WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 29.—Rep resentative Lever, of South Carolina, stirred up a hornet’s nest in the house wher ho offered to the agricultural ap propriation bill an amendment appro priating $3,000,000 for the purchase of the Appalachian and White mountain forest reserves. He said twelve states were Interested In the movement and many governors had personally solici ted the speaker of the house to permit the bill to come before the body on its merits. But on account of some mys terious influences, he said, the speaker was continuing to hold the bill up and he wanted the country to know the facts about the measure. Mr. Tawney objected to the personal attack on the speaker, and said h#*’ would object to further consideration. "Oh, it is not a personal attack on the speaker.” replied Mr. Lever. ‘Tts an outspoken statement as to whore the objection to the bill is. Personally I have profound regard for the speak er, but he and some of his henchmen arc blocking the consideration of this bill and by the gods E propose that the people shall know it.” Mr. Tawney replied that he was not questioning the motive? of the gentleman from South Carolina, but he was questioning the language used. Mr. Lever tried to make it appear that the agricultural commission was unanimously in favor of the bill, but Mr. Haugen, of Iowa, with considerable warmth replied that ho had not voted in favor of the measure and he gave notice that he would vote against it if the bill should ever get before the house. "You vote against four-fifths of the good propositions that come before this house." hotly replied Mr. Lever. Mr. Wadsworth made a point of or der against the amendment, which was sustained, but not until Mr. Lever had been heard. The agricultural appropriation bill occupied the house most of the day and as usual when the amendment striking out the free distribution of seeds was readied, the members from the farm ing districts out-voted those from the cities, by a vote of 136 to S5 and re stored the paragraph as has been the law for a number of years. The resolutions of the commission of agriculture to increase the salaries of the chief forester. Gifford Pinchot, and the chief of the bureau of chemistry. Dr. If. W. Wilev. from $3,560 to $4,500 went out on points or order. An important amendment was adopt ed that no part of the money to be ap propriated for expenses in the enforce ment of the national pure food law, should be paid to any state, city or district official, the amendment being based on tlie theory that the states should execute their own pure food laws and thp government to do the same. The house today passed the senate hill increasing the board of customs appraisers in New York from ten to twelve and also passed the senate bill making provision for converying a strip of ground in St. Augustine, Fla., known as ’the lines” for school pur poses. Railroads Lost About $20,000 The second day's session of the in vestigation being conducted by Inter state Commerce Commissioners Clem ents and Harlan for the purpose of de termining whether or not the transpor tation lines have been guilty of dis criminating against peach shipments to Eastern markets, representing the Georgia fruit interests, was resumed terday morning in the United States 'BRISTOL. Va., Jan. 29.—.it camp No. 4, of the S. Walton Contracting Company, In the South and Western railway near Moccasin Gap, a few mile? west of Bristol, four Italians, whose names are unobtainable were killed at an early hour this morning by a delayed blast. The force was work ing in a cut on the South and West ern ' right of way and had prepared three blasts in a massive rock. The fuses were lighted and the workmen retired to a safe distance until the ex plosion came. The men then returned to work when one of the charges that had failed to axplode went off. killing four Italians and injuring several oth ers. The bodies of the victims were terribly mangled. The remains of the men will be burled near the scene of ! the accident tomorrow. The Walton i Contracting Company sent to Bristol j this afternoon for a Catholic priest to conduct the services.

Waxelbaum, the inspiration of the investigation, and who has/been so ably prosecuting his claims through out. questioned Mr. Green as to why the West received a smaller 'rate for shipments to the East than the South. Th.- reply was competition and labor conditions were practically to blame for the difference. Roads Lost Money. When asked if the handling of peaches had proven profitable to the transportation lines, Mr. Green replied thal with the exception of 1904. the roads had been disappointed »wUh the results for the past several years. He praised the peach industry, but stated that the roads would have been better off without it during the past several years. On account of the enormous ex pense incurred in operating the cars the losses for last year amounted to $20,000. to the best of liis knowledge, principally caused by delays, lays. Upon being requested Mr. Green then read the comparative freight rates from Georgia, Texas and California on ship ments to. New York. -By Mr. Green’?; figures it was shown that Georgia pays I ft.2 for 100 pounds per hundred miles to tween tho time the stream leaves the north coast of South America until it. enters the Atlantic. A man embodying the changes will be Issued next month. BEVERIDGE STATEMENT IS INCORRECT, SAYS WILKINSON. ATLANTA. Ga.. Jan. 29.—In dis patches'named from Washington pub lished today Senator Beverage, of In- , diana, is reported to have said in a ! aaeech made in the senate yesterday that the Georgia Child Labor bill was : a farce, and a "dead letter’ among oth- • or things on this line Senator Beve- : ridge declared t that since this law went ■into effect, on .January 1, forbidding 1 children between 10 and 12 years of age being employed in mills, unless they were orphans or children of in digent parents, more than 3,000 ap plications for, permission to work children in tbe*TniIIs of Fulton county : had been received, by Ordinary John R. Wilkinson, of Fulton county. When Judge Wilkinson’s attention was called to the matter today, he laughed and stated that the senator had his figures far too hfgh. that so far application had been made to al low only ten children to go to work in tile cotton factories of this county. He said he had no ide,» where tho Sen ator got his information from. New York; Texas pays G.8 cents for-, 100 pounds per hundred; miles no Newi QippERETic^T^i? 4-7 ; York, and California has a rate of cents for the same weight and distance. Following Mr. Green the stand was taken by the following railroad and refrigerator car lin? men in the order name* R. A. Brand, traffic manager of the Atlantic Coast Line; F. W. Ellis, vice-president and general manager Armour car lines; J. M. Fleming, gen eral southeastern agent, Georgia Rail road, and W. A. Win burn, vice-presi dent and traffic manager Central of Georgia Railroad. The general trend of the testimony of the railroad men was to the effect that the present rates are not exorbi tant, and defended their interests by stating that the rates were justified on account of the high cost of special service, extra trouble of having cars iced and reiced, carrying of ice with out compensation, excessive weight of refrigerator equipment, and that a large percentage of the cars are inva riably returned to the territory un loaded. The refrigerator men justified their charges on the grounds of heavy losses they claim to have sustained in the past by inabilities to furnish equip ment when wanted and uncertainties i generally of the business. N. &. W. 1 WERE NOT ADJUSTED ROANOKE, Va., Jan. 29.—President L. E. Johnson and other officials of the Norfolk and Western Railway returned here today from Columbus, Ohio, where they met the heads of the brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Locomo tive Firemen with a view to settling difficulties existing between the Nor folk and Western and the enginemen and firemen. It was said today that the differences have not been adjusted. It is learned that one of the chi@f contentions of the men is for an eight-hour day. ATARRH of the respiratory’ or- | gaps is a common ailment in ! Canada for at least two-thirds of the . year. f This condition is no doubt caused by j the long, severe winters experienced in j this part of the continent. Therefore, when Peruna was discov- j ered by Canadian people to be a relia- ; ble remedy for these catarrhal dls- | eases, it at once became a popular medicine, not only among Individuals and in families, but in the great hos- • pitals, where it was used as a preven tive and- relief in hundreds of cases. | These institutions do not hesitate to give their endorsement of the remedy which has been so helpful in the treat ment of their poor and sick. Among these institutions is that of the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave the following endorsement: The Peruna Company, Columbus, Ohio, Having used Peruna for the past few months, for our sick and poor, we are happy to say that it has given us great satisfaction. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd, August 20, 1S03. Montreal. After a continued use of the remedy, this institution has found no reason to change its good opinion of the remedy and expresses its satisfaction in the following terms: experiencing much fatigue. Now I can walk a mile easily. “Through these three cases we desire to make known to the public the ef ficiency of your remedy.” Hospital St. John, of St. Johns. Province of Quebec. A later letter received from the same Institution reads as follows; “Three weeks ago I wrote to tell you how satisfactory we found Parana. recommend it highly for colds, coughs,^ catarrh and neuralgia. "I have used It myself as a tonic with the be* results, taken as directed, ljalf a teaspoonful every half hour.” Mrs. Etta Booker, Dundurif, Sask., N. W.

When catarrh once fastens itself upon the system it becomes an obsti nate disease to eradicate. A systematic remedy—one that reaches every internal organ of the body—is an absolute necessity. Peruna is just such a remedy. It searches out the cause of the disease, healing and strengthening the mucous membranes, and thus giving Nature an opportunity to perform her part of the restorative process. One of the’ many hospitals which ■have found Peruna of value in treating old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital St. John, who write, as follows; Peruna caused to disappear. “As to myself, two bottles have con vinced me that Peruna is magnificent as a tonic. “Before the treatment I could not walk for a quarter of an hour without ! Of course, it is only reasonable suppose that a great deal less medicine will be necessary to cure a slight at tack of catarrh than would be required to relieve the ailment after it had been allowed to become chronic.

REST ON TRIAL FOR KILLING WOMAN NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Jan. 29.—The trial of Dr. Herman Fiest. charged with the peaches upon which he kept a record of the quantity of ice used in shipping from Fort Valley and Marshallville to New York city. Mr. Smith showed an actual average ice consumption per car of ten-ton 39S pounds, against twelve- tons claimed by the refrigerator men to have been used in shipments to the East. Mr. Waxelbaum took the floor and tried to have the different railroad men verify the fact that apples fre quently come Into this territory under refrigeration. Also that bananas are frequently refrigerated as well. The railroad men failed to verify Mr. Wnx- elbaum’s statement, and he then intro duced bills and bills of lading showing that npples had been refrigerated and that charge? were assessed upon the actual quantity of ice used only. Mr. Waxelbaum also exhibited freight bills showing bananas to have been refrig erated and charges had been assessed for Ice used only. Mr. Waxelbaum, turning to Mr. Win- burn. said: "Mr. Winburn. will you verify that such existed?” "Those cars apparently did,” re sponded Mr. Winburn. At the conclusion of this the com- , mission took a recess until 9 o’clock this morning, when it Is stated Mr. Waxelbaum will introduce additional j evidence.

The talesnnni thought he could, but the defendant's attorneys were not satisfied. J. Sfmondinger had a letter as an ex cuse. William H. Moeller, a decorator und painter, was ’examined by ’ John B.

Thaw came today when Justice Fitzgerald, on the motion of the District Attorney and with the consent of the attorneys for the man accused of the murder of Stanford White,' announced that two of the jurors selected in the early days of the proceedings would bo excused from further service. "Without any reflection on the jury men whatsoever.” said the presiding judge, "jurors Nos. 4 and 6 will be ex cused." The men in question are Arthur S. Campbell, a superintendent of tele phone construction, and Harold R. Falre. a printer and publisher of a pamphlet circulated in Wall street. The court room was crowded for the open ing of the afternoon session when the announcement was made. “By agreement,” said District Attor ney Jerome, "the reasons for this ac tion will not be made public, but they are of a business nature.
