ing It. He introduced me to Senate Re
vision Clerk Lewis and asked me to
end a check for that amount to him.
and they divided the proceeds of the
check. I offer you evidence that SUI
well wrote me. March 21. to come to
his office next day and demanded $500
each for four Senate committeemen to
report the bill out of committee.
"I said that would do no good unless
the assembly committee reported it.
and he said he would canvass them
next day and send me a wire so that
I would understand how much It would
cost. I offer you evidence of the
amount namely, $1500 in his tele
gram. Hill JteMrted l ader Threats.
"I declined his proposition. He called
me up next day and told me there wax
nothing doing unless I paid IS500 In
advance. I replied I would telegraph
fie whole matter to you and every leg
islator unless he reported the bill out
in II hours. He did it. Under the
same penalty demanded of him that
my bill be reported out of the assem
bly committee Immediately, and It was
done In 4s hours.
' "J think I ought to let yon know
anyway. If you want some undocu
mentary hearsay evidence of the stock
exchange using a large amount of
money to defeat the Incorporation bill.
I am willing to tell you what Stllwell
told me. No newspaper has anything
of this."
I-ato this afternoon Senator Stllwell

and confronted by Mr. Kendall. The
ilovernor suggested that he 'would
better go upstairs and resign."

Proposed Schedule Would Jtednec
Revenue of live Companies by
$,000,000 a Year, Counsel
Declares In Argument.
WASHINGTON, April 1. Express
companies of the country have been
hit hard by the operation of the new
parcel post system, according to state
ments submitted today to the Inter
state Commerce Commission by coun
sel for the companies In their final ar-
uments against the reduction on ex
press rates proposed by the Commis
sion. It was declared that the com
panies have suffered a loss approxi
mating ii per cent In small package,
business, or about S per cent of the
gross revenues of the companies.
Walker U. Hlnes asserted that for
the five companies he represented the
Adams, American. United States, South-
rn and Wells-Fargo application of
the proposed rates to present business
would reduce revenues about 1-8. 000,-
000 a year, or 6.S5 cents on every dollar's
worth of business done. Such a reduc
tion lu revenues, he said, would be ab
solutely destructive. He maintained,
also, that the formula-made rates
would seriously disturb business con
ditions In large centers, such as Kew
ork and Chicago, by forcing a read
justment of competitive business con
ditions.
B. K. Fairchlld. of the New Tork
Chamber of Commerce, for the express
nippers, attacked Mr. Hlnes argu
ment as "purely theoretical and hy
pothetical," and Insisted that the pro
posed rates would yield an ample reve-
ue to the express companies, lie
maintained also that the present al-
owances made by the express com
panies to the railroads for transiiorta
tlonTervice were excessive.

thought It was best to take what was
coming to me at first.
" You may have heard mora or lass
discussion when the Presidents of the
United States are retired voluntarily
or otherwise as to what should be
done with them. When I took an In
ventory, all I had was a somewhat
tarnished reputation as a lawyer a
profession that I had abandoned 30
years ago but at the suggestion ot
President Hadley it was decided that
what little law I have left might be
put. Into practice here, and I am here
again to become an active Tale man.
Ambition to Help Yenag Mea.
"Men of Yale, as I bear your cheers
and songs, I feel young again as if I
have shed some of my years. All this
may seem egotistical to you, but I
come here wanting to help the young
men who are going out Into the Na
tion.
"I want to help preserve that part
of the Nation that Is worth preserving
and without which the Nation cannot
exist. If I can do this, I shall thank
God for the opportunity.
I am here to work fn the ranks
with you, and to aid tbe president of
the college, who Is now away from
you, but wbo soon is coming back In
improved health. I propose a cheer for
Arthur Hadley."
A long Yalo cheer was given with a
will and another for Taft. Then oame
an Impressive aong of "Bright College
Years," Yale's song of songs, with the
assemblage standing with bared beads.
Mr. Taft Joined in the singing and
waved bis hat In unison With the stu
dents with the concluding words:
"For God. for country and for Tale."
Mr. and Mrs. Taft later went to the
hotel, where they are to make their
home temporarily.

Museums of Europe Death
Before 1914 Expected.
BERLIN, April 1. Dr. Wilhelm Bode.
general director of the Kolay Museum
of Prussia, in an article published here
todav. says that the late J. P. Morgan
expected his death and urged him in
1S12 to nav a visit to .ew York in
for the ODenlcsr of the new wing of the
Metropolitan Museum, saying tnat ne
himself would not live to be present.
"Mr. Morgan," says Dr. Bode, "was
a great collector of a highly original
tvne. but be was not an expert. He
realized this, although he was unwlll
ing to admit it- In spite of this fact he
was rarely deceived, as he chose his
agents and advisers well.
"He habitually deterred payment ior
several months In case fraud should
develoD in his transactions. Dealers
had such wholesale fear of losing a
good customer that they did not dare
to pass off fraudulent or inferior ar
ticles on him. although this might have
been easy.
'Mr Morgan was responsible for
threefold or fourfold Increase in the
prices of art objects, but also at the
same time for awakening of enthusi
asm In America for art collecting."
Dr. Bode ranks the collection of Mr.
Morgan with those of the greatest
museums of Europe.
5ERA1CES FOR ART LAUDED

the museum's "most active and muni
ficent benefactors." For many years,
the resolutions say. hardly a meeting
of the trustees took place at which
some rich and valued gift from him
,to the museum was not announced.
"His accession to the presidency (In
1904) marked the beginning of a new
era In the Museum's growth and pros
perity." the resolutions continue. "Gifss
and legacies have been strengthened
by his presence and his constant lib
erality, while his efforts in behalf of
the Museum have placed it In a posi
tion where Its future among the great
art Institutions of the world Is as
sured." In line with a recently announced
intention, the corporate stocks budget
committee of the city board of estimate
unanimously decided today to set aside
$750,000 for the proposed south double
wing of the museum intended to have
the famous Morgan collections of art
objects, valued at $60,000,000. Quanti
ties of art treasure which Morgan
caused to be sent here from Europe
not long ago have been stored away
in the basement of the building await
ing a suitable place for their display.

CHICAGO, April 1. Representatives
of fire Insurance companies doing

recommend Plant Juice to anybody,
and while in The Owl Drug Company
store the other day he talked .as fol
lows to the Plant Juice man there:
"I have suffered almost all my life
with liver trouble and sick headaches.
This condition annoyed me a great deal
and always seemed to get worse in the
Spring. I have tried a great many
things for it, but never got much relief.
Recently I became interested in what
tbe papers had to say about Plant Juice
and got my first dose at The Owl; this
dose seemed to do me good, so I re
turned and bought a bottle. I am now
on my second bottle and am feeling
much improved in health. I get up In
the mornings feeling rested, my appe
tite is good and my food seems to
agree with me. I am glad to recom
mend this remedy to anyone who suffers
as I did."
Plant Juice Is new. It is a vegetable
remedy made from the juices of medi
cinal plants and Its effects on the hu
man -organism are truly wonderful. No
matter if your ailments are of long
standing or how many other things
you have tried .or how discouraged you
may feel, try a bottle of Plant Juice, it
helps when all others fall.
If you suffer from Indigestion, torpid
liver, constipation, gas or bloating
after meals, sour stomach, coated
tongue, headaches, dizzy spells, spots
before the eyes, have no appetite, do
not sleep well and get up in the morn
ings tired, just get a bottle ,of Plant
Juice and watch the results: you will
be surprised and pleased. The Plant
Juice man Is at The Owl Drug Company
store, get a bottle from -him and if it
does not help you he will give your
money back.
