GRAPE JUICE PURITY
WILL Be PRESERVED
Administration Will Not Permit
Harmful Brands to Injure
Bryan Beverage.

A Democratic Administration is out to
preserve the purity of grape juice. made
famous by Secretary Bryan's partiality
TO the beverage. and no harmful brands
VIII be permitted to ruin its reputation
as perfectly criss-cross-my-heart nom
JagabIe drink-fit for the diplomats and
water-cart riders.
The first blow at alleged adulterated
BRANDS was struck today by John Lewis
smith, Assistant United States Attor-
ney' acting at the instance of the
Bureau of Chemistry. Prosecutor smith
tiled libel in the District Supreme
Court against "a barrel or more OF a
beverage called "Grapine."
1t Is charged that there are displayed
prominently on the label designs Of
clusters Of grapes" and that the bever-
age Is purported to be a grape product
when in truth and fact II Is not
grape product" The contention OF the
chemists is that the label is misleading
Delicious, appetizing and satisfying"
is another claim made for "Grapine,"
but this is not combated by the Gov
eminent, the prosecutors apparently
taking Mr.. Bryan's view of real grape
juice. 1t Is admitted that unadulterated
grape juice is really an excellent drink,
but the charge is made that adulterated
brands are harmful.
Justice Wright issued an order today
permitting the experts to take samples
of 'Grapine" for experiments. william
H. Hartigan, one of the chemists, was
in court and declared that the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and not the State
Department would make the tests.

LOCAL BOYS WIN IN
MARINE CORPS TEST
w. n. Rupertus Is Third and
E. T. Lloyd Eighth in List
of Successful Ones.

Big honors were tatken by two Wash
| ington boys in examinations recently
held by the Navy Department for coin
missions in the United States Marine

stood eighth. Alphonse De Carre. of st.
Louis, who stood ninth, being under the
legal age of appointment, Secretary
Daniels will hold a vacancy for him un-
I'll he reaches the legal age OF twenty
one.
Much bitterness is expected to be
caused among officers of the Marine
Corps because of the success of J. c.
Foster Of Carlisle, Pa, in passing the
examinations. Foster stood second in
the list of the successful candidates. He
stood examination as an enlisted man,
and much opposition is said to have
been engendered among the officers in
the corps against his appointment. The
fact that Secretary Daniels will COM
mission him marks one step in the Sec
retary's warfare against ''snobbery' in
the commissioned ranks of the navy.
Altogether sixty-five candidates were
authorized to take the examinations, but
nine of these failed to pass the physical
test before having the opportunity to
take the mental examinations.
secretary Daniels, after receiving
the report of the examining board, de-
cided this morning to recommend all
who passed with the exception of De
Garre for appointment as second lieu
tenants. They will be commissioned
strictly in the order of their stand
ing, as determined by the total null
tiple for the written examinations.

the Revenue Cutter School with high
honors, standing second in his class

training at the Emerson Institute. He

CONNOLLY ORDERED
TO INSANE HOSPITAL
Wyoming Man Is Committed to
Asylum After Absence of
Nine Years.

Albert S. Connolly of Cheyenne, wyo
WIFI be committed to the Government
Hospital for the Insane on an order BY
the District Commissioners, Justice
Wright, presiding in the District Su-
preme Court, sustaining the order to-
day.

Jail for observation as to his mental
condition. Attorney NJ. Z. O'Brien
sought to obtain his release on habeas
corpus proceedings, but meanwhile the
Commissioners issued the order COM
Hospital for the Insane.
The commitment order Of the Commits
sioners was based on the fact that Con-
molly was regularly committed to the
asylum on April 29, 1904, and obtained
his release only on condition that his
brother would take him out Of the city.
Connolly was taken to Iowa in May,
1904, and returned to Washington several
times since, but was not molested until
he is alleged to have annoyed Mr.. Car
mody.
1t is charged by Connolly that his
arrest was due to the fact that he pre-
feTred charges against Senator War
rem of Wyoming in 1904, and has since
renewed the allegations. He alleged
that the Wyoming Senator unlawfully
fenced in a tract of Government land.
This charge was made to two Congress
sionai committees and to Vice President
Marshall. and Senator Kern of Indiana,
II is understood.
Attorney O'Brien filed a demurrer to-
day. but 1t was overruled by Justice
Wright. The demurrer attacked the
of oliver P. Newman as a
District Commissioner and also urged
that the Commissioners had no right
to order the commitment of Connolly
without a hearing Justice Wright gave
counsel the right to file a
traverse In the case.

Auto Owners in Court.

Complaint has been filed in the of.
flee of Hal NJ. Cannon, Justice of the
Peace, against all Carter county own
ers of automobiles who have not made
payment of their state tax of $1.00
The names, together with the mum.
Der of the machine which each per-
son owns has been filed with Mr..
Cannon with the complaints and un-
less these payments are made the
justice viii, upon instructions from
the office Of the attorney general en-
ter judgment against each owner.
Justice Cannon stated Saturday that
he did not desire to cause extra ex-
pense to any person and he would
wait few days before taking judg-
ment in these cases but where prompt
payments are not made the auto own
ers will be taxed with the fine and
the cost of the constable and the JUS
tice fees which will make the tax
much more burdensome. Mr.. Cannon
is of the opinion that when the auto
owners understand the matter they
will make their payment without the
necessity of the extra costs.

MAY EXERCISES
GREAT SUCCESS
ARDMORE PEOPLE WITNESSED
EXERCISES IN DIFFERENT
SCHOOLS.

For four years it has been Gus
tom in the Ardmore schools to cele-
brate the first of May with appro-
pirate May Day exercises. From the
first these exercises have aroused
great deal of attention and interest
among Ardmore citizens. From year
to year the exercises have been bet
ter and the interest has increased
great deal During the past week, these
exercises have been held at the diff
ferent schools of the city and have
very much surpassed the exercises
oil any previous year. 1t is difficult
for one to say how it could be i'm
proved upon much. Never before has
the interest manifested ON the part
of the parents been so great as this
year 1t is estimated that between five
and six thousand of our citizens have
attended one or more of the different
performances. Pupils and teachers Of
the different wards have We'd with
each other trying to excel all the rest.
The folk games of the different
grades were well executed. Some of
the drills of the boys were humorous
as well as entertaining. The drills
by the girls presented about as beauti-
fuf a picture as anyone could ask. The
children receive benefits from these
exercises that they could not receive
in any other way The drills and the
marches teach them rythm and grace
of movement while the games which
they are taught revive in them play
activities and customs of different
N at lifin1 that fhnu q
the life and activities of these differ
ent peoples. This will enlarge their
own life experiences and activities.
Besides this, there are no other ex-
ercises or entertainments given by
the schools that bring so large num-
Der of our citizenship together. II
causes people of all classes to come
together with a common interest, a
common purpose, and a common de-
sire. 1t causes men and women of all
classes to feel that they are at least
akin and this should be cultivateo
by our people, more than 1t is. 80. ~
AT the close of the exercises fnl

He thanked all the children for their
and efforts to please with
their programs and thanked the par

WOOL SCHEDULE
BEFORE HOUSE
THREE-CORNERED FIGHT WAGED
ON NISTRATION'S PROPOS.
ED SCHEDULE.
oerats Want Fifteen Per Cent Duty.

ocrats Want Fifteen Per Cent Duty.
Washington, ID. c., May 3.-The
schedule Of the much discussed and
always disputed wool tariff, upon
which the democrats maintain that the
republicans stumbled and which caus-
ed their fall from power last fall, and
over which their own party is divided
brought the tariff fight in the house
to climax today.
1t was apparent early in the fight
that free raw wool. as projected in the
administration bill was in for a three
cornered fight.
The republicans are demanding a
duty of about eighteen per cent, which
was supposed by some of the pro-
gressives and the wool insurgents of
the majority are demanding a fifteen
per cent duty, which they claimed
was the original judgment of the ways
and means committee until President
Wilson took a hand
Senator Payne offered as a substi-
tute for the new wool schedule the
republican wool bill which he intro
duced at the last session of congress.
Murdock and Martin also had amend
ments.

PEACE MOVEMENT
A BUSINESS AT AIR
ADDRESS BY JOHN LEWIS, EDITOR
OF THE TORONTO STAR AT
PEACE CONFERENCE.

st. Louis, May Canada and the
United States have set the world an
example of a new kind of interna.
tional relation" said John Lewis, ed
itor Of the Toronto Star, at the Fourth
American Peace Congress here today
Mr. Lewis spoke on The Identity of
the Interests of the United States
and Canada
The modern peace movement Is
not visionary or sentimental, neither
is it wholly based upon business in
terests,' said Mr.. Lewis. at is sim
ply part of the progress of civili-
cation. 1t advances with the grow.
ing recognition that the true inter
ests of nations are not conflicting,
but identical. The more usefully gov
ernments and nations are employed,
the less they have to fight about.
The growing interest of govern
ments in social reform is one of the
forces making for peace. The inte rna.
tional gatherings of scientists and
others having common interests are
the beginnings of the parliament of
man. The scientist who is seeking a
Nuit lOl III bti tdll
have no rational cause of quarrel
with the man who is seeking cure
for tuberculosis in France. In Canada,
or in the United States, we men and
governments are busy in fighting dis
ease, dirt, insect pests and weeds in
the physical world-crime and ignor-
ance and injustice in the moral world.
The more society concerns itself with
these things, the less the danger of
war In these conflicts also will be
found the true outlet for human en-.
ergy and human combativeness. The
militants are right when they say that
action and conflict are necessary for
the full development of human char
acter, hut they are after the wrong
enemies.
Man has no natural enmity with
man. His worst enemy is within him
self, and Just so the worst enemies Of
a state are within the state. The
broad conception of patriotism is pub
ishness and there is no reason why
public service should stop at a ma
tional boundary or why there should
not be patriotic citizen of the world
Canada and the United States have
set the world the example of a new
kind of international relation. Dis
)utes far more serious than those that
nave led to war elsewhere have been
settled by arbitration. But we must
1ot be satisfied with a mere mega
i've advantage, freedom from war and
rom the apprehension of war. We
must make full use of our exceptional
advantages. We must look not back
ward to the year 1913, but forward |
o 2013.
THE three stages of development
nya be thus indicated in 1913, war, in |
913, peace, in 2O13, friendship and |
Ictive cooperation in social reform,
inspired by all the courage and en-
rgy which were once devoted to war |
