mittee List of Offerings of Seeuri-
ties in Fifteen Years.

Great interest was shown by members
of the Pujo committee yesterday in a
statement which has just been put into
the committees record by J. P. Morgan
Co., showing the extent Of their
offerings of securities of interstate cor
porations to the public in the last fifteen
years. The statement shows that the
transactions of this characer in which
the firm has been engaged in this period
reached the enormous total of more
than s2,50ooO0,0o0.

actions the results are expressed in the
number of shares of stock handled, and
not in terms of dollars and cents. These
figures include, of course, the transac-
tions in which Morgan & Co. figured in
bringing out the big corporations, such
as United States Steel and syndicate
as well as out-and-out pur-
cha ses.
There has been submitted into the rec
ord of the Pujo committee. a statement

Eddie Foy Gets Short End Of Purse in
Betting Bout with Honey
Boy" Evans.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. The sporting
proclivities of Eddie Foy, star of over
the River" to-day won him a bet of
two dollars, but Jared his bank ac-
count to the extent of S250-the cost
of a special train to carry him to Bir-
mingham, Ala, to fill an engagement.

nial minstrel favorite, whose cajoling
was responsible for his loss of s2iS,

this way:
Foy and Evans clasped hands in
friendship this morning shortly before
the Foy company boarded the train for
its Alabama destination. The pleasure
of meeting the happy Honey Boy
caused Foy to miss his train.
Eddie refused the fourth drink.
George taunted him-old age, cold
feet. and all that AS a matter of
pride-to evince that his bones and
joints were still like old wine, good, IL
aged-he wagered that he would march

Foy was in the parade, all right. But
when he stepped out of line. ready to
"taxicab II" to the station, he was
greeted with the information that the
train he intended to take to Birming-
ham in time to fill his engagement
would not land him there in time. The
$3.50 special was the antidote pre-
scribed. Like a good patient he took
the dose-and to show he was a sport
did not make a wry face.

his hyperbolic smile. Here ! win, yet

San Francisco, Feb. 1.-The world ap-
preciates Americas enduring gift to
civilization at Panama. Although it is
less than one year ago since the Presi-
dent of the United States, in accordance
with an act of Congress, issued a proc
lamation inviting all nations to join
with America in celebrating the open

twenty-three foreign governments have
already officially accented the invitation
to participate.

Peru, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Japan, Ecua-
dor, Uruguay, Canada, Liberia, France,
Nicaragua, Cuba, Great Britain. China,
Portugal, Sweden, and Holland.
Other nations will follow rapidly. Spain
has just selected its site.
The world interest which has led to
this unprecedented foreign participation
is equalled by the enthusiasm of the
American Commonwealths. Already the
following thirt--three American States
and Territories have taken legislative
action looking toward participation, and
other States have given assurance that
they will take similar action as rapidly
as their Legislatures meet.

500 applications for space have been re-

in value from 100000 to $500 900.
There is but one way to account for
this phenomenal showing. 1t is due al
most solely TO the world interest in the

present-day achievement that Importantly

NO "GAMBOGO" SUPPLY
MERIT THE 'YATAGHAN'
Representative Akin of New York Con
tinues Warfare Against Civil Service
and Uses Some New Words

Theron Akin. Independent, of New
York, yesterday introduced a resolution
in the House directing all Senators and
Representatives to apply the referendum
to the question whether the Democratic
administration should take measures
looking to the punishment due ''icarian
politicians who have well nigh exhausted
their supply of "gambogo" and merit the
"yataghan.''
''Gambogo." according to Mr.. Akin, is
"a sticky substance used as a convey
ance for taking a physic.'' The ''yata-
ghan," according to the same authority,
is a two-edged Balkan sword used in
the present warfare in the Balkans.
The Akin resolution is a continuation
of Mr.. Atkins warfare against the civil
service in general and DR.. Willis Moore,
the weather forecaster, in particular.
After citing in full a yoluminous cor
respondence between himself and Presi-
dent of the Civil Service Commission.
Gen. Black, relative to the policy Of
granting extended furloughs to civil serv-
ice employees, the resolution concludes
as follows:
Resolved, That Congress and the pub
lie take judicial notice of this resolu-
ton and that each Senator and Repre-
sentative be, and hereby is. authorized
and directed to mail a copy of this reso-
luton TO eacn constituent over twenty
one years Of age, for the purpose that
at some time Congress will be in a
proper frame of mind to investigate
along just lines the agricultural and
any other department of the government
service needing investigation in order
that the tax payers may have value re-
ceived for the enormous sums of money
expended and that the civil service shall
no longer be a home for incompetent
favorites and refuge for paper trans
actions and the officials of government
who have been winking and blinking at
the civil service law and its enforce
ment as above set out are respectfully
referred to a Democratic administration
for the punishment due icarian politicians
who have we'll nigh exhausted their sup
ply of gambogo and merit the yataghan. ="

early this afternoon and received a num-
ber of friendly calls. Then he took a
nap. When. the newspaper men entered
his study he was standing before the
open fireplace nibbling toasted crackers.
His two days of rest appeared to have
greatly freshened him.
Now I'm feeling fit," he said, re-
ferring to his easy day.
1t is not the Governors intention to
attend the hearings which will begin
Monday morning on the corporation bills
introduced in the Legislature at his in
stance. He expects, however, to have
a talk with the Senators and Assembly
men about them at conference next
Tuesday.
The Governor had no comment to
make when he was told that the reso-
luton OF Senator Works, which extends
the Presidential term to six years. had
passed the Senate.
The Governor did not take his Gus
tcmary walk this afternoon. His only
adventure of the day was in Newark.
where he was photographed by a
twelve-year- r-old miss, who was as de-
termined to get his picture as she was
bashful about asking him to get where
she could get a sood view. Noticing her
efforts as he stood on the platform at
the Newark station. the Governor turn
ed and said smilingly:
wait minute until ! get out there
in the light" Then he posed until the
little girl snapped him. She thanked
him bashfuIly and ran happily into the
train.
