APPEALS TO PUBLIC I'i IHAI'IIUN HliHt Financial Support Asked in Plaii to Show Up Alleged Misdeeds. "CRIME AGAINST 3,000,000" Chairman Kins Makes Sharp Attack on Eminent La-.vycrs Who, He Says, Arc Seeking to Delay the Prosecution. rr* t~t^er i\t\v x ui jr. v. ii.1.? iniiiau a. uiu>,i chairman of the committee formed recently for the purpose of compelling restitution of sums diverted from the Metropolitan Street Railway and its allied corporations, and punishing the individuals found to be responsible, gave out an interview in which he told something of the difficulties that his committee had experienced in obtaining counsel owing to the extensive counections of the traction interests. ljast October, Mr. King said, he went to a lawyer of distinction in criminal practice and tried to retain him. The lawyer asked first a retaining fee of $10,000, but said that before having anything to do with the undertaking he must consult with some of his friends. A few days later Mr. King received this letter from him: "I have discussed the matter you broached to me with a lawyer for whose opinion I have the highest respect, _and who is older and more experienced than myself, and he views the situation as I feared he would? that is to say, he believes that there is a possibility that my association in other litigations with attorneys now representing the interests that you propose to attack might embarrass me seriously in rendering to you ana your associates the services to which you would be entitled if I accepted your proposition. "Under these circumstances, although I have accepted no retainer from the other side, I believe it would be wiser and safer to decline to take yours." Mr. King declared in his interview that no member of the committee would receive any remuneration for his services of any kind, and that the committee looked upon it3 task not from the view point of protecting the stockholders of the Metropolitan Street Railway alone, but those of every other corporation handling a public utility. "It is high time," said Mr. King, "that a halt be called in the methods used by these high financiers for the wrecking of great corporations for taeir pertjouai usueiu, iui uwcmw no institution in the country will be safe from their rapacity and greed. Their work was exposed in the life insurance companies and even the savings banks are not entirely safe from It, for It was only a few years ago that a bill was passed legalizing investments by savings banks in securities that needed very close scrutiny. "It is now squarely up to the public to lend not only their moral but their financial support to this committee in their effort to carry their > work to a successful issue. The looting and wrecking of the Metropolitan Street Railway is a crime against 3,000,000 of people in this city. They have not only deprived thousands ol the holders of the stock and bonds ol their means of living by rendering worthless these securities, but by allowing the physical condition of the road, and particularly of the rolling stock, to deteriorate, they endanger the health and the very lives of our citizens who depend upon these roads for their transportation. i# "It must not be forgotten that a great majority of the people who use the cars are working people, many of them earning a mere pittance, and fortunate it tney nave more man onu change of clothing, and these people ate compelled to wait in the streets in stormy weather on account of the inadequate number of cars. The statistics of the Health Department telling of the ravages of grip, pneumonia and consumption, tell the tale, to say nothing of the effect upon the morals of the people of the overcrowding in which thousands of women are enduring insults daily which are beyond their power to prevent or even to resent. "The men that thiscommittee seeks to reach and punish are aided by some of the greatest lawyers, shining lights of the bar, but hardly less culpable than the men they seek to shield and keep out of .iail. These legal luminaries take advantage of every technicality of the law to delay and defeat the ends of justice, in some instances refusing to testify be fore grand juries oecause 01 men 'confidential relation?.' with their clients, and some of these 'confidential relations' the eommittes will endeavor to make public. "If the tactics of these eminent lawyers are within the lav.-, then the sooner the laws are repealed and others substituted whereby the guilty can be punished for their misdoings, the better, and until this is done confidence can never be restored in oui financial integrity."

The De SaganCastellane quarrel continues to excite ; all aristocratic Paris. Clubmen crit icise Prince Helie de Sagan because he has made French titled aristocracy * ridiculous in the eyes of the public by appealing to an humble police i court for satisfaction Instead of instantly challenging Count Boni de, Castellane, divorced husband of Anna " Gould, to a duel, and the plain people are chuckling over the decadence of r" an aristocracy which prefers settling domestic scandals in a police court instead of with swords and pistols on the dueling field. The Marquis de Castellane, father of Count Boni, freely discussed the quarrel, saying: "You ask me to give the exact report of the violent encounter which took place between my son and the Prince de Sagan. This I do with all the greater pleasure, as it gives me the opportunity to rectify the false j accounts which got into some of the newspapers. j "On Friday last, at the Church of i WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST | Dr. Samuel G.

In addition to this there have been 126 deaths from influenza without pneur monia. ' It seems a fitting time to say a ' word about the preventive treatment 1 of - these fatal diseases. Here are three suggestive rules laid down by i Dr. Samuel G. Tracy: 1. Keep mouth, teeth, tonsils and ' nose clean. 9 W onn vital rocictnnpo r?f t h o ' body up to the standard. ; 3. Breathe plenty of fresh air, both in the house and out of it, but protect the body from cold and 5 draughts by proper clothing. J It is necessary to keep the mouth, 1 nose, tonsils, etc., clean, because the mucous membrane of these parts, especially the tonsils, is not infrequently the port of entry of the germs of several infectious diseases, as influ; enza, pneumonia and acute rheumatism. The little depressions in the tonsils are a favorite place for these germs to lodge; when the tonsils are inflamed and the vital resistance of " the body lowered from any cause, > | LYNCH LAW RECORb LOV ' Average Number of Victims Week?Seventeen Less 1 New Orleans. ?

"Leaving the church ten minutes before the requiem services were over he passed my son, and, looking him straight in the face, as if deliberately to provoke him, took his hat. and rammed it on his head, thus defying all the rules of good taste, and, as if to say, 'Monsieur, I do not care a hang for you.' The Insult was such that it deserved immediate correction, and my son did not hesitate to administer it. My son left church, and, following De Sagan, spat squarely in his face, saying, 'Here is the New Year's gift which my children requested me to give you!'

GRIP AND PNEUMONIA Precautions That Should Be Tit These Diseases. these germs are taken into the system, circulated in the blood, and multiply with great rapdity. To prevent their development it is necessary to antiseptically cleanse their breeding places and keep them ctean, es- i pecially if one spends a considerable j time in the rooms of those who have influenza or pneumonia. As a clean- } ser I would recommend a simple an- j tiseptic alkaline wash. The follow- j ing formula can be made at home or j at the druggist's: Powdered boracic acid, 18 grains; | thymol, 1 grain; alcohol, 1 ounce; j table salt, 20 grains; baking soda, 30 ' grains; essence wintergreen, 2 teaspoonfuls; glycerine, 1 tablespoonful; uisuueu waier, o uunres. Use the solution plain as a mouth wash or gargle, and diluted one-half with water it can be used as an anti- i septic spray for the nose. This solution should be used daily I after breakfast or at bedtime, and I oftener if much exposed. The prep- j aration is not poisonous, and no harm , will come if a little is swallowed. In some cases I recommend the i use of peroxide of hydrogen tocleanse , the throat and mouth before the application of the antiseptic alkaline solution.

The Commission declares that rail way managers generally throughoul the country have accepted the act ic 'good faith and shown a sincero disposition to conform to its requirements. i Figures relative to deaths and injuries due to railway accidents in the year 3 907 were also made public They show that the total number ol casualties was 108,324 and that 10,618 persons were killed. A large proportion of the accidents were confined to employes of railroads, al; though the number of passengers killed during the year was 359 and those injured 10,764. This is an improvement over the previous year during which 537 passengers were killed and 10,457 injured. Passengers killed In collisions numbered 146 and those injured 6,053. The number killed outside oi employes and passengers numbered 6330 and those Injured 10,241. A large number of these latter casualties are attributed to trespassing. These figures, which are from the annual report of the Interstate Commission, show that the total number of casualties to persons other than employes from being struck by trains, locomotives or cars was 5127 killed and 4905 injured. The casualties ol this class at highway crossings show: Passengers killed, 3; injured, 8; other persons killed, 926; injured, 1884; passengers killed at stations, 48; Injured, 96; other persons killed, 566; Injured, 647; passengers killed al other points along the track, 3; injured, 16; other persons killed, 3,581; injured, 2254. Ratios of casualties indicate thai one employe in every 387 was killed and one employe in every twenty was Injured. One trainman was killed for every 124 employed and one was injured for every eight employed. In 1906 one passenger was killed for every 2,227,041 carried and one Injured for every 74,276 carried. For 1905 the figures show that 1,375,856 passengers were carried for one killed, and 70,655 passengers were carried for one injured. Casualties occurred among three general classes of railway employes, as follows: Trainmen, 2310 killed and 34,989 injured; switch tenders, crossing tenders and watchmen, 147 killed and 1026 injured; other employes, 1472 killed and 40,686 injured.

C.?President! I Roosevelt flatly charges Admiral j I Brownson with being "disloyal to the . I interests of the navy, and therefore i of the country as a whole," for re1 signing as Chief of the Bureau of ' Navigation rather than sign an order , which he believes to be unlawful, as| signing a naval surgeon to command J a navy ship. The President made his personal entrance into the navy row by caus ing to be given out for publication at ! the Navy Department two letters . which he has written to Secretary t Metcalf. In one of them he denounces Admiral Brownson in language calcu? lated to put a more severe strain upon that officer's self-restraint than it has ever endured before. In the i other he defends the choice of a med1 ical officer to command the hospital BhiD Relief. All the scorn and reprobation in > the President's vigorous vocabulary are employed to describe the conduct i of the Admiral in quitting his post | rather than, as he viewed the matter, ' surrender its functions to the White I House physician, and to characterize the contention of the line that only line officers should command ships. The President denounces the ac' tion of the Admiral as "unseemly and improper" and as "ifrejudicial to the ' | interests of the navy." He refers to i the controversy about warship con- v struction, raised by the publication | of the Reuterdahl charges, and in: volves the Admiral in that, despite the fact that Admiral Brownson stoutly defended the navy in an interview given only two or three days before he left the Bureau of Navigation. "These controversies are highly in jurious to the service," says the President. With another reference to the "grave impropriety of the Admiral's jconduct," he declares that it "Is not merely childish, but in the highest degree reprehensible to permit per1 sonal pique, wounded vanity or fac; tional feeling" to render a man "disloyal to the interests of the navy and the country." ! Those friends of Admiral Brown- < 1 son who have believed that the President* would make ppblic the Admiral's letter of resignation were disap! pointed. There is no direct mention of it or Its contents in either of the : President's letters to Secretary Met- 1 1 calf, and not the slightest indication of any intention on the part of the White House ever to permit it to become public. There are only two ways In which Admiral Brownson can get his side published?one by : resigning from the navy, giving up 1 1 his commission entirely, and the other through a Congressional investigation.

The annual consumption of oil of turpentine for the entire world Is estimated at 21,400,000 gallons. Practically all of this enormous quantity of spirits is produced in the United States. As the method of extracting turpentine is destructive and the possibility of an extinction of the source of supply appears no longer very remote, there has arisen an increasing demand for turpentine oil substitutes. The value of spirits of turpentine is largely due to its slow but complete volatilization, allowing the painter time to get an even finish, and it is sufficiently volatile to prevent the paint from running. The N petroleum substitutes have been pre- - ^ pared so as to closely simulate the aatural product in this respect. Since there is no reaction taking place in a paint which can be credited to terpentine, it acts as a solvent, pure and simple, and hence there can be no objection to the use of theSe substitutes in paint manufacture. The socalled wood turpentine, distilled from Btumps and wood, has a very unpleasant odor, due to about two and onehalf per cent, of extraneous principles, mainly formaldehyde.
