Down In 1908 Until
Bills Came.
BRYAN BEING BEATEN,
1T WAS THEN TAKEN
J jader Had Previously Ordered
= That Corporation Funds
Be Declined.

That Col. James Guffey, of Penn
sylvania, offered to contribute $4,000
to the Democratic national campaign
In 1908, but was refused because he
was considered Standard Oil repre-
sentative. but that the money was ac-
cepted after the election, when it was
found the committee was in the hole
and needed funds to pay bills, were
statements made today by former
National Chairman Norman e. Mack,
of Buffalo.
Mr.. Mack was before the subcom-
mittee Of the Senate headed by Sena-
tor Clapp, which is investigating
Campaign contributions of the 1904
and 1908 campaigns.
Was First Refused.
Mr.. Mack's explanation of his attitude
toward the proffered contribution of
Colonel Guffey, the old Democratic war
horse Of Pennsylvania, was Interesting.
Colonel Guffey offered the committee
5000 before election" said he. 'He
wanted me to take a contribution and
said 1t was the first time in his life
he had not contributed. l said would
like to accept II, but couldn't"
In answer to questions Of the commit
tee. Mr.. Mack said he refused the money
on the theory that Colonel Guffey repre-
sented Standard OIL.
After the election" he added, II ac-
cepted the money. I felt that, II Mr.
accepted 1t. AS he was not elected and
Colonel Guffey wanted to help the party
by paying the bills, ] accepted the
money. He indicated when he gave It
that 1t was his personal contribution"
Bryan Made Objection.
Mr.. Mack, before telling Of the Guffey
contribution, told of the fact that after
the Denver convention the committee
met at Lincoln and decided not to take
money from the corporations and be.
as chairman, had-a talk with Mr.. Bry-
an, who wanted no money taken from
corporation sources. Mr.. Mack said he
made up his mind to live up to this.
AS to the Guffey money, he felt that,
in taking 1t after election, he was not
betraying Mr.. Bryan, inasmuch as he
Hdu HOt DeSH eleCteu.
In general, he said he had determined
to take no money that would put him
under obligation to corporation men
after the campaign.
Receipts in 1908.
Mr.. Mack verified the statement of
the 1908 receipts and expenditures re-
Gently presented by Herman Rldder.
This showed contributions of $500, ,644
Mr.. Mack said he knew there was no
other money received. 1t came from
over 100, 900 subscribers.
Murphy, said Mack, was the largest
single contributor. He gave $4,000.
Former Senator w. A. Clark of Mon
tana gave 5000 to the national COM
mittee ard 5000 to the State campaign IL
in New York. ..
Speaking OF the fact that moSey
could have been had that was not taxi
en-, Mr.. Mack said he was told every
day of money that could be had for
asking it. The only big contribution
which was turned down, so far as he
recalled. was Colonel Guffey's.

Final Rout of Insurrectos
On, and Peace Is Be-
... lieved Near.

sReports ftom consuls In Mexico to-
day., and from army officers along the
border indicate that the final rout Of
the rebels is now on. The insurrectos
are fleeing in all directions. and the
federal troops, advancing from the
SOUTH, are having little difficulty in de-
feating the demoralized- bands of Or
ozcos army. ,
The State Department late in the day
was informed by the consul at Mon
terey that General Huerta, command
ing the government troops in northern
Mexico, passed through Monterey on
his way to Chihuahua.
Capture Rebel Leaders.
Monterey Is quiet, and similar con-
dttions exist in the Casas Grandes
region. But in Frontera, where the
bands of marauders are scattered, the
federals have captured the majority Of
the rebel leaders.
From Ciudad Juarez it is announced
that train bearing the wounded and
disabled soldiers of General Salazar's 9
army, which was defeated several days
ago, has arrived there.
1t is impossible to predict Orozco's s
next move.
Mormon colonies and Ell Paso has
again been interrupted and the rail-
roads have sustained heavy damage.
Dispatches from Nogales state that
800 rebels have appeared fifty miles
southwest of Ague' Prieta, at which

This has happened several times In the
last few weeks. but no shots have taken
effect.
AS a consequence of the latest occur

Three battles took place in the vicinity
of Gilita yesterday In which ten rebels
were killed and many wounded. The

Appointments are being made this
month by the United States commission
er of education, p. p. Claxton, to fill
vacancies in the Alaska division OF the
Bureau Of Education, and teachers are
starting from various points in the
country for Seattle, whence they will
take ship for Alaska to travel from sea-
port there far into the interior and up
beyond the Arctic circle In a number of
cases.
Although pay of these teachers Is not
more muniicent than that Of teachers
elsewhere. and that is to say that 1t is
pretty low, there is no lack Of applica-
tions for the service. and Mr. Claxton
has between 600 and 700 names on his
eligible list. with about thirty vacancies
to fill.

A teacher for the Alaska division must
needs be qualified in number Of ways
which the ordinary pedagogue is not.

PROPOSED LAKE GEORGE SER
VICE-1013.


The growth OF the travel to the
various landings on Lake George and
the enormous development OF the
thorough tourist travel has led in re-
cent years to notable increase in
the capacity of the steamers on
that lake. In 1910 new steamer
Mohican with considerable addi-
tional capacity replaced the former
boat OF that name; during the year
of 1911 new steamer Horican, one
of the finest lake craft in commits
sion on any inland water was put in
service and during the season Just
closed replaced the steamer Saga
more on the through line, with
steamer Sycamore taking the place
OF the old Horizon.
In addition to these larger ves-
sells, two fast motor boats, the Pam
pero" and the "Mountaineer" have
been recently added to the feet and
perform local service between
various landings adjacent to Lake
George village and the Fort William
Henry Hotel
In order to keep abreast of the
demands and with a desire to con-
tinue improving the service, the
transportation officials are planning
some changes Tor 1913. The most
important of which provides for an
additional trip of the steamer Mo-
hican in the morning on arrival of
the trains from Albany and Troy to
serve points in Kattskill Bay. The
Mohican will leave Lake George sta
tion on arrival of the trains from the
south, proceed at once making land
ings at Assembly Point, Cleverdale,
Rockhurst, Grove House and Trout
Pavilion. The through line steamer
Horizon will follow and run direct
to Marion, making all landings north
thereof including Glenburnie and
Glen Eqrie-similar service being
operated on the return trip.
This will give some additional
running time, thus providing neces-
sary elasticity in the schedule to per-
NIT of longer stops made necessary
by the growth of the travel and the
handling of the additional baggage
and express. Persons stopping at
points in Kattskill Bay should ap-
preciate this additional special ser
vice. People destined to Marion
House and points north will also
share in the improved service by an
earlier arrival at destination.

MAXIM KILLS ANOTHER NOISE.
Invents Device for Silencing Motor
Boat Engines.

Hartford, Conn.-Hiram Percy
Maxim, Jr., of this city, son of Sir
Hiram, has added to his slencers for
guns, motorcycles, statiohary en-
gines, rock drills and locomotive
safety valves, a motor boat silencer.
1t is largely an adaptation of the gun
silencer. AS in the latter a set of
disks is arranged to start the es-
Gaping exhaust gas, whirling around
as water whirls in running from a
sink bowl. At a distance of thirty
feet not the slightest exhaust popping
can be heard in the biggest motor
boat engines. The device measures
from twelve to twenty-nine inches,
according to the amount of work it
is expected to do, and weighs from
twenty to thirty-four pounds.
Mr.. Maxim is working on a silencer

GASES FOR KILLING INSECTS.

A journalist from Ohio wrote to
DR.. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist,
Harrisburg, and asked Does cyanide
of potassium fumigation for the de-
struction of bedbugs have any value
in the matter of destruction of germs
in general?
The reply of State Zoologist Sur
face contains information which has
not generally been made public, but
which is of practical value in these
days of fumigation for various pur-
poses. This is as follows:
Hydrocyanic acid gas is not rec
ommended as a germicide, and is
probably not as valuable for this
purpose as the gas from formalde-
hyde, which latter on the other
hand, is not an insecticide. Many
persons have often wondered If
either sulfur fumes or farmalin gas,
as used in dislnfecting rooms after
sickness, would also clean up the
insect pests therein. AS rule they
will not do so, but If proper fumiga-
ton with hydrocyanic gas is given,
as directed in one OF the Bulletins
previously Issued by the Division of
Zoology, of the Department of Agri-
culture, and which is sent free upon
request, there is no danger whatever
of the worst of household pests es-
