Looked Upon as Leader.

The New York member was especially
valuable to the ways and means COM
mittee. and was looked upon as a
leader in the New York city delcga-
tion in the House
As it was krown. he was one of the
closest friends to Charles F. Murphy
the head of the Tammany organi1a ton
Representative Conry's political advice
was considered valuable. His work in
Congress was of the quiet kind, as he
rarely made a speech. However, he ex-
ercised great influence, and his death
will make a great gap in the power of
the democratic organization in the
House.
He had been reelected to the next
House which would have made his
fifth consecutive term. He was forty
seven years old. born in Shenandoah,
Pa. in 1870. His first work was in a
coal mine: later he became a teacher
and then attended the University of
Michigan. graduating in 1896 with a de-
gree of bachelor of laws. His practice
in New York city brought him into
prominence. and he became assistant
counsel of that city. a post
he held for two years. He was elected
to the House first for the. Sixty-first
Congress. and for the succeeding con-
crosses with large majorities. A wife
and three children survive him.

Representative Michael F. Conry of
New York city died at Providence Hos
pital yesterday afternoon after an ILL
ness of a week Funeral services will

Conry had been aware of an approach

and kidney trouble.
His death was announced to the
House late yesterday afternoon by
Representative Fitzgerald of New York
city. AS the announcement came at a.
time when the public business Of Con-
sress was in congested condition, all
the House could do in respect to the
late members memory was to recess

brief speeches, in addition to Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald's remarks, telling
of their admiration for Representative
Conrys many fine qualities.

MADE FROM LEMON GRASS
Valuable Oil That Contains an Extra
ordinarily Large Amount Of Citrsl
Comes From India.

There is valuable oil made from
lemon grass. Its chief commercial cen
ter is Trivundrum. in Truyuncure, a
state in southern India. ObScurity pre-
walls as to the botanical sources Of
eastern Indian lemon grass oils, but
they are generally stated to be derived
from CymbOpOgOn citratus and Gym
bopogOn fiexuosus The former is ma
tive Of Bengal and is largely cultivated
all over India, but the oil distilled in
the Mnlabar coast is derived principal
ly from CymbOpOgOn tieNuosus. This
plant grows plentifully in Truvancore,
especially on the slopes of the noun.
tains to the north Of Anjeng0. The
hillsides are said to be fired in January
to burn down the old and useless grass
SIX months later the fresh crop is
ready to be cut By that time the
countryside is dotted all over with fur
naces and stills. During July, August,
September and October operations are
continually maintained, but there
would appear to be no second crop. In
few cases Europeans have estab-
lished distilleries On an improved plan.
The Moplns (native gatherers) are
said to recognize p forms of the wild
plant, OF which five only are of com
merciul value and one is cultivated
and never flowers. The most interest
ing feature Of the lemon grass oil is
the large percentage Of citral that 1t
contains. This has been yariously
stated at 10 to so per cent, and infe-
rior or ndulterated samples 40 to 80
per cent. II is employed in the manu-
facture of artificial perfumes, such as
the violet, known as ionone, and like
all the grass oils is utilized mainly In
pertaining soaps. An Important use to
which it is applied in the United States
is in the preparation Of furniture pol
ish. The production Of lemon grass
oil In South India on commercial
scale is an industry of comparatively
recent growth.

STATE PROVES VAWTER
HAD WIFE MEET HETH

International News Service:
CHRISTIANSBURG, May g.
When the fifth day of the trial of
Prof Charles +. Nawter for the
murder of Stockton Heth, jr., be-
gan today, the one outstanding fact
was that both the prosecution and
the defense feel the most vital thing
TO be definitely esta blished is the
condition Of the professors mind at
the time he wrote TO Heth virtually
offering 70 exchange his wife's hon
or for the payment Of a S62.50
liquor bill.
This developed after the prosecu-
ton had introduced a witness to
prove that instead Of trying to keep
Heth and Mrs Vawter apart. Prof
Vawter as late as January, went out
Of his way TO arrange meeting
between them.
The defense is seeking. through
the introduction Of expert testimony
10 prove that no sane man would
write the letter referred TO and the
prosecution. by long drawn out
cross examination. is endeavoring to
break down the testimony Of the ex-
perts.

DECK SCENE. AH1IPA1 AueE

International News Service:
LONDON, May 5.-The power of
the German kaiser is to be curbed.
A dispatch from Amsterdam today
said that the constitutional COM
mittee of the reichstag has decided
TO alter article XVII. of the German
constitution relating TO ordinances
and DEGREES.
In the future the kaisers de-
crees will be issued in the name of
the empire and will require the
counter signature of the chancellor
or his representative.
The chancellor hereby acquires
responsibility to the reichstag for
his official acts. Hitherto he was
responsible to the kaiser only
The constitutional revision was
brought about by the prOgressives,
national liberals and centrists. Some
of the conservatives voted against
it. Not only is the power of the
kaiser restricted but a check is also
put upon the authority of the chan
ceIlor. For some time there has
been agitation in favor of limiting
the great power of the chancellor.

Indiana Cities
VIII Feel Probe
of Coal Shortage

News-Times Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Ny 5.-A
dozen Indiana cities are to feel at
once the probe Of Indianas new
public service commission. intent on
solving, if possible the coal short
age and high price conditions in In
diana. If power exists. under pres
ent laws in the state. the big utility
companies of the state. the indivi-
dual consumers, the factories and
business generally will be freed
from the coal octopus.
And even then there will be a de-
termined effort made TO have the
coming special session Of the Indi-
ana legislature enact some sort of
law that will give the commission
power at least to compel coal opera
tors and the railroads TO furnish
.service-to bring the supply that is
known to exist, TO the consumers or
operate their properties under a re
ownership, which will mean the
coming together Of demand and
supply.

the commission has power to go in
to any court in Indiana and ask that
a receiver be appointed for any rail-
road that is discovered making spe-
cial contracts for it's own coal with
the mine owners, or refusing or fail
ing TO furnish adequate cars for the
coal trade, because higher freight
rates exist on some other commodi-
ties.
There already is a definite impress
sion existing in the minds OF some
members of the new Indiana com
mission that coal operators and coal
dealers are particularly responsible
for the present prices of coal in In
dianapolis and other large cities in
Indiana. These dealers, il is be
lieved, have stored large quantities
of coal TO force up the prices. At
the same time these same dealers
are charging that the public's rush
to store coal against war prices is
responsible for the shortage. Not
more than % percent of the de-
mand is being supplied generally
throughout Indiana now, although
Indiana has millions or tons or coal
in some IA counties that is acces-
sible 10 coal-carrying railroads
and miners are ready and willing TO
mine il. The shortage exists in In
diana coal, as well as TO foreign
fuel, such as the West Virginia
types.
The commission has called a spe-
cial meeting of coal dealers and op-
orators for Indianapolis next We'd
nesday morning at 10 o'clock 10 be
gin it's investigation Of the situation.
Immediately thereafter hearings are
to be held by the body in probably
a dozen Of the larger cities of the
state, such as South Bend, New AL
bany. Evansville, Terre Haute, Fort
Wayne, Richmond. Brazil and Lin
ton.
