but we do know that
he sold this stun to number of
druggists"
! Among the letters Mr.. Metz has
| received is one from Henry L. Hill
a Brooklyn druggist. Mr.. Hill con-
/ tends that Mr.. Metz's charge that at
! least % per cent. of the druggists of
the city sell spurious drugs is a re-
| Election upon all druggists, and has
injured public confidence in them.
1t is pertinent. therefore. in your
campaign of publicity" he adds.
both for the sake of the public as
well as those druggists whom you
have pronounced as honest. that you
mention names"
Mr.. Metz has written to Mr.. Gref
stating that as many names as are
required to end substitution and
adulteration. will be published.
4 do not believe honest druggists
will be hurt" said Mr.. Metz. I'm

the whole trade will ultimately reap
a benefit that will last for years"

CONGRESS ADJOURKS

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Special
(Morningl-"The first train North,
leaving Washington after Congress ad-
Journs, Will carry President Taft to-
ward Beverly. That's all anyone
knows about the time he will leave
here for Massachusetts"
This was the answer of the Presi-
dents secretary to a query re-
garding the Presidents plans for quit
ting the hot streets for the GOODNESS Of
the summer White House.
No one at the White House knows
when the chief executive Will get of
because the adjournment of Congress
appears to be very much unknown
quality, and Mr.. Taft feels that he
can't leave while the National Legis-
lature is in session.
But it is safe to say that the longer
Congress drags out the session the
more impatient will be the President.
Washington at this season Of the year
is no summer resort and right now tho
capital is in the throes of one of the
hottest of the hot spells.

GIRLS AFTER JOBS

EGRAPH MESSENGERS is
ONLY y DREAM.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Special
Girl telegraph messengers; good for
small towns, not good for Washing
ton and other large cities.
That is the dictum of telegraph men
of the capital who were asked last
night if they thought employment of
girls to take the places of lads, those
swift-fOOted Mercuries, the cycling
allies of the acknowledgements wire.
But Pittsburg is a large city; isn't
it?" an inquiring reporter asked.
And Pittsburg is using it,"
BE Pittsburg large or small, say
girls would not do for messenger
boys" a positive telegraph man said,
smiling at his own Irish" Incident
ally, he did not altogether credit the
the report that Pittsburg was trying
out the messenger girl plan. In fact,
he scrubbed a mote" to Pittsburg ask
ing about it before he went farther
with the interview.
Girls, as a rule, do their work
better than boys" the positive man
admitted. They are generally more
conscientious and more careful. They
would not be so apt to be distracted
by collisions and fights and fuses
and other street sights, and-sO far
as physical ability would permit
they would be more prompt than boys.
Could Not Do Work.
But there the advantages of girl
messengers cease. The bad weather
we have in Washington would pre-
vent girls from delivering messages.
They just could not stand what our
boys have to endure.
1t is not necessary to speak of
their not being able to go to places
where messages have to go. We keep
our boys as far from doubtful places
as we can, but there are many mes
sageS that girls could not carry

ned with girl messengers. If we en-
ployed girls at such work they would
OF course nave TO wear a uniform of
some kind to distinguish them and
embarrassment they might feel at
having to go into mems private Offices
But the patrons would not be embar-
raised, and l think they would feel
quite as trustful toward girl messen-
gers as toward boys.
altogether, a girl messenger service
would be very picturesque, but I'd hate
to have to run one, but 1 do not think
d know how to start with girls, for
should feel at the beginning that 1 was
attempting the impossible"
Just then one of the swift-footed
MercurleS came running up to the
scene OF the interview. He gave a

Didn't I tell you so? Our Pittsburg
manager says, in answer to my note,
that they thought of trying girls about

How do you do, MIR. Owen?" said
Colonel Charles Il. Loehr. of this city,
stepping into the office of the Gov
ernor's private secretary on his
quadrennial trip.
Ben z. owen looked up from his
work-he was at work that day-and
greeted his old comrade. They en-
gagged in the exchange of remi-
niscences, MIR. owen holding his own.
Colonel Loehr, however, got back
DIT further than the genial secretary.
L was first appointed by Governor
kemper In 1874, and since that time
nave been named as a notary public
by every succeeding Governor. L want
TO get the same thing once more.
Funny thing happened when Kemper
was Governor. You see l had been a
member of kemper's Brigade, as a
member of the old First Virginia, and
when he heard that l was an appli-
cant he gave peremptOry orders to
have my commission made out. Some
of the men wanted TO hold it up, but
the Governor said that the commits
sion would issue at once, and it did.
we had a reunion scheduled while
Kemper was Governor and we tried TO
get the old City Hall for the meeting.
mere We're some 400 of us at that
time. Somebody raised an objection,
got lighting mad and he sent for the
officers of the Old First Association
anu Seiu bHdl he ulO not propose TO
stand FOR any Of the foolishness of the
men VINO refused to let US hold meet
ing there. He wound up by inviting
the association to meet in the Cover
nor Mansion, saying that they were
welcome, that they could stay as long
as they liked, and that If the old First
wanted anything else they could have
1t. That was the first and only time
the members of the association held a
reunion in the Governors home.
What L want to know now is
again. I have held the place for some
thirty-eight years, and 1 guess that is
a pretty good record for one man. Tell
the Governor for me what l want and
l will go away and stay till 1 want
another commission"
Colonel. you get that commission
for another term" said Mr.. owen, and
If any other Governor comes along here
and refuses to let you act as notary
public just let me know, and his case
Will be attended TO. OF course, you get
the comm issiOn."

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special.
No protest viii be lodged by the
State Department against the de-
cision of the Mexican Govern
ment to hang or shoot all rebels
captured in actual worfare.
The administration here con-
siderS that the sooner the revolt
is crushed the better for American
interests. Official Washington
considers. in addition. that the
outrageS of the rebels against wO-
men and children are more than
sufficient excuse for such a course
and from all indications here pro-
gresS of the revolution will be
series OF determinations. no quar-
ter being given on either side.
The rebels, apparently having
evaded the Gordon of Federal
troops which attempted to sur
round them. are making for the

as they go.
IL is not thought that they will
fight a pitched battle with the
better armed Government troops
unless actually forced to DO so.
