down the stairs one morning all eX-

In the atticr' he announced

crawling out of one~~of those big
idols"
All hands hurried to the attic.
There was a number of grotesque
wood, glass and plaster idols among
the curiosities taken from the uncle's
chest. Ralph pointed to one on
shelf.
There! There he insisted.
Edison lifted down the idol Sure
enough, out crawled the lost bronze
bug. Edison placed the idol on a
stand. In his excitement little Ralph
ran up against it, tipped the idol and
it was broken into bits upon the
floor.
But among the fragments was a
small silk purse. Within it was the
fortune the dead uncle had boosted OF
diamonds!
And now the future was provided
for, and through the kindly offices OF
the bronze bug Vance found speedy
way to the heart of the girl he loved.

British Government Suspicious Of
Steamer Loading With Cotton.

1ntimation from the British govern
ment that the former Hamburg-Amer-
lean steamer Dacia, loading ut Port
Arthur. Tex, with cotton for Bremen,
Germany. might be regarded as subject
to seizure beyond the three-mile limit
stirred government officials last night.
The questions involved are of great

merchant ships, but also to the south
ern cotton Interests. now eXcrting
every effort to find means of placing
the staple in the European markets.
Details of the British objection to the
cruise of the Dacia have not been made
public. but 1t is understood that the
British embassy claims 20 have infur-
nation indicating that the sale of rhe
ship by the Hamburg-Anecican Com
pany was not bona fide.
This fact, If established, would be re-
garded as sufficient grounds for the
British objection and consequently it
would be unnecessary for the British
government to raise the BROADER ques-
tion OF. the right of the American s..v-
ernment to confer registry upon any

ent power after the outbreak of host;li-

esting Lecture on West by Clar-
ence J. Blanchard.

facts of the great work Of reclaiming
the arid sections of the west and turn
ing them into fertile farms were pre-
sented to members of the National
Press Club last night by Clarence j.

chards talk was illustrated by stere-
opticon and motion pictures. One of

farm.
The pictures showed some of the
enormous reservoirs which are being
built by the service Mr.. Blanchard
showed many views of the great Roose-

FIRE DAMAGES FRUIT STOCK,
Loss of $500 Is Caused by Blaze in
Commission House.

FIRE in the cellar of the commission
house of d. w. Ballinger, 925 Louisiana
avenue, at about o'clock last night,
caused damage of about $500 to a
stock of fruits owned by the Southern
Fruit and Produce Company.
When the last person employed in the
building left the cellar, shortly before
8 o'clock, it is stated. a small gas stove
was burning. The firemen were told
it was not close enough to the wood
work to start fire.
The building was filled with smoke
when the firemen arrived and it was
Impossible for them to enter the cell
lar. Members of No. Is engine COM
pany cut hole in the floor and worked
a cellar nozzle through it. By using
the spray they got the fire under con-
troll in remarkably short time, and
kept the building from being badly
damaged. The stock of fruits in the
cellar was virtually ruined.
Deputy Fire Marshal Seib made an
examination, but owing to the water
was unable to determine the origin of
the fire.
Charles Messina and l.. v Mazza are
owners of the fruit company. Their
loss is covered by Insurance. The
building is owned by Joseph Ferrero.

BRANDE|S DENOUNCES
PR|CE-CUTT|NG EVILS
Bostonian Decries Supreme Court De-
cision Refusing to Uphold
Resale Price.

An alI-day argument in favor of the
Stevens price-fixing bill was made
before the House committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce yesterday
by Louis D. Brandeis of Boston. Mr..
Brandeis gave numerous examples of
the evils of price cutting, which. he
said, ruins the reputation of many re-
sponsible manufacturers
Referring to decision of the Su-
preme Court, which refused to uphold
the fixing of a resale price by fiVe 10
four decision. Mr.. Brandeis said that
such a conclusion is not upheld by
many other important tribunals. Mas
sachusetts has found such contracts
valid, he declared, as have the supreme
courts of New York, Kentucky ana
California. Since the Supreme Court
ruling the courts of the state OF ash-
ington have reached an Opposite con-
clusion Mr. Erandeis said the de-
cision of the Supreme Court is Il blow
to industry. and urged Legislation that
would repair the effect of the blow.
Denounces Leader" System.
Department stores and chain stores
have i very important place i'll the
business of the country, Mr.. Brandeis
believes, and he predicted that they
will continue to serve the public in a
useful manner, but he denounced laws
that permit the use of so-called lead
ers," standard articles of well known
value. made SO by dint of hard work,
intelligence and ability, which, Mr..
Brandeis said. are offered below cost
in order to LEAD Il long line of custom
ers through Il labyrinth OF temptations
from the sales OF which the profits are
derived.
Ths general tendency to consider the
public and the consumer as synony-
nous terms gives rise to popular mis-
conception, Mir. Brandeis declared. The
manufacturer and the grocer, with
their armies of employees, form a part
of the public whose rights have to be
respected There are in addition the
middlemen and others who finance
both manufacturer and dealer and
whose rights must be considered. The
world has outgrown the hagglinE and
bargaining of the days of barter, Mr..
Brandeis contended, and, as the COM
trade. so the fixing of resale prices will
help to remove the uncertainty of mer-
chandzng in this day.
Following Mr.. Brandeis, a number of
persons are to be heard. Representa-
tive Robert J. Bulkley of Ohio is
among them. Others are Miss Laura A.
Cauble. special investigator, bureau of
food supply, department of welfare,
New York: DR.. Lee Galloway, professor
of commerce and industry, New York
University: Mrs. Christine Frederick,
of the Housewives League, and NJ.
Zimmerman, who is well known
trade investigator and efficiency eX-
pert.

from Washington whom he wooed and
did not win over twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago and more Swan
and John Wolf of Washington were

Post Office Department employe. Swan
was the unlucky suitor. After the girl
had married the other man he came
west, but never married.
His love. as he wrote later to the
sweetheart of long ago, had never fall
tered. He never failed to keep track
of her whereabouts. When her hus-
band died, two years ago, his letter of
sympathy in her bereavement was one
of the first she received. This letter
started anew the old acquaintance.
The correspondence continued until
the Manitowoc man felt free to renew
his old protestations Of love and to tell
her that he had never ceased to love
her. Mrs. Wolf came west. The two
were married today.
