BROKER ADMITS
FRANK X. STURGiS MAKES
STARTLING STATEMENT Be
FORE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
OPPOSED TO SHORT SELLING
Former President of Exchange Swears
Many Sales are Merely Games of
Chance-Some ManipuIations Legi-
timate-Condemns Short Selling.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Frank X
dent OF the New York stock exchange
today told the committee of the
house that is investigating the money
situation in the United States that
place, and that many OF the short
sales are gambling transactions pure
and simple.
Personally he is opposed to short
gency to protect a customer. He al
so said that some manipulation of
stocks is legitimate, and would not
comment upon the light sentences in
flicted upon brokers who engineered
the Rock Island deal, by which many
persons were ruined.
Failed to Get Information.
Three members of the committee
We're on hand when the session be-
gan.
Mr.. Untermyer endeavored to draw
rom MI. SturGis an estimate of the
amount OF business done on the New
York stock exchange annually, but
was unsuccessful. The lawyer read
from the answers furnished by the
exchange to questions OF the Hughes
commission an estimate of yearly
business amounting to 19G,000,OOO
shares of stock.
Mr.. Sturgis said he believed the
figures 10 be about right.
'Now, on that 196,00O,000 shares
the brokers doing the trading re-
ceive 25 cents a share in commits
SIGN. II IL cents on each side of the
transaction. do they not?' asked Mr..
Untermyer
mo. because some of that specula-
ton is by brokers for themselves,
and on that there. is no commission,
answered Mr.. Sturgis.
Mr.. Sturgis said that about one
third of the trading was done by the
brokers.
Then about 131, 100000 of shares
are bought and sold by the public.
About that"
Mr.. Sturgis said there are about
400 or 500 active brokers on the ex-
change
Commissions on Par.
Commissions, he said, were charged
on the par value of stock without
regard to the market price.
Mr.. Untermyer took the question OF
short sales. The witness explained
that "short selling was the practice
of selling stock not owned by the
seller for the buy-in later at lower
price.
The object is to make money on
break in the market by selling what
you have not got; isn't that So"
yes" replied Mr.. sturgis.
Mr.. Sturgis said that he believed
il proper for a broker in times OF
panic to protect himself in short
sales. if he were holding lines OF
stock for which there was no mar
ket.
do you believe short selling JUS
tifiable in normal marketg
THAT is a question between every
man and his own conscience

A New Remedy for Skin
Troubles,

Many skin troubles are not caused by
the blood, as most people think. Ex-
ternal treatment is therefore the most
direct and rational way to effect cure.
A chemist who was convinced of this
fact found that an extract of the plant
Juniperus Oxyeedrus was most soothing
and healing to an irritated, infiamed or
diseased skin. BY special method of
treatment this vegetable extract is now
combined with other antiseptic, healing
ingredients, and is known as Cadum.
This new compound has cured thousands
of cases of eczema and other distressing
skin diseases after other remedies had
failed. II stops the terrible itching of
eczema at once and begins healing with
the first application. Cadum can be used
with confidence in all skin affections OF
infants and adults. II has proved a
blessing to many who have suffered for
years from tormenting and disfiguriug
skin diseases. Cadum is different from
anything else. II acts quickly upon PIN
Piles. sores, ulcers, eruptions, rashes,

CAMPAIGN
FOR TAFT
Congressman Mckinley Getting

A PROBLEM FOR ROOSEVELT
The Far West Wants Pinchot Out Of
the Third Term Movement-Gillett
in Demand at the White
House.

Washington, Feb. l2-TheTe is going
/ to be nothing slow about the Taft head

hotel, and there Representative McKin-

on about the Taft campaign, and as
| announced he will be especially friend
| Is to visiting governors and other men
| OF prominence. The location is ideal.
! Good advertisement should come there
from. Meantime, Mr.. Mckinley has
become at once very conspicuous at the
capitol. He has, of course, the right
to the floor of both the Senate and the
House and it was noticed that he was
very busy with Republican members of
the House Saturday. And they seemed
to like it, They have wanted some
thing like this to happen and are pleased
to find ship at last sailing the deeps
Of politics. In other words, at last
there is nucleus about which to gather
and one in which they have the fullest
confidence.
Whether or not to sacrifice upon the
altar of presidential nomination the
friendship and support Of Clifford Pin
chot has been squarely placed before Col.
Roosevelt by the roughriding west.
That became known Saturday. The rep
resentation has been made by the pro-
Rooseveltians from the vast territry
west Of Kansas and these say there
will be no resonant Roosevelt enthusi-
asm in this original Roosevelt country
until it is known that the Pinchots
have no part in the Roosevelt campaign.
A.. 1. 4 L..
matter has been even put so badly to
the colonel as that he ship Mr.. Pinchot
on a steamer for Europe and drop him
in the sea. Conservation is declared to
be more than ever unpopular in the
West and Pinchot is recognized as the
author of it, A marked decline in all
the far West for the colonel is report
ed ever since the Pinehots said they were
for him.
Representative Gillett went before the
judiciary committee Saturday in advo-
cacy of an amendment TO the law which
gives compensation to government EN-
ployes when injured. He advocated the
passage Of the bill which he introduced
at the beginning Of the session. increas-
ing the allowance TO an injured en-
ploye for permanent injury to seven
times the amount of his annual salary,
not less than So 800 and not more than
81 800. There were also other increases
in the case of death.
Representative Mccall has sent word
to Boston that he would like to appear
before the proper legislative committee
to speak against the initiative and refer
endum, and suggests February % or

NOT SALTS, OIL OR
PILLS BUT CASCARETS
No Odds How Sick Your Stomach; How
Hard Your Head Aches or How
Bilious-Cascarets Make You
Feel Great.

You men and women who somehow

almost daily headache, coated tongue
foul taste and foul breath dizziness
can't sleep, are bilious, nervous and up
set, bothered with sick, gassy, disor-
dered stomach, or have baekache and feel
all worn out.
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets, or merely forcing passage
way every few days with salts, cathartic
pills or castor oil? This is important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach, re-
move the sour, undigested and ferment-
ing food and foul gases; take the excess
lille from the liver and carry out of the
system all the decomposed waste matter
and poison in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten you

thus agreed to a proposal made by
| Speaker Champ Clark, who wanted Mr..
! Folk to agree to a divided delegation
Mr.. Folk did this and at the same time
released all of his friends from giving
him their support.
Gov. Folk made the following an.
nouncement after considering a state.
ment which he had received from Speak
er Clark Il have read Mr.. Ciark's
statement with pleasure aud sincerely
appreciate the spirit manifested therein.
| heartily concur in the sentiments that
personal ambition should be subordinate
cd to the interests of our party in Mis-
souri,, and now that Mr.. Clark has ex.
pressed a willingness to have the delega-
ton divided between him and myself,
as suggested recently by Mr.. Bryan [
shall now request my friends TO make
no further effort in my behalf | believe
from reports received from other states
that Mr. Clark, owing to his prominence
in Washington at this time and his long
and honorable service there, has perhaps
better chances for the nomination than
any other Missourian, and | shall there
fore release all claims / may have on the
delegation and request my friends TO
join with me in giving Mr. Clark the
united support of Missouri in this con
test"
Mr.. Clark's statement as received by
Gov. Folk follows: Especially DESTROYS
of bringing the Democracy OF Missouri
together and prevent, as far as possible,
any acrimony in the state, have, after
consultation with numerous friends and
4
to and accept the suggestion made by
Mr.. Bryan TO divide the Missouri delega-
tion to the national convention between
Gov. Folk and myself provided, always,
OF course, that the Democrats of this
state are in the main for one or the
other of Us. am especially anxious
that there should be harmony and CO.
operation among the Democrats of Mis-.
sour. Whether the Joplin convention
would be for me or for former Gov.
Folk, is a question which is unnecessary
and which it would be bootless for me
to discuss now. II is sufficient to say
tina in the interest of party harmony
in this state | have determined to say
that / am willing to accept the sugges
ton made for a division of the state
delegation. and l hope my friends
throughout the state will heartily agree
TO this suggestion and cooperate with |
me in carrying it out"
The agreement reached by Speaker ,
Clark and former Gov. Folk was first
by W. ]. Bryan while he was at |
st. Louis recently. Mr.. Folk was willing
. agree to divided delegation at the
state convention. but Clark's local man
ayers refused Mr. Bryan's suggestion. I
The matter was recently put up to Mr. I
Clark in Washington and he telegraphed T
Mr. Folk Saturday. A conversation by I
telephone Just before noon between Mr. I
Clark and Mr.. Folk followed and the lat
ter then made public his announcement.
Lon Sanders. campaign manager for Mr..
Folk, after the statements were given
,ut, said This practically means Mr..
Folks withdrawal from the presidential
'ace."

SAY WILSON SUPPRESSED
THE REPORT
Florida Everglades Investigation Be-
gins at Washing
ton.

! Washington. Feb l2-The Florida
/ Everglades investigation ordered by the
House committee on expenditures in the
| department of agriculture got under way
Saturday. Solicitor George McCabe re
cited the departments version of the
dismissal OF c. p. Elliott. chief engineer,
and A. d. Morehouse, his assistant, de.
claring Secretary Wilson's action was
due entirely to the financial irregularities
charged against the men in transference
Of public funds, and had nothing to do
with the Everglades reports, which il is
charged were suppressed.
Representative Clark of Florida, whose
charges against Secretary Wilson precipi-
tated the investigation, made public a
letter from Secretary Wilson, in when
the latter said he could not recall the
persons who recommended to him the
suppression of circular letter on the
Everglades prepared by Elliott.
Mr.. Clark also made public a letter
from Arthur +. Morgan Of Memphis,
Tenn. president of the Morgan Engi-
neering company, formerly supervising
engineer of United States drainage in
vestigations, and now a special drainage
engineer in the department of agricul-
ture, charging that the dismissals of
Elliott and Morehouse were directly due
to the Everglades controversy and that
they were being sacrificed TO shield
Secretary Wilson"
1T has been a matter of common
knowledge among the officials OF the
United States drainage investigations
for more than a year." wrote Mr.. Nor
gan, "that the suppression of the Flor
ida Everglades report. which was pre-
pared by Mr.. Elliott, had been an embar-
rassment to the higher officials of the
at had been known by those familiar
with the situation that the Florida land
companies have been circulating broad
cast Mr. Wright's original report as the
official report of the department, where
as a different report, prepared by Mr.
Elliott, stating the facts of the situation
and not so favorable to the Everglades
land project, had been suppressed by
Secretary Wilson.
1T also has been generally understood
that the situation would come before the
public in time and that someone must be
diseredited
III would not presume to write in this
manner concerning the head of the de-
partment in which | am an official did il
not seem so unjust to dismiss Mr.. Eli
oft, presumably ON other charges, when
the real cause of his dismissal is to cover
the embarrassment of his superiors."
Solicitor McCabe admitted on the
stand Saturday that the charges against !
Elliott and Morehouse were brought by !
Wright, formerly Elliott's subordinate,
but now chief engineer in charge of the
state drainage work in Florida.
