.WWTIOU Of BONAPARTE FAILS

TO BE El Senator Culberson Objects to Roosevelt's Choice For Attorney General Because nf Trust Views. ENATOR KNOX RISES TO j APPOINTEE'S. DEFENSE. Admits That Bonaparte For-; merly Objected to Trust' Legislation But Like Many; Others Has Changed. r I Publishers Pres. Washington, D. C, Drc. 10 To the preat surprise of Senators, the con firmation of Secretary of the Navy i?onaparte as attorney general, was pposed this nftemoon, shortly after he Senate doors were closed for the onsideration of a large batch of nomnatlons. Earlier In the day the judiciary ommittee held a meeting at which ne nominations of Mr. Moody to bo in associate justice of the supreme ourt and of Mr. Bonauarte to be his Jmccessor were unanimously ordered avorably reported. Mr. Knox, who was Instructed to eport the nominations did so as soon ks the doors were closed. He asked unanimous consent for their immed ate confirmation. To his constern ation. Senator Culbertson called atentlon to some utterances made by Mr. Bonaparte during a speech deliV' red at Chicago, in September 1899, t a conference held to consider the est method of dealing with the trust problem, which at that time was bo oming a permanent issue. Against Trust Legislation. The first extract read, quoted Mr. Bonaparte as declaring emphatically gainst trust legislation and saying: "Our public men (with, I need not ay, some honorable exceptions,) are kholly unfit to deal with any such hatter. The attempt will be highly lemoralizing to all concerned, and he practical result, (except in the bvy of blackmail) altogether megaory." Mr. Culbertson indicated an Inten tion towards determined opposition. I Is this a fit man to be given the portion of attorney general of the Unitfd States and charged with enforc ing the various drastic anti-trust acts in the statute books?" he asked. Combination Was Inevitable. He read another extract which luoted Mr. Bonaparte as declaring hat the tendency of combination was n Inevitable feature of modern civlization from which no free and enghtened country could escape, "and hlch has force in proposition to ach country's freedom and enlightnent." Mr. Bonaparte said that it did ot follow that he regarded combiatlons as a good thing. "I am not, owever, prepared to say" read Mr. 'ulberson from the speech of Mr. Bonaparte, "that this tendency Is I armful; It has a good side and a bad jide, and there is less reason to make p our minds as to Its merits, because . hatever we may think, we cannot revent, except, at the price of liberty Ind civilization." Had a Change of Heart. Senator Knox explained that Mr. Bonaparte had had a complete Ihange of heart, if the speech quoted Igainst him was correct, and he asJiimed the Senator that the proposed lead of the department of Justice ras heartily in accord with all the Idministrations policies for restrainhg unlawful combinations, and that le would do all possible to make i hese policies and the laws of conIress effective. There was some amusement caused ly several senators declaring that Iery few public men have not changd their views in the past few years. The discussion was ended by Mr. feller invoking the rule that upon obction, all rrorts on nominations Ibould go over one day. Would Support Intervention. In the open session of the Senate, resolution was introduced by Mr. Lodge, and at his request referred to he Committee on Foreign Relations, Jiving assurances to the President hat any Intervention to stop the at bcitles in the Congo Free Statr ould receive the cordial support of j le Senate.

2,500 Customers Visit Jones Hardware Store as Result of Palladium's Ad

Last night the Item rejoiced In the fact that 500 customers had visited the Jones Hardware Company's store Saturday night at the result of an ad. which appeared in the Item. The rejoicing took the form of a boast paraded before the unsophisticated public. Monday morning the Palladium contained an ad. for the Jones Hardware 'Company. La?t night a representative of the Palladium called up President Jones in order to find out if the Palladium adhad brought any results. "You can say," replied. Mr. Jones, "that as a result of the Palladium's ad. there were about 2,500 people in our store today." People seeing both the Item and the Palladium will note the superiority in makup of the Palladium's ads and how the manner in which they are printed stands out like a metropolitan paper compared with a country weekly. These points,' everyone who sees the two papers admits, and now comes one of the leading firms in Indiana with the announcement that the results obtained from the Palladium ad. in one issue is 2,500 customers while the Item says that the same firm secured but iJftO customers by advertising with it. Moral: Use the Palladium as an advertising medium. It brings five times greater results than the Item.

HEALTH OfflCER PERMITS GLEN TO BE MADE A HOT BED OF DISEASE GERMS

Gives His Sanction to Dumping Refuse from Alleys In Ravine at Glen Miller, Where Stream Carries the Contagion Into Lake and Along Brooks, Where Water Cress Grows, Which Is Eaten By Many People.

("Shall the Eastern part of Glen Mil ler Park, fronting Main street, and lying directly east of the Main street drive, be turned into a dumping ground for the city's alley refuse, making it a , veritable hot bed of disease 'germs,' and an eyesore to the city?" This is the important question that many prominent citizens and ts pecially those of the Eastern part of the city, are asking at the present time. At the orders of the Board ot Public Works, who thoroughly considered the matter before starting the dump which is now growing to large proportions, the drivers of the scavenger wagons were ordered to dump all ashes and refuse into the ravine, hoping to fill it up and thereby beautify the lawn in front of tho old "Glen House.' The Board is acting in good faith and hopes to fill tho gully, making it on a level with' Main street at that point, but many citizens are complaining stating that the dump will not only the 1)eautjp of thj a(. that point for several months to come, but will also be a great source of unhealthfulness. owing to the fact that practically all the . refuse of the al leys, which are recognized as the receptacle for all filth and dirt of the homes of the city, is thrown into the dump. They also hold that whereever there is contagion in homes about the city the cloths and othei material used in the treatment of disease find in many cases, a place in the alley with the other offall. These are gathered up by the ash man and takn to the dump, w here for months after, the germs live and breed, and -which whenever it rains will be washed into the small streams running through the dumping ground down through the Glen, over the mary springs and finally finds lodging in the lake. Appeal to Former Commissioner. Already D. C. Genn, the formei street commissioner, has been api pealed to by three invalid laoies of the citj' asking him to take steps to stop the growing dump, because they believe the spring water which they are using, will be affected. Thinking that Mr. Genn was still in office and having power to prevent the dumpage. they sent their appeals to him. ' Those persons who are loudest m their condemnation of the dump, in no wise blame the Board ot Public Works, for dumping the refuse at the point in question, for they say that they know the board is doing it, in order to beautify the point, bat believe that the Board of Health, which has jurisdiction over the sanitary phase ol park government, should procibit the Board of Works from making a further dump of the ravine. When asked last night ax to whether or not the dump would be a3 great a source of disease as mauy people complaining are inclined to think, one of the most prominent physicians cf the city, and one who is well ported on diser-e and its sources, stated "I cannot see but what in disc the dump is completed, it will be a veritable hotbed for pathogenic germs Owing to the sma'l stream winch flows at the present time near- the dump and as I understand it in time will be directly under iu all the germs collected in the rags and other debris of the alleys which is

thrown on the dump will be carried into the stream over the springs and Into the lake." "Will the germs affilliate with the spring water in any way" he was asked. Where the Danger Lies. "No. That cannot be. a'though passing near or directly over them, because the- spring water comes through the ground with Buch force that the germs could not possibly penetrate in.to the source thirty feet below the level. The great danger does not He there however. The stream flows directly through great patches of water cress which many people of the city are in the habit of eating, and which makes a, very palitable dish when eaten raw. but in case the dump is allowed to grow the germs therefrom will go down the 5tream and will naturally be obsorbed by the war cress, and many people unknowingly or thoughtlessly will eat of the plant and thereby be subjected to , those pathogenic germs, coming from the pile of refuse. Then again, the water from the stream Hows into the lake where th boys swim in the summer time.. As you know when boys swim they swallow a great deal of the water or ect it in their mouths, and they will be subject to the disease germs." Other Bad Features. "Are there any other reasons why the dump should be prohibited" was asked. "Yes, the dump cannot be completed for several months and from an aesthetic ioint 'of view, will be very distasteful to both the people of the city and to the visitors at the park next year. No . matter what they do to it the dump will for several years be a germ breeder, and whenever it rains a frightful stench will arise from the fill." "Supposing they cover the ashes and other refuse with dirt" was ask ed will the stream then be subjected to the germs." . "Yes, decidedly so" continued the physician, "just so soon as the dirt is placed over the refuse, it only goe3 to prolong the life of the germs. Darkness is one of the requisites for the long life of pathogenic germs and they will only live the longer and subject the water of the lake to further and more prolonged contamination." Several other prominent physicians of the city, who did not care to have their names mentioned In connection with the matter, also stated that the bed of ashes and refuse collected from the alleys would be a bed for livine eerms. eausA trrt tmM0 be a -source of danr t rr iting the park. No Action by Dr. Bond. When asked last night concerning the matter. Dr. Bond, secretary of the City Board "of 'Health stated that he thought there would be no danger of pathogenic germs In the refuse because of the ashes passed through fire and therefore terms would be destroyed. When told that all kinds of alley refuse was thrown on . the dump, consisting of rags, papers and all manner of debris. Dr. Bond stated that h did not think that the mat-
