CHICAGO, 8spt 12—Inflate re-
port* of pa!., by managers of branch
house*, extending over a period of three
years and resulting In a misleading an.
nual statement. It Is learned, were re
sponsible for the receivership proceed
ings for A. Booth A Co.
The Chicago banka which were the
principal creditor* of the concern dls
covered the character of these state
ments a few days ago In an audit of
the books, and at once took steps to
protect creditor*. An official of one of
the four Chicago bank* which hold
nearly >500,000 of the Arm’s paper said
tha> the receiver was appointed after
the banks had learned that some per
sons connected with A. Booth A Co.
had Issued misleading statements con
cerning Its volume of business. The
Booth brothers are not believed to have
known anything about these false
statements.
Reoelpte Juggled.
Each manager gets a percentage on
hts personal sales. Some of them, It Is
said. Juggled the receipts In such a
manner that they were represented to
be much larger than they really were,
and the annual report In consequence
was misleading. The fact that the last
statement doe* not account for new
money proceeds of the last statement
9a being Investigated.
Secretary Cochrane has a different ex
planation to make. "The panic of last
fall and vegetarianism to which the
poor people were forced when th
out of employment," he declared, "are
responsible for angst of our troubles.
No Salsa for Pish,
"It Is a well-known fact that the
company supplied two-thirds of the
oysters, fish and all sea food eaten In
this country. The bulk of this trade
Is among poor people. The company's
chief business has been upon Ash that
retails at >, 1A and li cents a pound,
especially In large cities. We depended
mostly upon our fresh water business
—the largest In th* world—In which
the trade cam* from working people—
herring and lake perch and such cheap
varieties. When the working people
were thrown out of employment and
stopped buying Ash, our trade fell off
tremendously. Trade has Just begun
to pick up. and If the bankers had not
taken alarm and had given us a little
more time, we would have come out all
right.”

NEW YORK, Sept. 12—James J. Hill,
chairman of the board of the North
western railroad, who came to town
on Thursday and le going back to Chi
cago Sunday, remarked to hie friends
In TVall-et. concerning political condi
tions In the Northwest.
Mr. Hill said that the farmers In the
Northwest had not paid much attention
to Bryan until the last year or two, but
Just now there Is a strong sentiment
mon consent to O. C. Wiley, of Troy, among the farmer*. He said that the
Demoearlle vote thru the West will be
larger this year than ever before, and
If the Republican campaign managers
do not put In the hardest kind of work
Mr. Taft may be defeated.
He said that In some Western states
Republican politicians seemed to be
suffering from over-confidence. but de
clared that the Democratic leaders are
keenly alive to the possibilities and
may succeed In carrying some of the
states that have heretofore been con
sidered safety Republican, unless the
Taft worker* roll up their sleeves and
get busy. He eeld that If the weather
le bad on election day this year and
the percentage of etay-at-home Re
publicans for that reason or anv other,
the count of the ballote In the West
may bring some surprises.
Mr. Hill was asked today If the
Oriental steamship business Is showing
an Improvement, and he declared em
phatically that It Is falling off rapidly
and Is practically gone now beyond all
hope of recovery. He said that condi
tions were euch that It Is almost use
less for American vessels to make
Aght for the Oriental trade.
For this reason Mr. Hill said that he
did not credit the report that E. H.
Harrlman le considering the purchase
of the Oceanic Steamship line owned by
the Spreckles family. He eatd he be
lieved Mr. Harrlman to be too well
Informed on price trade condition* to
get another eteamshlp line on hie
hands.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12—The
postal authorities of .this city held up
the mails and took from them an In
fernal machine of devilishly Ingenlus
construction and saved the life of Gov
ernor Fort, of New Jersey. A con
spicuous package of peculiar shape at
tracted the attention of the postal
clerks and caused It Anally to be re
fereed to the superintendent. The pos
tal authorities decided Anally to open It.
After the usual precaution* necessary
to the examination of suspected In
fernal machines had been made It was
found that the package was a bomb
that would have exploded and killed the
man who opened It. The bomb was
constructed of nails, bullete and pow
der, with matches so arranged that they
would explode It. But for the vigilance
of the postal authorities a tragedy
might have resulted.
The package was marked personal
and probably would have been handed
to the governor himself.
The attempt to assassinate Governor
Fort Is thought to have grown out of
his persistency In closing saloons on
8unday In Atlantic City and his threats
to employ the state troops to this end If
the loAl authorities did not comply
with his order.
A heavy lose has consequently been
sustained by hotel proprietors and sa
loon keepers as a result of this crusade
and the mailing of the Infernal machine
Is thought to be the result

CHICAGO, 8ept. 12—Expulsion of
fraternity members from the high
schools began yesterday, according to
the edict of President Otto Schneider,
of the board of education.- The reason
given tor the expulsions wae ; the re
fusal of the students to sign pledges
renouncing membership In high school
secret societies
"Signatures to these pledge* will be
Instated on by the principals of every
high school In' the city," said Mr.
Schneider. "If they are not aimed by all
high school pupils next week, whole
sale expulsions will follow."
The news that the suspensions Or ex
pulsions had begun caused a sensation
among high school pupils and teachers.
By many It was considered aa a move
to terrorise the fraternity and sorority
members, who have been planning to
apply for an Injunction to restrain
President Carter and - Superintendent
Schneider from suspending or expelling
them. .
Donald Fraser
School for Boys
A STRONG INDORSEMENT.
Hon. Charles Murphy Candler, of DeKalb, says: “I have known the
Donald Fraser School, its Principal and its Faculties for sixteen years,
and have been a regular patron for twelve years. It has consistently
done, and is doing, good work for the young men of the state, and the
training it has given its boys, mental, moral and physical, has always
been careful and thorough/*
Another Indorsement.—General Clifford L. Anderson says: “It
gives me great pleasure to commend Donald Fraser School, which for
excellent moral tone, as well as general proficiency, I believe, is not ex
celled by any preparatory school in the state.”
A Very Strong Indorsement.—President Matheson, of Georgia
Tech, says: “It gives me pleasure to state that the Donald Fraser
School for Boys has been uniformly successful in preparingstudents
for admission to the Freshman Class of the Georgia School of Technolo-
School as a high-grade preparatory Institution.”
WHAT DONALD FRASER SCHOOL STANDS FOR:
1. A healthy physical development.
2. A military discipline that develops manliness and self-reliance in
boys.
3. A limited number of students—60 this year—where every boy
personal, individual attention.
1. An ideal home-like life, where your boy’s character is developed.
5. A high standard of work. Preparation for Georgia Tech and An
napolis a specialty.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
Whet’s the Uee When There’s An Eeey
Way Out
Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent "American Dis
ease”—nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble;
’Five years ego I was a great coffee
drinker and from It* use I became so
nervous I could scarcely sleep at.all
nights. My condition grew wore* and
worse until Anally the physician I con
sulted declared my troubles were alt
due to coffee.
'But being so wedded to the beverage
1 did not see how I could do without It,
especially at breakfast, aa that meal
seemed wholly Incomplete without cof
fee.
"On a visit some friends deprived me
nf coffee to prove that It wee harmful.
At the end of about eight days I wee
less nervous, but the craving for coffee
»•* Intense, so I went back to the old
habit as soon as I got home and the
old sleepless nights came near making
a wreck of me.
“I heard of Postum and decided to
try It. I did not like It at first
cause, as I afterward* discovered. It
wee not made properly. I found, how
ever. that when made after directions
on the package. It wee delirious.
"It had a soothing effect oh my nerves
and none of the bad effecta that coffee
had. so I bade farewell to coffee and
have used only Postum since. The moat
wonderful account of the benefit to be
derived from Postum could not exceed
my own experience." "There’* a Rea

PARI8, 8ept 12,—The undertakers of
Paris are on the verge of striking, not
because they want more money or
shorter hours, but because they are
dissatisfied with the uniform which
they are required to wear-and have
worn for a centuryyor more. At a meet
ing the other night their union decided
that "a more graceful costume” was
highly desirable. The uniform at pres,
ent consist* of black evening dress of
cloth guaranteed to stand wear nnd
tear, and correspondingly stiff and
thick: black boots, white shirt, black
tie and a shining black stovepipe hat,
which can be eat upon without feeling
It.
At a funeral the headman who leads
now wears a red and blue sash over
hts shirt front as a visible proof that
undertaking Is a municipal service,
these being the colors of the city of
Paris. The sash le a comparatively
new Idea and to seems to have bred
envy In the breasts of those of the
rank and file, who are now appealing
for something more becoming than
their present attire. No actual design
for a gayer garb has been proposed by
the union, but some suggestions have
been made.
For Instance, a special light uniform
for summer funerals Is thought of.
Black evening drees Is considered III
suited to the summer sun, and there Is
no hotter headgear than the shining
stovepipe. Black or even gray alpaca
hae been suggested or silk of some
pleasant hue. both neat and not
gaudy, for more expensive ceremonies.
With It a straw hat with a black rib
bon or a panama with kull and cross
hones and fancy vests In gray or black
and white stripes would go well. Ii
short, the Idea of the undertakers’ un
Ion Is to liven up funerals while re
malnlng within the bounds of good
taste.
