CATION continued in session today
When the days session Of the con-
gressional strike investigating com
mittee opened today, it was announc-
ed that General John Chase was In

witness stand during the day. The

ness said that the state had received
more than $4,000 in royalties on $40
acres of land included in the Delagua
property Of the Victor-American Fuel
company. The state is paid a royalty
Of 10 cents ton on all coal mined
from its land. Mr.. Cove brought out
the statement that ip the GAO acres at
DeIagua the state has already receiy-
ed more royalties than the highest
price ever charged by the United
States government in selling lands
outright
The strikers then called M. II. ClapD,
former sheriff of Boulder county. and
warden Of the Colorado state refor-
matory. He told Of theanorthen Colo
RADIO strike Of 1910, and the various
disorders with whichahe had to deal
in his official capacity. He said that
during the acute period Of the strike,
he employed from three to II dep
uties to keep the peace in the 26 mines
of Boulder county. These deputies
we're paid by the county at the rate
of 81 day. Mr. Capp then related
the alleged offer Of $4,000 and more
for deputy sheriff's commissions.
On Cross-examinatio the witness
was closely questioned regarding his
relation with the strikers, counsel for
the operators seeking to establish
that he favored the unions in the la

that he never had issued any deputy

had mentioned as having threatened
him during the strike Of 1910, wah put
on the stand by the operators. He
stated that he was attorney for the
Northern Coal and Coke company dur
ing the early stages OF the strike. He
related what he said were the expert
ences Of the northern operators wi n
the United Mine Workers Of America,
declaring that The miners walked out

MUSIC LOVERS ARE
GIVEN REAL TREAT
Washington Symphony 0rches-
ira Meets Exacting Pro-
gram in Mastery Manner.

Heinrich Hammer reappeared ycStCr-
day afternoon at the Columbia Theater
with his renovated Washington SYM
phuny ORCHESTRA.
Washington music lovers would show
very good taste indeed By patronizirg
this local orchestra with all Of the en-
tlusiasm with which they attCEded the
symphony concerts of the visiting or
Chestras Of other cities. Ever since Mr..
Hammer made his appearance in wash
ington, there has been a valiant at
tempt on his part to present to Wash
iugton a symphony orchestra worthy of
the Capital of the Nation. Either from
lack Of sympathetic interest, or from
deliberate opposition on the part of
Washingtonians the organization has
not flourished in the manner in which
il should.
There is no reason why a long series
of concerts. and an extended tour in
the concert season should not be pos
sible for this orchestra. The work OF
MI. Hammer as a director compares
most favorably with that of directors Of
like organizations of other cities.
Although recently reassembled, the
program of yesterday suffered nothing
in consequence. Elias Breeskin. violin

SAYS SULPHUR
DRIVES ECZEMA
FROM THE SKIN
Use like cold cream to in
stantly stop itching and
clear the skin.

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol-
ogist, just common bold-sulphur made
into a thick cream will soothe and heal
the skin when irritated and broken out
with Eczema or any form or eruption.
The moment it is applied all itching
ceases and after two or three appliCa-
tions the Eczema disappears, leaving
the skin clear and smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get from
any good pharmacy an ounce OF bold
sulphur cream and apply it TO the irri-
tated parts the same as you woulI any
cold cream.
For many years common boid-sulpilIr
has occupied a secure position in the
practice of dermatology and cutancous
affections bv reason of its parastte-de-
stroying property. 1t is not only para
siticidal, but also antipruritiS, anti
septic and remarkably healing in all
irritable and infiammatory conditions Of
the skin. While not always eftecting a
permanent cure it never fails to in
stantly subdue the angry itching and
irritation and heal the Eczema right
UP and it is often years later before
any eruption again appears on the skin

Keokuk is more fortunate than soma
of the cities in the matter of teachers
being in Europe and unable to return
home. Not that the school boy is par
ticularly worrying over situation OF
this sort, but the school boards OF
some of the cities in Iowa are facing
the problem Of substitute pedagogues
or delayed opening of schools until
the stranded teachers can get back
home to take up work The opening
of school Is only month away and
the situation is particularly serious in
some places.
Miss Mary j. Gampert is the only
regular teacher employed by the Keo-
kuk school board, who is in the war
zone. She Is in the Hague, Holland.
1t is expected that she will return as
soon as possible.
