'Washington, June 11. Represcntn
Uve Mnrtln of Colorado Introduced a
resolution to Investigate the sale of
one of the Philippine friar estates to
Frank W. Carpenter, the executive1
secrctnry of the Philippine govern
ment, and the lease of 3,000 acres of
public domain to E. L. Worcester, who
is the nephew of the Philippine secre

The sale and lease wore mnde by thi
department of public lands and up

I Mr. Martin charges In his resolutloti
that these transaction "are so citini
nally corrupt and Immoral as to con
stitute mnlft';isiii:ce in ullleu upon the
part of the utllit:ils Involved."
Mr. Martin said: "The sale of the
Tala friar estate to the executive sec
retary of the Philippines government
is the caishoaf of olllclnl turpitude
down to date.
"In the report Just received the sale
of the Tala estate to Carpenter Is spo
ken of as a lease, the lessee binding
himself to rent nil the vacant lnnd on
tho Tnla estate and all lands now oc
cupied which may become vacant. The
fact Is, as shown by another report In
my possession, that this was a progres

aro dispossessed. They will go as fast
as he wants to take It over. Further-

blocks of wood have holes bored
through them and then slipped over

more, until such time as the flnnl cn
tlflcate of sale Is executed Carpentei
pays only 0 cents per acre per aiinun
on uncultivated land and only 30 cents'
per acre per annum on land which
pays him a net profit fixed In the con
tract of sale, while the native tenants
pay $1.17 per acre, hit or miss.
"How does that strike you for i

Care of Sewing Machine.
About once a month oil the machine
thoroughly with kerosene oil, treadle
wheels and every Joint; remove the
sewing cotton and run the machine
quickly for two or three minutes, then
wipe off nil oil and dust; next oil Just
as thoroughly with tho best machine
oil and again wipe well to remove ex
cess of oil. It Is a good plan to place
a piece of absorbent cotton around the
ueedlo bar so that oil will not ruu
down the needle to tho sewing. A
thickly folded newspaper placed under
tho treadles will prevent oil dripping
on the floor. A few drops of oil should
bo used ench day.
BREAKS ALTITUDE RECORDS.
Amateur Brooklns Excels Paulhan's
Hlflh Flight.
Indianapolis, June II. Walter S.
Brookitis of Dayton, an nmnteur pilot,
established n new world's altitude rec
ord for aeroplanes when he ascended
feet In a Wright biplane. The
previous record was -1,105 feet, made
by Paulfian at Los Angeles, In Jiinu
ary. Brooklns' feat wns performed
under nlmost perfect ntmospherlc con
ditions. Wilbur nnd 0;jyilo Wright
personally superintended the arrange
ments for tho flight.
Brooklns was In the nlr thirty min
utes. He made n beautiful landing.
Tho Wright brothers, who are here to
establish new records, according to
the statements of their associates,
were enthused grently over Brooklns'
performance. Wilbur Wright said that
(lights like the one Brooklns mnde
never have been witnessed In this
country and that his success demon
strated thnt the aeroplane will have
n fixed place In the world of sports.
He suld that Brooklns had his first
experience three months ago as n pi
lot, but he made only n few flights
before coming here.
Brooklns established two other rec
ords. He nscended 11.000 feet hi seven
and a half minutes nnd -4,000 In twen
ty-one minutes and thirty-five seconds.
According to the register of the In
struments, announced by A. B. Lam
bert of St. Louis, olllclnl timekeeper.
Brooklns was 1,000 feet in the nlr
seven minutes nfter he left the earth.
Ho rose to that point in a wide circle.
The whirr of the propellers was then
lost to the throng of spectators nnd
the neroplnne nppeared only n cross
floating In the sky.
Continuing his circles Brooklns rose
steadily nt a speed estimated at sixty
miles nn hour. Thirty minutes after
ho had started he had reached his
highest altitude and began the descent,
maneuvering nt lower and lower lev
els until nt a height of 100 feet he
shut off the motor nnd glided easily
to the ground alongside the starting
all.
The Wright brothers and the othe
aviators gathered around Brooklns,
cheering with the spectators as he
stepped out of the machine.

Dignity of a Dogcntcher. j
Tho question of tho distinction be

P. C. A. nt $25 a week to catch dogs,

Walter Ely asked him to wash his

"Ordinarily a dog catchor is look
ed upon as an ordinary sort of a per
son, but I must Insist that It is an
honored and honest profession, and
I am nn expert at it," remonstrated
Miller, who thereupon tendored his
resignation.

Dolliver Assails Regulars.
Washington, June 1-1. Tho president
of the United States and Republican'
loaders in the nation were arraigned In
a speech In the senate by Senator Dol
liver of Iowa, one of the leaders of the
insurgents. The Iowa senator tool;
the floor to discuss tho provision ot
tho sundry civil bill appropriating
$250,000 for the investigation of the
tariff by a commission, but he confined
himself largely to the rclutlons of the
Insurgents to the Republican party.
Declaring that ho Is a disciple of par
ty harmony and good will, Senatoi
Dolliver said ho was unable to compre
hend the bitterness with which men In
the Republican party have been re
vlled for tho views they entertain.
"Why should I bo reviled," ho asked,
"for opposing the wool schedule,
which was framed forty-two years ago
and opposed by party leaders at tin
time? It appears thnt there Is no Ion
ger the freedom of opinion nnd Judg-'
ment in the Republican party thai
mado It so strong and powerful."
Referring to Speaker Cannon, tin
Iowa senator said: "In speaking of h
colleagues that honorable gentleman
says they ought to be hanged. I pay
no more attention to what ho say
than do most people. But unfortu
nately thero aro some people who take
him seriously.
"What has como over the Republican
purty," nsked the Iowa senator, "that
freedom of discussion and debate are
now considered Insolence?"
Senator Dolliver said It was disagree
able for him to tell of the things that
had (rone on In tho party since the
passogo of tho tariff bill, but ho said
that his remarks would not be neces
tary hud the president loft senators
and members free to settlo their differ
duces with their constituents. He eon
sured Mr. Tuft for using his great of
fice to take the side of tho regulars.
Senator Dolliver characterized the
etatoment that tho tariff hud been re
vised downward aB n "gigantic swin
dle," the statement of what purported
to be decreases as a "subtorfugo" and
declared with au lronlcul smile that
