Professor Die Metchnikoff, the eminent Russian scientist, after a life of research and scientific study, says that we can successfully combat old age.1' The fact that a person can live to be over 100 years old in the en- invmptit rf Rhwierth and health has been Droven bv manv of our physicians and scientists and 4,000 hale and hearty olrj. men and women, all of whom, either in their practice as doc tors or by actual use, have become familiar with the life-pro-' longing, health-giving powers of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.1 VIGOROUS AT 108 YEARS OF AGE.'

My family and friends are all gone, but I am cheerful and hope to live some time yet. I was born in what is now Unity Corners. N. H.. in 1797. " 1 have been pretty well all my life, but when I begun to grow weak my doctor told me it was old age and gave me Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. I am taking that medicine now and it is both medicine and nourishment to me. I cannot eat a hearty meal the way I used to. but Duffy's keeps ma up and going. I would not be alive without it" 105, FEELS LIKE A GIRL. Hasn't a Pais, Beaa ths Hardest lias of Beatewark. "Gentlemen: I am 105 years old. I am well, without a pain or ache. I sleep at well as I did when I was a girl. I use your whiskey and like it very much. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the only medicine I use.

ESCAPE WITH THE BOOTY that none of their citizens are allowed to leave under such circumstances. Department officials think treaties could be, negotiated in a short time. Mr. Fulton has no objection to treaties Instead of a bill in Congress, and will work for whichever plan meets with most favor. He Is after results. When at the White House today Mr. Fulton told the President he did not believe Consul-General H. B. Miller had made the statements attributed to him in the alleged Ban Francisco interview. Before he left Oregon the Senator talked .with Mr. Miller at length on the Japanese situation, and Mr. Miller's sentiments then expressed were the direct .opposite of what is charged a-rainst him by the press dispatches. However, to satisfy the department, Mr. Miller has been called on to ex plain and. If he declares the interview was false, that will end the matter. Robbery Occurs Between Stations and Is Not Discovered Until Next Stop Officers Hurry to the Scene on "Specials." . RBDWATEH, Tex., Dec. 1. The express tar attached to train No. 4 of the Cotton ! Belt Route, which left this city at. 6 o'clock tonight, was robbed tonight and Express Messenger W. A. Grissip hurled from the moving train after having been beaten and badly wounded by the robbers. The robbery, it is believed, occurred about a mile from this place, but was not discovered until the train reached Eylau., thp next stop. The express messenger' was found by the .track badly hurt and showed indications of a desperate fight. The robbers escaped. That the robbery was successful is evi dent so far as a hasty inspection of the car and Its contents would indicate, but the amount stolen Is not known. Superintendent F. M. Edgel has started for the scene and a special train of offi cers has been dispatched from Texarkana. A special train has also been sent from Kedwater. At Redwater the messenger had attend ed to his duties as usual and the train proceeded. There is no stop on the sched ule between that point and Eylau. At Eylau Conductor Blair, who was In charge of the train, saw that the door of the express car had been forced and on entering found it splattered with blood, the messenger missing and the car bear ing every appearance of having been looted. . The trainmen were sent back yn handcars, and Grissip was found. White be is badly hurt It is not believed that his Injuries will prove fatal. ACUTE DANGER 0F: WAR (Continued from First Page.) migration companies or societies. Such legislation would affect all countries alike, and could not be construed as an affront to Japan. 'If a law of this character were passed, Japanese im migration would dwindle to an infinite, iy small figure, and the influx of Japa nese would not be particularly objec tionable, even on the Pacific Coast. At the same time many undesirable immi grants would be ejccluded. for emigra tion companies and societies usually export the worst class of citizens, their solo aim being to collect the head tax. The State Department approves Mr. .Fulton's Idea, but believes better re sults could be obtained through treat ies with the various countries, includ ing Japan. The department believes that under treaty agreements it would be easy to break up the work of im- migration companies, as some coun tries would then be obliged to see PUTS TRUST XS ROOSEVELT Japan No Longer Agitated About' California Schools. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. "Japan has every confidence that President Roosevelt will adjust the Japanese California school controversy entirely to the satisfaction of both nations. Feeling this confidence, Japan has ceased to be agitated over the situation. The Japanese newspapers are emphatically moderate in all their notices of the affair and. so far as the Japanese Nation Is concerned, there is absolutely no reason for the revival of the newspaper notoriety In this country." The Associated Press was today auth orized to quote the Japanese Embassy as above. It was further said that there were no new developments in the situa tion of any character; that the matter was in the hands of President Roosevelt and his willingness and ability to act was entirely relied upon. NO CONCESSIONS TO JAPAN Separate School Question Arouses Coast and Southern Senators. CHICAGO. Deo. 1. A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: If President Roosevelt and Secretary Root persist In the position they seem inclined to take regarding the right of the Federal Government to make treaties whiclv will bind states and municipalities in the conduct of their local affairs, half a dozen able-bodied hornet's nests in the Senate will break loose early in the session. Senator Flint and Benjamin Ide Wheel er, of California, both called at the White House yesterday to see the President and to advise him from different points of, view that any Interference by the Fed eral Government or any assumption of a right to Interfere with the school system of San Francisco or any other city would provoke a riot. Senator Flint declared that the Federal Government would make a great mistake, because there was a disposition In San Francisco to pass a local ordinance limit ing the age at which pupils will be re ceived in the public schools. This would .do away with most of the complaint, be cause a great majority of the Japanese students are adults, with whom white parents are not willing to have their young children associate. Secretary Metcalf has come back from the Coast, intimating that any attempt by the United States Government by treatv or otherwise to regulate the schools of any city on the Pacific CoaBt would be resented Instantly, and could be en forced only by the use pf troops. To complicate matters. Southern Sena tors are-arriving in Washington in a per fect flame of excitement, because they have been led to believe that the Jap anese agitation In San Francisco is mere ly a decoy for an attempt to break down the whole system of separate schools for negroes in the Southern States. So far as the Intention of the administration is concerned, the Southern Senators are en tirely mistaken, because the President and Secretary Root have nothing more In view than the maintenance of friendly rela tions with Japan, a nation with which we have traditional ties of friendship, and which is Just now particularly valuable to Tis in a commercial way. While the administration is thus clearly acquitted of any Intention to apply Its theories to the negro question, it none the less is true that the situations are so closely concerned that if the Japanese by the power of the Unjted States can be put in the public schools In San Fran cisco in spite of the local law, a full blooded negro, with a certificate of citi zenship from France or Germany or Great Britain and there are thousands of such could be forced into the white schools 6f Washington. Charleston, At lanta or New Orleans. The result is that the Southern and Pacific Coast Senators are rapidly getting together. They will defeat any measure in the future which gives the alien citizens the right to attend local public schools in spite ot local laws. FRENCH TALK WILDLY OF AVAR Predictions Japan Will Fight Amer ica Denied by Diplomat. PARIS, Dec. 1. Great interest is mani fested here in the. subject growing out of the exclusion of Japanese children from the public schools of San Francisco. Some of the French newspapers take an alarming view of the affair, owing to sensational statements cabled reporting recent arrivals from the Far East as saying that a clash between Japan and the United States Is Inevitable. The Japanese Legation today issued a reas suring note declaring that the paroxysm of popular anger as raging in Japan was greatly exaggerated, and saying: "Naturally, it Is a matter of national pride that our countrymen be permitted to enjoy the rights guaranteed by treaty, but we appreciate the local conditions, and have the fullest confidence in the ability of the Washington Government to arrange with California for a recognition of our rights. There is no thought of war. The best proof that the situation is not regarded In Japan as being grave is the fact that the Legation here has not received any cable messages on the sub ject. Had Tokio been preparing to make a demonstration or to do anything of in ternational importance, the Legation would have received warning instructions." Germany First to Agree. BERLIN, Dec. l. In answer to re ports published abroad that Germany objected to the South American repub lics taking part In the peace confer ence at The Hague, it is officially stat ed that when President Roosevelt pro posed to postpone the conference to 1907 because of the Pan-American Con gress at Rio Janeiro. Germany was the first country to agree to this. Paid Dummies by Installments. OMAHA, Dec. 1. The testimony In the Richards-Comstock land fraud trial in the United States District Court today, de veloped the fact that Thomas H. Hunting ton, the alleged agent of the principal defendants, in order to insure the return of the homesteaders to the- land every six months, paid each of them $25 semi-annually on the leases and also" paid all the ex penses of the trips.

PUBLIC FOOTS THE BILL In Granting New Trial' Under Sher man Law, He Holds Three Associations Combined to Restrain Trade. PHILADELPHIA, "Dec. L On the ground that incompetent evidence had been allowed before the Jury, Judge Arichibold, in the United States Court of Appeals, today ordered a new trial in the case of C. G. A. Loder, a druggist of this city, who secured a verdict of $20,738 against the National Druggists' Associa tion, the Philadelphia Wholesale Drug gists' Association and the Philadelphia Retail Druggists Association on the al legation that a conspiracy existed among the defendants to ruin his business in that they refused to sell him goods because he cut prices. The suit was Instituted under-the Sher man anti-trust act and damages of $100, 000 were claimed. The Jury rendered a verdict of $20,738 and under the provisions of the Sherman act Loder was entitled to triple damages and therefore was awarded $62,214. Judge Archibold in his decision declared there was an understanding among the organizations Involved to maintain prices and otherwise control the trade in viola tion of law. Continuing, Judge Archibold says: "If co-operation and concerted action such as this does not make out a com bination and conspiracy in restraint of trade, it Is difficult to see what would be effective to do so. The combination Is clear -and has been demonstrated. So also is the restraint of trade. That, In deed, was the purpose of it. It is con fidently asserted by those having the right to speak that the cost to the coun try of the tripartite agreement amounted to $9,000,000 In six years. The general pub lic, as usual, has thus been made to foot the bill. That this constitutes, in law as In fact, an unlawful combination in restraint of trade within the meaning of the act there can be no doubt." CALDWELL- SAYS HE DID IT Lackawanna Official Denies Stand ard Influenced Him Against Davis. NEW YORK, Dec. 1 David F. Davis, ot the complaining firm of Preston & Davis, testified today at the hearing be fore the Interstate Commerce Commission, which is investigating a charge that the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Rail road Company discriminated against in dependent oil dealers in Brooklyn, that, while the terminal used to be kept clean. In recent years it was allowed to become littered with inflammable materials. He said that the nearest plant of the Stand ard Oil Company is two miles away. General Manager Ketcham, of the Lack awanna, testified that he had advised the discontinuance of the delivery of ollcars after he had seen the spilled oil and ob served the method of unloading. It was not until after the big Hoboken fire that he had his .first Interview with Mr. Davis. Vice-President Caldwell testified that he, the head of the traffic department of the railroad, was entirely responsible for the discontinuance of the traffic. "Were you informed or Influenced in any way by the Standard Oil Company?" he was asked. "No, sir." The hearing then closed. Arguments on the law and facts will be made in Wash ington December 15. !

It is expected that the bill will be reported to the House Thursday. MONOPOLY CAUSES FAMINE (Continued from First Page.) Pacific Coal Company and the Superior Coal Company, which are creatures of the Union Pacific Railroad in Utah. The monopoly In Utah has been built up by the Gould lines, the Denver & Rio Grande and the Rio Grande West ern, through the medium of the Utah Fuel Company and the Pleasant Valley Coal Company. It is an astonishing fact that these companies market" practically all of the output of this state. At Coalville - and Grass Creek are small independent companies whose output is Infinitesimal. It is stated by officials of the Utah Company that 75 per cent of the coal produced by It Is marketed within the State of Utah, showing conclusively that the coal out put in this state has been retarded. Conditions in Colorado and Wyoming are similar. Dying Man Diagnoses -Own Case. NEW YORK, Dec. l.--Dr. Edward J.

Willheim agreed with Dr. Mc Donough that the trouble was due to acute Indigestion. READY TO TELL HIS STORY Government Relieves Gurko From Care of Famine Fund and Quiets Clamor Democrats Driven by Repression to Violence. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1. Lidval. the contractor who is charged with fraud in connection with the purchase of grain for famine relief, and his agent, Sotsklch, have arrived here to testify before the investigating com mittee. Assistant Minister of the In terior Gurko. who is accused of com plicity with Lidval, has at his own re quest been relieved of his duties of Director of Supplies for the famine districts. Lidval will face the Investigation in a defiant mood. He declared to the Associated Press tonight that the con tract was perfectly regular and that a thousand carloads of grain had already been delivered, valued at over $200,000, the amount advanced to him. The de lay in supplying the remainder, he said, was due to the inefficiency of the railroad arrangements. He gave no satisfactory explanation as to why Gurko wsi entrusted with a great contract without security for its prompt performance. The prompt suspension of Gurko and the appointment of a rron-bureaucratic commission to investigate the case has had a reassuring effect on public opinion. With the approach of the elections the measures of the administration against the Constitutional Democrats are being sharpened. The party litera ture Is being confiscated and its com mittees and other societies have been driven to underground activities, such as bomb-throwing. Leaders of the party claim that It is thriving under this repression, but it has lost con siderable ground In the South by the withdrawal of the richer Hebrew ele ments, which are allied with the Peaceful Regenerationists. A conference of the Governors of provinces Is sitting at St. Petersburg to discuss methods for controlling the parliamentary elections in the interest of the Moderate parties. An official communication issued today explains that the prohibition of participation by government employes in political par ties has reference only to the Constitu tional Democrats and other radical or ganizations. The Congress of Nobles today passed a resolution that it Is necessary to change the election laws to act as a basis and institute a Parliament of the model of the pre-revolutlonary three estates of France.
