It Would Bring Punish
ment at Election.
ALEXANDRIA BAT. N. Y., Aug:. 27.
"Am I a candidate for the Republican
nomination for President? No; I have
'not the bee. personally. Would I accept
I the nomination? No citizen has ever de
clined it, or ever will. I would rather
contribute to making the next session of
Congress a success', so that my party
will deserve and win success In 1908, than
have the Presidency tendered to me on
e golden salver."
Representative J. G. Cannon, of Illi
nois, Speaker of the last House, and un
doubtedly destined to be Speaker of the
next, the country's "Uncle Joe" and the
choice of his state for the nomination
for President Roosevelt's successor, said
this with great earnestness today. The
Speaker gave the interview sitting aft
on the deck of the yacht owned by his
friend. Representative Joseph C. Sibley,
of Pennsylvania. He bad come East, as
' Is his custom, to spend the last two
weeks of August with Mr. Sibley and
had been putting in most of his time at
Mr. Sibley's place on Volcour Bay, Lake
Champlaln.
Each Has Own Candidate.
Mr. Sibley's other guests were Senator
Hemenway, of Indiana, who is the man
ager of the candidacy of Vice-President
Fairbanks; Representatives E. B. Vree
land and George R. Maltby, of New
York, who at the proper time probably
will be found voting In the National Con
vention for Governor Hughes; and ex
Representative L. N. Littauer, whose
first choice is ' President Roosevelt,
whether he wants it or not. Mr. Sibley
himself is a Knox "man. Tnus, when the
yacht arrived at Alexandria Bay, the
small party contained a pretty wide as
sortment of Presidential Summer prefer
ences.
Not Seeking Nomination.
"I am not disposed to do much talking
now," continued Mr. Cannon. "I am not
. seeking the nomination. I am not car
rying a buzzing presidential bee around
in my hat. Others may talk about the
tariff and business, and the railroads, and
various other Questions that they deem to
be uppermost in the country, but as for
me, I do not care to go into them, and
I will tell you why.
"A new Congress is to be organized in
December. In all human probability I
will be called on to organize it. That like
lihood gives me a duty and responsi
bility that I do not look on lightly. Now,
I want to make this point:
"If Congress does not act wisely at
the next session, if it Is not actuated by
calmness and patriotism, if it makes great
mistakes and fails to meet the approval
of the reasoning American public, there
will not be much need for the election
of delegates to the next National Con
vention of the Republican party.
Too Busy for Politics.
"The great masses are not talking poli
tic now. They are busy. Their ambition
is to see that nothing is done to make
them idle. This country is very prosper
ous. There is the old scare of uneasiness
in Wall street, but Wall street should look
back into the country, where the factories
are going, where the farmers are har
vesting their crops and sending them to
market, where well paid labor is putting
forth enormous production for our domes
tic markets and for the markets of the
world. It would be a crime if Congress
should do anything at this time to upset
business, and it might make mistakes in
half a dozen ways."
MAY NOT CALL OIL KINGS
Standard Hearing May Be Based on
Company's Records.
NEW YORK. Aug. 27. It is quite pos
sible that the Government's investigation
Into the affairs of the Standard Oil Com
pany, which will begin September 3, will
be carried on without John D. Rockefel
ler, William Rockefeller or Henry H.
Rogers being called on to testify. Fra-R
B. Kellogg, special counsel for the Gov
ernment, admitted tonight that there was
a possibility that the investigation might
be confined to the records and books of
the company.
TARIFF AFTER ELECTION
Chairman Payne Says It Will Not Be
Discussed Before.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 22. Representa
tive Sereno E. Payne, of New York,
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, was In town today. He looks like
a two-year-old, fresh and vigorous, and
baa been occupying himself during these
PIMMM ' UflP fill
hot months sitting on the front porch of
a cottage overlooking one of the beauti
ful New York lakes and enjoying life.
"Tariff?'' echoed Mr. Payne, at the Ra
leigh this afternoon, "why, I don't think
there is going to be any tariff talk until
after the Presidential election. In my
opinion there is. by general consent
among the Republicans, an agreement
that it will not be wise to agitate revi
sion of .the tariff on the eve of a Presi
dential election."
"Well, will there be revision after the
Presidential election?" asked e Star man.
The chairman of the ways . nd means
committee, admittedly one of the great
est tariff experts in tiia couflVy, puffed at
a long Havana cigar meditatively. Then
he said;
"I think that the ' Republican National
Convention will deekfti that question."
"Are you in favor of tariff revision af
ter the election?"
"I have great confidence in a Republi
can Convention and in a Republican Con
gress. I am willing to abide by ttie de
cision of the Republican party upon any
question relating to party policies."
Mr. Payne said that there are no hard
times in New York fctate. Factories are
running full time, every man who wants
employment and is competent can obtain
it, and Indeed there is a shortage of com
petent labor in the manufacturing towns.
H does not look for any depression in
indusries and is not inclined to be pea
slmlatlo about the flnatvcial-outlook.
"How about Presidential politics in
New York?" he was asked.

Prune and OllTe Oil Cure for Imper
fect Lives Produces Xo Perfect
Babes and the Patients Have
AH Disappeared.
CHICAGO. Aug. 27. (Special.) The big
simple life" sanitarium of Dr. Asher
Gluck. 1171 Milwaukee avenue, is deserted.
Patients who for months are said to have
taken the prune and olive oil cure for
imperfect lives have disappeared. The
attendants cannot be found. Heavy pad
locks adorn the doors of the big four-
story structure.
In the meantime, Dr. Gluck, Inventor
of the simple life and author of "Olam
Hobbo, or the New Immortality," is In
New York, where It Is said he will pur
chase a supple of olive oil for the Fall
and Winter season. Dr. Gluck startled
New York with his statements of what
the simple life may do. He offered to
wager $30,000 that any man and woman
who lived perfect lives under his direc
tion for 15 months could have a perfect
child, which would think coherently and
talk at birth and be fully developed in
five years.
Dr. Gluck once tried the experiment
of preparing parents for such a child,
but, according to his own story, the
couple Indulged in a sly kiss during
the treatment, thus breaking the
charm. Dr. Gluck's whole object In
life, he says, is not to make money,
but to turn out perfect human beings.
Of course, he says, it costs to take
the treatment, but that ' is simply a
minor consideration. Attendants who
could be found laughed at the claims
of Dr. Gluck.
"If he can make perfect human be
ings out of the bunch I once attend
ed," Bald one of the former employes,
"why, then, I'll take the treatment
myself."
Dr. Gluck, in his writings, claims to
have studied 882 religions and, found
they were all made up by liars. His
own religion, he asserts, is the only
true belief. He refuses to use animal
products in any form. The only
clothes he wears consists of a linen
suit. Socks and underclothing are ta
booed. In his sanitarium, it is said,
his women patients wear trousers, but
as yet they have not been seen in
public.

Boiton Admits Perjury to
Deceive Xevrspapers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2T. Secretary
Treasurer F. W. Eaton, of the Pacific
States Telephone & Telegraph Company,
was called to the stand this morning by
the prosecution in the case of the Glass
bribery trial. He testified again to the
drawing by him of about $50,000 worth
of checks in February of 1906 for which
no vouchers were turned In. He did not
know who ordered the checks drawn or
who signed them. The records thereof
were destroyed in the fire.
Cashier William J. Kennedy was called.
He testified to the drawing of $10,000 and
$5000 checks in February, and told of the
subsequent return to the company of
$7000 or $7500 lnferentlally comprising the
bribe moneys returned by several Super
visors, on demand of Halsey, after the
granting of the Home Telephone Com
pany's franchise application, according
to the claim of the prosecution.
Mr. Heney Introduced memoranda
from five local, banks showing; the
withdrawal of approximately $50,000 In
February, corresponding to the total
amount alleged to have been paid to
the Supervisors at that time. Thomas
E. Sherwin, formerly traveling auditor
of tho telephone company, testified to
a similar $50,000 entry on the books of
the corporation, which he was audit
ing at the time of their destruction
in the April Are.
Slow Witness Angers Heney.
The examination by Mr. Heney of John
W. Gllkyson, assistant to the general
superintendent of the telephone company,
developed a rough incident in the morn
ing session. Mr. Gllkyson took a long
time to answer questions and showed no
excess of willingness to testify. Finally,
Mr. Heney, exasperated by the coolness
and slow-going of the witness, bellowed
a question at him and wound it up with
a sarcastic query as to whether he un
derstood it. Mr. Delmas protested.
"Tour honor," he said, "I submit that
this witness ought not to be bully
ragged." "And I submit,"' shouted Mr. Heney,
'that he ought to be bullyragged if this
is bullyragging. It is perfectly evident
to your honor that he Is trying to evade
the questions by dodging. He is getting
just the sort of treatment he needs."
Judge Lawlor said: "Counsel will con
trol his manner in addressing the wit
ness and, if the responses are not
promptly forthcoming, counsel will (sub
mit that fact to the court and the court
will deal with It. Proceed."
Admits Deceiving Xewspapers.
Dr. Charles Boxton, the ex-Supervisor,
was recalled by the prosecution and
BRIBERY TIM
required to repeat and did reaffirm his
prior testimony to the effect that Detective
vV. J. Burns, the right hand of the graft
prosecutions, commanded him to deny to
the public that he had made a confession,
and urged him to swear to a false affi
davit to that purport, "if the newspaper
reporters crowded him too closely."
"Did you understand that he wished you
to swear falsely before the grand Jury?"
asked Mr. Heney.
"No," sajd Boxton. "As I understood it.
he wanted to throw the newspapers off
the scent. It Is considered perfectly
legitimate to deceive the newspapers, pos
sibly to the extent of a false oath."
Facts Contradict Theory.
At the afternoon session several bank
officials were called and read letters from
the telephone company authorizing the
honoring of checks signed by certain of
its officials, who were named. The object
of this testimony was to show that dur
ing the period of the alleged briberies no
checks of the telephone company could
have been cashed unless signed by either
Glass or Zimmer. in view of the testi
mony of Mr. Scott that he did not take
charge as president until after the ex
piration of that period. But the force
of this line of reasoning was somewhat

impaired by the fact that some of these
letters of authorization bore the signature
of Mr. Scott as president.
Most Damaging Evidence.
Through the testimony of E. S. Pills
bury, chief counsel of the Pacific States
Telephone Company, and various minor
officials of that corporation and a num
ber of local bank tellers. Glass was
brought dangerously close to Halsey.
The most damaging testimony waa that
of Plllsbury. He testified that Glass
had authority to consummate deals of
Import without the indorsement of the
executive committee of the board of
directors. Others testified that Glass
was occupying the supreme office in
the company at the time of the alleged
bribery and from the bankers" testi
mony it was adduced that the name of
Louis Glass was invariably seen on
checks.

Wealthy Lumber Merchant Be

Spook's Dictation.
NEW YORK. Aug. 27. (Special.) Sur
prising testimony concerning the versa
tility of the spook of the Indian maiden.
Bright Eyes, was obtained from Edward
Ward Vanderbllt, the aged June bride
groom of Mary Ann Scannell Pepper,
Brooklyn's spiritualistic bishop, in the
County Court, Erooklyn, today.
The lunacy commission which Is examin
ing Into the wealthy lumber merchant's
sanity was Informed that Bright Eyes
was fond of candy, drove a horse named
Charley, used a telephone, wrote letters
and had other accomplishments that are
rare In the spirit world. When Mr. Van
derbllt was asked where Mrs. Pepper
Vanderbllt was secluding herself from
subpena service, he replied that Bright
Eyes refused to tell him. "Bright Eyes,"
in control of the bishop, had called him
on the telephone last night.
Several months ago Mrs. Pepper sud
denly dropped her work . In Brooklyn,
where she was the head of a spiritualist
"church," and married Mr. Vanderbllt, an
elderly man of wealth. Soon afterwards
he presented his bride with a $10,000 house
and other valuable gifts.
His daughter took alarm and charged
that Mrs. Pepper had not only taken ad
vantage of the old man's feeble mental
condition to bring about their marriage,
but was planning to wheedle his fortune
away from him. She began proceedings
to secure a guardian for her father and
his estate that would prevent his dis
sipating his fortune or alienating it from
the daughter. The first step is to hav
the old man's sanity tested before a lun
acy commission, which is now being done.

Savior of Forests.
CHICAGO; Aug. 27. (Special.) Secre
tary of Agriculture James Wilson, who

ment forest preserves in the West, de
clared that If better care, more general

"President Roosevelt has done much
for the preservation of th forests. He
has added more than 150.fKiO.00') acres to
the "forestry reserves and would have
made more had not the last Congress
cut him down. He appreciates moro than
many private citizens the great worth of
our forests. The East is dependent en
