TURN ON THE LIGHT

The humiliating confession which
Senator Thomas of Colorado has been
obliged to make to the senate is a pow
erful argument in favor of the public
hearings on the Underwood bill that
are being so earnestly advocated by
the Republicans, says the Herald-Re
publican. The Colorado senator has
been one of the most consistent enc
mics of the beet sugar business de-
spite the fact that it is one of the
chief industries of his state.
Recently on the floor of the senate
he charged that workers in the Colo
RADIO beet fields were largely foreign
ers who received a paltry pittanee.
His constituents, knowing him to be
either a deliberate f~alsifer or woeful-
" ignorant, have bombarded him and
his fellow-senators with denials. As a
result, Mr.. Thomas has repudiated his
former statement and %apologized.
1t is probable that Senator Thomas
was OHlN mlSlulOIl Htu, anu Hdu NJ III
tention to deceive. but however he was
led into his error, it is obvious that
other mistakes of equal Importance
will occur. The Underwood measure
was drawn by men with only super
fetal knowledge of American indus
tries and with but hay ideas of the
laws possible results. There were no
hearings before the house committee,
and the bill was finally shaped in a Sc
cret caucus by the majority.
In order to eliminate error, and to
inform the public fully, it is essential
before the legislation passes the sen
ate the industries affected have oppor-
tunity to appear publicly and state
their objections with the reasons
therefor.

IRON TOOLS FOUND
THAT TURNED TO COPPER

A curious find vas made in one of
the copper mines at FL Cobre, Cuba.
These mines, once among the richest in
the world, were abandoned for a long
time ON account of the insurrection in
Cuba against the Spanish rule. In
1865 the coal supply was cut off by the
insurgents, and consequently pumping
became impossible and the mines be
came filled with water. After the
Spanish wal an American company
bought the mines and proceeded to
pump out the water. In one of the
shafts thus made accessible was found
what once represented an iron pickax,
as well as some erowbars. The metal
in these implements had, it is said,
turned to copper.
Extraordinary as this may appear, it
can be scientifically explained. The
water, fltering through the rock and
the copper ore veins, dissolved some of
the copper, the solution containing
sulphate of copper. AS soon as the
%sulphuric acid in this solution touched

FATE OF CAPITAL IN
BALANCE so YEARS AGO.

Washington, July 11.-Civil war vet
Grams and old residents of George town
and Washington today recalled that the
fate of the National Capital trembled
in the balance exactly so years ago
when the Confederate troops under
General Early placed Washington in a
state of siege. The defense by the
Union troops lasted until July 13. The
Sixth Army Corps arrived from the
army of the Potomac which had Just
defeated Lee at Gettysburg, and was
starting the siege of Richmond, Va. 1t
was only after the Sixth Corps and ad-
ditioral reinforcements came up that
Washington was saved from possible
occupation by the Confederates, who
withdrew into Virginia.
" Washington has never seen more
dramatic time" said an old veteran
today. "The startling news that Gen
eral Early was so close to Washington
chilled the residents of the city and
caused such a CONSERVATION, remem-
ber distinctly how it was feared that
the dashing Confederate cavalry would
charge into the city and raid the treas
ury department, the war department
and the White House. I was in charge
of company guarding the war depart
ment. When the rattle of musketry
broke out in the northwest we knew
that the soldiers in the trenches at
Fort Stevens were being engaged. Pres
ident Lincoln was on the battle line
for short time at Fort Stevens. Near
ly 5000 soldiers took part in the de-
fense of Washington"
