PARDEE SCORES - THE DIRECTORS Executive Sharply Criticises | the Management of the | State Agrienltural Society SACRAMENTO, Jan. 13.— Governor Pardee has written a circular letter to the directors of the State Agricultural Society, in which he tells them bluntly that the State Fair must be brougnt up to a higher gtandard if any further help is expected from the State Treas- ury. He says that the State Falr is financizlly flat on its back. that the funds are exhausted and that the in- debtedness incurred in fitting up Agri- cultural Park near Sacramento greatly exceeded the estimate agreed on be- tween the Governor and the board, and generally indicates his dissatisfaction with the way in which the State Falr has been run. There are several vacancies to occur in the board within the next few weeks and the Governor will be able to re- organize the board to suit himself. e SALVATION ABMY LASSIE _ ELOPES WITH A BUGLER Chief Delaney of Seattle Receives In- formation That the Couple Are | in San Francisco. SEATTLE, Jan. 13.—To the glad shouting of hallelujah and the sound- ing of cymbals the fire of love was kin- dled and grew into fierce flames in the hearts of Edna Powell, aged 23, a mem- ber of the Spokane Salvation Army corps, and Bugler Restall, aged 40, and bald, of the same corps. Throwing aside their religions scruples and braving the condemnation of relatives and friends, the two fied from Spokane on December 1. The girl’s parents a week ago yes- terday asked the Seattle police to look for her and to-day Chief Delaney sent them a telegram saying he had official information that the people had been seen within three days at Salvation Army meetings in San Francisco. Restall is a native of Canada, where it is reported he has a wife NILLARD GETS CANAL PLINS Becommepdations Regard- ing Types Sent by President to Senate Committeeman —_——— WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—Chairman Millard of the Senate Committee on Inter- oceanic Canals to-day recelved from President Roosevelt the advance copy of the recommendations of the consulting board of engineers relating to the type of canal most feasible, which report had been promised for use in examining Chief Engineer Stevens when he appears be- fore' the canal committee on Tuesday next. At the request of the President, the memhers of the committee will not disclose the contents of the report. It is said to have developed that a majority of the committee is opposed to confirming the nomination of Joseph B. Bishop to be & member of the Isthmian Canal Commission. The committee, it is sald, has no objection, personally, to Mr. Bishop, and believes that while theoretically he may be qualified to serve on the commission, he is unfitted for the position for the reason that his lite's profession has been of a character that would not give him the requisite experi- ence. No serious objection to the confirmation of Theodore P. Shonts as chairman of the commission has ‘begn manifested, but it is said that the members of the com- mittees are agreed that the chairman of the commission should not be engaged in any other occupation than that of man- aging the canal affairs. The fact that Mr. Shonts has no. resigned the presi- dency of the Clover Leaf Railroad has been considered, but information has reached t.e committee that Mr. Shonts is not now accepting a salary from the road, and the duties he is performing for it are In the direction of terminating his | connection with and surrendering of the property.

Rogers shall be compelled to answer the questions asked by Attor- ney General Hadley of Missourl was adjourned to-day until Monday morn- ing, after counsel had presented some of their arguments. Justice Gilder- sleeve did not give any decision as to whether Rogers must answer. William V. Rowe filed the formal answer of Rogers, in which he asserted that the questions were immaterial, that the question of their admissi- bility was pending in the Missourl courts, that there was no legal author- ity for the hearing which Hadley has been holding in this city, and that the questions were not for the purpose of public policy, but to gain notoriety for Hadley. It included also the complaint that photographers and artists were glven a free hand at the hearing. Frank Hagerman of Kansas City, rep- resenting the three respondent oil com- panies, said the attempt to discover the stock ownership of the respondent companies was immaterial. Attorney | General Hadley brought the proceed- ings, he said, under a statute, the legal- ity of which the respondents chal- lenged. The secretary of the Republic Oil Company was requested to bring the stock into the Missouri court and the question was referred to the Missouri Supreme Court for determination. The master before whom the case was tried in Missouri, Hagerman said, suspended all proceedings there until the question where the stock ownership and control of the companies must be disclosed could be determined. Attorney Gen- eral Hadley then, according to Hager- man, came to New York, and, under the New York statute, took testimony and asked questions along the.same line pending in the decision in Missouri. Hagerman declared that the stock ownership is not material and cited a decision in Missouri in the tobacco | trust Htigation, COUNSEL IS FACETIOUS. "Your Honor may have noticed,” he said, “that ouwt_.in that country they are rather busy.3 with whut are known @s trusts.” Hagerman sald he contended that of forty-five questions asked Rogers, twenty-five had nothing whatever to do with the business/affairs of the two alleged offending corporations. Attorney General Hadley, Hagerman declared, ignored the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri by asking these questions, and the witness had a right to refuse to answer them, pending the decision of that court. William J. Curtis of counsel for the def@hdants said that the atmosphere of the examination conducted by Had- ley was not dignified. Curtis desired to enter his professional protest against what he termed the sensation- allsm with which the case had been conducted. As Attorney General Hadley was about to begin his address Justice Gil- dersleeve asked him to state the issue in the case clearly, and added that the question of stock ownership did not DR.

N speaking of his good health ana Oxtrame old age, Mr. Brock says: fter a man has lived in the world u long as I have, he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. I think I have done so. ““Qne of ‘the things | have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper thing for aiments that are due directly to the effects of the chimate. For 117 years | have with- stood the changeable climate of the United States. “T have always been a very healthy man, but, of course, subject to the af- fections which ar e to sudden changes in the climate and tempera- ture. During my long life I have known & great many remedies for coughs, colds and diarrhoea. “As for Dr. Hartman’s remedy, Peruna, | have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable rem- edy for these affections.

I have come to rely upon it almost en- tirely for the many lttle things for which I need medicine. “When epidemics of la grippe frst began to make their appearance in thig country I was a sufferer from this dis- ease. “I had several long sieges with the grip. At first | did not know that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When | heard that /a grippe was epidemic catarrh, | tried Peruna for. ia grippe and found it to be just the thing.” In a later letter, Mr..Brock writes: “I am well and feeling as well as [ The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If I could see better I could walk all over the farm, and it would do me good. I would net be without Peruna.” Yours truly, o W, When old age comes, it brings with it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so in- dispensable to many old people. Mr. S. D. Foss, 118 S.

I have been a sufferer of catarrh of the stomach for over two years, but since I have commenced to take your remedy I have been steadily improving until now I can safely say I feel no more of my old trouble.

T ——————————————— e ——— seem very material in proving whether the two companies had operated In Missour! in restraint of trade. “Do you claim the stock in these companies is owned by another com- pany or an individual?” asked Justice Gildersleeve. “Both,” replied Hadley, “and I assume your Honor bases his question upon the absolute reliability of the statement ot facts as related by the other side.” Hadley went on to say that the special master in Missouri clearly ruled that such questions as those asked Rogers were material. Hadley deucrlhed his actions in this case in Missouri, and said that the issue was whether the respondents had entered into a conspiracy for their own benefit and to the detriment of all others in that business. The question of materfality was not taken before the court of Mis- sourl. It was not raised. he said. HADLEY SCORES ROGERS. The Attorney General told the court that the objections to his right to come to New York while the Supreme Court question was pending were not well found- ed. He came under the sanction and ap- proval of the highest tribunal of his State. “I don’t believe that these gentlemen of counsel here can have questioned the mo- tives of the highest judicial officer of the State when they have never dared to question them at home,” declared Had- ley. “If there have been sensational re- ports of these proceedings they have been due to the witness, Rogers—to his flip- pancy, to his frivolity and the attempt he made to show contempt for the highest court of url. He complains of a flashlight picture having been taken, and yet it is a significant fact that the only man in the room not astonished was Mr. Rogers.” Rogers, he sald, acted in & way to In- flame the prejudices and passions of the common people. “T am not to blame,” sald Hadley, “If he saw fit to sow to the wind and reaped a whirlwind of disaster.” This statement ended Hadley's speech, and the crowd of spectators, fllling every seat and most of the standing space, ap- plauded until Justice Gildersleeve rapped loudly for order. The Justice sald there was doubt as to whether the question of materiality was before the Supreme Court of Missouri and that the Issue before him depended on the settling of this debate. Curtig thereupon asked permission to flle on Monday a copy of the record of the proceedings before the Missourl court to substantiate the claim of the defense that this question was before the Missouri court. Rogers' counsel asked that in the fur- ther examination of witnesses before Commissioner Sanborn no questions 1d be asked bearing upon the point in doubt until after its settlement, and ttorney General Hadley agreed to this. e hearing was then adjourned untfl Monday.

He sald McKee afterward became an officer of the Republic Oil Company. At this juncture It was announced that H. H. Rogers wished to come in and answer certain questions which he had previously refused to answer. He had been asked, he said, whether he had, in 1904, any business transactions with H. Clay Plerce, whereby he had secured for himself or the Standard Oil Company the stock of the Waters- Plerce Company. “I refused, on the advice of counsel solely,” sald Rogers, “ formed that this refusal may injure Pierce. I wish to state that neither in 1904 nor at any other time did I have such a transaction with Pierce.” Rogers was ordered to return at the next meeting. Francis D.
