Partner Of Charles

Contractors Take Stand in
nellessey's New York
Graft Probe

New York, Nov. 21 George H.
Mcclure. Syracuse, N. y, bonding
agent for the state highway and
barge canal contractors, testified that
he is partner of Charles F. Murphy
Jr., nephew of the leader OF Tam
many Hall, in the John Doe" inquiry
into highway graft.
He said he had an agreement to
divide all the bonding business and
also confessed to attempts to "hold
up" at least three asphalt companies
for $4,000 contributions to the Dem
ocratic committee in return for get
ting them contracts from the state
highway department.
He was to get commission OF
one cent per gallon on all the as
phalt s0fd. ne says two companies
did not contribute, but was not. sure
Of the third, which did get the con.
tracts.
He said he received $1250 from Ar
thur 8. Johnson, sales manager OF
the Barber Asphalt company, but IN
sisted that 1t was not a commission,
hut was money given him as his con-
tribnti0ns to Splzer. s
Mcclure again denied that he and
his brother had seen Sulzer and John
N. Carlisle. commissioner of high
ways, at CooperstOwn on July last
and discussed the specifications un.
der which the Barber company would
obtain contracts to the exclusion OF
other companies.
Mcclure was preceded on the stand
by Edward P. Burgard, Buffalo con-
tractor, who testified that he had
two and one-half million dollars OF
state barge contracts and several
smaller road contracts. He contrib,
uted $4,000 to the state committee
and turned over $4,000 from other
companies given him by Reeves
Smith, the consulting engineer.
Three other contractors testified to
giving 5000 each to Everett P. Fow.
ler, the alleged Tammany "bagman."

FLAX TABLES
ARE PUT OUT
Of BUSINESS

The railroad commission has just.
issued an order which will in effect
put out of business the flax tables
commonly used in grain elevators OF
the state and against which great
deal OF complaint has been made by
farmers because of the manifest un-
fairness and injustice to the seller
worked through most of these ta-
bles.
1t has been the universal custom
to test flax on the request Of the.
seller; but instead OF taking the ex-
act proportion of dockage per bushel
indicated by the test, the tables have
been referred to as giving the COR
rect percentage, with the result of
general loss to the farmer through
the incOrrectness of the tables. Fol
lowing is the new rule:
Rule 26. In computing the num-,
ber of pounds of dirt or foreign mat
ter in small grain; no table shall be
used which justifies taking a greater
number of pounds of dockage than
the percentage arrived at in the test
will warrant"

Washington, March 13.-For the first
time since the brief administration OF
President Taylor the presidential
household has three manageable girls
forming a part of it. The advent Of
President and Mrs. Wilson and their
or more White. House weddings dur
urally aroused Washington society to
speculation as to the possibility of one
ore more White House weddings dur
ing the administration now begun.
The first White House wedding took
place little more than a century ago,
when Mrs. Madison's younger sister,
Lucy Payne Washington, widow of a
nephew of George Washington, was
the bride.
During President Jackson's admin
istration three weddings took place in

union, and every indication is that it
will be one of the most delightful
meetings the veterans have ever en-
joyed.
The environments of Chattanooga
are ideal for a reunion of the Con-
federate veterans. The battlefields
are the chief points of interest, of
course, but they are not all by any
means.
Chattanooga Is a modern city of
100000 population, with greater num-
Der of manufacturing plants than any
city in the Southern states, turning
out more than 700 different products
that go practically all over the world.
The mountain scenery is not excelled
in any other section of the South.
Some years ago Prince Henry of
Prussia spent a day in Chattanooga
and made a trip to the top of his
toric Lookout Mountain. After view
ing the panorama from that eminence
he exclaimed: There is nothing finer
in all Europe"
Every tourist who has travelled in
European countries passes the same
eulogy on these mountains. The Con
federate veterans, however, know what
they are. Thousands of them Tough

ure to them to revisit the scenes o
the carnage through which they passed
in 1853. Those who were not in thu

A WORD ABOUT
NEGLECTED. COLDS
All Authorities Concur That Coughs
And Colds Sow the Seed For
Grippe and Pneumonia.

Few people realize how perilous 1t
is to allow coughs and colds to take
hold of the system. They weaken
every organ of the body, but more
especially the lungs. Examination of
these organs often show that if they
had been strengthened before the
germs gained mastery, that a COM
plete cure could have been effected.
This is the function of Ge-Rar-Dy Lung
Balsam. If used in time it will pre-
vent more dangerous diseases, such
as pneumonia and consumption. 1t
quickly relieves coughs, colds and
Group, soothes and heals the affected
membranes, restores the bronchial
tubes to their normal condition, makes
all the tissues strong and healthy.
Ge-Rar-Dy Lung Balsam is very
pleasant to take and for this reason 1t
should be kept constantly on hand for
the children. Group is liable to ap-
pear any time in your family and
whooping cough is always with US.
All druggists sell Ge-Rar-Dy Lung
Balsam for 25c a bottle. A small bot
tie of prevention" before the disease
grows is worth its weight in gold.
