HOST AT BANQUET
RUNS into A SNAC

Last evening man about town
named Ed Campbell was arrested 70
defrauding an innkeeper. 1t is
claimed that on several occasions he
walked into Tom Five's Up-to- Date
restaurant, ordered meals and walked
out without settling. 1t probably look
ed so easy that he concluded to make
it good one. Last evening, taking
three friends, he went to the restau.
rant and ordered regular banquet
One by one the guests finished their
repast and started for the door, point
ing backwards to Campbell, who was
still seated at the table. Before the
last man had got through the door
Tom Sing politely asked Campbell if
he intended to settle for the entire bill
and received nod in the affirmative
When called upon to pungle, how.
ever, the liberal host of the banquet
admitted that he had no money, Civ
ing instructions to have the check ad-
ded to his account. This proved un-
satisfactory to the restaurant pro-
prietors and Campbell was taken into
custody by Deputy Sheriff Muller.
This morning defendant told Judge
Dunn that he would settle if given an
opportunity to communicate with a
friend, and he was allowed until 2
o clock to make good.
This afternoon Campbell confessed
his inability to settle the banquet bill
and he was given 20 days in the coun-
ty iail.

Yesterday Judge Dunn decided the
suit of Curnow VS.. McGinty in favor

mony Curnow who, in company with
his father-inlaw, Eggleston, conducts
a restaurant and second hand store on
Railroad street, some weeks ago trad
ed horse with McGinty for a tent
and certain articles of furniture. Thus
far there was no dispute as to the
facts, but from this point on there was
wide variance in the testimony. Cur
now and Eggleston swore positively
that McGinty agreed to pay so to
boot, while McGinty swore just as pos
itively that Curnow agreed to give
him the difference of $40.

Makes COnsumptiveS
Take on Weight
Swiss Remedy Builds Up Body and
Checks Disease.

There is a famous Swiss preparation
called Sirolin for the treating of Con-
sumption, which has lately been i'm
ported into this country, and which
has been known to add as much as
twelve to fifteen pounds to a patients
weight in a few months.
1t accomplishes this because, besides
checking the Tubercle germ, it agrees
with the weakest stomach, and aids
digestion to such degree that greatly
added nourishment is the result.
This remarkable remedy, which has
the Endorsement of the leading Special
lists of Europe, contains no harmful
or habit-forming drugs.
If you know of any one suffering
from Consumption you will be doing a
great thing for them by getting ad-
ditional information about Sirolin from
the Sirolin Company, 22s West Broad
way, New York city.
All leading druggists are recon-
mending and distributing Sirolin with
considerable success.

TO PROVE
WILSON'S REMARK
ABOUT EVERGLADES
Congressman Clark Of Flor.
ida Insists Upon Truth
of Statement.

Challenging Secretary Wilson to prove
he lad not admitted supressing a re-
port on the Florida Everglades, and de-
claring he was determined the Depart
ment of Agriculture should not form a
copartnership with land pirates. Con-
gresham Frank Clark of Florida today
answered from the floor of the House a
statement issued by the department last
night.
Rising to a question of personal privi-
lege, the Florida member read from a
morning paper which published Solicitor
McCabe's statement that Clark y
charges were prejudiced, one-sided, and
untrue"
Il can prove" shouted Mr. Clark,
that the Secretary of Agriculture told
nesses that he suppressed circular
letter which gave the facts about these
Everglades, and this suppression was at
the instance of persons engaged in sell
ing these Everglades lands.
IF the American people want to be
humbugged l am willing to allow them
to be, but not by copartnership be-
tween land spectators and pirates and
a great department of this Government.
The statement made before the House
committee that will investigate this
matter is true. ! am not accustomed

STEEL COMMITTEE
HAS FORECAST OF
DAY FOR LADIES
Homestead" Author Will
Be Misunderstanding.
( System Exposed.

Ladies' day before the Stanley Steel
Committee was forecast today, when
Miss Margaret Byington, of the Pitts
burgh Social Survey, appeared in an
swer to a subpoena. She will take the
stand tomorrow to discuss labor condi-
tons in the Homestead steel field. Miss
Byington is the author of a book on
Homestead.
Among the interested spectators at
todays hearing was Mrs Hargrave,
William jennings Bryan's younger
daughter, and several other women.
V. A. Olander, secretary of tie Lake
Seamen's Union, of Chicago, took the
stand when the session opened. He dis
cussed the attitude of the Pittsburgh
steamship Company, a subsidiary of the
Steel trust, which carries ores of the
trust on the Great Lakes. toward sea-
men employed on Steel trust vessels.
Olander attacked the welfare system
Of the Lake Carriers Association, which
is dominated by the Steel trust subsldi-
airy concern. This was scheme, Olan-
der said, to keep employees under cont oil
of the employing concern.
The welfare plan rests upon sys-
TEN of assembly rooms" said Olander.
These are located at ports where ship
ping Offices are located. One of the
conditions of admission to this organi-
zation is a pledge to discharge duties
without any reference to labor aftilia-
tons"
Olander described what he referred to
as a black list system, operated in
connection with the welfare plan. Men
employed by the Steel trust subsidi-
aries, he said, were given discharge
books when entering the concerns en-
ploy This book was for the purpose
Of allowing mates and captains of ships
to enter comments on the work Of the
men.
without this book" said Olander, "a
man could not secure work. This scheme
placed the men at the mercy of the
captains. A single entry adverse to q
mans capacity or willingness would end
his career as lake sailor. This sys-
tenn gives the captain a power over the
men, which is demoralizing. 1t operates
like a black list, a sort of ticket-of-
leave system, that keeps constant record
of a mans movements. This book is
turned over to the captain as soon as a
man sets foot on vessel, and unless
he behaves to the satisfaction of the
captain, his book is taken from him,
We have been on strike against this
system for two years, and have agitated
against It,"
