DIDN'T ADVERTISE BEER. Denial of a Hitchcock Report Which Aroused the W. C. T. U. Washington, Oct. 7.—Officials of the in terior department today read with inter est and more or less amusement the reso lutions adopted by the W. C. T. U. of Oklahoma, critislng Secretary Hitchcock for traveling on Adolphus Busch's private car through Oklahoma and Indian terri tory, and “for distributing beer at Ho bart, saying it was the finest ever brewed." His secretary, Scott Smith, who accompanied the secretary, said: "The W. C. T. U. of Oklahoma should have got its facts straight. It Is true that Secretary Hitchcock and his party traveled on Mr. Busch's car, but the statement that Mr. Hitchcock undertook to advertise anybody’s beer is not true. I Some of the editors of the Indian terri- I tory and Oklahoma printed humorous paragraphs about the car and Its “com missary department," which, they said, was undoubtedly well stocked. As a mat ter of fact there was no commissary de partment of that kind. The only liquid refreshments that entered the car was taken there by hospitable reception com mittees and delegations who boarded the car to greet the secretary and his party. Some of these delegations accompanied the secretary from one town to another and naturally they wished to entertain him with true southwestern hospitality.

Oct- 9.—The dividend on the common stock of the United States Steel corporation for the last quarter was reduced from 1>4 per cent, to one- 1 half of l per cent., thus setting at rest a matter that lias agitated Wall street and financial circles generally for many weeks. To quote a very high authority in the affairs of the corporation, "the 1 action of the board was unanimous and was caused by the falling off In bus iness.” This last is borne out by the financial statement issued shortly after the meet ing. The statement shows a decrease of $4,642,668 (September estimated,) for the third quarter of the calendar year, compared with the same period last year. On October t, 1902, the corpora tion had unfilled orders of 4,843,000 tons on hand. This year the unfilled orders on the same date amounted to 3,728,742 tons. The course of steel common in the last few months clearly indicated that today's cut has been largely dis counted. The regular dividend of 1% per cent, on the preferred stock was declared. This dividend is payable November 16. The dividend on the comon stock is payable December 30. The statement for the nine months gives total net earnings, after monthly deductions for repairs, renewals, main tenance and Interest on bonds and fixed charges of the subsidiary companies, $94,013,836. Deducting amounts for sinking funds on bonds of subsidiary companies and depreciation of reserve funds, brings the net earnings down to $82,211,092. A further deduction of in terest on the corporation’s bonds, in cluding the sinking funds, leaves a bal ance of $65,970,217. Dividends on the preferred and common shares for the nine months aggregate $86,629,475, leav ing a balance of undivided profits or surplus for that period of $29,348,742. GO TO WfcST POINT.

I FIGHT WITH MAN AT WHITE HOUSE Peter Elliott of Minneapolis Has Been Shadowing the President. OFFICERS CONQUER HIIV - . | Two Shots Were Fired From Weapon in Secret Pocket, and Elliott Was Badly Hurt—No Doubt of His Insanity. Washington, Oct. 7.—A desperate hand to hand encounter with an armed Insane man, who was determined to see President Roosevelt, occurred In the vestibule of the White house short ly before noon today. The man, who gave the name of Peter Elliott of Min neapolis, was overpowered by officers at the White house entrance and car ried to a police van which had been sum moned, and placed in custody of two officers. Seeming to realize for the first time [ that he was under arrest, Elliott be gan furiously to struggle for liberty. He drew a revolver from his trousers’ | pocket and attempted to shoot Officer Clssell. The officer wrenched the weap on from his grasp, but Elliott strug gled so fiercely the two officers were un able to overcome him. Clssell Bred two Bliots from the re volver to attract attention, when two White house officers rushed to the vehicle and assisted In overpowering Elliott. Elliott's head and face were severely cut by the glass which he broke. Officer Clssell sustained serious cuts on his arm. Both men were removed to a hospital, where the Injuries were Elliott Is Insane. Elliott is undoubtedly violently In- 1 sane. Several days ago Secretary I.oeb ! received a letter postmarked Washing ton, written on letter paper of the St. James hotel. The letter enclosed a photograph of Elliott and an Incoherent request for an Interview with Roose velt. The letter was signed "Peter Ell,” the statement being made immediately under the signature that the writer was registered at the hotel as Peter Elliott. Mr. Loeb Issued directions at once that the officers on duty at the White House executive offices should be on guard against Elliott. Yesterday when the president attend ed services at Grace Reformed church Elliott appeared near the entrance of the church and made an effort to speak to the president, but was foiled by the secret service officers. He quietly left the vicinity when ordered to do so. About 10 o’clock this morning he en tered the vestibule of the executive of fices and Inquired for the president. The doorkeeper asked him why he wanted to see him. "Oh, Just for fun," he responded; “the president sent for me, and I Just want to see him.” Called at Executive Offices. Elliott was told to return next month. He smiled and walked away, not offer ing the slightest objection to the re buff. His appearance attracted very little attention and he gave no Indi cation at that time of insanity. Just before noon Elliott walked up to the main door of the White House, stepped Inside and Inquired If he might see the president. Chief Usher Stone told the man he could not see the pres ident, as he was engaged. Instantly, the man having been recognized, a hurried call was 3ent In for a police van. Scarcely had the call been sent In when Elliott became violent. The officer and attendant threw themselves upon hint, and after a brief but stren uous struggle, overpowered him. A cursory examination of his pockets disclosed only a pair of shears and a large penknife. He became quiet, but refused to leave the White House until forced to go. Officers conveyed him to the police van, and the struggle oc curred Immediately. Had a Revolver. Elliott drew his revolver from a pock, et which seemed to be an enlarged watch fob. As that is a most unusual place in which to carry a pistol the officers in the first hurried search had overlooked the weapon. It was a pis tol of the ordinary bull dog, five shoot er pattern. At the hospital where the wounds were dressed Elliott said he was a Swede, 35 years old. He Is about 6 feet 6 Inches high, with light brown hair and beard, apparently of foreign birth. An official examination as to his mental condition will be held very soon. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 6.—Inquiries developed the fact that Peter O.

EDISON’S LATEST. Has an Invention Which Will Miti Light at Almost a Nominal Cost. Philadelphia, OeL 8.—Thomas A. Ed ison has achieved the greatest of all his triumphs in the conquest of the forces of electricity. He has conceived and created an electrical generator which derives its power from a “fuel”, of mar velous potency, oud which will place electric lights und electricity propelled vehicles In the hands of tho masses of the people. The perfection at this wonderful things—so new that It Is yet unnamed-— makes possible the almost universal '• utilization of the Btorage battery, which Mr. Edison Invented several years ago,., and the two creations go hand In hand to the accomplishment of well-nigh In conceivable results. Six feet long, six feet high and five feet wide, the generator Is capable of producing electricity sufficient to store one of the Edison batteries to run an ! automobile und light a house at a price very much less than that exacted by large supply companies. The machine can now be made at a cost of $450, and the inventor declares that the cost will be much reduced in a short time. After tbe first expense the outlay for operating in almost nominal. The generator la so simple in its workings that any person of ordinary intelligence can act as engineer. Three pounds of the "fuel*” which. Mr. Edison says has never been adapt ed to Its present purposes before, will, through the generator, light a house and run a motor car tor twenty-four hours. Mr. Edison explained to a re porter that the machinery necessary to. the manufacture of his Invention In numbers sufficient to be placed on the market Is yet to be constructed. He expects, however, to have accomplished that part of the work within a year. The Inventory story of hls Invention is me of fascinating interest. IIMisUKUfclN I S VIUIUKS.
