hours more. Mr. Sturgis said that the
two members of Chapin & Co were
suspended from the exchange for 30
days.
"That was the most glaring case
of manipulation in the history of the
exchange wasn't it?" asked Mr. Un-
terroyer Mr. Sturgis would express no opinion.
"Why is it you suspend men tve
manipulation like this tor only SO days
and suspend for five yevs men who
split their commisslones?" asked Mr.
Untermyer.
Mr Sturgis declared that dividing
commissions was "the most infamous
crime a member-of the Etchaii.-re could
commit against his fellow members."
Stoek Exchange Tricks.
The examination of Mr. Sturgis
brought out the point that the mem-
bership of the stock exchange has not
been increased since 1869 when it was
fixed at 3100 although since then the
business done and the stocks listed on
the exchange have increased about 50
times over
Mr Sturgis said the present mem-
bership was well able to handle the
business of the public.
"Is It legitimate for a member of
the stock exchange to give an order
to sell a certain amount of stock to
one broker and an order to buy the
same amount of the sam-5 stock to
another broker?" asked Mr. Unter-
myer. Bo long as there is no collusion
and the commissions are paid H Is not
illegitimate" said Mr. Sturgis.
"The important point is that the
brokers' commission be paid?" asked
the lawyer.
"Yes. that is it"
"You know the object of that sort
of a transaction is to raise or de-
press the price of the stock?"
"The object is to create xn active
market."
"A market that appears to be active
you mean?"

The Working Man's Friend
to Time of Sickness
I am a blacksmith by trade and would
like to say a word to all who have
to work bard and suffer with their
kidneys. I suffered for about ten
years and was treated by a Waynes-
boro Tt. Doctor. He said that I had
Brightfs Dtsefcse aad that he had done
all he could for me. I read about Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root and as I could
hardly do a day's work was willing
to try anything that would do me any
good. After taking Swamp-Root a few
days I felt so much better that I con-
tinued until I felt that I was cured
and I was altogether a new man. That
was eight years ago and if I ever feel
the least pain about my kidneys I just
take a few doses of Swamp-Root and
in a few days I am all right. I feel
today that I am a -well man and would
say to all who suffer with their kid-
neys take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
for it has done more for me than all
the doctors and saved doctors' bills.
I can further say that about two
years ago my son was sick in bed and
was taking medicine from doctors and
got worse all the time. I went in the
night and got a fifty-cent bottle of
Swamp-Root and told him to lay aside
all the doctors' medicines and take
Swamp-Root. He took six bottles and
I am glad to say that he is well to-
day and has not had any trouble with
his kidneys since. It was Swamp-Root
that cured him. My son now thinks
that there is no medicine that a doc-
tor can give that can compare with Dr
Kilmer's Swamp-Root

a transaction with the stock at a fic-
titious figure and finally objected to
the form of the witness answers.
"You are asking me a moral ques-
tion and I'm answering a stock ex-
change question" said Mr. Sturgis
with a smile and the committee
laughed.
The witness insisted that these
transactions were beyond the power of
the exchange for discipline so long
as the commissions were paid.
Mr. Sturgis admitted that the Con-
solidated Exchange had been a com-
petitor of the Stock Kxchange and
that some times the feeling of rivalry
grew bitter. He admitted that in
1909 the Stock Exchange endeavored
to force the Western Union to with-
draw from the Consolidated Exchange
two stock tickers.
two stock tickers. The Consolidated
took the matter to the court and re-
tained the tickers.
InBlfcisg Opposition.
"Then the rule was passed forbid-
ding Stock Exchange members to do
business with Consolidated brokers"
he said.
"You just -wanted to punish the Con-
solidated?" suggested Mr. Untermyer.
"No we wanted to protect our-
selves." The Consolidated charges just one
half as much for commission for do-
ing the public's business as you do?"
"Yes."
"Hasn't that something to do with
the ill feeling?"
"Well no I don't think bo."
"If the Consolidated doubled its
commission charge there would be no
trouble would there?"
After some discussion Mr. Sturgis
said
"Well that -would be a healing balm
to some extent. That would be help-
ful "
"Somewhat of Gambling Mature."
Rudolph Keppler who followed Mr
Sturgis on the stand declared that
"manipulation" -was perfectly proper.
as long as it was legitimately con-
ducted the commissions -were paid and
there was so collusion.
"Do you agree with the conclusion
of the Hughes commission that "a sub-
stantial part of the transactions on
the stock exchange are gambling? "
asked Mr. Untermyer.
"I -would say that some transactions
on the stock exchange are somewhat of
a gambling nature" answered. Mr
Keppler.
The Arcfabald Case.
The senate has adopted an order for
the closing by Saturday of the testi-
mony in chief against judge Robert
W. Archbald of the commerce court
on trial for alleged misbehavior and
misdemeanors in office. Monday was
set for the beginning of testimony for
the defence.
B. H. Myer the interstate commerce
commissioner whose complaint to presi-
dent Taft of judge Archbald's conduct
led ultimately to the impeachment
charges before the senate committee
today testified to receiving data from
W. P. Boland. of laying the matter be-
fore the entire commission and finally
before president Taft.
"We want to show this case has de-
veloped normally and is not the re-
sult of a conspiracy" claimed repre-
sentative Clayton chairman of the
house managers.
Christmas Holidays Set.
Adjournment of congress for the
Christmas holidays from December 19
to January 2 was authorised today
when the senate adopted a resolution
already passed by the house.
When the senate convened at noon
it resumed consideration of the omni-.
bus claims bill.
Penfrfon Legislation.
The house considered privato pension
legislation this afternoon and also re-
sumed consideration of the Indian ap-
propriation bill-
Representative Kindred introduced a
resolution calling i. or a report of the in-
vestigation inttf the Peruvian rubber
district atrocities.
Representative Kahn urged the pub-
lic buildings committee to provide
$500000 for a marine hospital at San
Francisco.
Readjustment of the patent fee sys-
tem is proposed in a bill introduced by
representative Oldfield.
Railroad men were heard by the post-
office committee in a plea for adequate
compensation for carrying the mails.
The merchants marine committee set
January 7 for beginning the hearings
in the investigation of steamship pools.
Freedom For Philippines.
Following in the wake of the presi-
dent's message concerning the Phil-
ippines is the announcement that rep-
resentative Jones of Virginia chair-
man of the house committee on insu-
lar affairs will try to press his Phil-
ippine independence bill to passage
through the house before Christmas.
There is a strong undercurrent of
feeling here howeier among the
Democrats in the house who were
governor Wilson's most active sup-
porters in the pre-convention campaign
against precipitate action with regard
to the Philippines These men are
opposed to the Jones bill in its pres-
ent form though in accord with its
vital principle
It is no secret here that the plat-
form committee of the Baltimore con-
vention last summer declined by a
unanimous vote to commit the party
to the Jones bill on the ground that
nobody in the Democratic partj knew
anything much about conditions in the
Philiprmf and that the paru owed
it to the coJntrj not to legislate on

Postal Appropriations.
The postoffice appropriation bill ag-
gregating $278489781 including 1750-
000 for parcels post equipment and
$25000 for the parcel post commis-
sion was reported to the house yes-
terday. The total is a decrease of
$3301727 from last year's estimates.
The postoffice department submitted
incre&ed estimates partially attribu-
table to the expense of the parcels
post to be installed under the present
law and to the postal savings bank.
The estimate -was reduced by the com-
mittee on the ground that the esti-
mates as to the projects are largely
speculative.
Despite the postmaster general s re-
pert of a small surplus for the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1911 the post-
office committee reported that there
was a deficit of about $x7.000 instead
of a surplus of $219000 for that year.
Similarly according; to the committee
the accounts chargeable to this year
may make a change in the postmas-
ter ganeraTs deficit.

namlting. Motrin said after McNama-
ra's arrest he assisted in raising a de-
fence fund. He said be arranged to
have a moving picture show represent-
ing McNamara as being "kidnaped" by
the authorities.
Wasted Expenditures Published.
Morrin testified that at the Roches-
ter. N. Y. convention of the ironwork-
ers three days before the Los Angeles
explosion he attempted but failed to
have passed a resolution for the publ-
cation of the expenditures.
Knowing that $1000 had been given
to Olaf A Tveitmoe of San Francisco
to help oat the Los Angeles strike and
that thousands of dollars had been
spent without an accounting still when
McNamara was arrested you believed
him innocent?" Morrin was asked in
cross-examination-
"I did" said Morrin.
Counsel for the defence objected to
this ilne of inquiry but the court held
it had been shown that "thousands of
dollars of the ironworkers' funds had
been used for the purpose of destroying
life and property.
District attorney Miller read a report
to the ironworkers' convention by Eu-
gene A. Clancy of San Francisco ad-
vising the strikers in Los Angeles to
continue picketing in defiance of a city
ordinance and urging them to go to
jail rather than obey the law.
Morrin was asked whether he had ap-
proved of Clancy's report He said he
could not recaM.
The government read- proceedings of
the Milwaukee convention in which the
delegates charged that dynamite and
nitrogrlycerin "had been planted by
detectives of the National Erectors' as-
sociation so as to manufacture evlder.ee
against McNamara In the country wide
strike of the Iron "Workers against
open shop concerns."
No Accounting for FuhOs.
Overruling repeated objections judge
Anderson sild: "Witness after witness
has testified here tending to show that
the officers of this union spent thou-
sands of dollars of the union's funds
to hire men like McManigal and Jas.
B. McNamara to go about the country
blowing up the work of nonunion con-
tractors. The union's executive board
met from time to time and appropriated
money for which no accounting was
given.
"Now this defendant Morrin has
made a defence that he attempted to
have the union's accounts published
indicating 'there was something rotten
in the state of Denmark.' His defenoe
is not that these explosions were not
going on but that if they were going
on he did not know It"
The court held that this line of de-
fence opened to the government a full
line of inquiry as to whether the union
officials thought McNamara guilty be-
fore he actually pleaded guilty. Mc-
Namara pleaded guilty about two
months after the Milwaukee conven-
tion Tagasart Is Wltnesti for Defence.
Thomas Taggart former chairman
of the Democratic committee was a
witness for the defence this afternoon.
He was questioned by senator Kern.
When the government objected to
Taggarfs testimony senator Kern said
it -would be shown that when an explo-
sion occurred at French Lick. Ind. the
job was in the process of being union-
ized The government contended this
testimony was incompetent Finally
the witness was allowed to -ay the
job was being unionized.

comments he made on an invitation
he received to visit William T. Jerome
then district attorney of New York.
Ryan's comments were contained m
a letter written in January 190S to
John J. McNamara secretary of the
union. At that time according to
the government Ryan was in iew
York directing the "dynamiting cam-
paign" In the iron workers' general
strike against "open shops" contract-
ors. Ryan Identified a copy of a letter he
received from Jerome saying:
"I shall be glad to see you alone
or with your attorney. If you prefer.'
In his letter to McNamara he said:
"Another surprise. I enclose a
copy of Jerome's letter with a sug-
gestion that if I am prevented in any
way from conducting the affairs of
the association you should advise the
first vice president to take charge."
"What did you mean when you said
if I am prevented from conducting
the affairs of the association.'" asked
district attorney Miller
"I meant Just what it says.'
"There had been virulent attacks
published in New York and omanating
from the National erectors' associa-
tion and a man named Donnelly had
come to Albany to circulate a petition
to have me impeached as president I
did not know what there was to it
until I investigated Donnelly's end and
I wanted to be prepared for any
emergency. That is all there is to It
except that I saw Jerome"
Objection was then made to Ryan's
remarks. Federal judge Anderson
turning toward the witness said
"All this talk is irresponsive. This
Is the ease of the United States gov-
ernment against these defendants and
not the Erectors' association. The
government is oenina tnis prosecu-
tion." Senator Kern for the defence then
asked Ryan "were you comprehensive
that you had done anything contrary
to law that might endanger you?"
"I was not"
Wanted Xoney to Pay Viae
Michael J Hannon of Scranton
Pa. testified that "trimming" non-
union iron workers meant "beating
them up" Hannon said that in 1910
he wrote letters to McNamara asking
that men be sent to Scranton to help
unionise jobs there. He said non-
union men at work there were assault-
ing union men who were out of work
and he had asked McNamara to send
"money on the quiet" to pay attorneys
fees and possibly fines when the union
men defended themselves.
"Why was it you thought these
open shop contractors had no right to
do their work In the way they want-
ed?" the witness was asked.
"Because they employed men out-
side the union. We wanted to bring
non-union men into the union "
"How did you want to bring them
In on a stretcher?"
"No In a kindly way"

Why Duffy's Mait Gives
Health and Strength
W Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has been
v for fifty years one of the greatest ""nf
" restoratives known to medical science.
Why? Because it contains in a form most available
for the human system the wonderful strength-giving pow-
er of nature's greatest food grain combined with un-
usual tonic properties obtained through the process of
malting and distilling which has been exclusively used by
us since the beginning.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
One of the results of this process
is to obtain a whiskey of such purity
and quality as complies with the test
requirements of the United Steles
Pharmacopoeia.
As the pharmacopoeial standard
does not require that the gram be all
malted as found m Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey it will be seen our process
gives a whiskey superior to the re-
quirements of the United States Stand-
ard. Another result is to secure that
wonderful palatabihty and delicacy
of flavor for which Duffy's has al-
ways been celebrated and hkh ren-
ders H acceptable to stomachs 'cn
&ill not even retain other whiskies or
the most easily digested food.
Sold in Sealed Bottles only never in bulk. Price $ 1 .00 a large bet lie.
