 Manufacturers week. is a big suc- cess in every respect. It has served to give thousands an evening of real pleasure and it has demonstrated to MT. Cross and his associates that tn e public appreciates their efforts More over, it has served to introduce to these capable players many who have not had the "Lyceum habit It is certain that the players have now enrolled among their admirers a host of friends who find that the "Lyceum habit once acquired, is pleasant and in every way satisfactory.
 This evening is set apart for North & Judd and Traut and Eine and a capacity audience is sure to be in at tendance when Kendall's Westons of- fering of within the Law" will be presented

The Census Bureau estimates that ROC, 900 babies died in this country last year before the age of one year, and it is stated that one-half of these deaths were needless if all mothers were strong and infants were breast-fed.
 Expectant mothers should strivetoin- crease their strength with the strength building fats in Scott's Emulsion which improves the blood, suppresses ner- vousness, aids the quality of milk, and feeds the very life cells.

 Tt appears to me that if we pass this law now it will encourage their confidence in our good faith. If they can elect house of representatives and they have that power now and they have done it and done it with considerable credit, there is no reason why they should not be trusted with an elective senate.''

ROCKEFELLER DENIES
 CHARGES OF FLYNN
Financier Says He Has Nothing to
 Do With Youngstown Co.

Youngstown, Ohio, Jan. 12--Johl D. Rockefeller, in a telegram receiv- ed here yesterday, denied charges made by Thomas H. Flynn, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor that the Rockefeller inter ests were in any way interested in the proposed merger of several inde- pendent steel interests or were in directly responsible for the rioting in East Youngstown last Friday
 MT. Flynn, in his statement which was issued here last night, charged that the riot was part of scheme to depreSs the value of stock of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company so that control could be obtained and a merger effected with several other companies in which the Colorado Fuel and Iron company was to be in cluded. When the telegram was re ceiVed, Mr. Flynn at once replied that he would, if MT. Rockefeller desired, submit to him the source of his irl- formation.
 RockefeIler's Statement.
 "Telegrams from Youngstown con- tain statement purported to have been issued by you in which you as sert that the recent disturbances in Youngstown were due to financial scheme, rigged up as a last resort to depress the value of the works stock so that interests that are trying to form great half billion dollar mer- ger could get the control they wanted.' Your statement also declares that the proposed merger was to include the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and you added Colorado Fuel and Iron n
 There was thus in your statement scarcely yelled implication that the unfortunate situation in Youngstown Tn some manner grew out of transac tlons in which the interests in my father were involved, desire to as sure you in the most unequivocal manner that neither my father nor I have any interest whatever in the Youngstown Sheet and Tube com pany, or in any merger to which that company may become @ party also knowledge of any negotiations or transactions looking toward a mer- ger of any company with the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany, in fact every implication in your statement as it concerns my father, myself or any company in which we are ln- terested or any transactions or nego- tiations of which we have knowledge is wholly without foundation. I am sure that knowing the above you will be glad to correct in these re- spects the statement made yesterday
