LAWSON.HENRY CONFAB
WRONG MOVE-WOOD
Declares Rules Committee and Not the
Chairman Should Probe Leak.

Representative WIN r. Wood. OF In
diana, author Of the resolution TO IN
vestigate alleged leaks In the executive
departments Of government whereby
confidential Information is permitted 70
reach Wall street SPECTATORS, Is frankly
dissatisfied with the suggestion OF Chair
man Henry, OF the House Committee on
Rules, that Thomas W. Lawson come to
Washington for q private conference
with him.
This IL a matter for the House Com
mittee on Rules and not the occasion
for . seance between Mr.. Lawson and
Mr.. Henry" said the Indianan yester-
day.
The invitation is not to come to WASH
ington and appear officially before the
Rules Committee, but for a pow-wow
with the chairman, who apparently Is
perfectly willing to serve as Judge, jury
and executirder."
Chairman Henry yesterday invited
Mr.. Lawson by telegraph to visit Wash
ington for a conference. Following the
publication of the telegram to Mr.. Law
son, Chairman Henry said that he would
at once reintroduce his bill for the gov
ernment supervision and regulation Of
the transactions Of the New York and
other stock exchanges
On this point Representative Wood Is
disposed also to take issue with Mr.
Henry.
This matter" said Mr.. Wood. ''is one
which deals not with the officials OF the
stock exchange, but with the abuse oil
giving away or selling the confidential
news Of the conduct Of our government
in domestic and foreign AFFAIRS 1t IL
to be hoped that when the House comes
to consider this subject 1t will consider
this one point. 1t is to be hoped that
the investigation will be thorough and
that the House, in creating a special
committee to investigate this obliquity,
will indulge that committee with COM
plete powers to search out the purvey-
orS of tips and make examples of them.

Horses Loved BY Soldiers.

The fact that King Ferdinand OF
Bulgaria, commander in chief of the
Balkan forces, has a favorite black
charger which he has named Varna
after the place of that name on the
Black Sea, where his summer place is
situated, reminds one of the affection
which has existed between celebrated
soldiers and the horses which have
accompanied them through their num-
erous campaigns.
One of the most famous war horses
was Lord Roberts gallant charger,
Volonel, which died a few years ago,
and lies buried near the Royal hos
pital, Dublin Volonel was a gray
Arab, which Lord Roberts brought in
India, and he rode the animal to
Kandahar.
Lord Roberts was very much at
tached to the animal, and when
Queen Victoria awarded medals to
the soldiers who had gone through
the Afghan war the hero of Kandahar
proudly hung round his chargers

BUILD SMALL WORK SHOPS.

The large deposits in the banks Of
this city justify US in saying this:
that Ardmore can take care of its own
matters. In all instances where It can
be done, local loans should be OBJ
tanned where the interest payments
would be made here instead of send
ing this sum OF money out of the city.
Two men in making a deal today
INDUCED in "A conversation which il
lustrates the point we want to bring
out. one of the men asked the note
of the other in payment for a piece
of property, The other man insisted
upon payment of cash for the reason
that his money was idle and he did
not want to pay out interest The
usual way of making these deals Is by
the use of credit and It illustrates the
fact that Ardmore is not doing bust
ness in the usual way
The sums of money owned by Ard
more people are seeking investment.
II this city does not find way for
their investment they will go to other
cities and will 20 to build enterprises
in other places. Ardmore is in posi-
tion now TO start a number of small
concerns in the way of factories. Bon
uses should be discouraged, but stock
can be taken with practical men in
different lines of manufacturing and
starts can be made in n small way.
Employment will be given to hundreds
OF men and women in this way and
