That No Cash Was Received
For False Weighing,

fice of Deputy Surveyor of the Tort
James F. Vnll, uiul who Is now on
trial beforo Judge Mnrtln nnd n Jury
In the I'nltcil States circuit court on
the charge of complicity In the under
weighing frauds, resumed the witness
stand In his own defense under cross
examination conducted by Henry L.
Stlinson, the special prosecutor for the
government. Mr. Hedell admitted Hint
ills acceptance of the so called "house
money" might have had some lnlluoncc
in the assignment of assistant weigh
ers to ships or docks, but thu witness
ndhered to his statement of yesterday
that ho never accepted money which
he knew or understood to be part of
the fruit of fraudulent weighing.
Bedell characterized the testimony of
James 1'. Hyland as "positively false."
Hyland, who was a government wit
ness, testified that he paid Uedell a
part of the money received by hiui
from importers for underweighlng.
Hcdell, however, while admitting re
ceiving money from Hyland as well as
from Frederick I?. Sawyer, another
assistant customs weigher, contended
that he never know there was any
thing wrong in the payment by the
steamship companies of what was
called "house money." Such money
Bedell said he regarded as In the na
ture of a tip. This money wns paid
for facilitating the unloading of car
goes. Bedell admitted tlint part of this
money was paid by cortnln sugar im
porters, but this wns done, as he un
derstood It, only when the weighers
worked overtime. In no Instance, he

BOVINK TU11KKCULOSIS.
Iiniue Perccntngo of nil Herds In
fected with tho Disease.
A great many of our dniry far
mers think that thoro aro enough
regulations concerning their busi
ness, but it is highly probnblo that
further legislation in regard to milk
will follow the statement Dr. V. A.
Mooro recently made in Ithaca that
72 per cent of all herds of cattle in
tho State nro Infected with tubercu
losis. Dr. Mooro Is ono of tho staff
of the New York Stato Votorinary
College at Cornoll, and consulting
veterinarian to the Stato Agricul
tural Department. Ho bolloves that
steps should ho tnken to probo tho
hords r.nd eradicate tho disease. Dur
ing tho last year tho Stato Depart
ment tested 2,753 cattle. Of this
number G28 responded to tho tub
erculin test nnd were killed, The
owners received for theso condemned
cows a total of $G,S19, which aver
ages a little mor' thnn $10 a hend,
tho Stato law allowing the payment
of forty per cent of tho value of any
animal killed by order of tho Stato
Veterinarian. This, it is claimed. Is
considered too small an amount by
tho farmers and often Induces them
to cover up tho condition of infected
animals. Stato Agricultural Com
missioner Welting believes tho own
ers should be paid a greater percent
age, and that the only safo way to
eradicate the disease is to kill off tho
infected animals within a given per
iod. To do this vould require thous
ands o officials and an immense ex
penditure of money, but ho is suro
the State will eventually bo forced
to adopt tho plan and will, in tho
end, be the better off for It.
Discussing tho question, Dr. Mooro
recently called attention to a very
common error when ho said: "You
will see advertisements appear drink
only Pasteurized or sterilized milk
and avoid disease germs. Now tho
fact is that tuberculosis germs can
not be killed under 210 degrees
Fahrenheit. To heat milk to that
temperature would change it to a
curd like cheese. Raw milk Is tho
natural food and tho supply should
be protected by tho State at any
cost."

Lambs und tho Self Feeder.
Wo all differ in our methods (in
feeding lambs. Some of us "get
thoro'' much better than others, and
succeed in fattening tho lambs. A
man that can not mako thom fat,
does not long continue in tho busi
ness. I never tried tho self-feeder,
for tho simplo reason, at first, that
tho evidence of tho experiment sta
tions was decidedly against tho prac
tico. As experionco comos to mo, I
nm moro strongly against tho prac
tice. Station work Bays that gains

lambs, knows, or should know, that
a lamb will not loavo a feed that ho
likes till ho is full and in too many
instances, too full. Then ho stands
off until hunger impols him to food
again. If tho othor lambs have
"blown" upon tho feed that ho must
oat, ho will not touch it till very
hungry, and then ho eats too much
again. This "see-saw" way of feed
ing must belong to tho self-feodor.
Thwn anothor objection to tho solf

which entails a great deal of hard

NEWS FROM MAINE
PLEASED BERRY
Gubernatorial Nominee Elated
Over Democratic Victory,
HE ATTACKED TARIFF BILL
Independent Republicans Quit Key
stone Party, Disgruntled With the
Brynnltc Outfit.
Special Correspondence.
Philadelphia, Sept. 20.
An exhibition of partisanship which
startled and disgusted tho fow inde
pendent Republicans present was
given by William H. Berry at a moot
ing In this city a few nights ago, when
the KeyBtone Party nominee, unablo
to suppress his jubilation, Bpoko ex
ultantly of "tho good news from
Maine."
Not only did ho oxpross intonso
gratification over tho Democratic vic
tory in the Pino Tree Stato, hut ho
followed this up with an attack upon
tho Ropubllcan tariff and tho Taft ad
ministration, which so incensed Re
publicans that tho llttlo cotorio that
wero there left tho hall, dotorminod to
have nothing further to do with his
candidacy.
Yes, , Berry had "hoard tho good
news from Maino," and his old-tlmo
Democratic spirits wero revived; ho
could not help but rejoice in a tri
umph for a party with which ho fought
for so many years. "While he is a
bolter this year from tho Guffoy Dem
ocratic stato organization, Berry still
holds allegiance to tho national De
mocracy, particularly to tho Bryan
wing of that party, for which at Den
ver he deserted Guffey for Bryan
Guftey who had done so much for him,
nominated him and financed his cam
paign for state treasurer, and even
though ho was thon getting $8000 a
year salary from tho stato treasury,
loanod him $15,000 upon collateral
which when put up at public salo real
ized but $700, and then suit had to bo
entered in court in an effort to obtain
payment of tho balance, $14,300, with
not a dollar's worth of interest paid
upon tho loan.
While Berry's ingratitude to Guffey
is not a jnnttfjr. of public concern, and
,o . ;SCj0r m the present political
campaign, Berry's adherence to the
Democracy, his intense loyalty to tho
Bryan leadership, is the subject of
widespread comment
Could Not Stand Berry.
In this city, especially, Berry's nom
ination upon tho independent ticket at
once estranged thousands from that
movoment who might under certain
conditions have been inclined to favor
an independent Republican for gov
ernor. Others who at first declined to
say what attitude thoy would take in
the campaign, havo slnco come out
squarely in favor of tho full Republi
can ticket.
This was tho logical outcome of tho
revelations as to Berry's financial
dealings with Guffey, followed by
Berry's erratic coureo.upon the stump,
has flambouyant and rambling oratory
culminating in his sensational and un
called for attack upon tho nowspapor
mon of tho stato simply becauso they
published tho facts relating to his get
ting money from Guffoy, tho samo
Guffoy who was himself a heavy bor
rower from banks in Pittsburg hold
ing stato funds, of which Borry was
the custodian for tho taxpayers, and
Berry's gratuitous insult to every Re-,
publican is his public felicitations with
tho triumphant Democrats of Maino
and his denunciation of tho framers
of tho now tariff act. In which tho In
dustrial, farming and business inter
ests and tho welfare of evory wage
earner of tho Keystone Stato wero
safeguarded by tho two Republican
United States senators and all of tho
Republican mombors of tho lowor
house from Pennsylvania.
Berry's admission at a public moot
ing here "that there was not a dollar
in tho treasury of tho Koystono Party"
simply omphaslzcd tho fact that sub
stantial men, men of affairs, property
owners aud buslnoss mon, to whom
tho importance of electing a safe and
sane man to tho governorship appoals
most strongly, will havo nothing to do
with his candidacy or tho hybrid com
bination of disappointed and cast-off
politicians back of tho Koystono Party.
Desertions on Every Side.
Berry talks and acts like a man who
knows ho has not got a chance to win
tho governorship. Ho admitted in his
West Philadelphia spooch last week
that when ho accepted tho nomination
he had no idea of boing oloctod.
Developments since tho Koystono
ticket was put In tho Hold all show
that his candidacy has boeu con
stantly gotting woakor rather than
strongor.
Desertions of independent Republi
cans and Democrats from tho Berry
movouient aro noted every day. Roaig
nations 'from Keystono Party commit
toes aro boing announced on every
hand, and nowspapers which gavo ou
couragemont to hiB causo at tho out
set havo slnco either turned in for
Tenor, tho Ropubllcan, or Grim, the
rogular Democratic nomlnoe.
Whllo Berry still doclaros ho is a
Democrat, there are not a half dozen
Democratic nowspapers in tho stato
now favoring his election, and thero
are about a liko number of so-called
IndoDendent nowspapers for him.

THE GREATE8T FOE OF THB
KINGDOM.
International Bible Lesson for Sept.
25, '10 (Gol 5: 15-26)
Drunkenness Is a world wido vico.
Ever slnco fruit ripened nnd grapos
and npplos grew and tormented tho
nations havo Indulged in strong drink.
Noah was a preacher of righteousness,
but In a world whero thoro was at
least no lack of water ho got drunk
upon wino. And tho wholo human
raco has come stnggorlng and reeling
down tho ages, inebriation having In
troduced another dclugo of nlcohol.
Tho Blblo Is dramatic with tho story
of the evil effects of drunkennoss as
scon In tho history of Individuals,
tribes nnd nations, and It thunders Its
warnings against the uso of strong
drink. So universal has this plaguo
bocomo that multitudes of children
nro born with an appetite for liquor
that they Inherit from a drunken an
cestry. Thoy are nursed on a black
bottle. Their flrst step out of tho cra
dle is toward tho dram shop. They
tnko to alcohol as other children do
to milk. Thoy are born drunkards.
A great army of men and women Is
mnrchlng on in all lands who havo
had bequeathed to them by genera
tions of ancestors, evil habits, flery
appetites, destroyed reputation, sign
ed, sealed and delivered In tho pres
ence of tho harpies of hell.
Slavery of Appetite.
Socloty punishes such people with
pains and penalties, becauso it is im
possible for them to do what those
who havo not had their Inheritance
are able to do, avoid tho temptation
to drink. Other men can totally ab
stain, or drink with moderation all.
through llfo and never becomo intoxi
cated. But one taste of alcohol to
these victims of hereditary appetlto
is like a spark in a powder magazine.
Thero is no power on earth to prevent
its blowing up. They will drink
.though they are assured thoy will dlo
in five minutes. Though the cup bo
beaded with tho toars of wife and chil
dren, though tho froth of everlasting
anguish floats on tho brim, they will
drink to their wife's shame, to their
children's rags, to their Darren home3,
to their wind-swept, bramble-covered
graves, to disgust of tho world, and
eternal oblivion.
What does tho ordinary person
know of appotlto liko this? Abso
lutely nothing. Therefore we hurl
epithets at drunkards, nnd throw
thom into vilo places of detention not
fit for swlno to inhabit in many cases,
and drag them before police Judges
and sentenco them to Jail for days and
weeks and months, and license es
tablishments in every city and town
to cater to that appetite and fatten on
the depravity which burns In the
breasts of theso unfortunates.
Instead of making It hard for those
victims of ancestral sin to do wrong
and easy for thom to do right, wo
build for thom a toboggan chute to
hell and lubricate the way to expe
dite their passage Society gets nerv

Rum An Anarchist.
Wo hoar a great deal In these days
about tho enemies of tho laboring
man. Labor Is vociferously crying
out against oppression from one
source or another, and some of It Is
wiso and somo Is otherwise. But
when did labor organizations pass
resolutions against tho workingman's
worst enemy strong drink. In nine
cases out of ten when great calami
ties befall rum is at the bottom of it.
Tho mind Is clouded, the eyes are
fclurrod, tho hand trembles nnd a dis
aster follows that shocks tho nation.
What is the reason that so many men
live in cheerless homes, and aro
obliged to wear shoddy, and their
wivos novor havo but ono dress, and
their children go barefooted and rag
god? Look in tho saloon keepers till
and you will seo your answer. Rum
bills havo to bo paid, tho grocer, tho
baker, tho clothlor must tnko what Is
loft.
Rum is tho anarchist of tho cen
turlos, nnd it has boycotted tho body
and soul of American labor. It annu
ally swindles Industry out of a largo
per cent, of Its wnges. It halts tha
mechanic nnd tho operatlvo on his
way to work in tho morning, during
the noon Intermission, and on his re
turn to his choorless homo at night.
And in tho evening tho dram shop la
all aglltter with radianco, vocal with
music, scductlvo with companionship,
"tho poor man's club." It Is indeed a
"club," pounding out his monoy. his
Uharactor, his reputation, his llfo. If
tho money which has gone across tho
saloon keopor's bar in the last fifty
years had boon proporly used by tho
tollers of this country, overy working
man could havo had a houso, and
every houso could havo had a gardon,
nnd every garden could havo boon
filled with fruits and tlowors, overy
workingman's wlfo nnd sons nnd
daughters Could havo been well-cloth-od,
woll-fod, well-schooled, and not
only tho necessities, but tho luxuries
of llfo could havo been theirs. If tho
worklngmon of tho country will pro
claim a strlko against tholr old and
Inveterate enemy ruin, within tho
noxt twenty years prosperity will
como to this country such as tho na
tion has novor known.
