again at an early date, and every

with conspiracy to commit fraud by
retaining their various kinds of ap-
paratus with the knowledge that it
was worthless. No less than eigh-
teen hearings took place in the case,
the defendants being placed in the

ficers. actors and actresses, und news
paper men were placed on the stand,
and testified that the treatment they
had received had restored them to
health after they had failed to derive
benefit from the services OF emient
medical men, among the latter being
the late Sir Morrell Mackenzie. In

Guided that no jury would convict

matter to the government prosecu-
tor to decide whether or not he would
proceed with the case. In court to-
day it was announced that the
prosecution will not be followed, and

was heG oily In favor Of the Orggniza-

gray, to be called the United American
Veterans, such plan having been sug-
gested It embraces in its scope, be-
sides all soldiers Of the late civil war,
all Texas veterans as well as veterans
Of the Mexican war.
He suggested that In adopting a
badge the Southern cross that was
on the Confederate battle flag, with It's
thirteen stars, be Incorporated.
Those stars, he said, revolving
around the common center, are object
lessons from the Supreme Ruler of the
universe, teaching us that there are
two forces and balances against each
other, the outer force that presents
concentration to common center and
an inner force that holds the balance
of power and prevents disaster by dis
solution, The end of the century was
fast approaching, changes are appar-
emily coming and 1t behooves the sol
diers of the blue and the gray to unite
IN preventing harm from arising out
of those changes to their common
country, thus TO cement one people,
united and inseparable forever.
