the weather is cold, the moths will do
no injury. But as soon as the furs are
discarded because of warm weather the
war against the moth must begin.
Moths detest light and air. They love
warm. dark closets and drawers. So if
for some reason you cannot put your
furs away Immediately, hang them in
a cool room where there is a ercula-
ton of air, with as much light and sun
shine as possible. Don't let sunshine
fall directly on the fur, for some furriers
say that the sunshine of spring fades
and discolors fur.
If there are signs of moth eggs-the
eggs are white and quite big enough
to see-shake the fur out of doors. The
best thing to do next is to take it to
a reliable furrier and pay him for caring
for it.
If that is out of the question, try
saturating the places where the eggs
are with a quart of spirits of rosemary,
in which 80 grams of acetate OF potash
have been dissolved.
Furs should not be brushed. The bris-
ties are likely to pull out the hairs.
But they can be safely combed with
coarse toothed steel comb, and this
combing sometimes removes moth eggs.
No fur should be put away until it
has been thoroughly cleaned.
Sometimes hanging in the air, in the
shade out of doors, where the wind can
blow the hairs apart, will remove all
the dirt that has collected on it.
Sometimes the fur seems to be some
what oily and the hairs appear to have
lost some of their normal fuffiness. In
such a case the fur should be sprinkled
with powdered starch and left, covered
in a box or bag, for "a hours. Then the
starch should be thoroughly shaken out
and the fur aired.

Put Away Furs Now.

Experts on fur say that the colder
furs are kept the better Fur producing
animals live in cold climates, so their
covering of fur must be adapted to stand
cold weather.
Whatever the verdict of the experts,
the sooner we put our furs away, even
if we put them into an attic where the
temperature is high, the less likelihood
there is that moths will ruin them.
So it behooves us to discard our furs
with the first warm days and to put
them away Immediately, says New
York Times writer If they are to go
into cold storage, where. it is said their
natural oils are not dried out as they
are in a warm temperature, they should
90 before they have had chance to be
affected by the warmth. If they are
to 90 into the attic, they should 60 be-
fore the moths have got after them.
Evon cold storage is not proof against
moth eggs. If once the eggs are laid
there seems TO be little hope of preserv-
ing the fur intact. The eggs will not
hatch while the fur is in cold storage,
but the cold storage man will make no
promise that the eggs won't hatch as
soon as the fur is brought into a warm
room next autumn.
So the point is not to let the moths
get into the furs.
While the furs are in daily use, and

A Lesson to Vermont.

A news dispatch which recently an.
peared in The Messenger which told OF
the appeal made by the chairman of
the Maine Progressives to the Progress
sives of Vermont not to join in the sup
port of Charles A. Prouty for the SEN
ate because that one had declared that
if he ran at all it would be as a Repub-
lican, was good indication that the
third party in the Pine Tree state is
fighting for its very life. for it could
not afford the example of the party in
this state helping to elect such a good
man as Mr.. Prouty. Interesting light
is thrown on this state of affairs by the
call issued for the Republican state con-
vention in Maine. The call invites all
electors "who are opposed to free trade
and other declared policies of the Demo-
cratic party to send delegates to Port
land April o." The delegates who are
gathered in Portland as the result of
this call are to select for the new party
committee "men who win correctly in
terpret and continue fully responsive to
the spirit of the new Republicanism
which now dominates the councils Of the
party"
This is nothing. absolutely nothing,
if it is not an invitation to the Progress
sives to return to the fold. Further
more than this. it is a promise that
Progre.sives will be recognized and be
given positions in the councils of the
Republican party. 1t is an open and
practically an avowed attempt 10 com
bine the natural opposition to the Dem
ocratic party. It Is a mighty construc-
tive step, so constructive and so logical
in its appeal that it evidently has fright
ened the Progressive chairman in the
Pine Tree state. 1t has become appar-
ent that there is nothing to be gained
by keeping unhealed the breach now ex-
isting, nothing except the continued sue
cess OF the Democratic party. 1t looks
as if the Republicans and Progressives
were marching toward common ground.
And in it there is lesson for Vermont
which ought not to be permitted to go

Fiala Tells of the Roosevelt

MEMBER OF PARTY
REACHES NEW YORK
A Great Service Has Been
Rendered to Brazil
Geography

New York, May ANTHONY Fiala
the explorer, who was in Charge of one
Of the Roosevelt expeditions in Brazil
arrived in New York yesterday on the
steamship Denis from the Rio Janeiro
He wildly described the experiences
of the expedition both before and after
no separated from Colonel Roosevelt and
Kermit, on March "a.
Fiala did not know until yesterday,
however, that the colonel had emerged
safely from the jungle.
He said he had not expected to hear
from Mr.. Roosevelt before the latter
part of June.
] was with Colonel Roosevelt from
Christmas eve until March "a" said
Fiala. 81 went out in advance while he
remained behind to attend to some per-
sonal engagements.
"When the colonel finally joined the
advance party we struck out across the
country with a 400 mile Journey ahead
of us. At times we were all forced to
dismount from our horses and mules
and cut our way with knives through
the dense underground. The rainy sea-
son was on too, and sometimes we would
travel for two days at a time without
finding dry spot big enough on which
to camp.
when we reached Mattoo Crosse, we
rested for a couple of days and then we
all went hunting. In one party, which
went for tiger cats, were Colonel Roose-
welt, Kermit, a Brazilian chief of police,
a Brazilian colonel and several natives.
Kermit, | believe, is made of coiled wire,
all bound up in bronze. He is tougher
than his father, if such thing is pos
sible. The party started out early in
the morning and with nothing but a cup
of coffee in their stomachs they pushed
their way all day through swamps filled
with crocodiles and snakes in pursuit of
a tiger cat they had scared up.
"The Brazilians did the best they
could and with the negro boys kept up
for several hours, but the pace set by
the colonel, even in their own Jungle,
was too much for them. Late at night
boy returned to the camps and said that
the colonel and Kermit were about two
miles off in the jungle and We're trying
to get out. When they finally did come
ont their clothing was torn to shreds and
their arms and legs We're bleeding in
many places, but they were carrying the
Brazilians' guns and shoes. The Bra
2ilians had quit and were lying on their
backs in a dry place recuperating The
tiger cat got away

Senator Norris of Nebraska Offers the
Suggestion.

Washington, May Debate on the
repeal of the tolls exemption for Amer
lean coastwise vessels passing through
the Panama canal was inaugurated in
the Senate yesterday when Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska advocated an amend
ment to the House bill which would sub
nit to arbitration the right of the
United States to make toll exemption.
1T would satisfy the world as to the
honesty OF our contention and convince
all civilization that we are ready TO
abide by the fair and honest Judgment
of honest men," said Senator Norris. st

realization of the great demand of
humanity everywhere, that every honest
nation ought to be willing to submit
every honest dispute to trial in rea-
sons court" Senator Norris added that
if any American ships are to be exemp-
ed from the payment of tolls, he would
prefer the exemption of the American
ships engaged in the foreign rather than

cal Contributions
BILLIARD PROFIT
WAS $2,700,000
New Haven Auditor Tells of
Weird Transactions Not
in Company's Books

Washington, May 2.-Political activi-
ties of the New York, New Haven g.
Hartford railroad were brought to the
front yesterday in the interstate com
merce commissions investigation of af-
fairs of the road. Julia NJ. Thomlinson,
auditor of the New Haven, was ques-
toned about the campaign contributions
OF the road, which, he said did not APP
pear on the company's books. He told
OF stock account of former President
Mellen, a part of The earnings of which
were devoted to political purposes.
Mr.. Tomlinson said that his examina-
tion of the books of the New Haven
showed no expenditures for campaign
contributions.
"Did Mr.. Mellen say anything to you
as to political contributions T" asked
Counsel Folk.
He told me at one time" said Mr..
Tomlinson, that $4,000 was given to
the Republican national committee and
$4,000 to the Rhode Island Republican
state committee"
Mr.. Tomlinson further said that these
contributions did not 90 through his
hands, but he had heard Mr.. Mellen ex-
plain that he had made a profit of $l02,-
900 in dealings in stock and that the
political contributions were out of this
profit. Mr.. Mellen had given the COM
pany note when he purchased the
stock, Mr.. Tomlinson asserted, but he
did not know how the note was paid off.
MIR. Mellen never gave me any vouch
ers showing the payment of campaign
contributions said the witness.
DO you think your books would show
faithfully the political contributions of
the road7" asked Carl Gartner, examiner
in charge OF the investigation.
There were no such entries that |
can recall" said Mr.. Tomlnson.
He recalled, however, seeing voucher
of the Consolidated Railroad company a
New Haven subsidiary, showing the pay
ment of 100000 to Edward d. Robbins,
then general counsel for the New Haven
which he believed was for political pur-
poses.
Wasn't that charged to the account
of construction any way?" asked Mr..
Gartner.
Il couldn't say" the witness an
swered.
Mr.. Tomlinson said he thought the
DOCKS WOtid SHOW payment OF SZ5,UuO
to John Hall Mckay from the New Eng
land Navigate ompany, another sub
iddiary, and he would supply any
vouchers he cd find bearing on that
payment.
Mr.. Folk questioned Mr. Tomlinson as
to the relations of the Billiard company
with the New Haven, as shown by the
books. He handed Mr. Tomlinson
statement which Mr. Folk said showed
how much the Billiard company owed the
New England Navigation company and
asked him to read the figures. He said
he would not do this, but would prefer
to 60 by what was on the books at
New Haven.
Further questioning brought out that
Billiard had given a note to the naviga-
ton company for S2,4l9,993.7l. The
New Haven held the navigation COM
pany's note for Sll,000.00O. Billiards. !

Lead and Zinc in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma was the only one of the CEN
trail states which showed larger output
of both lead and zinc in 1913 than in
1912. The value OF the silver, lead and
zinc produced at mines in Oklahoma for
the year 1913, according to j. P. Dunlop,
of the United States Geological Survey,
was sl,s55,2l7 compared with 81 ,l0l,-
042 in 1912. The increased yield of lead
and zinc in 1913 was due entirely to
operations in the Miami field. Drilling
operations were conducted over a wide
area and resulted in finding some extern
sive bodies OF mineralized grounds, the
sinking of new shafts, and the erection
of concentrating plants.
