RIVER FALLS. • - • WIS.
ANOMALY OF PROFILES.
How often have we eat directly op*
posite a cpmely face in the street car,
for instance, admiring its regular,
•well-formed features, when, with a
certain turn of the person’s head, the
Illusion of beauty suddenly vanished,
the new view presented revealing con
tours of nose, chin and mouth disap
pointing in the extreme, says the
Photo Era. The consoling feature,
perhaps, is the ear, which, projecting
abnormally in so many cases, now as
sumes an air of repose. Few faces
will produce a profile of classic beauty,
and even some of these fail to yield
flattering full face portraits. This is
one reason that one sees more front
view portraits than profiles in paint
ing and photography. Incidentally, it
may be remarked that many a man
would look better with his head pre
sented in profile, if he wore a mus
tache instead of being smooth-shaven.
Not only does it preserve the har
monious proportions designed by na
ture, but its removal, in obedience to
fashion’s decree, sometimes result in
unpleasant disclosures, such as an ab
normally long upper lip or an ill
shaped mouth, besides imparting un
due prominence to the nose. A pos
sibly humorous phase of this subject
is the report that patrons of marriage
bureaus in large German cities now
insist upon both fullface and profile
photographs of thefr prospective con
sorts.
Judge Foster’s characterization of
“joy riding” as “thieving,” coupled
with his imposition upon the prisoner
before him of a sentence of a year in
the penitentiary, gives the new law
increasing the severity of the penalty
for the offense an excellent start, says
+he New York Post. Such an attitude
will not only serve as an emphatic
warning to reckless chauffeurs, but
will make it difficult for judges who
might be inclined to undue leniency to
yield to their weakness. It is a com
monplace that, in rendering law ef
fective, an ounce of enforcement is
worth a pound of additional legisla
tion.
Two British assistant army phy
sicians committed suicide in London
and the inquest resulted in the at
tribution of their self-murder to in
sanity caused by overwork. It was a
sad end, yet precautions to avoid such
a melancholy fate may be exaggerated.
Everyone who stops to reflect upon
the subject probably will be able to
recall the names of more than one
among the persons of his immediate
acquaintance who never will die of
overwork.
Save the babies. So many people

CONGRESS MAY QUIT IN AUGUST
SENATE AND HOUSE LEADERS
FIGURE ON ADJOURNMENT.
Uote on Pact, Wool Tariff and Frev
List Bills Still an
Issue.
Washington, July 3. —Indications are
growing that corgress may conclude
Its extra session earlier than has been
generally expected. Many senators, to
gether with Representative Under
wood, Democratic house leader, are
figuring on the first week of August
as a possible adjournment time. The
situation, however, is not sufficiently
clear to warrant a positive prediction.
No understanding has been reached
yet for a vote on any of the trio of
big measures bei’ore the senate, the
Canadian reciprocity bill, whose advo
cates express complete confidence in
its passage and the wool tariff and
free list bills. Senator Penrose, chair
man of the finance' committee, pro
poses, however, to press for unanim
ous consent to fix dates in quick se
quence for votes on all three meas
ures.
To hasten action Mr. Penrose and
other senators are planning longer
sessions immediately and perhaps will
insist on night meetings. Mr. La Fol
lette of Wisconsin is to offer amend
ments when he makes his long speech
on reciprocity.
Mr. Bristow of Kansas will put for
ward insurgent contentions and others
■who will figure in debate include Sen
ators Gronna, of North Dakota, and
Thornton of Louisiana, who will speak
this week, Burton of Ohio, Stone of
Missouri, Nelson and Clapp of Minne
sota, Bailey of Texas and Simmons of
North Carolina.
Neither the senate nor the house
will be in session until Wednesday.
The senate special committee to inves
tigate the election of senator Lorimer
will resume hearings here July 13, and
the house “sugar trust”, investigating
committee, July 10. The house “steel
trust” investigating committee will
continue its hearings very soon.

Chicago Grain Market.
Chicago, July 3. —Hot weather north
west gave the wheat market back
bone. The fact that deliveries here
were unexpectedly small had also a
bullish effect. The total was only
15,000 bushels whereas 2,000,000 bushels
or more seemed to be the popular es
timate beforehand. Moreover. Liver
pool sent word of a decrease in local
stocks and of less favorable reports
from Russia and from India. The open
ing was a shade to %c higher. Sep
tember started at 89% to 90%c; reacted
to 89%c and then rose to 89%@90c.
Reports that the damage area in
North Dakota was spreading held prices
flrm. The close was %@%c net higher
for September at 90c.
With stocks decreasing and with the
crop near the danger line from heat,
sentiment in the corn crowd kept bull
ish. September opened %@% to %@
•’ 4 c up at 61% to 61% despite the large
deliveries. One reason was that all the
grain sent round wen into strong hands.
The price touched 61 %c but rallied
quickly to 61%@61%c.
Subsequently the ma.ket hardened
still more. The close was steady at
62c for July, a net gain of %@%c.
Oats met a good deal of realizing
and though sympathizing with other
grain showed less strength. Septem
ber started %@%c to %@%c higher
at 44% to 44%c and reduced to 44%c.
Profit taking in July pork ceased off
that option but otherwise the market
ruled firm with hogs. First sales were
10c off to 7%c off with September de

and $8.50 to $8.55 for ribs.

HINES DENIES STORY
Dclares Funk Suggested* Fund Be
Raised.
Lumberman on Stand Before Lorimer
Investigating Committee—Per
jury Is Hinted At.
Washington.—Edward Hines, the
Chicago lumberman, denied on the
witness stand the story of Clarence
S. Funk that he (Hines) had asked
SIO,OOO for the election of Senator
Lorimer. He also contradicted the
testimony of W. H. Cook as to the al
leged telephone conversation with
Governor Deneen.
Hines gave his version of the much
discussed talk with Funk at the Union
League club at Chicago, said he was
sitting in the club with Fred Carney
of Marinette, Wis.; Charles Hall,
Sault Ste. Marie, and Isaac Baker of
Chicago. Mr, Funk aproached and
shook hands.
The witness continued:
“He (Funk) said: ‘I am glad
to hear of Mr. Lorimer’s election to
the senate.’ I said I was glad to hear
him say so. He said, ‘I would like
very much to have you arrange to
introduce me to Senator Lorimer. I
have never met him.’
“Then we walked over toward the
entrance of the club and he said: 'I
understand the senator must have
been put to more or less expense for
this senatorship, and he ought not to
stand It. The business interests
ought to take it off his hands. We
would like to contribute!’
“I said, ‘I do not know anything
about that. I will see about it, and
let you know.’ ”
Hines said he did not tell Lorimer
Funk wanted to tontribute.
After listening to Hines’ denial of
testimony by Funk and Cook, Sena
tor Kenyon exclaimed:
“Well, there will be some prosecu
tions for perjury right here.”
Referring to the much-discussed
telephone conversation, Mr. Hines de
nied positively that he said, “Hello,
Governor Deneen,” or spoke about the
use of money in the election. He de
nied knowing anything about the use
of money to elect Senator Lorimer.
Mr. Hines swore that Mr. Lorimer
himself, not Governor Deneen, was at
the Springfield end of the wire. He
assured Mr. Lorimer, then a congress
man, that he had been requested by
Senator Aldrich to say that President
Taft, Senator Penrose and the rest of
the national administration were for
Lorimer for senator, “and you must
be elected.”
In testifying, Mr. Hines admitted
saying he might “come down on a
train,” but made no mention of
money.

STEEL REPORT OUT
SMITH SAYS TRUST OWNS 75 PER
CENT. OF ALL LAKE
ORES.
MUCH ‘WATER’ IS ELIMINATED
Strength of United States Corporation
Is Shown to Be Due to Its Owner
ship of Large Portion of Crude
Product.
Washington.—President Taft made
public the much discussed and long
expected report on the United States
Steel corporation submitted to him by
the bureau of corporations.
Signed by Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, the re
port makes no recommendations and
is almost wholly narrative in form.
Mr. Smith declares that restriction of
competition was a prime object of the
organizers of the steel corporation, or
so-called “trust.”
Capitalized at $1,402,000,000. the cor
poration, he asserts, had tangible prop
erty worth only $682,000,000. By con
stant reinvestment of earnings, how
ever, the report pc.nts out, much of
the “water” in the company has been
eliminated.
The steel corporation now owns 75
per cent, of the lake ores, having re
cently concentrated its efforts to se
curing these properties. On this point
the report says:
“Indeed, in so far as the steel cor
porat’nn’s position in the entire iron
and steel industries is of monopolistic
character, it is chiefly through its
control of ore holdings and the trans
portation of ore.”
Discussing in detail how “the Im
pending struggle of the giants” was
averted almost over night by the for
mation of the great combination of
combinations, taking in 250 subsidiary
companies controlling 60 per cent, of
the total crude and finished steel
production of the country, the report
says:
“Until 1898 the bulk of the busi
ness was distributed among a very
considerable number of concerns.
There was sharp competition, modi
fied by frequent pools of greater or
less duration and effectiveness.”
Then came an era of great combina
tions, the report continues, with capi
talizations ranging from $30,000,000 to
$100,000,000, mergers of many smaller
companies, which, instead of eliminat
ing competition, threatened to bring
price cutting on a larger scale than
ever before. In 1899-1900 there were
three great companies—the Carnegie
company, Federal Steel and National
Steel —dominating the production of
crude and semi-finished products, and
six concerns—the American Steel and
Wire, American Tin Plate, American
Steel Hoop, American Sheet Steel, Na
tional Tube and American Bridge—
controlling the lighter finished pro
ducts.
This was the period when the "strug
gle of the giants” was impending and
when the formation of the United
States Steel corporation was con
ceived and brought about. All nine of
the companies named were combined,
and later the Union Steel company,
the Clairton Steel company, and, in
1907, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company were taken over.
The promoting syndicate putting the
deal through netted $62,500,000 in
cash.
The commissioner finds that compe
tition, so far as prices are concerned,
has been modified by the policy of
“co-operation” Inaugurated at the
“Gary dinners,” about which so much
has been said before the congressional
steel investigating committee.
The present valuation of the com
bine’s tangible property is placed at
$1,187,000,000, as against $1,468,000,000
outstanding securities, an Increase of
about $487,000,000 in property, while
only about $66,000,000 has been added
to capitalization.
BALKS PLAN TO FIX VOTE
La Follette Objects to Proposal to
Take a Ballot on Reciprocity
Bill July 24.
Washington.—An attempt by Chair
man Penrose of the senate finance
committee to fix July 24 for a vote
on the Canadian reciprocity bill was
defeated in the senate through Sena
tor La Follette’s objection.
The debate indicated that some of
the Republican insurgents and some
Democrats will fight to have the wool
revision and the free list bills passed
first so that the president will have
to act on them before the senate
passes the reciprocity bill.
A severe wind rain and hail storm
swept over Washington. It blew sixty
miles an hour about the capitol, caus
ing so much disturbance that the sen
ate adjourned. Senator Borah was
speaking and his colleagues found it
impossible to hear him.
Mother Slays Children and Herself.
Lockey, Tex. —Searchers found the
body of Mrs. Maude McCrary of Los
Angeles, Cal., hanging from a wind
mill in the rear of a house she had
been occupying, and the bodies of her
three children, with their throats cut,
in the weeds near the dwelling.
Banner Connecticut Peach Crop.
New Haven, Conn. —Advices re
ceived here from important centers
of the peach raising industry of the
state point to a banner crop for this
year.
Bank Robbed of $43,000.
Utica, N. Y. —The First National
bank of Earlsville, N. Y., announced
the disappearance of Its cashier, Guy
H. Clark, and a letter mailed in Utica
by Clark gave the officials the first
Intimation that they had been robbed
of $43,000.
Bank Head Found Guilty.
New York. —Joseph B. Reichman,
formerly president of the Carnegie
Trust company, was found guilty of
making false statements to the state
banking department.
KENOSHA MAN QUITS
NATHAN ALLEN RETIRES AS
HEAD OF BIG LEATHER FIRM.
Alleged He Furnished Money to Buy
Jewels Which Mrs. Jenkins Is
Charged With Smuggling.
Kenosha, Wis. —Nathan Allen, the
millionaire leather manufacturer who
is enmeshed in the Cassie Chadwick
like financing of Mrs. Helen Dwelle
Jenkins to an amount believed to ap
proximate $1,500,000, and which the
United States customs authorities at
New York allege were smuggled into
this country, has retired from active
business.
Announcement was made from the
offices of N. R. Allen & Sons company
here that Mr. Allen had resigned as
president and member of the board of
directors of the big leather concern.
About three months ago Mr. Allen
resigned from the board of directors
of the First National bank of Kenosha,
a post which he had held for several
years. Charles Chester Allen, a
nephew, succeeds to the positions va
cated by his uncle in the bank and the
leather company.
When Charles Chester Allen was
asked whether his uncle had been
forced to resign, he made an emphatic
denial.
New York.—Collector William Loeb,
Jr., declared that all the plans made
by Richard Parr, deputy surveyor
of the port, for visiting Chicago
to investigate the smuggling charges
against Nathan Allen, millionaire
leather man of Kenosha, Wis., Mrs.
Helen Dwelle Jenkins and John R.
Collins, their southern friend, were
laid before Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh at Washington before Parr
started on his trip.
Pending official developments in the
case, ten men and women of social
prominence in this city are under sur
veillance and the names of a score are
en the suspect list of Collector Loeb.
What particularly stimulates him are
intimations he has received that the
underground channel through his nets
is still open and that members of his
staff are implicated,

HARVARD WINS THE VARSITY
Beats Out Yale Crew in Annual Row
ing Test—Minor Events
Are Divided.
New London, Conn. —Harvard won
the annual boat race from Yale here
by a liberal margin. At one point the
Crimson boat was nine lengths ahead
of the Blue craft.
The Cambridge men caught the
water easily and took the lead from
the start, and at the finish were pull
ing easily. An aeroplane circled over
the course during the progress of the
race.
The official time of the varsity race
was: Harvard, 22:44; Yale,
Harvard won by fourteen lengths.
Yale pulled out a victory in the
freshmen eights by a superb spurt in
the last half mile, while the Harvard
substitute varsity fours, leading from
the start, defeated Yale by two

BABY’S HAIR ALL CAME OUT
“When my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was cn
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long naps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don’t think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
“I have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what I put
them on. I think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
I have ever used for toilet purposes.”
