slowly but surely King Alcohol caught
him in his grip. He neglected his
work, his real friends left him and he
ds'ifted from bad into worse company.
He abused his wife in such a manner
that she was compelled to leave him.
he lost his position and his only
friends were the saloonkeepers and
his drinking acquaintances. But when
his money was all gone, they also left
him and ne came to the big city. to try
his luck. He endeavored to give up
drinking, but the craving overpowered
him every time and his very last pen

f'Senator TiIIman's AIIegoricaI
: Cows" Contain Attack on
Wall Street Methods.

For the first time ever the Con-
Eressional Record Of today appeared
with cartoons, a whole page of them,
inspired by Senator Tillman, and in
cluded in the proceedings Of Congress
at tine South Carolina Senator's re-
quest. Printing of illustrations in the
Record Is unusual, while a cartoon
never before appeared on its pages
ILL today.
Wall Street is busy milking the Amer
lean COW, according to the Tillman-in-
spfred cartoons. They were prepared
eighteen years ago by Mr. Tillman, to
accompany an article he had written for
New York newspaper. One of the
Allegorical Cow" The other is "Sena-

The first cartoon shows 1.-The cow,
symbolfcal of national resources, feed

her golden milk is all drawn by the
gentlemen Of ability in Wall Street

In this scene. while the head of the
cow is way out beyond the Mississippi,
getting sustenance, a fat magnate in
New York is milking her. and the milk
is falling into a pail with the name
wall Street" upon it.
Inc second cow is feeding on Wall
Street. while two disappointed Western
farmers are trying in vain to milk her.
The legend says: -I-'I -,
In this cartoon, Senator Tillman
shows the result of the attempt of the
farmers to turn the big COW around. TO
let her feed on income tax in the East,
while they should milk her in the West.
But the COW, as Senator Tillman draws
her, was not q reversible cow As soon
as she tried to feed on income tax, the
Supreme Court seized her by the throat,
as a reminder that she must do her
eating exclusively in the agricultural
leGions- The farmers in the West are

CRUDE OIL AS NAVY
FUEL FOR GENERATION
Secretary Lane Reports to Daniels
Possible Future Supply From
the United States.

Crude oil. as a fuel for the navy. will
be available from fields in the United
States, particularly the California field,
for at least a generation to come. This,
in effect, is the substance of a. letter
written by Secretary Lane Of the Inte-
rior to Secretary Daniels Of the Navy in
response to inquiries by the latter con-
corning oil resources.
Twenty years hence says Secretary
Lane, the price of fuel oil, which then,
as now, will be produced chiefly in Cali
fornia. will be much higher than at pres
ent, and the production will probably
have declined seriously. The failure of
the oil supplies of the United States will
not take place suddenly. The decline
will be gradual and will tend constantly
to be checked by rising prices.
mo relief can be expected in the price
of fuel oil at Atlantic ports for CONNER
cial uses. Relief to the navy from In
creasing commercial prices can probably
be secured only by the development Of its
own reserves, where 1T should be possible
to produce oils at approximately the pres
ent cost of probationary cents or less
per barrel, plus transportation to the
point of use.'
Secretary Lane expressed the belief that
the navy could rely on the reserves al
ready existing for an oil supply for a Pc
riod greater than the life of any battle
ship to be constructed within the next
decade.

VERDICT FOR $4,000
AGAINST THE DISTRICT
Jury Establishes New High Record
in Award for Per-
sona1 Injury.

A verdict for $4,000 damages was
awarded against the District of Co
lumbia today by a jury in Circuit
Court No before Justice Wright in
favor of Walter p. Flagg, a former
employee of the District. The verdict is
said to be the largest personal injury
award ever given against the munich
patty, and one of the largest ever
returned by a jury in the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia in a
personal injury case.
Flagg was employed as fireman at the
Bryant street pumping station, and Oc-
tober 6, 1910, a large power boiler ex-
ploded and threw the fireman from a
coal chute above the boiler to the con-
crete floor Of the station, about twenty
five feet below. Flagg fell upon his
head, tearing large hole in his forehead.
1t was necessary to remove about two
inches Of the frontal bone.
The testimony showed the injured man
to have been a physical wreck since the
accident.
In defense, the District urged absence
of negligence claiming the boiler was
properly inspected and reasonably and
properly maintained and operated.
Attorneys j. S. Easily Smith, Ralph b.
Fleharty and Charles II. Merillat repre-
scented the plaintiff. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Marshall appeared for the
District.

HEALTH Department
BARRED FROM ACTION
District Authorities Cannot Prose
cute for Alleged Violation of
Pure Food Laws.

The local health department officials
were stripped of authority to bring prose-
cutions in the Police Court for alleged
violations of the pure food law, by a
decision Of Judge Pugh yesterday. By
the terms of this decision all prosecutions
for alleged violations must be brought
by the Department Of Agriculture under
the power given by the act of Congress of
June so, 1906.
The case in which this decision was
made was that of Charles A. Cortpton,
a grocer, who was on trial for alleged
adulteration of lard, it being charged
that the lard in question, having been
sold as pure lard, contained matter other
than the fat of hogs. After health de-
partment officials had testified, and chem
lists who had analysed the lard had been
heard, Attorney Greed NJ. Fulton, who
represented the accused grocer. moved
that the court take the case from the
jury and direct verdict of not guilty
on the ground that the act of Congress
of June 80, 1906. commonly known as the
pure food law" repealed the act of
February IL, 1893.
Mr.. Fulton explained that the authority
under which the prosecution of his client
was brought was derived from the former
act, the third section Of which defined
the meaning of impure food. This Sec
ton of ths act is the only authority given
the health department Of Washington to
prosecute cases of the character before
the court. Mr.. Fulton said. and this was
the section which, he continued, was re-
pealed by the later law.
After counsel for the government and
Mr. Fulton had argued the motion. Judge
Pugh granted it. directing the jury to re-
turn a verdict OF not guilty without any
further testimony.

NAVY OFFICIALS PLAN
FOR NEW BATTLESHIPS
Preparing for the Construction of
Vessels Recently Authorized
by Congress.

Officials of the naval bureau Of con-
struction and repair are engaged in MAX
ing designs for the new vessels authorized
in the recent naval appropriation act.
The program includes one battleship, six
torpedo boat destroyers, four submarines,
one transport and one supply ship.
The battlesh.p will be practically the
same as the Pennsylvania, the contract
for which was awarded recently to the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company of
Newport News, Va. There may be some
difference in armor distribution and
Follow Old Designs.
The .destroyers and submarines will be
practically the same design as those for
which contracts were recently awarded.
The transport will be the first vessel
of that type constructed solely for the
use of the navy 1t will be used primarily
for the TRANSPORTATION of marine eXpedi-
tionary forces. The transports now In
use are converted merchant vessels. The
new vessel will be arranged to carry
1.JOO officers and men.
Special attention will be given to the
accommodations for the enlisted men and
commissioned personnel, so that no IN
convenience will be experienced in the
event that the men are required to remain
for some time on board the vessel. The
supply ship will be equipped with re-
frieerating devices for meats and other
perishable supplies.

LESSER-ELY AFFAIRS
STILL COMPLICATED

Memphis, April 2S.--Arfairs of the Les
ser-Ely Cotton company of this city, for
which Il receiver was appointed this
morning, were further complicated late
today when an intervening petition in
bankruptcy was filed in which the as
sertion is made that it is believed ware
house receipts arc outstanding for a
greater amount of cotton than is actually
held by a local warehouse man. An in
junction forbidding the removal of any
cotton stored in Memphis by the Lesser
Ely company was granted.
This, with the taking over of the ar
fairs of the concern by ]. w, Brown, re-
ceiver, was the only tangible result OF
several informal conferences today OF
creditors of the firm and holders of ware
house receipts. 1t is stated. however,
that certain of the creditors may ask
United States District Judge John f.
Mccall, before whom bankruptcy pro
ceedings were Instituted last Saturday
that their claims be given priority.
Relatives of Leo Lesser, president OF
| the cotton company and who held like
position with the Bank of Tuniea, Miss.
which closed its doors Saturday morn
ing. stated tonight that they were en-
| tirely without knowledge as to the
whereabouts of Lesser. Reports that Mr.
