it
might be difficult to arrange a ride
for him, but that he will do what he can
to arrange matters. In connection with
the man who desires to make the trip

well acquainted wtlh the man and the
facts in the case: -
Democrats and
Progressives Have
Slight Falling Out
WASHINGTON. July -Introduction
of a "gag rule" to insure the passage.
unamended, of the Clayton contempt bill.
precipitated a bitter fight in the house
today. The rule, which prevented any
amendments being offered to the bill and
limited general debate to three hours
was adopted, after the insurgent . repub
licans upbraided the democrats for de
serting principles for which they fought
together in ; the victorious campaign
against th ' alleged "gag" rules of
Speaker Cannon in the closing days of
the last congress.
The contempt bill would provide for
jury trials In cases of indirect contempt
or acts held to be in the contempt of a
federal court and not actually committed
in the presence of the court

Colonel Outlines Plan that He Says

SCHEME CONFIDED TO PUBLIC
Rrpnelican tapport to Be Traded for
r, mocratks and Everything Will
Be Swapped in Interest of
. . Third Party.
OTSTER BAT, N. T., July ,-Plans
were outlined today whereby Colonel
Roosevelt hopes to capture local and
state tickets from both the democratic
and republican parties In furtherance of
his purpose to put the new third party
on Its feet. It is proposed to execute the
move ' within the party organisations
where Roosevelt sentiment Is strong
enough to make such an attempt feas
ible." "In certain districts, said Colonel
Roosevelt, "the republican nominations
will be captured for progressives who
will support our candidates tor electors.
In other districts this will be done through
the democratic organizations."
"As the first step in the plan, there is
under preparation what will be perhaps
the most elaborate political chart of the
country ever made. When completed,
Colonel Roosevelt's organiser will have
data from every concresonal district in
the country regarding the strength of
the Roosevelt following, conditions In
both the demooratio and republican state
and district organisations, tabulations
showing tne vote m tne past national
elections, and lists of the best available
timber for the new party among political
workers and leading men In business and
the professions.
This will 1 be Colonel Roosevelt's war
map. It will show him at a glance
where the best field Ties in each state
and district for the success of the Roose
velt electoral candidates. In some cues
it is hoped to arrange for fusion of the
independent and republican or demooratio
tickets, provided the candidates of the
local tickets will support the Roosevelt
electors in exchange for having the
Roosevelt strength thrown to them.

Some Beauty Helps
You Should Know
The woman who prises her hair sham
poos it frequently in summer months
wtth canthrox and in this way keeps It
clean, bright and fluffy. A teaspoonful
of capthrox dissolved In a cup hot water
is ample for a good shampoo, and after
canthrox has been used, the scalp and
hair are Immaculately clean, whllo the
hair dries quickly and evenly. Canthrox
Is especially fine to restore the color and
fluff to faded, "stringy" hair, and over
comes that "mattv" look so common in
hot weather.
Many complexion-upsets would never
happen if women discarded greasy pore
clogging creams and used a plain lotion,
made by putting S teaspoonfuls glycerine
into H pint witch base (or hot water),
then adding 4 ounces spurmax. This lo
tion Is invisible . when on protects the
skin from tan and freckles, banishes the
