(Spectal to the Herald.) ‘Washington, July 14.—In May of this year contracts were let to for- eign manufacturers for buttons worn on the clothing and qrnaments on the collars and caps of American sol- diers under the war department. Learning of this fact Congressman Kennedy at once commenced an in-. vestigation as to why.contracts were awarded to foreign manufacturers over American manufacturers, and objected strenuously to the award of any contracts to foreign manufactur- ers. He called at the British em- bassy in Washington to ascertain 1f American manufacturers were award- ed contracts in England over English manufacturers, and the statement was made that they were unable to answer his question, but promised to submit the question to the home gov- ernment and write him later. He then appealed to the state depart- ment, and that department communi- cated with the British embassy, tele- grams and cables were exchanged, gnd on June 9, Mr. Kennedy was in- formed by the state department as to the true situation in relation to for- eign manufacturers and American manufacturers. With the facts in his possession Mr. Kennedy waited for the next bids to be opened by the war department. Sustain Congressman Kennedy. <. On June 26, when the bids were opened for buttons for use on the uniforms of the soldiers of the army he immediatély went to the war de- partment and protested against any | award being made to a foreign , man- ufacturer and presented the facts in his possession in relation to American manufacturers’ unsuceessful. attempt to secure contracts from foreign pow- ers where bids were given for the manufacture of goods to be used in connection with the army or navy of such foreign: powers. - After investi- gating the protest filed by Mr. Ken- nedy and examining the letters in his possession, the war departhent offi- cials sustained him in his objection | and' the contract for buttons will be awarded to American manufacturers, on the same grounds that American manufacturers are excluded from re- celving contracts from foreign coun- tries. 7 o The following manufaétdring con- cerns have received tne ‘bénefit of Mr. Kennedy's work.

Besides being one of the coolest spots in town, the vaudeville is extra fine. id The bicycle' act of Harry Fisher Ward and Company, has in the;short time it has been here, made the hit of the season. The feature of the act was one of the team jumping up a flight of stairs to an elevation of thirty feet, and then clearing the en- tire distance to the.floor without get- tig oft the bicycle. - This act is be- yond doubt the best fancy riding bi- cycle act that has ever been in New Britain, and Keeney patrons will do well to see the offerings of this com- pany. i Another contender for honors thi: ,week is the offering of the Four Fa- mous Richards, an acrobatic act di- rect from Berlin. The men in this troupe do some spectacular head bal- ancing, and they were forced to re- spond to three or four encores before the first nighters were satisfied. 'The female member of the team also adds to the popularity of the act by her clever stunt of lifting two men weighing 375 pounds off the stage. " Wallace Mackey, known the world over as the human violin, gives vocal selections resembling the music of a violin, ’‘cello, mandolin _and flute. Many “novel tricks - are = introduced in this act, one of which is an imi- tation of an old negro answering all questions by the use of his violin. Mr. Mackey has a double voice, which gives Him the opportunity to present an original version of a grand opera, and besides taking three or four sing- ing parts he is his own orchestra. The three gnderson girls present a snappy act which was well received by all present. This trio has been to New Britain before and need no further introduction: ' Merrill and Kay have a comedy character act that never fails to take.

MELLEN CLAIMS IT 1S ALL POLITICS Former New Haven Hzad Comments on Report to Senate. Stockbridge, Mass., July 14.— “The report of a political tribunal made for political purposes,” was the characterization made last night by Charles S. Mellen, former president of the New Haven road, of the inter- state commerce commission’s report on its investigation of the road. o In a telephone interview, Mr. Mel- len declared that neither he nor any member of the board of directors of the road, during the period covered by the report, ‘“was ever guilty of conscious negligence in any matter ;fltecting the New Haven or the pub- ic. Only Two Exceptions, “Every act of the New Haven of any importance while I was incon- trol,” he said, *“was done with my complete knowledge and sanction, with two exceptions. I am prepared to defend every one of those acts be- fore any tribunal in the country, in- cluding the great tribunal of public opinion.” The refusal of the directors to sell the road’s steamship holdings and the Westchester deal were the two ex- ceptions to which Mr. Mellen re- ferred. Authorized By Legiskature. “If the purchase of Boston & Maine stock by the Boston Holding com- pany,” he continued, “is to be the basis of prosecution under the Sher- man anti-trust law, or any other law, the commonwealth of Massachusetts should be joined as co-défendant and co-conspirator against the law of the United States and the welfare of the people of New England; for, as is well known, this purchase was:. ex- pressly authorized by the Massachu- setts legislature, i “I wish the federal prosecuting au- thorities would name the common- wealth as a joint defendant. I would gladly testify to the implication of some of these men who are quite prominent in Boston financial cir- cles, Lauds Late Financier. “YI am,getting out of this only the uncertain glory of having been a twin commander with the late J.

WHITE AUTOMOBILE FOR POLICE PATROL Safety Board: Votes to Make Pur- chase, Subject to Council’s Approval. Being of the opinion that the | White motor car is the best machine which’ the “city can buy for an auto patrol-ambulance the safety com- missioners, at. last night's meeting, voted to purchase such a car at. a price not to exceed $3,300. The selection was made by’ the process of elimination. Commissioner Alling first moved to eliminate the Knox and Pope-Hartford machines because of'their high cost. Mr. Heal- ey amended his motion to eliminate all cars except the White, Stewart and Lozier. After some little discus- sion it was voted to select the White car. The Lozier car costs $2,800 ana the Stewart car costs $2,525. This machine which the commis- sioners have purchased for the police department will come through the agency of S. A. Foster, of Hartford, and the finished machine will be de- livered within eight or ten weeks af- ter the deal is completed, The agent will meet with the board on Friday to close the contract should the coun- cil sanction the choice. An instructor to teach Driver O'Keefe how to operate the car will be sent by the company and the ma- chine\will be fitted with five tires and will be complete throughout. This car is bullt on a truck chassis. Another matter taken up by the board aws the repairing of the eaves on Engine House No. 4 80 as to satis. fy Mrs, Paul Leist. It was voted to get figures on remodelling this roof. Heat Is Quick to - . AJfect the Rowels! Well-Known Fact That Extreme Heat Conduces to Chronic Con- stipation. So many people are in the habit of eating cold food in hot weather that constipation is very common during summer. It is best to vary the food and have some hot things, as, for ex- ample, soups and hot fish and meats, if that is to be the diet. Iced water should be drunk sparingly. In spite of all care people will be- come constipated, and if you find yourself in that condition you can get imimediate relief by the use of Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin. There is no time of the year when you should be more careful of constipation than in the summer, for many of the ser- fous illnesses as well as the fatalities result from a clogging . up of the bowels. You also need general good health to withstand the heat, and hence Syrup Pepsin is best to take because it contains tonic ingredients that help to build up the entire sys- tem. Numerous users throughout the land will verify these. facts, among them Mr. George C. Allen, 408 N. Main St, Reading, Mass., who re- covered his health completely after using only two bottles; and Miss Anna Schoff, 249 S. Washington St., Baltimore, Md., who_uses it for con- stipation and now has her mother and friends also using it. They now avoid drastic remedies like cathartics, tablets, purgatives, salt waters, pills and such things. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is mild and pleasant, and children like it. You can obtain it of any druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a large bottle. Each bot- tle must do what is claimed or your money will be refunded. Familles wishing to try a free sam- ple bottle can obtain it, postpaid, by addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 418 Washington St..

Washington, July 14.—While the senate judiciary and interstate com- merce committees continued their labors today to perfect the adminis- tration’s anti-trust program, efforts were being made for joint sessions of the two committees with a view to consolidating all pending trust legis- lation. Sentiment in favor of the proposal was said today to be grow- ing in favor despite the fact that an effort made by the interstate com- merce commission to have the ju- diclary committee co-operate with It had proven unsuccessful. ‘When the judiciary committee took up its work of perfecting the Clay- ton anti-trust bill today, it was planned to rewrite the section relat- ing to punishment of individuals with a view to making it more binding. The interstate commerce committee also is expected to finish its work on the railway securities bill today. STRIKE IS THREATENED, Ultimatum of Western Raliroad Men to Be Presented to Companies Today.
