PICKETT STIRS HOPKINS
INCIDENT GROWS OUT OF SOL
DIERS' HOME INVESTIGATION.
Chairman of House Committee Re-
sents IntimatiOn That tho Whole
Matter Was q Farce.


ATLANTA.-Judge H. w. Hop
kins, representa- from Thomas
county and a member of the special
investigation committee appointed
under the resolution to probe the
charges made by Hugh Colquitt and
other veterans at the soldiers home,
sprung a sensation in the house Sat-
urday when he vigorously attacked
the action in the senate yesterday
and especially paid his respects to
one of the senators quoted.
Judge Hopkins, speaking under
personal privilege, attacked the re-
marks quoted as coming from Sena-
tor Dewitt Pickett. The judge said
the senate appeared not to be salts
fed with what the house committee
is doing and appears to be trying to
interfere. The house committee, he
said, had not yet finished its work,
and has been busy on the inVestiga-
ton.
Ignored House Committee.
yesterday, on the floor of the SEN
ate this committee was arraigned by
a senator, said Judge Hopkins, in
such manner that demands from
me, at least, a response in no uncer
tain terms The senate, it appears,
has appointed another committee,
one of its own to do the very work
the house committee is doing, and
has ignored the house committee. In
the course of the debate one of the
senators is quoted in print as having
made this statement, which | read
8" The resolution providing for a
senate probe of conditions at the sol
diers' home carried after speeches
had been made by several senators.
Senator Dewitt Pickett, of the
Eleventh, said the house had ignored
the senate in the recent probe; that
it had been charged that the mem
bers of the house probe committee,
one from each congressional district,
were directly under the influence of
the soldiers home trustees, one from
each district.
" 1T appears to me that there's
niger in the woodpile that there are
certain people who don't want this
investigation made said Senator
Pickett.
ImputatiOn on Honor of Committee.
81 consider that an imputation or
the honor and integrity of the men,
bers of the committee of which l am
a member. Reading between the
lines it means that this committee is
a frame-up to exonerate the trustees
of this institution and that this COM
mittee is dominated by those trustees.
Now speaking for myself, and to pre-
serve my self-respect, I want to say
that the author or authors of these
charges are guilty of wi1ful misrep-
resentatiOn and malicious falsehood,
and the man or men who circulates
them within or upon the floor of the
senate or elsewhere, without disclos-
ing their source of informatin, I de-
nOuuce as equally guilty"

Half of People Fighting.
More than half the population of
the world lives in the countries at
war. The population of the warning
countries is estimated roughly at
S47, 900 and of the countries at
peace 797, 100000. The population
of the entente nations is perhaps five
times as great as their opponents.
The number of men under arms has
been estimated variously, usually in
the neighborhOod of 2O,OOO,OOO. Will
liam Michaelis, writing recently in a
Berlin magazine, put the number of
soldiers at war at 21,770,0OO; for
the allies 1890, 700; for Germany,
Austria-Hungary and Turkey, $780,
900.
No previous war has approached
the present one in wholesale destruc-
ton of life. This is due not only to
the number of men involved but to
the terrible efficiency of modern
weapons. Russian losses in the Car
pathians alone were estimated unoffi-
cially at 100000. Along the battle
fields from Arras, in northwestern
France. to the Belgian coast whole
fields have been covered with corpses,
and at the time of the German at
tempt to reach the English channel
the User canal was choked with the
dead. According to official British
statistics the British army alone has
been losing of late in killed, wound
ed and missing 1000 day. On June
8 Premier Asquith announced that
British casualties since the beginning
of the war Excluding naval losses OF
13,549 up to May 30 amounted to
25S.069. of which the total OF killed
was 5O,342.
Terrible Losses.
The losses of Germany, France and
Russia. by reason of their larger arm
les have been far greater. The Heer
Und Politick of Berlin early in June
estimated that more than 100000
soldiers of the countries at war with
Germany and her allies have been
killed. wounded or captured. Hail
aire Belloc, the English military
writer. said Germany's potential man
hood for actual fighting probably
had diminished from all causes by
nearly one-half in the first year of
the war, and asserted a conservative
estimate was that Germany had much
nearer 100000 than 100000 men
permanently out of the field Esti-
mates of the total casualties run from
5000, 900 to 100000 with the for
mer figure probably conservative.
The cost in money runs to SINH
larlv huge total. Great Britain is now
spending about SIS, 100000 day
on the war, according to Premier AS
quith. Albert Metin, general budget
reporter of the French chamber of
deputies, calculates the war is cost
ing France $4,000 a minute, or
$14,OOO,O00 a day. William Mi
chaelis recently estimated the daily
cost to Germany at $8,250,OOO, say
ing forty days of this war cost as
much as the whole Franco-Prussian
war of 1901. In March DR.. Karl
Helfferich, secretary of the imperial
treasury of Germany, said the war
was costing all belligerents $375-
100000 a week.
On the basis of DR.. Helfferich's es-
innate the first year of the war cost
the stupendous sum of $11, 100000
900, not including Italy's expendi-
lures. sum more than so per cent
greater than the gold production Of
the world during the last 500 years,
Other estimates run still higher, to
$2O,O0O,000 or more.

the Bannock county line was complet-
ed Tuesday.
South from American Falls the
highway will practically follow the
old Oregon Trail through Medley and
on to the Cassia county line. A new
crossing will be made at Ferry hollow,
and the county highway will connect
with the state highway short dis
lance south of the crossing. This
connection will do away with the long
grade and curve at that point and will
result in quite a saving in the con-
struction of the county highway as
well.
The forms have been taken off the
concrete flume at Spring hollow and
work in the north end of the fill will
soon begin. Engineer Porter believes
the new road along the telephone line
will be completed and opened for traf-
fic by the first of June. Clay under
lies the sand all the way. Clay pits
will be opened along the road at con-
Yenient places in order to save hauling
long distances. At the fill good clay
is found at both sides of Spring hol-
low and so no long hauls will have to
be made.-American Falls Press.

money on two acres of it than five

plan to use the vacant property for

returns from the lots that are dead

THE USE OF SOAP

Soap should be used very SPAR
ingly, if at all, If you want to keep
your hair looking best Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp.
makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
~. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t In. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
| which rinses out easily, removing
every particle Of dust, idirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous.s fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. and a few
ounces will supply every member Of
the family for months.
