WASHINGTON. May 6.-(Special Tele
gram.) E. P. Vlning, formerly traffic man
ager of the Union Pacific and later of New
York and New England roads, was a wit
ness before the Interstate commerce com
mittee today. Senator Millard, who knew
of Mr. Vlnlng's ability In the early days
of " the t'nlon Pacific and recognized his
worth to that railroad In its period of con
struction, scoured the counliy to find this
gentleman. After much telegraphic service
he located Mr. Vlning in. Boston, where he
is wholly separated from the activities of
railroads. By a personal Invitation, coupled
with that of the chairman of the commit
tee, Senator Elkins, Mr. Vlning was given
a hearing today on those vital questions
which are uppermost In the minds of the
American people railroads and railroad
ratea In keeping with his Independent
way of dealing with questions, Mr. Vlning
claimed that the Interstate Commerce com
mission, In its crusade for additional power,
had not been given the Information that It
should have. In unqualified terms he con
demned the policy of the present Interstate
Commerce commission and Insisted that It
had shown Itself entirely incapable of deal
ing with the rate question, lie sfild that
what the American people wanted most
from the Interstate Commerce commission
was more light and less noise; that the
commission should be compelled by law
to furnish the public with such clear In
formation that the situation would be no
longer misunderstood. In his own words
he recommended that the books of nil the
railroads be opened to scrutiny and that
a system of government railway examiners
be created similar to the present system
of bank examiners. By that means he
believed justice could be obtained with the
rate regulating power invested only In con-vj
gress. Mr. vining, recognizing the snarp
ness of the conflict between localities,
especially in the west, contending for rates
favorable to certain Interests, stated that
the dispute in the matter of railroad rates
has never been between the shipper and
the consignee, but between locality and
locality, and In view of this contention he
Insisted that congress should have the all
Important power of regulating and altering
or creating rates.

on the river front In working order, so
that they ' would have sufficient power
The club desires to have the line extended
to Rlvervlew park, as the street Is graded
all the way through and paved as far as
Hickory street. If the extension Is not
made to tha park the club, at least, wishes
it as far as Bancroft street.
Matters pertaining to the repairs on side'
walks In the First ward and the grading
of Some of the streets were also discussed.

against two high officials of the Standard

asked of Governor Deneen next Monday,
The names have been suppressed. The
two officials are charged with having in

he owned a horse and wagon, hlch really
belonged to the Standard OH company, to
get possession of the same in order to
force Fred Humsuit, a resident of Fekln, o
quit selling 'the product of the Royal OH
company, an opposition concern. The
story Is as follows:
In 1901 Hamsult tmrchnsed from a man
who represented hlniBelf to be an agent
Oil company, a tank
wagon, used in peddling oil about tne
streets of the city. After a time he reasej
to handle the Blandurd oil and began to

Sent to Break I'p Competitor.
Attorney B. W. Cooney of Pekln, who
represented Hamsult, made a statement for
the Associated Press todny. He said that
shortly after Hamsult commenced business
In 1901 that a man named Thomas appeared
In Pekln and began to operate a rival
wagon. He visited the merchants and
other people with whom Hamsult did busi
ness and undersold him to such an extent
that bankruptcy stared ' him In the face.
In order to get his rival out of tho way
Hamsult offered to buy hint out. He
agreed to take $60, which he did, and dis
appeared. Shortly after this Kercher ap
peared and Instituted the replevin proceed
ings, which resulted In his gaining pos
session of the wagon.
In a statement made before he left Pekln
Kercher said that he was acting aa a dis
trict manager for the Standard Oil com
pany at the time and that he was sent to
Pekln with orders to break up competition
in that city.
He also said that an official who had
Jurisdiction over tho Ohio district was W.
T. Colllngs of Cincinnati. Kercher also
mentioned the name of G. W. Taylor of
Kentucky. At the local offices of the
Standard OH company It was said today
that Taylon was not an official of the com
pany at any time, but was simply an em
ploye ' of the company. '. It was further
Stated that he had not been In the employ
of the company for two years.
Mr. Cooney then displayed a letter writ
ten by Frank T. Monnett, attorney general
of Ohio at tha time, in which he gives
Mr. Cooney some advice as to how to pro
ceed. The letter goes on to state that a

MISTAKES
Many a bright and promising career ha.
been blighted by injurious habits of folly
before the age of knowledge and under
standing, ana many have been cut short
by the unfortunate contracting of some
poisonous special disease which, through
neglect or improper treatment, has com
pletely undermined and shattered the
physical strength and mental faculties. No
greater mistake can be made than to con
sider lightly the tlrst evidence of the in-
troduction of any private disease into your
system or to neglect the first symptoms of
weakened mind and approach of nervous
debility, caused by Improper or unnatural
hublls, excesses, dissipation, etc . .
Such Indifference and neglect of the first
symptoms Is responsible fur thousands of
human wrecks, f allures In life and busi
ness, domestic dlscurd, and unhappy mar
ried life, divorce, insanity, suicide, etc.
Men! Why take such desperate chancesT
The manifestations of the first symptoms
of any disease of weakness should be a
warning to you to take prompt steps to
safeguard your future lire ana nappines.
You should carefully avoid all uncertain,
xrMrfnieiital. dangerous or half-way treat
ment, for upon the first treatment depends
whether vou will be promptly restored to
health ana In, with all taint of the poison
ous dlseuse removed from your system, or
whether your disease will be allowed to
become chronic and subject you to future
recurrences of tho disease, with the various
recultlng complications, etc.
If we could but see and treat all men
when the first symptoms show themselves
there would soon be llttla need for so
called specialists in chrotilo diseases, and
there would be few men seeking a re
juvenating of their physical, mental snd
sexual powers, and there would be none
marked with the indelllble stamp of con
stitutional Syphilis; and the sufferers from
Varicocele, G!eet, Stricture, Kidney
and Bladder Diseases
would be reduced to a minimum. But ss
long as MEN continue to disregard the
guldnn adage, "A stitch in time saves nine,'
and continue to neglect themselves or to ex.
erclse Indifference In securing the right
treatment at the outset, Just so long wlU
there be multitudes of chronic sufferers.
