Mr. Addams' personal claim to interest is great, but his three years' aprentice-shiD to that great master, James Mac- Neill Whistler; makes the present exhibi- 2.

The gallery, as a whole, presents a refreshing and unusual impression. Even the hanging is so individual and so well suited to the sizes and shapes that it at once arrests attention. There are portraits, nudes, landscapes and figure compositions showing great beauty of design, subtlety -of drawing and charm of color. The nude on the end wall, catalogued "A Young Jewess," shows perhaps more powerfully than any other one thing, Mr. ddams' capabilities.

It is not only hne in drawing and carefully studied in tone, but it breathes the artist spirit and is altogether a beautiful conception. 1 its masses and light effect suggesting the bigness of Rembrandt or Paul Veronese. It is a charming composition but less personal than, for instance, "Man and Woman Arguing." a most interesting suggestion of figures all enveloped in rich gray tones, showing- silhouette fashion against the lighter gray background. The sense of dispute is carried out in the lines of the thing, Avhich are full and sweeping. The woman holds a musical instrument and the general suggestion of eotumes seems to indicate that they are- strolling players.

"Watching the Swan" is amongst the most charming of the land- SCilDPS. Mr. Addams exhibition is selected from an accumulation of six years' work. Dur-ing the time since the ainter received a scholarship from the Pennsylvania Academy he has resided abroad. In Paris lie was master of the famous "'Acadernie Carmen," of vhich Mrs.

Addams, then Miss Bates, was mass i ere. The two were for several months in sole charge of Mr. Whistler's school. Since his marriage Mr, Addam. has lived in London.

He Ikis exhibited in the International Exhibition in of which Whistler was president. He will return to Paris immediately after the cloe of his exhibition here."

Snyder has a brother in the office of Chief: Engineer -Shahd. W. R. Hillyer, secretary and treasurer of the Juniata Company, was formerly a clerk in the chief engineer's office. "Mr.

Hillyer' says that- Mr. Shand haa no interest, direct or' indirect, in the Juniata Company, and other officers of the Pennsylvania road say the same. Suit Attains Shand "Last March Charles L. Greek, an Altoona broker, brought suit against the Pennsylvania road lor $40,000 damages through lii.s attorney, II. P.

Graffins, charging illegal discrimination. "The operating officer of the road charged with discrimination was Mr. Shand. Enos M. Jones was named as an active asont in the "Jt was arranged to submit the claim to three arbitrators appointed by.

the court. A subpena was issued for the late A. J. Cassatt and Cliief Engineer Shand to appear as witnesses, but it was never served. Deputy Sheriff Leedom reported that he could not obtain access to the two men in the Broad street offices of the company.

"After a hearing the arbitrator threw the case out of court on the ground that Hrmc-h Vvfio cnlil the rarlnans of s-tone to Greek, was merely a clerk for Simmsj consequently not- empowered to I make a contract with Greek. The issue I of the alleged interference by. Sband and Jones was not inquired into. Papers Disappear "Mysteriously, as attested bj Mr. Graf-fins "and another member of the Blair county bar, the papers in the case of Charles L.

Greek against the Pennsylvania Railroad have disappeared from the Prothonotary's records. in llollidayfiburg, the county seat. The summons, complaint, return and even the findings of the arbitrators have vanished. "Enoch M. Jones admitted to a reporter for" the World that he sells $2000 to $2500 of Fand each year directly, to the Pennsylvania Railroad.

"When Jones was asked if he had not engaged in the lumber- business and sold cross-ties to the railroad, he admitted the fact. He was shown a record of purchase of 552 acres of timber land for $4500 from W. A. Smith, in October, 1J02, while still chief clerk to Alexander C. Shaw, in his Altoona office, and admitted the purchase.

He also admitted buying 400 acres of cross-tie land from H. Burger and A. P. Wilson. He admitted that he had cut out the timber from tliose f52 acres and worked up such as were suitable into cross-tics.

PURCHASING AGENT MAKES A DENIAL D. S. Newhall, purchasing agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, denied emphatically the statements of, Pittsburg supply and equipment men, using strong terms. He admitted that one or more of them had made complaint before the company's investigating committee, but denied the truthfulness of their statements. He declared that the contracts given the Standard Supply and Equipment Company were subjected to competition, and denied that the Standard Company is shown any undue favor.

"I have mad it a he said, "invariably to deal with those who are located on our lines, rather than with those firms located elsewhere. We look after our own people first. They are shippers over our If any, favor is to be shown, they should profit it. "In referring to the printing and paper contract Mr. Newhall admitted that all thing being equal the company favors Stephen Greene and T-ane Scott, and gave the reason as Praises StneVs Abllltr "As to 'J.

Certain printing contracts cannot safely be awarded outside Philadelphia becauie of the changes which have to be made up to the last minute. LOCAL FIRMS DENY FAVORITISM STORIES Much comment was caused in railroad and business circles of this city by the facts alleged in the story of the immense amount of graft prevailing in the system of buying supplies for this corporation; Many of the cases cited have been -long subject of conversation among those familiar with the affairs. --of the railroad and there were many willing to credit all the charges made.

On the other hand, "all of the firm mentioned as having secured unfair. advantages in competition for the business of the railroad made emphatie denial of the existence of a system of favoritism. They claimed that their success in securing the contracts was due wholly to business acumen and the fact that in thcTpast excellent service had been given the railroad. Several of them, in fact, courted an investigation by President McCrea, claiming that such an inquiry would show the! falseness of charges of favoritism; J. H.

Sinex, the head' of the J. H. Sinex Paper Company, was indignant at the charges made, and, while admitting that he had a brother-in-law in the purchasing department of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and that officials of hi4 company were related officers of the! Pennsylvania said this was a mere matter of "I for one," he-said, "would be, very glad to see President McCrea investigate? these charges, for I am sure that the re- sulta would be a vindication of all those! mentioned in the charges of and that at the end of the inquiry our. firm -would have an even higher standing with the business community and the railroad than it has today. It is true that we have secured many contracts with the railroad, but this is because -We work on a small profit system and give excellent service, service that is not' equaled by any other firm.

"As far as using the influence of my brother-in-law J. H. Wilkinson, that story, is absurd I would not think of insulting "him by asking him to use his influence. We secure the contracts by giving the best goods and the best service at a low figure. it is, charged have a secret room for meeting with the.

LARGE AMOUNT IS SPEfrt HQR PRINTING "In 1905 the Pennsylvania road cast of Pittsburg spent $3,800,000 -printing, stationery and postage.

For printing alone the amount was Si.008.9G0.70, an increase of over the previous year. 1 "For thirty years, and until the contracts were recently awarded for the 1907 work, two Philadelphia concerns had virtually a monopoly of the printing contracts. "Stephen Greene Company, Arch and Sixteenth streets, and Allen, Lane Scott 1211 Clover street, Philadelphia, have done practically all the printing. The William. Mann Company, Sixth and Market streets, does most of the book binding, and J.

H. Sinex is the principal paper contractor. "Thirty odd years Greene, Allen. Lane ol-, kcott were working side bv side in 1 hiJadelphia Leisenring's printing establishment Greene was superintendent Allen was foreman of the composing A. Lane was foreman of the pressroom, and W.

H. Scott was an accountant in the The place burned down and Allen became receiver. "'Within a short time two imposing in-mting establishments arose from the ashes of the destroyed concern. Stephen Greene allied himself with one Helf en-stein, and Samuel aL. Lewis, comptroller of-the Pennsylvania Railroad, under the firm style of Helfenstein, Lewis Greene Incidentally Henry H.

Houston, the all-powerful director of the Pennsylvania, -in- those days, was Greene's brother-in-law. The firm did a tremendous business from "the start: Samuel aI. Lewi remained comptroller of the Pennsylvania for the three years thereafter, then resigned. He told an acquaintance, now resident in Altoona, that he wanted just three years of partnership in the printing business to fix himself for life. 'A certain amount Of company printing haa been offered at competition during recent years, but printers declare that contracts thus awarded are for the least' desirable and least profitable work.

Wilkinson, then chief clerk and now chief accountant in the purchasing agent's office of the Pennsylvania Railroaa. started in business for himself under the name of J. H. Sinex Company, occupving the second floor of 1217 Arch street. "By or otherwise, a nice family arrangement developed.

Wilkinson was assigned to be chief accountant of the department, and his Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease-Tried Five Doctors but Grew Worse In Agony Eight Months Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried Cuticura Remedies. IN ONE WEEK ALL SORES DISAPPEARED Our little girl, one year and a half old. was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor said it was. We called tin the family doctor and he -gave some 'tablets and said 'she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in' doctor No.

'J. He said she was teething, as soon as the teetk were through she would be all right But she still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow greenish sore.

Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning Ave discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eves. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came oyer and looked her over and said-that he could not do anything more her, that "we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer.

So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4. and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 7i.

Well, that proved the same, only he charged $10 more than doctor-No. 4. We were nearly "discouraged. .1 saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which -cost me $1, and in three days our daughter-, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improvement, and in one week all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not re-btore the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura time I am confident that it wonld-have saved the eye.

Sinex told me that in 1102 he made $17,000 out of sales amounting to to the Pennsylvania Kailroad, and that in 1104 he made on sales amounting to $115,001. The highest legitimate proht in close competition, on S115.000 would be, approximately, $10,000. The paper trade of Philadelphia recognizes that it is futile to attempt to sell writing paper to the Pennsylvania Railroad. Sinex sells the cardboard for tickets, and is in close relation with Stephen Green and with Allen. Lane Scott, printers, in all deals for paste paper and ticket board.

"Sinex told he said, 'that I was a fool to offer paper to the comjany for 12 and 15 per cent, profit. He said that 1 ought to get 25 per which was the lowest. figure he ever secured. It was in illustrating this remark that Sinex revealed to me the large profits he made in 10O2 and "The purchasing department of the Pennsylvania Railroad last summer permitted the use of "Canary Telegraph, or Whiting Paper Company's "Overbrook Mr. Whiting said his paper might as well have been left off, as the apparent competition amounts to nothing.

Sinex could not be met in price, as his paper was a wood pulp product, while the Whiting paper was made of rags. The unfairness lies in permitting an unknown watermark, which guarantees no quality. "For years the Scott Paper Company furnished all the toilet paper. The contract was taken away from it. Then the Scott Company stopped sending freight by the Pennsylvania Company.

Within six weeks' time it was again furnishing the toilet paper. "Sinex, Avhen he had a paper warehouse at No. 1215 Arch street, showed a reliable man a handsomely fitted-up room, used, he said, as a secret meeting place for principal officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
