Stanley rats T.R.WEMS > Chairman of Steel Probers Tells How Aid Was Given This Trust. WASHINGTON. Aug 15.—Theodore Roosevelt, George W. Perkins of Har vester trust fame and the Federal bu reau of corporations were jointly as sailed by Chairman Stanley, of the steel investigating committee, in the house for aiding in the protection of the United States Steel Corporation and accepting any means to prevent the power of this monopoly from being lessened. “The government by commissions as conducted by the bureau of corpora tions,” said Mr. Stanley, "is more than pleasing to the Interests and they are today more enthusiastic than ever in their advocacy of an extension of the same. For several years the chief in termediary between big business and those intrusted by the government with the duty of investigating has been a gentleman by the name of George W. Perkins. To pry into the secrets of the bureau and to keep the interests most t concerned advised as to the progress of the assumably secret inspection, was the task for which Mr. Perkins showed his peculiar fitness.” « Describing the manner in which a $50,000 donation was given Mr. Roose velt by George W. Perkins. Mr. Stanley said: “Pocketed Insurance Money.” “Mr. Perkins gave his personal check to Mr. Bliss and was reimbursed by a check of the New York Life Insurance Company, payable to J. P. Morgan & Co. The proceeds of this check were * traced to the pocketbook of Mr. Per kins and for this eminent service he was arrested under a warrant charg ing him with grand larceny. As Chief Justice Cullen, who tried the case, says, Perkins knew that this money was drawn from a life Insurance policy without the policy holder’s consent. “This man (Perkins! escaped the prison cell by the skin of his teeth for having picked the pocket of a shroud for the use and benefit of the Republi can party.” Referring to the assimilation of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company dur- * ing Roosevelt’s administration, the speaker continued: “The severest critic of Roosevelt can scarcely conceive that he would in twenty minutes have commissioned the Steel Corporation to squash its last competitor. Had he possessed one tenth of the information which the ’a commissioner of corporations after ward admitted having, he probably never would been guilty of this act.” AT THE THEATERS FORSYTH BILL PLEASES BIG AUDIENCES DAILY . Vaudeville at the Forsyth this week is up to the standard.

The seven acts represent the best class of vaudeville that is possible right now to secure. There are acts that , command the highest salaries paid to theatrical people, and that blend per fectly. making an entertainment that is worth time and money. Gertrude Vanderbilt, with the help of George Moore, has scored the biggest hit any headline feature has ever reg istered at the busy theater. The pretty singing and dancing comedienne has eclipsed all the success that has been registered by comediennes at the For syth, and is about the most popular lit tle entertainer now known to Atlanta . theatergoers. Sydney Drew and Company, present ing Jack Futrelle’s playlet, “The Model Young Man,” also score well and win curtain calls, and the Three Lyres, clever musicians and comedians, win hearty favor. Willie Weston, the entertainer direct \ from the New York Winter Garden, and other splendid acts make the bill all that the advance notices and critics claim for it. Popular vaudeville is to be introduced at. the Forsyth next week. There-will be five Keith acts at. every perform ., ante, helped along with a selection of splendid motion pictures. There will be daily matinees and two performances each night. This policy has been in dorsed by the best class of people in Richmond. Norfolk.

Hart, superintendent of mails, is back from his vacation.

Cu - tis, an Oregon lumber dealer, and sev eral of Curtis’ friends. Alder lost con siderable money and later he was re ported to have said that Curtis, who had been the heaviest winner, was “not on the square” as a poker player. Knocked Accuser Down.

THE POWER ToPullThings YOUR Way rests in the force and attraction of your own personality. It depends upon Brain and Nerve strength, built and sustained by true food ele ments Nature provides for making vigor of mind. Physiologists know that the gray matter which composes nerves and brain is made up almost wholly of water, albumen and a vital tissue salt, known as Phosphate of Potash. Every-day food contains water and albumen in quantity to meet every need, but Phosphate of Potash, found plentifully in the hard outer shell of wheat and barley, is lacking in white bread, for white bread is made of white flour—the inside of the grain which is deficient in Phosphate of Potash. Grape-Nuts FOOD builds brain as well as body, for it supplies valuable Phosphate of Potash--the element necessary to brain nourishment and brain activity. Grape-Nuts is processed from selected parts of wheat and barley, twice baked to make an appetizing dish for breakfast, lunch or supper.

The screams of women passengers brought what is known on the Olympic as the "strong arm squad” of stewards, whose duty it is to interfere in such impromptu encounters.

Before they were over come by force of numbers several natty uniforms had been badly torn and crumpled. SI,OOO to Prove Honesty. When he had been released on prom ise that he would be good Curtis drew a roll of bills from his pocket and threw it on the floor the saloon. “There is one thousand dollars in that pile, and I'll bet that no one can prove that I have ever gambled dis honestly,” he said dramatically. No one took the bet. Alder afterward ad mitted that he had no proof of his charge that Curtis had cheated. Marc Klaw, who returned on the Olympic, said the fight between Alder and Curtis was a hot one “from a dra matic viewpoint, gentlemen.” $1.25 FOR HAIRCUT AND SHAVE TOO STEEP; SUES PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.—F.
