of the National Education Association
Is over. The committee on nominations
will make it3 report to tho business
meeting of the active members tomor
row morning. The committee has held
se"eral meetings and has arrived at a
final and unanimous decision on the
recommendations for the three prin
cipal officers.
It Is generally conceded that the
committee's recommendation will be
th will of the delegates.

election as treasurer.
Chicago Unites Against Suyder.
Dr. Swain has been an avowed can
didate for the presidency since the
opening of the convention. Later Miss
.Sheperd was also named as a possible
candidate representative of the 'VTest
and one who would be able to draw the
solid support of the women delegates.
The Chicago delegation, however, de
cided that it would not lend Its sup
port to any one candidate but would
present a solid front 1n opposition to
Dr. Z. X. Snyder, of Colorado, should
he be recommended by the nominating
committee. Miss Margaret Haley, of
Chicago, representing the Chicago
women, and a powerful factor in the
National League of Teachers' Associa
tions, was exceedingly outspoken In
her opposition. She said that the Chi
cagoans were- opposed to Snyder be
cause of the latter's action at the Bos
ton convention.
Name la Not Suggented.
Dr. Snyder and his friends did not
suggest his name for the office yes
terday and today hastened to say that
there had been no thought of urging
him for the office.
Since the talk started by Miss
Haley," eaid Dr. Snyder, "I would not
have the office even though I had the
unanimous support of the committee."
The League of Teachers' Associations
today chose the following officers:
President, Miss Grace Baldwin, Minne
apolis; vlce-pTesidents, Grace Degraff,
Portland, Or.; Mary Willlard Kae,
Syracuse, N. Y.; Helen M. Holden. Mil
waukee; secretary-treasurer, MoVy R.
llobbs, Baltimore.
The million dollar -fund committee
agreed today that there should be pro
vided a permanent income from the
fund, and that the proposed National
headquarters building in Washington,
D. C, should contain permanent officers
of department heads and an educa
tional exhibit.
HOPPERS INVOKE APPEAL
Kansas Governor Asked to Cull Out
, All Men, Women and Children,.
TOPEKA, Kan., July 9. Governor
Hodges received today an appeal
from farmers of Western Kansas
asking htm to Invoke an old law to
aid in the fight on grasshoppers in
tho Western counties. The law, long
unused, was enacted Just after, the
great grasshopper invasions In 1873.
It provides that every able-bodied
man, woman x or child between the
ages of 8 and 60 years may be called
upon to fight grasshoppers.
In the last week farmers have re
ported thousands of dollars loss to
crops from myriads of grasshoppers.
Governor Hodges tonight sent tele
grams to the authorities of all the
western counties of the state where
reports of damage from the insects
have been ' made, asking that a gener
al campaign against the pests be be
gun at once.
The Governor did' not believe it
necessary for him to issue a procla
mation invoking the old "warning
outlaw" at the present time, as the
county commissioners of each county
can do effective work by invoking
the old law or by making arrange
nientF with the farmers to aid In the
campaign.

Manufacturer Says He Knows of No
Expenditures for Political Pur

for Special Exigency.
(Continued from 'First Pag:e.)
Among those are several ex-members
of Congress and. the officers of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers.
The latter have asked Senator Overman
to call about 40 former and present
members of Congress, among them ex
Speaker Cannon, ex-Senator Aldrich,
x-Repreaentattve "Watson, of - Indiana,
and others mentioned by Mulhall. These
witnesses will be wanted by both the
Senate and House committees. Printed
copies of the Mulhall correspondence
have been: prepared for the House In
quisitors. The resolution adopted by
the House provides that all of the
hearings of the committee shall be
open to the public.
The fight against the resolution was
led by Representative Levywho op
posed particularly the reinsertion of a
provision allowing the committee to
employ counsel. This was denied by a
vote of 102 to 104.
- In the course of the debate Repre
sentative McDermott, of Illinois, made
a statement denouncing the use of his
name In th Mulhall letters.
Mills Find Poor Market.
William Whitman, of Boston, co
president of the National Association
of the Arlington Woolen MOls, at Law
rence, Mass.. testified that the Arling
ton mills, with output of 600,000 pounds
of cotton yarn and 400,000 pounds of
wool a week, had not been running at
capacity, on account of poor market
condition, first noticed In 1909. Condi
tions are worse bow, he said, than he
had ever known.
Winthrop L. Marvin, of the wool
association, also testified. He paid the
association collected about $20,000 in
1912, and in 1913 practically the same
sum. In 1911 the collections were about
$15,000, and in 1910 apd 1909 about
$12,000 a year.
"I never knew of a single dollar ex
pended for a political purpose," he
added.
The wltnes said in 1909 some money
was used to send some one not named
to Washington. He thought this
fund might have been raised in some
way outside the regular channels of
contributions to the annual fund. An
other fund about $35,000 to meet ex
traordinary exigencies in connection
with the tariff legislation was raised
about two years ago. Alf was turned
over to Kd V. Green, of Boston, a wool
man, and was contributed by manufac
turers. The witness denied that this
sum was raised to defeat Canadian re
ciprocity. UMAR JIAT BE PROSECUTED

WASTE IS CHARGED
Commence Commission Criti
cises Mellen's Management.
MONOPOLY IS THREATENED
New Haven's Relations With Boston
& Maine Discussed "Outside
Financial Management" Is
Especially Mentioned.
WASHINGTON, July 9. Conduct of
the financial affairs of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad under
the presidency of Charles S.. Mellen is
sharply criticised by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in its report of
its investigation made public today.
- "Outside financial management" Is
declared to have been wasteful. The
agreement with the Boston & Albany
la held to have been violative of the
spirit of the law against restraint of
trade. The Boston & Maine merger,
the Commission says, threatens an "al
most complete monopoly" of transpor
tation in New England. Particularly
the Commission emphasizes its charge
of extravagance In the disposition of
the railroad's funds. ,
"Any betterment of railroad condi
tions in New England," says the de
cision, "must begin with the assurance
that the New Haven management will
act not only prudently, but above all,
within the letter and the spirit of the
law."
General Principles Laid Down.
No order -was made by the Commis
sion, but in its opinion the following
propositions which have National ap
plication to all railroads lie at the
foundation of .adequate railroad regu
lation: "Every interstate .railroad should be
prohibited from expending money or.
incurring liabilities or acquiring prop
erty not in the operation of Its rail
road or in the legitimate Improvement,
extension or development or that rail
road. "No Interstate railroad should be per
mitted to lease or purchase any other
railroad nor to acquire the stocks or
securities of any railroad nor to guar
antee the same directly or Indirectly
without the approval of the Federal
Government.
"No stocks or bonds should be issued
by an Interstate railroad except for the
purposes sanctioned in the two preced
ing paragraphs and none should be Is
sued without the approval of the Fed
eral Government." '
Book. Do jr'ot Show Details.
The transactions of President Mellen
in giving his personal notes to his own
company for stock are discussed at
length by Commissioner Prouty.
On transactions In New Haven stock
bought with such notes, the report
sa,ys there were profits of $102,000. but
the New Haven's books do not show to
what use the money was put. Com
missioner Prouty says:
"His statement was that the amount
had been used in campaign expendi
tures during the Summer and Fall of
1904 by. direction of liis directors anu
that they had subsequently ratified his
act. The special account shows a pay
ment to Mellen of $50,000 in cash, which
he passed over to the Republican Na
tional campaign committee."
Commissioner Prouty does not like
the way transactions between, Mr. Mel
len and the company have been omitted
from the books. "If the president of
this corporation," he says, "expends
money in connection with the numhase
of a lease -he should take a voucher
for the same. If expenditure Is not
such that a. voucher can be taken. It
uugai not to oe made.

VENTURE NOW LOSING ONE
Sale to Stotesburj- for $1,200,000
Declared to Have Included Good
Will and Contracts With
Various Sin
NEW YORK, Juii' The Metropoli
tan Opera-House in injunction pro
ceedings started today asserts that it
Oscar Hammerstein is permitted to
carry out his project of building a
new grand, opera-house In New York
and. producing operas in competition
with the Metropolitan, the "giving of
grand, .opera of the very best order will
become impossible it will be a ruin
ous venture," . and result in "great
damage to the public."
- The suit, begun in the Supreme Court,
seeks to enjoin the impresario and, his
son, Arthur, from violating worded
agreements entered into between the
Hammersteins and Edward T. Stotes-
bury, of Philadelphia, in behalf of the
plaintiff under which the Hammer
steins contracted not to produce grand
opera in New York, Chicago, Phlladel
phla and Boston for 10 years.
Producing; Business Declared Sold.
The agreements signed In April and
June, 1910, were made, the complaint
sets forth, in consideration of the pur
chase by Mr. Stotesbury of the Ham
merstein's "business of producing
grand opera and kindred theatrical
entertainments in this country, includ
lng their entire plant and good will,'
for $1,200,000. With the Philadelphia
Opera-House this included the purchase
of the Hammerstein's right to produce
certain operas in, New York and their
contracts with various opera singers.
it Is alleged.
"There is no city in the world in
which two such grand opera ventures
have been able to maintain them
selves," the complaint reads. "The
production of grand opera of the hlgti
est character and standard is Inher
entjy-not a profitable venture and Only
under the most favorable circumstances
does it result in financial profits."
While the Metropolitan Company dls
claims that it is seeking' financial
profit, declaring that Its sole objects
are "to meet the demands of the mu
sical public and to further the cause
of grand opera," it adds that its op
crating expenses exceed Its Income.
The business became "wholly un
profitable," the complainant says, dur
ing the time previous to the signing of
the agreements with the Hammersteins,
who were producing grand, opera in
New York and Philadelphia.

To Help Nature Shed
a Bad Complexion
(Front The Family Physician.)
Beauty devotees ere enthusiastic
over the beautifying Qualities of mer
collzed wax. Perhaps nothing: discov
ered within recent years accomplishes
eo much, so quickly, without harm
without detaining one indoors, ancj at
such small expense. The principal rea
son for Its wonderful -merit Is that it
works In harmony with physiological
laws, instead of hiding, or curing'
complexion defects, it removes them.
The wax actually takes off the aged,
faded, sallow, freckled or blotchy cuti
cle, gently, gradually, causing no in
convenience. It is Nature's way of re
newing complexions. When the nat
ural process is retarded because of de
ficient circulation or nerve tone, mer
colized wax comes to the rescue and
hastens the skin shedding. The new
complexion which appears is a natural
one, youthful, healthy, exquisitely beau
tiful. If you've never tried mercolized
wax. get an ounce of It at the drug
store, use. at night like cold cream,
washing it off in the morning.
Another, natural beautifying treat
ment for wrinkled skin is ' to bathe
the face in a lotion made by dissolving
an ounce of saxollte in a half pint
witch haxel. This is remarkably and
instantaneously effective. Adv.

WASHINGTON. July 9. Secretary
McAdoo issued a statement today an

It has been asserted by critics of the
bill that the recent decline below par
In the market value of the 2 per cent
bonds was due to the provisions of
the bill limiting the bond-secured cir

outstanding when the bill should be

creasing their investment value.
