carpet is blown among the people and
into open doors and windows the
germs lodge in the hair and remain
until they get in their deadly work.
Carpets and rugs should be taken
to an isolated spot in the country
where no human habitation is near,
and where grasses and trees will to
a considerable degree, catch the dust
and germs.
The life of germ is short when it
tails into the moist growth or comes
in contact with the earth where some
kind of insect is apt to pick it up.
An ideal spot for carpet cleaning
would be an island where the dust
would be carried over and be depos-

DENIES COCKTAILS
Former Congressman Says He
Didn't Drink Them.
"Wicked, DiabOlicaI Lie,' -
Brands MuIhaH Story.

RushviIle, June 3O.-"A wicked dia-
gresham James E. Watson criticised
the statement by Martin NJ. Mulhall
that Watson drank six cocktails in
NulhalPs room in a hotel in Indian
apolls during the campaign of 1908
THAT statement" said Mr.. Watson,
practically carries with it its own
refutation.
He (MulhalD says he got six cock
tails in his room at one time and then
modestly withdrew while 1 drank them
all. That statement is a wicked, dia-
boIical lie," Mr.. Watson reiterated his
statement of last night that he had
been employed only by the National
Association of Manufacturers to furth-
er the movement for the tariff commits
sion at the extra session of congress
In 1909, and that his connection with
the association ceased with adjourn
ment of the special session.
In speaking of Mulhall's trip to Indiana
Mr.. Watson said Mulhall told him that
he had had considerable experience in or
ganizing working men for political pur-
poses. and Watson said he would be glad
to have the benefit of his experience along
that line.
said Mr.. Watson, "of any honorable aid
I could obtain in my race for the COVER
norship and was willing to avail my
self of any knowledge of experience he

ton; but is not true that either he or his

CHEAP PHONE talk.
California Commission Would Out
Long Distance Rates.

San FRANCISCO, Cal, June 3O.-Reduction
of long distance telephone rates to an ex-
tent that would cut receipts of the Pa
cific Telephone and Telegraph Co. nearly
100000 year is recommended in report
laid before the state railroad commission
today by James T. Shaw, rate expert of
the commission.
Long distance rates now in effect in
California now are the same charged in
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nevada.
The company contends that acceptance of
Shaw'S report may serve as a precedent
for commissions in the four states named
and So seriously affect annual receipts.
An Importance difference in the rate
schedule proposed by the company and
that of the commissions experts is the in
itial time unit for talking. The company
wishes to fix this unit at one minute.
The experts have found that the average
time of a long distance call is Les minutes
and would fix the unit at two minutes.

DUST IN CARPETS.

Thousands of cases of illness are

deadly pests.
Nothing harbors these disease germs

disease and conditions of life have ex-
listed and when the rugs or carpets
have been taken to the common. an
open lot or the park to be beaten
the disease germs are liberated and
scattered all over the place.
The wind will carry the dust from
a dirty carpet for several blocks, and
the germs are lighter and more cas-

a calm atmosphere.
Persons passing or residing near
carpet-cleaning resort can smell and
taste the dust from the filthy fiber as
it is pounded by the laborer. The lips
and nostrilS are moist, and the dis
ease germs can collect and be re-
tanned by the mouth and nose until
they have a chance to enter the sys-

Instances are recorded where con-
tagious diseases were spread through

capped by saving through a rotten bar

Tariff Bill Goes to Senate at First
Meeting.

Washington June Diminishing
touches to the schedule of the tariff
bill were considered today by the sem
ate caucus which is endeavoring to
finish it's work by tomorrow night,

entire finance committee and be re-

agreed upon by the finance committee
majority yesterday were reviewed by
the caucus in the hope that the ad-
illustrative and income tax sections
could be reached tonight.
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee expected that the caucus
would develop little opposition to post
poning operation of the sugar schedule
until March 1, 1914, or to the change of
date for the income tax from January
l, 1913, to March 1, of this year.
After prolonged discussion of an
amendment by Senator Pomerene to
put a countervailing duty of eight per
cent on agricultural implements, the
caucus voted by an overwhelming ma
jority to leave those articles on the free
list unrestricted. The caucus COM
pleted all the schedules except the last
two paragraphs of the free list, which
will be voted on later today. An
amendment was adopted to provide
thorough inspection of meats entering
American ports. unless subjected to
similar inspection when exported. An
amendment by Senator Johnson of
Maine, putting cedar logs on the free
list was adopted. Bran and wheat
screenings. which the committee mad
vertently had left on the free unre-
stricted list were transferred to the
paragraph including wheat and all pro-
ducts of wheat which are free listed,

BOOK OF LOVE LETTERS
Bound Volume Presented to George
Martin by Admiring Friends.

In celebration of his seventy Sec
ond birthday anniversary, George w.
Martin, secretary of the State H1stor-
ical society, was this afternoon pre-
scented with a bound book containing
nearly $50 love letters from his KAN
sas friends and admirers. The letters
were written by many of the state
most prominent men and women in
appreciation of Mr.. Martins years of
faithful service in the state.
The book Of love messages contained
greetings from the pens of state mouse
officials, men who have held public Of
fee in former years and men and wom-
en- in private life who are admirers OF
the secretary of the historical society.
There was a verse from the pen OF
Walt Mason and kind words from
Governor Hodges and scores of other
men widely known in the state.
George w. Martin has been promt-
nent in Kansas almost since he set
foot in the state in 1857. With the
exception of the session OF 1851, ne
has attended every legislative session
including the territorial sessions
and constitutional convent1onS-Slnce
the day he came to the state. In 1861
he established the Junction City Union
and for five years it was the only pa
per between Topeka and Denver. Ana
during the years that Martin provided
the editorials for the Union there was
always something doing in Kansas
politics.
Martin was a Republican. He mad
come to the new state from his birth
place in Hollidayburg. Pa, and had
settled with his parents at Lecompton,
a pro-slavery town, and the state CAPT
tai. So in those days of strife in Kan
sas, there was plenty for Martin to
do and he was always on the job.
In the late SOS, Martin was twice
register of the Junction City land Of
fee. In 1873, a week after the York
Pomeroy exposure, he was elected
state printer. Martin continued to
hold public jobs practically all of the
time and was in every political fight
and made his paper a factor in state
politics And while Martin was Re-
publican of the fighting brand, he was
independent and never fastened TO
bolt an undesirable nominee he
bolted John A. Anderson, nominee Tor
congress in the Fifth district in 1878
and later supported Mason s. Peters
for congress in the Second. In 1882,
Martin supported Click, Democrat, for
governor.
It was after the death of Fran kim
G. Adams in December. 1899 that
Martin was elected secretary of the
state Historical society. He has since
held the position and probably has to
his credit more years of continuous
public service in Kansas than any one
other man in the state.
