The top surface should not be al

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Tex, July 17.-Tnsect
damage in Texas cotton fields this
year will be materially lessened, it
is believed. Reports to the Houston
Chamber of Commerce from over the
Southern district carry little refer
ence to insect damage. What reports
that do come in are confined to some
south central sections where the boil
weevil Is reported in some localities.
The advices from the sec
ton in general are satisfactory,
but a general rain is needed in the
next few days. The temperature has
been satisfactory to the growth of
the crop. Other points in the south
ern states cotton belt have had good
rains during the week, Texas being
sighted.
A feature of the Houston produce
market which shippers will do well
to note is a change among many of
the dealers to deal in chickens by
the pound instead Of by the dozen. It
is believed the practice will become
general. Nor hern markets handle
chickens by the pound and quota
tons from those centers are fur
nished by the pound. Hence the
change Turkeys always have been
sold by the pound and chickens by
the dozen since the inception Of the
produce market. 1t is believed the
change will be welcomed alike by
tho farmers and other shippers.
Egg receipts are fairly liberal and
in demand with prices unchanged.
Fresh eggs are being handled at loss

There is a little demand for seconds.

ANOTHER SOLDIER OF THE OLD

OF all the sons Of the Old South,
who have fingered among the people
Of the New South, as representatives
of the Confederacy, perhaps none
have been more beloved and honored
than was Col. r. NJ. Wynne, the SUI
p%erintendent Of the Texas C|Onfeder-
ate Home, who answered the final
summons at Austin Monday. Col.
Wynne combined in his personality
those elements Of chiyalry and high
minded devotion 10 honor and duty
which marked the men who were the
leaders of the Confederacy in those
times when the South gave its best
blood in behalf of what 1T conceived
10 be its right. Ills passing viii be
mourned by the son and daughters
OF the c|onfederacy to whom the
fast lesscning remnant Of the
Confederate Veterans have stood as
representatives Of manhood and hon
or and valor and patriotic devotion.
Col, Wynne had the good fortune to
live until long after the last vestige
bitterness left by nat terrible
kricidal struggle had disappeared,

unity between North and
His peaceful end was typical

Friedman Shows tuberculosis
Cure

Berlin, Dec. 17.-Dr. Herman
Friedman, who says he has discov-
cred preventative and cure for tub
erculosis, today opened his first in
stitute for demonstration.
He inoculated with his serum sew
eral women, children and men, in
the presence of physicians and scien-
fists from Berlin, London and Paris
and other cities of Europe and Amer
lea.
DR.. Friedman still refuses to give
out any of his serum, saying that
from tiny drop Of il a bacteriologist
could propagate enough of the bacilli
to supply the world.
Many physicians brought their own
patients, and they closely watched
DR.. Friedman as he inoculated.
DR.. Friedman repeatedly filled a
hypodermic needle with the serum,
taking it from a small vial, which it
was noted, he guarded in his waist
coat pocket.
DR.. Friedman said results from
his serum begin to show in most
cases within five weeks.

The Butler Weekly Times WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond
ent of The Times.

By CLYDE H. Tavenner.
Washington, Dec. limited State:
Attorney General Wickersham ha:
refused to allow warrants to be
served on John D. Archbold ano
other officers of the Standard Oh
Company, in the case in which the
Magnolia Oil Company Of Texas, was
indicated by federal grand jury in
Texas for criminal violation of the
Sherman law.
Once again, Mr.. Wickersham is
using the machinery of the great Of
flee of the Department of Justice to
protect, instead Of prosecute, the mil
lionaire heads of illegal trusts.
A hundred instances could be cited
where Wickersham has, by means OF
especially prepared opinions, orders
and rules, given comfort to the great
industrial trusts, private monopolies
and special privilege. 1t was Wick
ersham, the attorney general, who
stopped important suits against the
beef trust Immediately upon taking
office. It was Wickersham, the at
torney general, who rendered an
opinion upholding Ballinger and vi
ciously attacking Louis R. CLAWS,
who said it was legal for sugar trust
interests to acquire by the exploita-
ton process IS, 600 acres Of rich sug-
ar lands of the Philippines when the
organic law of the islands expressly
declares that no corporation shall be
allowed to acquire more than $500
acres. It was Wickersham, the at
torney general, who sanctioned the
Taft administration railroad regula-
ton bill, later exposed and altered,
containing a joker legalizing the
Southern acific-Union Pacific mer-
ger, recently held unlawful by the
Supreme Court. II was Wickersham
the attorney general whose suit
against the steel trust is one in equity
instead of a criminal prosecution.
At the time Of the appointment of
Wickersham, it was said his selec-
don by Mr.. Taft was in recognition
Of the desires Of the great industrial
trusts Of the country, who had con-
tributsd large sums to Mr.. Taft's
campaign fund. and who ~ a return

Birds and Worms.

From Lfppincots's.
Once there were two birds. One
was an early bird and one was lazy
sort of bird which never got out
much before eight o'clock in the
morning.
The early bird caught a worm. The
early proverbmaker happened to be
there at the time and made note of
it.
Now, this worm that had been
caught had wife and ten children.
When the worm left home that morn
ing his ten children were just getting
up and his wife was preparing break
fast
No doubt this worm had gone out
for his morning walk to work up an
appetite for his breakfast. But such
are the uncertainties of life-he never
returned. The family of worms
waited and waited until about 8
O'Clock, and then, highly alarmed,
started out to look for Papa Worm.
At this time the bird that was a
lazy sort Of bird was just getting out
to look kor bite of something to eat.
1t saw the family of worms-and had
a fine breakfast.

ton, protesting against the seating Of
Dick T. Morgan, the successful can
didate, on the ground that the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the constitution of the United States
are null and void.
Foolish as this contention seems,
it is to be noted that Mr.. Carney has
just concluded a term as district
judge in Oklahoma City and is law
yer of some reputation. Besides, he
is in no wise grandstander, but a
man noted for fairness of opinion
and reasonableness of contention.
1t is commended by Judge Carney
that the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments are null and void be-
cause they were never ratified by a
two-thirds majority of the states of
the union. If, by any surprising
chance, this contention should be up
held, all the negroes in the country
would be deprived of the right to
vote until an amendment was regu-
larly ratified.
As Judge Carney is a democrat and
50 is the majority in the house, it is
evident his claims are made serious
". And there will be an unusual in
terest in noting the manner in which
the contest is finally settled.
The fourteenth amendment was
proposed June l6, 1855, and declar-
ed to have been ratified by thirty Of
the thirty-six states July %, 1883.
The fifteenth amendment was pro-
posed February 26, 1859, and de-

lawyer. For years and years he had
been receiving huge fees from cor
porations for interpreting the laws,
not from the view point of the wei.
fare of the people, but from the view
point Of the welfare of the trusts.
Mr.. Wickersham was a member OF
the law firm of Strong G Cadwalader.
Congressman Henry T. Rainey de.
scribed this firm on the floor of the
House Of Representatives as follows:
'The firm Of Strong & Cadwalader
is one of these important New York
legal firms to which great corpora
tons appeal for aid when they pro-
pose to violate the laws of the land
or when they have violated the laws
of the land.''
The firm of Strong & Cadwalader,
at the time of Mr.. Understands ap-
pointment as attorney general, rep
resented, among other great corpora
ton, the sugar trust, and one Of the
last things Mr.. Wickersham did as a
member Of the firm of Strong & Cad
walader, was to draw down his por-
ton of sugar trust fee of something
like $4,000. And one of the first
things Mr.. Wickersham did at At
torney General, was to write, on
June q, 1909, to John S. Wise, u.
S. District Attorney for the Southern
District of New York, letter reveal
ing his strong interest in three. sugar
trust officials then in danger of the
penitentiary. This remarkable letter
the authenticity of which has never
been denied by the Attorney General
reads in part as follows:
my Dear Wise:
Senator Root has sent me the
proof of petition signed by Bowers
Milburn and Guthrie, in support of
their contention that the statute Of
limitations has run in favor of Messrs.
Parsons, Nssel and Harmed. If the
only overt acts done to carry out the
objects Of the unlawful conspiracy
were those referred to in the brief, /
should think they were insufficient
to save the bar of the statute. A
strong effort will be made tomorrow
to persuade the President tn interfere
in some way to prevent the indict-+
ments. Faithfully yours
Geo. w. Wikersham."
