ceding the strike, and assessment of
operators on Paint creek and Cabin
creek owned by the Paint Creek Land
company, payees of the mines and data
as to the ownership Of the coal com
panies and owners of the capital they
profits made.
MARITIME Is Mum.
Today Senator MARITIME took little
part in the proceedings. Although he
sat at the committee table throughout
the hearings, he asked no questions,
under an agreement reached after yes
terday's outbreak, that Senator Ken
yon was TO take sole charge Of the ex-
animation Of witnesses.
John A. Green, superintendent OF the
Mucklow mine of the Paint Creek Col
Iieries company when the strike broke
out, was a witness. He said that guards
were not placed on Paint creek until
men at work had been interfered with
by the strikers. When the guards ar
rived they were not armed. but after
fifty OF seventyhve strikers. carrying
guns, had made demonstration. he said
the guards were Increased and armed
He declared that the conduct Of the
guards was not the cause Of the various
outbreaks of violence.
Walter Belk, who served on Paint creek
as a guard and. who was for a time In
duct. He described the first battle Of
Mucl1low. May 90, 1912, when the town
was attacked from the hills. The firing.
he said. continued for about half an hour,
and found places carefully prepared for
the shooting. He said men had evidently
been in these places for hours before
they began firing.
Belk Describes Battle.
Belk described another battle in the
hills when the guards killed one miner
and wounded another. He denied the
story told to the committee by Mrs. Sc
villa that she had been brutally assaulted
by mine guards Senator Kenyon exam
plan Of the Baldwin Feltz guard system
and the general conduct Of guards In the
strike zone.
Attorney Belcher caused q stir in the
committee room when he asked Belk
Isn't 1t true that fifteen or twenty
armed men, connected with your
agency have been In this room through
out this Investigations"
Belk
Don't you know that your men have
been hired to shadow gentlemen con-
nected with the investlgation?"
II could not say as to that, because II
Is not my line of work.
This precipitated an argument between
counsel. In which Attorney Knight de-
MED vigorously that detectives had been
hired by the operators to shadow men
connected with the investigation.

REP. GLASS STRONG IN DEFENSE
OF PRES. WILSON
The Association of Commerce last
night heard Rep. Carter Glass, Vir-
ginia, chairman of the house COM
mittee on banking and currency bill
and one of the sponsors of the adj
ministration currency bill, point out
some of the important effects of the
bill.
Rep. Glass was also warm in his
defense of President Wilson and the
executives views on the banking sit
uation.
Glass administered a singing re-
Duke to the banking interests, head
ed by Frank A. Vanderlip.
He told how he was converted to
President Wilson's ideas on the fed
eral reserve board when the presi-
dent challenged a committee of
bankers who called on him to point
out a single instance in which any
government board had on it repre-
sentatives of big business and the
committee failed to answer.
Glass said the bill proposed sub
stitute for the banks dependence on
the bond market, a system of note
issue based upon the commercial as
sets of the country. .
Financial relief will come speed
ily," said Rep. Glass. 81 base this
prediction on the fact that we have
a president with a comprehensive
understanding of what the people
require, and an unalterable deter
mination to give them what they
need. He will not be turned from his
purpose by persuasion or fear. There
is not an atom of cowardice in his
entire makeup"

A TERRIBLE JOLT FOR COOK
COUNTY HOSPITAL
The Cook County Hospital is called
the worst in the country in an article
in the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association written by Dr. Rupert
Norton of Johns Hopkins University.
''The municipal hospitals of this
country are disgrace from almost
every point of view, and do not serve
the purpose they should in any re-
spect," says Dr. Norton. ''The ex-
ceptions can be counted on ones
fingers. The best of the kind is the
Boston City Hospital and the worst
is the County Hospital of Chicago.
None will deny that many of our
failings are due to political condi-
tons in our large cities. The system
of political spoils has interfered in
every way with municipal undertake
ings. When money has been secured
in one way or another for the build
ing of hospital it often has been ex-
travagantly expended, or wasted
through incompetence, or stolen by
dishonest contractors. AS result,
the community did not get what it
should have in the way of building"

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached to
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially Interested in lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing Of grain
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces Of Manitoba. Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that Of last year Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready Of
land this spring made a considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat. oats.
barley and flax were got in In good
shape, although from week to ten
days later than last year On the
crop conditions generally In Western
Canada We're: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance Of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely Ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree iii predicting every indi-
cation of a bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and In Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th The
oat crop Is looking we'll, although late
and rather short In straw"
This is followed by report July
5th Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
ever prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten 10 fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured
There is. therefore. the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops

was not affected.
Il told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis

1T was struggle, because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try 1t
and then it was easy to leave of
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was new man altogether, as re-

How to See Through Paper.

very remarkable experiment
which any one can repeat with very
little trouble has been uneartheG by a
German. Take piece of paper of
such thickness that. when it is laid
upon piece of printed matter, the
characters iast show through but can
not be read Placing it over printed
sheet. impart to 1T circular motion
to and fro. and to your surprise you
will find that now you can read the
print DeloW the paper
1t is rather difficult to explain this
peculiar effect The explanation Of
fered is that the paper has thin places
IN it, and by rapidly moving 1t over
the print every part OF the printed
matter is exposed In turn underneath
one or the other Of the thin places in
the paper and thus the entire print
can be read. However that may be,
the experiment is interesting and very
simple, requiring for its performance
only the simplest means imaginable.
