OIL LETTERS
KILLED
POLITICALLY
Exposes by William Randolph
Hearst Responsible for Down
fall, Declares Former Senator
Before Senate Lobby Inquiry.
Official of National Manufactur
ers’ Association Writes Demo
cratic Simplicity Will Mean
Union Label on U.S. Stationery.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Former
Senator Foraker admitted to the
Senate Lobby Committee to-day pub
lication by William Randolph Hearst
of the famous Standard Oil letters
killed Foraker’s chances for re-ele?-
tion to the Senate in 1908.
After identifying a letter received
from Martin M. Mitchell, the con
fessed ex-lobbyist, making a report
of political activities in Ohio in For
aker’s behalf, the former Senator
•aid:
“It was the morning of the day Mr.
Hearst's disclosure was made public.
An attack had been made on me oy
Mr. Hearst which destroyed my
chances of election, saying I had
acted as counsel for the Standard Oil
Company. This had created a senti
ment in our State very prejudicial to
me. I continued as a candidate in the
campaign only because to retire from
it after I had become a candidate
would look like an admission that
there was some justification for the
attack, whereas - there wa,i not any.”
Senator Foraker said Muhall, whom
he had known thirty years, greatly
overestimated his own importance.
No A’" 4 i *om N. A. M.
Foraker said he had never received
aid from the National Association f
Manufacturers and while he received
a fee of $500 for the part he played
in the sale of the Union Pacific Rail
road in 1896, he was not in the em
ploy of either David Lamar or Ed
ward Lauterbaoh in an injunction
case against t Union Pacific in
1903.
The House Investigating Commit
tee opened its prob^ with introduction
of correspondence'showing the activi
ties of the Nation' 1 .! Association of
Manufacturers in fighting labor legis
lation in Congress and various at
tempts to have “conservative” men
named as members of House commit-
‘ tees.
Discussing the recent sundry civil
bill, with its provision prohibiting the
expenditure of certain funds for the
prosecution of farmers and labor
unions under the Sherman law, James
A. Emery, counsel of the N. A. M.,
wrote to President John Kirby, Jr.,
of the association, on March 7, 1913,
after President Taft had vetoed the
bill:
*‘I want to emphasize as hard as I
can the. importance of lining up for
a tremendous demonstration when
this bill reaches President Wilson, as
it undoubtedly will, with the same
provision ii- it. You will then have
an eArly opportunity to decide wheth
er the glittering Democratic motto,
‘Equal right for all and special
privilege for none,’ means anything
or whether the-Administration has
surrendered completely or will merely
turn over the Department of Labor.
Objection to Secretary Wilson.
“I note, by the way, your reference
to a letter from C. W. Post on the
question o? a protest over the ap
pointment of Wilson (Syretary of
Labor). A protest on efii9 subject
is a mere waste of breath, and on
the whole I am inclined to think
the whole purpose of this depart
ment will be shtfwn up quicker with
the unions in control of it than in
any other way. Gompers will run it
characteristically with a high hand,
and if the whole thing does not smeil
to Heaven within a year I shall be
very much astonished.
“By that time Democrats simplic
ity will probably mean a union label
on the White House stationery and
the President conferring with the
Waiters' Union over the appointment
of his steward. At present we have
nothing more startling in Jeffersonian
simplicity than the news Mrs. Bry in
is making a new suit for the Secre
tary of State, and cakes and ginger
ale will be served at the dinner tor
the British Ambassador. Toothoicks
will, of course, be an after dinner
course at all Cabinet receptions, and
the demand for dress suits will be
confined to waiters in the hotels.”
In this same letter Emery advised
Kirby, “if you have any idea '“’aft
would have vetoed this bill of his own
motion, get over It. A list of public
men who had ‘pic’ in this $113,000,000
appropriation bill included many
prominent men in both Houses.”

Finds Honeymoon

Society Girl and New Husband Are
Now on Their Way
to Tahiti.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 9.—Miss Luella
Hayne, a pretty Chicago girl, is now, as
the bride of Dr. Frank Vance, of Enid,
Okie.., on her way to spend her honey
moon in Tahiti. Miss Hayne bad chosen
the spot for the honeymoon before she
found the man.
Miss Hayne went through a finishing
school which prepared her for all the
conventionalities of a reigning position
in the smart set. but after a brief whirl
this life proved tiresome and she started
out on the road that leads “back to na
ture.”
The romance was begun at a house
party in New York city given by Miss
Hayne’s sister.
In talking about Tahiti before she
sailed she said
“The people who are most successful
In our centers of civilization are most
fettered by it. The reason why peo
ple plunge so madly into the economic
struggle is largely that they may free
ihemselves from its—conditions. Why
should not a civilized man be as happy
as a native of Tahiti? We are going to
find out.”

Portland People Believe She Has Settled in
Quiet Town to Start Divorce Suit.
PORTLAND, ME., Aug 9.—From
the gay life of a popular society
woman, a leader in the smartest af
fairs of New York, Newport and Bar
Harbor to pursue an existence in a
quiet city, is a change just made by
the dashing Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay,
the former Kitty Duer.
"Why do you suppose she’s here?"
all Portland is asking.
What can she do with herself all
day long, for she is never seen out,
save to take a drive, and then alwa.vs
wearing a Is she
here to se^ire a divorce and will she
live tfiat dreary life for one whole
year—that’s how the gossip runs.
Perhapa she’s writing another book.
She did write one once, “The Crystal
Ball.” But while the world conjec
tures, Mrs. Mackay denies herself to
all.
Divorce is without doubt her idea
in burying herself here, where she has
been ever since her millionaire hus
band sailed for Europe with their
three children.
Mrs Mackay is occupying the home
of Adam P. Leighton on Western
Promenade, a cottage in comparison
with the mansions’ she has been used
to occupying.
It was on June 25 that Mr. Mackay
sailed for Europe on the Imperator.

New Jersey, where they had been in
his control for several days. He went
abroad with never a word to the wife
and mother.
So mysterious was the departure
that it attracted wide attention. They
boarded the ship at night: a detec
tive squad was serving to protect the
children from any attempt to prevent
tho’r departure and the father, regis
tered under an assumed name. The
children, who are no doubt longing
for their mother as she is longing for
them, are still abroad and it is said
they will be there for months

Pioneer Indiana Man Has Never

Barber Soap.
CONNERSVILLE, IND., Aug. 9.—
Zaccheus Adams, Jackson Township,
Fayette County, has snaved himself
twice a week for 54 years, but never
owned a shaving mug. a razor, a strop
or a hone. It is Mr. Adams’ pride that
he keeps his razor, an old Wade &
Butcher cleaver, twice as big as a com
mon razor, in the finest trim with the
least trouble of any man in the county.
He wears old style, high-toped boots
and still has one pair which he bought
26 years ago. Wishing to shave, Mr.
Adams first puts on these boots. He
then smacks the razor blade back and
forth along the leather leg of the left
one for a minute or two. His next
operation is to moisten his face with
rainwater—no perfumed soafl for him —
and then he just shaves.

Flying Rollers Expect It Soon
Picturesque Location Will Add to
Grandeur of Palaces of Mam
moth Panama Exhibition.
So Members of This Queer Cult
Await With Uncut Hair and
Much Footwashing.
By HAMILTON WRIGHT.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9—The
palaces of the Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition have been plan
ned upon a massive scale to conform
with their impressive natural sur
roundings. The site of the exposition
at Harbor View lies within the city
limits as a crescent upon the shores
of San Francisco Bay, just inside the
Golden Gate.
No more picturesque location, nor
one more appropriate to the celebra
tion of a great maritime event could
be imagined. On the south, east and
west the grounds are encircled by
towering hills of varying contours
rising successively from 250 to 900
feet above the sea level. Upon the
north the site opens out upon the
harbor of San Francisco.
Site Natural Amphitheater.
The central portion of the site lies
slightly above the sea and is encir
cled on three sides by gently sloping
ground; within a short distance from
tlie boundaries of the site these slopes
change to steep hillsides and thus the
site becomes the floor of a huge am
phitheater from whose sides the ex
position will be seen stretched out
below. To the east and south the
residence section encircles the ex
position grounds, and to the west and
southwest the site embraced by the
wooded slopes of the Presidio mili
tary reservation, dark with cypress
and eucalyptus and interspersed with
occasional vistas of green valleys.
The exposition buildings, built upon
an axis east and west, will face the
bay upon the north; they will paral
lel the stream of the great incoming
traffic of the world through the west
ern gate of the United States. Ships
entering the harbor will pass before
the exposition grounds.
The harbor itself will he a part of
the great theater upon which will be
staged the world’s jubilee and the
Golden Gate will be the entrance to
the theater.
A marvelous panorama will be af
forded visitors on ships coming
through the Golden Gate. As one
looks from the harbor he will see
there main groups of exposition
buildings. There will be the great 1
central group comprising the four
teen exposition palaces to be devoted
to general exhibits; there will be 'the
group upon the left hand or east end
devoted to amusement concessions
and covering sixty-five acres; this
will be the “midway." The right-
hand group upon the Presidio Mili
tary reservation and nearest the Gold
en Gate will be devoted to the pa
vilions of the Slates and foreign na
tions.
Tropical Boulevard Feature.
The main group of buildings will
lie between a tropical garden or
boulevard running east and west
along the fringe of bills nearest the
city upon the south, and the espla
nade along the shores of San Fran
cisco Bay upon the north.
The tropical boulevard, to be known
as the “Alameda,” will be 1,800 feet
in length and 300 feet wide; it will
be glowing with fountains, lagoons,
statuary peristyles and arcades and,
secluded from the winds of the bay.
it will be transplanted with a profu
sion of semi-tropical trees, plants and
flowers, including the orange, ba
nana, olive, myrtle gnd every variety
of palm. The east end of the Ala
meda will open out with a plaza upon
Van Ness Avenue, one of the princi
pal boulevards of San Francisco. The
west end upon the Presidio will be
surmounted by a commemorative
arch of triumph.
The prevailing color tone of the ex
position will be an ochre, a tawny
huff, several shades removed from
white, but in the distance giving the
effect of white, but will not he glar
ing under the brilliant sunlight of
California. In the courts there will
be a marvelous blending of colors;
Pompeiian red, strong Italian blues,
vermilion and orange will predomi
nate'. The court system Is unique in j
that it will permit each architect, ar
tist or sculptor to present some dis
tinct conception without clashing
with the exposition architecture and I
coloring in its entirety.
BACHELOR, 107 YEARS OLD,
GIVES SINGLE LIFE CREDIT
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.—Daniel
Turner, a veteran of the Civil War.
residing at Santa Monica, who cele
brated his one hundred and seventh
birthday to-day, thanks his judgment
in remaining single for his long life
and apparent good health at this ad
vanced age.
“My life was never blighted by
worry or sickness because I never
married,” said “Uncle" Dan. “Mar
ried men die younger than bachelors.
Sometimes death is a welcome relief
to the man who gets a modern wife.”
BOSTON, Aug. 9.—“Now, brethren,
watch night and day. for ye know not
j when the end of the world draws nigh.
It may be tomorrow; at least it will
come before the year 1920. It is prob
ably much nearer than that.” says
Brother Luoien I. IMngree. With long
flowing beard that has never been
profaned by scissors and with silken
locks which also have never been
clipped, this resident of Stoneham
thus warns all those who would be
ready when the First Resurrection
occurs. “It Is coming soon—very
soon—very soon,” he asserts. Brother
Pingree and his band of adherents i-
are sure of it. The end of the world
is close at hand, they all say.
For this reason the Flying Rollers
are launcing a great religious cru
sade which they hope will awaken
men and women to a knowledge of
their evil ways and will prepare them
for the near-at-hand millennium.
Keep on Living.
If you are one of the elect and alive
when this auspicious day comes Mr.
Pingree says that you will never die.
Your body will take on eternal life
and though you will be otherwise pos
sessed of man’s normal anatomy and
will go right on through million of
years living in the mortal mold.
Brother Pingree, who is agent and
teacher of the Flying Roller faith in
this vicinity, lives at No. 1 Forres:
street, Stoneham. His church until
recently has b£en at No. 117 Hancock
street, Evereti. Now the Flying Rol
lers are to pitch their tent in Malden
and launch a propaganda which aim*
to halt the world in its mad round
of pleasure, barber shops and picture
galleries. *
It is not such a hardship for the
women to belong to the Flying Rollers
church, but the men have troubles of
their own Their discipline forbids
anyone to have his hair cut or to en
joy the pleasure of lying back in a
tonsorial chair while the artist with
the razor does the rest.
Males Never Cuf Hair.
The male brethren never have the
corners of their hair or of their flow
ing beards rounded. “Thou shalt no:,”
says the church discipline. Then there
is the ceremony of the washing if
feet, which takes place on certain o'-
casions, when clderr, and elderesses
lave each other’s pedal extremities
and thus conform to other Biblicii
injunctions. The Flying Roll is u
hook written by the great Rolle r
prophet, Jezreel mentioned in the
Scriptures as “to come on earth.” He
came and was here In 1875, wrote the
Roll and died about twenty years ago.
Here Are the Tenets
of the Flying Rollers
Thou shalt not shave.
Thou shalt not cut thy hair.
Thou shalt not have thy picture
taken.
Be faithful and thou shalt join
the 144,000 true believers who will
live forever.
Remember that the millenium
will be here—probably in a year
or so.
Thou shalt not tattoo thy arms.
The prophet is James J. Jezreel.
Follow his teachings.
Feet washing among the breth
ren and sisters is practiced faith
fully as the Bible and extracts
from the “Flying Roll dictate.
Prepare for the first resurrection
which is comina «con.
Since then the Flying Rollers have
read his text with scrupulous care
and followed closely in his teaching?.
The Flying Rollers believe In the
law and gospel. That is, they fol
low literally the teachings of the Bi
ble. A man who Is faithful to the end
will live forever. The Bible says that
and the Rollers take R literally.
144.000 in the Elect.
Of all the people alive, 144,000
(mentioned in Revelations, Chapter
14) shall be the elect who are to II
during the thousand years when
Christ is again to be on earth (during
the First Resurrection). Then this
Chosen 144,000 shall enjoy Heaven
still with their earthly bodies while
the rest of humanity that was, shall
Vninister to them as “ministering spir
its.”
“The world of wickedness will soon
cease. A new world will appear is
soon as Christ comes, which will ba
very soon (I can not give the exact
date, but i* will :>«• before 1920, there
is no doubt about that),” says Pas
tor Pingree. “In that wftrld there
will be no longer this struggle for
life. Wonderful fruits and flowers
wil] grow rveryTvhei along the road
sides-—fruits and flowers more won
derful than we get from hothouses
now. Then the earth will be Heaven
for a thousand years.
“We believe that those who are
faithful to the teachings of our relig
ion will share that thousand years
with Christ, wearing their mortal
bodies, then clothed in immortality.
“It is no hardship not to cut your
hair or trim your beard,” says Mr.
Pingree. “We tie it up and tuck it n,
and by not cuttiri^ it or rounding th >
corners in any way, we are obeying
the letter of divine w.”
12 PRIZE DOGS
Private Room, Electric Fans,

I3ROKTON, MASS., Aug. 9 —
Twelve Pomeranians—each with a
whole room to himself, and housed
In a house which they have all to

for dog luxury, Brockton folks be
lieve. Besides a house of their own,
the dogs have:
A valet, electric fan, individual
beds, a bath twice a day, a back yard
to play in, leather chairs and soft
rugs (the latter to try their teeth on).
Mrs. E. V. Graves, a leading busi
ness woman, owns the dogs. She is
successful as the head of a factory
here. Brockton folks say she Is more
attentive to the dogs than Mrs Wil
liam Carter, of New port, who got four
doctors when her Pomeranian was
nervous.
During the hot days the valet, Mr.
Beals, fans the little fellows with a
specially made $18 electric fan and
each dog is given a cold bath at fre
quent Intervals,
“They are all as jealous as can be,”
says Mrs. Graves. “If you make more
of one than another there is a terri
ble howl and often a fight. They are
friendly to children as a general rule.
The dogs are worth anywhere from
$150 to $1,000 each, but I do not care
to sell them. They are a great com
fort to me.”
