THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.
Takes up Much Time of the Senate.
Foraker Heard From?District of
Coulmbia Affairs Chiefly Occupy
Attention of House.
Washington, Dec. 14.?The Browns
ville affair consumed nearly the en
tire session of the Senate today. Sen
ator Foraker obtained the floor early
in the day and read letters from a
former soldier of the 25th regiment
telling of the procedure of Govern
ment detectives in attempts to get a
confession from him. Mr. Foraker in
troduced an amendment to his origi
nal bill for the re-enlistment of these
soldiers provided that a commission
of three retired army officers be cre
ated to determine whether the dis
charged soldiers are innocent of com
plicity in the shooting up of Browns
ville as a pre-requisite for their re
enlistment instead of leaving that du
ty with the President as provided by
the Warner bill.
Following these remarks the Pres
ident's message giving the results of
the War Department's investigation
of the Brownsville affair was read
a.id Mr. Foraker again took the floor
to comment upon the message.
At 3:45 the Senate adjourned.
House of Representatives.
While considering bills dealing with
affairs in the District of Columbia
the House today passed a measure
providing for 85 cent gas in Wash
ington. The bill now goes to the
Senate, as well as another bill abol
ishing "bucketshops" in the District.
A bill providing for free lectures
in the public schools was voted down.
An attempt by Representative Hen
ry, of Texas, to obtain a change In
the reference of a bill prohibiting the
making of future contracts on agri
cultural products brought forth the
promise from Chairman Scott, of the
agricultural committee, that his com
mittee would soon grant hearings to
farmers' unions and others on this
subject. The House voted to adjourn
Saturday, December 19th, to Monday,
January 4th, and adjourned for the
day at -5 P. M.
Marked for Death.
"Three years ago I was marked for
death. A grave-yard cough was tear
ing my lungs to pieces. Doctors fail
ed to help me, and hope had fled,
when my husband got Dr. King's

Williams, of Bac, Ky. "The first

pany's Quoted Value
Said That New Corporation will Be 1
Formed With $500,000,000 Each j
Preferred and Common Stock? c
Average Earnings of Past Ten t
Years Would Show 814 Per Cent J
on Capitalization.
New York, Dei!. 14.?There was a |
j big jump in Standard OH on the curb ,
today. The opening bid w:\s 700, or j f
ten points above the closing figures ?
of Saturday. The best offer was 72?>. j j
This attracted general attention and ?
started gossip as to a new company, t
with increased capital. After half an
hour of bidding, a sale was made j t
at 720, or twenty points above Satur- j t
day's close. This is the highest point j e
within three years. I
The advance represented an appre- f
elation in the company's capital in i e
one day of $20,000,000. It is said on ! 0
what appears to be good authority ?
that the new company will be, like e
the steel corporation, a billion dol-1 j
lar concern; that the capital will be i
*1,000,000,000, divided into $500,000,- v
000 7 per cent, preferred stock and
$500,000,000 common stock. c
Averaged $85,000,000 a Year. e
The investigation by the govern- 0
meat brought out the fact that the ?
company has been earning $85,000,000 g
a year for the last ten years. This a
much the officials of the company c
have been forced to acknowledge. e
?T?st what other earnings there are 0
is a matter of conjecture only.
Eighty-five millon dollars is 8% per
cent, on a capitalization of $1,000,000,
000, and would permit of 6 per cent. f
on the common, with 2V6 per cent of]
the known earnings held back for
depreciation, betterments, and im
provements.
Such a company will, It Is expect
ed, find no trouble in selling its g
stocks. The present government ex- t
animation has proved what a wonder- j
fully managed corporation the con- j
ocrn'ls. The stock listed on the ex- (
change will always be one of the a
leading issues traded in there, and f
the fluctuations will be watched with
the same degree of closeness that ^
is given to Union Pacific and the t
United States Steel Corporation Is
sues. I
Holdings of the Big Men. j
There are today about 6,000 hoi- r
ders of the stock, with John D. Rock- a
efeller holding 27 H per cent of the c
total. Under the new organization, r
he would hold $275,000,000 of the new (
company's stock. Henry M. Flagler t
would hold $87,500,000; Charles Pratt t
$71,000,000; Oliver H. Payne, $71,400,- j
000; J. A. Bostwick, $48,400,000; Wil- }
liam Rockefeller, $45,700,000; W. G. j
Warden, $42,000,000; Benjamin Brew- (
ster, $11,700,000, and John D. Arch- ,
bold a paltry $10,000,000.
The remainder will be distributed (
to the smaller holders of the com- (
pany. These men mentioned own j
66.6 per cent, of the company, and (
will continue to manage It. No one j
knows just what the company's in- ^
come is from Investment securities <
and other sources, but it Is gen
erally believed that it runs into the i
millions also.?Washington Post.
Near Death's Door. (
"I was near to death's door. The (
doctor said he had done all he could; ^
that my stomach was old and worn (
out. I was so weak I could not walk |
1 took Mi-o-na tablets, and have been ,
eating hearty ever since, and I am j
able to work like a tiger. I wish I (
could go and thank you myself. I ,
send you my picture, and you can j.
use my word and my picture, and I j
thank you again."?Mrs. Nelson Lu
