THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 191 2. PAGE THREE FOR YOUR PERUSAL Oonccrnlntt International Lumber Company. Office of International LumlDor & Development Company. Philadelphia, Juno 24, 1912. To Whom It May Concern: As the result of venomous and malicious attacks made by a news paper last winter and other falso rumors put In circulation by ene mies of the company, numerous com plnlnts have been filed with the Postofflco 'Department and an ex amination of the Company's affairs followed. This was accompanied by or sim ultaneous with attempts In the courts by certain attorneys in the name of a few stockholders to get control of the business and proporty of the company by enjoining the of ficers nnd directors even the con tractors doing tho work in Mexico from carrying on tho business of tho company, and to put it into the hands of a receiver. The attempt to get a temporary Injunction and receiver pending tho litigation failed and the motion wns withdrawn on tho 31st of May, 1912, and the costs thereof taxed to tho complanants. It was believed by tho friends of the company that this attempt to wreck or break it up had 'been abandoned and that the business of tho company could go forward in the regular way, but within tho last few days all the officers and direc tors of tho company who are at present in 'Philadelphia, were ar rested and required to give ball to appear before tho court on Septem ber 1C next to answer the charge of conspiracy to defraud. These arrests were under an In dictment by the Federal Grand Jury. Thero has been no hearing on this charge, the officers and directors charged had no notice of the pro ceeding. The chargo or Indictment seems to be based on the state ments of or evidence against the company on one side. only and In se cret, and the first and only notice that the accused had was when they were arrested. This action was a surprise to tho officers and directors as the Postof- flce authorities had on two previous occasions made investigation of the business of the company and its property in Mexico, tho first one be ing in year 1905, and apparently found nothing upon which to base action of any kind. Tho postal authorities are not now accused of having acted improp erly or maliciously but it is believed that they were compelled to make investigation at a time and under adverse conditions created by our. enemies. The individuals against whom this chargo Is made aro perfectly con scientious In their knowledge that they have done no wrong and that not only is tho charge false and un founded but that it cannot be sus tained, while they on the other hand can and will affirmatively prove it to bo false, without justification in every particular and detail as soon as It is possible to get a fair and open hearing. This statement is not made in the defense of the men charged with crime. That will (bo taken care of when the opportunity occurs, but it is made in order that thoso Interest ed as stockholders or otherwise may not be received by newspaper state ments or attorneys claiming to repre sent stockholders, into taking action adverse to the company or assisting n attempts to destroy it. These attorneys speaking through the newspapers aro assuring stock holders that they are trying again to have a receiver appointed and get control of the company. They will probably write letters to the stock holders to the same effect and seem to be trying to convey tho impression that the company has been "raided" and its business stopped. Thih Is entirely incorrect. On the contrary the officers and directors aro at their posts devoting their un remitting attention to the business of tho company and striving to so dlreit and manage affairs that tho completion of the supplemental con trart shall be accomplished at tho earliest possible moment and desire only to be permitted to carry out these plans unhampered by threat ening vexations and destructive liti gation. Notwithstanding the facts, and though even their attorneys aro quoted as saying in tho Evening Times of Juno 22 taht tho land of the company is "ono of tho richest sertions in tho Kopubllc and can bo developed to pay enormous re turns" "that this land has not only vast timber tracts but also has rich ore deposits and many acres of fer tile farming country," tho enemies o' 1 he company charge us with mon strous frauds and say that the prop erty of i he company is almost value less, hcni c we should be prosecuted and the company turned over to strangers to bo dealt with as usually tiappt-ns when a company goes into lie hands of a receiver. The officers and directors say that tftcy have been guilty of no fraud, mismanagement or wrong doing; that the company has tho Immensely valuable property In Mexico in evory respei t as it has been represented; that tho development of tho property is nearlng completion; that when completed In Soptember, 1912, as reported by contractors April 11, 1912, the earnings will bo so vastly increased that no reasonable share holder can fail to bo satisfied with ins investment and that ihoy aro using overy effort and means at their command to hasten this desir able condition. All the land of tho company is paid for in full. No salaries have been paid out of earnings to any officers prior to January 1, 1912. Not a dollar of money has been mis appropriated. All dividends paid have been realized from profits of tho operations of tho property of company under tho development con tract. To fair minded shareholders wo wish to put this question: Will you judgo tho company to bo a fraud, its proporty worthless, and its mana gers guilty of honlous crimes, beforo any of theso accusations nro proven or any hearing had thereon? Or will you 6ay as tho law and justice does that overy man must bo held inno cent till ho is proven guilty, and will at least suspend Judgment and do nothing to causo tho injury or wrecking of tho company until thero 1b nn opportunity for proof to bo made In these mattors and this great company saved to all concerned therein. To all willing to suspend Judg ment nnd support tho management In their difficult tnsk, wo havo to say that If allowed to carry out our plans unhampered by tho Interfer ence of the courts, thnt so surely as tho sun shines wo will provo that tho property of the company Is great nnd valuable as has always been claimed, that it has been developod and equipped till It has enormous earning power, In brief that every representation made with regard to it has been made good. Tho situation Is this: Support, sustain and co-opcrato with the man agement nnd they will make tho company and every Investment there in a great success. On tho other hand Join with the enemy, attack, sue, fight, put Into the hands of a receiver, tear down, destroy tho com pany, and every Investment will bo lost in the ruins. . Tako your choice. As soon as possible a complete statement of the wholo situation will be sent out to all concerned. We recommend that our shareholders do not part with their holdings at a sacrifice "but increase them when they can do so on favorable terms. A. G. 'STEAVlATlT, Vice-Pres. and Chairman of Execu tive Committee. AT WAII WITH THK FIiY. A Vigorous Campaign to be Carried Out Apilii-st Tills Pent. Tho State Department of Health is urging health officers throughout tho State to conduct a vigorous antl lly crusade at this time, pointing out that the same expenditure of effort at the beginning of the fly season will accomplish much more than it can in tho height of tho sum mer. The weather has been cold and wet, nnd the consequent backward ness of tho lly crop tells in favor of tho campaign of tho "ily-swatters." A number of cities and villages throughout the state havo held n "Clean-up" week, and in connection with this excellent idea tho Depart ment of Health asks the pertinent question: "Why not have fifty-two clean-up weeks?" In other words having after some effort become clean, why not stay clean? Why not cultivate a public sentiment against untidiness about tho premises and in the streets, supplementing tho teach ing by the making and enforcing of ordinances for the benefit of those who need a little stronger form of persuasion? Uy preventing at this time and throughout the summer the accumulation of manure in uncover ed heaps and of garbage in uncovored receptacles, tho female flies will be without breeding places In which to deposit their eggs. It is too much to expect, however, that no flies will breed; It is a good plan therefore to hang up traps near possible breeding places. Those that find their way Into houses or mar kets, etc., should be "swatted" or polsonod. Ono of the most effective poisons is a mixture of two table spoonsfuls of formalin with a pint of equal parts of milk and water. This mixture Is death to flies and less dangerous to human beings than many popular fly-poisons; it can be placed in shallow dishes with a piece of bread in the center to form a feeding placo. Flies, as well as bad water, spread typhoid, and it costs less to buy a screen door than to pay a doctor's bill, while screens In the window may prevent crepe on the lloor. The summer months are always marked by many deaths among Infants, and for many of these, Hies aro direct-( ly responsible by poisoning the milk fed to tho baby. The State De partment of Health says that a moth er who loves her child should as soon think of giving it poison as milk in which a lly has alighted, un less tho milk is brought to a boiling point after the fly has been removed. Death of Mrs. Jesso JIatliavvny. Mrs. Jesso Hathaway, tho subject of this sketch, died at her homo in Lookout, Pa., Juno 19, after an ill ness of more than six months, of tuberculosis of tho bowels. Deceased, who was tho daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan Hawley of Lookout, was born April 18, I860, and on Oct. 10, 1878, was united In marriage with Jesse Hathaway. Be sides her parents and husband she Is survived by ono daughter, Mrs. Nor man Tyler and ono son, Leland Hathaway. She was a sister of Mrs. Vernon T. Whltaker of Hancock. For years Mrs. Hathaway had been a member and faithful worker in the Methodist church, and was loved by a largo circle of friends. The funer al service was held in the church at Lookout on Friday last, tho pastor, Kov. liowen, officiating. Her re mains were interred in Pino Mill cemetery. Hancock Herald. AFTHIl THE COKPOKATIONS. Tho internal rovenuo department at Washington has decided that thero will bo no leniency shown this year to tho corporations or liquor dealers who fall to pay their Internal rove nue and corporation tax. Notice has been sent to tho collectors through out tho country for a list of tho names of thoso who do not pay on or before tho coming Saturday. The corporations aro assessed ono per cent, of all receipts over JO, 000. Iteturns of tholr business havo to ho filed with tho colloctor in tho district beforo March 1. Then as sessments aro made, which aro to bo paid 011 or before Juno 30. Upon falling to do this tho corporations get a cbnnce to make n compromise offer of settlement and if this is not suitable a lino of not less than fl, 000 or over ?10,000 i8 added to tho regular assessment.

BUTTERMILK. Only a few years ago tho chickens and the pigs got most of the resi duum of a churning. They get very littlo of it now, for the wise men or the hospitals have educated the pub lic to a knowledge of Its value. Not only in cases of serious stoma chic ailment, but for all persons of feeble or impaired digestion, butter milk is now esteemed a boon. Tho onco despised by-product ranks with sweet milk, and outranks It both with thoso who find it palat able and cravo it, and with those for whom it is medicinally prescribed. The taste for buttermilk is most ly acquired, but once one gets tho habit it grows and sticks. Back of tho developed fondness for the cold, tart, acid beverage Is tho agreeable consciousness that the drink, with tho casein principle of milk elimin ated, is a food salutary, wholesome and easily digested, and that the moro one Imbibes of It so much the better. Recent years have witness ed nn enormous increase in tho con sumption of buttermilk. Depart ment stores servo It with crackers; most saloons aro compelled to keep It on tap, and many report a gratify ing preference for it on tho part of their patrons over beer. Great is buttermilk, indeed; a nutritious food, a cooling Summer drink. Good U.so for Mail Order Catalogs.

It Is said that tho catalogs that have never been read make tho best kindling and It would bo better to uso it with tho mailing wrapper still on. -Advertise in Tho Citizen. t:n::3':ui::::i:::::::i:::::::::n:rtt:na MARTIN CAUFIELD I Designer and Man ufacturer of ARTISTIC MEMORIALS Office and Works 1036 MAIN ST.
