FOURTEEN ARRESTED All are Held Under Bail of $60,000 Each, Furnished by Surety Companies. Prominent Men Implicated. The long-expected arrest of those held to be responsible for the frauds committed in the furnishing and dec orating of Pennsylvania’s $13,000,000 capital were made Wednesday at Har risburg, the attorney general causing warrants to be issued for fourteen of the eighteen persons and firms named by the capital investigation commis sion as being involved in the scandal. Those for whom warrants were issued are: Joseph M. Houston, architect, and his active assistant, Stanford B. Lewis, both of Philadelphia. John H. Sanderson, Philadelphia, chief contractor for furnishings. Congressman H. Burd Cassel, Ma rietta, treasurer and executive officer of the Pennsylvania Construction com pany, contractors for steel filling cases. James H. Shumaker, Johnstown, Pa., former superintendent of public grounds and buildings, who receipted for the furnishings. George F. Payne and his partner, Charles G. Wetter, both of Philadel phia, builders of the capital and con tractors for the $303,000 attic. William P. Snyder, Spring City, Pa., former auditor general, who approved the warrants of the contractors. William L. Mathues, Media, Pa., for mer state treasurer, who paid the bills of the contractors. Charles F. Kinsman, Wallis Boileau, John G. Neiderer and George K. Storm, all of Philadelphia, stockhold ers in the Pennsylvania Bronze com pany, organized by Sanderson for the manufacture of the $2,000,000 lighting fixtures. Frank Irvine, auditor in the auditor general’s office, who audited the ac counts of the contractors. Nearly all of the defendants appear ed during the day, waived a hearing and entered bail for their appearance in the Dauphin county court. The principal defendants were held in $60,- 000 bail, which was furnished in ev ery instance by surety companies. All the defendants are charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud the state by making false invoices, which were approved by Houston and Shu maker. Charges bf obtaining money by false pretense were also entered against Sanderson, Congressman Cas sel, Payne and Wetter, it being al leged that they furnished fictitious bills for a greater amount than they were entitled to receive under their contracts. The action taken by the attorney general was the outcome of an alle gation made by State Treasurer Wil liam H. Berry during the campaign of 1905. He startled the state by charg ing that, according to the state treas ury books, the building and furnish ing of the state capitol had cost $13,- 000,000 and not $5,000,000, as had been generally believed, and that $9,000,000 of the money went to furnish the build ing. He charged that $5,000,000 of the $9,000,000 was pure ’’graft.’’ Gov ernor Peunypacker, other state offi cials and the contractors denied the charges, but the agitation for an in vestigation which immediately began continued until the last legislature ap pointed a commission to investigate the whole affair.

SLAYER OF GOEBEL Was Igo Turner, if Woman’s Sworn State ment is True —New Version of Old Case Develops. Turner Igo, of Farmers, Rowan county, Kentucky, is charged with tlie killing of Senator William Goe bel, of Kentucky, in an affidavit by Mrs. Lulu Clark, which was pub lished exclusively by the Richmond, Ind., Evening Item Saturday. In Mrs. Clark’s affidavit, 'which was taken at Indianapolis on April 11, 1907, in the law offices of ex-Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, she says that her maiden name was Lulu Williams and she was born at Roth well, Menifee county, Kentucky, but lived most of her lne and at the time of Goebel’s murder her home was at Mount Sterling, Ky. She is a niece of Judge Frank Day, of Frenchburg, Ky., and also of Jas. Williams, of the same place. She has a cousin named Gertrude King, who lived at Maysville at the time of Qoe bel’s murder. Miss King was at that time keeping company with John San ford of Covington, Ky. Upon the day of Goebel’s murder the two girls went to Frankfort, Ky. They started to enter the state house by the rear entrance and when on the steps a shot was fired. At tne same time they noticed a man stand ing just inside the door whom they recognized as Sanford. In a minute a second man came running out of the building, dressed like a mountain eer, and carrying a rifle. He ran to Sanford and said: “I got the .” That man was recognized by the affiant as her friend, Turner Igo, of Farmers, Rowan county, Kentucky. Both men ran out of the building to a fence, where Sanford gave a pair of shoes which he was carrying to Igo, who exchanged his boots for them. The men then disappeared. The affiant states that Igo told her at Mount Sterling on January 25, 1900, that he was going to kill Goe bel and that she saw him afterwards at Jeffersonville, Ind., and he renqind ed her that he had fulfilled his prom ise. She also says that Sanford had told Gertrude King, a few days prior to Goebel’s murder, that he intended to kill Goebel, saying: “Here is my chance to get revenge. The legislature has met.” The Evening Item also publishes correspondence betw r een Caleb Pow ers and the persons who secured the affidavit and afterwards investigated its allegations for verification, show ing that the expenses for the informa tion gained were paid from the Powers defense fund through John Marshall of the lawi firm of Gibson, Marshall & Gibson of Louisville, Ky. The original correspondence of Powers and the copy of the affidavit are in the possession of The Item. JONES BOYS FOUND GUILTY. Mercy Recommended and Judge Sentenced Them for Ninety-Nine Years. At 8:30 o’clock Saturday morning a verdict was reached in the cases against Albert and Porter Jones at Eatonton, Ga. The jury was out all night and brought in a verdict of guilty with a recommendation for mercy. Judge Lewis passed sentence and gave the boys 99 years’ impris onment. Attorney Cooper made a motion for anew trial, and the judge fixed the date for hearing the motion on the third Monday in October, at Gray's, Jones county. In passing sentence Judge Lewis said that the evidence against Albert was not satisfactory entirely. A new trial will necessitate a change of venue, as the jury box of the coun ty was almost exhausted in making up the Jury. Robert T. Adams, for the murder of whom the Jones boys weer convited, was a well known planter, and a member of a prominent family. FOR MURDER OF TWO BROTHERS Depraved Catholic Priest Must Serve Term.

Nothing could be said to greater praise of a people than that they like sweets. It shows a wholesome, vigor ous, healthful condition —an appetite not jaded from excessive indulgence. The child whose appetite has not be come polluted or calloused by false relishes, smarting sauces and burning drinks loves sweets; so does the girl of bright eyes and untainted youth, as is evidenced by her fondness for ice creams and desserts. The young ath lete among men loves sweets nearly as well as does the child. But the bar room lounger, the “cigarette fiend,” the “dope fiend” and the depraved of all other classes do not like sweets.

In such event there would be required 177 flat cars with a capacity of 33,000 pounds. It would build five first-class battle ships or anew subway for New York City. It would yield a perpetual income of $4,027 a day. It would make 914 tons of silver dol lars, requiring 304 teams to transport it. It would build 2,024 homes at $lO,- 000 each. It is the income for one a year at 4 per cent, on $731,000,000. It is about 2 per cent, of the na tional debt of 1906. It is 35 cents for every man, woman and child in the whole country.

A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to losa his power of endurance. His exper ience with a change in food is inter esting. ‘‘While I was in training on the track athletic team my daily ‘jogs’ became a task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like anew man. My di' gestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy. “I trained for the mile and the half-mile runs (those events which require so much endurance) and then the long dally ‘jogs,’ which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. ‘‘The Grape-Nuts food put me in perfect condition and gave me ml ‘ginger.’ Not only was my physical condition made perfect, and-my weight Increased, but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time formerly required. Now most all of the university men use Grape- Nuts, for they have learned its value, but I think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help someone to learn how the best results can he obtained.” There’s a reason for the effect of Grape-Nuts food on the human body and brain.
