SENATE REWARDS
VETERAN S0L0N
"Uncle Shelby" CulIom Made
Resident Commissioner"
for Lincoln Memorial.
HOUSE WILL PASS BILL
Father Of Project Honored by Col
leagues Through Resolution Intro
dueed by Senator Root.

In a farewell compliment to Senator
Shelby NJ. Cullom Of Illinois, the Senate
last night passed by unanimous vote a
resolution introduced by Senator Root OF
New York, making him resident COM
missioner in Washington during the
construction of the 100000 Lincoln me-
5000 year. There Is no doubt but that
the House will concur In the Senate
resolution.
Senator Cullom leaves the Senate on
Tuesday noon. after nearly thirty years
service in that body. He is now eighty
four years old. and after an almost con-
tinuous service In public life extending
over more than sixty years. is without
any considerable private means.
Senator Cullom is the only man in the
Senate to-day who enjoyed the personal
friendship of Abraham Lincoln, and II
has been his fondest hope In his later
years that he might live to see Congress
take definite action for the erection in
Washington of a fitting memorial to the
martyred President.
1t was largely through the persistent
efforts OF Senator Cullom that the ap-
prova1 by Congress of the plans for a
Lincoln memorial was secured this
winter. Senator Cullom served as
chairman Of the memorial commission
without compensation.
Besides his seat In the Senate. Sena-
tor Cullom relinquishes the important
position of chairman Of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, an ONCE he has
held for many years.
Senator Cullom was born in Wayne
County. Ky, November 30. 1929. and
his father removed to Illinois the fol-
lowing year. He began the practice OF
law in Springfield. ILL.,. in 1853. and
was Immediately elected city attorney.
He began a long service In the Illinois
House of Representatives in 1856. and
at one time was Speaker In that body.
He served his first term in the Ma
tional House of Representatives in
1865. At the Republican National Con-
vention in 1872 he placed Gen. Grant in
nomination for the Presidency. He was
Governor of Illinois from 1876 to 1883.
when he resigned to take a seat in the
Senate, succeeding David Davis. Inde-
pendent Democrat Senator Cullom has
been in the Senate ever since that date,
but failed of Endorsement for another
term in the campaign last year

DRAWS LINE ON 1000 KISSES.
willing to Receive One Smack, but
Objects to whoIesale Scale.

Montreal, Quebec. March 2.-The Indian
custom that prescribes one kiss from the
chief magistrate for every girl in the
village on New Years Day brought Judge
Leet to the consideration Of a knotty
point of law.
Lucy Deer. a pretty Indian of CauGh-
nawaga, charged Mayor Patton, of that
village. with assault because he was not
satisfied with one kiss prescribed by Gus
tom. but insisted on giving her 'aTproNi-
mately LOO osculatory congratulations.
1t was explained that the Indian Mayor
is given six days In which to perform the
rite of kissing every girl in the village.
Lucy Deer said she was willing to live
up to the custom prescribing the one
mayoralty embrace, but that the Mayor
exceeded his duties by far. Judge Lcet
reserved his decision.

New York. March 2.-The blue law
campaign in Yonkers now threatens to
result in the elimination of kissing
games at house parties Miss Margaret
8. Dodge, a public stenographer, who
has taken an active interest in dance
hall reform. has spoken abainst promis-
cuous kissing.
''Often It happens that girls and boys
who had never even seen each other be-
fore meet and kiss and carry on dis
gracefully she said last night Il
would ask the Aldermea to regulate
these parties. but I am afraid they could
not invade the homes. This practice, to
my mind, is worse than the dance halls.
Reform, like charity. should begin at
home, and mothers and fathers should
get busy and protect their children from
the evil tendencies Of the times

REPORT ATTACKS
HARVESTER TRUST
Bureau Of Corporations Re-
view Takes Slap at Roose-
welt and Perkins.
MONOPOLY Is CHARGED
Unfair Methods Alleged to Have Been
! Used to Obtain Control Of
Implement Trade.

The Bureau Of Corporations has made
pblic its report on the five years or
sore investigation of the International
Harvester Company, and the report in
Specific terms holds that the Harvester
tompany's position in its particular in
tlustry is chiefly attributable to a mon
Ppolistic combination in the harvesting
machine business. certain unfair competi-
tive methods and superior command of
fapital.
sn the report indicate clearly that Col.
Roosevelt, while President of the United
Estates, used his influence with the then
Commissioner of Corporations. Herbert
Knox Smith. to put the soft pedal on
the investigation, because he believed
representations made by George W. Per-
ktns. of the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan
. & Co. 1t will be recalled that dur
ing the last campaign it was charged
by the Republican National Committee
that Col Roosevelt instructed Commits
sioner of Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith TO side-track the investigation
against the International Harvester Com
pany. as the result of conferences held
between Mr. Perkins and Col. Roosevelt,
and that Col. Roosevelt was actuated by
contributions which had been made TO
finance his campaign for reelection.
Perkins Is Accused.
The report accuses Mr.. Perkins of
Misrepresentation to Col. Roosevelt and
of the acquiescence OF Col Roosevelt in
Mr.. Perkins suggestion that the investi-
cation SHOULD be deferred and of Col.
Roosevelt, then as President, issuing
formal instructions to Herbert Knox
Smith putting the soft pedal on the in
vestigation.
Tho Government has now handing
against the International Harvester Com
pany a suit for its dissolution, and the
report says that as result of this suit
the company has been split into two cor
porations, one of which the International
Harvester Company, Of New Jersey. re-
tatns the old harvesting machine plants
and related business, and the other, the
International Harvester Corporation,
takes over the new lines and foreign
business. and each of these concerns is
capitalized at 100000.
III this is intended as part of a plan
for ultimate disintegration of the COM
bination-'' says the report, "in the opin-
ion of the bureau 1t is unsatisfactory"
The report says that almost imme-
diately after its organization the Inter
national Harvester Company commenced
the acquisition of competing makers of
harvesting machines. The report also

MAY See YOURSELF
AS Others See YOU
New Mirror Invented BY S. w. Eddy
Reflects Exact Tints Of
Human Face.
DISCOVERY AN ACCIDENT

Lincoln, Nebr, March 2-Robert Burns
''Wad some power the giftie gle us to
see ourselves as others see u.s. has been
answered by Seth w. Eddy. Of Lincoln.
Mr.. Eddys achievement consists In the
production of a mirror that actually re-
fleets Il person in every particular. it's
marvellous property consisting in its
faithful reproduction of flesh tints.
Glass used for mirrors contains enough
green and blue tints, as a result of pres
ent methods of manufacture. to rob the
human countenance Of those hues. Mr..
Eddy's invention consists merely Of the
addition to the plate glass making form
ula Of a pink pigment that neutralizes
these two tints and enables the user to
actually see himself as others see him.
Mr.. Eddy was visiting his old home,
a little town in New England, when,
passing a church just after a severe
wind storm, he saw that tree limb
had broken a stained glass window. The
fragments lay on the ground. One Of
the pieces showed only a hint of color.
Turning 1t edgeways he saw that II was
light but beautifully tinted pink. He
carried II home and laid il on a highly
polished silver card tray. As it lay it
was a perfect mirroS. The countenance
that looked out at him from 1t was SO
different from the one that was reflect
startled. The familiar reflection from
the common mirror showed an apparent
ly anaemic countenance. pale, with yell
lowish discolorations the eyes dull, and
the hair lifeless. The improvised mir
ror disclosed countenance suffused
with a pink flush and hair that looked
distinctly alive.
Difncult TO Get Tint.
But this phenomenon was but the real
izations of theories that Mr.. Eddy had
long held. A relative who had made
important discoveries along other lines
advised him, to patent the idea. Accord
ingly he prepared specifications and
sent them to Washington. His claim
was rejected.
Mr.. Eddy Immediately filed revised
specifications, and for three years con-
Quoted a correspondence with the Patent
Commissioner 1t ended in the Patent
Examiner admitting the soundness OF
Eddy's contentious. but asked him to
submit for inspection mirror made
after his formula.
This proved to be difficult. He had
trouble in getting glass OF light pink
shade. Manufacturer after manufacturer
to whom he applied had never heard Of
any such glass. He wrote TO Englani
and to Continental manufacturers. only
to receive the same answer.
Eventually one manufacturer In a
small town in Germany wrote that he
had produced such a glass many years
before and thought he could do 1t again.
He did produce 1t.
When Mr.. Eddy received the plates he
had them grouped, polished, and silver
ed. and when the Patent Examiner re-
ceived one he promptly allowed the pat
