 From the capaeious desk the mas ter criminal pulled a set of small drills. vises, and other jewellers tools and placed them on the table

 Carefully he piled his hands to the job, regardless of time.

The Rajahs, who appear at the Pax
tang Park theater this week in an in
terestine mind reading act, have made
an extraordinary proposition which
they promise to carry out on Friday
evening. Madam Rajah has promised
to answer any question that anyone
may put to her.
The promise to locate stolen or lost
articles: tell the whereabouts of mis-
sing people, etc. in fact the pretty
East Indian promises a satisfactory
answer to almost any question her
auditors may ask of her. This prom
ises to be, most interesting perform

the extent of the power Of the much
talked of Hindoo mysticism, If there is
such a power. The claims of the Rajahs
are so sweeping and they promise SO
much that person is at once puzzled

for Friday evening seems beyond the

WEED SEEDS USED
TO DEFRAUD FOLKS
Department of Agriculture Agents
Unearth Some Unique Schemes
in Use of MoIasses

A number of prosecutions have been
ordered by agents of the Department
of Agriculture against dealers located
in various sections of the State for the
sale of feeding stuffs found to have
been sold in violation of the law.
They include several cottonseed meals
adulterated with cottonseed hulls, sew
eral poultry foods adulterated with
large quantities of weed seeds and a
number of other feeds misbranded
and incorrectly labeled.
A number of cases were considered
representing a certain brand of ma
terial sold as a feed which is a mix
ture of small percentage of sphag-
mum moss, used as an absorbant, and
containing large proportion of mo-
lasses. This product is being sold at
about S35 per ton, and while the law
was not being violated in the sale of
this product, it is felt that consumers
of feeding stuffs should be informed
of the small amount of feeding value
which 1t contains, as it is very low in
protein. containing not over six per
cent. of combined protein and fat.
The nature of the product is simply
molasses, which is absorbed by the
moss and contains about twenty per
cent of water Fhe department
agents say they cannot understand
why this product should be sold in
the nature of a feed at the high price
charged, as it would appear that it
would be better economy to buy the
molasses in its original form for feed
ing purposes The attention of the
feeders is, therefore, called to this sit
uation in order that they may note
carefully the method of labelling of all
feeds sold, and to determine for them
selves whether or not they should
purchase straight" molasses or mo-
lasses which has been diluted and abb
sorbed by moss.

ESTIMATES MUST
REMAIN IN FORCE
Governor Indicates Policy in His
Veto of a Philadelphia Con-
tract Amendment

Governor Brumbaugh last night an
nounced his veto OF the McNichol SEN
ate bill amending the first, class city
act of 1885 in sections relating to con-
tracts. The Governor says that the
effect of the bill would be to do away
entirely with the preliminary estimate
on contracts which is now the limit.
"It would relieve an official from sit
tins down and counting the cost of
any proposed municipal improvement
before proceeding with its construc-
tion," says the Governor. "In public
affairs as in ones private affairs 1t is
always wise to look before you leap.
To start the city upon an enterprise
without previous estimate of the cost,
which estimate would be restrictive
upon future outlays, would be most
hazardous. There are doubtless some
cases where such preliminary esti-
mate would not be necessary, and 1t
may at times be difficult to measure
even approximately some desired i'm
provements, but such cases ought not
to outweigh the larger safety and
benefit which present law throws about
the city's expenditures"
The Governor also vetoed the House
bill to prevent municipalities from
opening streets through lands of any
educational institution conducted by
the Commonwealth. He says the title
Is defective and in any event no mu-
nicipality can take state land. He
holds that the bill is superfluous as
far as certain facts apply and that Ito
legislate for a situation that is anom-
alous is not wise"
Other vetoes announced are:
House bill amending act of 1895
relative to rebuilding of county bridges
destroyed by fire or food, on which
the Governor says: Its language is
not clear. 1t may involve the State
in rebuilding all county bridges" and
would relieve counties of expenses
they should bear and put an undue
burden on the commonwealth"
Senate bill amending methods of
obtaining charters for second class
corporations, on which the Governor
says: This bill would allow a cor
poration to begin business with $500
in its treasury. 1t does away with
publication of notice OF intention to
apply for charters. The people ought
to know what they legally license.
The present law has not kept
industries from our state and is suf-
ficiently lucid and effective to answer
all practical purposes. Moreover, 1t
is now well known and generally ap-
proved"
Senate bill amending foreign cor
poration act to permit laundry COM
panies chartered in other states to
hold real estate in Pennsylvania. The
Governor says: Unfortunately, the
acts to be repealed are not correctly
cited and the bill is defective"
