MULHALL QUIZ IN HOUSE
Confessed Lobbyist Takes Stand in
Probe That Promises to Be
Far-Reaching.

Washington, Aug 12.-Martin NJ
Mulhall began the second recital of
his experiences in attempting to in
fluence legislation on Monday before
the investigators on the house side
of the capitol. The greater part Of
his testimony was repetition of
what he told to the senate commit
tee, and was only preliminary to what
Is expected to be a far-reaching In
quiry
After brief examination, in the
course of which the witness objected
to testifying from his recollection
without the aid of the voluminous
documents which he presented to
the senate committee, the house COM
mittee began the detailed probe OF
the Mulhall charges. The committee
plans to take up systematically the
members of congress, employees Of
congress and other public men men,
toned IN the correspondence and ex-
anime the witness relating to each
individual.
Following this plan all of the Null
hall letters relating to Representative
Richard Bartholdt of Missouri were
placed III the record, and Mulhall was
questioned about them. The letters
related to the pressure brought by
Mulhall on Mr.. Bartholdt in proven
ting a report on an eight-hour labor
bill from the labor committee and in
supporting the Littlefield anti-pilotage
bill, which the Association of Manu-
facturers favored.

TWO DIE IN STORM
GALE SWEEPS PHILADELPHIA
PAVILION WITH 200 FALLS.
Terrific Gale 4urIs Machine into Tree
and Injuries Many-Property
Loss 100000.

Philadelphia. Aug. 12.-One young
woman and an infant were killed
on Sunday when gale swept this
city. A band pavilion in Fairmont
park collapsed during the terrific wind
and rain storm. Two hundred persons
were in the stand when it collapsed.
Scores of persons were injured, but
only few were taken to hospital.
Rain, hail and lightning and sixty
mile wind did great damage all over
the city.
More than 100 Of the injured man
aged to drag themselves to their
homes Only the fact that the pavilion
was of light construction, without any
real heavy joists, prevented terrible
catastrophe. The crowd had sought
refuge from the rain inside the frail
structure.
At the height of the storm large
sightseeing automobile was thrown
into a tree Seven Of the occupants
were injured.
Matte l.. Greiner was drowned at
Port Richmond
In all parts of the city trolley serv-
ice is either tied up absolutely or de-
Iayed for hours. Telephone and tele-
graph poles are down on all sides.
The wind tore the roof from the
building of the Franklin Trust COM
pany's building, and the roofs of
eleven houses were carried away bod
lily
The storm lasted four hours. when
the city began to take account of it's
loss of life and property The proper
ty loss, based on a conservative es-
innate. will reach more than a mil
lion dollars.

MAY GUST SULZER
RESOLUTION PRESENTED IN NEW
LEGISLATURE ASKING I'M
PARCHMENT OF GOVERNOR.
REPORT BY FRAWLEY BODY
Committee That Investigated Cover
nor Demands Official Action Be-
cause of Alleged Stock Deals and
False Reports on Campaign Funds.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 13-The report
of the Frawley committee detailing
the results of its Investigations into
the official career Of Gov. William
lSulzer was adopted by the assembly
on Monday, and the resolution calling
for the impeachment of the governor
was Immediately introduced by Rep
resentative Levy.
The conclusions of the Frawley
committee, embodied in its report
to the legislature, are that Governor
Sulzer falsified under oath his cam
paign contribution account, diverted
some of these contributions to the
purchase of stock, speculated in stock.
1--WE submit to the senate and as
sembly," the report recites, that the
facts stated are sufficiently serious In
character and are so violative of the
laws of the state that the public In
terests demand some action In ref
erence thereto, whether through the
exercise of powers of the legislature
or by referring facts and evidence to
other duly constituted officers charged
with duties in respect thereof"
During the time of these hearings
and Investigations" the report pro-
ceeds, civilian Sulzer as governor,
has done everything in his power to
withhold the truth and obstruct the
production of evidence and the course
of justice. At his instance and direc-
ton Louis A. Sarecky. his secretary;
Frederick L. ColweIl, his dummy, and
Harris and Fuller, his brokers. have
refused to testify before the commit
tee
Governor SulZer made false pub
lie statement, when on July 30, 1918,
he said that he was away campaign
ing and that he did not know of the
campaign contributions omitted from
his sworn statement. The Elkus
check was Endorsed by Sulzer person
ally and he acknowledged the letter
of Elkus transmitting it as cam
paign contribution.
1--WE submit to the legislature that
it was false when William Sulzer
swore that he had received only
$5,460 of campaign contributions, and
that he did so with full knowledge
that he had received an amount many
times that sum and had converted
the same to his private uses.
This committee, therefore. has not
completed its investigation, either on
this subject or others covered by the
resolutions under which it is acting,
but it has felt that the revelations
set forth in this report and the testi-
mony accompanying it should be
brought to the attention of the legis-
lature at once, without awaiting a
final report either on this or other
subjects"
New York, Aug. 12.-Governor Sui
ger issued statement denying abso-
lutely that he ever used campaign
funds for speculation purposes. He
gave out the statement following a
conferen ce with his political advisers.
The statement was given out by
Chester c. Plat, the governors sec
rotary. Among those present at the
conference were Louis Marshall, John
A. Hennessy, Louis A. Sarreky, and
Mr. Plat.

COST OF RAISING WHEAT.

national Crop Improvement Service.l
1t seems that the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in comput-
ing the cost of raising a bushel of
wheat states that So cents per bushel
will cover labor, interest, marketing,
depreciation, etc. This is based on
an average production of about Is
bushels per acre. But DR.. Worst of
the Agricultural College of North
Dakota states that the loss of soil
fertility is equal to 46h cents more.
According to this estimate every
bushel of wheat costs $l05, and the
former loses money on every bushel
he sells for less than that price. A
change in, his method, however, and
the introduction of proper diversified
ton and soil building will allow him
to grow wheat at a profit at regular
prices.
This is problem to be worked out
by the Grain Club in each county,
which are now being established in
all the counties in the grain belt.

USE GOOD LUMBER.
rwo-Inch Boards Best for Concrete
Forms - Green Lumber Clear Of
Knots Preferred.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
Good lumber is necessary for good
concrete work. Lumber free from
knots should be used, but green lum-
Der is preferable to kiln dry, as kiln
dry lumber will warp when wet by
the concrete Two-inch boards should
be used. Well surfaced lumber.
matched, tongued and grooved, and
free from knots is the best kind to
get. The cement dealer frequently
handles lumber, and where necessary
to buy lumber, it is much more eco
nomical to get good material; which
can be used over and over again
for the forms for the concrete work
Before erecting the forms, paint the
lumber with oil or soft soap. Never
use kerosene oil for this purpose un-
der any circumstances, but use lin
seed, black, or cylinder oil. This
will prevent the cement from sticking
to the forms and will give a much
smoother finish and better job.

a very easy matter to destroy them;
even in places where one can not get
rid of standing water. OF course. the
fundamental principle in Mosquito
control is to destroy their breeding
places by emptying water vesselsy
draining pools, ponds and swamps,
and being careful that there is no
stagnant water for them to breed in.
The worst kind of Mosquito infes-
tation in any neighborhood can be
suppressed and the pests disappear
within two weeks, if proper and ef-
ficient steps are taken toward break
ing up the breeding places, or oiling
water where the young live. A film
of oil, such as common kerosene oil,
or lamp oil, on the surface of the wa
ter will destroy the larvae within a
few minutes. When the oil is first
poured on the water these little wrig-
glers will go down, but they soon
come to the surface to breathe.
When they come in contact with the
thin film of oil they are unable to
breathe, and they are sure to perish
at once. Thus it is possible to keep
the water in the rain barrel, tank or
cistern without Mosquitoes multiply
ing therein. The addition of little
kerosene oil to water that is to be
used for laundry purposes will not
prove harmful in the least, but on the
other hand will be really beneficial.
OF course, where water is to be used
for drinking by poultry or livestock,
the oil should be dipped or drained
off before one can expect the animals
to use it.
An inspection of the premises
where Mosquitoes are bad sometimes
reveals the facts that they are going
in or out of drain pipes or cisterns
or other places where there is water,
and if these are properly screened It
is sufficient to prevent the passage
of the Mosquitoes, and, consequently,
obviates the nuisance.
Often old tin cans, discarded buck
cts, jars, pitchers, ETC., are left on
dump pile, or in some neglected spot
where they retain water and serve as
breeding places for these annoying
pests. A crusade of inspection
around the borough will generally
result in revealing the presence Of
the pests in some unexpected places,
| and this may result in their exter-
mination at an expense of only a few
cents for oil or labor. OF course,
where there are large swamps to be
drained, the expense becomes greater,
but the improvement in the value
and possibility of the land is such as
to justify every effort in this direc-
ton.

MOSQUITO PREVENTION.

State Zoologist H. A. Surface, Har-
risburg, is authority for the state
ment that there is no need of suffer-
ing from the torments and evils of
mosquitoes, as the Mosquito Nui-
sance is very easily prevented if
rightly undertaken. He says that
these pests breed or mate in pools or
small ponds, and more frequently in
vessels containing rain water.
The young Mosquitoes are the lit
tie wrigglers or wiggletails commonly
seen in rain water barrels. AS they
can not breathe under water, but
must come to the surface of the wa
ter in order to obtain fresh air, it is
