Morgan has been generally credited with placing on the New York Stock Exchange in the panic of | 1907 was really supplied by the Treasury of the United States was! introduced to-day at the hearing be- fore the Pujo committee of the House of Representatives that is investigat- ing the so-called ‘‘money trust.’” Samuel Untermyer, counsel of the committee, obtained from George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury, under the Roosevelt administration, the admission he ‘‘understood’’ the money loaned by the government to the banks at that time was to be used on the Stock Exchange. From the New York Subtreasury the attorney obtained a statement showing that on the day, October 24, on which Mr. Morgan told R. H. Thomas, president of the exchange, to announce the loan of $25,000,000 to exchange brokers, the government had deposited with the banks nearly $29,000,000. From Charles Steele, a partner of J. P. Morgan, he obtained a state- ment showing fourteen banks had “agreed to loan’’ to the Stock Ex- change on that day. The total amount ‘‘agreed to’’ was | $23,550,000, but the amount actually | loaned, according to the statement, was $18,945,000. All these banks, | the sub-treasury statement, showed Binder Twine, Hay Forks, Hay Frame Clamps, Grind Stones Binder Repairs Mower Repairs Screen Wire, Screen Doors, Ice Cream Freezers, Harvest Kegs Haying Tools of all kinds Loose-Wiles crackers (salt or plain) by box, 6c tb Qt. bottle Pickles, sweet mixed only............20c Qt. bottle Pickles, sour spiced.....

Thousands of new pianos are sold every year, the greater number to those who already have musical ‘in- struments. The salesman allows a liberal price for the old piano in trade, accepts a little cash, and takes the balance in monthly payments. while he has sold one piano he has | just as many on his hands as_ before, ‘for he has accepted an old one. What becomes of it? He does not care to sell it to some one who has never had a piano if he can avoid it, for if the process of trading continued he would soon be following himself around ina circle and there are no dividends in that. He must find a market for the old musical instru- ment. To do this he repairs and re- varnishes the old piano, boxes it, and, with hundreds of others, it is shipped to South America, Africa, Asia and other benighted portions of the world where it is sold to the natives, who yearn for music and whose ambition is to drum out tunes on an instrument of their own. These pianos are sold for a small amount down and the balance in monthly, sometimes weekly, pay- ments extended over a long period of tie. In this way the dealer gets. back Now} ‘opening of the Republican National Cortelyou the names of the banks in | | which he deposited funds, which the witness testified amounted to about $42,000,000 during the panic. Roosevelt Victim of the Moon! Fly. Washington, June 17.—James Ed- wards, for 32 years Democratic door- keeper at the United States Senate, said to-day that Col. Roosevelt is suffering from the effects of the bite of an African moon fly. The African moon fly, Edwards de- clares, either kills or drives mad the person it bites. The Colonel iwas warned against it when he !went to Africa, but defied it. Edwards thinks that the third-termer was bitten but ididn’t know it. Now, he says, at every change of the moon the Colo- nel goes mad. Edwards has kept tab on the Colonel, and every change of the moon he does some unusual stunt. The moon changed yesterday, just about the time Roosevelt started for Chicago. | “It's moon fly time Roosevelt,’’ said Edwards. Mr. with |Peace (?)
