Opens War With Trust.
TVsddell said that when he notified the
tiig powder company that he was about
to sever his relations with the company.
I. V. DuPont asked him what he was
going to do. He replied that he was go
ing to build a mill and go into business
for himself, and Mr. DuPont said he
would like to go in with him. There
was a period of negotiations over terms.
Mr. Waddell said, and It was finally
agreed that he should have 51 per cent
ff the profits and the DuPonts the re
maining 4I per cent. He said that up
to February when he left the big com
pany, he had every reason to believe
that the DuPonts were to be hla part
ners, but then the negotiations were
broken ofT.
"Alone, he organlxed the Ruckeye Pow
der Company, and started to erect a mill
at Peoria. III. He experienced great dif
ficulty in getting machinery for his mills,
finding that many of the manufacturers
of the best machinery were under con
tract to furnish machinery only to com
panies in the big association.
Spies Watched Shipments.
"In September. 1506," said the witness,
"I sold my mill to Alman Unt and F.
"W. Oler. From the time I started
business until I sold out continuous war
fare was waged against me by the asso
ciated powder companies. "-
Mr. Waddell said that, whereas the
price of blasting powder In Illinois had
been 11.35 per keg. Immediately after the
building of his mills was commenced all
the associated powder companies reduced
Masting powder to 11.10 flat in the district
that would be reached by his mills.
"Spies and detectives were sent Inside
my mills to create dissension among the
employes." said Mr. Waddell. "I was
enahled to overhear a conversation which
took place between Harry Page, of the
Chicago. Burlington & Qulncy Railroad,
and a representative from Dupont. At
that conversation Page was offered S1'5
a month and to for every letter he would
write In which lie was to give the de
tails of every shipment made from the
Ruckeye Mills, the name of the con
signee and the date and number in each
case."
In reply to a question by Judge
Scarlett, if he had lost any contracts
' from the actions of the associated
powder companies, the witness said
that he lost a contract with the Deer
ing Coal Company, of Chicago.
"I had supplied this company with
in.fton or 11.000 barrels." he said, "when
one day 1 learned that a car of powder
liarl been refused. I was told that this
was because the miners would not use
Buckeye powder. They had been
spoken to by agents of the Dupont and
I.aflln Rand companies and appar
ently. bad been Induced to protest
against the use of my powder."
The hearing was adjourned until
Wednesday next.

PITTPBCRG. Oct. Justice J. P.
I'.lkin. of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania, who up to this time has made
only a general denial of improper rela
tions with John D. Archbold and the
Standard Oil Company, as Inferenti.illy
charged by Mr. Hearst through the rend
ing of a number of letters to Mr. Elkln
at a political meeting In New York 1at
Saturday night, presented a detailed
statement to the Associated Press To
night, explaining the letters, and the mat
ters to which they referred. Mr. Elkln"s
statement follows In part:
The evident Intention of the publica:ton
of four letters read by Mr. Viarst in which
inv name anears tn tit support fhe Infer
ence that the money en n.e as to in
fluence Improperly teeMatlon or for some
othr unworltiv j.u-po"'-
The first is a lelti-r of IntroducTinn to Mr.

niious to get some definite Information on
the .ihlet and It was sugcesled to me
tat 1 take up rite subject with some of
11. lata of the railroad system. 1 del not
kn.-.w personally any persons connected
with the c.oiipanv. an asked Mr. Arch
bold. whom I hid known since he was a
strtuclinp y..un man In Western Pennsyl
vania, to glxe me a letter of introduction,
w ht. h wa d..ne- As it turned out ai'ier
wmd. I did not use the letter, for the reason
thr.t th- des:re.i irroi-nation was secu-ed
from other sourcer I do not know Mr.
Tw.mbly personally and never met him.
The next two letters are dated February
p. ltoo. and March liloo. respectively.
lnd from these letters the inference is at
tempted to be drawn that the mi.ney men
tioned therein was Intended to secure tiie
defeat of certTtTi legislation which was
1- emed ol-Jecl'on;',ble. The Legislature was
no: in session that year, there were no
Mils pending, and the Inference is manl
fsitlv unfounded.
wSlle the drafts mentioned were forward
ed to me. they were not intended for my
use. Thee wers contributions for politi
cal purposes and were by me turned over
to the cainoaicn fund.
As to the letter of May f. 1901. ui.nn
whlcta reliance Is placed to connect all
these matters with the suggestion of the
Improper use of money In In llueneitis
ls!atloil. It rou.-t not be overlooked that
this Utter was written 1.H months after the
Twomhlv lellT and one year and three
mon'hs "after the other two letters, which
would have no reference, to any legusla
uia matter at that tlms. It was a letter

of inquiry, whtrh I assume was wIl

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 36. "Consider
ing that I recommended In my inaugu
ral address a tax on oil and coal taken
out of thte state In order to pay the ex
penses of the public schools, you can see
that it Is extremely Improbable I re

Archbold relative to the appointment of

night."
This vu the reply of Former Governor
Samuel W. Pennypacker when asked to
day if Judge Henderson was appointed
by him through the intervention of Mr.
Archbold or Standard Oil Interests.
Mr. Pennypacker was not absolutely
certain that he had not received any com
munication from Mr. Archbold, but he
said that If any letters or any other com
munications were received they will be
on file at the state capital at Harris
bung. He said that he never had seen
Mr. Archbold. and that It is unlikely
Mr. Archbold ever asked him to appoint
Judge Henderson.

ex-cashlcr of the Phoenix National
Rank, shot and mortally wounded his
wife today In the yard of the home of
U E. Hewlns. at 1303 East Washington

fourth passed through the woman's
body Just under the heart.
Wounded as she was. she ran Into the
house, while Knox, after snapping the
revolver vainly at his head, hacked at
the veins of his wrist with a pen
knife. When arrested, he w-as found to be
Insane, wildly talking of plots to kill
him by turning an electric current
through his body. He is a hopeless
consumptive and the disease appears
to have reached his brain. His condi

The couple were married In San
Francisco last March, after the bride.
Miss Ida Foxhall, had spent part of

a millionaire brother died last year.
MORSE KNEW HIS, GROUND
(Continued from First Page
on October 13 last. Just before the panic,
that the bank was all loaned up with
little call money outstanding. On October
6. he said. Otto Heinie & Co. tried to bor
row $126,000 from the bank and failed to
get It. On October 1 V. Augustus Helnze
called to see Morse and later a check for
IILS.ooo. drawn by Mr. Morse and cashed
at the American National Bank, came to
the National Bank of North America-
Mr. Morse then had a balance of between
JoOnO and 110.000 In the bank. Mr. Wire
said he reported the overdraft to Mr.
Morse's secretary.
It came out on examination that Mr.
Morse kept a large amount of collateral
In the loan department of the National
Rank of North America to protect any
checks that unexjiectedly came in.
At about that time, the witness said, he
had prepared a list of Morse collateral
held by the bank for the information of
Mr. Flagler and other directors.
The total value on October 20 of this
collateral, the list of which was read to
the jury by Mr. Olcott. was .701.140. On
the same day Mr. Morse owed the bank
J560.000.
Collateral Shaky.
The collateral named consisted princi
pally of United Copper stock. American
Ice collateral 4 per cent. Trust bonds' of
the Consolidated Steamship Company and
also some Mexican Coal stocks and shares
in New York and Maine banks.
Mr. Wire said he signed the reports
for the bank to the Controller of the
Treasury, believing they wore correct and
true, and that he did not know that Mr.
Curtis knew any more about them than
he did.
Counsel for Mr. Curtis asked If Mr.
Havemeyer. former president of the bank,
did not have loans in the bank In the
name of J. A. Smith, his stenographer.
The question was ruled out.
Mr. Wire told Mr. Olcutt that neither
Mr. Curtis nor Mr. Morse had ever
Instructed him to make improper or
wrong entries in the Controller's re
ports. Mr. Wire said he knew the
loans to Davison Brown of S 135.000
were really an obligation of Mrs. Cath
erine Gelshonen and that she used the
proceeds to deal In Ice stock and get
the profits thereon.
Ice Slock Favored.
It came out that other loans were made
by the banker upon the Ice stock and
that while profits weve credited to the
borrowers some of the losses were charged
again U the bank.
After further questions. Mr. Wire said
that of the J701.140 Morse collateral which
the cashier had listed as held by the
bank. JliS.000 worth of "Consolidated
Steamship bonds" were not In actual
physical possession of the bank.
W. W. Lee, formerly a vice-president of
the National Bank of North America,
testified that on October 1. Mr. Curtis
said:
I have Just told Mr. Morse that he
lias busted the bank."
Mr. Morse said:
"Don't say that."
' Havemeer Called.
William Havemeyer was called and told
of a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Rank of North America on Octobsr
IT. The loans of Mr. Morse were dis
cussed at the meeting, he said, and Mr.
Morse was asked to explain the J21L0W
demand loan and had refused to do so.
Mr. Curtis had explained, the witness
said, that Mr. Morse had overdrawn his
account and had given the note as the
only possible settlement.
On cross-examination. Mr. Havemeyer
denied that while president of the bank
and when the institution's reserve was be
low 25 psr cent he had made a loan to
himself of 25.ert0 without security.
Charles M. Schwab and John W. Gates
were examined briefly. They were merely
asked if they, while directors of the bank,
had ever had knowledge of overdrafts by
Morse. They denied this knowledge.

side, as she spoke, smiled 'happily at the
mention of the Duke's name.
"I wish I could tell you something def
inite." added Mrs. Elkins. "but as yet
we know nothing ourselves."
Rumors of parental objection to the
alliance .because of her adopting the
Catholic religion have been dissipated by
Miss Elkins' practical withdrawal from
the Presbyterian Church here, whlcn

which her grandfather, ex-Senator Henry
G. Davis, built at an expense of $76,000.
and which he and Mrs. Elkins attended

sonally announced his engagement at
Turin today and that the weddin will
occur In November. We don't think it
is true, however.
"The report from Chicago that Mrs.

engagement of her daughter to the
Italian nobleman is untrue. Mrs. El

ing this matter. Furthermore, she wiil
not give an Interview.
"As for the report that Cardinal Gib

the minds of the people off their demand
to open the books of the campaign fund.
"The Republicans don't want a change
of administration because If there comes
a change the books will be opened and
rhe whole work of the Republican admin
istration for the past twelve years will be
shown up," said Mr. Hack.

NEW STREETCARS HERE
Tair of f Pay-as-Y'ou-Enter Type
Arrive From the East.
The first of the new pay-as-you-enter
cars to be placed on the local
lines of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company reached the city yes
terday morning from the factories In
St. Louis. Two cars of the new type
arrived yesterday and the remainder
of the 25 ordered by the local traction
corporation will arrive within the next
two weeks.
Five of the new cars will be put In
service on the Hawthorne avenue line
of the Oregon Water Power division.
Others will go to work on the Sixteenth-street
and the Twenty-third-street
lines of the West Side division.
This will leave a few cars of the new
type for use on other divisions, where
they will be tried out to see how suit
able they are for permanent use.
President" Josselyn, of the street
railway company, is confident the new
cars will prove a great success where-ev-er
tried. He says they are proving
very popular in the Eastern cities
and sees no reason why they should
not be equally successful In Portland.
A feature about the pay-as-you-en-ter
car that unquestionably had much
to do with its Introduction in Port
land Is the fact that It is said to be
proof against passengers who dodge
the conductor and do not pay their
fare. Traction companies estimate
that one fare in every ten does not
reach the treasurer of the company,
either through passengers not paying
or because the conductor steals. The
pay-as-you-enter car will do away
with anyone riding without paying
fare for the passenger must produce

he Is allowed to go Inside the car.
BOARD STATES PRINCPLES

The members oT the Park Board
held a special meeting last night for
the purpose of making various recom
mendations to be considered by the
charter commission. The board decid
ed not to offer specific amendments to
the present charter, but instead a
statement of principles regarding the
provisions of the new charter, without
regard to the manner in which the
department of parks is controlled.
The members of the Board declared
themselves opposed to the practice of
trimming tres. They believed that no
more such permits should be granted
and that more rigid regulations should
be adopted covering the removal or
trimming of trees. They also believed
that the park department should have
the right to determine the type of
trees to be planted on residence
streets-
Consulerable discussion was given to
the methods employed by other cities
in the matter of parks and boulevards,
special attention being given to, the
plan in use in Des Moines. The mem

To women who suffer Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are worth their weight in
gold. At special periods a woman needs
medicine to regulate her blood-supply
or her life will be a round of pain and
suffering. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
of untold value to women at such times
for they increase that portion of the
blood which absorbs oxygen, the great
supporter of organic life. In this way
they may be said to make new blood.
They are good for men too but are
adapted in a special way to the needs of
women and growing girls. "
Mrs. C. H. Morlaid, of Scalp Level,
Pa., suffered for several years with
weakness and her onre by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills should be read by every suf
fering woman.
"From my fourteenth year," she says,
"I suffered with weakness common to
girls of my age. I had no strength or
ambition to work, was subject to dizzy
spells when I would have to lie down,
and during these spells would see black
specks floating before my eyes. I would
wake np every morning as tired as I
would have been if I nad Just been
through a hard day's work. I had no
appetite, food distressed me and was
like a heavy load on my stomach and I
was troubled with constipation. When
I tried to work or became overheated
my heart would hurt me so that I could
hardly breathe. I suffered with sick
headaches as often as five days a week.
I often had to go back to bed on account
of the headaches which were so bad
that sometimes I could scarcely see.
"The doctors finally told me that
there was no help for me unless I under
went an operation. I, was treated by
one doctor for seven or eight years but
his medicine did not help me much. I
was led to take Dr. "Williams Pink Pills
by a woman who was at my home one
day, and after taking them a while I
noticed that I was getting stronger and
continued with them until cured. I am
now never without Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and. occasionally nse them as a
tonio. I have gained 80 pounds in
weight and am in the best of health."

AXD FRENCH BEGINS.
Captain Torfey Testifies Animals
Were Bought Prom Dr. Burk
hart Then Resold to Him.
DETROIT, OcL 26. With Major-Gen-eral
Fred J. Grant, commanding the
Department of the East, presiding, the
general courtmartial called several
weeks ago to try Colonel Gorman and
Captain Charles G. French, of the Sev
enth United States Infantry, on charges
in connection with alleged misappropria
tion of Government horse feed and its
use for animals not owned by Army offi
cers, convened today at Fort Wayne.
It is alleged that the horses owned by
Dr. John L. Burkhart, an Army con
tract surgeon, were used by officers at
Fort Wayne and fed on Government
rations at the fort at Government ex
pense. Captain Toffey testified that he bought
a horse from Dr. Burkhart about August
1. 1907; paid tl and received a bill of
sale. He said he- was to have the use
of the horse, but Dr. Burkhardt was to
take care of it and exercise it.
Later Dr. Burkhart took this horse
away, but gave the Captain another in
its place, but did not change the bill of
sale. Captain Toffey said that while he
felt he had a legal right to sell the horse
if he wanted to, morally he was obliged
to sell it to Dr. Burkhart, so that when
the doctor wanted the horse, in January,
J908, the Captain gave it to him with a
bill of sale and received $1 in return.
Lieutenant Peck gave similar testimony
regarding a horse he obtained in a simi
lar manner from Dr. Burkhart iu July,
1907. Neither Captain Toffey nor Lieu
tenant Peck made any use of the horses
they bought from Burkhart.

If Aon Have a Friend Afflicted With
EcKmi, tell tbe DrasarUt About It.
If you have a friend suffering from
eczema, tell us about it the next time
you are in the store.
Many eczema sufferers have tried so
many useless remedies and spent so
much money with doctors that they
practically despair. If they only knew
of the simplest home cure for eczema!
It is nothing more than oil of winter
green compound (as mixed in D. D. D.
Prescription).
Used with glycerine, thymol and
other healing ingredients in liquid
form, this simple remedy penetrates
the pores of the skin, numbing and
killing the eczema germs while build
ing up the healthy tissue.
If you will suggest to your friend
afflicted with eczema to call, we shall
be glad to explain to any sufferer
about D- D. D. Prescription.
